    The truth comes out

    Zuo Songqing “picked up” Gu Xunzhu in Han Zhong’s mansion.

    At that time, Zuo Songqing met Qin Zhi on the road and said that he would help find clues about the luthier. Qin Zhi only treated him as a courtesy. In fact, Zuo Songqing actually went to look for him, and even “drilled” directly to the Han Mansion to look for him.

    However, the piano master was not found, and he found Qin Zhi’s younger brother, who was also one of the three people who came out of Xuanhui Valley this time – Xuan Shu Gu Xun Zhu.

    After Gu Xunzhu came down from the mountain, he originally went to the Kingdom of Wu. Unexpectedly, he was taken aback by the monarch of the Kingdom of Wu.He has always regarded himself as a person from the worldly world and does not like to be tied down by worldly things.At this time, it was no longer possible to rely on King Wu to help him complete the competition in the valley, so he had to move to Jiang State.

    But he didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived in Zhengyang, he would be targeted by his senior brother Xuanmou. He was put in a sack and sent directly to Han’s house. He was forced to do some traps on the grounds of not being given food, including the sleeve arrow that Han Hao tried to shoot Qin Zhi in the hunting ground.

    The Xiujian used a cowhide ring to provide the launch force and ice to fix the mechanism. When Zuo Songqing checked Han Hao’s arm, he only found water stains and the cowhide ring, but no other hidden weapons.

    It is indeed karma.

    Another mechanism made by Gu Xunzhu was also used on Han Hao. It was the silver blade that sealed Mr. Han’s throat.

    The silver blades were made of more than a dozen kinds of very fine silk threads, ranging from soft to strong, twisted on the same very fine silver wires. Gu Xunzhu made two blades in total.

    One of them became a hidden weapon for his own self-defense. It was the one that was used to break Han Zhong’s saber before.

    The other one was forced to be made into a mechanism and fixed in the alley that Han Hao had to pass when he came out of the flower house. When Qin Zhi took action, Xuanmou Shen Cangwu cut the mechanism that fixed the silver blade in the distance, and the force of the throw was enough to cut his throat.

    Shen Cangwu then used the automatic machine pulley to quickly take away the silver blade and put the blame on Qin Zhi.

    Poor Han Zhong still doesn’t know that the counselor he accidentally met who said he would help him get rid of Qin Zhi was the real murderer of his legitimate son.

    Let’s talk about Gu Xunzhu. After he was “stolen” from Han Mansion by Zuo Songqing, he hid in Zuo Mansion.

    When he learned that Qin Zhi was exiled, he was about to come out and explain the truth, but was stopped by Zuo Songqing.

    Zuo Songqing deliberately told him that after Qin Zhi left, King Jiang immediately received “new help”. Gu Xunzhu knew immediately that Qin Zhi was being plotted by King Jiang and Xuanmou, and it would not help if he told the truth.

    Until Shen Cangwu overheard the confession between King Jiang and Zuo Songqing, saying that he wanted to kill celebrities in the decisive battle to unify the world and rectify the authority of the royal family. Shen Cangwu was so angry that he fled back to Weiguo overnight, exposing his monstrous ambition.

    There was another battle between Jiang Wei and Qin Zhi. The three apprentices secretly taught by Qin Zhi in Xiyun were victorious in three battles. At the reward banquet, they “confessed” Qin Zhi together to clear their master’s name. Only then did Zuo Songqing recommend Gu Xunzhu, and Gu Xunzhu brought an imperial edict to pardon Qin Zhi.

    The past is complicated.

    However, there seems to be an invisible big hand behind everything, pushing everything.

    Gu Xunzhu’s half-hearted “divine calculation” would like to call it – “destiny”.

    “Well, let’s put it this way, Shen Cangwu is probably the national master of the Wu Kingdom who has never seen the beginning or end of the dragon.”

    Gu Xunzhu lay on the table with his head propped up, looking at Qin Zhi and Zuo Songqing opposite, feeling a little annoyed.

