Chapter 208 Xun Rizhao's guess
In secret, Li Ang saw Gao Changgong, the once flower-like man who was terriblely pale. Seeing Li Ang looking at him with a wary look, Gao Changgong frowned, "Did you kill Cao Shaoqin?"
"It was the prince's move, I just brought him to the prince." Li Ang looked at Gao Changgong who was asking questions and looked behind him, "You are still alive."
"I have a better life." Gao Chang replied respectfully, and then he walked towards Li Ang, but was stopped by Li Ang. "When Cao Shaoqin died, he told us that you have been bribed by him, so let us be careful of you."
"You believe his words." Gao Changgong looked at the silent Li Ang, his voice was not filled with emotion, but his heart was stinged.
"That day you stayed alone in the secret passage to stop Cao Shaoqin. No one knew what happened between you and him." Li Ang's voice was calm, "If I want me to believe your words, I need evidence, what do you use to prove yourself."
‘Chi!’ Gao Changgong pulled down his clothes, and the cracked wound on his chest was oozing blood, which was shocking under the pale moonlight. “This is my evidence. Cao Shaoqin stabbed me with a sword. If my heart was not on the right side of ordinary people, I would have been a dead person.”
Looking at Gao Changgong's pale but angry face, Li Ang's voice was still so cold, "How do I know if Cao Shaoqin also knows your secret? You are just having a bitter meat show for us."
"How do you believe me?" Gao Changgong said almost gritting his teeth. He didn't expect that once Li Ang became cold, he would be so hateful.
"Tell me everything you know. I can tell you." Looking at Gao Changgong, Li Ang said with a calm expression. Now he would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. His sword pointed at Gao Changgong.
Gao Changgong looked at Li Ang pointing at his sword edge, knowing that if he couldn't let him believe it, he would become a dead person, even if he was wronged.
Listening to Gao Changgong's experience in the Palace of the US King, Li Ang frowned. After Gao Changgong finished speaking, he asked, "You mean Cao Shaoqin wants you to make us believe that the commander behind the scenes is the Grand Marshal, but in fact he is innocent."
"That's what Cao Shaoqin told me." Gao Changgong looked at Li Ang's skeptical eyes and clenched his teeth. He was a proud person. Since childhood, he had never been looked at with such suspicious eyes.
"Why did Cao Shaoqin believe you and tell you those things?" Li Ang continued to ask a question, as if Gao Changgong in front of him was a prisoner who came to cover up.
"I killed my subordinates with my own hands, do you know? In order to make him believe, I killed them." Gao Changgong roared. The two subordinates he killed were nightmares he would never forget in his life.
"How did you escape?" Unfortunately, Li Ang did not let Gao Changgong go and continued to ask coldly. His hand holding the sword was very stable. As long as Gao Changgong replied, he felt unbelievable. He would kill him, and it didn't matter if he killed the wrong one.
"He tracked you that day, but he never came back. His subordinates took me to find him. As a result, we saw his body. I took advantage of their unpreparedness to steal a person's knife and killed them all." Gao Changgong looked at Li Ang and said of his experience, "I originally wanted to go back to Chang'an directly. Later, I learned about your news from a few places where I bought horses."
"Li Qing. Put down the sword and I believe him." Just as Li Ang was still asking something, Cao Anmin's voice sounded far behind him.
"Your Highness." Looking at Cao Anmin walking behind him, although Li Ang put down his sword, he was still on guard against Gao Changgong. Although the injuries on Gao Changgong in front of him were not fake, he was still worried.
"Li Qing, tell Gu, if Gu didn't come, how would you deal with Gao Qing's family?" After returning to the camp and sitting next to the fire, Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang. His voice was majestic and a hint of oppression.
"I will kill him." Li Ang replied. He knew that no matter how good Cao Anmin had a personal relationship with him, the more he confessed, the better he would be. After all, Cao Anmin would be the one who became the emperor, and his relationship with Cao Anmin still depends on him to maintain it.
"Very good." Looking at Li Ang, a hint of praise flashed in Cao Anmin's eyes. His favorite thing was that Li Ang would never lie to him. "If Gu was in your position, Gu would also kill Gao Qing's family like you." Cao Anmin said quietly, looking at Gao Changgong beside him, "But Gu is the prince. The prince should have the prince's mind. Gu believes that Gao Qing's family has not betrayed Gu and his father."
