Chapter 955: Sending a Letter (Third Shift)

Chu Li bid farewell to Prince Bao and returned to Xiao Qi's side.

"What happened?" Xiao Shi covered her face with a white veil, staring at him with deep and bright eyes.

Chu Li shook his head and said, "You'll know when you get back, it's better not to say anything."

"Joe San!" Leng Tao, who had been listening to him all the time, shouted loudly.

"My lord!" Qiao San was following behind the guards of Prince An's Mansion, only ten steps away. Hearing Leng Tao's greeting, Qiao San hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists, "What is your order?"

"What happened in the city?" Leng Tao snorted.

This Qiao San is meticulous in his actions, he is very good at serving people, and his mind is sober. He has already done everything without waiting for orders.

Qiao San looked around, showing a perplexed expression.

"There are no outsiders here, just say it!" Leng Tao snorted.

Qiao San lowered his voice: "It is said that Princess Ping was assassinated and died."

Chu Li looked at Leng Tao helplessly.

Leng Tao cried out: "Fourth aunt died?"

"Yes." Qiao San nodded slightly.

"How is it possible!" Leng Tao couldn't believe it.

The guards in Prince Ping's mansion are tight, and those guards are all battle-tested warriors. They are a bit stronger than martial arts masters in terms of killing, but they failed to protect Princess Ping and were killed!

Qiao San lowered his voice and said, "This is how the news spread."

Leng Tao looked at Chu Li: "Director Chu, is it true?"

Chu Li glanced at the girls whose faces changed slightly, and said, "Why do you say this, it will affect everyone's mood."

"Who the hell is still in the mood!" Leng Tao shouted.

Chu Li said angrily: "Everyone is dead, and everyone has to live their lives as usual. People are dying all the time in this world."

"So, is he really dead?" Leng Tao asked hastily.

Chu Li nodded: "Dead."

Leng Tao murmured in disbelief: "Dead?"

He always thought that he was an emperor and was far away from death. No one dared to kill him. The death of Princess Ping rushed towards him like a flood that burst a bank. It turned out that death was very close to him!

Sitting on the horse, Xiao Shi lazily said: "It's just an assassination, let's see how promising you are!"

Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were also in a daze at first, but when they heard Xiao Shi's clear voice, they came back to their senses and realized that the princess was assassinated not once or twice, and she is still alive and well.

So the assassination is not so terrible, the guards of the palace are strong enough.

Leng Tao looked up and met Xiao Shi's deep bright eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He blushed a little and turned his head away.

Xiao Shi turned to Chu Li: "Who did it?"

Chu Li said: "It's hard to say now, we are investigating."

"You are so courageous, you are not afraid of King Ping's revenge?"

"Who said it wasn't?"

Seeing his perfunctory demeanor, Xiao Shi obviously didn't want to say anything, so she just gave him a blank look and didn't ask any further questions.

——

Chu Li and Prince Bao stood on the tower, looking at the cavalry fighting on the prairie in the distance.

Leng Tao hadn't recovered yet, a small mistake was caught by the opponent, and he was defeated. Prince Debao kept shaking his head.

Footsteps sounded, and a guard in black clothes went up the tower and climbed the stairs. It was a secret guard of the Secret Guard Mansion.

Chu Li turned to look at him: "Qi Meng."

"Commander Chu, this is a letter from Commander Xu." Qi Meng handed over a letter with both hands.

Chu Li took it over: "It's hard work."

Qi Meng took a step back.

Chu Li quickly scanned the letter paper and handed it to Prince Bao.

After Prince Bao saw it, his face darkened: "It turned out to be them!"

Chu Li reached out for the letter paper, rubbed it lightly and turned it into powder, and sighed: "I didn't expect it to be them!"

He turned his head and looked at Qi Meng: "I'm sorry, tell Commander Xu, I know,... Qi Meng, don't let others know about the letter you sent me. There has never been such a letter. Commander Xu called me back when you came !"

