Chapter 597: A Strange Edict

"What? Is the Dongying army really planning to attack the city in Zishi? Feng Changqing said in surprise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Qi Yunhe nodded vigorously, and said solemnly: "They really said that, according to what they said, the grain and grass of the Dongying army have been exhausted by this heavy snow, and they are about to run out of it, so they plan to fight to the death and want to capture the city!" ā€

"How's that for good? Marshal, please have an idea! Gao Xianzhi slammed his fists heavily and said to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai frowned, and after thinking about it, he said: "The defense of the north gate is relatively weak, so immediately send 10,000 more people to defend it!" ā€

"Ten thousand? But in this case, the strength of the other three gates will become weak. Gao Xianzhi frowned.

"It doesn't matter, the fortifications of the other three gates have been completed, and they can resist for a while, but the north gate is different, the defense of the north gate is weak, if the Dongying army attacks from the north gate, the consequences are unimaginable. At present, General Huangfu's army is still far away, and we can only have a glimmer of life if we hold on to this city. Li Canghai said.

"In that case, let's go and let people build fortifications!" Gao Xianzhi said solemnly.

Li Canghai nodded, and after handing over the defense of the city to Gao Xianzhi, the few of them returned to the palace.

Back at the palace, Li Canghai locked himself in his room, carefully recalling the whole process of the murder of the king of Silla.

The king of Silla did not die in the battle with Dongying, nor did he die in the onset of his wounds, but died when he was about to choose his successor to the throne, which is by no means accidental in the eyes of Li Canghai.

And what makes Li Canghai most puzzled is why he chose the third prince Xizhen to inherit the throne, judging from the conversation between the two on the night before King Silla's death, the succession to the throne of King Silla should be between the eldest prince Hee Tae and the second prince Xi Won, but how did it become the third prince Xi Zhen?

Li Canghai suddenly remembered a brocade box given to him by the king of Silla, and asked him to open it at the right time.

Li Canghai hurriedly found the brocade box, and said in his heart, isn't it the right time now?

Thinking of this, Li Canghai directly opened the brocade box and took out the contents stored inside.

But when he saw what was inside, he was astonished, and then he became even more puzzled.

He rubbed his eyebrows, then put the things back into the brocade box, and then picked up the edict and read it carefully.

Although Yi Canghai had known the king of Silla for a short time, he had seen his handwriting, and it was certain that the handwriting on this edict was indeed written by the king of Silla.

But since he had seen the contents of the brocade box, he was somewhat puzzled by this edict.

Again, why did the king of Silla leave the throne to the third prince since he valued the eldest prince and the second prince?

Li Canghai thought about it in the room for more than an hour, and when it was close to noon, Di Qing walked in with a tray of dishes.

"Canghai, it's noon, it's time for lunch." Di Qing put down the plate, and then said to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai was staring at the edict carefully, he was holding the edict in his left hand, and his right hand was stretched out to the food box, but his eyes were not far from the edict.

Suddenly, his outstretched right hand was slapped violently.

"Canghai, you have ink on your hands, why don't you eat it without washing it? Wait, I'll bring you a basin of water. With that, Di Qing walked out.

Li Canghai realized that when he wrote out the clues he found, he inadvertently stained his hands with a lot of ink.

After a while, Di Qing walked in with a basin of water.

"Canghai, wash your hands and eat!" Di Qing saw that Li Canghai was still studying the edict, and she was immediately a little annoyed.

"yes, okay." Although Li Canghai said that his mouth was good, his eyes were still staring at the edict, and he was indifferent at all.

Di Qing's small mouth suddenly pouted, she took the water basin, put it on the table angrily, grabbed Li Canghai's hand and put it into the basin.

Li Canghai was holding the edict with both hands at this time, and he was suddenly dragged by Di Qing's right hand, and he was dragged into the basin with the edict!

At this moment, the two of them were stunned at the same time.

"This is an edict of succession, but it can't be destroyed!" Li Canghai screamed, and hurriedly reached out to fish out the edict from the water, carefully blowing the water droplets on it.

Di Qing also knew that she was in trouble, she looked at Li Canghai blankly and stammered, "Canghai...... I, I didn't mean to. I...... I just want you to wash your hands....... ā€

"Qing'er, I don't blame you, quickly light the candle, and while the handwriting is still there, it can be dried and dried!" Li Canghai was blowing water droplets, so he said urgently.

When Di Qing heard this, she hurriedly walked to the candlestick and lit the candle.

Li Canghai held the edict in both hands, cautiously approached the candlestick, and slowly roasted it with the help of the heat of the candle.

Roasting and roasting, Li Canghai suddenly found that the corners of a few words on the edict were actually warped.

Li Canghai hesitated, then stretched out his finger and picked the corner of one of the words.

What he didn't expect was that the word was directly picked up by him!

It was a thumb-sized, cropped square piece of paper, and the word was in the square piece of paper.

In addition to this one word, there are several other words, which are also written on thumb-sized pieces of paper.

"Yikes! What's going on? Why did this edict melt away even the words after seeing the water? Di Qing looked at the edict in surprise and said in disbelief.

Li Canghai looked at the words on his fingers, rolled his eyes a few times, and said deeply: "It's not that the handwriting has been melted, but that the edict has been decomposed." ā€

"The edict was broken down? What does that mean? Di Qing grabbed her hair bun and said puzzled.

Li Canghai didn't answer her, but frowned, lowered his head and said to himself: "If that's the case, then the murderer ...... Could it really be him? However, if the murderer is him, what is the matter with Hee-tae going crazy? Being able to lift a 500-pound giant tripod is not something ordinary people can do! What's going on here? ā€

"Canghai, I think you need to rest. I'm really afraid you're going to go crazy too! Di Qing said solemnly.

"Crazy? How could I go crazy? Li Canghai said to himself.

"Of course you're driving yourself crazy? Canghai, you should relax, don't think about anything today, let's go out to enjoy the snow! Di Qing said.

"Snow appreciation? All right. Li Canghai lowered his head and said subconsciously.

Di Qing was overjoyed and immediately pushed him out.

Li Canghai clasped his hands in his sleeves, bowed his head all the way and thought about the case, but he didn't even raise his head.

The two walked all the way down the corridor, and unconsciously came to Jingyang Palace.

The body of the king of Silla is still placed in the main hall of Gyeongyang Palace. (To be continued.) )
