In an extremely luxurious mansion near the prefect's mansion.
In the front hall, above the main hall, an extraordinarily handsome youth in embroidered clothes and jade belts sat leisurely.
His youthful face revealed an indescribable nobility.
Below, a group of people stood solemnly.
Among them was the commandant of the Northern City's Zhechong Manor, Xu Jingda.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, in my opinion, that Chen Ling might really not know where Emperor Yang's treasure is. If he knew, this information would have long been dug out by various forces.”
Xu Jingda said respectfully to the youth above.
The youth above him was the Third Prince of the Great Tang, the King of Wu Li Ke, who Li Shimin had praised as a 'heroic person'.
As the grandson of the former emperor Yang Guang, Li Ke should not interfere in the treasure digging. However, Li Ke had respected and loved his father Li Shimin since he was a child. From the beginning, he believed that the Li family and the Yang family were in-laws. Even if he took the treasure left by his grandfather, it was not considered treasonous.
Moreover, Li Ke was eager to find the treasure of Emperor Yang so that he could obtain the reward from his father, Li Shimin.
Above the hall, Li Ke's eyes flashed with wisdom as he analyzed," There are two possibilities. The first is that Chen Ling really doesn't know where the treasure is. The second is that Chen Ling knows part of the information about the treasure, but he doesn't know all of it. Therefore, as long as he divulges any information related to the treasure, his disaster will come endlessly. He knows this, so he won't say anything.”
"Your Highness is wise!"
The group of Li Ke's trusted aides below were flattering him.
"Your Highness, in your opinion, does Chen Leng belong to the first or the second type?”
Xu Jingda asked.
Li Ke smiled confidently and did not answer. Instead, he asked everyone,""In your opinion, with Chen Ling's character, would he really be so righteous as to help Emperor Yang collect his corpse and coffin? The person he faced back then was not my Imperial Father, but Yuwen Huaji!”
Speaking of his grandfather Yang Guang, Li Ke's heart did not have the slightest fluctuation.
Ever since he was a child, he had understood that having the bloodline of two dynasties wasn't his advantage. If he wanted to survive in the treacherous battle of the royal family, he had to forget about the other half of his bloodline and be loyal to Li Shiming's son!
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand what he meant, Li Ke reminded them,"
"Who is Yuwen Huaji? Wolves, wolves, tigers, and leopards! How could he allow Chen Leng to have second thoughts? Didn't Chen Ling have other motives for taking such a risk?”
Everyone pondered for a moment and looked enlightened.
" Your Highness, you mean-"
Li Ke smiled and said nothing.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?”
Everyone asked.
Li Ke closed his eyes and muttered," This Prince likes to take the initiative from being passive. Therefore, this Prince wants to set up a trap and make the Prefecture become the target of public criticism. This will make Chen Leng spit out the secret from back then."”
"Hahaha, Your Highness's move of driving the tiger and chasing the wolf is wonderful. In this way, the situation in Yangzhou is under Your Highness 'control!”
Everyone cupped their hands and praised.
"Your Highness, are you going to attack the prefect's manor?" Xu Jingda asked. But…"
"But what?"
Li Ke opened his eyes.
"It's just that the people of the Duke of Wei have recently come to the prefect's manor. I'm afraid that those people will affect Your Highness 'deployment," Xu Jingda said.”
"Duke Wei?"
Li Ke furrowed his brows and a trace of arrogance appeared in his eyes.
"Even if Duke Wei had the intention to interfere, his people have just arrived in Yangzhou. How can they compare to our long-term deployment? Ignore them, just treat them as a group of people watching a show.”
Xu Jingda nodded." Whatever Your Highness wants me to do, just tell me. I'll die for you!"”
" Alright, this king wants you-"
Just as Li Ke was about to reveal his plan with a smile on his face, there was a sudden swoosh in the air. A throwing knife shot over from the door at lightning speed.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Duh!
The flying knife hit a pillar and shook.
Xu Jingda was about to pounce, but after making sure that the person had no intention of hurting him, he quickly walked over. He took a look and pulled out the flying knife. Then, he frowned and took off a paper bag from the flying knife and handed it to Li Ke.
"Your Highness, look."
The people in the hall were all Li Ke's trusted aides. Xu Jingda had already checked the paper bag and found that it was not poisonous.
Li Ke opened it with relief. After reading what was written on the paper, his expression changed drastically.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The people below craned their necks, not understanding what was going on.
Li Ke called over a few of his more experienced confidants and handed them the note.
Other than a line of words, there was also some green powder on the paper.
"Dark Iron Bronze!"
"And it's black iron bronze!”
As everyone knew, dark iron was an extremely rare metal material that could only be found in meteorites. Most of the meteorites recorded in history were collected by the imperial court.
Dark iron bronze was the rust powder produced by the long period of corrosion of dark iron.
Now, there was this dark iron bronze and a line of words on the paper: The prefect's mansion, Purple Garden Lake.
If everyone still did not understand what was going on, they would be fools.
Li Ke had stayed in Yangzhou for a few months, and this was the first time he received information about Emperor Yang's treasure. He immediately stood up excitedly and laughed loudly.
"It's really easy to find it!”
"Commandant Xu, immediately mobilize 2,000 soldiers and surround the prefect's manor. This king wants him to be unable to let even a fly fly out!”
"The rest of you, immediately follow this king to the prefect's manor!”
(Cute brother, take your time. Let's open up a different, magnificent world of the Great Tang together ~)
