Longtai bluntly said that Li Hongxin of the Prince of Shu had an informant arranged by the court. Zhuo Qianyi was quite surprised. Although Qi Ning did not react, he was secretly surprised, thinking that the little emperor looked more complicated than he thought. Much.
This is a confidential matter, and logically it would never be disclosed to the outside world easily, but at this moment Longtai did not shy away from it and told the truth frankly, which surprised Zhu Qianyi.
"Li Hongxin was unwilling to join me when he joined Da Chu. How could the court not know about it?" Longtai said lightly: "Of course the court will not take this kind of people lightly. Even if chaos really breaks out in Xichuan, I will certainly not let Li Hongxin take advantage of him." The opportunity for chaos... Moreover, Li Hongxin is a smart man. He will not fail to understand that whenever there is any trouble in Xichuan, he is the first person the court will keep an eye on, so he will never instigate such a big disturbance and cause the court to Notice."
Swing Yi pondered for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, if the other party really wants to come to the Miao Family's Seventy-Two Holes, what's the reason? The Miao Family's Seventy-Two Holes are distributed all over Xichuan, and there are always grudges and grudges between them, even if If any of the Miao caves really offended the other party, why would he attack the 72 Miao caves?"
Qi Ning also nodded slightly, feeling that although what Long Tai said was shocking, it was still a bit unbelievable, and said: "If any hole offends the opponent, with the cunning and strength they have shown, it is enough to deal with any hole alone. You have achieved success, but why do you want to cause such an uproar and make the Miao family's 72nd hole an enemy? Are those people crazy?"
"Maybe he is really crazy, we don't know." Longtai smiled faintly, and then continued: "The clues and clues that have been revealed so far, the imperial court is just a tool they use, and their purpose is to build the Miao family's seventy-two caves. He died. If so, if you follow this clue and investigate, you may be able to find some clues."
Zhu Qianyi said: "The emperor just said that Lu Shanghe was involved. Could it be that this was all planned by Lu Shanghe?"
"Of course the little owner of Zhongyi Manor cannot have such strength." Long Tai said: "Duan Qingchen is one of the four holy envoys of your Black Lotus Sect. He dares to betray the Black Lotus Sect, of course he believes that there are people who can guarantee his safety. Do you think Lu Shanghe has such strength?"
Zhu Qianyi frowned and said, "Is there someone else behind Lu Shanghe?"
In fact, this question no longer needs to be answered.
Qi Ning's expression was solemn. Many clues in Xichuan led Qi Ning to judge that the backer behind Lu Shanghe was probably Ximen Wuhen, and this suspicion was growing day by day. The more he thought about it, the greater the possibility.
But what Longtai said today caused Qining's judgment to collapse instantly.
If the other party even plotted against Ximen Wuhen, then of course Ximen Wuhen could not be the backer behind Lu Shanghe. The real culprit behind the rebellion of the Beggar Gang naturally had nothing to do with Ximen Wuhen.
He suddenly understood that the conspiracy designed by the other party involved many forces, but each force saw benefits in it and took advantage of it.
If there is someone else behind Lu Shanghe, then the White Tiger Rebellion was obviously not planned by Ximen Wuhen. However, the Shenhou Mansion found a favorable opportunity and took advantage of it, and even helped the easy-to-control White Tiger ascend to the position of gang leader, and Is all this based on the prediction of the mastermind behind the scenes
If this is really the case, that force is too terrifying. Who in the world can control the Shenhou Mansion
Longtai stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the screen in the room, looked at the screen, and said slowly: "I don't want to see the turmoil in Xichuan bring trouble to the court, so the real culprit behind the scenes must be found out."
"Your Majesty, if Lu Shanghe knows everything about this, why don't you capture him?" Zhu Qianyi looked at Longtai: "Lu Shanghe, in the eyes of the court, is undoubtedly an ant, why do you stand still? Once Lu Shanghe is captured, in the Shenhou Mansion, In Jiuzhong Tianxia, everything that needs to be explained should be forced out."
Longtai smiled and said: "The court's target is not Lu Shanghe, but the people behind him. Once the people of the court touch Lu Shanghe, they will immediately alert the snake. Those people are well hidden. Once the court touches the enemy, they will be found out." It's even more difficult." He turned around, looked at Zhu Qianyi, and said, "That's why I need you to keep an eye on Lu Shanghe."
Zhuo Qianyi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, Long Tai had already said: "Duan Qingchen defected to Lu Shanghe and became the life and death enemy of the Black Lotus Sect. Under such circumstances, as the poisonous envoy of the Black Lotus Sect, you are targeting Lu Shanghe, even if they are aware of it. , they will only think that you have found out the whereabouts of Duan Qingchen, and the purpose is to find Duan Qingchen from them, so that they will not have too deep worries."
Zhuo Qianyi said: "Your Majesty wants me to investigate Lu Shanghe and find out the real mastermind behind Lu Shanghe?"
"This is also for your Black Lotus Sect." Long Tai said: "Duan Qingchen and your Black Lotus Sect have been fighting for life and death. If the Black Lotus Sect is not destroyed, Duan Qingchen will not give up and will definitely come back with those people. You have nothing to do with them. They know it, but they have Duan Qingchen who knows the Black Lotus Sect very well. If they are not found out, the Black Lotus Sect will never live in peace."
The corners of Zhuo Qianyi's eyes gleamed slightly, and at this moment, he finally understood why the emperor met him in person and secretly here.
