Chapter 160: Emperor Wei Visits
She shook her head and forgot it. A sachet doesn't matter, just go back to Han and make another one.
At this moment, she only had a moment of leisure to take a look at what had happened in the past two days. Then think about it. But the more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes, the more chaotic it becomes, and my thoughts are like numbness.
But there was one thing she knew. In the previous life, she, Qingyue and the god-devouring resentful soul had an inseparable entanglement. The God-Eater Soul is not only targeting Qingyue, but also himself. And it's clear that the wrath wants to guide itself to what happened in the previous life.
Qingyue is Yin Ji, the wife of General Xiao Zhi in Chu Yanli. That means that in their previous lives, they were all people in the tragic story of the destruction of the country.
And the most important people around Chu Tian, Bai Chen, and Zhixi, they may all be the people in that story. Maybe it was the god-devouring resentful soul, or maybe it was fate that brought them together, and the resentful soul wanted to uncover the gauze of the previous life and let Chu Tian see the bloody truth.
At this time, Chu Tian was afraid, because she knew the tragic story of Chu State. There are no winners in it. The royal family and ministers of Chu were all slaughtered when the country was destroyed. She knew that thinking about it would only cause pain to herself. But having come to this point, she can't seem to back down, and that story seems to be deeply attracted to her.
Whether there are resentful spirits or not, she wants to know the truth. Wondering, what's going on.
Even though she might have a piercing pain when she knew, and even though she knew that she might have made mistakes, she still wanted to know.
Go to the palace of Shu and explore the past. That's what she wants to do now.
And she knew that Bai Chen would definitely go to Shu Kingdom, because as the master of the Soul Slaying Division, even if he didn't help him find the resentful souls of the Devouring God, he would also kill Cheng Huainan, Li Zhi and other resentful souls, and find the lost magic weapons in the Spirit Absolute Hall.
There is just a question in Chu Tian's mind, the God Devouring Soul can cooperate with the Soul Slaying Admiral Li Su, then does he know that Bai Chen is the Soul Slaying Master.
Obviously, Li Silk didn't know. But does the God-Eater know? Is Bai Chen in his calculations?
Chu Tian didn't know the answer, so he could only go on.
After Qiao'er came back, she told Chu Tian that the emperor of Wei had no intention of making things difficult this time, and he also meant to be grateful.
Although the Emperor of Wei was still young and a little emperor. But he's very smart.
Now on the surface, it seems that the regent and the silk prince of Wei have disappeared for no reason, and the Han delegation was present at the time of the disappearance, and there is a responsibility that cannot be shirked.
But this was the ending that the Emperor of Wei liked to see. One is that he has long felt that he has enough power to control the political situation, but he has always been subject to the queen mother and the regent. He had been dissatisfied with the regent for a long time, but he was not capable of bringing him down.
Second, he has been sending people to secretly follow up and investigate, and earlier he also found that Cheng Huainan and Li Su had private contacts. Li Silk looks like he has no interest in state affairs, and he is an idler who indulges in landscapes. But Emperor Wei knew that he knew the face but did not know the heart, and if he sat on the throne in the cold place, he would have to protect everyone. The correspondence between Li Silk and Cheng Huainan also made him very uneasy. But he was weak and had no evidence of their unbearable situation, so he couldn't make a difference.
These two people are not good ministers in his heart, but they are actually thorns in his heart.
So that day, Cheng Huainan disappeared. The queen mother was really anxious and worried, and the little emperor was secretly happy. Although he didn't know why Cheng Huainan would visit the mission late at night. I don't know what happened to them, but the result was good for him. He also deliberately assigned Li Silk to find someone. He also secretly sent people to follow him.
The little emperor didn't expect that Li Silk would disappear now. This result is good for him, it is best for these two to disappear for a while, and it is best for these two to reappear after he completely controls the situation in the DPRK and China, and let the Queen Mother no longer listen to the government.
Of course, if these two people disappeared forever, he would be more happy to hear about it.
However, after all, the mission is the mission of a neighboring country, and there is no guarantee that there will be no conspiracy in it. So he came in Weifu because he hoped to have a frank relationship with Bai Chen and figure out what was going on.
In his opinion, now that the Han Kingdom is in crisis and wars, there is no time to quarrel with its neighbors. But if Bai Chen is willing to help him get rid of the big trouble in his heart, he may send troops to help Bai Chen when he needs it.
However, he really didn't understand why the two of them disappeared for no reason after the arrival of the Han mission.
Bai Chen told Emperor Wei half the truth and half the lie.
Bai Chen told Emperor Wei that the reason why Cheng Huainan visited the mission inn that night was to kill Zhixi. The reason why he wanted to kill him was that back then, when Zhixi led the army to war with Shu, he killed his relatives. It's true.
But Bai Chen also made up a lie. He said that Cheng Huainan revealed that he had dealings with the royal family of Shu, but failed to kill Zhixi. So Cheng Huainan was rescued by Li Su. In other words, Li Silk and Cheng Huainan did collude, and Li Silk intersected with the Shu royal family through Cheng Huainan. As for what the purpose was, he did not know.
Then, Bai Chen said another truth. It was Wanwan who told him. Bai Chen told Emperor Wei about Li Silk's feelings for Concubine Ming, and Li Silk wanted to avenge Concubine Ming and killed Chu Tian. So he deliberately deceived Chu Tian and Wanwan to the Silk King's Mansion. Bai Chen found them in the Silk King's Mansion through the clues left by Wanwan.
The lie is that Bai Chen happened to meet Cheng Huainan. So Li Silk rescued Cheng Huainan was exposed, and Li Silk wanted to kill everyone, but was seriously injured by Bai Chen. Then they were trapped in the secret room, and Cheng Huainan escaped with Li Sui.
Bai Chen also added that Li Silk was seriously injured and would die in a few days. It is very likely that Cheng Huainan fled to Shu, and it is Emperor Wei's business whether to chase him or not.
That's what he said, but Bai Chen naturally knew that even if Emperor Wei wanted to chase him, it would be impossible to chase him. The resentful soul has spiritual power, so naturally it has fled to the place where it wants to escape, and it is in vain to chase it.
Although Emperor Wei was confused, Bai Chen's lies were also perfectly fabricated. The mixture of truth and falsehood left a lot of real evidence, and Emperor Wei also had a basis for investigating it.
But the results were good for Emperor Wei. Bai Chen also said that because Cheng Huainan injured his subordinates, he would go to Shu to hunt him down. He obtained Cheng Huainan's head one day and informed Emperor Wei.
Emperor Wei also promised that if Bai Chen needed it one day, he would help him.
With such a result, Chu Tian was also relieved.
But when Emperor Wei left, Chu Tian went to ask Bai Chen why Wanwan left first. Bai Chen avoided her. just told her through the door that the military situation was urgent, and he asked Wanwan to go back to support the elite in the house on his behalf.
Chu Tian felt that Zhixi might be in danger, but Bai Chen was reluctant to say more to her. Bai Chen just said that when he got the customs clearance document from Emperor Wei, he would lead the delegation back to Han. After the situation in the Han Kingdom stabilized, he would go to Shu to find Cheng Huainan.
