Ning Jing had lied to him?
Ning Cheng stared deeply at Ning Jing and said, "Tang Li?"
Uncle Cheng might have forgotten what had happened at Myriad Merchant Hall, but Ning Cheng had always kept it in mind. When Ning Jing had brought Tang Li to Myriad Merchant Hall's casino, she had even worn a mask to hide her identity.
What had she done there?
She had always told him that she had not captured Tang Li. However, the moment she had gone missing, Tang Li had offered the Tang Sect's secret formula for making hidden weapons as a reward. Tang Li clearly cared about her!
Actually, Ning Jing knew very well that if Ning Cheng had not been kidnapped at Blacktower, perhaps she and Tang Li would still be trapped at Myriad Merchant Hall. Or perhaps Ning Cheng would have detained Tang Li to threaten the Tang Sect.
Ning Cheng had already suspected her when they were at Myriad Merchant Hall.
"Big Brother, I didn't know it was Tang Li." Ning Cheng lowered his head. "Big Brother, I … I …"
Although revealing this matter now would not cause too much harm to the Di Clan and Ning Cheng, Ning Jing still found it difficult to say it.
"Speak." Ning Cheng's voice was very cold. He did not have time to let Ning Jing hesitate here.
"Big Brother, I-I lied to you about something. The Tang Sect is actually … "
Ning Jing steeled her heart and said, "The Tang Sect is actually Long Fei Ye's power. Tang Li is Long Fei Ye's cousin and also his subordinate."
Ning Cheng was stunned when he heard this.
After a while, he chuckled coldly. "Long Fei Ye … Long Fei Ye …"
He had racked his brains and sacrificed his most capable subordinates, his closest little sister's happiness, to rope in the Tang Sect and get their hidden weapons. But in the end, it was all a joke! A joke that Long Fei Ye had been watching the entire time!
The Tang Sect was Long Fei Ye's power?
So … so the marriage wasn't the Di Clan's fault for marrying Ning Jing into the Tang Clan with ulterior motives, but Long Feiye's fault for making Tang Li marry Ning Jing with ulterior motives!
If Ning Jing had failed to capture Tang Li and been taken by Tang Li instead, then what kind of losses would Cloud Realm Trade Consortium have Cloud Realm Trade Consortium?
Ning Cheng immediately recalled Ning Jing's dowry: the arms trade!
Finally, the truth!
"When did you find out?" Ning Cheng asked angrily. Who would be able to speak nicely when they found out that they had been played for a fool?
"I found out when we were in Medical City," Ning Jing replied honestly.
"Why didn't you say anything? Why did you bring Tang Li to the gambling house? "Ning Cheng asked next.
Ning Jing fell silent for a long time before she murmured, "Big brother, I like Tang Li … I …"
She didn't know how to explain herself. Many things could be explained, but feelings were the only thing that couldn't be explained. No one could be absolutely rational when it came to feelings.
In the end, Ning Jing gently stroked her belly hidden beneath her loose robes and said, "The child is almost five months old. I wanted to take him away, but now …"
Ning Jing knew she shouldn't be asking Ning Cheng this question now, but she couldn't wait to ask. Only then could her guilty heart be relieved.
She said, "Big brother, if … if we can leave this place alive, can I go back to the Tang Clan?"
Since the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin was just a misunderstanding, then there was nothing between her and Tang Li anymore! She missed her days at the Tang Clan. She really, really wanted to see Tang Li before her child was born.
Ning Cheng looked at her for a long time before he suddenly broke into a wry smile. Ning Jing didn't know what he was laughing about, but she felt uneasy.
No matter what, she had betrayed the Di Clan.
But Ning Cheng only said, "It's enough for you and me to know about this. If … if we can leave this place alive, hehe, don't forget to send me an invitation to my nephew's one-month-old birthday party!"
Ning Jing was so moved that she almost threw herself at Ning Cheng, but she didn't dare. She nodded repeatedly. "Big brother, we will definitely leave this place alive! Big brother, Han Yunxi didn't mean to hurt you. She gave that needle to Bai Yanqing. She told me herself that the poison needle was a misunderstanding! Big brother, after you went missing, Han Yunxi helped Myriad Merchant Hall a lot … "
Ning Jing then told Ning Cheng everything that Han Yunxi had done at Myriad Merchant Hall. Ning Cheng listened quietly, his hand caressing his phoenix feather mask.
"Big brother, we not only have to guard against Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye attacking the Di Clan first, but we also have to guard against Han Yunxi cutting off the Di Clan's source of income! Once Myriad Merchant Hall's source of income is cut off, you might not even be able to give Jun Yi Xie the money you promised! "Ning Jing grew anxious." Big brother, we have to find a way to contact Han Yunxi as soon as possible! "
Ning Cheng's face turned pale as he listened. He muttered to himself, "East Origin Hall … Kangan Bank …"
His reaction was even more shocking and despairing than when Gu found out that Kangan Bank was Long Fei Ye's property.
After all, the few gold cards he had, including a limitless gold card, all came from Kangan Bank. Actually, there was no need for Han Yunxi to cut off Myriad Merchant Hall's source of income. Long Feiye might have sealed off his gold cards long ago, leaving him with no soldiers' pay and provisions to give Jun Yixie!
If he didn't give Jun Yi Xie any military pay, Jun Yi Xie wouldn't be able to deal with the Northern Dynasties Emperors. Then Northern Li would remain in a stalemate between the north and the south.
Thus, unless the Northern Dynasties Emperors and Jun Yi Xie joined forces, Long Fei Ye wouldn't have to worry about any changes in Northern Li that could threaten the south!
