Liu Bin said to the person who had just reported, "It seems that the lord's analysis is correct. Wang Yun should be taking action soon."

"Boss, what do we do?" Liu Bin's deputy, Xu Pei, asked.

Liu Bin shook his head and said, "According to the lord's instructions, we don't need to do anything now. Let's wait for Wang Yun's next move."

Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of his subordinates, including Xu Pei, Liu Bin continued, "Didn't our lord give us a plan earlier? Didn't you read it?" Liu Bin asked Xu Pei, who shook her head, "I only read part of it, I didn't finish it."

"Damn it!" Liu Bin couldn't help but swear. "What am I supposed to say to you guys?!"

"Hehe, boss, you know what kind of person I am, Lao Xu. Lazy! Besides, I'm just someone who carries out missions. Boss, just tell me what to do." Xu Pei knew he had made a mistake, but luckily it wasn't a big one. He quickly said to Liu Bin, "Boss, stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

"Before Ding Yuan's westward migration, our lord sent over a plan that included a general analysis of what would happen after Ding Yuan's move. Now it seems those analyses were absolutely correct. Our lord is truly amazing!" Liu Bin couldn't help but flatter Chen Er. Hearing Liu Bin's flattery, Xu Pei and the others got goosebumps. However, Liu Bin's next words stunned everyone. "Our lord mentioned in the plan that Wang Yun would definitely use a honey trap to sow discord between Dian Wei and Ding Yuan. According to the information from our spies in the Sikong Mansion, Wang Yun does indeed have an adopted daughter named Li Chan. Moreover, today Wang Yun actually invited Dian Wei to a banquet. You know, that old fellow Wang Yun has always looked down on warriors, especially those from humble backgrounds. He actually invited Dian Wei! Tell me, what does this mean?"

"Does this mean that Wang Yun is taking the initiative to make amends?" Xu Pei said.

“That’s right. Wang Yun is making overtures to Dian Wei, and a brother from the Sikong’s mansion just sent word that Wang Yun is going to host a banquet for Ding Yuan tomorrow, apparently to discuss something. What do you think is the reason for this?”

"This..." Xu Pei was a little unsure again. He quickly found the plan and started searching. A few minutes later, Xu Pei exclaimed, "Heavens! What the lord said is almost exactly the same as the actual events."

Indeed, Chen Er's plan mentioned the major events after Ding Yuan's westward relocation, as well as the conspiracy between Wang Yun and Liu Bian, and Wang Yun's use of a beauty trap to sow discord between Dian Wei and Ding Yuan. At this point, Xu Pei couldn't help but believe that Liu Bin's flattery was quite effective. He also understood why Liu Bin had told them to hold back. There was no need to move at all. They just needed to wait for Wang Yun, Dian Wei, Ding Yuan, and various other forces in Chang'an to make their move. They were there to reap the benefits.

Just as everyone was discussing, a knock came at the door, and a brother's voice came from outside: "Boss, news has come from the Sikong Mansion that Wang Yun has agreed to marry Li Chan to Dian Wei."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. This!

For a moment, everyone who had read the plan was stunned. Was that really the case?

It's alright that they were stunned. If Wang Yun knew that someone had found out so quickly that he was going to marry Li Chan to Dian Wei, he would probably turn the entire Sikong Mansion upside down. This intelligence capability is really terrifying.

However, Wang Yun will never know any of this, and by the time he does, it will be too late.

Another night has passed. Countless people have not slept this night. Li Chan has not slept, Wang Yun has not slept, and Dian Wei has not slept at all. Perhaps the reasons for their insomnia are different, but they all have one thing in common: Wang Yun!

Yes, it's Wang Yun. Although Li Chan didn't understand the core of Wang Yun's plan, she knew that Wang Yun wanted to do it for the royal family. As a woman who had received a Confucian education, Li Chan was a woman who understood the bigger picture. However, she didn't know that Wang Yun was slowly changing. After successfully seducing Dian Wei yesterday, Wang Yun's heart had undergone some changes. His ambition had been amplified infinitely. Dian Wei was about to become his son-in-law. If the plan succeeded and he could win back Dian Wei's heart, Wang Yun would be able to control the army in Chang'an. In that case, he would be a meritorious official who served the emperor.

Well, it's time to send someone out of the city to deliver messages to the warlords of Bingzhou, the Northern Autonomous Region, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou. We need these people's help to completely eliminate the Xiliang army.

As for the saying "it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away," Wang Yun wasn't worried. He believed Lu Zhi would definitely be more than willing to stand on his side, and as long as Dian Wei could restrain a portion of the army as a deterrent, that would be enough. He had taken advantage of the situation! What did he have to fear?

"The Grand Tutor has arrived!"

Just as Wang Yun was lost in thought, the sound of the steward outside the door startled him, and he hurried out to greet Ding Yuan's arrival.

What happened next was no different from Chen Er's previous life. Ding Yuan entered the Sikong Mansion, and then Li Chan inadvertently passed by the banquet hall, where Ding Yuan saw her. Wang Yun then concealed the fact that he had already agreed to marry Dian Wei. Thus, when Dian Wei came to present the betrothal gifts, he happened to see Ding Yuan flirting with Li Chan, while Wang Yun had already hidden himself away.

Upon seeing Dian Wei arrive, Ding Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Didn't Dian Wei say he had private matters to attend to today? Why had he come to the Sikong Mansion again? Had something major happened?

Seeing Dian Wei's furious expression, Ding Yuan had no idea that he was fighting with his adopted son for a woman. If he had known that Li Chan was already Dian Wei's intended, Ding Yuan certainly wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on her. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't compare to the importance of the country.

However, even if Ding Yuan knew the truth, he wouldn't explain the misunderstanding to Dian Wei. In Ding Yuan's view, Dian Wei should be understanding of him.

However, Ding Yuan never imagined that it was because of this that a misunderstanding truly arose between him and Dian Wei. What kind of person was Dian Wei? To say he was heartless and ungrateful was an exaggeration. But if Ding Yuan had explained things to Dian Wei properly, Dian Wei would have understood the misunderstanding and, having gained Li Chan, there certainly wouldn't have been any rift between them. However, all of this was just a hypothetical scenario.

The real issue was that Dian Wei had misunderstood, and this misunderstanding deepened with Li Chan's deliberate explanation. After doing all this, Li Chan said to Dian Wei, "Lord Wen, I am no longer a virgin. Please leave."

In fact, Li Chan hadn't actually been sexually assaulted by Ding Yuan; she had only been "forced" into his arms. But the more Li Chan said this, the more pain Dian Wei seemed to feel.

"Cicada, don't worry, no matter what, I will want you."
