The prince's words were like a stone weighing on his heart, playing right into Xu Zun's heart.
Indeed, only by proving that the prince died at the hands of the Siren can Xu Zun have a better ending, otherwise he will be trapped in political struggles and will no longer be able to control his own destiny.
However, can the Queen Mother trust herself if she uses the siren to communicate?
"You see, Mr. Xu," the prince continued his analysis, "I am the only royal bloodline of Daxuan. The Queen Mother is old and cannot have any more children.
"Then my father has become the only hope for the Queen Mother to continue her bloodline, so my father cannot die and must continue the incense for the royal family. But is this incense surnamed Li or Lin?
"Besides, with my father's body, after being frightened by the catastrophe incident, can he still give birth to a bloodline for the royal family?
"So, the truth is often the cruelest," the prince said. "Even if the Queen Mother becomes the empress, she will be full of troubles. Do you think you will end well?
"It's better... to cooperate with me. Only this prince can inherit the throne and be able to stabilize the world. It's just and legitimate!"
"If you can safeguard the royal lineage of my Li family, you will certainly be an unparalleled achievement and you should be knighted!" Li Xun raised his hand and pointed to the door, vowing, "If Mr. Xu is worried that I am not sincere, I can tell you as soon as I come.
God swears, if you disobey Duke Xu, you will be punished by God!
"Secondly, I can also board the ship with you and discuss important matters together on your ship. How about that?"
"..." Xu Zun said nothing, but his expression was extremely rich, as if he was really thinking about Li Xun's proposal seriously.
"Sir, don't believe him," Huo Anu said bluntly, "Thousands of people have been silenced by him, let alone you who have harmed their good deeds?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Zhen turned his head and glared at Huo Anu, his angry eyes seeming to say: My little slave is so unruly, how can you speak here?
"Sister is right," unexpectedly, Ani, who was standing next to the Crown Princess on the other side, echoed, "I think these people are cruel and evil, so you should be careful!"
"You?" Kong Zhen looked at Ani, then turned to Xu Zun and said, "Master Xu, these guards are so uneducated, do they still need them to teach Master Xu what to do?"
This sentence is obviously trying to sow discord.
"This..." Xu Zun pretended to be embarrassed and waved to Huo Anu and Ani, asking them to stop making any noise.
"Hahaha..." At this time, the prince suddenly laughed again and said to Xu Zun, "Master Xu, I know that this matter is very important, and you need to treat it with caution.
"It doesn't matter. Although this situation is unusual, we have plenty of time.
Why don't I talk to you about something else?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Tianlong Inn," the prince first glanced at Kong Zhen and then said, "Your Excellency's previous analysis was wrong. This Tianlong Inn was not built by the Queen herself."
"Oh?" Xu Zun was stunned again, wondering why Li Xun suddenly mentioned Tianlong Inn?
I don’t know if he had other intentions or if he was deliberately stalling for time.
At this time, Li Xun and Kong Zhen exchanged a look, and Kong Zhen exhaled and said: "This Tianlong Inn was actually built by my father, and it has been nearly twenty years now."
Um?
Xu Zun was still puzzled, but he felt that the two men were singing in harmony, as if there was something in their words, so he secretly winked at Zhao Yu.
The smart Zhao Yu had already noticed it, and immediately walked around the hall with the Nine-wheel Soul-Revolving Sword to prevent any accidents from happening.
However, both he and Xu Zun were wrong. The prince and Kong Zhen were conspired when they spoke like this, but the conspiracy was not elsewhere, but in their words!
"Master Xu," the prince said, "although you are young, you should have heard about the assassination in the palace eighteen years ago, right?"
"What?"
Xu Zun was surprised and said in his heart, palace assassination? Japanese people? Why did you suddenly mention this?
"The real mastermind of that assassination incident was Tianlong Inn!" Li Xun said.
Is that so?
Xu Zun asked: "In other words, it was the Banshee Kingdom that planned the assassination. Why? Why the assassination?"
"Prince Daxuan was very powerful back then," Kong Zhen replied on his behalf. "The prince was young and the imperial power was unstable. If the emperor and the queen mother were assassinated, Daxuan would inevitably be in chaos."
"Oh?" Xu Zun frowned, "Then I still don't understand, so what if Daxuan is in chaos? Do you still want to invade Daxuan?"
"Humph," Kong Zhen sneered with a smile, "Your Excellency, I guessed wrong on this point. My father and I's long-cherished wish is just to unify the East China Sea.
"But those small countries rely on Daxuan, so they can only help us unify the East China Sea by taking advantage of the civil strife in Daxuan!"
"Oh..." Xu Zun pretended to understand and immediately inquired, "So, the civil strife in Izumo Country must have been ordered by Her Majesty the Queen, right?"
"So," Kong Zhen did not deny it, "you have to believe in the power of Tianlong Inn and joining forces with us will be beneficial to you!"
"Really?" Xu Zun chuckled, "You said all this just to make me believe that Tianlong Inn is great?"
"Of course not," the prince said, "Anyway, the assassination attempt eighteen years ago failed, so none of this is important!"
"Then what is the most important?" Xu Zun expressed curiosity.
"The most important thing, of course, is..." The prince paused suddenly, and then showed an evil and strange smile, "It's an iron coffin!"
ah?
As soon as the word "iron coffin" came out of his mouth, Xu Zun's heart seemed to be hit by something, and he suddenly showed an incredible expression.
How could this happen? At this juncture, why did Li Xun bring up the iron coffin again? What did he want to say?
"Isn't this incident too impressive for Mr. Xu?" Li Xun smiled steadily and said, "Yes, the fake Qiu Yongnian who was captured is from Tianlong Inn!"
oh……
Xu Zun thought quickly, and this theory was not new to him, because when the old monk from Zenyin Temple sang that mysterious song, Xu Zun had already thought that Qiu Yongnian was from Tianlong Inn.
However, what does the prince mean when he says it now?
Could it be that... he knew what was hidden in the iron coffin?
Yes, the fake Qiu Yongnian and his gang are from the Tianlong Inn, and their purpose is obviously to find the contents of the iron coffin.
If you don't know, then why bother?
"That is to say..." Xu Zun turned to Kong Zhen, "They are all members of Her Majesty the Queen. What are they going to do?"
"Wrong," the prince corrected, "Although they are all the queen's people, they are doing something for me!"
"What's the matter?" Xu Zun asked without hesitation, "What is in the iron coffin?"
Since he came to Daxuan, this iron coffin has been following him all the time, making him extremely eager to know what is inside the iron coffin?
When asking questions, Xu Zun glanced at Ku Niang unconsciously, because Ku Niang also came from an iron coffin.
However, Ku Niang still had an expressionless and icy look on her face, and the fierce and deep look in her eyes was as usual.
"No?" The prince smiled slightly, "Inside the iron coffin is the body of Imperial Master Qiu Dingtian. Don't you know this?"
"Really?" Xu Zun couldn't hide his excitement, "Is it really just Qiu Dingtian's body?"
"Yes," the prince said, "two years ago, all the forces in the court wanted to get this body! Even we were a step too late."
"Qiu Dingtian's body," Xu Zun murmured, "what secret does it hide?"
