Baili Wuji clearly heard the change of the two titles in Gao Baoqiao's sentence.

"Fourth son, please ask."

"I want to ask the King of Chu, is the Jiangling Covenant with my father still valid?"

Baili Wuji was surprised, it seems that no one else knows about the secret conversation with Gao Congzhi that day, and even Gao Baorong doesn't know the way, how did Gao Baoxuan know? Could it be that Gao Congzhi told him? It shouldn't be, how could Gao Congzhi not tell Gao Baorong and tell Gao Baoxuan?

Baili Wuji was puzzled, settled his mind, and replied: "Since the fourth prince asked the king of Chu, then the king answered you, the matter of the covenant is made between the king and your father, since the fourth prince knows about this matter, he should remember that there is a premise on the covenant, that is, except for rebellion." ”

"King Chu, please answer so-and-so, can the Jiangling Covenant between the King of Chu and his father that day still be valid?" Gao Baoqiao asked.

"Since Nanping has broken the covenant, the covenant is naturally invalid." Baili Wuji replied.

Gao Baomiao sighed softly, disappointment on his face.

"If a certain dedicates the three states of Jingnan to the king of Chu, can the king of Chu be kind to Nanping and no longer pursue the matter of attacking Chu?"

"It's ......." Baili Wuji was asked.

The hatred of killing parents, killing the hatred of Baili Yi, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Chu State lost their lives for this, and the original idea of Baili Wuji must be to destroy the Gao clan and completely put the three states of Jingnan under the rule of Chu. But at the moment, Gao Baorong is holding Gao Rongrong and others hostage, so that Baili Wuji is in a dilemma.

"What does the fourth prince use to convince this king that you can dedicate the three states of Jingnan to this king?"

Gao Baoqiao took out a roll of brocade silk from his arms, and presented it to Baili Wuji with both hands, "King Chu, please take a look." ”

After Baili Wuji took the brocade silk, he slowly spread it out.

This is a will of Gao Congxue, which records in detail the Jiangling covenant between Gao Congzhi and Baili Wuji, and Gao Congzhi wrote down "If the son Gao Baorong succeeded to the king of Nanping, he rebelled and made Gao Baoxuan replace him." No descendant of the Gao clan shall violate this covenant during his lifetime. ”

The color of the handwriting of this sentence is obviously different from the color of the recorded covenant, and when Baili Wuji looked up at Gao Baoxuan, Gao Baoqiao explained that this was written by Gao Congzhi who cut his finger, and it was written in blood, as a sign of solemnity.

Baili Wuji began to think, and Gao Baoqiao waited on the side.

After a long time, Baili Wuji said: "This king doesn't understand a little, and I ask the fourth prince to explain." ”

Gao Baoqiao said: "It doesn't hurt for the King of Chu to ask. ”

"How did the fourth prince get this brocade silk?"

"It was the night after my father had a secret conversation with the King of Chu."

"Oh?"

"My father and the king of Chu actually knew in their hearts that the killer who assassinated the king of Chu that day was sent by Gao Baorong, and my father was worried that Gao Baorong would rebel and harm the Gao family, so he specially summoned me to advise and make this edict."

"That makes sense." Baili Wuji nodded, groaning in his heart.

"In this way, the fourth prince already has the will of the former king, why didn't he stop Gao Baorong when he rebelled?"

"As siblings, I couldn't bear to fry each other with the same root at that time, and I hoped that the king of Chu would forgive my sins."

Baili Wuji sneered: "I'm afraid that the fourth prince thought at the time, if Gao Baorong captured Tanzhou in a war, this will not be announced, right?" If Gao Baorong fails to go south, he can rely on his will to push the matter to Gao Baorong. The fourth son is really young and smart. ”

"No, no, the King of Chu misunderstood. I didn't know in advance that Lu Dao Gao Baorong and Sun Guangxian had laid out such a big situation, and besides, at that time, all the military power was in Gao Baorong's hands, so I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to. If this edict is rashly displayed, I will not have the life to meet the king of Chu today. ”

"Oh? Why did the four sons endure to fry each other with the same root today? ”

"Does the King of Chu know why I don't call the third brother by his first name?"

"What do you mean?"

"My father didn't die of illness, but Gao Baorong poisoned him to death." Looking at Gao Baoxuan's sad and indignant expression, Baili Wuji was a little convinced, and Gao Congzhi did die a little strangely.

"The night before my father died, he also talked to me about Ziqing, saying that Ziqing is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he wants me to be close to Ziqing after I succeed in the future, so as to ensure the wealth of the Gao family for several generations. also asked me to beware of Gao Baorong's rebellion in the future, and the killer who assassinated Ziqing was arranged by him. Let me protect my eldest brother and don't let Gao Baorong kill each other. But I didn't expect that my father died the next day, after my father died, it was Gao Baorong who first found out, at that time Gao Baorong only asked me to see my father's body, and no one else was allowed to enter, I saw that my father's lips were black, and it was clearly poisoned and died, but Gao Baorong said that my father died of illness. After that, I secretly investigated, and my father slept that night after I left, and he didn't go into his father's room with anyone except Gao Baorong. Who else can there be besides high security? ”

"So, Gao Baoxun was also killed by him?"

"Yes. was stabbed to death by Gao Baorong himself. I was there, but I didn't dare to dissuade it, so what was the use of daring to dissuade it? He dared to kill his own father, and who else could stop him? ”

"This king still can't figure it out, he is the son of the world, and the throne will be hiss sooner or later, why should he kill his father and usurp the throne?"

That's because he was afraid that his father would know that he assassinated Ziqing, and he was even more afraid that Ziqing would find him to take revenge after knowing Lu Dao, but he didn't know that his father and Ziqing had already known that he had done it. He was more worried that his father would abolish his position as the son of the world because of this, so after taking over the Jingnan Army, he also wanted to take over the Dingnan Capital, but his father refused several times. ”

Baili Wuji nodded and said, "You saw your father's death, and you also saw him kill Gao Baoxun, but he still didn't attack you, and after all, he still remembered brotherhood." ”

Gao Baomiao nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, maybe in his heart, in the whole world, only I, a fellow brother, is the most reliable person." But how can I forgive a man who killed his own father? ”

Baili Wuji also smiled bitterly, such a madman was once regarded as a brother by himself, how many people have died for him, people's hearts are unpredictable, and human nature is unpredictable.

Suddenly, Gao Baozheng knelt at the feet of Baili Wuji and cried: "The King of Chu is merciful, please forgive the Gao family's sins, and rebel against Gao Baorong's idea of only one person, Gao Baozheng and I did not participate, more than 100 members of the Gao family did not participate, and the soldiers of the Jingnan Army were only ordered to act." I also hope that the king of Chu will pardon the Gao family for his father's sake. ”

"By the way, I have found out that the death of the Baili envoy was an accident, and Gao Baorong did not order to kill the Baili envoy, but only ordered to capture Guizhou, capture the Baili envoy alive as a hostage, and threaten the king of Chu. I have secretly ordered someone to properly place the bodies of the two people, and they can be sent to the King of Chu at any time. ”

Hearing that the remains of his parents have been settled, Baili Wuji's heart is extremely painful, all along, Baili Wuji has always hoped for a miracle, hoping that the death of his parents is fake, but now it has been ruthlessly confirmed by Gao Baoqing.
