"I think Yao Daochang didn't know the truth at first, which is also the purpose of Suo Wusuo's Li Daitao's stiff plan, which is to use another identity to protect him and let him live with his usual identity. But the good times didn't last long, and only ten years later, things changed. First of all, the Tang Sect and the Perak Hall found Suo Wusuo, and under the coercion of these two major sects and the imperial court forces behind them, he had to open the secrets of the ancient secret cave to them. Then the mysterious Xuanyuan Gongzi appeared, and the supernatural power used the secret affairs of the Mulberry Girl and his son's identity to blackmail him, of course, under Suo Wusuo's pre-arrangement, everyone thought that Meng Daoping was his son. ”

Tang Da stopped and licked his dry lips: "As for what we want him to do, we have no way of knowing now, but it must be something he is extremely reluctant to do." Of course, he understood that in front of such a terrible person, not only the Huashan faction, but even his real son was also in danger, and it was difficult to guarantee that his Li Dai Taozhuang's plan would not be discovered, so he chose to die. Only when he dies, all the clues will be broken, and his son will be truly safe. ”

Ye Feng nodded, this was indeed a difficult choice, and after a while, he asked again: "Then what about the letter left for Meng Daoping, could it also be a trap designed by him?"

Tang Da shook his head: "His death is already the last security measure, cutting off the connection between all clues, there is no need to leave another letter to make a fool of it, so if there is a letter, I believe it is left to his son Yao Daochang." ”

He saw Ye Feng's face full of doubts, and explained: "No matter how powerful a person is, he needs the most basic thing, which is a sense of identity, whether it is self-identification or others' identification with him, this is human nature. Suo Wusuo devised such a complicated plan, and did so many things to protect his son, if no one in the world knew about him after his death, wouldn't it be like a brocade night walk, a pity. But he could only tell one person about these things, and that was his son Yao Daochang. ”

Ye Feng was even more puzzled: "Then why did the letter come to Meng Daoping's room?"

Tang Da sighed and said: "His letter must not explain how he set up Li Daitaozhuang's poisonous plan to make Meng Daoping a stand-in for his son, such an insidious method does not need to be explained, just tell Yao Daochang his true life experience, and he will understand everything." But Yao Daochang was far smarter and scheming than his father imagined, and he decided to do his father's Li Dai Taozhuang's plan to the end, so he put this letter in Meng Dao's bungalow. ”

Ye Feng felt incredulous: "How is it possible? Isn't there a mention of Yao Daochang's name in the letter?"

Tang Daodao: "Presumably, Yao Dao often revised this letter before it was put into Meng Dao's bungalow. He must have deleted the places that would reveal flaws, such as the origin of the jade plate, you must know that Suo Wusuo did not like writing and ink, and there were not many ink treasures left, plus the two children should have been only about ten years old at the time, and they could not recognize the handwriting, so he only needed to imitate the handwriting of the original letter slightly. ”

Ye Feng was irrefutable, and immediately asked, "But why did he do this?"

Tang Da sighed and said, "In addition to wanting to continue his father's plan, I'm afraid he also has hatred for this senior brother in his heart. The Huashan faction knew that Meng Daoping had been domineering since he was a child, relying on the favor of his ancestors, bullying his fellow disciples, and all the disciples had a bad relationship with him, but everyone held back because of the rumors between him and Suo Wusuo. It is said that Yao Daochang has been intelligent since he was a child and is very talented in martial arts, which will inevitably cause the jealousy of this mediocre senior brother. So he should have been bullied by Meng Daoping since he was a child, and after enduring it for many years, he suddenly knew that what the other party relied on was fake, something that should belong to him, and how resentful he would be in his heart. ”

"What's more important is that Yao Daochang knows that Meng Daoping himself is also half-skeptical about the rumors about his relationship with Suo Wusuo for many years, otherwise he would not be so fearless and domineering in the door, so when he sees the letter, he will definitely not doubt it, and he must regard himself as Suo Wusuo's son, in this way, it is Yao Daochang who is really safe. ”

Tang Da saw that Ye Feng was shaking his head, knowing that he thought it was incredible, so he asked: "Do you remember Fan Shanggu's story? When Suo Wusuo was dying, he just told him that his son was his apprentice and asked him to take care of him, but Fan Shanggu naturally believed that this person was Meng Daoping, and secretly passed on his Zixia Gong and wanted him to succeed him as the head of the house, this is the habitual thinking that arises from the influence of rumors. ”

Tang Da stood up and paced as he continued: "Since then, Yao Daochang has safely hidden behind Meng Daoping, he can quietly observe everything in the dark, Fan Shanggu's guilt towards Meng Daoping, secretly teaching Zixia Gong, Huashan's dissatisfaction with Meng Daoping, and Meng Daoping's hatred for Fan Shanggu He all saw it in his eyes, and even I guessed that this time Meng Daoping united with the Great Lei Sect to attack Shizun and seize the plan of the master, he was likely to know in advance, but he kept quiet. In the end, Meng Daoping finally embarked on the dead road of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and Yao Daochang stood up at this time, effortlessly became the expectation of the public, and rightfully sat on the throne of the head. There was only one thing he really risked, and that was whether we could stand up to the full force of the Great Thunder Gate. But he had to take a gamble, and in the end, it seems, he still won. ”

Tang Da let out a long breath: "Perhaps, this is the truth of everything. ”

After listening to this thrilling narration, Ye Feng still felt unbelievable: "If it was just for the head of the house, he told Fan Shanggu the truth back then, and with Fan Shanggu's character, he would definitely push him to be the next head, why is it so complicated? Besides, he was only ten years old back then, I don't believe that there was such a scheming calculation." ”

Tang Da said a little heavily: "I don't believe that a ten-year-old child has such far-reaching thoughts, and his design to mislead Meng Daoping back then may be just an instinctive behavior for his own safety." But the more time passes, the more benefits he experiences, for example, Fan Shanggu regards Meng Daoping as the heir to the head, which has long caused other disciples to be unconvinced, plus Meng Daoping is domineering and does not know how to restrain, he has long been the target of the Huashan faction, even if he becomes the head, it is difficult to convince the public. If Yao Daochang took out the letter and told Fan Shanggu everything, he would become today's Meng Daoping and the object of envy of other disciples, which is the so-called party and dissent. In particular, Meng Daoping, who is accustomed to being domineering, has long regarded himself as the next leader, how can he be tolerated? And Yao Daochang has always been hiding in the shadows and will not attract envy, and in addition, he acts fairly and approachable, and has gathered a lot of people's expectations. ”

He sighed: "There is such a person in this world, who has an animal-like instinct and can make the most correct decision without thinking, this kind of person is the most terrifying." ”

Ye Feng was stunned for a long time, a little angry: "He actually dares to show you the jade plate, isn't he afraid that we will expose his true face?"

Tang Da smiled bitterly: "Just like you said, we are just inferences, how can there be a trace of ironclad evidence? The similar carving techniques on the jade plate can be completely deduced as a coincidence, the only thing that can be proved is the letter, now that Meng Daoping is dead, the letter is nowhere to be found, maybe it has been destroyed by the new head first, and the content of the letter has become an eternal secret." If there is no basis for his words, who will believe our reasoning? He just took down the jade plaque and showed it to me without hesitation, knowing that you have no evidence and that he has won the battle. What's more," Tang Da slowed down and said meaningfully, "Now such an ending may be the best for Huashan, for Tangmen, and for everyone, why should we uncover it?"

Yes, Ye Feng nodded, people often believe what they want to believe, who cares about the real truth?
