Mei Changsu and King Jing nodded in their hearts. Even though such a shocking matter only calmed down in an instant and asked the most important question, this person was indeed not an ordinary person.
"Yes, Ouyang Xun and Bai Liqi from the Great Yu Empire and the Northern Yan Empire managed to escape.”Mei Changsu picked up a cup of tea and said leisurely,"I don't know about Ouyang Xun, but Bai Liqi will secretly appear in the capital within seven days.”
"Bai Liqi?" "Appeared in Jinling within seven days?" King Jing was surprised. Why is Mr. Su so stubborn?"
"Hehe, Your Highness, do you still not understand? Bai Liqi was actually a member of the Jiangzuo Alliance.”Xiao Chu laughed.
"No wonder." King Jing nodded. "When Belic gets to Jinling, the truth will be revealed.”
" Your Majesty, you're taking it for granted. Even though Belic is a party involved in Jinling, he can't openly come out as a witness. After all, Belic is from Northern Yan. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he should have returned to Northern Yan. Therefore, Bai Liqi's matter could not be publicized yet.”" But it's not like Bai Liqi is useless in Jinling," Xiao Chu said." At least he can tell us who intercepted and killed the Northern Yan envoy."”
"Oh, I see. Who had the guts to do such a treacherous thing?”
Mei Changsu pressed the charcoal beside him with a pair of fire tongs and said lightly,"Who will benefit the most from this matter? Your Highness, who do you think will benefit from this?”
Although King Jing wasn't stupid, he really couldn't think of a way to talk about this matter after so many years. After two people flashed through his mind, King Jing shook his head. "Never thought of it. However, it didn't seem possible for the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.”
"It's naturally impossible for the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.”Xiao Chu explained," Prince Yu's current problem is the case of the Duke of Qing's invasion of land. Prince Yu is not stupid enough to use the assassination of the envoy to cover up the Duke of Qing's case. If this matter wasn't handled well, the Great Yu and Northern Yan would definitely be enraged, and it was very likely that it would directly lead to a war. The Crown Prince wanted Prince Yu to fall and not for Daliang to become a mess. I won't kill the Crown Prince either."
"In other words, the faction that committed this matter is not in the royal court?”
"Perhaps it's not someone from Daliang.”Xiao Chu smiled and said,"If the Great Yu and Northern Yan send troops to attack, who will benefit the most?" There's no need to think too much about it. It must be the strong enemy to the south of Daliang, South Chu! However, the route of the diplomatic corps of the Great Yu and Northern Yan was a top secret. Without the help of the high-ranking officials in the court, how could the bad guys know the whereabouts of the diplomatic corps? The two emissaries were protected by 300 elite soldiers of the two countries, and they could kill all 300 elite soldiers and emissaries in a short period of time.。。This wasn't something an ordinary force could do.”
"Someone in the court colluded with South Chu?" King Jing raised his sword-like eyebrows and stood up. "Who is so bold?"
"Your Highness, please calm down. This is just my guess. Whether or not someone is colluding remains to be investigated.”Xiao Chu poured some tea for King Jing. "Come, Your Highness, have a cup of tea."
After a round of discussion, Xiao Chu still couldn't come up with any clues. He walked out of the teahouse and looked at the sky that was already covered with dark clouds.
"The weather is about to change."
The end of September in the fifth year of Yuanyou was an eventful autumn. (I won't change the first part. Panda has been changing the time for the past few days and found that it's smoother. From now on, I won't change it.)）
Because of Duke Qing's identity, the Ministry of Justice did not dare to make a move even if they had the gold medal. In addition, the assassination of the envoy group had attracted too many eyeballs, so the Qing Duke case was temporarily put on hold. However, the Qing Duke could only be imprisoned in the manor and could not go out. The entire imperial court was working on the assassination case.
However, while some people were busy, others were bored.
Xiao Chu, for example, had been counting the time on his fingers since Xia Dong visited Mei Changsu at the Xie Manor's snow hut two days ago.
It was already the seventh day, right?
It was still the same teahouse. Xiao Chu entered the room where they had tea last time and said to Mei Changsu,""Brother Su, it's better to buy a house this morning. It's not a good idea to stay in the Xie residence.”
Mei Changsu smiled faintly and handed over a cup of tea. "Let's wait and see. I'm not in a hurry now.”
Xiao Chu took the teacup and downed it in one gulp. Bai Liqi had already arrived and was standing respectfully behind Mei Changsu. Although he had been busy with the journey for the past seven days, he was still in good spirits.
"Mr. Xiao." Bai Liqi bowed respectfully to Xiao Chu. Although his every move was full of the aura of a martial artist, his etiquette was on point. It was clear that Mei Changsu had taught him well.
Just as she was about to say something like " I've heard a lot about you ", she saw King Jing walk in from outside the door.
"Your Highness." Xiao Chu and Mei Changsu bowed.
"There's no need for the three of us to be so polite in the future.”Although King Jing was too straightforward, he still knew how to win people's hearts. King Jing had seen Bai Liqi in the Heroic Martial Hall before and had left a deep impression on him. Furthermore, Bai Liqi was the main character today. King Jing saw Bai Liqi at first glance. "This must be Bai Liqi?"
"This commoner Bai Liqi greets Your Highness King Jing.”
"No need for formalities." "Were you present when Bai Liqi's Northern Yan envoy was intercepted and killed?" King Jing asked anxiously.”
"Yes, I was there."
"It can be seen..."
"Cough cough, Your Highness, don't be anxious. Sit down and talk." Xiao Chu cupped his hands.
King Jing also knew that there was no need to rush. He nodded and sat cross-legged on the cushion. Seeing King Jing sit down, Xiao Chu also sat down cross-legged. Belic was not so relaxed. He knelt on the soft cushion in fear.
"Tell His Highness King Jing the truth about what happened that night. Don't leave out a single detail.”
Mei Changsu's eyes were fixed on Xiao Chu as he spoke. Mei Changsu's meaning was that since he had handed over his men, should he hand over his men as well? Unfortunately, Xiao Chuguang was smart, and his ability to play dumb was rare in the world. Xiao Chu sat cross-legged on the soft cushion with his hands resting naturally on his knees. He did not even look at Mei Changsu. He only looked at Bai Liqi with a smile.
" That night, the Northern Yan envoy group passed by Yuzhou under the protection of three hundred elite soldiers. They wanted to spend the night in Yuzhou, but when they first entered Yuzhou, they found a stone bridge that they had to pass through collapsed and had to take a detour. In the end, they didn't reach Yuzhou by nightfall, so they had to set up camp in the wild and have dinner.。。“
"Wait, is there anything wrong with Baili Qi's dinner?”King Jing asked.
