When Prince Li Xun, who was wearing Taoist robes, appeared in front of everyone, everyone seemed to have been immobilized, staring at him intently, with surprise written on their faces.
No one expected that the Prince Daxuan they were looking for was actually hiding in the palace of the Banshee Kingdom, just a stone's throw away from them.
Especially the princess in purple clothes was stunned after seeing Li Xun, as if she had seen a ghost!
She tried to stand up and go to her husband to greet him, but after much hesitation, she still couldn't stand up.
Because she saw that Li Xun ignored her as his first wife and never looked at her. Instead, he kept staring at Xu Zun after asking questions.
"Master Xu," the prince asked in a deep voice, "how did you see through it? In my opinion, there seems to be no flaw!"
"What if..." Xu Zun stabilized his mind, quickly adjusted his thoughts, and then mused, "My guess is good, His Royal Highness is playing a big game of chess!"
"Oh?" Li Xun stared at Xu Zun, but his face was calm, "I would like to hear the details, and let me experience the style of Da Xuanti's executioner!"
"Your Highness," Xu Zun nodded slightly, and then said, "If I guess correctly, you should have a cooperative relationship with two forces. One is the female country leader Kong Zhen and her intelligence network, and the second is
...That’s it—Xuanmen!”
As soon as these words came out, the scene became even more silent.
The meaning of these words is obvious: Prince Li Xun is a traitor to Xuanmen.
If it were not for this occasion, Xu Zun's words would be completely disrespectful, and the prince would have killed Xu Zun on the spot!
But the situation was different now. The prince didn't show any sign of anger or anger, and his face still looked leisurely and calm.
"First you deliberately wrote an article that was disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and then you pretended to be panicked," Xu Zun continued, "and then you took the opportunity to ask for permission to visit the East China Sea.
"Your purpose is not to fear that the Queen Mother will punish you, but..." Xu Zun has already entered the state and said seriously, "but to avoid an opportunity, an important opportunity!"
After speaking, Xu Zun paused for a few seconds.
According to common sense, at this time, the prince should follow up and say, "When is the time?" However, the prince at this moment did not respond at all.
Well, after a little embarrassment, Xu Zun had to ask and answer himself: "This important opportunity is - the catastrophe of the Holy City!"
After hearing this, the prince finally had an expression on his face, but it was not one of fear or anxiety, but rather an expression of amusement that was indescribable.
"You have cooperated with Xuanmen for a long time," Xu Zun continued. "You know that Xuanmen is going to launch the Holy Capital Heavenly Tribulation incident, so you must stay away from the court to avoid suspicion.
"If Operation Heavenly Tribulation succeeds and the Holy Emperor returns to the throne, you will return from the East China Sea and become Daxuan's legitimate crown prince, and you will no longer have to worry about losing your status.
"Even," Xu Zun saw that he had already shown his cards, he expressed his speculation, "you can also use your connections to control the court and become the true ruler of Daxuan!
"Your Highness, I wonder if my guess is correct?"
Prince Li Xun smiled slightly and did not comment.
Kong Zhen became interested and asked faintly: "If it is as you said, what happened when the mission was attacked?"
"The attack on the mission seems difficult to understand, but if you think about the prince's psychology, it becomes logical," Xu Zun said. "The prince knows that the disaster plan can only succeed but not fail, otherwise he will never be able to return to Daxuan.
"Based on the Queen Mother's ability, it is impossible for her to not think that the Heavenly Tribulation is related to the Prince, especially..." Xu Zun looked at the Prince and said, "Only the Holy One knows about the secret room in Wanfu Palace, and the Holy One only told one person about it.
This person is His Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing this, the prince's face finally showed a look of surprise. He obviously did not expect that Xu Zun even knew about the secret room.
"Therefore, before the natural disaster, the prince must make two preparations," Xu Zun said. "He must find a reason why he will never be able to go back if the natural disaster fails.
"And my Daxuan Navy is invincible in the world. It would be very difficult not to go back.
"Ordinary disappearances, illness or minor accidents obviously cannot be justified, so you just thought of the Kraken!
"Only when the mission is attacked by a sea monster can it look more reasonable.
"So," Xu Zun turned to Kong Zhen and said, "You will join forces with Kong Zhen to set up this sea monster to cause trouble and let my Daxuan mission sink in the East China Sea!
"In this way," he looked at the prince, "His Royal Highness can advance and retreat without any risk!
"If the catastrophe succeeds, then you will return to Daxuan as a survivor.
"If the Heavenly Tribulation fails, you will disappear from the East China Sea and everyone will think that you have been eaten by the sea monster!
"Your Highness," Xu Zun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you right?"
The reason why Xu Zun kept asking questions was because he wanted to use Li Xun's reaction to make a judgment.
By this time, neither Li Xun nor Kong Zhen had any need to pretend.
After hearing Xu Zun's inference, Li Xunyi finally changed and gritted his teeth bitterly and said:
"The Queen Mother is indeed powerful, no wonder she wants to send you to the East China Sea!"
this……
Suddenly, Xu Zun heard the hidden message in Li Xun's words, and his heart trembled slightly, also feeling strange.
yes!
The Queen Mother sent me to the East China Sea. Her purpose was obviously not to find the Prince, but to let herself find out the hidden information behind the Prince.
In other words, the Queen Mother already knew that the Prince had a problem?
"Really... is it true?" At this time, Crown Princess Tian Jing could no longer hold back. Her eyes widened and she stared at Li Xun in surprise and asked, "Prince, what Mr. Xu said is true.
of?"
Finally, Li Xun glanced at the Crown Princess, but he also glanced at her lightly, as if he was looking at a passerby.
"The Daxuan Mission, so many officials, soldiers, and followers," Tian Jing said excitedly, "just because of your selfish desires, they all... all died! That's thousands of lives, you... how can you
Can this be done?
"And... and..." she shed tears, "and the Tianfu giant ship we are on, you... you actually want to silence me and let me be buried with you for your ambition, you... hello
How cruel!"
"Humph," Li Xun snorted coldly, "It's not easy for me either! I didn't expect that the Tianfu giant ship was so strong that the bow of the ship exploded, but it didn't sink?"
The prince's indifference made everyone present feel chilly.
The Crown Princess also felt this indifference and knew that her complaints were useless, so she simply sat back in her seat and turned her head to one side.
"Isn't that right?" Xu Zunze suppressed his excitement and continued, "You have painstakingly planned the big drama of the sea monster's attack, so why don't you leave some witnesses?
"According to my speculation, there are people from the Prince on board the Wanfu giant ship," Xu Zun said. "After the accident, you asked them to drive the seriously injured Tianfu giant ship to a remote island in the East China Sea, and then used the excuse of repairing the ship.
Spend time waiting for the results of the catastrophe operation.
"No matter whether Operation Heavenly Tribulation succeeds or fails, they will eventually sail back to Daxuan," Xu Zun said. "If it succeeds, they will be heroes and will welcome the prince in the holy capital.
"If you lose, then pretend to be an innocent survivor and explain the authenticity of the Kraken to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother will believe that the mission was attacked by the Kraken and the prince was also killed by the Kraken.
"Your Highness," Xu Zun raised his eyes and stared at Li Xun, "do you think this explanation is more reasonable?"
