Chapter 896 How strong is the murderous intent
But even though all his words were about the other party's parents, Duke Zhao still had to maintain his composure: "Although this matter is not difficult, is it really not negotiable?"
"Duke Zhao...Duke Zhao!" Seeing Zhangsun Wuji become so polite, Li Yifu suddenly sighed and said, "What did you do earlier? Discuss? What is there to discuss?
That's right, my uncle, you felt wronged in Mount Li, so you have been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food. Now you finally got the chance to force my prince out of Chang'an. What a sense of accomplishment... But, when you bullied my prince, who did you discuss it with? His Majesty? That's great! You can discuss it with His Majesty now!"
"..." When Changsun Wuji heard Li Yifu speaking in a sarcastic tone in front of him, his face became extremely ugly, but no matter how ugly it was, he could only endure it.
And in his mind, there was an even more frightening thought: there were truly many talented people among the Dou family's retainers, especially the younger generation. There was Wang Xuance in the past, then came Zhang Zhenxuan, and now there is Li Yifu.
Of these three, Zhang Zhenxuan might be the easier to deal with. The remaining two are more difficult than the other...
"Duke Zhao? Why don't you say anything?" Li Yifu saw that Zhangsun Wuji hadn't said anything, so he asked curiously, "Are you still not going to give up?"
"That's not what I meant." Hearing that, Changsun Wuji raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yifu: "You've scolded me, but I just want to ask you one thing now. Regarding Changsun Anye's matter... do you have any evidence?"
"When Changsun Anye was exiled to Xizhou, you wrote to Liu Boying, the governor of Xizhou, asking him to take good care of Changsun Anye. Later, you wrote to Lu Ming, the head of the Fanyang Lu family in Xizhou, asking him to find someone to set up a trap for Changsun Anye, so that he would not only lose all his wealth in the casino run by the Taiyuan Wang family, but also be heavily in debt.
These are all witnesses and evidences. You want to deny it, but I am afraid it will not work..." Li Yifu said here, suddenly smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Changsun Wuji: "Why don't you read it yourself first, so that you don't say that I am scaring you later."
"..." Zhang Sun Wuji took the envelope hesitantly, then thought about it and simply opened the envelope in front of Li Yifu...
After a while.
“Tear…” Changsun Wuji tore the letter in his hand into two pieces. At the same time, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered: “Dou Shilun…Dou Shilun! This man is really capable!”
This bastard...he actually got the correspondence between me and Liu Boying!
Did Liu Boying betray him?! Or... was he a member of the Dou family?!
For a moment, Changsun Wuji's mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn't come up with an answer in the end.
"Mr. Dou is indeed capable." Li Yifu nodded in agreement when he heard this.
"Alright, you win." Changsun Wuji finally couldn't stand the torture anymore. Damn it, he thought the experience in Taiji Hall was hard enough, but it turned out that the real big head was still to come: "Nothing else... I'll leave first."
"Farewell, Duke Zhao." Li Yifu bowed and said in a low voice with the utmost respect: "From now on, even if you want to rebel, we will not stop you. But if you target my prince and his brothers and sisters again, Lord Dou said that if you still don't listen to his advice, he can't stop those murderous people in the Dou family."
"How heavy is it?" Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"It's probably this heavy that I can make the Changsun family 'live without a single person'." After paying his respects, Li Yifu straightened his back again and said, "Duke Zhao, the Dou family doesn't owe you anything! The old lady treated you well in the past. If you don't keep targeting His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, you're just courting death!"
"Is this what Empress Taimu meant?" Zhang Sun Wuji didn't even have time to care about Li Yifu's outrageous words at this moment, because he got a very shocking news from him: "Empress Taimu... actually has a backup plan for me?"
"The old lady had long expected that the Queen would favor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. Since the Queen favors His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you, as his brother, will naturally favor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Whether it's family affection or interests, no matter from which aspect, you have no reason to favor His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu." Li Yifu said this and suddenly sighed, "But who would have thought... In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not fight with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, but you, who have been persistent in targeting His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, are really persistent..."
"..." At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji inexplicably recalled the days when he and His Majesty had been causing trouble everywhere in Taiyuan - every time he and His Majesty returned home, if he ran into Empress Taimu, he would greet her very politely, but no matter how polite he behaved, Empress Taimu's gentle and bright eyes seemed to be able to see through his deepest thoughts at a glance...
There was another long silence. Finally, Zhangsun Wuji seemed to have figured something out. He suddenly laughed bitterly, "It's not unfair for Wuji to lose to Aunt Dou... It's not unfair..."
"I hope Duke Zhao will take care of himself," Li Yifu didn't bother to care whether the other party was acting or not. Anyway, if there was a next time, Duke Zhao's Mansion would no longer exist in Chang'an.
After Changsun Wuji saw Li Yifu off and stepped into the crowded Zhuque Street, he looked back at his own carriage not far away, then raised his head to look at the towering imperial palace in front of him. He pondered for a moment, and finally turned around and walked towards the palace...
-------------------------------------
The turmoil in Chang'an has come to an end for the time being.
At the same time, in the distant Western Regions, after half a month of waiting, His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally received replies from the countries in the Western Regions.
除开昭武九姓愿意派兵助楚王殿下扫平西域，剩下的西域各国，也就只有精绝、小宛和车师四国（?6?8车师前国?6?8、车师后国?6?8、车师尉都国?6?8、车师后城国?6?8）愿意派兵。
As for the rest.
how to say……
“I’m really going to fuck his great-grandfather’s great-grandfather!” Inside Yumen Pass, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sat alone on a high seat, passionately speaking to the family retainers and Tang generals below him: “Ask them to send some people to support me, but the reason these bastards gave in the letter for their refusal was that it’s either windy or rainy recently! They’re making fun of me! This is the Western Regions, it’s fucking raining!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier His Royal Highness the King of Chu got. He simply stood up from his seat and walked to the map of the Western Regions spread out on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pointed to the location of Qianquan City and said to the crowd that had gathered around him, "According to the King of Kang, because of me, Siyehu Khan has reached a reconciliation with Yibishekui Khan. They have now gathered 120,000 troops in Qianquan City and are planning to have a big battle with me. But with just this few people, I can't defeat them all."
"Your Highness is planning to..." Wang Xuance, who knew the temperament of the King of Chu well, had a bad premonition at this time.
"Yunqi," His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not respond to his words, but turned to Yunqi, who was in charge of the Black Armor Army, and said, "Go back and ask all the Black Armor Army under your command to take off their armor, and also ask them to hand over the horizontal swords they are wearing. I have other uses for them!"
