Chapter 4859 Concealing the sky and crossing the sea.
Chapter 4859: Concealing the truth.
At night, the mountains and forests are silent.
Lin Bai, Zhang Bo, Li Guxian, and He Qiyun listened carefully to Chen You's account of Li Tianen's past.
"Who are you anyway?"
After listening, He Qiyun keenly sensed the close relationship between Chen You and Li Tianen.
The way he talked about Li Tianen was as if he had witnessed with his own eyes how Li Tianen arrived in the imperial capital, how he won the imperial examination, and how he met Princess Leping.
"Hey." Chen You sighed, looked at Li Guxian deeply, and said faintly: "According to seniority, you should call me uncle."
Uncle Emperor!
Hearing these two words, Uncle Zhang and He Qiyun trembled.
The fact that Chen You said these two words shows that Chen You is a member of the royal family of Chu State.
"Uncle Emperor..."
Li Guxian was dumbfounded.
Chen You looks similar to him in age, more like her brother.
Why did the seniority suddenly increase?
But of course... appearance and age are not important among practitioners.
Some warriors who have practiced for thousands of years may still maintain the appearance of a young man.
Some warriors who have practiced for decades are like a dying old man.
Among practitioners, it is meaningless to talk about age and appearance.
Chen You said to Li Guxian: "Your mother, Princess Leping, was born three months later than me, so she is still my sister."
"This little girl has just grown up, and she was deceived by your father."
"However, your father was considered a great talent back then, and since Princess Leping followed him, I think she can be entrusted with her for the rest of her life."
"Moreover, she can leave the golden mud cage in the imperial capital."
Hearing Chen talk about Princess Leping being born three months later than him, Uncle Zhang immediately gathered the memories in his mind.
Emperor Chu had hundreds of children in his lifetime.
Most of these men either died young or were assassinated after they were born.
There are only a few princes who can survive.
After experiencing the turmoil of the past few years, the number of princes still alive in the entire imperial capital can be counted on two hands.
However, most of these princes are in the imperial capital and cannot leave the imperial capital.
Since Chen You said Princess Leping was his sister, then he should be a prince.
Which prince can appear in Kezhou?
Uncle Zhang collected the memories in his mind, woke up immediately, looked at Chen You in shock, and said, "Are you...His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"
He Qiyun was shocked and said: "You are Chu Junyou!"
Li Guxian was so frightened by Chen You's identity that she opened her mouth with shock.
Lin Bai stood beside Chen You with a calm expression.
Anyway, Lin Bai couldn't understand everything they said.
His Highness King Chen, Chu Junyou, Taoist, divine and martial arts examinations, Li Tianen, Princess Leping... Lin Bai was extremely unfamiliar with them.
I couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
What Lin Bai could understand was...the woman's name was Li Guxian, she had a very powerful father, and her mother was a princess.
In addition, what Lin Bai can understand is that... Chen You made up a set of identity and background to deceive him.
Chen You's true identity is the prince of Chu State.
So far, that's all Lin Bai can understand.
"Did you just say that your father Li Tianen has become a Taoist?"
"What about your mother?"
Chen You asked Li Guxian.
Li Guxian had not yet recovered from the shock and looked at Chen You blankly.
Uncle Zhang hurriedly said: "Miss Li Guxian, His Highness King Chen is asking you something, please speak quickly."
"His Royal Highness King Chen is a prince with excellent conduct among the princes of the Chu Kingdom. He will definitely uphold justice for your Li family."
He Qiyun also knew that this was a good opportunity and hurriedly said: "Xian'er, tell His Highness King Chen what happened quickly and let him take charge of the overall situation."
Li Guxian finally came to her senses, and suddenly knelt down in front of Chen You with a sad face.
Her face was filled with despair and pain.
"It seems that you have experienced a lot of grievance and pain."
Chen You's face darkened, and the aura of a high-ranking person spread from his body.
A surge of royal power forced Lin Bai to take two or three steps back.
"Kezhou, things are going to change, right?"
Chen You asked coldly.
Li Guxian tried her best to organize her words in her mind, and then she said: "Your Highness King Chen, the Blood God Cult has resurrected and secretly controlled tens of thousands of cities in Kezhou. The major city lords have jointly signed a letter to frame my father and family with the Blood God Cult.
There was a connection, forcing my father to become a Taoist and prove his innocence."
"After my father died, my mother was so distraught that she committed suicide in front of my father's body."
"After my parents died, the city lords of the major cities didn't give up. They joined forces to deceive Shengting and killed my family as traitors."
"In the Li clan, there are hundreds of thousands of people. Except for me, no one else is spared."
"His Royal Highness Chen, please seek justice!"
When Chen You heard this, a chilling air filled his body.
Within the Chu State, sects defined as "evil cults" are the biggest enemies of the Chu State.
Chu State has almost zero tolerance for these cults.
"Tell me more about it."
Chen You said slowly.
Li Guxian said slowly: "More than ten years ago, my father discovered that the Blood God Cult was showing signs of resurgence. They successively operated in some small villages and towns in Kezhou and recruited believers on a large scale."
"At that time, my father led the army to encircle and suppress it."
"But after killing one batch, another batch will pop up."
"Later, my father discovered that there were many Kezhou officials who were protecting the followers of the Blood God Cult openly or covertly."
"After my father's careful and detailed investigation, it was determined that the city lords of at least five thousand cities in Kezhou have surrendered to the Blood God Sect."
"..."
Chen You interrupted her and asked: "What does the Blood God Religion do to control court officials?"
Li Guxian said: "The laws of the Chu State are strict, and the Blood God Cult knows that if it resurrects again, it will be wiped out again by the Chu State."
"Therefore, this time, the Blood God Sect's sword took a different approach."
"They controlled the officials of Kezhou and arranged the followers of the Blood God Sect into the imperial court to serve as the garrison, escorts, government officials, city masters, etc. of the major cities."
"The city lords of the major cities have ordered that in order to eliminate dissidents and practice favoritism, they wantonly set sins on families and sects in major cities in Kezhou."
"Then they will send out troops disguised as the 'Blood God Cult' to carry out a devastating blow to these families and sects that have committed serious crimes."
"In this way, the Blood God Sect is equivalent to using the Chu Dynasty as a protective umbrella to flourish."
"Not only can they get the blood food offered to the Blood God, but they can also be exempted from the laws of the Chu Kingdom."
"Under this situation, every day and every night, countless families and sects in Kezhou are labeled as 'traitors', 'rebellions', 'disrespecting the Chu Kingdom' and other major crimes, and are punished by the Blood God.
He taught them to kill each other one after another."
"..."
Hearing this, Lin Bai shrank his eyes and exclaimed: "What a trick to hide the truth from the sky!"
