Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 423 I have a way
She still remembered Xu Jing's experience in the letters he sent to her, from the beginning as a pawn, step by step to become a centurion, a thousand commander, and finally standing alone, becoming a truly brave general.

At that time, he was only 24 years old, and he still had a lot of time and opportunities to temper himself and become the strongest existence.

Since that person could easily cover Wen Chan to kill her, why couldn't he simply get rid of Xu Jing as well?
Apart from him, isn't it more valuable than removing Zhang Ying?

"But the Zhang family still had Wen Chan back then, what if Xu Jing accepted Wen Chan at that time?" Qi Jiu heard this, pondered for a moment, and then asked decisively.

"Besides, if Emperor Yongding and Zhang Xu's family really planned to join forces to rule the court, even if they didn't marry, they could still join hands."

Shen Xi shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since it's a marriage, it naturally has the effect of caring for and restraining each other.

"Just because you've been with me for a long time, don't think that a patriotic family like the Zhang family and the Xu family has no calculations in their hearts.

"The more powerful the person, the more he has calculations, because they will worry about and protect more things.

"In this case, with the in-law relationship as a restraint, it will be relatively stable.

"As for your claim that Xu Jing accepts Wen Chan—"

Having said that, she turned to look at her: "First of all, I know that Xu Jing doesn't like Wen Chan.

"Secondly, if Wen Chan really marries, there will only be advantages and no disadvantages for the person behind him. Maybe he is really looking forward to letting Wen Chan marry instead of me.

"Because he has Wen Chan to kill me, it is enough to control her.

"Since his purpose is to destroy the Great Qin, then Wen Chan must be of some use to him if he becomes the wife of Anguo Gong's son who is in charge of the Chinese military governor's mansion.

"So he would want Wen Chan to succeed instead.

"However, when Wen Chan failed and he found out that he had overestimated her, she became his abandoned child."

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, things have changed so much that even this person no longer bothers to use her.

After all, since Prince Cheng's mansion was assassinated again, there has never been such an incident in the capital.

Qi Jiu bowed his head for a while, and then asked: "If the Zhang family and the Xu family married in order to form a strong political security for the Great Qin Dynasty, then even if the Zhang family has no young lady, the Xiao family still has one.

"If Empress Xiao's natal family had promised the young lady to Xu Jing, what would this person do?"

Shen Xi was silent for a moment, then said: "Naturally, the Miss Xiao family will end up in the same end as me."

She stretched out her hand to pluck an orchid, and continued: "If my guess is correct, as long as a young lady from the Zhang family's Xiao family marries in, or a young lady from the Xu family marries in, she will definitely end up in a terrible end.

"That's why I feel more and more that my death was not an accident, and that Wen Chan was nothing more than a pure executioner.

"If Wen Chan hadn't succeeded that day, or had retreated before the battle, the knife hidden in the dark would have cut my throat.

"So fortunately, no one from our family married the Xu family again, otherwise, there would only be more tragedies like this."

Poor Wen Chan thought she was the big winner, but in fact she was just an unwanted pawn.Of course, it is undeniable that she is still very lucky.

Qi Jiuhuan put her chest on her chest, sorted out the reasons again, and then raised her head again: "If this is the case, many things can be explained."

For example, why were the corpses humiliated on the night of the death of Prince Cheng's mansion, and it was carried out without anyone noticing...

"So, doesn't this person have a lot to do with Tuoba Jun?!"

Otherwise, how could they have left no trace?And his purpose is to destroy Daqin!Where would he be if he wasn't in the Great Zhou Army?
"Could it be... this person will be Li Ding?!"

Her mind went up and down several times, as if rolling over and over again in these questions.

"Li Ding is only five years older than King Yan, how could it be him? Even if he is still alive, he should at least be Wen Chan's age."

Shen Xi laughed, but she immediately suppressed her smile again.

Seeing this, Qi Jiu hurriedly said, "What did you think of?"

She shook her head, frowning silently.

After a while, he said again: "Let's talk about Xu Jing first.

"I heard from the old man that based on the attack on the wharf and the prince, the other party seems to be targeting He Lanzhun and Huo Jiu.

"The prince also once said that the suspected perpetrator was related to the incident in Prince Cheng's mansion, so—"

Speaking of which, she looked up at her deeply: "Why did they find He Lanzhun and them?"

Qi Jiu's heart moved slightly, and he said, "What do you mean?"

"You should still remember that I told you that He Lanzhun and Xu Jing look very much alike."

Shen Xi's speech slowed down, but he was equally dignified.

"If it is said that the target of the opponent is He Lanzhun and Huo Jiu, then I am more willing to believe that it is for He Lanzhun.

"Because if the person behind this is the same person, he must recognize that He Lanzhun has the same appearance as Xu Jing. Seeing He Lanzhun, wouldn't he have any doubts about him?!"

Qi Jiu froze, as if she had stopped breathing.

"You mean, that person not only didn't die, but now he's after He Lanzhun?
"But if this is the case, then why is it at this time? Why didn't he make any moves for so many years before?"

"This is also what I don't understand." Shen Xi's eyes were deep.

"But I guess he didn't move before, maybe because there was no doubt about his parentage.

"After all, the King of Yan must know the details of He Lanzhun. King Yan is one of the main generals who destroyed the Great Qin Dynasty. It is impossible for him to reuse a person with a suspicious background.

"As for his recent sudden movement—

"Then either something happened recently that alarmed him, who had been dormant for a long time, and suddenly made him more suspicious of He Lanzhun. For example, he suspected that he was Xu Jing's resurrection..."

Shen Xi's eyes were burning, and suddenly they brightened abnormally.

Qi Jiu held his breath for a while, and said: "But this is speculation after all. Resurrection is rare. Besides, He Lan has denied it so many times—you won't believe it?"

"Maybe it's an excuse?" She bit her lower lip.

Qi Jiu paused for a moment, then slowed down his tone: "But he also told you clearly that he has someone he likes, and he is just an ordinary friend to you, and Shizi also knows this.

"If he is Xu Jing, it is impossible for him to hear Xu Xiaoqi and not recognize you."

"No, what you said is more doubtful evidence." She retorted.

"I didn't say that I like him either. Why did he tell me that he has someone else he likes? Why is he afraid that I won't believe him, and still say that the son knows? He is clearly guilty of guilt!"

Qi Jiuran: "Then why did the son help him lie?"

Shen Xi paused.

After a while, she said again: "He is jealous, maybe he just said that to prevent me from having half-hearted thoughts about He Lanzhun."

Qi Jiu sighed.

"I just found out today that you are so stubborn."

Shen Xi bit his lip and smiled again.

Instead, she gradually stopped her smile, looked out the window and murmured: "I will find a way to confirm my guess."
