"So, is the recent dark tide surging in Chang'an City because of this energy cube?" Bai Chu asked.

"That's right, if you think about it, this thing that can support the operation of the entire Chang'an City, what kind of 1 energy is in it, I don't need to describe it. In the early years, no one knew this secret, and it was not known where Wu Zetian learned about it, and then spread it among the masses. In the eyes of ordinary people, this energy cube seems to have nothing to do with them, but in the eyes of heroes, with this energy cube, it is equivalent to having a lifelong energy source, as long as you absorb a little bit every day, your own strength will increase dramatically, and when the time comes, it is only a matter of time before you become the first king of the whole continent. Li Mingxian explained.

It turned out that this was the case, Bai Chu nodded thoughtfully, but he suddenly thought of a question and asked Li Mingxian, "City Lord, I have a question I want to ask." It's the energy cube you just said, since it is something that supports the operation of the entire Chang'an City, if someone takes Chang'an City away, it won't be long after..."

"Don't worry about this, when Mr. Mozi was building Chang'an City, he had to make backup energy. If it is said that after the energy cube is taken away, there is still a backup energy source to maintain the operation, but in case of danger, it can only rely on the city wall and troops to resist the danger, and Chang'an City has no energy to float. You were just worried that without the Energy Rubik's Cube, Chang'an City would become a ruined city, right?" Li Mingxian said with a smile.

Bai Chu nodded, he already had a rough understanding of the secret behind this Chang'an City, it turned out that Wu Zetian had such a plan to return to Chang'an City, of course he couldn't let him succeed. If there is really a fight for the energy cube one day, Chang'an City will definitely experience a disaster, if you can get the energy cube at that time, and then take advantage of the contradiction between the Li family and Wu Zetian, and finally unify Chang'an City, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. Bai Chu had already silently planned in his heart.

"Bai Chu? You okay? Li Mingxian saw that Bai Chu suddenly stopped talking and sat there alone, so he gently patted him on the shoulder and asked him.

"I'm fine, city lord, if it's okay, I'll leave first, and it won't affect your rest." Bai Chu stood up and said to Li Mingxian.

"Well, okay, if you have time, come to Chang'an City to play, and I will send someone to entertain you." Li Mingxian sent Bai Chu to the door of the room and said to him.

"Okay, okay, thank you for the kindness of the city lord, the city lord doesn't need to send it anymore, I'll go back by myself." After Bai Chu finished speaking, he saluted Li Mingxian and turned to leave.

On the way, Bai Chu's mind was full of the energy cube, and Li Mingxian brought him a little bit of information today, which made Bai Chu a little confused now, and he had to re-plan how to turn Chang'an City into his own territory. Bai Chu patted his head, the most important thing now is to find Shangguan Wan'er, tell her the truth of the matter, win her trust, and then use the relationship between her and Wu Zetian, you can find out a lot about Wu Zetian for Bai Chu.

Bai Chu thought so, came to a corner, looked at no one around, and said to the system: "System, I want to go to the place agreed with Shangguan Wan'er before." ”

In the next second, Bai Chu disappeared in place and appeared in the courtyard where he had met Shangguan Wan'er before. Bai Chu looked around and found that there was no figure of Shangguan Wan'er, this person should have gone to a crowded place to complain again. Bai Chu shook his head, a little pity for Shangguan Wan'er's experience, even if he knew the truth of the matter now, it would be useless. Bai Chu walked to the middle of the room, found a place to sit down, and waited for Shangguan Wan'er to come back.

After a while, there was a noise outside the courtyard, and Bai Chu knew that Shangguan Wan'er should have returned, so he stood up and walked out of the door.

Shangguan Wan'er put away the pen and paper, and just wanted to enter the room, she was startled when she saw Bai Chu walking out. After relieving herself, Shangguan Wan'er said a little angrily: "Why did you run into my room without permission?" I don't know if it's rude to trespass into a girl's room? It scared me when I came out. ”

Bai Chu scratched his head, smiled to relieve the embarrassment, and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "I'm sorry, haha, there was no one when I came, so I wanted to sit in the room for a while and wait for you to come back." Didn't take into account that this was a girl's room, don't worry, I didn't do anything, just sat inside. ”

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Bai Chu angrily, walked into the room, took off her coat and put it on the hanger, and tidied up her hair, Shangguan Wan'er turned around, looked at Bai Chu with big eyes, and asked him, "What, have you figured out the truth?" It's only been two days, you know? ”

Bai Chu sat back on the stool and said confidently: "Of course, I have gone to find Li Mingxian City Lord, and I know the whole process of this matter. Still, if I'm going to say something, you might have to be a little mentally prepared. ”

"Say it." Shangguan Wan'er sat opposite Bai Chu and took a serious posture, waiting for him to say.

"That's right, I just found the city lord and confirmed that your grandfather was unjustly killed, but the culprit is not Li Mingxian, but Wu Zetian, who you are following now." Bai Chu said slowly.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Shangguan Wan'er frowned and asked Bai Chu.

"Have you noticed that when you first went to complain to Di Renjie, he received you. With Di Renjie's speed, this case will give you an answer in less than a week. But after a few complaints after that, not only did Di Renjie not meet you, but now as long as you go out to make trouble in a crowded place, people from Daming Temple will come to arrest you. Don't you think that's weird? Bai Chu reasoned to Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er heard Bai Chu say this, and fell into thought. Bai Chu continued to say to Shangguan Wan'er: "You should also know that Di Renjie is Wu Zetian's most loyal subordinate, this commander-in-chief of Chang'an City to maintain order is not under the control of Li Mingxian, but under the control of Wu Zetian, don't you think it's strange?" In this way, Wu Zetian can order Di Renjie what to take care of and what not to do, and your grandfather's affairs, that is, the matter of one sentence, can be buried in the dust forever. People will never talk about it again. ”

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Then in that case, why did Lord Wu Zetian do this?" ”
