Chapter 25 Conspiracy

Asunayun didn't sleep well last night. She drank a bowl of porridge and some pastries from Li Ke, and then went back to rest.

After Ashinayun left, Li Ke asked Dan'er to invite Su Dingfang and Wang Xuance to the big tent.

"Mr. Wang, General Su and Kang Sumike are familiar with each other?" As soon as the two sat down, Li Ke asked straight to the point.

Shortly after Li Ke woke up, he hurriedly ordered the civil and military confidants to meet each other. There was no doubt that it must be the matter last night. When Wang Xuance heard Li Ke's question, he immediately understood and asked, "Your Highness thinks that the matter last night was planned by Kang Sumi behind the scenes?"

Li Ke said: "Although it is not Kang Sumi himself, the one who is planning behind it is his only son Kang Am, and it is not far away."

Since Li Ke went north to compete for the qualifying, Kang Sumi has been targeting Li Ke. It is not surprising that Kang Sumi will deal with Li Ke and Wang Xuance, but unexpectedly, it was Kang Am who almost killed Li Ke this time.

Su Dingfang said: "The last person of Kang Sumi knew that Kang Sumi was not a Turkic person, but a Sogdian from the Western Regions. He was in the grassland because of his family's decline and defected to Jie Li. Kang Sumi was a minor official under Jie Li, but he was quite talented and very good at welcomeing him, so he got Jie Li's eye and promoted him all the way, and now he was at the position of waiting for the jin."

Li Ke heard this and said, "So Kang Sumi has some tricks, and his official position is promoted so quickly."

It took only a few years for Kang Sumi to go from a down-and-out man to a position comparable to that of the great governor of Shangzhou, the Tang Dynasty. The only one who can compare with him was Zhao Deyan. This shows that Kang Sumi's official career in the Turkic officialdom was also smooth.

Wang Xuance smiled and said, "There is no difference between Kang Sumi and Jie Li's character. Although Jie Li was a Turkic Khan, he liked to use outsiders to suppress the Turkic tribes. Kang Sumi and Zhao Deyan were just right to meet their preferences, so that they could have today."

Li Ke snorted softly and said, "I don't care whether he is from the Western Regions or from the Turks. Since his father and son of the Kang family want my life, how can they sit and wait for death?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Wang Xuance asked Li Ke after hearing what Li Ke said.

Li Ke's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent that was completely worthy of his age appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "I want him to die!"

Kang Am is young and cruel, and Li Ke is definitely not a kind man and a trustworthy woman. Li Ke is always cautious when he goes north. He feels that he does not allow such dangers to be ambushed by his side at any time. He must uproot the danger.

Li Ke's words did not seem to be said from an eight-year-old boy, but Wang Xuance felt unconcealed excitement when he listened to Li Ke's words.

Wang Xuance learned everything about the way of pervasiveness and conspiracy. If Li Ke was a kind and gentleman who was full of magnificent words, Wang Xuance would be restrained everywhere and could not be used. If Li Ke was an ambitious and cruel person, he would be able to show his strengths.

Wang Xuance said: "I believe that Jie Li Khan knew what Kang Am did, but it would be difficult to kill Kang Sumi's life just by doing this."

Last night, not only Kang Am, but even Ashinayun was trapped in it. Although Kang Am, if the main plot was Kang Am, the first person to be held accountable was Ashinayun who lied Li Ke up the mountain.

Stealing the Khan token almost killed the proton of the Tang Dynasty. If all these things were explained clearly, even Ashinayun was Jie Li's daughter, so Jie Li would never investigate this matter in order to protect Ashinayun.

In order to avoid a complete breakup with Jie Li and Ashinayun, Li Ke was really inconvenient to investigate. Moreover, even if Li Ke studied it thoroughly, he would definitely not be able to get a bargain. If Kang Am's life is not taken, he would annoy Jie Li.

Li Ke said: "Even if the matter is big today, it will not take Kang Am's life. I may press this book for the time being, and just pretend that I don't want to break up with Jie Li, and will not pursue it. I will find another opportunity to kill the Kang family's father and son in one move!"

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

The Kang family father and son are like snakes, and they are blind and cunning. If they want to fight, they will beat them to death at one time without giving them a chance to fight back or be prepared for them, otherwise they will only suffer losses themselves. Li Ke is very clear about this.

———————

In Li Ke's big tent, Li Ke and others were discussing how to deal with the Kang family and his son. At the same time, in Kang Sumi's big tent, the Kang family and his son were not idle either.

"You are too unfair to act. Why did you let Li Ke walk out of the valley alive?" Kang Sumi slapped the table and said angrily to Kang Am.

Kang Am said: "The valley is very remote, and it is all wild wolves. Even if an adult enters, it is difficult to get out alive. But who would have thought that Zhishili happened to pass by and saved Li Ke."

Kang Su said secretly: "If you hurt the tiger, you were bitten instead. You plotted against Li Ke today and failed to take Li Ke's life. He will definitely not give up."

When Kang Am said this, he said disdainfully: "Hu? An eight-year-old prince Ata, who has been pampered since childhood, actually called him Hu? In my eyes, he is no different from the lamb to be slaughtered."

Li Ke is only eight years old, and is younger than Kang Amu. Moreover, Kang Amu has always been jealous of Li Ke. In Kang Amu's heart, he will naturally subjectively regard Li Ke and those mediocre and inaction noble children as one type.

When Kang Sumi heard Kang Am's words, she felt deeply inappropriate about Kang Am's conceit...

Kang Am had never had much dealing with Li Ke, but Kang Sumi was still familiar with Li Ke. In terms of age, Li Ke was naturally still a child, but his mind was not afraid to underestimate Li Ke at all.

He still remembered the scene when Li Ke fought back step by step at the grand banquet in front of Jie Li Khan and facing the leaders of various Turkic tribes. That was not the mind that an eight-year-old boy should have.

After several secret confrontations with Li Ke, in Kang Sumi's view, Li Ke was in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. He had been the best teacher in the Tang Dynasty since he was a child and received the best education in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he was not comparable to ordinary people, otherwise he would not ask for his own qualities, and he could be calm when facing Jie Li Khan.

However, Kang Sumi would not say these words to Kang Am, because he knew his child's temperament. If he said this, it would only make Kang Am more extreme and act more recklessly, and instead fall into Li Ke's trap. This is definitely not what Kang Sumi wants to see.

Kang Sumi said to Kang Am: "Although Li Ke is young, Wang Xuance beside him has some skills, so we must not underestimate the enemy. Moreover, although Khan did not explain the incident clearly last night, he must have known the cause and effect of this matter. We must not lose Khan's trust because of this matter."

Kang Sumi said this, and Kang Am heard it. He might not care about Li Ke's attitude and means, but he could not ignore Jie Li's view of him. If Jie Li was disgusted with him, then all his plans, including his plea for marriage to Ashinayun, would be vain.

Kang Am asked, "What Ata said is, what should we do?"