    “If I had known earlier, I would have turned a deaf ear to King Wu and killed him!”

    “You know it’s hard to buy.”

    Qin Zhi touched the top of Gu Xunzhu’s head lovingly, “This is not your fault.”

    After touching it, he felt that two sharp gazes were about to burn him through. One came from Zuo Songqing next to him, and the other…

    When he looked up, sure enough, King Jiang came in.

    King Jiang put on a bad face, ignored the three people’s greetings, found a stool at the round table, and sat opposite Qin Zhi, “Continue.”

    Gu Xunzhu looked left and right, scratched the back of his head, suppressed the embarrassment in the air, sat down again, and asked Qin Zhi and Zuo Songqing to sit down.

    Zuo Songqing frowned, “It stands to reason that since King Wu’s legitimate son is young, wouldn’t it be easier to control over there? Why did Shen Cangwu choose Weiguo in the end?”

    Qin Zhi chuckled softly from his nose. Jiang Wang kept paying attention to his movements and asked in a gentle tone, “Qin Qing knows?”

    Qin Zhi touched the tip of his nose and said “cough cough” twice, “I guess I should know. However, I doze off very easily during that gentleman’s class and I feel confused. Although I have a guess, I can’t be sure. I’ll let my junior brother tell me.”

    Zuo Songqing looked at Gu Xunzhu expectantly and proudly, “Well, Ah Zhu is the most eager to learn.”

    The tone of these words seemed familiar to Qin Zhi, just like when he thought of King Jiang in the past.

    He glanced back and forth between Gu Xunzhu and Zuo Songqing with understanding, a pleased smile on his face.

    These little moves could not escape Jiang Wang’s eyes, so the three of them clearly felt that His Majesty’s pressure was instantly heavier. It is true that the king is moody and angry, and he is like a tiger accompanying you.

    Gu Xunzhu cleared his throat, broke the strange atmosphere, and said loudly on purpose: “Your Majesty is unaware of something. Senior brother is extremely talented. If he had listened carefully to the lectures back then, he would have been given the title of Mystical Conspiracy and Mystical Art. Shen Cangwu and I would have had no way to survive.”

    Having said this, he bowed to Qin Zhi with his hands folded and said jokingly: “Thank you, senior brother, for being such a naughty boy back then and giving him a chance to go down the mountain. Hahahaha…”

    As expected, Jiang Wang looked at Qin Zhi with a complicated expression, as if he was surprised and surprised.Gu Xunzhu smiled, very satisfied.Qin Zhi just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in. King Jiang never looked down on him. His junior brother praised him so much, which would make King Jiang feel boring and inexplicable.

    He also looked back at the monarch, and then he was surprised, what was King Jiang’s expression?

    Like…satisfied?Or…satisfied?

    Just now… Zuo Songqing looked at his junior brother with the same look…

    Qin Zhi was speechless, lowered his head, and kicked the strange conclusion out of his mind.

    “Actually, Shen Cangwu is destined to choose Weiguo, and he will only choose Weiguo.”

    Gu Xunzhu explained, “It’s a long story. Rumor has it that Xuanhui Valley is opened every thirty years, and each time three people come out of the valley to choose a wise king to rule the troubled times. No one knows their criteria for choosing a master, but they all try their best to get them. They are called – ‘famous people’.”

    Zuo Songqing knocked on the table lightly: “We know these, tell us something we don’t know.”

    Gu Xunzhu glanced at Zuo Songqing and continued: “The three men are each good at different things, such as strategy, force, various agencies, or business wizards… Some kings even thought of taking all three, but in fact, even getting one would be extremely lucky. Just because some people speculated based on the situation after the last time they opened the valley, after the three people came out of the valley, they seemed to be unable to reveal their identities for some reason, and they could only choose one monarch each, and they would fight against each other until the winner was determined in the end.”