Moreover, the Di Clan's current wealth could only support them for a year or so. If they supported Jun Yi Xie as well, they could only last for half a year at most.
Even if the Di Clan and Jun Yi Xie joined forces, they wouldn't be able to defeat Long Fei Ye even if they didn't have to worry about the Northern Dynasties Emperors attacking the south!
Ning Cheng finally realized a fact he'd never considered before!
The truth was that Long Fei Ye was Cloud Realm Continent's richest man! No matter how Cloud Realm Continent changed, it couldn't escape the palm of his hand.
If Myriad Merchant Hall hadn't been embroiled in that crisis, they might have been able to hold out a little longer. The Di Clan might have been able to seize some of the initiative as well.
"What's the relationship between Golden Wing Hall and Long Fei Ye?" Ning Cheng asked Coldly.
The Golden Wing Palace was directly responsible for the fact that the Di Clan had fallen into the hands of others!
Ning Jing shook her head. She only knew that East Origin Hall belonged to Long Fei Ye. She'd asked Han Yunxi about Golden Wing Hall's origins, but Han Yunxi had been puzzled as well. She'd even sent people to investigate.
Ning Jing hadn't slept a wink when she learned so much from Han Yunxi. Moreover, what about Ning Cheng, the head of the Di Clan and head of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium?
This kind of feeling was as if his pride had suddenly been trampled under someone's foot. It would hurt, it would hurt!
It felt like he'd suddenly discovered that his opponent was many times stronger than he'd imagined. He was so strong that he had no chance of turning the tables. He wasn't willing, but there was nothing he could do!
No matter what, even if the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin was just a misunderstanding, Ning Jing knew that Ning Cheng would feel terrible.
"Heheh, Han Yunxi, that woman … she made the right choice again." Ning Cheng smiled as he looked away into the darkness of the tent. Ning Jing couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was dark and gloomy.
Ning Cheng didn't look back at all. "Let's go back," he said simply. "I know. Wait for my news. "
Time was tight. As long as Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye made a move, he'd be in a lot of trouble and danger, whether it was sending troops or cutting off Myriad Merchant Hall's source of income.
Thus, he couldn't pin his hopes on those silver drafts anymore. He had to send the secret missive out as soon as possible and deliver it straight to Han Yunxi's hands!
"Big brother, Mu Ling 'er's taken care of my pregnancy for me," Ning Jing reminded him before she left.
Ning Cheng nodded in understanding and waved her out.
Ning Jing watched his lonely back and couldn't bear to see him leave. She stood there for a while before saying, "Big brother …"
"Get out!" Ning Cheng's voice was very cold.
Ning Jing had no choice but to leave. Bai Yuqiao stood by the door. Although she was curious as to what the siblings had been talking about for so long, she didn't dare to ask too many questions. She was afraid that Ning Cheng would be on guard against her and refuse to help her if she did.
When Ning Jing returned to the tent, Ning Cheng's lonely back appeared in her mind again and again. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Mu Ling 'er, on the other hand, slept very soundly. Mu Ling' er didn't know when she left and Mu Ling 'er still didn't know when she returned.
Ning Jing sat up. With her big belly, she couldn't sleep as comfortably as before. In private, her movements were very careful.
She looked at Mu Ling 'er's clean and pure smile and felt very envious.
Who said that Gu was heartless? This girl was the real heartless one. She could still sleep like this in such a situation.
Ning Jing couldn't sleep and finally woke Mu Ling 'er up.
Mu Ling 'er shot up from the bed. "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? "
Ning Jing, who had been sulking, suddenly laughed. "It's nothing. I can't sleep. Can you talk to me?"
Mu Ling 'er patted her chest and let out a long sigh. "You scared me to death. It's the middle of the night. Ning Jing, can you not scare me?"
"I just went to see my brother." Ning Jing recounted the incident in detail. Mu Ling 'er was stunned as she listened. "Su Xiaoyu has an older sister? Does she know? "
Ning Jing shook her head. "Wouldn't it be bad if she knew? It's better if she doesn't know. "
Mu Ling 'er nodded and muttered to herself, "That's true. If she knew that the person torturing her was her own sister, based on her personality, she would definitely not admit it!"
As Mu Ling 'er spoke, she suddenly grabbed Ning Jing's hand. "So, we're going to be saved soon? Let Bai Yuqiao send a letter to my sister! Let my sister and brother-in-law come and save us! Then I'll be able to see Qi Brother! "
"Yes, Ning Cheng will think of a way. Don't worry." As Ning Jing spoke, she thought of something. "I'll tell you a piece of good news. Do you want to hear it?"
"Hurry up and say it!" Mu Ling 'er was very excited.
However, when Ning Jing said it, Mu Ling 'er was so excited that she almost went crazy.
Ning Jing said, "On the way back, Bai Yuqiao said that Gu put a bounty on Medicine Ghost Valley and is looking for you everywhere."
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
Mu Linger shrieked. She lifted the covers and jumped barefoot onto the ground, scurrying left and right. She was just short of running out of the tent in a frenzy.
She screamed non-stop. Ning Jing covered her ears.
"What's going on? Ladies, what's wrong? "
"Say something!"
The soldiers did not dare to barge in and shouted outside the camp commander's tent.
Ning Jing had no choice but to grab Mu Ling 'er and forcefully cover her mouth. "It's nothing. Mu Ling' er just had a nightmare. It's nothing."
After saying this, Mu Ling 'er pulled Ning Jing's hand and continued …