"Your Highness." Gao Changgong leaned down. Cao Anmin gave him trust when he needed trust the most. Such kindness could not be expressed in his heart by words. He could only swear in his heart that he would definitely be loyal to the prince in the future.
Li Ang kept watching. During this period, Cao Anmin became deeper and deeper. He believed that Cao Anmin would definitely be a good emperor in the future, but he would not be a person who could give everything for his friends. However, he never thought so, he just wanted to protect himself.
"The Taiwei is Gu's uncle. Although he doesn't meet often, Gu believes that he will never rebel." After Gao Changgong got up, Cao Anmin said quietly, "Cao Shaoqin and the thief behind him are just playing the trick of "fairness and reality". Gu will never be fooled by them."
Li Ang did not speak. There was no story of the Three Kingdoms in this era. However, in the world where he was before, Cao Cao was defeated in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Liang made a trick of "the real one is real, and the empty one is empty." He violated the "the real one is empty, and the empty one is real." In the art of military, he tricked Cao Cao into Huarong Road. Unfortunately, Guan Yu let Cao Cao go in the end and failed.
Cao Shaoqin is very likely to have played the trick of "The real one is real, and the virtual one is empty." The ultimate goal is to cleanse the suspicion of the Taiwei. Although he thought so in his heart, Li Ang did not say it. After all, Cao Anmin had already said that in front of others. It was a foolish act to say different speculations at this time.
Gao Changgong fell asleep. In the past few days, he pursued Li Ang and Cao Anmin with injuries, and his body had already reached its limit. After the rest of the people fell asleep, Cao Anmin found Li Ang. He had just noticed Li Ang's strangeness, and seemed to have something hidden in his heart and didn't say it.
Seeing Cao Anmin asking, Li Ang told Cao Anmin his guess, and he believed that Cao Anmin would have his own judgment. "You are right." Cao Anmin nodded after hearing what Li Ang said, but his brows were frowning.
Although he didn't care about Cao Shaoqin's trick of "virtuality", he had a headache: whether his uncle, the Grand Marshal Cao Fei's treacherous or loyal, he could no longer tell whether he was a traitor or a loyal person.
"Do you think the president will be rebellious?" After shook his head, Cao Anmin changed the subject. When he was talking to Gao Changgong just now, he heard Gao Changgong's suspicion of the president. Although there was no clear evidence, Gao Changgong's words made him care about the subtle changes in Cao Shaoqin's mention of the president's long-term changes.
"Never one of us can believe it now, but we are the only ones who can believe it." Li Ang replied, looking at Cao Anmin and said, "As long as your highness returns to Chang'an and see Your Majesty, no matter what conspiracy those rebels have, they can do nothing." Li Ang has always believed that under absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless.
"You are right. As long as I see my father, I don't have to be afraid of anything." Cao Anmin nodded, then he looked at the dark sky and said to Li Ang. "Go to bed early, we will have to hurry tomorrow."
In the Anxi Protectorate Mansion in Wanzhou, listening to Xun Rizhao's reply, the general's face became ugly. He did not expect such a big change in the United States. "The prince and Li Qianhu are together, are you sure your highness is fine?"
"Before the Xiaguan left, the prince was with Lord Li. I think with Lord Li's ability, he would not let the prince get into trouble." Xun Rizhao replied.
"Why didn't you contact me earlier?" Listening to Xun Rizhao's words, the general looked at him with a sharp look. The prince was stranded in King Mi for more than half a month, but Xun Rizhao did not send anyone to send any news, which made him very unhappy.
"This is Lord Li's order." Xun Rizhao answered quietly in front of the chief's sharp gaze, "And the officials also think that Lord Li's order is not wrong. Dongchang rebelled and there is also a fake prince. Lord Li did this out of His Highness's safety."
"For the safety of Your Highness." The Chief laughed, but the smile was creepy. "He is just a bold guy. Every time he made contributions over the years, he was a dangerous move and was fought by luck." The Chief roared, slapped the table, "The prince is safe with him, so he actually went to the camp at night. If he was captured, where would the prince be placed?"
