Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment and shook his head hesitantly.
"I can't give you any explanation, but I can only say that based on my understanding of my father, this matter is definitely not what he did behind the scenes."
"You don't have any evidence to prove it yourself, so why should Yunyao believe your answer?
When my second brother received the news and went to rescue me, he immediately recognized that the person who intercepted and killed me on the way was the Thirteen Taibao of Dalong Ouchi's bodyguard.
If it weren't for the mysterious woman's rescue, Yunyao would have died tragically.
It is a bit unrealistic to let Junyao put aside the grudge that almost caused her tragic death with just a few baseless words from her senior brother! "
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips, his eyes showing deep thoughts.
"You are indeed a great talent, and my father does not want to see you return home.
But in the fifth year since Dalong Ruian, the border trade market was in full swing.
You, the princess of the prairie, are of great importance to maintaining the peace of border trade.
Compared with the benefits brought by the border trade between the three countries, the return of a great talent who may become an enemy of the imperial court to the grassland is a bit insignificant compared with the benefits brought by the border trade!
In terms of my father's character, I will definitely not give up the major benefits brought about by the border trade just because you have returned to the grassland and may become Dalong's strong enemy in the future.
It’s not because I underestimate your status, junior brother.
For Dalong at that time, the main thing was to continue to accumulate strength in order to complete the ambitions he planned next.
As long as the country is prosperous and the people are strong, your great talent is nothing to the dragon's tendency to dominate the world.
Once the information about your assassination is revealed, it means that the short-term peace will no longer exist.
Too big a loss for Baron.
With my father's far-sighted view of the overall situation, he would never make such a mistake.
Furthermore, you were serving in the Ministry of War at the time, and your resignation and return to the country was approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The father has already given permission, and if the ambush is carried out secretly, if it is accidentally spread, it will not only cause damage to the face of the Dalong court, but also the face of the father.
There is absolutely no reason for my father to do such an act of injuring one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred.
Also, you said that you were ambushed and killed by the Thirteen Taibao, the imperial bodyguard, outside the customs.
Why is it outside the customs? To a normal person's thinking, the assassination of the princess of the Huyan tribe in Dalong territory will become the trigger for the hostility between the two countries.
Assassination outside the pass, even if the matter is exposed, Dalong can still push two, four, and six.
But have you ever thought about using your shallow boxing skills to ensure nothing goes wrong?
The Thirteen Taibao of Ouchi Guards can completely cooperate with Long Wuwei to kill you in Yingzhou City and then throw your body outside the pass.
For the Ouchi guards, this is simply a piece of cake, and it can be guaranteed to be foolproof, and there will be no proof of death.
Why delay the attack until after you leave the border, when you may encounter Turkic scouts at any time?
This makes absolutely no sense!
Besides, based on my knowledge of Ouchi's bodyguards, even if your mount is a bloody horse, you can't dodge an instant attack.
Thirteen Ouchi guards took action together, but you are still safe and sound.
All I can say is that there is a ghost in it! "
Huyanjunyao lowered his head and thought with a gloomy expression. After a long time, Huyanjunyao looked at Liu Mingzhi with twinkling eyes.
"If Emperor Dalong wasn't behind the scenes, then only the old lady... Queen Jin Wanyan Wanyan was behind the scenes.
After all, the Turks and the Dragon were at odds with each other and united with the Jin Kingdom to fight against the enemy. This was a situation that the Golden Queen desperately wanted to see.
She sent someone to pretend to be one of Dalong's internal guards to assassinate me, and framed me, which would help Yunyao and the Kingdom of Jin join forces to resist Dalong.
If according to what you said, this matter was not caused by Dalong Ruizong Li Zheng, then the biggest suspect is only Queen Jin Wanyan Wanyan! "
Liu Mingzhi fell silent, looking at Huyan Yunyao's thinking eyes, and sighed silently.
Based on my understanding of Wanyuan, it is not impossible that Wanyan was behind this incident.
But was Wanyan really behind this incident?
It’s just that now, what happens if it is yes or no?
If so, can junior brother Huyan Yunyao's stubborn decision be changed?
"Heartless, little goblin, would you believe it if I said I wasn't behind the scenes?"
While the two brothers were silent, the Queen's ethereal voice suddenly came from the side, causing the two of them to immediately turn their eyes.
The Queen was seen wearing a pale white Yunyan Shang slowly walking towards Liu Mingzhi and the two of them, with a thoughtful look on her eyebrows.
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Wanyan, when did you come?"
The Queen's slender jade fingers inadvertently brushed against Liu Dashao's waist. Looking at Liu Mingzhi who was grinning, the Queen gave Liu Mingzhi a resentful look with her bright eyes.
"I came here before your game. I wanted to see the outcome of your discussion, but I happened to see something I shouldn't have seen.
Seeing how you two senior fellow apprentices were quarreling with each other, I really couldn't bear to disturb them, so I stood aside and waited.
It seems that someone's energy after eating carrots has not disappeared. In this case, I don't mind helping someone vent their anger! "
"Uh huh huh... misunderstanding, polite words, it's all misunderstanding!"
The queen looked at Liu Mingzhi's resentful expression, and vaguely traced her fingers across Liu Mingzhi's waist, and then walked towards Huyan Yunyao Shiranly.
