Yelu Zongwang fell down again.

However, compared to the comfort he felt a moment ago, he was now depressed and even felt a little desperate.

Chen Lang didn't rush Yelu Zongwang to give him an answer. Instead, he got out of the car, took Qu Huai'en to the side, and asked, "Commander Qu, what exactly is going on?"

Qu Huai'en said, "After Lord Li captured Yelu Zongwang, he began searching among the people for someone who looked like him."

"It took three years to finally find someone who looked almost identical to Yelu Zongwang. Then, over the years, we trained him and made him into the real Yelu Zongwang. Even this person himself completely regarded himself as Yelu Zongwang."

Chen Lang made a tactical retreat.

The Dayan version of The Substitute Prince.

It is not an exaggeration to say that we are looking for someone who is exactly like the target person.

It's like Thor and Xu Jinjiang, Guo Da and Statham. They have no blood relationship at all and have never even met each other, but they just look alike. If they add a little makeup, even their mothers would find it difficult to tell them apart.

But relying solely on a similar appearance can deceive people for a while, but not forever.

After a long time, the truth will be revealed.

Li Junhui spent twenty years to solve this problem.

He used extremely primitive means to create a "clone".

Now this cloned version of Yelu Zongwang has arrived in Shangjing and has been recognized by the Xi Palace, which occupies a very important position in the Liao Dynasty's power structure.

The Xi Palace is the descendant of the founding emperor of the Liao Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiao suppressed so many of the Yelu clan members, but she did not dare to take action against the Xi Palace, because attacking the Xi Palace would be equivalent to attacking the foundation of the entire Liao Dynasty.

Chen Lang asked, "Since there is such a replacement, why send Yelu Zongwang back?"

"Isn't this a waste of time?"

Qu Huai'en said: "The counterfeit is about to get out of control."

Chen Lang asked, "What do you mean?"

Qu Huai'en said, "Perhaps the brainwashing was too intense, causing this fake Yelu Zongwang to consider the revitalization of the Liao Kingdom as his own responsibility."

"He could replace Yelü Zongwang, but that wouldn't necessarily disrupt the entire Liao imperial family. Because in his view, a stable Liao imperial family was more important than anything else."

"Sending him back won't have the desired effect."

Chen Lang rubbed his temple and said, "Oh my god, Detroit Awakens?"

In his previous life, Chen Lang played a game called "Detroit: Become Human". The character in the game was very similar to this fake Yelu Zongwang.

They were originally supposed to serve humans, but after awakening their self-awareness, they were no longer willing to play the role of "tools", but began to seek their own power and build a social order for bionic people.

The fake Yelu Zongwang can be understood as a bionic man.

Li Junhui created him in order to have him replace Yelu Zongwang, disrupt the Liao royal family, and fundamentally turn the Liao into a vassal state of Dayan.

But Li Junhui underestimated the concept of "consciousness". In the process of brainwashing the fake Yelu Zongwang, another personality consciousness emerged in his body and completely wiped out the original consciousness.

To exaggerate a little, if such a rigorously trained "Yelü Zongwang" were to become the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, he might be able to make the Liao Dynasty even more powerful.

A powerful Liao Kingdom is something that Dayan does not want to see, let alone face, so it is particularly necessary to put it back.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Li Junhui, because human consciousness is still an unpredictable existence even in the modern society with advanced technology.

Qu Huai'en frowned: "What awakening?"

Chen Lang said: "It is something that should not have self-awareness, but it has self-awareness, thus escaping the control of its creator."

Qu Huai'en thought about it and said, "That's about what I mean."

Chen Lang asked, "So when you told me to kill Yelu Zongwang, were you just trying to scare him?"

Qu Huai'en nodded: "Yes, he can't be killed."

"I said that simply to provoke him."

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows: "That cavalry team just now, they weren't soldiers from Prince Xi's Palace, right?"

"Horse bandits." Qu Huai'en said, "They were hired."

"If I tell Yelu Zongwang directly, he definitely won't believe me, so I have to put on a show."

Chen Lang said, "I understand now. There's no need to force-feed Yelu Zongwang with knockout drugs on the way. He won't try to escape. He'll just be hoping we can get to Shangjing as soon as possible."

"But then again, will the fake Yelu Zongwang actually send someone to assassinate the real Yelu Zongwang?"

"After all, if we want a complete replacement, we have to eliminate all future troubles."

Qu Huai'en said, "Yes."

Chen Lang choked twice and said, "Commander Qu, you don't have to answer so directly."

"It's good to be a little more tactful."

Qu Huai'en put on a deadpan face and said, "Sir, I will just say what I have to say."

"In a few days, the news that Yelu Zongwang returned to Shangjing with the wedding procession will spread among the Liao royal family and nobles. By then, not only will the fake Yelu Zongwang send people to assassinate him, but Empress Dowager Xiao will also send people."

Chen Lang was stunned: "No...how did it spread?"

"Don't tell me, this is another arrangement by Third Uncle?"

Qu Huai'en nodded: "Yes, everything was arranged by Lord Li."

Chen Lang looked up at the sky, speechless and choking, and said, "Uncle San, Uncle San, what on earth do you want to do?"

……

That night.

When Chen Lang heard He Jinling say that Yelu Zongwang wanted to see him, he once again boarded the carriage where he was imprisoned.

Looking at the completely untouched food, Chen Lang asked, "Your Highness Prince Liang, is the food not to your liking?"

Yelu Zongwang looked up at Chen Lang and said, "Bring out that wine of yours. I want to taste it."

"When I drank it in the past, I always fell unconscious before I could even savor the taste."

Chen Lang said, "From today on, I will no longer give drugs to King Liang."

After saying that, he asked He Jinling to bring a bottle of the strongest Hongyanzui and drink it with Yelu Zongwang.

After two drinks, Yelu Zongwang burped and said, "I never thought that this old man Li Junhui would pull such a trick."

"It's hard for him to find someone who looks like me in the Great Yan Dynasty."

"I do intend to find an opportunity to escape along the way, gather my old subordinates, and make a comeback."

"But now, I must return to Shangjing."

"I can't stand by and watch a Yan person become the emperor of my Great Liao Kingdom."

"If this really happened, how could I have the face to go to the underworld and face the ancestors of my Great Liao Kingdom?"

Chen Lang said, "It's great that King Liang thinks this way. This way, we don't have to be on guard against each other on the road ahead. We can open our hearts a little and try to communicate sincerely."