"Yes." Qi Meng cupped his fists and saluted, retreated to the stairs, turned around and went down the stairs, galloping away on horseback.

The two leaned on the exquisite railings carved with flowers and plants, looked at the grassland in the distance, and remained silent.

A gust of wind blew, Prince Bao's purple robe fluttered, and Chu Li's white robe fluttered.

After a while, Prince Bao said: "Do you think the emperor will hide this news and not tell King Ping?"

"How can we guess what the emperor is thinking." Chu Li shook his head and said: "But in my opinion, the emperor has no plans to fight on two fronts, and it is already very difficult to deal with Dali. If there is another war, the national strength will not be able to support it. In the end... ..."

"That's right..." Prince Bao sighed, shook his head and said, "It's just that Prince Ping has suffered."

"If the emperor keeps the truth from King Ping, he is afraid that father and son will turn against each other in the end." Chu Li frowned and said: "Now only the three of us know the truth, and the emperor only has four. If King Ping finds out someday, we will not be able to escape. No one knows whether the emperor will take his anger out on the responsibility if he loses his responsibility."

"I will advise Brother Huang to tell Prince Ping frankly." Prince Bao nodded.

Even if the emperor does not vent his anger, he will lose his holy family, and the consequences will be serious, so he must kill it in the bud.

"Chu Li, you should be an official in the court, and you will surely reach a high position." Prince Bao smiled.

This Chu Li is thoughtful and keen, and can often predict the danger one step in advance and eliminate it. If he enters the court, he will be like a fish in water.

Chu Li smiled and said, "I'm a warrior, how can I be an official in the court, I prefer to be at ease."

Prince Bao nodded: "That's true, once you become an official, you will be put on a rope."

"Now that Dali and Daqiu are about to fight, do you think it's time to take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury and clean up Dali?"

"I think it's still necessary to fight, but it doesn't have to be too hard, just involve a part of the troops, so that Dali can't deal with Daqiu wholeheartedly."

"Isn't this cheaper for Daqiu?"

"If you don't fight, it will be cheaper, and it will be the lesser of two evils."

"Da Li is not Da Qiu's opponent. Even if we don't make trouble, they will still lose. Maybe they will be wiped out by Da Qiu."

"My lord, don't forget that there is Da Fu." Chu Li shook his head and said, "He will not allow Da Qiu to destroy Da Li."

"Master..." Prince Bao gritted his teeth and snorted, "It's just a shit stick!"

Chu Li smiled and nodded.

Da Fu regards himself as the leader of all the countries. In order to prevent the other four countries from challenging his position, he has been sowing dissension and not allowing the two neighboring countries to have harmonious relations, otherwise he will not be able to sit still.

Once the two countries join forces, or even the three countries join forces, no matter how strong Da Fu is, he will not be able to stand it. Even if he wins, his vitality will be greatly damaged, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Prince Bao sighed: "This is the sorrow of a weak country, but we don't need to worry about these things, let the emperor worry about it, we just obey!"

Chu Li nodded.

Their status can't decide these things, they can only talk about them.

After the hunting ceremony was over, when Chu Li and the others returned to Prince An's Mansion, no one in the city knew the news that Princess Ping had been assassinated and died. People were in panic. If Princess Ping could be killed, who would be safe?

Prince An's Mansion is stable as usual. They have experienced many assassinations. Whether it is the various sects of Daji Wulin or Dali's Guangming Sacred Church, they have all visited Prince An's Mansion, but they have not been able to win favors. It is as stable as a rock.

After eating at noon, Chu Li was talking to Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi in the Tianshu Courtyard, about the assassination of Princess Ping, and several guards committed suicide, which made Xiao Shi feel a little sorry.

Suddenly, Zhu Tianhua's voice came from outside: "General Manager, there is a guard surnamed Qi asking to see you outside."

"Let him in." Chu Li said.

After a while, Qi Meng in black clothes strode in, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen the centurion."

Chu Li waved his hand: "What's the matter?"

Qi Meng looked around.

Chu Li nodded, got up and said, "Come with me."
