Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

After learning about this, Sun Hu was shocked and suspicious.

It seemed as if countless mysteries were swirling in his mind, making him uneasy.

Sun Hu felt as if he was in the midst of a violent storm, and the waves in his heart were like surging waves that could not be calmed for a long time.

The surprise came from being amazed at this sudden helping hand, and the doubt came from not knowing what the purpose of this person who was helping secretly was.
At the same time, Sun Hu was full of gratitude to the person who secretly helped him.

This gratitude is like suddenly catching a glimpse of a faint but extremely warm glow in the darkness of the long night.

Although the light was faint, it illuminated Sun Hu's almost desperate heart.

It brought a little warmth to his originally cold heart.

During the time he worked under Zhao Quan, Sun Hu suffered a lot in his heart.

Every time he took part in Zhao Quan's shameful activities, it was as if countless ants were gnawing at Sun Hu's conscience, making him extremely miserable.

Sun Hu is kind and upright by nature, and has long been dissatisfied with Zhao Quan's dirty deeds.

Just for the medical expenses of his mother's serious illness and the livelihood of his family, Sun Hu could only bury this dissatisfaction deep in his heart and chose silence and forbearance.

He often sighed to the moon alone in the dead of night, his heart full of helplessness and unwillingness.

Now Wang Chengyi’s good deeds are like a warm sun in winter.

It gently but powerfully dispelled the heavy haze that shrouded Sun Hu's heart, allowing the corner that had been eroded by darkness for a long time to see the light again.

Sun Hu looked at Wang Chengyi's departing back, and a different emotion surged in his heart, which was a glimmer of hope for the future.

Sun Hu began to reflect on what he had done so far, and his loyalty to Zhao Quan began to waver in his heart.

Like a crumbling building, its foundation is gradually loosening.

Sun Hu thought of his former ideals and how his mother taught him to be an upright person when he was a child. But now he was helping the evil in order to make a living. A look of pain appeared on his face.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wang Chengyi found a quiet moment when there was no one around and explained his identity and purpose to Sun Hu.

He looked at Sun Hu with a firm gaze and said earnestly, "Brother Sun Hu, I know that you are kind-hearted, but you followed Zhao Quan out of helplessness.

But what Zhao Quan has done now not only endangers the safety of the entire palace, but will also drag you and your family into an abyss from which there is no escape.

Can you bear to see your old mother suffer because of your wrong choices?"

Sun Hu's heart was full of contradictions and struggles, and his face showed a painful and tangled look.

It was as if he was being pulled by two powerful forces and couldn't make a decision.

“Sir Wang, I also understand that Zhao Quan has acted improperly, but I… I am really afraid of his power.

If Zhao Quan knew that I betrayed him, my mother and I would have no way to survive!

My mother is still sick in bed, and I can't let her get hurt."

Sun Hu held his head in his hands, his voice trembling slightly.

Wang Chengyi saw Sun Hu's concerns and his eyes were firm but gentle.

His tone was gentle but revealed an unquestionable strength, and he slowly said: "I understand your difficulties, but if Zhao Quan is not stopped in time, the palace will be in a catastrophic disaster.

When that happens, all the eggs in the nest will be destroyed and how can you and your family stay out of trouble?

Besides, Your Highness is wise and brave. As long as we can present solid evidence, we will be able to give you and your family a stable and peaceful life.

I promise you that I will do my best to protect you and your family.

If I break my promise, I will die a miserable death."

After listening to Wang Chengyi's words, the balance in Sun Hu's heart gradually tilted.

He thought of his mother's haggard and frail face, and of his former ideals and principles. After a painful and difficult inner struggle, Sun Hu gritted his teeth.

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, as if he had made a major decision in the darkness.

"Master Wang, I believe you!

I am willing to cooperate with you and no longer be Zhao Quan's accomplice.

I once heard Zhao Quan mention a meeting place and time during a secret meeting with an envoy of a hostile force. I hope it will be helpful to you.

The location is in an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, and the time is midnight tonight."

Sun Hu clenched his fists, as if to give himself courage.

But this information is far from enough. Wang Chengyi knows that they still need more powerful evidence to completely overthrow Zhao Quan and uphold justice.

In order to obtain more conclusive evidence, Wang Chengyi decided to take the risk and follow Zhao Quan.

During those days, the sky seemed to be covered by a thick lead-gray curtain.

The dark clouds were hanging low, making it hard to breathe.

It seems to foreshadow an impending crisis, like the calm before the storm, but with hidden dangers.

After Wang Chengyi's family fell into poverty, he struggled in the mire of the city and experienced all the ups and downs of life.

However, Wang Chengyi was full of justice and determined to change his fate. By chance, he entered the palace and became an attendant.

Long-term life at the bottom of society has forged Wang Chengyi's tenacious character.

When faced with difficulties, Wang Chengyi never gives up easily, and he has also developed the ability to read people's expressions and adapt to changing circumstances.

He spent a lot of time before tracking Zhao Quan this time.

Wang Chengyi made meticulous observations and in-depth analysis of Zhao Quan's daily behavior patterns.

Just like an experienced hunter, he has a precise grasp of the habits and whereabouts of his prey.

He not only recorded Zhao Quan's daily travel time and routes, but also secretly observed his interpersonal interactions and even found out some of Zhao Quan's preferences and weaknesses.

After many days of patient surveillance, on a dark and windy night when it was pitch dark, Wang Chengyi finally discovered that Zhao Quan was stealing away from the palace and heading towards the gloomy and dilapidated abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city.

Wang Chengyi knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he carefully disguised himself as a servant who had lived in the neighborhood for many years and was familiar with the surrounding environment.

At this time, Wang Chengyi not only changed into tattered, patched coarse cloth clothes, but also deliberately smeared a thick layer of dust on his face.

He made himself look more haggard and worn, blending in with the surroundings.

In order to make himself more like a local, Wang Chengyi also learned the local accent and muttered some dialect from time to time.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain and previous observations, Wang Chengyi quietly avoided the spies and secret sentries that Zhao Quan might have set up, and followed carefully from a distance behind.

He crouched down and walked lightly, like an agile cat, always alert to the movements around him.

As we approached the abandoned temple, it looked particularly eerie in the darkness.

The broken walls and ruins whimpered in the night wind, as if countless wronged souls were telling their endless sorrow.

It also looks like an ancient ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, exuding a creepy aura that makes people shudder.

Wang Chengyi was even more alert, and cleverly used the weeds, stones and dilapidated buildings around the temple to hide himself completely.

He hid behind a huge rock, his eyes fixed on the direction of the temple, not missing any details.
