With the relationship between Li Ling and Sun Bi, he naturally didn't have to be as cautious as other officials. He respected him so much that he didn't even deliberately thank him. At this time, he asked curiously: "Your Highness, why did you come to save me at this time?"

When he asked, Wei Tianying beside him immediately raised his ears. He also wanted to know why King Ying came to the Imperial City Office in the middle of the night and ruined his good deeds. Sun Bi glanced at him first, then smiled and said, "It's thanks to you having a good wife."

"Qingxiao?" Li Ling also showed a gentle smile on his face when he heard this, "It was her letter she reported to His Highness that I was locked up in the Imperial City Department?"

"Yes, then I happened to know that Lu Zhen was not in the capital recently, so I was worried that you would suffer a loss here, so I asked Chengzhi and I to come and have a look."

His words made Xiao Chengzhi blush. As he participated in Li Ling's entire incident, he really didn't expect any danger to Li Ling in the Imperial City Department. He didn't even spread the news to Sun Bi in time. He had to rely on someone to contact him on his own initiative to know that something was wrong and hurriedly joined.

Seeing this, Li Ling smiled at Xiao Chengzhi and comforted him: "I didn't expect there would be any danger in the Imperial City Division... But it's a blessing for you."

"Haha, it's just a little effort. But maybe my brother and sister would blame me for being in the mansion at this time. After all, her intention was obviously to let me go to the mansion tonight and discuss with others how to save you, but I failed to go, which made her misunderstand."

Li Ling smiled with her: "Your Highness is so serious, how could Qingxiao be so unreasonable?"

"That's not sure. My younger brother and sister are the heroes of the female characters who don't let the bearded men. I'm a little afraid of her." Sun Bi joked, which made the other two laugh, but made Wei Tianying feel a little uncomfortable and restless.

But soon, the eyes of the people who were chatting and laughing fell on him again. Sun Bi said in a stern tone: "Mr. Wei, there is something that I can't understand. Why do you treat Wen Zhong like this? If I hadn't waited for it, it seemed that you were planning to torture him? Who told you to do this? Tell me."

Wei Tianying was even more cold when he was stared at by the three of them. Although Wei Sicheng was in the Imperial City and in the Luoyang officialdom, the three people he faced today were obviously not easily provoked by him. Especially Sun Bi and Xiao Chengzhi, both of whom were more than one level higher than him in terms of status and power, even if he killed him now, he would be criticized.

Under such pressure, he could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up and replied, "Your Highness, Lord Li, this... is a misunderstanding. The officials did all this to handle the court and beat all the evil people of Luotian Sect. The officials' loyalty to the court and His Majesty is clear. If Lord Li is really a loyal minister of my Great Yue and has nothing to do with the Luotian Sect, I will not really hurt him."

Wei Tianying pulled the emperor out and protected him, which made Sun Bi really difficult to have an attack. He immediately snorted: "You know whether you are willing to frame him or not. But there is a saying that I want to tell you, if you can provoke some people, and if you provoke some people, the end of the matter is to save your future and life. I am not even afraid of the prince, let alone you, a small imperial city chief."

"Yes, the lower officials will be taught. In the future, the lower officials will be cautious in their words and actions and dare not make mistakes." Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to pursue the matter, Wei Tianying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly surrendered. For him, face and other things are not important to his life.

Li Ling looked at Wei Tianying deeply again, and did not say anything to him. Instead, he frowned and said, "Your Highness, if you break into the Imperial City Division like this, I will eventually spread it, and it will cause you a lot of trouble."

"Just just listen to a few words, it's nothing." Sun Bi said disapprovingly. At this time, he was much more confident and free than when he was first named King of England. Obviously, after more than a year of management, he has truly established himself in the court and has his own team.

Of course, this does not mean that he is really not afraid of anything. At this time, he looked at Li Ling again and said, "Wen Zhong, honestly tell me, are you related to the Luotian Sect?"

"Yes!" Li Ling's answer made everyone present change color at the same time. Wei Tianying, who had just sat back, was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the chair. He couldn't help but scream: "You..."

"I am their biggest opponent and enemy, and they are thorns in their eyes." Li Ling's breathless addition made Sun Bi and Xiao Chengzhi, who were already facing a great enemy, froze. After a while, the two smiled bitterly: "You, you dare to joke in this matter. I really don't know if you are bold or crazy..."

"Haha, isn't this enemy a kind of relationship? But it is impossible to say that I will collude with the Luotian Sect. From the beginning, I have been irreconcilable with them. After that, whether in the southwest or Jiangnan, including this time in Huguang, I have fought with them. There are not a thousand or eight hundred Luotian Sects who died at my hands, or even more. I dare to say that if the people in this world who the Luotian Sect wants to get rid of the most, I, Li Ling, ranked second, and no one can be ranked first.

