There is no warning, the assassin comes and goes without a trace.
All that was known was that Wang Yuan was holding a dagger, and the dagger was deeply inserted into his own chest. Other than that, there was no sign of the murderer.
This is where the blame lies.
After Lu Qingbai and the two heard about it, they guessed that this incident was probably done by the Demon Cult. However, their people had just suffered losses in the West Factory, so why did they suddenly want to offend the East Factory?
Isn't the other party afraid that he will be strangled by the two factories?
After the third prince heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He needed Wang Yuan so much and was really afraid that Wang Yuan would have some shortcomings. Now that Wang Yuan was injured, he had no consciousness at all. In addition to being comatose all day long, what else?
I can't even get hungry anymore.
He was also very lucky, and he even stabbed a dagger into his chest, but he still didn't die.
After Zhao Xiaole found out, he immediately knew who did it. The other party controlled Qin Sining in the same way, but this time he killed himself, but after all, there was a slight deviation.
From this matter, Zhao Xiaole can draw a conclusion.
First of all, the opponent's strength in Beijing has indeed suffered some damage. If the person who previously controlled Qin Sining exerted his control this time, Wang Yuan would have died.
This control technique is not only difficult to practice, but also has extremely stringent requirements for its execution, making it indispensable.
Furthermore, there were internal conflicts among the enemy, especially from the point of view of attacking Xichang and murdering Wang Yuan.
The attack on Xichang can also be interpreted as impulsive. In order to save the believers, he could assassinate Wang Yuan, which is a completely crazy move.
This is completely different from the queen's previous hibernation.
Zhao Xiaole guessed that the Queen might not be able to completely control this group of people. They just did whatever they wanted to do.
But that's okay, I think the Queen is almost going crazy.
The chess game she had worked so hard for so long was actually destroyed by her own people, the so-called demon cultists, in a short period of time.
This assassination also revealed in advance the Queen's next goal, which was to occupy the East Factory.
Although Lu Qingbai and Ren Xiaoyao are now influential figures in the capital, compared with others, their foundations are too shallow after all.
While they thought that establishing Dongchang was to establish their own political power, it was also a delicious fruit in the eyes of others.
Like a child walking around with gold in his arms to cause trouble.
Zhao Xiaole was moved by such a good thing. It would be unforgivable if these two people were not robbed.
In the capital, the next move and the vortex of the storm will revolve around the control of Dongchang.
As for dealing with Zhao Xiaole, seeking revenge from the West Factory, and the Queen's goal of controlling the East Factory are not inconsistent.
Now that the prince supported by Zhao Xiaole is full-fledged, it is still difficult to kill the prince. It is easy first and then difficult. After taking Dongchang, it is also the right solution to turn around and deal with Zhao Xiaole.
Only then did Wang Yuan's assassination occur.
That night, after being repeatedly summoned, the third prince went to Dongchang in person and met with Lu Qingbai.
This meeting quite surprised Lu Qingbai.
"His Royal Highness, Third Prince, how can you go out at this time? Mr. Wang has just been assassinated, and the whereabouts of the murderer have not been found, but you must be careful." Lu Qingbai said half-truthfully.
Wang Yuan was assassinated, which invisibly helped him.
The time for him to fall out with the third prince was delayed a bit.
If he could improve this situation, Lu Qingbai would naturally seize the opportunity, especially at this time, he didn't want anything to happen to the third prince.
The third prince sighed, "It doesn't matter, I brought enough guards. I just regret one thing. When Liu Boer and Wang Yuan were both well, I should have paid more attention to them. Now that I have lost them, I feel
I regret it so much."
Lu Qingbai: "..."
Who can blame this?
What's the use of regretting it now after you've beaten a good hand to pieces?
It's really ugly to be sighing at this time.
After the third prince talked for a while, he spoke again: "Therefore, I have learned from the pain and decided to correct my past mistakes. To be honest, I used to criticize you and Ren Xiaoyao in my heart. Now, I have decided that I must trust you."
"Brother Shi, you two will be my right-hand men from now on. You will become the prime minister in the future, so you will naturally be much stronger than Liu Bern. And Ren Xiaoyao will continue to control Dongchang, so you can help me with soldiers."
"You will assist me in both civil and military affairs, and the world will be settled from now on."
The third prince spoke impassionedly above, while Lu Qingbai and Ren Xiaoyao secretly curled their lips when they heard it below.
What the hell?
What you lost in the beginning is lost forever. It's too late for you to cherish it now. Let us help you?
That's just using you.
Who will be your right-hand man?
Don't be kidding, it makes me sick just thinking about it.
But in terms of face, it was naturally impossible for him to do this. Lu Qingbai hugged the folding fan and said, "What the emperor said is reasonable. How dare I die if I don't obey?"
The third prince nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you continue to look after this family property for me. If I win the throne in the future, you two will be the biggest contributors. By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, you
Father wrote to me."
Lu Qingbai was stunned, "My father wrote to you?"
King Pingxi wrote a letter to the third prince, but did not tell him what was going on? Is there any secret in it?
The third prince saw his doubts and smiled: "Your father has already promised that he can send troops to help me at any time in the future. With this letter, how can I doubt your father's loyalty again?"
This letter is indeed written by King Pingxi. No matter how stupid the third prince is, he will not make a mistake on this kind of thing.
Moreover, those who conspired to rebel would be punished by beheading. King Pingxi could give various hints to the third prince, but he could never write to him directly.
Because what if the Third Prince's boat capsizes?
This letter is equivalent to a petition and accusation. Once the third prince is finished, and the court gets this letter, King Pingxi will be finished with him.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingbai's heart was pounding and he was sweating profusely.
He finally understood why the third prince's attitude had changed completely. With this letter, what else could there be to question King Pingxi's loyalty?
What else is there to question Lu Qingbai’s loyalty?
As long as the third prince is finished, they won't be able to survive for a few days.
Lu Qingbai didn't even notice how the third prince left. He was completely distracted by the letter.
This is impossible!
King Pingxi would not be so stupid!
No matter how stupid he is, he can't do such a thing?
Lu Qingbai could not imagine that even a three-year-old child could not do such a stupid thing.
The image of Wang Yuan holding a dagger suddenly appeared in his mind.