Qi Ning also understood at this time and thought that the little emperor had a careful plan to use the power of the Black Lotus Sect to investigate Lu Shanghe and his gang.
Just as Long Tai said, if the imperial court sends people to pursue Lu Shanghe, it will definitely scare the snake and make things more difficult to handle. Being able to plan such a careful layout, that force is naturally cunning and extremely cunning and will not be easy to deal with. And when the time comes, it will It consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources. In this case, it is naturally appropriate for the Black Lotus Sect to pursue it.
After all, the Black Lotus Sect has been established in Xichuan for decades and is deeply rooted. After all, this is a gang formed by the Miao people, and it still has some Miao roots. They know Xichuan's humanities, sophistication, and geographical environment best. If they mobilize all their strength to pursue it, they may not be able to do it. Harvest, in this way, the court will avoid spending too much manpower and energy on this matter.
Longtai naturally understood that the Black Lotus Sect was located in the western border and did not buy the favor of the imperial court. If other people were sent to discuss with Zhu Qianyi, with Zhu Qianyi's temperament, they would most likely not obey the imperial court's orders. The emperor came forward in person, which can be said to have given Shui Qianyi face.
Shui Qianyi was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and finally said: "What if we find out the real culprit behind the scenes?"
"This is what I want to ask you." Longtai said seriously: "No matter what is found, you and the people of the Black Lotus Sect must not act rashly. You must report the clues found to me and I will make arrangements." Xiang Yiyi Xiang Tianbei, who said nothing, winked and shook his hand. Something fell on the table in front of Swing Yi. Qining took a look and saw that it was a falcon made of black iron. It was exquisite. It's small and can be held in one palm. I don't know what it is. I just heard Xiang Tianbei say: "We will have someone to keep in touch with you at any time. Any clues you find must be handed over to us. All actions must be Follow our instructions."
Zhu Qianyi sneered: "So, you want me to become your eagle dog?"
"Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the one who leads the land is not the king's ministers." Xiang Tianbei said calmly with an expressionless face: "If the Black Lotus Sect has done meritorious service this time, the imperial court will allow the Black Lotus Sect to guard the western border, as long as it does not offend the imperial court. King Fa, the court can let you be free. If you agree, put away the eagle. If you refuse, you can leave now."
Swing Yi frowned and stared at the Eagle Brand.
"Jiuxi Poison King has been around for many years and is not a stupid person." Xiang Tianbei said: "You can think about it for yourself. With the current strength of the Black Lotus Sect, if Duan Qingchen and his gang come back, will you still be able to survive? Moreover, the emperor said that their target is probably the entire Miao family's seventy-two holes. If they fail this time, they may come back again. Are you willing to see the Miao family's seventy-two holes become a river of blood? If you agree to assist the court this time , obey the imperial court's instructions, and the imperial court can protect the Black Lotus Sect. You are a smart person, so it seems you don't need me to say more."
Zhu Qianyi closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Finally he opened his eyes and said, "If the real culprit is found and those people are arrested, Duan Qingchen will of course be dealt with by our Black Lotus Sect."
"Of course." Xiang Tianbei said: "The imperial court established the Shenhou Mansion to maintain the order and rules of the world. The Black Lotus Sect is a force in the world. We will not break your rules of cleaning up the family."
Zhuo Qianyi did not hesitate, reached out and grabbed the Eagle Card on the table, and said: "I will try my best to investigate."
At this moment, Xiang Tianbei frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?" As he spoke, his body jumped up from the ground and rolled towards the door like the wind. There was a clear sword sound and a long The sword was unsheathed, and in just a moment, he was already in front of the door. The long sword in his hand stabbed straight through the wooden door. A cry of surprise immediately sounded outside, and then the sound of something breaking was heard.
Zhuo Qianyi saw this in his eyes and lost his voice: "Falling Leaf Sword, what a good swordsmanship!"
When Qi Ning heard the exclamation outside, he immediately recognized Zhuo Xian'er's voice and rushed over. However, he only saw Xiang Tianbei twist his wrist, and a "click" sound sounded, and the exquisite mahogany door immediately opened. It was torn into pieces. When Qining stepped forward, he could see clearly that Zhuo Xianer was so limp outside the door. There were broken dishes in his hands, and the steaming pastries fell to the floor.
"Master Xiang!" Qi Ning called out, only to see Xiang Tianbei's eyes like daggers, staring at Zhuo Xian'er who was slumped on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Who asked you to come closer?"
Zhuo Xian'er's face turned pale, and she seemed to be very frightened. She said in a trembling voice: "My humble servant... My humble servant has steamed some snacks and wants to send them to... for the Marquis and all the other gentlemen to have a taste, but... I don't dare to come near... !”
Xiang Tianbei snorted coldly, sheathed his sword, turned around and returned to the house.
Qi Ning then stepped forward, helped Zhuo Xian'er stand up, and said, "Xian'er, are you injured anywhere? I'm really sorry. My friend is acting cautiously because he is worried that someone is watching outside. Are you okay?"
Zhuo Xianer shook her head, still in shock, and whispered: "Master Hou, I... I'm not peeping, I...!"
"No need to explain." Qi Ning said with a smile: "It's okay, just go down and clean up first, and I'll see you later."
Suddenly, I heard Long Tai's voice coming from behind: "Miss Xian'er, my subordinates acted recklessly and offended many of them, so please don't blame me. I heard that Miss Xian'er is excellent at playing the piano. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to enjoy it?"
