Chapter 426: I Have a Way
She still remembers his experience in the letters Xu Jing sent to her, from the initial pawn, step by step to the centurion, the thousand-commander, and finally the only one to become a veritable brave general.
And at that time, he was only twenty-four years old, and he still had a lot of time and opportunity to temper himself and become the strongest existence.
Since that person could easily cover Wen Chan to kill her, why couldn't he simply get rid of Xu Jing?
In addition to him, isn't it more valuable than removing Zhang Ying?
"But there was still a Wen Chan in the Zhang family back then, what if Xu Jing accepted Wen Chan at that time?" Qi Jiu heard this, and after pondering for a while, he decisively asked questions.
"Moreover, if Emperor Yongding and Zhang Xu really had the intention of joining forces to govern the dynasty at that time, even if they did not marry, they could join forces. β
Shen Xi shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since it is a marriage, it naturally has the effect of caring for and restraining each other.
"Don't think that because you have been with me for a long time, patriotic people like the Zhang family and the Xu family have no calculations in their hearts.
"The more powerful people are, the more calculating they are, because they have more to worry about and maintain.
"In this case, having an in-law relationship as a constraint will be relatively stable.
"As for what you said about Xu Jing accepting Wen Chan-"
Speaking of this, she turned to look at her: "First of all, I know that Xu Jing doesn't like Wen Chan.
"Secondly, if Wen Chan really marries in the past, it will only be good for the person behind her, but there will be no harm. Maybe, he really looks forward to letting Wen Chan marry instead of me.
"Because he has the handle of Wen Chan to kill me, it is enough to control her.
"Since his purpose is to destroy Great Qin, then if Wen Chan becomes the wife of the prince of Anguo, who is in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, it must be of some use to him.
So he would have hoped that Wen Chan would succeed.
But when Wen Chan failed, he found out that he overestimated her, and later she became an outcast for him. β
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, things have changed to such a point that even this person has disdained to use her.
After all, since Prince Cheng's Mansion was assassinated again, there has been no such incident in Jingshi.
Qi Jiu hung his head for a long time, and then asked: "If the marriage of the Zhang family and the Xu family was to cooperate with the Great Qin Dynasty to form a strong political guarantee, then even if the Zhang family has no young lady, the Xiao family still has it."
"If Queen Xiao's maiden family gave Miss to Xu Jing again, what would this person do?"
Shen Xi was silent for a moment and said, "Naturally, Miss Xiao ended up like me. β
She stretched out her hand and folded the orchid, and then said: "If my guess is right, as long as the young lady of the Xiao family of the Zhang family marries, or the young lady of the Xu family marries, she will inevitably end up dying."
"So I feel more and more that my death was not an accident, and Wen Chan is just a pure executioner.
"If Wen Chan hadn't succeeded that day, or had flinched from the battle, the knife hidden in the shadows would have cut my throat.
"So fortunately, no one in our two families married the Xu family again, otherwise, there would only be more tragedies like this. β
Poor Wen Chan thinks she is a big winner, but in fact she is just a pawn that others don't want. Of course, there is no denying that she is still very lucky.
Qi Jiu circled his chest and carefully sorted out the reason again before raising his head again: "If this is the case, many things can be explained." β
For example, why was the body humiliated on the night of the death of Prince Cheng's mansion, and it was carried out unknowingly......
"In this way, doesn't this person have a lot to do with the Tuoba Army?!"
Otherwise, how could they leave no traces? Moreover, his purpose was to destroy the Great Qin! Where would he be if he was not in the Great Zhou army?
"Is it possible...... Could this person be Li Ingot?!"
Her mind fluctuated several times, as if she had rolled in succession in these questions.
"Li Ingot is only five years older than King Yan, how can it be him? Even if he is still alive now, at least he should be Wen Chan's age. β
Shen Xi laughed, but she immediately smiled again.
Seeing this, Qi Jiu hurriedly said, "What did you think of again?"
She shook her head, her brow.
After a while, he said, "Let's talk about Xu Jing first."
"I heard the old lady say that based on the situation of the attack on the dock and the prince, the other party seems to be coming at Helan and Huo Zhen.
"The prince also once said that the person suspected of being the perpetrator was related to the incident in Prince Cheng's mansion, so-"
Speaking of this, she looked up at her deeply: "Why did they find Helan and them?"
Qi Jiu's heart moved slightly, and he said, "What do you mean?"
"You should remember that I once told you that Helan Zhen and Xu Jing look very similar. β
Shen Xi's speech slowed down, but he was strangely dignified.
"If the other party's target is Helan Chen and Huo Jiu, then I prefer to believe that it is for Helan Chen.
"Because if the person behind this is the same person, he must recognize Helan Zhen and Xu Jing have the same appearance, and when he sees He Lan Chen, won't he have any doubts about him?!"
Qi Jiu was stunned, as if he had even stopped breathing.
"Are you saying that not only did that person not die, but now he is still eyeing Helan Chen?
"But if that's the case, then why is it at this time? Why didn't he act so many years ago?"
"That's what I don't understand. Shen Xi's eyes were deep.
"But I guess he didn't move before, maybe because he didn't have any doubts about his origins.
"After all, Helan Zhen's bottom line, King Yan, must know that King Yan is one of the main generals who destroyed Great Qin, and it is impossible for him to reuse a person with a suspicious background.
"As for his recent sudden moveβ
"Then either something happened recently that alarmed him, who had been dormant for a long time, and made him suddenly deepen his suspicion of Helan Zhen, for example, he was suspecting that he was Xu Jing's resurrection......"
Shen Xi's eyes burned, and suddenly they were unusually bright.
Qi Jiu held his breath for a while and said, "But this is speculation after all, this kind of thing is rare, and Helan has denied it so many timesβyou won't believe it, right?"
"Maybe it's an excuse?" she bit her lower lip.
Qi Jiu paused slightly, and slowed down his tone: "But he also clearly told you that he has someone he likes, and he is just an ordinary friend to you, and the world also knows about this."
"If he was Xu Jing, it would be impossible for him to hear Xu Xiaoqi and not recognize you. β
"No, what you say is more doubtful evidence. She argued.
"I didn't say I liked him, why did he tell me that he had someone else he liked? Why was he afraid that I wouldn't believe it, and that the son of the world also knew?
Qi Jiu was stunned: "Why did the son of the world also help him lie?"
Shen Xi paused.
After a while, she said again: "He is jealous, maybe he just said this to prevent me from having any half-hearted thoughts about Helan Chen." β
Qi Jiu sighed.
"I just found out today that you are so stubborn. β
Shen Xi bit his lip and smiled again.
Instead, she gradually suppressed her smile, looked out the window and muttered, "I'll find a way to confirm my suspicions." β[.]
