Chapter 459 The truth gradually emerges (Please like it in the book review section!)
Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu were both very happy to see Xiao Yu, who was using the alias Shi Lan.
However, their happiness was different. Jing Tianming was simply happy to see a good friend, while Xiang Shaoyu focused all his attention on Shi Lan, as if Shi Lan was the only one he could see.
"Little brother, why are you imitating me?"
Before Shi Lan could respond, Xiang Shaoyu realized that Jing Tianming had said the same thing as him and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Jing Tianming retorted: "You are the younger brother, it is you who is obviously imitating me!"
"You learn from me!"
"You learn from me!"
The two little friends were arguing about who imitated whom. They glared at each other, their faces flushed, and they looked like they were about to have a big fight.
"Shi Lan, come in first."
Seeing Xiang Shaoyu and Jing Tianming acting like fighting cocks, the others felt helpless and simply ignored them. Anyway, they would calm down soon. The Snow Girl's eyes fell on Shi Lan and she welcomed Shi Lan in.
"Humph!"
Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu stared at each other for a moment. They seemed to realize that it was a bit embarrassing. They snorted in annoyance and turned away from Xiang Shaoyu.
"Brother, if I talk to you again, I'll be a bastard!"
"Humph!" Xiang Shaoyu was no less fierce and also threatened Jing Tianming, "If I talk to you again, I'll be a bastard."
"Shi Lan, you just said that Fusu and Tianxuanzi attacked Luowang because they were assassinated by Luowang?"
After Shi Lan was welcomed in, everyone took their seats.
As soon as they sat down, without even having time to pour a cup of tea, Cook Ding opened his eyes wide and asked about Shi Lan.
Shi Lan nodded lightly: "A few days ago, the eldest son and Wushuang Jun were assassinated in Haiyue Cottage. You must know about this, right?"
Dao Zhi said casually: "Of course we know about this matter."
A gleam of light flashed across Wei Zhuang's eyes, "Could it be that the real culprit of the assassination was Luo Wang?"
"That's right." Shi Lan told everything she knew, "According to the information I got from following Lord Wushuang, Lord Wushuang and the eldest son have signed a gentleman's agreement. The fight for the crown prince position will only take place between them. The leader of Luowang: Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Chariot House, is the teacher of the eighteenth son Hu Hai, and wants to help Hu Hai become the crown prince."
"The purpose of this assassination was to intensify the conflict between the eldest son and Lord Wushuang, but they saw through it. Therefore, the eldest son and Lord Wushuang joined forces to uproot the Luowang forces in Qi County, Langya County, and Dong County to give Zhao Gao a warning."
"The Luowang forces in Qi County, Langya County, and Dong County?" Gao Jianli couldn't help but smack his lips when he learned that the target of Tianxuan and Fusu's action was the forces of Luowang in three counties. "What a big deal!"
"Oh, right," Shi Lan remembered something, "The eldest son said that he would arrange for someone to petition the First Emperor to make Madam Mingzhu, the mother of the Eighteenth Son Hu Hai, the empress!"
"Appoint Madam Mingzhu as the queen?"
When Shi Lan said this, most of the people present were stunned.
It was a well-known fact that the First Emperor Ying Zheng had never appointed a queen. Lady Mingzhu was Hu Hai's biological mother. If she was appointed as queen, then the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai would be the legitimate eldest son, enough to overwhelm the meritorious Fourth Prince Tianxuan and the well-known eldest Prince Fusu. "Is Fusu crazy?" the Snow Girl taunted.
"What a good move of retreating to advance." Fan Zeng, the chief strategist of the Xiang clan, easily understood the reason why Fusu made such an arrangement and said in an astonished tone.
Gai Nie said, "Based on my understanding of His Majesty, he will never appoint a queen. Madam Mingzhu is favored, but in his heart, she is just a plaything. Once this memorial is submitted, Madam Mingzhu can prepare her coffin."
No one present doubted Gai Nie's understanding of Zheng Ge. After listening to Gai Nie's analysis, they learned that Fusu actually wanted to use Zheng Ge's hand to eliminate Madam Mingzhu, and now Fusu and Tian Xuan have joined forces to eliminate the Luowang forces in Qi County, Langya County, and Dong County. Everyone felt the fierce battle for the position of the crown prince of the empire, and they felt quite chilled.
"By the way, Sister Snow Girl, you have to be careful." Shi Lan recalled what she overheard last night, and turned her head to look at Snow Girl, who was as dazzling as a pearl even in the dim environment. "Last night, I overheard the secret conversation between Wushuang Jun and Yue Shen. Wushuang Jun wants to arrest you."
"Catch me?"
Shi Lan's words reminded Xue Nu of the time when Tian Xuan showed mercy to her men during their previous confrontation, and she smiled contemptuously.
"What is Wushuang Jun? He is still a man after all, and a lustful man at that!"
"Humph!"
When Gao Jianli heard this, a fire of ignorance ignited in his heart. He snorted angrily, and murderous intent was revealed between his brows.
"Sister Snow Girl, I suspect that Wushuang Jun wants to capture you, not because he covets your beauty, or to be more precise, not simply because he covets your beauty." Shi Lan bit her cherry lips lightly with her snow-white teeth and expressed her guess, "Because Wushuang Jun said that as long as he captures you, no one in the world can kill him holding the Hongming Sword, unless Chi You is reborn or the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady reappears in the world."
"what?"
When Shi Lan said this, Wei Zhuang, who had been calm and composed, suddenly changed color and cried out in surprise.
With a cry of surprise, Wei Zhuang turned into a streak of light and appeared in front of Shi Lan. His eyes shone with sharp light and fell on Shi Lan's face. He said in a deep voice: "Shi Lan, are you sure that Tian Xuanzi really said that?"
Facing the heavy aura coming from Wei Zhuang, Shi Lanfang's heart trembled, "Master Wei Zhuang, Wushuang Jun did say so. Yue Shen also said that the only chance to kill Wushuang Jun was actually the day he first arrived in Linzi City. Unfortunately, the assassination that night was just a test!"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
In front of Wei Zhuang, who was about to show his vicious side, Shi Lan told him everything she knew.
"Snow Girl, Opportunity, No One Can Kill Me..."
These terms churned in the minds of Xue Nu, Gao Jianli, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, Fan Zeng and others, like flashes of inspiration. When they were connected together, they could find the most crucial thing. As a result, the atmosphere in the already crowded room became even heavier due to too many people squeezing in at once, making the two children, Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu, feel like they were about to be suffocated to death.
"When was the day when Tian Xuanzi came to Linzi?"
After an unknown amount of time, Fan Zeng spoke to break the stalemate, seemingly asking himself, but also someone else.
"The fifteenth of this month!" Gao Jianli spat out these four words with a dark face.
"Xiao Zhuang, you have also fought with Tian Xuanzi, what do you think of his internal strength?" Gai Nie turned his head and looked at Wei Zhuang, his sword eyes shining with light, just wanting affirmation.
Wei Zhuang's eyes were filled with the same dazzling light as Gai Nie's. "It is strong and domineering. Although it is slightly inferior in quantity, its quality is better than our Guigu internal strength. It just contains a bit of femininity, achieving the image of Shaoyin."
Gai Nie agreed and said, "The hidden femininity in him should be caused by the Tianzong technique, which makes up for the fact that his fundamental technique is very strong and can be easily broken!"