    “Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng analyzed the chaos of the last thirty years and identified the three people who came out of the valley last time. They may be Wei Yan, the general of the Li Kingdom, Zhang Mingning, the national advisor of the Min Kingdom, and Shen Yi, the prime minister of the Jiang Kingdom.”

    “The three countries of Li, Min, and Jiang each destroyed some small countries under the plans of these people, and became stronger. But in the end, Li and Min fought fiercely under Jiang’s calculations, consuming their national power, and were eventually destroyed by Jiang.”

    Hearing this, the second generation leader of the Jiang Kingdom nodded, “I heard my father mentioned it.”

    “Originally, the Jiang Kingdom should have unified the world at this point, but on the eve of King Jiang’s aspiration for the supreme position, the news of Shen Yi’s sudden death spread like snowflakes in the sky. Two disaffected generals in the Jiang Kingdom rose up and rebelled against their own country. They established the later Wei and Wu and fought against Jiang for nearly thirty years.”

    Jiang Wang frowned.Gu Xunzhu just pretended not to see it and continued talking.

    “Everyone knows that Jiang Ming, the founding monarch of King Jiang, was unkind. He wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but he didn’t expect that Shen Yi would hide his secrets and destroy his dream of becoming emperor after his death.”

    “Since then, the monarchs of the three kingdoms have been waiting for the next harvest, and they have all invariably cultivated their own reputations for “benevolence and righteousness”, fearing that the new celebrities who came out of the valley would be afraid of Shen Yi.”

    “The Jiang Kingdom, which has already suffered from infamy, is particularly anxious after the opening of the valley. The new generation of Jiang King even discovered clues about celebrities in military intelligence reports, went to the battlefield to confirm, and later surrendered the Weiguo prisoner – Qin Zhi.”

    After the words fell, several people looked at Qin Zhi at the same time.

    Qin Zhi lowered his eyes and frowned, with a calm expression, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

    “Everyone is involved in what happened next, so we all know about it.” Gu Xunzhu crossed his arms.

    “It is said that the person who separated Jiang Ming and Shen Yi was the founding king of Wu. Therefore, Shen Cangwu could only choose Wei Guo to support him.”

    He added to Jiang Wang, “Even if Your Majesty didn’t originally plan to kill him, and he didn’t hear the plan, he would still betray you after all.”

    “So…” Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and asked, “Shen Cangwu belongs to Shen Yi?”

    Gu Xunzhu: “Parent and son.”

    At this point, the truth is revealed.

    Jiang Wang used Shen Cangwu to abandon Qin Zhi because he wanted to save Qin Zhi’s life. According to his original plan, “celebrities” would be killed in front of the battle, even if they were “fake” celebrities.

    When things have come to this point, Jiang Wang’s plan has been completely disrupted, but as long as he kills Shen Cangwu, he can still tell the world that the Jiang Kingdom does not need celebrities, and it can still win the world if it is not influenced by Xuanhui Valley.

    This was one of the reasons why he didn’t want Qin Zhi to go to the battlefield.

    Gu Xunzhu’s role was mainly in improving weapons, and the soldiers of the Jiang Kingdom were still fighting, so it would not have much impact on the main cause of conquering the world.

    So now, Jiang Wang feels guilty that Qin Zhi’s physical condition is not as good as before, but he doesn’t regret that he abandoned Qin Zhi.

    “Qin Zhi.” Jiang Wang shouted.

    Qin Zhi: “Yes. Your Majesty, please tell me.”

    “Even so, Gu, I still won’t use you. I hope you don’t resist the order.”

    Jiang Wang probably knew Qin Zhi’s temper, and was worried that he would go against his will and end up saying harsh words again.

    Gu Xunzhu’s heart skipped a beat and he looked at Qin Zhi worriedly, fearing that he would break up with King Jiang on the spot and the quarrel would not end.

    After all, after he helped Jiang Guo win, he wanted to push the merits to Qin Zhi.

    But Qin Zhi is no longer the fool who says whatever he wants.

    Hearing this, he just nodded obediently, “Sinner, obey the order.”
