After Chai Lingwu went upstairs, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde did not return to their seats but were blocked by Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.
Fang Xuanling had an ugly look on her face and said to the two demon kings: "You two are doing something unkind, you know?"
Wei Zheng: "We should be informed."
Li Ji: "At least I can help you two share His Majesty's anger."
Li Jing, who was handling official duties on the side, shook his head and objected: "They did a good job. The more people you have, the more difficult things will be, right? Lord Zigan, General Zilong?"
Lu Zhi heard Li Jing say his name and smiled at Li Jing: "What Lord Wei Guogong said is that it should be so."
Zhao Yun scratched his head and answered Li Jing softly: "I'm not very clear about this matter. I feel like your Majesty might not like it if there are too many people."
Lu Zhi and Zhao Yun were both close subordinates of Li Mingda. They knew Li Mingda better than Fang Xuanling and the others. They both said this. Only then did Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Li Ji suddenly realize that what happened was It's like this. They wrongly blamed Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, two demon kings.
"Old Cheng made the mistake of blaming you."
"Yeah yeah"
"Look what happened, it's our fault, our fault"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde looked at Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Li Ji who were about to leave, so they stopped them directly.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde pointed at them with dark faces.
"I want to come and go."
"That's not okay"
“At least there needs to be some compensation.”
"Sooth my old and old Cheng's hurt hearts."
"Drunk Dream"
“One hundred brews is enough”
“One bottle is never too little”
“Ten bottles are not too many”
The two of them sang along as if they were talking about cross talk, and black lines appeared on the faces of the others. After a while, watching the two demon kings doing nothing, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Ji and others reluctantly agreed to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi. Jingde’s claim for compensation.
One person offers a bottle of good wine to reward two people.
The lively scene downstairs made Li Mingda, who was sitting by the small charcoal stove roasting a big kidney, couldn't help but roll his eyes. What happened? A good tear-jerking story turned into a comedy.
Cheng Yu was sitting on the pony with Chai Lingwu kneeling beside him, wondering whether there was a list in the small box.
Li Mingda had been focusing on the skewers, but he took a glance at them after they arrived and stopped paying attention.
After about ten minutes, Chai Lingwu felt that his knees were numb. Li Mingda raised his head and glanced at Chai Lingwu: "Your father is really smart. You are more than ten points behind."
Chai Lingwu: "?"
Li Mingda pointed to the small wooden box: "Do you know the box is empty?"
ah?
"It's impossible. I've seen my father lock the list in it for thousands of years." Chai Lingwu's eyes were full of disbelief. He wanted to open the box and take a look.
Li Mingda didn't stop him. He followed what Chai Lingwu did. There was an exquisite lock on the wooden box. Chai Lingwu actually knew the password. After he had been busy for a whole day, the lock of the box was opened. Chai Lingwu opened the box first and was stunned when he looked inside. .
It was not empty as Li Mingda said. There was a letter inside. General Chai Ling took out the letter and looked around, not knowing what to do.
Li Mingda took a bite of the kidney, and then said to Chai Lingwu: "Open it and take a look."
Chai Lingwu hurriedly opened it and saw the letter written: "Lingwu my son, when you open this letter, it proves that you did not follow my instructions to hand over all the people to Princess Jinyang. Greed has given way to You have paid a heavy price, and even our Chai family will be implicated a lot."
"I believe you should wake up after going through so much. Changsun Wuji is not that easy to get along with. Don't get too involved with him. Li Daozong's heart is deeper than Changsun Wuji. You'd better stay away from him. If you get involved with him, , you have to sacrifice your own decision for the sake of the Chai family."
"You may be curious why it is a letter and not a list. The real list is not actually here. Before I died, I had arranged for someone to keep it safe. At the critical moment, I could save the lives of the Chai family. As for the You don’t need to know who it is.”
"As a father, I have experienced a lot in my life. The worst thing I did was to feel sorry for your mother. She left after all. The fault is mine. Life and death, life and death, joys and sorrows, I have always regretted and regretted some of the things I have done. Some words cannot be written down. If one day you and I meet and become fathers in the underworld, I will tell you."
"You only need to tell His Majesty that the list is on the black market. Everything else has nothing to do with the Chai family."
this
Chai Lingwu looked through it again to make sure there were no omissions. Chai Lingwu looked confused: "Your Majesty, I don't understand."
Cheng Yu reached out to take the letter, looked at it carefully and then began to think. After carefully comparing all the words, Cheng Yu's eyes began to become sharp: "Your Majesty, there are two things hidden in this."
Li Mingda put the letter on a bamboo stick and brought it to him. After reading it carefully, he handed it to Chai Lingwu: "I also found it. Please explain it to him."
"promise"
"Please let me explain, sir."
Chai Lingwu looked like a completely different person.
Cheng Yu pointed to the letter: "First thing, your father asked you to read a part of the list. Most of these people are your enemies. These can be handed over to His Majesty. Your father knows that you are used to being domineering, but he doesn't know." Sooner or later, the sky is high and you will cause trouble, so I gave the list to the old man of the Chai family in the black market in advance, waiting for you to cause trouble and pass it to His Majesty to make a deal to help you escape from prison."
"If you follow your father's instructions, the people in the black market will also take out the list and give it to His Majesty. Your Majesty will mobilize the power after receiving the list. Once you win the throne, you will be a huge favor to the Chai family. The future high-ranking officials of the Chai family will be generous. "Luxury, food and clothing, no worries"
Chai Lingwu lowered his head and wiped his tears. Only at this moment did he understand what his father had prepared for him. Sure enough, he had failed his father.
"Second, Princess Pingyang Zhao is at odds with your father. Your father is repenting for his mistake of sitting down. This kind of mistake can only be caused by two things. The first one is to leave your mother in Chang'an City and run away alone. The second thing is to repent for your mother’s death.”
My mother's death? Why does it have anything to do with my father? "
Cheng Yu pointed to the description in the letter: "Your father mentioned that he was sorry for your mother, and then said that she was gone. Don't you understand? There was something fishy about your mother's death."
What~!
Chai Lingwu stood up directly: "It's impossible for me to be around my mother when she passed away..."
"Don't you think it's strange that a legendary female general who was a veteran on the battlefield and commanded an army suddenly died suddenly? Why did your grandfather and my grandfather care so much about mourning after my aunt's death?"
