"Dear clan leaders, we are in trouble these days."
At the Fire Clan's station, all the clan leaders from the Meihe River Triangle gathered together.
Lin Bai smiled and thanked everyone.
Naturally, it is because of the family members of the Tiger and Wolf Army, these people are here during this time.
"Your Majesty is trying to break us. This is what we should do. If you need anything, Your Majesty, just give us your instructions."
"Yes! This is just a trivial matter."
All the clan leaders complimented.
Just kidding, since they have decided to follow the great talent, these people naturally do not dare to neglect him, and the great talent's strength is there. It is definitely a wise move to take the initiative to submit at this time.
Lin Bai was also very happy. It was perfect to incorporate the Meihe River Triangle into the southwest without spending a single soldier.
Great talents hate fighting. It would be great if they could solve problems like this.
He immediately smiled and said: "One more thing. There are still many family members of the Tiger and Wolf Army in Dali. I have asked people to contact them as much as possible. If they are willing to come, they will use the Meihe River Triangle as a transit point. Then... "
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."
"That's right! As long as they are willing to come over, we can even go to Dali to meet them. We have cooperation with them there, which is more convenient than the prince."
The Meihe River Triangle is still a place that no one cares about for the time being. Although it belongs to Southwest China, outsiders don't know it.
And this is exactly what Lin Bai needs.
"good!"
Lin Bai was not polite, "Then this matter will trouble all the clan leaders."
Seeing her husband dealing with the clan leaders and solving all the problems easily, Duan Rongrong's pretty face was full of admiration, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
After everyone left, she couldn't help but say: "Husband, thank you!"
Lin Bai blinked, "I've already called you husband, so why should I thank you?"
The snack foodie may have remembered what happened last night, her pretty face flushed, "No...it's not the same. They are all family members of the Tiger and Wolf Army. My husband could have left them alone, and with so many people, they would definitely put a great burden on Southwest." .”
This girl looked remorseful as she spoke.
Lin Baixin said: My husband is counting on them to work. With more people, development will be faster.
never mind! Wouldn't it be nice to keep a great image in the minds of snackers? Only when you are great can you unlock various postures.
But... the snack foodie is so well-behaved, he should probably be able to unlock it!
Just when the great genius was having wild dreams.
At this time, a soldier came quickly and said, "To inform the prince, the princess has sent someone to deliver news that His Majesty Wu Chao has passed away."
Lin Bai thought he had heard wrongly and sat up.
The soldier reiterated: "The news just came that His Majesty Wu Chao passed away two days ago."
Isn't this too sudden?
Gu Changqing is dead? My seventh child, Gu Ling'er's father, died like this? He was also planning to go to Wu Dynasty to bring his mother and concubine and Lao Wu back after everything was settled here, but the result was good...
"Go back to the palace immediately."
Lin Bai had no intention of staying any longer. Although he didn't have a good impression of Gu Changqing. At the beginning, Lao Wu tried every means to make things difficult for him, but no matter what, Gu Ling'er was already his wife, and Gu Changqing was also his father-in-law. .
My father-in-law is dead, and Gu Ling'er is afraid that she won't feel well.
As expected, when they returned to the palace, Gu Ling'er was sitting alone in the backyard looking in the direction of Wu Chao in a daze.
Lin Bai came to the backyard, waved his hand, and the servants retreated.
Then he came to Gu Ling'er and gently held the latter in his arms.
When Gu Ling'er saw her husband, her eyes instantly turned red.
Tears fell down the corners of his eyes.
Lin Bai said nothing, just wiped her tears.
Gu Ling'er said: "Husband, do you know how Ling'er's mother died?"
"It was the father who killed him. The father had people sell thousands of souls to the Cui family. Because the queen mother was too strong and the Shen family was too powerful, he was afraid that he could not suppress it, so he used the Cui family to get rid of the queen mother..."
Lin Bai was startled for a moment. There were many aristocratic families in the Wu Dynasty. He had long seen the crisis, and had long known that the death of the former queen of the Wu Dynasty was strange, but he did not expect...
Gu Ling'er continued: "I thought I wouldn't be sad if he died, and I even thought about avenging my mother, but..."
Gu Ling'er leaned her head on her husband's arms and sobbed softly.
Lin Bai kissed her forehead.
In the study.
Seeing Lin Bai approaching, Su Mingyue and Yan Ruxue hurriedly greeted her. Yan Ruxue hurriedly asked: "Husband, are Seventh Sister okay?"
"It's okay. It's inevitable to be a little sad when a relative passes away."
Lin Bai paused and then said: "However, why did His Majesty Wu Chao pass away while he was doing well? Is there any specific news?"
Su Mingyue said: "There is no specific news yet, and the strange thing is that the news did not come from my mother and concubine, but from our business in Wu Dynasty."
Since Chu Jingmeng left, they have been in contact with each other, and most of the news was passed through the Shadow Pavilion.
But this time, His Majesty Wu Chao passed away. For such a big event, there was no movement from the Shadow Pavilion. Instead, it came from the business. This is undoubtedly abnormal.
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, "You mean, the news from Wu Chao's Shadow Pavilion was intercepted?"
Su Mingyue said: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as interception, otherwise there should be news from the Shen family and the Chu family."
"good!"
Lin Bai replied.
Yan Ruxue asked in confusion: "Why did the Wu Dynasty intercept the news?"
Su Mingyue thought for a while and said: "There is a possibility that if His Majesty Wu Dynasty passes away, the next step is to determine the new king. Wu Dynasty, like Li Dynasty, has never appointed a crown prince. Now that His Majesty Wu Dynasty suddenly passes away, the candidate for the new king is the biggest issue."
"Could they be worried about Xiao Jiu? After all, the Shen family was quite powerful in the Wu Dynasty, plus her husband and her relationship with the Chu family. It may be because of this that they blocked the news, fearing that Xiao Jiu would go back to fight for the throne."
Yan Ruxue nodded, "Yes! This is a great possibility."
Although Xiaojiu was ill, outsiders had no idea whether he was cured or not.
And the Shen family is quite powerful.
The most important thing is that Xiaojiu also has a good brother-in-law, who opened up the Hexi Corridor and swept away the Xiongnu. This time the dilemma in the southwest scared the three-nation coalition forces back. It is obviously impossible to say that the princes of the Wu Dynasty were not worried at all.
Lin Bai paused and said, "There is another possibility."
Yan Ruxue asked: "What's possible?"
Lin Bai said: "The death of His Majesty Wu Chao is suspicious."
Su Mingyue's eyes flashed with astonishment, "My husband is suspicious, His Majesty Wu Chao was..."
Lin Bai shook his head, "It's hard to say for the time being. It's just a suspicion. Do you still remember the reason why the mother-in-law returned to the Wu Dynasty?"
Su Mingyue was startled for a moment and said: "My mother-in-law said at that time that His Majesty Wu Chao was ill, so she was anxious to go back and have a look."
"wrong!"
Yan Ruxue suddenly said, "What is more important than getting to know my son who has been separated for twenty years? What's more, there is grandma, and because of fate, the most important relatives of the mother-in-law are here. She shouldn't do it for Wu. His Majesty was in a hurry to return home when he fell ill, and he left in such a hurry."
"good!"
Lin Bai said, "So the mother-in-law must have discovered something was wrong, so she rushed back to see what happened, and because she was afraid that we would worry, she didn't tell us."
"I'm afraid there was something wrong with His Majesty Wu Chao's illness from the beginning."
