Chapter 216 The New Year is Coming

Las Vegas.

"What happened fifteen years ago you are referring to?!"

Hearing Ji Wushuang's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but clenched his fists, asked in a deep voice, and listened with bated breath.

"At that time, when the Northern Barbarian Dynasty was at war with Li Guo, the border between the two countries was unstable, the lives were devastated, and corpses were everywhere. The Northern Barbarian Dynasty already had less troops than Li Guo, and coupled with the lack of treasury, it was gradually declining, and it seemed that it had persisted.

It won’t be long.”

"Then suddenly one day, I received a secret letter from the king, which was stamped with the seal of Li Guo. It was a letter asking for peace and alliance!"

"The letter mentioned that in exchange for the thirteen cities on the border of Liguo, it asked the leader of our country to secretly find a Meizu woman and send it to the capital of Liguo. If agreed, Liguo will immediately truce and withdraw its troops!"

"Wushuang was still young at that time, but he had just turned twelve. I only heard about these things after I was ordered to come to the capital. I remember that after the two countries had a truce for half a year, Li Guo happened to be drafting girls in the palace."

"As agreed, the leader of our country sent someone to send a Meizu woman to the capital and entered the palace. Then half a year later, the news of the sudden death of the Li Kingdom spread throughout the world!"

After Ji Wushuang hesitated for a moment, he slowly replied while recalling.

After listening to Ji Wushuang's answer, among the people present, Cao Zian looked the most excited, because he was the only person here who had personally experienced that past!

"Thirteen cities on the border?!"

"It turns out that the thirteen cities on the border were lost like this?! Thirteen cities, tens of thousands of people, just to exchange for one woman?!"

Cao Zian gritted his teeth and couldn't help but said with a look of reluctance.

Pang Xun was still a national counselor at that time, so he naturally knew some things about the front line. In his memory, it was due to improper command of the front line of the Liguo army, which led to the army's defeat and the loss of thirteen cities in succession. In the end, he had no choice but to negotiate peace.

But it wasn't until today that he realized that it was just a show that someone had painstakingly planned!

"I heard that the late emperor suddenly contracted a strange illness before his death. Some people said he was poisoned. Do you know?"

Li Wuji looked at Ji Wushuang calmly and continued to ask.

"That's the poison of charm! Every Mei tribe girl has studied the art of charm since she was a child and is proficient in the poison of charm. There must be someone who covets the throne of the emperor of Li Kingdom, so they would give up the thirteen cities in the north to trade."

"So this is the reason why I sent people to follow the young master to silence him. What happened for fifteen years must not be known to anyone. Otherwise, once it is exposed, it will cause another war in the Northern Barbarian Dynasty. It is impossible for the whole country to let the Northern Barbarians go."

quite!"

Ji Wushuang smiled bitterly, not hiding anything.

"Are you also a member of the Meizu?"

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes or no, it doesn't matter at this moment."

Ji Wushuang said with a wry smile.

"Then how did you use charm to control my people and kill Fu'an?"

"How can you control his mind when you are in Kyoto?!"

Li Wuji asked immediately.

"Actually, I don't have to show up. I just need to send someone to follow the young master secretly and give him orders with a bamboo whistle. It is a special bamboo whistle. The sound of the whistle cannot be heard by ordinary people. Only those who have been charmed can hear it.

Only then can you hear clearly.”

Ji Wushuang pursed her lips and smiled, knowing everything.

After hearing Ji Wushuang's answer, Li Wuji frowned and finally solved the doubts in his mind. However, he didn't expect that he was being followed along the way without even noticing.

"Do you know who wrote that letter?"

After a moment of silence, Li Wuji asked calmly.

"I don't know, but now it seems that this person is self-evident."

Ji Wushuang shook his head and said with a smile. His whole person suddenly became listless and his face was full of decadence.

Perhaps, she had already anticipated her ending.

After hearing Ji Wushuang's answer, Li Wuji frowned slightly and sneered helplessly.

