Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 896 Deception

After Chen Yizhi was shocked, he began to scold in a low voice, and at the same time he did not forget to look at the King of Qin who was sitting at the top of the table. His heart was beating up and down quietly.

He didn't expect Daoyi to be so bold to say this without any preparation, which almost scared him to death.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had only one founding emperor, and the first crown prince had problems. He didn't dare to think about it any further. If there was a problem with the crown prince, what kind of bloody storm would the Great Zhou Dynasty experience?

Daoyi looked seriously at the King of Qin beside him, "I believe the King of Qin is not completely without feeling, right?"

The King of Qin remained silent, but his silence was also an attitude.

After a long while, he looked at Daoyi deeply, and then he spoke, "At the beginning, my father allowed my brother and I to choose between Jihu and Dongdu."

He nodded and said, "I have heard a little about this matter."

The King of Qin shook his head, fearing that it was not as simple as he had heard. But now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.

He said, "Over the years, my brother and I have been together less and more apart. Although he is different from before in some things and sometimes biased, he still has the shadow of his old self."

After a pause, the King of Qin continued, "According to my understanding of my brother, he should have come to the Eastern Capital. After all, it was the former capital of the kingdom. As the crown prince of a country, it is most appropriate for him to come. Although it was me who came, he was only worried about Xiao Si, so he went to Jihu just now. It is reasonable.

The King of Qin looked at him with lightning, "Thank you, Madam Second, but the Crown Prince is not my brother. How can I trust you? How can others trust you?"

Daoyi curled his lips in his heart, thinking, it doesn’t matter whether others believe it or not, as long as the saint believes it, it is enough.

She said, "King Qin, there is no need to test me any further. What I just said is absolutely true."

Seeing that the King of Qin pursed his lips and said nothing, Daoyi continued to ask him, "And the question the King of Qin asked just now proves that you already have the answer in your mind."

Chen Yizhi really wanted to rush up and cover her mouth. Not only did she dare to say anything, but she also dared to guess the thoughts of the superior and even said it to his face. This guy is courting death. He hasn't returned to Beijing to marry a wife yet.

The King of Qin chuckled, "Second Madam Xie is really brave."

Dao was not panicked at all and said something even more terrifying, "In fact, the matter of the fake prince is not the most important thing. What is more terrifying is the power behind him."

The King of Qin's expression changed at this point, "Do you want to talk about the Five Characters Department?"

What Dongdu saw and heard was far beyond the understanding and knowledge of ordinary people.

However, the army of more than 10,000 people fought all the way to Dongdu and even almost broke the city of Dongdu.

Could such a terrifying army be the support of the prince?

When did the prince plan all this? Does the Wu Zi tribe have other troops? If so, how should the Great Zhou respond?

The King of Qin's gaze finally fell on Daoyi, whose lips curled up slightly.

The red fox escaped and would come back if given the chance. As long as they lived, the court would need her.

Chen Yizhi was full of worries. He thought more long-term. After Daoyi helped to solve the problem of the Five-Character Tribe, with her abilities, would the court still be able to accommodate her?

Daoyi shook his head, "The Five Characters Division is not behind the prince, but the prince is just a chess piece of the Five Characters Division."

The King of Qin's gaze suddenly became deep, and he tapped the table in front of him with his finger.

"Tell me in detail what you know."

Daoyi concealed his method of investigation, and told everything he saw and heard in Yunwu Mountain.

After she finished speaking, the tent was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

Daoyi and Wang Xuanzhi had not yet informed Chen Yizhi of what happened in Yunwu Mountain. When they heard about it, they were shocked. It turned out that when no one knew, the prince's soul was secretly replaced by a monster by the Five Characters. Since the prince could be replaced, what about others? Thinking of this, Chen Yizhi shuddered for no reason.

The King of Qin also thought of this aspect. He could not tolerate that all the civil and military officials in the court were monsters with ulterior motives.

Daoyi cleared up his doubts for him, "When I was in the Dali Temple, the saint came in person once and brought most of the court officials with him. They were all normal people."

The King of Qin did not continue with the matter of court officials. He was currently in the Eastern Capital. Even if there were court officials in the capital who had transformed into monsters, he would be out of reach.

The most important matter at the moment is the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince will succeed the throne of the Emperor. Once something happens to him, the foundation of the Great Zhou will be shaken. He will never allow such a thing to happen. The King of Qin clenched his fists.

"The matter of the crown prince is of great importance. I cannot doubt the crown prince of a country based on your personal knowledge." Before the King of Qin finished speaking, the head of the guards standing outside suddenly said, "Your Majesty, someone from Puyang is coming!"

The three people in the tent looked at each other, and King Qin said to the outside of the camp: "Bring the people in."

The man was exhausted and looked like he would faint at any moment. He did not even notice that there were extra people in the tent. He just saluted hastily to the King of Qin and said, "Your Highness, something happened in Puyang."

King Qin immediately sat up straight and said, "Hurry up and tell me."

Puyang?

Daoyi also pricked up her ears, this was the place where she met a noble person.

The visitor said, "Previously, an army attacked the city with terrible means and massacred almost all the people in the city, but they did not occupy the city. I have inquired along the way and found that this was the case almost everywhere they passed by."

"I heard that they have already arrived at the city of Dongdu. County Magistrate Lu didn't want me to come over. But when he heard that there was a medicine fairy in Dongdu who could even cure the weirdos in the strange army, County Magistrate Lu wanted me to come over and ask the medicine fairy for help."

What often follows a war is a plague.

King Qin's expression changed slightly, "Is there an epidemic in Puyang City?"

The visitor had a bitter look on his face. "Your Highness, I have never seen such a terrible epidemic. It can infect people with just one breath, and there is no medicine to control it." He wiped his red eyes and said, "People who survived in the city by various means are now dead, and only one out of ten soldiers defending the city is left. If the epidemic is not controlled, Puyang will no longer exist."

The King of Qin was not familiar with medicine. He looked at the person below him and said, "Second Madam Xie, do you have any idea?"

Daoyi shook his head, "You have to see it with your own eyes."

She stared at the person who came. "Since breathing can be contagious, how did you hide and come to Dongdu safely?"

The man's face changed and he pounced on King Qin.

A kick came from the middle of the way and kicked him back to the door of the tent, only half a foot away from Daoyi.

"Tie him up, go!" Daoyi tied him up decisively. After examining him, he said to the two men, "This man doesn't have any disease, but what he just said about Puyang having an epidemic, I don't think it's false."

"Why do you think so?" King Qin frowned.

Daoyi: "He smells like medicine for curing the plague."

"If the epidemic in Puyang is really as this person said, I will leave for Puyang now." Daoyi kicked the person on the ground, "I will leave this person to you."

Before leaving the tent, she glanced at Chen Yizhi, who nodded knowingly and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you when there's news."
