Chapter 52 The Prince of the Marquisate who died in the battle is back 45

"It's possible, but he may not be the King of Yue's man. He could be the King of Yue's biological mother or his maternal family.

The reason why my brother gave him the fiefdom of Southern Xinjiang is because his biological mother, Concubine Li, is the Saint of Southern Xinjiang. It might be difficult for others to manage the land there, but he will definitely be able to manage it with the help of his family."

Xiao Yun felt that this thread suddenly became coherent. If Nanjiang had originally had a rebellious heart, or was making arrangements for the King of Yue to reach the summit, this would make sense.

Concubine Li was the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, so could the other four missing princes have been caused by her? After all, it is difficult to detect the poisonous insects.

That's what she thought and said.

Qi Yun shook his head and said: "No, my royal brother, we in the royal family have also learned some of this. My secret guards are controlled by poisonous insects.

Moreover, the royal family has specially enshrined several masters who are proficient in Gu techniques, just to prevent people from using Gu techniques to cause chaos. If the other party had used Gu, my brother would not have been unaware of it. "

Xiao Yun nodded. Yes, since he dared to marry her, he must have been well prepared. She also remembered what No. 11 had told her before, that the sudden death of Qi Yun’s secret guards was due to the poisonous insects. In this case, all the unreasonable parts were connected.

But a new question came up, "If that's the case, then what about the confidant of King Ximing that you met in Yuncheng before? What is there in Yuncheng that attracts people from all forces to go there?"

Qi Yun slapped his thigh upon hearing this and said, "Yes, Yuncheng! That place is where the three kingdoms meet. The southern part of Xinjiang originally belonged to the Southern Yu Kingdom, and was included in the Zhongyun Kingdom when the previous dynasty expanded its territory.

Maybe it wasn't just Nanjiang that wanted to cause a change, but the Nanyu Kingdom also sent people to contact the King of Yue, and it's possible that they made some promises, such as helping him seize the throne.

Moreover, the Nanyu Kingdom had allied with Ximing three years ago, otherwise the old Pingxi Marquis would not have died in the battle.

Although the situation has been temporarily stabilized now, that is also because the emperor of Nanyu suddenly passed away and several princes are fighting for the throne.

Once the new emperor ascends the throne and settles down, they may make a comeback, and these may be the nails left by the other party in Zhongyun.

Of course, it is possible that the Nanyu people in Southern Xinjiang have reached an agreement with Nanyu to cooperate with them, after all, that was their former homeland. "

Xiao Yun nodded and agreed with his point of view.

"Indeed, you must report this to the Emperor so that he can be prepared."

"I know, and that also explains why they would snatch my token. Although my father gave the Dark Guard Battalion to me and the emperor respectively, the Dark Guard Battalion is different from ordinary troops. It only recognizes tokens and not people. In other words, they will obey whoever has the token.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, it must be a member of the royal family. If someone else takes it, it will be completely useless and they will be killed by the Dark Guard Camp because they have poisonous insects controlling their bodies, and only people in the royal family know how to control those poisonous insects.

So when the other party said it was the Prince of Qi, although I had some doubts, I still went to investigate, because the Prince of Qi was the eldest son of the emperor's brother and was indeed capable. If it weren't for the opposition of the ministers and their insistence on supporting the establishment of the crown prince, and the fact that the queen's family was indeed powerful, otherwise they would not have been defeated.

So it is possible that he is unwilling to give in, which is human nature, and it is indeed useful for him to get the token.

The reason why no one has ever thought about the King of Yue is because the King of Yue is the least likely to inherit the throne. Firstly, he has an older brother, so it is not his turn, and he is not capable enough. The most important thing is that he has the bloodline of Nanyu.

Although Southern Xinjiang belonged to Zhongyun Kingdom, it was a foreign ethnic group after all, and for this reason he was excluded from the line of succession to the throne.

But even so, he is still a member of the royal family and is proficient in Gu magic, so he can still use the token."

Xiao Yun was speechless. It seemed that this Dark Guard Camp was completely controlled by poisonous insects. It was almost the same as a killer organization. There was no emotion at all, and there was no such thing as loyalty. They only recognized the token and not the person. As long as they had the token and were a member of the royal family, they would be fine.

This actually has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can obey orders and will not be easily transferred by others, but the disadvantage is that once the token is lost, it will be a troublesome thing.

"The token has not been delivered to the King of Yue, has it? Several days have passed. If we hurry, even if it has not been delivered to the King of Yue, it should be on the way."

Qi Yun shook his head: "No, I asked about it before, because I didn't expect that I didn't have the deadly poison and was cured. They didn't have time to send the token out or contact the person who was supposed to pick them up before I caught them. The token has been recovered. They were hiding in the gap behind a cabinet in the meditation room of Huiling Temple at that time."

Xiao Yun: "That's not bad. It would be disgusting if your own secret guards were ordered to turn against you."

Qi Yun thought about it and it made sense. It was indeed disgusting that they were obviously his men, but they obeyed the orders of others and turned against him with swords.

Xiao Yun thought of something and asked, "I've always wanted to ask you, what did you do at the back of Huiling Temple that day?"

Qi Yun lowered his eyes and said, "My mother's tomb is right there. That day was my mother's memorial day. I go there every year at this time to pay homage to her."

Xiao Yun frowned in confusion, "Shouldn't your mother be buried in the concubine's mausoleum?"

Qi Yun sighed, "My father didn't want to be separated from my mother. He originally wanted to bury us together. He wanted to temporarily enshrine my mother's coffin in Huiling Temple, saying that it could also receive some incense and worship, and then bury us together after my father passed away.

But after the death of his father, the late empress, his brother's mother, disagreed, saying that it went against ancestral rules. His brother also couldn't disobey, so he wanted to compromise and place the coffin in a side chamber of the imperial mausoleum closest to the main chamber. This would be considered as complying with his father's will. But the late empress had already died, so he had to let the matter go.

In fact, I think that compared to the tombs of many concubines, my mother should prefer the quiet hill behind Huiling Temple, so I buried her there directly. "

Seeing that he was feeling a little down, Xiao Yun quickly changed the subject and said, "With these clues we have figured out, I think we should be able to find out the mastermind behind your murder very soon."

Qi Yun took a deep breath, curled his lips, and said seriously: "Yes, I will go to the palace to report to the emperor tomorrow morning. When the matter is settled, I will welcome you in with a sedan chair carried by eight people."

Being stared at by him, his eyes were like little hooks, Xiao Yun felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

She cleared her throat and said, "It's getting late. You have to go to the palace tomorrow morning. You've been running back and forth all day. Go back and rest. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

He opened his mouth to chase him away, and seeing the grievance in his eyes, he couldn't help but add one more sentence.
