Amidst the ink-black depths of night, Liu Ye'er entered the trial dimension without a sound. Meanwhile, outside the military camp in the Tang Era, amidst profound silence, a strange man hurried over, shattering the stillness. He anxiously said to the guards, "I have an urgent matter of the utmost importance and must see the General." Upon receiving the report, Li Sheng immediately ordered that the man be brought in.
The stranger cupped his fists in a respectful salute, his expression grave, and said in a deep voice to Li Sheng, "General, someone is plotting against you." Li Sheng furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze piercing as he carefully scrutinized the uninvited visitor. In these turbulent times, people's hearts were as fickle as flickering candlelight, impossible to fathom, and he was not a man to trust others lightly.
The stranger continued his revelation, "Niu Delu, the beloved grandson of Imperial Censor Niu Delu in the Capital, met with misfortune within your jurisdiction. Harboring resentment yet finding himself powerless against you, Niu Delu cunningly devised a malicious plot to spread false rumors about you in the Capital. They claim you are the Emperor's long-lost son, attempting thereby to provoke the Emperor's suspicion. I fear that before long, you will be summoned back to the Capital, and by then, you will face grave peril."
