Dandugu asked back, "Sir, think this letter is fake?"

Qi Ning pondered slightly, shook his head and said, "Since Langchadulu has secretly collected it, there should be no falsehood." He sighed, "It's just that Langchadulu can trust Li Hongxin so easily, which is really something I didn't expect."

Dandugu said solemnly: "The Li family has been in charge of Xichuan for many years. In this Xichuan, a large number of gentry and officials have relied on the existence of the Li family to enjoy all their wealth and glory. After Li Hongxin surrendered to the court, although the court did not kill all these officials and gentry, their days under the jurisdiction of Chu were far less than those of the Li family when they were in power. " He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, and then continued: "These people have been watching. The court has been guarding against Li Hongxin for many years to make a comeback in Xichuan. These people also know that Li Hongxin cannot just bow down and accept his fate. Perhaps Li Hongxin has been waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback."

Qi Ning sneered: "So these people are waiting to raise an army and rebellion with Li Hongxin?"

"The Lord is wrong." Dandugu shook his head and said, "They are waiting to enjoy the glory and wealth with Li Hongxin, rather than waiting to rebel with Li Hongxin!"

Qi Ning was slightly stunned, but immediately understood what Dandugu meant, and smiled faintly: "The Damiao King meant that if Li Hongxin rebelled, these people would not follow immediately, just wait and see the wind direction, and wait until Li Hongxin has hope of success, so that these people would follow?"

"That's exactly what it means." Dan Dugu said: "There are quite a few of these people, and they will watch the wind direction, but once they follow Li Hongxin, they will form a powerful force, which will pose a greater threat to the court than they did in the past."

"Severe than that in the past?"

"Judgun, when the Great Chu was established, the Li family dominated one side in Xichuan and became kings." Dandugu said: "When the Great Chu was established, generations of the Li family had ruled in Xichuan for decades and had extremely solid foundations. The old marquis of Jinyi were able to pacify Xichuan, although the old marquis of Jinyi was able to control the troops and the Chu army was brave and good at fighting, but there were other reasons in addition to this." After a pause, he continued: "Judgun should know that when the Chu army pacified Shu, the black rock caves of the 72 caves of the Miao family had contributed to the Chu army, but in addition, the other camps were still in control, neither assisting the Chu army nor helping Li Hongxin."

Qi Ning nodded slightly. He naturally knew that when the Chu army attacked Shu, the Da Miao King ordered the Miao people not to get involved in the war in order to protect the 72 holes of the Miao family. Heiyan Cave was rejected by the 72 holes of the Miao family because of assisting the Chu army.

"The Miao family was not involved in that war, I believe that the Lord can understand our difficulties." Dandu said seriously: "In that war, the Chu army and the Shu army were actually of equal strength. At that time, no one could tell who would win in the end. If the Miao people were involved in it, it would definitely bring endless disasters to the Miao family after the war. Therefore, the choice of the old Miao king at that time was the most correct choice. If it were me, it would have been like this."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I can understand."

"The Miao family did not follow Li Hongxin, not only to protect themselves, but also because when the Li family ruled Xichuan, they were ruthless and merciless to the Miao family and exploited them to the extreme." The Miao king looked cold: "In fact, if the Li family had kindness to the Miao people back then, in times of crisis, the Miao family might not have helped them."

When Qi Ning knew that King Da Miao said this, he was already very honest with him. He picked up the wine bowl and greeted King Da Miao. Both of them drank it all in one gulp. Qi Ning picked up the bamboo tube and poured wine for King Da Miao and himself.

"At that time, not only the Miao family did not help the Li family, but even the gentry clans did not fully support the Li family." The Da Miao king said: "In order to stabilize the rule of their own family, the Li family was held by their relatives in all important positions in Xichuan. In order to prevent the aristocratic clans from threatening the Li family, they also suppressed them. Therefore, when the Chu army attacked Xichuan, the Li family and those who received the favor of the Li family would resist with all their might. Most of the gentry had actually had a strange intention. I am forbidden to say that if the Xichuan gentry had fully supported the Li family, even if the Chu army could still win in the end, the war would have been postponed for at least several years."

Qi Ning frowned and said, "Those aristocratic families were already half-hearted about the Li family. Do you still have the desire to support Li Hongxin now?"

"After Xichuan became the rule of Da Chu, the court did pacify the clans of Xichuan at the beginning and captured the hearts of the people. At that time, Li Hongxin had no chance or hope to make a comeback." Da Miao King said: "But since then, the Chu State and the Northern Han Dynasty fought for many years, especially the Qinhuai War, and the expenses of both sides were difficult to calculate. In those years, the court collected taxes from Xichuan very heavily. The gentry of Xichuan complained and had already developed dissatisfaction with the court. People in Xudu felt that compared with the rule of the Li family, Chu State now collects taxes even more than that."

