Chapter 961: The Test in the Hall of Nectar

Li Chengqian is very irrelevant to these things in Jiangnan. He doesn't have to interfere with the grudges between Gu Qing and the four great men in Jiangnan. He looked at Wang Jin beside him and asked, "You said Gu Qing invited the three families to the banquet, but he didn't invite the Xie family."

"Yes." Wang Jin nodded.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and thought, "Wang Jin, do you think Gu Qing is planning to kill Ji Jinghou?"

"I don't know." Wang Jin had a smile as always on his face.

"I'm not relieved." Li Chengqian whispered: "If Gu Qing plans to let the Xie family fall down this time to give one of the other three members of Jiangnan to kill the chicken and warn the monkey, it would be too simple. And even if the Xie family falls, what if it's? This killing the chicken and warn the monkey can only suppress it for a while, and even let Gu Qing stand on the opposite side of Jiangnan. I know who Gu Qing is. He will eliminate future troubles with one move. At the beginning, he did not give the five surnames a way out, nor did he give him a way out."

Wang Jin nodded.

Li Chengqian continued: "My uncle has now left Chang'an. I had talked at my uncle's house for a long time. My uncle said that as long as he leaves Chang'an, Gu Qing will definitely leave the position of prime minister. However, after that, my uncle asked me to call Pei Xingjian. I have never understood what it has to do with Pei Xingjian."

Wang Jin, who was standing aside, kept silent and listened to Li Chengqian's story.

"Wang Jin." Li Chengqian whispered: "Call Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie."

"Yes." Wang Jin nodded.

An hour later, Pei Xingjian came to Ganlu Palace and looked at Li Chengqian and bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "Actually, I am very curious. When I was in the Duke of Zhao's mansion, you and Duke of Zhao said something."

Pei Xingjian recalled, "Didn't your Majesty ask me to see Duke Zhao?"

"You answered," Li Chengqian said again.

Pei Xingjian said with a wry smile: "Actually, Duke Zhao didn't say anything else, but just mentioned when he would let the teacher withdraw from the position of prime minister."

"Do you think the time is coming?" Li Chengqian asked back.

Pei Xingjian calmed down and stood there and didn't know how to answer.

"Do you think the time is here?" Li Chengqian asked again.

Responding to Li Chengqian was Pei Xingjian's silence, Wang Jin walked away and said, "Your Majesty, Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple, has arrived."

"Let him come in." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

Di Renjie stepped into the Ganlu Palace and was also surprised when he saw Pei Xingjian here. He glanced at Li Chengqian, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to Your Majesty summoning me."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "You two are pillars of the world. I admire you very much. You two are Gu Qing's disciples. Of course, there is Xue Rengui who is training soldiers outside. Xue Rengui is a major event in the Western Expedition, so I will not ask him. Now I will ask you two, is it time for Gu Qing to leave the position of prime minister?"

"Your Majesty!" Pei Xingjian stepped forward and said, "Duke Zhao and his teacher agreed that the teacher left the position of prime minister was the day when Duke Zhao left Chang'an."

"Now my uncle, Duke Zhao, has left Chang'an." Li Chengqian continued: "That means that Gu Qing can leave the position of prime minister?"

"Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart, why should I ask me again?" Pei Xingjian said loudly.

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded and looked at Di Renjie and asked again, "Has Dali Temple been verified? Is there any relationship between the Xie family and Gu Qing?"

"Go back to Your Majesty." Di Renjie whispered: "It has not been confirmed yet. Now my Dali Temple spy has been sent to the Xie family in Jiangnan to investigate. There will be a reply within half a month."

"Very good, Di Renjie, don't let me down." Li Chengqian said.

Pei Xingjian listened to his breathing and stood there a little uneasy. This uneasy lingered in his heart from Changsun Wuji leaving Chang'an. Li Chengqian's uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger when he mentioned it.

"Okay, you all go down." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Di Renjie followed Pei Xingjian out of the Ganlu Palace and came to the sun. Di Renjie asked Pei Xingjian, "Have you ever met Changsun Wuji?"

"It happened a month ago." Pei Xingjian explained as he walked, "I was summoned by His Majesty to Duke Zhao's Mansion. At that time, when His Majesty saw me coming, he left. His Majesty and I didn't know what he said between Changsun Wuji."

Di Renjie stopped, "The opportunity for the teacher to leave the position of prime minister? The teacher's sudden attack on Jiangnan is a case about the Xie family, but this case seems to be a creation out of nothing. Changsun Wuji left Chang'an at this time, and I always feel that there is any connection between it."

"Who knows?" Pei Xingjian sighed.

"What did you and Changsun Wuji say at the beginning?" Di Renjie asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, it's just that Changsun Wuji is testing the relationship between me and my teacher, and my bottom line again." Pei Xingjian said, "I think back to Changsun Wuji's expression when he questioned me. I'm still a little angry. His eyes make me feel uncomfortable, just as if his eyes can see through my internal organs."

"Li Chengqian seems to have concluded that the teacher will definitely leave the position of prime minister this time." Di Renjie whispered.

"I'm also very curious about what Changsun Wuji said to Li Chengqian a month ago." Pei Xingjian also nodded, "I think Li Chengqian seems to have concluded that the teacher is leaving the position of prime minister. This conclusion must be related to the dialogue between Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian a month ago. Changsun Wuji must have explained something to Li Chengqian before leaving."

Thinking of this, Di Renjie's expression changed a little, "You are right. Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian must have said something, he must have arranged something, so he left Chang'an in a dignified manner. Changsun Wuji has never been that simple. Since the Xie family complained at Dali Temple, Changsun Wuji has already obtained the result. The teacher will definitely leave the position of prime minister because of this matter. I went back to Dali Temple to check. This case is not simple. Changsun Wuji arranged a very deep backup plan, and I was negligent."

"Senior brother, wait." Pei Xingjian followed Di Renjie out of Chengtian Gate and called Di Renjie.

"What's wrong?" Di Renjie turned around in confusion.

"Senior brother is going to investigate the case clearly? If the initiator of this incident is Changsun Wuji, what should I do?" Pei Xingjian asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Di Renjie simply stopped and looked at Pei Xingjian.
