The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 891 What a Trap
The aura that Zhao Xu had gathered just now weakened in just these two sentences, and the aura was like a tiger at one stroke, then weakened, and exhausted at the third.

Zhao Xu originally wanted to use his aura to directly kill these people with one blow, but now it seemed impossible.

Standing with his sword in his hand, Zhao Xu asked:
"It seems that it is true. You deliberately lured me here. Now that your goal has been achieved, I wonder if you can let me know who you are?"

Zhao Xu put his sword back into his scabbard, as if he was relieved, and chatted with them directly, as if they were old friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It doesn't matter who we are. The key is whether what we want is in His Highness. Don't deny it in a hurry, Your Highness. If we are not fully sure, we will not lead you here."

This person seemed to be the leader of these people, because he was always talking, and the others were silent behind him.

"What, I really don't know. The reason you brought me here is to hide and seek, right? Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Zhao Xu was now pretending to be deaf and dumb. Just now he heard that they wanted relics, but now he said he didn't know what they meant.

"Your Highness is also a wonderful person. He might not know what we want. I've already said it just now, and I don't want to say it a second time."

"Well, how do you know that the thing is on me? I remember that our Song Dynasty was taken away by someone on the way to Shu. How can you conclude that it is on me?"

Zhao Xu really had such a question, how did these people know that they had relics.

No more than three people knew about this matter, and now the court of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to put pressure on Hou Shu to get them back.

The tone of these people's words, they are very sure that this thing is on their body, which means that they definitely know the exact whereabouts of relic.

The relic was on his body, it was something from Song Dynasty, and Zhao Xu was about to take them back, but even Miao Xun himself didn't say that the relic lost by Daxiangguo Temple was now on his body.

These people set up such a big game just to ask themselves who came to ask for this relic. If they didn’t have definite information, otherwise they wouldn’t have spent so much effort to invite their own.

"Hahaha, you are quite curious, but we have plenty of time here to chat with His Highness. It seems that you are quite cunning, Your Highness. Since you want to know, I can tell you."

This man seemed to know what Zhao Xu wanted to ask, and he was not afraid of Zhao Xu's delay here, because there were no rescuers.

This place was impossible for ordinary people to find. Besides, when Zhao Xu came in, their people had already looked at it, and there was no one behind Zhao Xu.

This meant that Zhao Xu came here alone, and they were not afraid of Zhao Xu's tricks when he came here, so they had plenty of time.

"If the relic is not on your body, there is no need for us to spend so much effort to invite you here. I wonder if you still remember a man named Li Zhong?"

The visitor asked with a smile, looking at Zhao Xu playfully, "Since we know that the relic is on you, there must be our way."

"Okay, I will send Li Zhong back to Song Dynasty. Since you asked Li Zhong, it seems that you have already met him, otherwise you would not be so sure. What did you do to him?"

When Zhao Xu heard him say Li Zhong's name, there was nothing to refute. Li Zhong had given the relic to him in person.

So no third person would know, they said Li Zhong's name, and asked him to lead him here, asking himself for the relic, which meant that they really wanted to know the relic on their body.

"Don't worry, he has nothing to do. He is still thanking you in Da Song for allowing them to live a stable life. He didn't say anything, he just said that the relic is with you."

He knew what Zhao Xu was going to ask, and people like Li Zhong couldn't get into their eyes at all. Besides, killing Li Zhong wouldn't do them any good, so why kill him like this.

"We still have to thank you. Without you, Li Zhong wouldn't have told us that the relic was with you. It seems that your name, Zhao Xu, is still pretty good."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Xu could have made a guess. These people probably got the news of the relic from Li Zhong in their own name.

Fortunately, they didn't kill Li Zhong, otherwise Zhao Xu really felt a little guilty, because at that time they really died for their own reasons.

"It seems that your energy is not small, and you can get such news from Li Zhong. It seems that I have your people in Da Song, otherwise, this situation will not happen. Li Zhong and the others went to Da Song except The higher-ups of Song Dynasty know, it seems that I have a traitor somewhere."

Zhao Xu said with certainty that these people's energy could be so great. When Zhao Xu released the carrier pigeon back to Song Dynasty, it was a very secret thing. First, they actually knew about Li Zhong.

It is not surprising to know Li Zhong, but the strange thing is that they know that Li Zhong is in the territory of Song Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that there are people from them at the top of Song Dynasty?
This was what Zhao Xu was most worried about. Isn't it scary that the top leaders of Song Dynasty already have their own people? This meant that some secrets might not be kept in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu broke into a cold sweat. It was terrible. It would be a pity to lose a relic. It would be the most terrible thing if someone inserted someone into his center.

I originally brought this relic because they are national treasures and must not fall into the hands of other countries.

Even so, if he had to choose between saving his life and losing the relic, Zhao Xu would probably choose to lose the relic.

The key was that Zhao Xu didn't know what this group of people wanted the relics for, nor did Zhao Xu know the true identity of this group of people.

This is a bit of a problem. I don't know who it is or what they want for this thing, which makes Zhao Xu feel that it is very difficult.

Just like what they said just now, this is a trap prepared for themselves, so today is really a disaster for me.

What's more, he actually knew his identity and forced him to ask for a relic, which meant that he was destined to leave his life here.

It stands to reason that after knowing Zhao Xu's identity, there are only two possibilities, one is flattery, and of course the other is to kill himself.

Obviously the people behind belong to the latter, judging by their attitude towards themselves, they are the kind of masters who kill people and seize treasures.

In other words, they both wanted the relics and wanted to get rid of themselves. The reason they didn't have anything now was that they didn't know where Zhao Xu put the relics.