"What's ridiculous is that there are some people who insisted that Li Tong and I were father-son relationships, so they had to determine what shameful relationship I had with the Luo Tian Sect. To be honest, Li Tong was hidden very deeply, and I dug up all of them. If it weren't for this, maybe Huguang would have been in chaos.

"Just because he is my father, I have to surrender to the Luotian Sect regardless of the laws of heaven and law? That is simply absurd! My Dayue regards loyalty and filial piety as the basis for establishing a country. As a minister, I naturally have to put the word loyalty before the word filial piety. That is why I killed my relatives for justice and captured Li Tong to the capital.

"Your Highness, I can swear to the heaven that those memorials that slander me are all false. I, Li Ling, may have made some mistakes in other matters, but I have no other thoughts on the Luotian Cult. I just want to uproot this evil religion that harms the country and the people, and not leave any one behind!"

"Okay!" Xiao Chengzhi was the first to react. He shouted loudly and said, "Your Highness, I can completely trust Wen Zhong. Not to mention his contributions in the southwest, this time in Huguang, I have seen with my own eyes how he dealt with those Luotian traitors. I can't guarantee that others can definitely trust him!"

Sun Bi smiled, and his whole body looked more relaxed than before: "Of course I can trust you too. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you this time. At worst, I will fight with those hypocritical guys in the court!"

Li Ling felt warm in his heart. It felt so good to be trusted by his friends and brothers like this.

At this moment, he didn't care about Wei Tianying being by his side, and said, "Your Highness, it's second to argue with people in the court. The most important thing is to make Your Majesty believe that I will not conspire with Luo Tian Sect."

"This... is a bit difficult, right?" Xiao Chengzhi frowned. He had personally experienced the emperor's case of taking down Li Ling and felt the emperor's suspicion up close. After all, Li Tong was Li Ling's biological father, and he could not change it no matter how he was. It was the biggest hurdle.

Sun Bi nodded in agreement. What he could think of was to attract more people to protect Li Ling as innocent through arguments in the court. In this way, when his side's strength is strong and his momentum is strong enough, the father will naturally make compromises in order to stabilize the court.

As for what the father thought in the end, he was not able to control him. But Li Ling actually planned to excuse himself from the fundamental point, which was several times more difficult than defying the impeachment officials.

Li Ling smiled, and glanced at Wei Tianying without a trace, then said, "This is the purpose of my willingness to come to the Imperial City Department. Some things are naturally not verified by ordinary people, but with the eyes and ears of the spies placed in various parts of the world, I believe that the hidden truth will still be found. Of course, you need to use the help of Lord Lu and others to do this. I just didn't expect that he happened to leave if he had something to do."

"This is easy to deal with. I think Lu Zhen and the others will receive the news soon and rush back. Then let him work." Sun Bi said, and also looked at Wei Tianying next to him, who was looking at the nose and nose. He was a little surprised, why did Li Ling reveal his intentions in front of this guy.

It is obvious that Wei Tianying must have an instructor behind him, that is Li Ling, or even his own enemy. Taking Li Ling will not only cut off his arm, but also be able to use the situation to throw all the dirty water mistakes on him.

Judging from the current situation in the court, the only answer is the crown prince. The crown prince still needs to instruct Wei Tianying to take the risk of attacking Li Ling. Now that he said in person, wouldn’t the crown prince know what his family is going to do next?

However, Sun Bi didn't really say this doubt, but only kept it in his heart. Then he randomly changed the topic and asked about the twists and turns that Li Ling had experienced in Huguang.

This time, not only Li Ling could say it, but even Xiao Chengzhi became very interested. He smiled and told the two of them about their adventures in Huguang. Sun Bi nodded and praised him, saying that he also wanted to take risks with them to defeat the thief and make contributions to the court.

Time passed slowly during the chat of the three of them. Soon, the night passed completely and the sky was bright.

Then five or six subordinates of the Imperial City Division rushed over. After seeing Li Ling safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief. These people were all close subordinates of Lu Zhen. Because of Wei Tianying's arrangement, they were not in the yamen last night. It was not until midnight that they learned that Li Ling was locked up in the Imperial City Division.

However, except for princes like the King of England who are qualified to enter and exit at night, no one else could come in at all. They waited anxiously until dawn before they came hurriedly.

As these people arrived, Li Ling was completely safe in the Imperial City Department. Sun Bi and Xiao Chengzhi stayed with each other all night, and then they stopped staying for a long time and stood up to say goodbye.
