MTL - Fairy, Please Let Me Explain-Chapter 238 who did it

  Chapter 238 Who did it?

  The cold wind howled.

  Facing Li Zhaoyuan's gaze, Xu Yuan said in a deep voice:

   "Second Highness, we did not do this."

  Li Zhaoyuan frowned, revealing some thoughts:

   "You guys didn't do this?"

   As he spoke, a "I understand" smile appeared on the corner of his lips:

   "The Xiangguo Mansion is for the country and the people, so naturally it would not do such a thing of self-destruction of the city wall. It should be done by some rebellious officials and thieves."

  No matter what the purpose is, if you don't tear your face, blowing up the ordnance before the battle is a **** pot, and whoever bears it will die.

  If the Xiangguo Mansion recites it, it will have to pay the price.

   Therefore, there is a high probability that this matter will be made into a headless case.

  “.”

  Xu Yuan looked at Li Zhaoyuan's half-smile expression, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

   It's broken, it seems like it's about to become a blame man.

  The Zongmen warehouse was bombed, whoever is the first beneficiary, then whoever is the most suspected is the most simple truth.

  Now there are two biggest beneficiaries, the barbarians and the Yan Dynasty.

   A pathological win-win situation, winning the northern sect twice.

   And between the two, can the barbarians place spies into Beifeng City?

  The answer is no.

  The races are different, and the barbarians covered in black spikes have to be beaten into a sieve before they get close to ten miles.

   In other words, the only people behind this matter are the Dayan court, that is, the royal family and Xiangguo Mansion.

   Li Zhaoyuan knew that he didn't do anything here, so you are the only Xiangguo mansion left.

   And here comes the crux of the problem,

  As the actual person in charge of the Xiangguo Mansion in the northern border, Xu Yuan now **** wants to know who did this?

  Indeed, he really wanted to blow it up, and even made arrangements to implement it, but the time for the Black Scale Guards to do it was not tonight at all, and it was not on such a large scale as tonight.

   Silence for a moment,

  Xu Yuan turned his eyes to look at the gradually controlled fire in the distance, and repeated again:

   "Second Highness, we really didn't do this."

  “.”

  Li Zhaoyuan smiled without saying a word.

  Xu Yuan took a deep breath, then smiled, and said in a low voice:

   "It seems that His Royal Highness does not believe my words."

   While talking, Xu Yuan took out a dossier from Xumijie and handed it to Li Zhaoyuan:

   "In this case, Your Highness, you might as well take a look at this file. It was given to me by Lou Ji before she left the city."

  He needs to explain this matter clearly.

   Only by explaining clearly can Li Zhaoyuan and Li Qingyan realize that there are third-party forces obstructing the city.

  Li Zhaoyuan frowned, and while reaching out to take it, he said with great interest:

   "President Lou is really a clever plan to secure the world. Even if he leaves the city, he can leave so many tricks in his pocket for the third son."

   This laughing joke is obviously suspicious of something.

  But Xu Yuan didn't care about it.

   Being a dandy doesn't mean you have no brains. It would be strange if you grew up in a place like Xiangguo Mansion where there are no white people.

  And now that he is able to cultivate, he has indeed reached the age to take over the family affairs.

   In this regard, the aristocratic families all over the world are basically a template.

  The third prince Li Yunqing was able to confirm his identity because of a series of coincidental oolongs before.

   Therefore, Xu Yuan replied indifferently:

   "Of course I need to know some things before I dare to stay in Beifeng City."

  Li Zhaoyuan smiled, did not speak again, and looked down at the file in his hand.

  The wind and snow on the top of the attic was still there, and there was silence for a while, and the fire in the distance was brought under control while the two were talking over a cup of tea.

   And as you browse,

  Li Zhaoyuan frowned a little bit.

  Xu Yuan said softly at this moment:

   "Second Highness, although the sect is bad, it is not stupid. Before the soldiers move, food and grass go first. We understand this kind of thing, and they naturally understand."

  Li Zhaoyuan moved his gaze up from the file, and looked at Xu Yuan with a dignified gaze:

   "So, it's really not you guys tonight?"

  The dossier is a plan that Xu Yuan submitted to Lou Ji before.

  Code name Long Night, the plan to blow up the Zongmen's inventory.

  The reason for formulating the plan is almost the same as what Li Zhaoyuan said earlier, but it has not been implemented yet, because the sect's defenses are very strict, and they don't have enough time to prepare.

  Xu Yuan's long and narrow eyes were full of helplessness:

   "Second Highness, Zongmen's warehouses have always been their key places to guard against. It is completely difficult to detect the inventory and destroy it by hand. The Black Scale Guard is not a wishing machine. Make a wish, and it will directly cash it out for you.

