"Many years ago, we were laying out Xuanmen's relationship network, recruiting some important officials and princes from various places," Li Ren said, "either threatening them with evidence of their crimes, or using them to attack others.
Queen Lin's hatred tempted her to join.
"I guess you have already guessed a lot about who these people are," Li Rendao, "For example, the Minister of Industry, Ying Zang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Yan Hai, General Chai Zheng of the Yulin Guard, Xue Guihua, the Duke of Liang, and the transfer envoy, Supervisor
Envoys, wardens, etc., these are actually our people!"
"What?" Xu Zun asked, "Isn't there Shui Ling Cheng Cao Ding?"
"Yes," Li Ren replied, "This person has no desires and no flaws. I can only send people to be placed around him in order to take advantage of him."
"Ah? Xue Guihua..." Cai Kun was deeply surprised, "Is Liang Guogong one of yours too?"
"Why not?" Li Ren said bitterly, "As the late emperor's uncle, you have to look at the eyes of Queen Lin everywhere and grovel, where is your dignity?"
"But...but..." Cai Kun asked excitedly, "Since we are your people, you...even kill your own people!?"
"So what's the problem?" Li Ren asked, "How many of our own people have been killed by your internal guards? You don't know how many of them you have?"
"You!" Cai Kun asked angrily, "Quickly tell me, apart from these assassinated people, who else is one of your people?"
Seeing that Cai Kun was irritated, Xu Zun quickly winked at him.
At this time, you must not let the other party lead you away from the rhythm, otherwise it will be difficult to ask the real situation.
"Who else?" Li Ren smiled slyly, "Didn't you already capture Bi Sheng? I don't need to say more, you must know that Bi Sheng is not the only one in the Holy Capital.
"Three Law Departments, Cabinet, Sixth Department, Fifth Supervisor, Divine Catcher Department, Prince's Mansion... Haha... You should check it out carefully!"
"Okay, we will investigate carefully." Xu Zun quickly took over the conversation and continued to ask along the train of thought, "After you have laid out these arrangements, the next step is to carry out the natural disaster?
"The first step is a large-scale assassination. Do you want to use the assassination to cause chaos in the Holy City?"
"That's right," Li Ren was indeed brought back into rhythm by Xu Zun. He immediately put away his smile and said angrily, "It's a pity that I... still underestimated Queen Lin's strength. I thought I was assassinating all those who opposed her. In this way
It can arouse the public anger of the officials and trigger civil strife in the Holy Capital.
"For this reason, I also deliberately let the assassin who assassinated Xu Yusheng, the Minister of War, fail, just to arouse mutual suspicion between them.
"When the Holy City is in chaos, we will carry out the heavenly tribulation, so that we can be sure of victory, but we didn't expect...sigh..." Li Ren sighed, with a gloomy look on his face, "Queen Lin actually directly lifted the emperor out to block the gun, shocking him.
World, this move is really beyond my...expectations!"
"So..." Xu Zun continued, "You temporarily changed your plan and asked the warden to create an explosion at Taiping Gate to attract the Imperial Guards into the city?"
"That's right," Li Ren said, "the more people there are, the more effective the magic medicine can be."
"The magic medicine..." Cai Kun asked, "How did you transport it into the Holy Capital?"
After asking, Cai Kun realized that he had asked nonsense. Since the transport envoy and Yu Linwei were both from Xuanmen, it would not be difficult to transport several boxes of medicine.
"The magic medicine was already in place a few months ago," Li Ren said, stroking his gray beard, "and I placed it in various Forbidden Army camps in preparation for an uprising.
"Actually..." he said sadly, "if it weren't for the difficulty of refining this magical medicine, I would have brought it into the palace or given it to ordinary people for use! That way the effect would naturally be better, but it's a pity...
"The raw materials for this medicine are too scarce. Even though we have been preparing for so many years, we have only made so much.
"Moreover, the properties of the medicine are extremely unstable," Li Ren added. "Sometimes it poisons people to death, and sometimes it fails."
"It's the same as..." Xu Zun asked again, "There are two lines of disaster, one is to use poison to create chaos; the other is to use underground passages to sneak into Wanfu Palace to assassinate?"
"Yes," Li Ren said, "It's a pity that Qi Xiang'er disappointed me so much!
"I had an agreement with her that as soon as she saw Queen Lin, and as long as she could confirm Queen Lin's identity, she would kill her immediately to avoid future troubles.
"But in the end...she didn't do what I said...she...actually wanted to bring Queen Lin out..."
"Qi Xiang'er wants revenge," Xu Zun said, "but your grand plan is to bring Li back to the throne. This difference in philosophy led to your failure!
"I just don't understand..." Xu Zun deliberately asked in an understatement, "How could you possibly know that there is a secret room in the main hall of Wanfu Palace?"
Hearing this, Li Ren paused for a moment, then stared at Xu Zun and said with a smile: "Haha... I shouldn't be the one who knows the secret room, right?"
This sentence does not mean that it was not said, at least it shows that Li Ren did know that the Queen Mother would hide in that secret room.
"So..." Xu Zun asked decisively, "All of this is because the Holy Spirit is supporting you behind the scenes?"
"Hahaha, it's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers," Li Ren glared at Xu Zun and said, "How dare you say such a thing!?"
"Xu Zun..." Cai Kun was so frightened that he quickly signaled Xu Zun not to speak nonsense.
In fact, Xu Zun had a solid foundation in his heart. He had long known that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the emperor, because if the emperor was also involved, there was no need for them to make it so complicated.
All you need to do is find a way to poison the Queen Mother, or secretly transport the assassin into the palace, and it will be done.
"Mr. Lushan," Cai Kun said to Li Ren, "it's all over! You have completely failed. Come back to the Inner Guards with us!"
"Humph!" Li Ren snorted coldly and did not move.
"Mr. Lushan," Xu Zun motioned to Cai Kun to wait for a moment, and then asked, "Why didn't I see Lu Jinlong's people during this catastrophe operation? Where are they?"
"Maybe..." Li Ren smiled secretly, "After I die, Lu Jinlong will be the Heavenly Lord? Hahaha...hahahaha..."
After saying that, Li Ren looked up to the sky and laughed, making people feel very uncomfortable.
"Stop laughing," Xu Zun said coldly, "Do you really think that we will be fooled by you? You are not at all - Xuanmen Tianzun!!!"
ah!?
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Li Ren's laughter also stopped abruptly.
"At best, you are just the person in charge of the Heavenly Tribulation Plan. Perhaps, we can call you Taoist Master of the Holy City," Xu Zun said, "Your mission is just to meet the Xuanmen rebels and ensure that they successfully complete their mission.
There is absolutely no way you are Xuanmen Tianzun!"
"You..." Li Ren's face turned red and he glared angrily, "Why do you say that?"
"There was a flaw in what you just said," Xu Zun said. "You paused many times when using the words I and we.
"You originally wanted to say 'we', but when you thought about how you would mislead us and think you were the Xuanmen Heavenly Lord, you changed it to 'I'!"
"You..." Li Ren was stunned and stared at Xu Zun in disbelief, "Just... just these two words?"
"Has the secret been revealed?" Xu Zun pointed at Li Ren and said, "Your reaction now shows that I was right! You are indeed not the Xuanmen Tianzun..."