Liu Mingzhi grinned and rubbed the soft flesh on his waist, and followed him with an aggrieved look.
The Queen lowered her eyes and glanced at the murderous situation on the chessboard, then she slowly knelt down and sat in the middle of the chessboard, like a referee.
"Little goblin, I also heard about your assassination back then, but due to the busy government affairs in the country and the fact that this matter was definitely not behind the scenes, I didn't pay attention to it.
I dare to take responsibility. If I haven't done something before, I haven't done it. If I have done something, I will never admit it without any hesitation.
I said, this matter has nothing to do with my mother, do you believe it? "
Huyan Yunyao did not look at her senior brother who was sitting cross-legged across from him again. He stared at the Queen's unevasive eyes in silence for a long time.
"It's really not you?"
"no!"
After the Queen finished speaking, she glanced at Young Master Liu with her bright eyes, and the sadness in her eyes was unmistakable.
"At that time, I gradually realized that the border trade was just a vicious plan by this heartless man who conspired with Li Zheng to secretly weaken our country and interfere with the people's livelihood of the two countries in the name of friendly trade.
I am anxious to find ways to restore the dependence of the people of our Kingdom on the border trade, so that the people can be self-reliant and free from the control of Dalong. They have too much time to take care of themselves and have no chance to pay attention to the grudges between you and Li Zheng.
If I did this, I would not deny it.
I did not do this, and I will never take the blame. "
Huyan Yunyao looked at Liu Mingzhi with doubtful eyes: "Senior brother?"
Liu Mingzhi breathed out softly: "Junior brother, although my father Daxing has been dead for many years without any evidence, senior brother can still say with certainty that he was definitely not behind this incident.
He can't do such a thing! "
Huyan Yunyao looked at Liu Mingzhi's solemn expression, and clutched the chess piece in his hand with a tangled expression: "Then...under the situation at that time, besides Dalong and Jin Guo, who else would be there for no reason? Attack and kill me on the way back home quietly?
Apart from Dalong and the Kingdom of Jin, what other force has such intelligence capabilities and knows everything about Yunyao's every move.
Yes, Liu Ye, who serves under uncle Liu Zhi'an! "
Liu Mingzhi suddenly straightened up: "Junior brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. My old man will attack you when he is full."
The Queen narrowed her eyes, took Liu Mingzhi's drink, took a sip, and nodded thoughtfully.
"The little goblin's words are not unreasonable. In order to plunge the Three Kingdoms into chaos, you can take advantage of the opportunity to quickly accumulate military strength.
There is nothing wrong with your old man doing this.
It's not impossible! "
"Nonsense, although my old man is sometimes a bit... ahem... a bit less of a gentleman, he won't take action against his junior brother!
Impossible, absolutely impossible! "
The Queen glanced at Liu Mingzhi faintly: "Your father is not an economical person, so don't talk too much!"
Liu Mingzhi's face froze, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
Is it really the old man who is behind this?
It doesn’t make sense!
"No, no, junior brother, please tell me about the situation that year in detail, and see if you can find any clues from it."
Huyan Yunyao hesitated for a while, with a look of recollection in her beautiful eyes.
"After Yunyao said goodbye to her senior brother in Tianranju in Dalongjing City... Later, Yunyao suppressed the resentment in her heart, and with the support of the leaders of the tribe, she proclaimed herself Khan and established Taichang. East Royal Court!
You all know this too! "
After listening to what Hu Yanjunyao recalled, Liu Mingzhi subconsciously wanted to pick up the dry pipe and take a few puffs.
After groping for a while, he finally realized that none of the three of them were the ones carrying that thing with them.
Silently standing up, stroking the stubble on his chin, Liu Mingzhi walked around with his eyes closed.
The queen, who was sitting on her knees, drank Liu Mingzhi's wine from time to time, with a thoughtful look in her bright eyes.
Time passed silently, and the wine in the wine bag gradually ran out, but the queen still found nothing.
Liu Mingzhi, who was wandering by the river, suddenly opened his eyes, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Junior brother, if you want to know the cause and effect of the matter, I suggest you go back to the royal court and ask your second brother Hu Yanyu. Brother Huyan is better!"
"Wha...what? Ask my second brother?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly: "Although I really don't want to tell you, for the sake of the overall situation, I can only say this.
After asking your second brother, the truth about your ambush outside the customs may come to light..."
"There's no need to go back to the royal court to ask, I sent him!"
Liu Mingzhi was not surprised when he looked at Hu Yanyu, who was holding the horse's rein with one arm and walking toward the river with a simple knife on his back, and smiled softly.
"Brother Huyan, you can still keep your composure!"
The Queen, Huyan Yunyao and the two girls stood up in a hurry, turned around and looked at Huyanyu who was leading the horse in astonishment, with a somewhat gloomy look on his face.
Hu Yanyu stopped slowly and looked at Hu Yanjunyao who was looking at him coldly and in a daze with painful eyes.
"Little sister, the person who assassinated you was indeed sent by my second brother privately!"
Huyan Yunyao looked at the sudden arrival of her second brother Hu Yanyu with trembling lips.
“Second...Second brother, yes...yes...you sent someone to ambush Yunyao?
Why...why you? Has Yunyao always believed in you the most?
Why... is it you? "
