Chen Qingzhou quickly turned his head to look, and saw Li Jiuzhan, who was looking furious. He clenched his fists and his eyes were about to spit fire. It was obvious that he was still resentful of Chen Qingzhou for severely injuring him with a heavenly fire that day.

Chen Qingzhou was already in a bad mood. When he saw him, he thought to himself, "I was fighting alone that day. Today, with so many brothers here, am I still afraid of you?"

He glanced at Li Jiuzhan and said without showing any weakness, "How dare you bark like a defeated general?"

Although Li Jiuzhan didn't understand, he was still furious and was about to draw his knife to chop someone!

"do not move!"

Chen Qingzhou pointed at Li Jiuzhan and warned, "Today is your clan leader's big day, do you want to see blood? If he gets mad later, I can just walk away, can you?"

Li Jiuzhan was startled and had to retract his power. He was so angry that his bones were crackling. He said viciously: "Just wait, kid. I'll make you pay tomorrow!"

Chen Qingzhou was not afraid of him, "We'll talk about it if you can live till tomorrow!"

After that, he said to Li Changsheng: "I'm going back first. There are people chattering here. It's too noisy!"

Li Changsheng sighed and shook his head, "You can't say less."

"Row!"

Chen Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "I'll give you face. I'm leaving now!" Only Li Jiuzhan, who was still angry, was left behind.

When Chen Qingzhou returned to his table, Xuanyuan Changqing and others had also taken their seats. They sat around and had a simple meal together.

Chen Qingzhou quickly ate a few mouthfuls of braised beef and took a big gulp of liquor to make himself comfortable. He then asked Xuanyuan Changqing, "Brother, you have traveled a lot and seen a lot. Have you ever seen a wedding like this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table looked at Xuanyuan Changqing, especially Yan Yuyao, who was staring at him intently.

Xuanyuan Changqing shook his head and said, "I have never seen it. Due to the situation, it is inconvenient to say more. It's just... I'm sorry for Qianyu."

Chen Qingzhou asked again: "Then... meeting someone through a veil? It's so mysterious, do all big guys act like this?"

Xuanyuan Changqing was about to speak when a man came up from behind him. He was tall and mighty, with a stern face. It was the General of the Disha Army.

Li Hao approached the crowd and whispered, "Have you finished your meal?"

When everyone heard what he said, they knew that he had something important to say, so they all packed up their things and quietly left.

Arriving at the side hall, Li Hao confirmed that there were no outsiders around, and said straight to the point: "Everyone, today's incident is very strange."

Xuanyuan Changqing asked: "General, please explain clearly."

Li Hao nodded. "After I came back today, I wanted to see my foster father several times, but was blocked by Qiao Wenruo and other elders for various reasons. At the wedding just now, although my foster father showed up in the Phoenix Pavilion, he was behind a gauze curtain. This has never happened before. I know my foster father best. He is a high-profile person. On such an important day as the wedding and the unification of the Nine Li, how could he not show up and give a good speech and let Qiao Wenruo speak for him?"

Chen Qingzhou guessed, "You mean, the person behind the gauze curtain is not Li Shixiao?"

Li Hao pondered and said, "I'm not sure about this. Judging from his figure and voice, it is indeed my godfather, but there is something weird about the whole thing. I always feel uneasy."

Chen Qingzhou asked again: "Could it be that the clan leader is controlled by that Qiao? I have seen his abilities, they are very powerful."

Li Hao shook his head and said, "Qiao Wenruo has some cunning tricks, but he is still far inferior to my godfather. Besides, everything was normal when I left a few days ago."

Xuanyuan Changqing asked: "Could it be that Qiao Wenruo has some powerful helpers who have not yet appeared?"

Li Hao recalled for a moment, "Qiao Wenruo came to the God of War Mountain ten years ago. At that time, he said that he was a scholar from the north. He encountered robbers on the road and accidentally ended up near the Nucang River, where he was almost drowned. Later, he met a member of our tribe and was brought back. My adoptive father saw that he was quite knowledgeable, so he kept him by his side. He was calm, experienced, and capable, and gradually he became the chief steward."

"Do you believe this reason?"

Facing Li Hao's surprised look, Chen Qingzhou continued, "Is the area near the Nucang River a place for sightseeing? Not to mention the natural moat and the monsters, you Jiuli tribes are fighting and killing each other all day long. Even if a wild beast comes, how can this so-called scholar survive?"

Li Hao was silent. Indeed, now it seems that these are extremely suspicious, but why has no one pointed it out for so many years?

Is it...

Seeing that he didn't speak but frowned in thought, Chen Qingzhou said anxiously: "What's wrong? Why don't you say something!"

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "I really hope I'm overthinking..."

Everyone was extremely anxious, but they didn't understand Disha's situation, so they could only wait for Li Hao to speak.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Li Hao thought to himself, "Most of them are not from the Jiuli tribe. If I guess wrong, then I am just imagining things. But if I guess right, I am afraid that Jiuli will have no future."

At that moment, he made up his mind, "I can tell you, but this is just my guess. If you have any clues, please let me know."

Chen Qingzhou rolled his eyes and said, "What time is it? Come on, tell me!"

Li Hao said, "I just thought of this when I was talking about Qiao Wenruo's background. Why has no one ever exposed his suspicious identity and reason? Qiao Wenruo has been staying by his adoptive father's side since he arrived at the God of War Mountain. It can be said that everything about him is under the protection of his adoptive father, so others dare not and have no need to delve into his background."

Chen Qingzhou nodded slowly, "You mean, ten years ago, Qiao Wenruo was Li Shixiao's man?"

Li Hao did not comment. "It is also possible that someone behind the scenes has planted someone beside my foster father. Now that I think about it, my foster father has indeed changed a lot since Qiao Wenruo came. In the past, he went on expeditions to the east and west and provoked countless wars. Among the sixty or seventy Jiuli tribes that have been destroyed, at least more than forty were conquered by us. But in the past ten years, he has often stayed in seclusion and kept a low profile. He basically left the internal affairs to Qiao Wenruo, and handed the military affairs to me."

Uncle Agu listened for a long time and recalled the past, "This is indeed unlike the Li Shixiao I know. He has always been a bloodthirsty and murderous person. Could it be that he has grown older and learned to restrain himself and accumulate virtue?"

Li Hao shook his head. "My foster father is indeed quite old, but no matter what, the Nine Lis have finally been unified, but I don't sense any joy from him at all."

Xuanyuan Changqing said: "It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. A person's temperament and personality will not change easily, unless they encounter some serious problems and have to change deliberately."

Li Hao nodded and said, "Yes, this serious problem is exactly what I am worried about. If Qiao Wen is my adoptive father's man, then it is not a big deal. But if he is planted by someone else, Jiuli will be in danger!"
