The guards heard the Ning Wang's command and immediately let them pass.

Wu Yong calmly entered the tent.

At this time, King Ning was still in bed. Wu Yong knelt down and said, "My subordinate, Wu Yong, disturbed Your Highness's sleep late at night. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Never mind."

King Ning got up and donned an outer robe, saying in a calm voice, "You came at this time, there must be something important. Tell me, what is it"

Although Prince Ning might have a narrow mind, his work ethic is definitely commendable. Even if he gets woken up by someone, he doesn't show any resentment.

Of course, this is assuming Wu You has important matters to attend to.

Wu Yong recalled Zhou Changshou's words, reciting them verbatim, not a single word left out.

He had rehearsed this speech countless times on his way here, so naturally he wouldn't stumble at all now.

"Fireworks"

King Ning frowned and said, "How come I didn't receive any news"

“After all, no clues have been found yet, and I dare not disturb the Prince rashly. Right now, if I personally go to investigate and come back, I can only confirm that this firework appeared in this northwest bitter cold land near a military camp. It must be a signal agreed upon with someone. After thinking about it, I still think it is necessary to report to the Prince.” Wu Yong replied.

King Ning frowned slightly and glanced at Wu Yong meaningfully.

In King Ning's view, Wu Yong... was overly eager to please.

Because he wanted to make a good impression, he overreacted to even the slightest changes.

However, this matter can be big or small. During such a sensitive period, King Ning wouldn't really neglect it.

After a moment of thought, the Prince Ning asked, "Do you think this signal might have been sent by someone inside our camp"

Wu Yong raised his head and said in a dazed manner, “This general truly doesn't know.”

"It's fine, whoever you think has the highest possibility, just say it. This king won't blame you," Ning Wang added.

Wu Yong smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "My lord, I really don't know."

Wu Yong couldn't explain himself, and King Ning didn't press him further. He calmly said, "Alright, this king knows about it. You may leave now."

"Yes."

Wu Yong got up and, bowing his head, slowly walked out of the tent.

Looking at Wu Yong leave, King Ning's suspicion deepened.

Wu Yong didn't mention anyone suspicious, which was normal in the King of Ning's eyes.

If Wu Yong had uttered Li Songru's name, it would imply that he was deliberately framing him.

That's more than just being eager.

Want to express yourself No problem.

On the contrary, it's a good thing.

If it were a deliberate frame-up, then the Prince of Ning could only resort to killing him.

But Wu Yong wasn't available.

This proves Wu Yong is fine.

Then the fireworks thing...

The King of Ning's expression darkened slightly.

This firework, no matter who sent it, doesn't matter as long as it wasn't for Li Songru.

Now, he had no clue what to do. The seed of doubt in Ning Wang's heart began to grow wildly.

"Come here."

King Ning spoke, "Bring Li Songru here."

"Yes."

Outside, the guards responded and left in a flash. In less than a cup of tea's time, Li Songru arrived.

Apparently Li Songru had already rested and was somewhat surprised to be called at this time.

"My Lord, I am here," Li Songru said, bowing respectfully.

King Ning sat down and said, "As I get older, it's hard to fall back asleep after waking up in the middle of the night. Sit down and have some tea with me."

Li Songru, upon hearing this, sat across from King Ning.

King Ning personally brewed the tea and handed a cup to Li Songru.

Li Songru rose to his feet, slightly bending over to receive it with both hands. The King of Ning smiled and said, "You have served this king for many years and are already different from others. There is no need to be so cautious."eeing the altar just within reach, his spirits lifted.