  “We need time, it takes time to make a decision, it takes time to distribute it to the grassroots, and it takes time for preparation and execution.”

  Speaking of this, Xu Yuan spread his hands:

   "There are factions within the sect in the northern border. There are seven large warehouses and 13 small warehouses. Even if we want to do this, our Xiangguo Mansion is too late."

   Li Zhaoyuan frowned even tighter, as if he had realized the cause and effect.

  It has only been seven or eight hours since the barbarians appeared in the south of Beifeng City. It is almost impossible for even the Black Scale Guards to cause such large-scale damage in such a short period of time.

   "The third son, who do you think did this?"

  “.”

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard this question: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

   Say it,

  Xu Yuan was about to turn around and jump off the top of the attic to leave.

  Seeing this, Li Zhaoyuan asked aloud:

   "Third Young Master, where are you going?"

  Xu Yuan paused, looked back, and said as a matter of course:

   "I'm sleepy, go back to my room and sleep."

  Li Zhaoyuan was slightly taken aback:

   "With such a situation, can the third son be able to sleep?"

  Xu Yuan pouted at Li Zhaoyuan and grinned:

   "Of course I can sleep, the sky will fall and there will be a tall man to hold it up, so these things should be left to the Second Highness, you, who are talented in governing the country."

   After finishing speaking, he jumped and disappeared into the night.

   Zhou Chen on the side saluted and then left.

   Watching the two disappear,

  Li Zhaoyuan glanced down at the dossier in his hand, and was about to put it away quietly, but unexpectedly, the dossier ignited spontaneously.

  Seeing this scene, Li Zhaoyuan exhaled, scattered the ashes and disappeared in place

  A few maneuvers landed from a high altitude,

  Because of the wind and cold, Xu Yuan ran the Blood Origin Heart Falling Art a few times, and wrapped his jacket a lot tighter before he felt much warmer.

  From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Chen, a middle-aged man with a beard, following up.

   Seeing this, Xu Yuan paused and asked:

   "Mr. Zhou, why are you following me if you don't go down to rest?"

  Zhou Chen laughed when he heard the words:

   "Third Young Master, I'm afraid it will be chaotic tonight. Mr. Zhou will guard the door for you and protect you."

  Xu Yuan was speechless, but he nodded without refusing.

  Walking on the way back to the hospital,

  Zhou Chen suddenly asked mysteriously:

   "Third Young Master, who do you think did what happened tonight?"

  Xu Yuan replied without thinking:

   "It should be those sects."

   "Zongmen? Those in the north and south?" Zhou Chen touched his chin.

  Xu Yuan glanced at the south, chuckled and said:

   "It wasn't the royal family, it wasn't us, it couldn't have been bombed by the northern sect itself, right?"

  Zhou Chen showed a sudden surprise, showed a trace of respect, and cupped his hands respectfully:

   "Third Young Master can see clearly."

  “.”

  Xu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand:

"Okay, it's impossible to plan such a large-scale sabotage operation overnight. According to the efficiency of our Black Scale Guards, to carry out such a large-scale sabotage task without leaving any traces, the planning time is at least The unit is based on the month. And based on the situation a few months ago, if the Beifeng warehouse is destroyed, the imperial court can only be forced to retreat, which is what those sects are happy to see."

  Zhou Chen hesitated when he heard the words, and said:

   "Months as a unit? Your current plan."

  Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter whether the Beifeng City retains a handle or not. If this war can be won, it can be explained by the power of urgency. If it can't be won, everything doesn't matter, because the northern sect will no longer exist. .”

  With 300,000 elites buried in the snow field, the northern sect basically became an empty shell.

  Dead people cannot ask for an explanation.

  Zhou Chen grinned, bowed his hands again, and said solemnly:

   "I didn't know it at first sight, but the third son is really a great talent."

   "." Xu Yuan.

   After a pause, Zhou Chen suddenly said:

   "Third son, there is a sentence that Mr. Zhou doesn't know whether to say or not."

  Xu Yuan glanced at him:

   "Speak when it's time to speak, and don't speak when it's not appropriate."

   Coughing lightly, Zhou Chen still tentatively said:

   "Young Master, with the current situation, if those sects in the south really did it, it should destroy us and the royal family's storage together."

  Xu Yuan chuckled and said:

   "Just destroying the warehouses of the northern sects can put this hat on us. If they destroy all of them, then they are the ones who made the target."

  Zhou Chen was quiet for a moment, and asked:

   "Target, useful?"

  Xu Yuan smiled and said:

   "Nature is useful"

   Before the words fell, Xu Yuan's voice stopped abruptly.

  The incident happened suddenly, and he hadn't thought about it yet.

  Are targets useful?

   Of course it works.

  Because of the privilege of not paying taxes, sects in the world have formed an intricate whole of interests.

