Chapter 105: The plan failed?
"Okay, okay, you guys really opened my eyes. Li Cunxu chased me away, but I endured it.
Prince Qi Li Maozhen wanted to interfere, but I endured it.
I even tolerated that old man Ma Yin, but what right did Yang Pu and those rubbish have? How dare they attack my Daliang? "
Zhong Xiaokui also picked up the letters on the ground and started reading. Each letter described how Qi, Shu, Chu and other countries attacked the Daliang border while Li Cunxu was chasing Zhu Youzhen back to Bianzhou.
Then there was information about Huazhou being breached and Junzhou being breached.
To sum up, each of the ten countries took advantage of the opportunity to attack Daliang to a greater or lesser extent, although some small vassal states did not gain any territory.
"Fuck you, Li Maozhen!"
At this time, Zhu Youzhen roared again, which scared Zhong Xiaokui: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Youzhen threw a letter on the ground, then picked up the scabbard on the ground and hit the letter frantically again and again.
It seems that I should treat it as Li Maozhen, so that I can vent some of my anger.
At this moment, Anton Jun, wearing Confucian robes, a Confucian scarf on his head, and an evil ghost mask on his face, fell from the sky and appeared in front of the two.
“Who is it?!” Zhong Xiaokui instantly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, and her petite body stood in front of Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen's expression didn't change much. I don't know if he was frightened or if the recent changes made him accustomed to this feeling of being startled.
An Dongjun bowed slightly, took out a corpse ancestor token, bowed and clasped his hands, and said: "I, the corpse ancestor Chu Yan, greet your majesty!"
However, having said that, the arc of his bow was ridiculously small.
From Zhu Youzhen's perspective, Anton Jun seemed to be looking down at him, and there was no trace of respect in his tone.
"Corpse Ancestor Chu Yan?!" x2
After seeing his token and hearing his words, the two had completely different expressions.
For some reason, Zhong Xiaokui seemed to have suddenly found a backer. Her eyes lit up and she stared at Anton Jun.
It's hard to describe the look in her eyes. It seemed like admiration, but also a little too enthusiastic. Even though Anton was wearing a mask, he still felt uneasy when he saw her.
"Could it be that this little girl has some special feelings for the Corpse Ancestor?"
Speaking of which, Anton Jun also felt strange, as was the case in the original novel. He didn't know why Zhong Xiaokui was so loyal to the Xuanming Sect.
The reason she was looking for the four corpse ancestors might be because she felt that the corpse ancestors could strengthen the Xuanming Sect again.
But what she didn't know was that each of the four corpse ancestors didn't want to stay in the Xuanming Sect more than the other, so there was no emotion between them.
Anton Jun was very curious about what Zhong Xiaokui’s reaction would be when he found out that four of the five corpse ancestors were helping Qi Kingdom to fight Liang Kingdom?
Compared to Zhong Xiaokui's worship, Zhu Youzhen was much more normal. He had heard of the name of this Chu Yan Shizu. When Zhu Wen was assassinated, he was insulted by the assassin.
It was this Corpse Ancestor who stood up and rebuked the assassin, and even fought off the assassin on his own. His reputation in the Xuanming Sect was once no less than that of Meng Po, but he had only heard of her and had never seen her.
Because it is said that it was at that time that the corpse ancestor was seriously injured and had just arrived in Bianzhou not long ago, so he went back to recuperate.
And now that he's here, it means that his body has recovered, right?
Zhu Youzhen also stood up and looked at An Dongjun, his eyes calm, "I wonder if Corpse Ancestor came out of retreat this time to help me?"
"I heard that Li Cunli of the Tongwenguan plotted against Your Majesty in Luzhou, and that Li Cunxu even conquered the two states of Daliang. I was very curious, so I came to take a look.
I think our Daliang was so grand in the past, but what is going on with the Liang court and the Xuanming Sect now? They act so cowardly.
For those who cannot help Your Majesty, I can take the blame and help Your Majesty get rid of those freeloaders!"