Yes, now that things have happened, it is almost impossible to guess who this person is.

Apart from the late emperor, the only people who can touch the jade seal are the empress and the prince. And the person who betrayed Li Guo will never be the prince. So the only person who betrayed Li Guo is the woman who is so high up now!

After thinking about this, Li Wuji suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, even though he was not from this world and was not the real grandson of the Emperor of Li Kingdom!

But at this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of patriotism, maybe because of Pang Xun's appearance, or maybe because of the nightmares he had experienced in the ten years of hell.

The kind-hearted and kind-hearted prince who loved his people like a son.

The gentle, virtuous, and protective Crown Princess.

"One more question. I think you have been lurking in the capital for quite some time. Do you know who was the person who sent that Meizu woman to the palace back then?"

After a moment of silence, Li Wuji spoke again.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Wenqing!"

Ji Wushuang hesitated for a moment and answered slowly.

Hearing Ji Wushuang's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, showing a look of surprise.

Zhu Wenqing was one of the few former ministers of the previous dynasty. He was already quite old. He had served as the Minister of Household Affairs when the late emperor was in power, and he had a reputation for being honest.

Unexpectedly, this upright official in the eyes of the people of the capital turned out to be an accomplice of the tyrants fifteen years ago! I can’t help but sigh!

"Young Master, even though I concealed my identity as a Northern Barbarian spy, Wu Shuang has never thought of harming you!"

"Wushuang knows that the young master, like me, hates the world today, and even hates leaving the country. Wushuang has never thought of becoming an enemy of the young master, just because he is in the situation, there are some things that he cannot help himself, and he has to do it as a last resort.

"

Ji Wushuang looked at Li Wuji with red eyes and said with a hint of sobs.

"When did you know my identity?"

Li Wuji looked at Ji Wushuang, who was full of regret, and asked lightly.

At this moment, he no longer regarded Ji Wushuang as his own.

"After the young master first arrived in Jiuyou Realm and looked for the ghost guy, after many inquiries, Wushuang knew the question that the young master asked the ghost guy. But don't worry, the young master. Although Wushuang knew that the young master was an old man from the previous dynasty, he didn't know the young master's identity.

Specific identity.”

Ji Wushuang replied seriously.

"Have you guessed my identity since then?"

After listening to this, Li Wuji frowned and said with a wry smile.

Only then did he realize that he had been exposed from the beginning, and that Ji Wushuang had not revealed the slightest flaw for so long, hiding it so deeply.

At this moment, he felt some indescribable depression and discomfort in his heart, perhaps because of Ji Wushuang's betrayal, or perhaps because he regretted gradually treating Ji Wushuang as one of his own.

"Everything is Wushuang's fault, but again, Wushuang has never thought of being an enemy of the Young Master, whether the Young Master believes it or not."

Ji Wushuang seemed to see the struggle in Li Wuji's expression, sighed and said seriously.

"I don't care."

"I believe the person you control with your charm technique is not just the one last night, right?"

Li Wuji sneered, said something disdainfully, and then continued to ask with a stern face.

"Yes, this is the list."

Ji Wushuang answered decisively, reached out and took out a piece of paper, and presented it with both hands respectfully.

Perhaps, she had already expected that such a day would come and had been prepared from the beginning.

Li Wuji took the note, glanced at it casually, and then handed it to Cao Zian.

Cao Zian took it respectfully and browsed the list with Di Long. Soon their expressions changed.

On the list, there are not only the guys from Wuji Tower and Gambling House, but also people from Tianyuan and Tianshu!

"Any solution?"

Li Wuji asked coldly while lowering his head to pour himself a cup of tea.

After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly poured another glass for Ji Wushuang.

Seeing Li Wuji's move, Ji Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became emotional, and a tear instantly slipped from the corner of his eye.

"No solution."

Ji Wushuang shook his head and replied slowly, with a hint of crying in his voice.

Hearing this answer, Li Wuji was not surprised at all, because he had already expected this result.
