Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 249 Zhao Wujue’s Identity
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qing curled his lips.

Cheng Yue knocked regularly on the wall several times, and soon there was a sound of a mechanism in the passage.

"Is this good?" Cheng Qing asked in surprise.

Cheng Yue nodded.

"Could the person you invited be our uncle?" Cheng Qing asked.

"Really not." Cheng Yue said with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite that uncle, but who told me that he was not free, so I threw the apprentice over to practice."

"Oh? He actually has an apprentice? Brother, why didn't you tell me? After all, he is our fellow disciple. Now that he is here, it is time to meet him. Is he gone?" Cheng Qing asked this sudden appearance. The fellow students who came were very interested.

"Don't think about it anymore. He left long ago, and he left in a hurry." Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing when he thought of that fellow junior.

Seeing him smiling so happily, she became a little curious and asked, "Brother, why did he leave in such a rage?"

Cheng Yue said: "It's not because of the construction of this passage. At first, my purpose was to let him build three passages, two to confuse the eyes of the pursuers, and one to really escape. But as he builds, I see him He seemed very interested, so he gave him money to let him play freely. Who knows, it was built on such a large scale by accident. He felt that the underground passage built this time gave him a lot of inspiration. So he I quickly went back and edited it into a volume."

Cheng Qing nodded and said: "So that's it. Okay, brother, let's not talk about anything else and let's talk about business first. I got a lot of news in the palace today, all about Zhao Wujue. He's back In the past two days, from the courtiers to the palace maids and eunuchs, I have secretly won over many people."

"It's expected. With us here to stop him, he is no match for underhanded tricks. Unless he secretly mobilizes troops from other places to launch a large-scale attack on the palace." Cheng Yue also heard what Cheng Qing said. After learning a lot, I also had deeper speculations about Zhao Wujue.

Cheng Qing agreed very much with his words and said: "I think so too. I have nothing to do recently to let people see Mingcui Mountain. Although the recent wind direction is not that way, but if it is, That would be very troublesome.”

"Yeah." Cheng Yue also knew that if he wanted to use medicine to defeat the palace guards, he would have to poison the water source in the palace, and that was where he would go.

After all, they have learned from past mistakes.

Cheng Yue touched his chin and said with a smile: "However, sister, I don't think he would take the risk and choose to poison Mingcui Mountain. After all, the direction of the wind is God's decision, not Zhao Wujue's decision. And he wants to To refine a large amount of medicine, you must have a large amount of medicinal materials. If you don't have it, it won't work. Besides, even if Zhao Wujue has the medicinal materials to refine it, he may not be able to make it in time."

"Even if it's too late, you still have to be willing to spend a lot of money." Cheng Qing said, "I don't believe he is willing to do so."

"Don't worry about the money he is reluctant to part with. Do you know what my adoptive father wanted to say to me?" Cheng Yue said.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Qing felt that the matter here might not be that simple.

Cheng Yue said solemnly: "My adoptive father came to me and told me two things. The first one was that there were many unidentified people gathering in the city. The adoptive father suspected that Zhao Wujue had brought them here. The second thing was that This matter is related to Zhao Wujue’s identity.”

Cheng Qing's expression became serious and he said, "I expected that he would gather a large number of troops, but what exactly is going on with his identity?"

"This is what Ningbai remembered recently." Cheng Yue thought about what An and Wang said, sighed, and said: "Zhao Wujue went to the Taoist temple to become a monk because of the death of his mother and concubine, but you know his How did the mother-in-law die?" Cheng Qing thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, she was given a glass of poisoned wine by the emperor. It is said that she made a very serious mistake."

Cheng Yue continued, and said: "But no one knows what the serious mistake he made is. Those who knew the inside story back then are now dead."

Cheng Qing nodded.

"However, there is no airtight wall in this world. The scene of the execution of the imperial concubine was happened to be secretly witnessed by Ningbai. She was still young at the time and did not understand what was going on, but he saw the imperial concubine and a man with his own eyes. They were both drunk with poisonous wine." Cheng Yue said calmly.

Cheng Qing never thought that he would hear such news about the late emperor again. It seemed that the late emperor was also a cuckold.

But I don’t know who the person who is having an affair with the imperial concubine is.

"In that case, Zhao Wujue is very likely not a dragon heir?"

"This cannot be determined at this point. Since Zhao Wujue was not executed at the beginning, but he was allowed to go to a Taoist temple to become a monk, it means that he is most likely the son of the late emperor."

"That's right. Your Majesty can't let others cuckold him for nothing." Cheng Qing thought for a while and realized that the late emperor he knew would never tolerate this.

"But we can't be completely sure. Think about it, all the signs now prove that he is probably not the son of the late emperor." Cheng Yue said.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Qing asked, raising his eyebrows.

Cheng Yue took out a few pictures from his sleeves, handed them to her, and said, "These are the portraits of the previous emperor and prince of the Yuan Kingdom that I bought from Qianji Pavilion."

Cheng Qing took it and unfolded it to look at it.

Cheng Yue continued: "At first, I asked the people from Qianji Pavilion to help me find people in the Yuan Kingdom who looked similar to Zhao Wujue. Who knew that they found the Yuan Kingdom royal family as soon as they checked. These people are all in the royal family. Among people, he looks most like Zhao Wujue."

The paintings given by Cheng Yue not only contain portraits, but also their identity information.

Cheng Qing seemed to know one or two of them. After all, they had fought against each other on the battlefield, so they were considered old opponents.

"No wonder I felt a bit familiar when I first saw Zhao Wujue. I always thought it was because of Wuyuan, that's why I felt familiar. Now it seems that this is the reason."

Cheng Yue said: "After returning to the military camp from my adoptive father, I have been thinking about it, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhao Wu is definitely not the descendant of the late emperor. They must have used some means to confuse the late emperor, and then took the opportunity to let him Zhao Wujue hid out. Over the years, Zhao Wujue had never returned once for the reason of becoming a monk. Even this time when the late emperor passed away, he did not come back until after the person died. Mostly out of fear What did the late emperor discover?"

Cheng Qing nodded, "That should be the case. The late emperor summoned the envoys of the Yuan Kingdom many times, and among those envoys were the people in this portrait."