An Dongjun spoke coldly, without giving Zhu Youzhen any face, and cursed everyone in Liang State except him.
However, even though he was so disrespectful, Zhu Youzhen was a little angry, but he didn't say anything.
Because this also further confirms a guess made by the previous people and Zhu Youzhen now, that this newly promoted corpse ancestor is a complete lunatic who only cares about the good and bad of the Liang State.
That's why he feels at ease using such people. As long as he is given a target that can benefit Daliang, he will be the sharpest blade.
Zhu Youzhen also sneered: "My dear minister, you don't know that the person who plotted against me in Luzhou that day was not Li Cunli from Tongwenguan, but Li Xingyun's senior brother, who might be from Qiguo Huanyinfang."
An Dongjun asked: "Is it possible? What does your majesty mean by this?"
Zhong Xiaokui was also confused and looked at Zhu Youzhen, wondering why he said that.
However, judging from Zhu Youzhen's reaction after seeing Li Cunxu's letter just now, she knew what was said in the letter.
"Xiao Kui, show the letter to Corpse Ancestor."
Zhu Youzhen did not answer him immediately, but asked Zhong Xiaokui to show him the letter.
Zhong Xiaokui came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes."
When An Dongjun read the letter, Zhu Youzhen slowly spoke:
"Please read the letter, my Lord. It has only been a dozen days since Li Cunxu moved his troops from Taiyuan, but he has only conquered two of my states.
On the other hand, the Qi Kingdom took over the cities of the five states in such a short time. If you say that Li Maozhen did not plan ahead, no one would believe it, right? "
An Dongjun continued to question: "But this doesn't prove anything, maybe Li Maozhen is a master of military strategy."
Zhu Youzhen still did not explain this problem in time and continued:
"Over the years, Li Cunli has openly opposed the Xuanming Sect several times, but if you think about it carefully, is he really that kind of person?
It is rumored that Li Cunli of Tongwenguan is extremely cunning, and that man acts so arrogantly and domineeringly, is it really him?
Over the years, the Xuanming Sect and Tongwenguan have fought many battles, big and small, because of this person, and each time both sides suffered heavy casualties. So who benefited from it?
Let's look at the Qi Kingdom Huanyinfang. They are the only ones who are focused on reform, stationing troops and making money. Everything has been going smoothly and peacefully.
If I really go to war with Li Cunxu this time, it goes without saying who will benefit. "
"But Your Majesty, aren't all the people in Huanyinfang women? Then how could 'Li Cunli' be from Huanyinfang?" Zhong Xiaokui also asked at this time.
"Ha!" Hearing her words, Zhu Youzhen sneered, then picked up the letter Li Cunxu gave him on the ground and handed it to An Dongjun.
"It is because of this that I have never doubted Huanyinfang. I never thought that this Jianlu master brother is really a character."
Li Cunxu's letter contained everything that An Dongjun wrote to him, and he even added some exaggerations to it.
However, just trying to make Zhu Youzhen believe this is obviously not enough. Instead, it may make Zhu Youzhen think that Li Cunxu is diverting the war to Qi State.
Therefore, Li Cunxu wrote about Li Cunli being exiled to Fengzhou by Li Keyong, and the fact that Qi State did not send anyone to rescue Li Xingyun. Finally, he speculated that the assassin would pretend to be another leader of Tongwenguan to rescue Li Xingyun.
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Cunxu said, Zhu Youzhen connected all the things that had happened over the past period of time, analyzed them carefully, and figured out Qi State's plan.
In today's world, as long as he does as his elder brother wishes and fights Li Cunxu to the death, the ones who will benefit in the end will only be Qi State and other princes.
Of course, he had thought that this was Li Cunxu's strategy to lure him away, but he needed to fight both sides himself.
However, compared with Jin State, Qi State was too aggressive. Even Li Cunxu only took two of its states, but Li Maozhen actually took five states in such a short time. He decided to give priority to attacking Qi State.