  Now, for the benefit of the majority of people, the interests of the whole have directly sold the northern sect. The imperial court has a lot of room to maneuver in this, and at least it can alienate them.

  But after thinking about it now, Xu Yuan suddenly found that it seemed impossible to separate them.

   In other words, the effect of separation is not great.

  The Yan court wants to collect immortal tax, but the sect is unwilling to pay it. This is the lowest level and the most direct contradiction.

   Can’t solve this problem, even if the northern sect is cheated, they will only get revenge elsewhere instead of cooperating with the imperial court.

   Empathy,

   Judging from the Zongmen’s intelligence, if all the warehouses in Beifeng City were blown up, coupled with the current blizzard and natural disaster, Beifeng City would definitely be lost, and the 700,000 elite would also be destroyed.

   Next, the three continents in the northern border will face the barbarian soldiers head-on, and the elite of the sect will be powerless to resist. If you, Xu Yinhe and Li Yaoxuan, have all the means, you have to deal with the barbarians first.

  Due to Li Yaoxuan's death, the situation will inevitably change dramatically.

  Will the next emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty have the same attitude as Li Yaoxuan?

  The sects of the world will not threaten the status of the Li family's surname, but the Xu Gonghui in Xiangguo's mansion.

  Thinking so far,

  Xu Yuan's blood-flame-filled Danfeng's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.

  Why did these people not attack my imperial warehouse?

  Is it because. Can't install spies?

   The answer seems to be only this one.

  The changes tonight made Xu Yuan's judgment on the situation blurred.

  In the silence, the wind and snow were swaying, the roar of the Nancheng sky was still there, and the Mingwen lamps were still emitting misty light on both sides of the stone road.

   After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Xu Yuan suddenly glanced at the meeting hall.

  Seeing this, Zhou Chen asked via voice transmission:

   "What did the third son think of?"

  Xu Yuan frowned and meditated for a few breaths before uttering a name.

   Li Zhaoyuan.

  Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard the second prince's name:

   "Sir, what do you mean"

  Xu Yuan exhaled, but his tone was a little uncertain:

   "This thing, maybe the second prince did it."

  Zhou Chen's tone was puzzled:

   "Second Prince? The Second Highness should not have such energy in his hands."

  Xu Yuan continued to step forward, glanced at Zhou Chen, and said via voice transmission:

   "It's true that he doesn't have one, but didn't I just say that the southern sect does have it."

  Zhou Chen hissed, and asked cautiously through sound transmission:

   "Third Young Master, do you mean that His Royal Highness Second Highness had an affair with the sect? Why?"

   "In order to seize the heir."

  Xu Yuan sighed, and looked in the direction of the imperial capital: "Mr. Zhou, do you know how big the gap is between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince?"

   "Cough, third son, this matter Zhou."

  Zhou Chen coughed lightly, his idle personality made him subconsciously want to avoid this topic.

   This thing is too dangerous.

  He may die at any time without a burial if he is a third-rank grand master.

   But halfway through the speech, he stopped, gritted his teeth, and changed the topic:

   ". Zhou really doesn't know, but it is said in the world that the second prince's temperament is similar to that of the Holy One. The Holy One thinks that the current situation of the prince may change, right?"

  Based on his current cultivation resources, he may only stop at the third rank in this life.

   Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, this is an opportunity to become the third son's confidant.

   Seeing that Zhou Chen did not refuse, Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said:

   "The gap between him and the prince has almost reached the point where the Holy One can't control it."

   "The Holy One can't control?" Zhou Chen licked his lips.

  Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"The Holy Majesty has delegated too much power to the prince. The prince has been established as the crown prince for nearly 30 years. After so many years, it is impossible for these princelings to switch to the second prince. The second prime minister, the commander of the imperial army, and the royal chamber of commerce are all important officials in the court. , unless the current sage is cruel and directly kills the prince."

  The companionship of nearly thirty years has already belonged to the strong bond of life and death.

  Even if Li Yaoxuan seems to support Li Zhaoyuan now, the people under the crown prince will never agree.

  Once Li Zhaoyuan takes the throne, these positions will inevitably be gradually replaced by his cronies, in other words, they will be liquidated.

  So, Li Yaoxuan has no time to support Li Zhaoyuan now.

   Paused for a moment, Xu Yuan laughed in a low voice:

   "Of course, if Li Zhaoyuan is willing to cooperate with our Xiangguofu, it is still possible, but if he chooses this way, he will become a puppet with no foundation, and our Xiangguofu will gradually integrate the royal power."

   "Mr. Zhou, do you think someone like Li Zhaoyuan would be willing to become a puppet emperor?"

  “.”

   Silence.

  After a while, Zhou Chen suddenly whispered:

   "So, if the second prince wants to ascend the throne, he can only seek the support of the sect?"
