Chapter 2686 Forged Letters
One of them stepped forward and said, "After my advice, according to my previous prediction, we set up defenses along the Yulian River near Baihu City, and we really caught this person!"
Song Zhiwen opened his eyes wide.
When he heard this, Li Bushu was not surprised at all. In fact, he did not have to be surprised. He was already wary of the other party's move before he set off. Until now, it was just his speculation.
It was Murong Qiuming and Xue Huaien.
The faces of the two people suddenly changed drastically. Xue Huaien looked at Li Bushen and couldn't believe his ears: "You, why are you?"
"How could I know that you would send someone to Baihu City, right?"
“…”
"In fact, I have already had such a speculation."
“…”
"No matter whether it is a country or a city, as long as there are people or as long as there are more people, the opinions cannot be unified. If the people of the Xue family want to offer the city to Yan State, then there must be people who want to compete for profit with the Xue family to oppose this practice."
“…”
"People who oppose it may simply not want to offer the city, or they may want to find another backer."
“…”
"And besides our Yan Kingdom, the other backer you can find is the only king of Nanli of the country."
“…”
"So, halfway through the way out of Handongwei, I had already sent half of my troops to guard the way, to observe whether anyone had any private contact with the king of Nanli of the country. Of course, I did let me guard it."
Xue Huai'en frowned and said, "But, there was nothing before."
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt something.
He closed his mouth all of a sudden.
Li Bushang seemed to know what he wanted to say, and said lightly: "That's right, I didn't have anyone intercepted the people you sent to Baihu City to communicate with Arislan before. They just came back to report the news and let me know that there were indeed people in Bailong City who secretly tied up with Arislan."
At this moment, Ma Yuanju, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Sir Li, when did you meet the people you sent out?"
Li Bushu looked back at him.
He said calmly: "It seems that the old man has already remembered it."
“…”
"That's right, it was the night when our two sides gathered and we were about to rush to meet with the people from the five major families on this side."
Ma Yuanju took a deep breath.
He looked at Li Bushang and said in a deep voice: "No wonder, no wonder Jiaojiao went to look for you that night, but couldn't find you. And no matter how he asked, Lord Li refused to tell everyone where you went."
Li Bushang said lightly: "I didn't kill anyone. This method of slandering people will sooner or later be revealed."
“…”
"But, until the truth of some things is revealed, I can't let people know, I sent someone to keep an eye on them."
Ma Yuanju once again looked at him deeply.
The words "Heroes are young" were clearly written, and he nodded and did not speak again.
But Song Zhiwen asked softly: "But why didn't you intercept their men at that time? Since they had other plans, it would be beneficial to you to intercept them."
Li Bushu said lightly: "It doesn't make much sense."
“…”
"After all, you have the power to sacrifice the city, and they naturally have the power to sacrifice the city, but they have discovered this, but it is still your internal discussion. If you let this matter be revealed, some people who were originally swaying will tend toward them."
“…”
"What's more, as soon as I came here, I encountered the murder of the head of the Cheng family."
“…”
"I know that people were not killed by me, but the murderer was still hidden in the dark. His purpose must be to blame me and destroy our mission this time. Since this is the case, I cannot easily reveal my trump card, because the truth of this murder case is not only related to a person's life and death, but also to the whereabouts of your entire Bailong City."
Song Zhiwen looked at him and his face also calmed down.
I couldn't help but nodded gently.
"you're right."
“…”
"But why did you stop them again this time? How do you know that stopping them and getting the news you want?"
Li Bushen glanced at him, and then looked at Xue Huaien, who was also confused.
He said lightly: "Why would you like to ask Mr. Xue why he sent his confidant to convey the message."
“…”
"I guess you are sending messages to important people. For you, the most important thing in front of you should be Arislan in White Tiger City."
“…”
"But what important news?"
“…”
"Maybe, it's because he wants to ask you something, such as after killing the head of the Cheng family, can you settle us, the Jinyiwei, and successfully get people from other families to agree to present Bailong City to him."
“…!”
Hearing this, Xue Huaien suddenly became shocked and suddenly understood. He opened his eyes wide and pointed at Li Bushen and said, "You, you, it's you."
While saying that, he took something out of his arms.
He said in disbelief: "This, is this you?"
Song Zhiwen subconsciously stepped forward and looked carefully. It turned out that what was in his hand was a handkerchief.
Although it looks like an ordinary handkerchief, under the reflection of the fire, you can see some special patterns on the handkerchief. Their Bailong City often trades with people from the country, especially with Arislan, who is close to the city. I know a little bit about some patterns that only royal personnel can use in the country.
The pattern on the veil is obviously that way.
However, not only did the handkerchief look like some patterns that only royal personnel could use, but he also saw that there were some words on the handkerchief, which were written by the country!
Li Bushang glanced at the veil, especially at the words on the veil.
The originally cold pupils were almost fleeting, and a little undetectable warmth flashed through.
He continued, "Not bad."
“…”
"I have sent this thing to you."
Xue Huai'en said in disbelief: "But, how could you have something that only the royal family in the country have?"
Li Bushang said coldly: "Because we have a 'country lord' of the country."
Xue Huai'en was stunned.
Li Bushen said, "I know you are suspicious by nature and are not easy to deceive. Ordinary letters may not deceive you. So, I specially used a veil that only the royal family could use, and I also specially sent it back to Handongwei, and asked those who are familiar with Chinese characters to forge Arislan's letters to you."
“…”
"Only in this way can you be trapped."
“…”
"As for your reply"
While he said, he glanced at Xue Zhen, and the Jinyiwei who was escorting him immediately delivered the letters he had found from him. Li Bushu took them, and only glanced at them, but did not take them apart. He raised his hand and handed them to Song Zhiwen.