The Chu-Han dispute was all about being able to unify the world. Both sides tried their best to annex each other. During this period, the consumption of manpower and financial resources was of course astronomical figures.

Qi Ning knew that the prosperous place in Xichuan was in his heart. The battle between the Chu State and the Han army was about money and grain, and it was certainly necessary to collect taxes from Xichuan.

The war will certainly bring burden to the people of Xichuan, but the court will certainly not make the gentry of Xichuan relaxed.

After the Great Chu pacified Xichuan, he had made proper resettlement to King Li Hongxin of Shu. As for those gentry clans, the court would naturally not be too embarrassed. However, this does not mean that the court allowed these wealthy clans to let these wealthy clans go. The court used the war to collect heavy taxes on the wealthy clans of Xichuan. Although it was to support the war on the front line, it was also to weaken the strength of the wealthy clans of Xichuan. It was a killing of two kills.

It is natural that the Xichuan family was dissatisfied with the imperial court under heavy taxes.

Qi Ning understood and sneered: "They felt that the tax was too heavy, so they wanted to make a comeback from the Li family, but they did not dare to blatantly support Li Hongxin. However, once Li Hongxin really made a fuss and made a big splash, they would follow Li Hongxin and support him strongly."

The King of Damiao nodded and said, "That's true. There are many rich and wealthy people in Xichuan. As long as they support Li Hongxin, they will not be short of money, grain and troops, and a climate will be formed in a short period of time. So don't look at Li Hongxin now, but as long as he seizes the right opportunity, he will easily form a force and pose a huge threat to the court."

Qi Ning thought about something and pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems that the person who most hopes that Xichuan will fall into turmoil is Li Hongxin. As long as Xichuan is in chaos, he will have a chance." Looking at the Damiao King, he said, "He secretly colluded with Langchadulu, just hoping that Langchadulu would be the first to provoke the turmoil, so he would have the opportunity to take the opportunity to cause chaos."

"Langchadulu knows the influence of Li Hongxin in Xichuan." Damiao Wang said: "Langchadulu knows that if he can really get the support of Li Hongxin, he will gain huge benefits. Li Hongxin promises that he will be the king of Xichuan, and he believes it."

Qi Ning sneered: "Langchadulu can't help but underestimate Li Hongxin too much. Li Hongxin is deliberately planning secretly. Even if things are done, is it to make wedding clothes for others and hand over the position of King of Xichuan to Langchadulu?"

"Once the ambition is too strong, it will easily fascinate your eyes." The Great Miao King sighed: "In Langchadulu's view, after he becomes the Great Miao King, he can control the seventy-two holes of the Miao family, which are hundreds of thousands of people. He feels that with such strength, he may not be able to become the King of Xichuan." He pointed to the letter: "Actually, Langchadulu is not too stupid. This letter is actually the token of his alliance with Li Hongxin. If he does not hold Li Hongxin's handle in his hand, Langchadulu will not easily believe Li Hongxin."

Qi Ning also felt relieved: "Li Hongxin wrote this letter with his own hands to Langchadulu, which is actually a guarantee. Li Hongxin does not have much real power in his hands now, and he cannot convince Langchadulu with just a mouth. Langchadulu asked him to write this letter as evidence for the future. In order to use Langchadulu, Li Hongxin knew that this letter would be a handle in Langchadulu, but he had no choice but to write this letter and hand it to Langchadulu."

"Langchadulu has this letter in his hand, so that he can trust Li Hongxin and the two can join forces together." Damiao Wang said: "Maybe Langchadulu is still thinking in his heart that if he succeeds in the court and Li Hongxin breaks his promise, he can use this letter as evidence to make Li Hongxin keep his promise." He smiled coldly and said: "But he doesn't think about it. If he really waits for Li Hongxin to become a climate, how could he care about a mere letter, it's just a piece of waste paper."

Qi Ning thought about it and said, "King Damiao, when did you find this letter?"

Damiao Wang said: "I got it not long after that incident."

"Why did King Damiao keep hiding this letter?" Qi Ning frowned slightly: "Li Hongxin conspired to rebel, you should have told me earlier."

The Damiao King looked solemn and shook his head, "If it hadn't happened tonight, I'd be afraid that this letter would never be seen."

"This...?" Qi Ning was stunned, but instantly understood the reason.

The Great Miao King sighed: "Li Hongxin colluded with Langchadulu, but the plan failed, so Li Hongxin's purpose of using Langchadulu to control the Miao people will be vain. I got this letter and thought about whether to report to the court, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be better to hide it. The Old Miao King did not want the Miao people to be involved in right and wrong. I have the same idea, but I will not do anything against the woe of the Miao family's seventy-two caves."

"Does the great witch know the existence of this letter?"
