Chapter 681 The Truth
Xuguzi rubbed his hands and replied, "It is indeed someone coming from the residence of Wu Youde, Prince of Nanping."
Li Cunxi scratched his head, unable to understand why someone from the Prince of Nanping's Mansion would come to see him.
Logically speaking, no matter what his purpose was, Prince of Nanping Wu Youde should not have come to him, the leader of a hostile faction.
"has a problem."
Li Cunxi shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuguzi, come in!"
"If I don't go in, I'm afraid you'll scold me."
Xuguzi also shouted at the top of his lungs.
He knew too well Li Cunxi's bad temper when he woke up, and the only person in the entire Li Mansion who could prevent Li Cunxi from getting grouchy when he woke up was Ma Rong.
Now that Ma Rong is not around, he doesn't want to get into trouble.
Li Cunxi turned over and put on his clothes randomly, then rushed out of the house and pointed at Xuguzi who didn't have time to escape.
"what did you just say?!"
"Well, Patriarch, calm down. We should go meet the person sent by Wu Youde first."
"Forget it, I'm awake now, let's go."
Xuguzi helped Li Cunxi to tidy up and sort out his clothes, then followed Li Cunxi to the main hall.
The servants from the Prince of Nanping's mansion, who had been waiting for a long time, knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Cunxi:
"I have met His Highness King Qin."
Li Cunxi waved his hand, came to sit in the main seat, and said lightly:
"I don't want to ask who you are, just tell me, what did the Prince of Nanping ask you to do?"
Seeing that Li Cunxi was so direct, the servant naturally did not want to waste time and delay Wu Youde's good deeds, so he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xuguzi.
Xuguzi held the letter, opened it in front of the servants, read it first, and then handed it to Li Cunxi.
“It’s a very interesting thing.”
After reading it, Li Cunxi commented calmly.
His eyes moved away from the letter and moved to the servant.
"Tell me, what does Wu Youde mean?"
The servant didn't even know the specific contents of the letter, so how could he know what Wu Youde meant? He kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I know nothing. I am just a servant who was sent to deliver a letter to you. I really don't know anything."
Li Cunxi touched his chin and returned his gaze to the letter.
He felt that what the servant said was correct. He was just a servant who delivered letters. What could he know?
"Go stand outside. I'll see you when I've made up my mind."
The servant stood up tremblingly and replied, "Yes, Your Highness Prince Qin."
Xuguzi led him out of the main hall and returned alone shortly afterwards.
"Logically speaking, this kind of news is of great importance. Once it is leaked and verified, Shahr Khan and his entire family will be executed, and the informant will be rewarded with a great achievement."
"At this time when the two factions are fighting, it would be fine if he didn't report Shaerhan himself, but he must first inform Wu Sansi and the others of the news, so that they can do a great deed and overshadow me."
"How could you possibly tell me first and ask me what I should do?"
Li Cunxi had a blank expression on his face and picked up the teacup.
He didn't expect that the gold and silver case would pop up in the winter of 693.
You know, according to the timeline, this case happened in 699. In that year, Di Renjie was exhausted after solving the gold and silver case and the murder trap case, and died in bed the following year.
This case happened a full 6 years earlier.
And the choice was given to him.
"As far as I know, Nanping County Prince Wu Youde is a real fence-sitter."
"Although this matter cannot be believed in its entirety, it is not necessarily impossible to believe part of it."
Xuguzi stood in the hall and expressed his own thoughts.
He had just read the letter and knew that Prince Helu from the Turkic side had joined forces with Shah Khan to create something big, and this big event required the help of a traitor.
After discussion between Prince Helu and Shah Khan, the only candidate for the final traitor, Prince of Nanping Wu Youde, appeared.
This has led to the current embarrassing situation.
"According to what you mean, this guy wants to build another bridge from me?"
"For future escape?"
Li Cunxi said thoughtfully something that even he himself did not believe.
He and Wu Youde have been at odds with each other for so long, how could it be resolved by such a trivial matter?
"It's not impossible." Xuguzi said.
"Then go tell one of his servants to tell him that I don't have any idea and let Wu Youde make his own decision. After he makes a decision, if it is in my favor, tell me what his decision is."
"If this decision is not in my favor... then we will hold a big court meeting tomorrow and pretend we know nothing."
Li Cunxi leaned back and signaled Xuguzi to pass on the message quickly.
Xuguzi nodded and walked out.
Soon, the servants of the Prince of Nanping's Mansion left the Prince of Qin's Mansion and went back to report the news.
In this not-so-peaceful night, in Hanguang Temple, Wu Zetian looked at Yuan Tiangang deeply and asked:
"In other words, the mystery of the Luo River's mysteries is actually caused by celestial phenomena causing the river water to backflow?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded silently, as if to admit it.
But the next thing that came out of his mouth was a puzzling sentence.
"Your Majesty, do you believe it?"
Wu Zetian's suspicious character was immediately revealed.
Does she believe it?
How could she possibly believe it!
If the mystery of the Luo River's magic is just that simple, then why did Yuan Tiangang stay in jail for so many years keeping this secret?
It's impossible that someone would be willing to spend ten years in jail for a secret that couldn't be more ordinary.
Isn't this just a huge idiot?
Wu Zetian glared at Yuan Tiangang and clenched her fists:
"I think you haven't had enough of the whip."
"You haven't tried the many tortures of the Inner Guards yet. Most of them were invented by your good student Xiao Qingfang. Do you want to try them?"
Yuan Tiangang remained silent and just kept his head down.
"Hmph, a stone roller can't produce a single drop of shit. You'd better tell the truth, or you'll never be able to leave this prison."
Wu Zetian angrily turned away and left.
Several internal guards returned to their posts and kept monitoring Yuan Tiangang's every move.
After a long while, Yuan Tiangang returned to his chair and sat down, continuing his calculations and drawing blueprints.
Several internal guards were already accustomed to this scene, but they had a strange feeling when they watched it again today. They always felt that today's Yuan Tiangang was different from the Yuan Tiangang in the past.
The difference was not in appearance, but an indescribable feeling. They could not describe Yuan Tiangang who was different from usual at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Tiangang turned his back to the others, opened his eyes, and started pinching himself with his fingers.
After pinching for a full half hour, he finally exhaled a breath of foul air, opened his cloudy eyes, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"It's done, it's done!"
"I finally figured out the exact time. I finally figured it out!"