"Sir, it seems that it is not the time to lose your temper now." Xun Rizhao looked at the general with a gray face, still calm. "After Lord Li met an assassin who assassinated the prince on the road, he sent someone back to Wanzhou to report to you. I wonder if you have sent someone to Wanzhou."
"Of course I sent someone, but I'm afraid I'll encounter that fake guy." The general's face looked very ugly. The first time he was plotted like this, he sent a secret guard to guard the fake guy who pretended to be the prince, which was a very shameful humiliation.
"Sir, should we do something?" Xun Rizhao looked at the chief and asked quietly.
"Cao Shaoqin deceived the prince's handwritten letters, mobilized our dragon cavalry stationed on the border, and suppressed the six kings. I must figure out what he was going to do. I will go to the United States in person." The general leader stood up, "You should immediately take your people to find the prince and escort the prince back to Chang'an."
"Here!" Xun Rizhao stood up, and the chief of the general went to Hezhong to take charge. He didn't need to worry about anything, but he was not sure if he asked him to find the prince. After all, if Li Ang had hidden his tracks in the Hezhong area to Chang'an, for safety reasons, he would never be able to find them.
In a big mansion in Wanzhou City, Xun Rizhao found Li Yanzong. When Li Ang went to the United States, he asked Li Yanzong to take Xiaoguo Camp and the others to continue training in Wanzhou, and did not let them go to Hezhong.
"What did you say? Tule and Cunba are both dead?" Li Yanzong's expression was stunned when he heard the bad news brought by Xun Rizhao. Although he only regarded Li Cunzhi as his personal disciple, others also called him master and Tule. Since following Li Ang, he, Tule, Drizzt, and Cen Ji have always been like brothers. Now they are all dead, and he really can't accept it.
After a long time, Li Yanzong raised his head and looked at Xun Rizhao and said, "Master, he has nothing to do, right?"
"Sir, it's okay, just because of Tule and the others' death..." Xun Rizhao didn't continue to say it. He knew that Li Yanzong understood what he meant.
"The Lord must think that this is his fault. He must have taken all the things on himself." Li Yanzong muttered to himself, and then he looked at Xun Rizhao and asked, "Does the Lord have an order for you to bring to me?"
"Sir, you want you to bring the 'Pojun Orphan Army, the special Han army and some mixed troops of the Jianghu people, the military number officially issued by the military hall, and go to the city escort bureau with the two ladies to stand by." Xun Rizhao said in a deep voice. He understood what Li Ang meant. If something happened to the prince and the family would harm his family, he would ask Li Yanzong to take Feng Siniang and the others to a foreign country. No matter where he could survive, he would not tell Li Yanzong about this meaning.
"I understand, I'll go and prepare for 'Pojun'." Li Yanzong stood up, bowed to Xun Rizhao, and left the study.
"What will happen in Chang'an?" When Li Yanzong withdrew, Xun Rizhao closed his eyes. He thought of his grandfather who had let him go out for training. Thinking of the farce-like robbery of marriage, he suddenly felt that his grandfather asked him to leave Chang'an, perhaps it was not just about honing him.
"Cao Shaoqin, Dongchang." Xun Rizhao said to himself. Of course he knew what Dongchang did. Dongchang's real responsibility was to supervise the aristocratic family for the royal family. In other words, Dongchang was controlled by the royal family. Cao Shaoqin's rebellion was enough to show that someone in the royal family participated and his status was not low. The real power of the Qin Dynasty was not as simple as the court. The cabinet, the three provinces and six ministries were just chess pieces. The only ones that controlled the Qin Dynasty were the royal family and the aristocratic family.
Xun Rizhao couldn't help but think that thirty years ago, when the emperor was still the crown prince, he was assassinated. That time, the Duke of Zhenguo in Chang'an fell to the sky. Thinking of this, Xun Rizhao couldn't help but be shocked by his thoughts. He actually suspected that what happened now was the same as that of thirty years ago, which indicates that a large family would be defeated.
"How is this possible?" Xun Rizhao shook her head, muttered to herself and blew out the candlelight, and the room suddenly became pitch black.
