Chapter Seventy-Two: Or Beiyan
"What is possible? Tell me what you've come up with! Gao Yan was suddenly a little anxious.
Wen Jin didn't rush to say what he thought in his heart, but asked first: "Are the assassins you caught before still there?" I have something to ask them! β
"Well, you're still in the dungeon of Dali Temple, I can take you there now." After finishing speaking, the two of them moved out of the palace, and then went to Dali Temple.
It's just that they came to play a step, and they confessed that the three assassins had committed suicide by poisoning, so Wen Jin thought that his conjecture was not wrong.
"Sure enough, we're still late, these three people have already completed their mission, so they definitely won't live for long!" , Wen Jin said with some regret.
Gao Yan was still a little confused at the moment, he didn't know what Wen Jin meant by what he said, "Please don't sell it, tell me what everything is going on!" β
The corners of Wen Jin's mouth rose slightly, and then he said slowly: "Actually, the person behind this matter, his purpose is just to make Yunxi injured, I recall that at that time, although the assassin wanted to stab me in the vital point with every sword, he didn't use all his strength." β
"Yunxi, she has always been the pearl of Li Houzhao's palm, few people have seen her true face, and the assassin only knows one thing, that is, she is your Gao Yan's fiancΓ©e. And Gao Yan is served by the female dependents of things, so the female dependents around you must be Yunxi, the thoughts of the assassin's heart. β
"And as long as the assassins stab Yunxi, the next step will be to spread the news in the Southern Tang Dynasty, saying that Yunxi was assassinated in the Northern Qi, what do you guess Li Houzhao's reaction will be after hearing the news?"
Gao Yan pondered for a moment, "Yunxi is injured, he must be extremely nervous in his heart, he is very likely to send his cronies to Northern Qi to visit Yunxi to ensure Yunxi's safety." β
"That's natural, Li Houzhao is the king of a country, even if he loves this daughter again, it is impossible for him to leave state affairs behind and come to Beiqi to visit his daughter in person. He will definitely send his son Li Yuqi, who is also Yunxi's elder brother, to envoy Northern Qi, so what do you say will happen next after Li Yuqi comes to Northern Qi? Wen Jin then asked.
"After Li Yuqi came, he must first visit Yunxi's injury, and then he will definitely ask, Northern Qi is not effective in protecting Yunxi, I hope Northern Qi can give a reasonable explanation!" , Gao Yan replied.
"You are only half right, the marriage between you and Yunxi has been delayed for a long time, although Yunxi has been living in Yonghua Palace to be married, and it is only a matter of time before he marries you, but this time since Li Yuqi has come to Northern Qi, he must see you and Yunxi get married, and he can return to Jinling City with peace of mind!" , Wen Jin immediately said.
Gao Yan suddenly woke up like a dream, and he had been thinking about what Wen Jin had just said, indeed his marriage with Yunxi had dragged on for more than a year, and the reason why Li Houzhao had not urged him to marry was because Yunxi had always insisted on postponing the wedding.
But if Yunxi is really stabbed and recuperates in Yonghua Palace, then Li Houzhao will definitely send someone to visit Yunxi, if it is Li Yuqi who visits in person, then in addition to visiting Yunxi, he must definitely finalize Yunxi's marriage, after all, if the wedding is delayed again and again, Yunxi's reputation will also be greatly affected, and it will also damage the face of Nantang and Li Houzhao.
At this moment, Gao Yan finally understood, but he still couldn't figure it out: "Why did the assassin only flee from him after the assassination failed, and the remaining three remained in the city?" β
"This is also a question that I have been thinking about, so I want to come and interrogate the three of them personally, according to common sense, since the other party hired four assassins to assassinate Yecheng, then they should act together, but only one assassin died that night, and after the assassination failed, he fled, while the remaining three stayed in the city, as if waiting for you to arrest him!" , Wen Jin said, and at the same time wondered why.
Gao Yan also fell into deep thought, he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for a while. At this time, Wen Jin suddenly said: "Let's think about this matter later, although the assassin has failed to assassinate him, he can also spread the news in Jinling City, saying that Yunxi was assassinated in Northern Qi, I dare not believe that this matter is true or false, I guess Li Houzhao will send someone to envoy Northern Qi, you have to be prepared." β
"Well, I understand that in fact, the other party's purpose is to promote the marriage between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi, not to break the alliance between the Northern Qi and the Southern Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Houzhao sends his cronies to visit the Northern Qi, the marriage between me and Yunxi will definitely be established. But why did this person have to promote the marriage between the Northern Qi and the Southern Tang, and what was his purpose! Gao Yan continued.
"This matter is indeed a bit complicated, but the other party's intention is obvious, that is, that you and Yunxi get married as soon as possible, so as to avoid problems with the marriage between Northern Qi and Southern Tang. In this world, I like the marriage of Northern Qi and Southern Tang the most, and I don't care about the safety of Yunxi, who do you think it will be? Wen Jin then asked.
"I don't know, this person doesn't know anything about Yunxi, and he actually wants to use the method of stabbing Yunxi to speed up my marriage with Yunxi, it must not be a person from the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi, and Liu Yishan of the Later Han Dynasty should not want to see that I and Yunxi got married, because in this way the alliance between the Southern Tang and the Northern Qi is more stable, which is actually very unfavorable to the Later Han, so I really can't guess who the other party is!" , the more Gao Yan thought about it, the more complicated he felt, for so many years, he had never encountered such a difficult case.
"Yes, the strangest thing about this matter is here, the other party's purpose is to promote the marriage of the Northern Qi and the Southern Tang, and the people who hope this thing can be successful are your father and Li Houzhao, but they don't want to see Yunxi injured the most, and Liu Yishan is likely to assassinate Yunxi, but he doesn't want to see the marriage of the Northern Qi and the Southern Tang Dynasty." , asked Jin to follow Gao Yan's words.
"Are we ignoring the Northern Yan, although the Northern Yan has not cared about the Central Plains before, but now the Northern Yan is gradually becoming stronger, if the Southern Tang Dynasty and my Northern Qi form a good relationship between Qin and Jin. Then the Later Han Dynasty may win over the Northern Yan, so that the Northern Yan can also take advantage of the momentum of the Later Han Dynasty to take the opportunity to develop and grow, do you think what I said makes sense? Gao Yan was suddenly a little excited, and said with sharp eyes.
"Well, what you said does have some truth, I have fought with the Northern Yan army before, and it is true that in addition to their internal discord, they have indeed not been as weak as before in other aspects over the years, especially after Murong Yun ascended the throne, he has been working hard and working hard, and his ambition is indeed not small!" , Wen Jin agreed with Gao Yan's statement in his heart, Northern Yan can not be ignored now, and Murong Yun really wants to see the marriage of Southern Tang and Northern Qi.
