"Because of Li Cunzhong..." Li Cunren whispered.

"Li Cunzhong?" Meng Zhixiang looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with Li Cunzhong?"

Li Cunren glanced at Su Qingjue cautiously, then he paused for a moment and explained, "Li Cunzhong was ordered to come to Qi State to invite His Highness Li Xingyun to go to Tongwen Hall to have a talk with the Holy Lord."

"But not only did he fail to invite His Highness Li Xingyun, but he was also punished by the general for threatening the people of Qi State and was forced to kneel down and apologize. Not only did he bring disgrace to Tongwenguan, but he also caused my elder brother to be removed from the position of Saint Lord by King Jin."

"In order to save the reputation of the Tongwen Academy and to restore his position in the heart of the King of Jin, my eldest brother had no choice but to execute Li Cunzhong with his own hands."

"But Li Cunzhong was Big Brother's confidant after all. Although he did not die at the hands of the general, the reason for his death was still because of the general."

"My elder brother has been resentful of the general ever since..."

Having said this, Li Cunren deliberately paused.

She slumped on the ground, her face pale, her eyes dull, and she looked pitiful.

However, if a stunning beauty does this, it is still pleasing to the eye.

But Li Cunren, with his face full of scars, does not arouse sympathy for him.

While Meng Zhixiang was listening, his eyes were fixed on Li Cunren.

He did not see any panic in Li Cunren's eyes, but only frankness and sincerity.

This also made him believe more that Li Siyuan's intention to murder him was true.

Li Cunren raised his eyes and looked at Su Qingjue.

She was not sure how much Su Qingjue knew.

It's a lie after all.

Although she only changed the key figure from Prince of Jin to Li Siyuan, the other information was true.

But under Su Qingjue's gaze, she still felt uneasy.

Seeing that Su Qingjue did not question what she said, Li Cunren felt relieved.

She continued, "The general sent envoys to various countries to deliver letters. After my eldest brother learned the contents of the letters, he sent us to Qi State to assassinate the princes who attended the meeting."

"You want to use this to make Qiguo bear the crime of assassinating the kings. In this way..."

Li Cunren could not stop here. She knew very well that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make. Even if she did not say anything later, the King of Shu would be able to analyze the problem with the previous information.

Just as Li Cunren thought, Meng Zhixiang stood there in thought for a long time and soon understood.

All the clues can be connected.

Meng Zhixiang had heard about this from his subordinates before.

Some time ago, Li Cunzhong caused a great disaster in Qi State. In order to save his life, he went door to door, kneeling down and begging for mercy.

This incident caused a lot of uproar, and people in the martial arts world said that the Tongwenguan was a group of people who were afraid of death, and some people even insulted King Jin for it.

I never thought that Li Siyuan would be so bold as to order the assassination of various princes in order to avenge Qi State...

Isn't he afraid that the truth will be revealed and he will end up having no place in the world? !

But think about it carefully.

These people are very powerful and can easily escape once they succeed. No one knows where they come from.

If they were allowed to succeed, Qi State would then have to face the wrath of all the princes in the world.

By then, no matter how strong Su Qingjue is, he will not be able to change the fate of Qi Kingdom’s demise...

"Humph!"

Meng Zhixiang snorted coldly and said, "Your Holy Lord didn't expect that I would be the only one to attend the meeting among all the princes in the world."

"It seems that your Holy Lord is also a man of little strategy and wisdom!"

Li Cunren lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"What the King of Shu said is wrong." Su Qingjue suddenly said.

In order to gain the support of Shu, he had to cooperate with Li Cunren to make her lies as perfect as possible.

"Oh?" Meng Zhixiang was puzzled, but then he immediately reacted, "You mean..."

"That's right. Regardless of whether this plan succeeds or fails, it is acceptable to Li Siyuan."

"If none of the princes of various countries come to the meeting, then my Qi country will have to go to war with Daliang alone, and then he can sit back and reap the benefits."

"If any of the princes of various countries come to the meeting, then as long as..."

Hearing this, Meng Zhixiang glanced at Li Cunren and others and couldn't help but take a breath.

hiss--

What a vicious plan!

I didn't expect Li Siyuan to be so vicious.

Fortunately, the general arrived in time, otherwise, with the strength of these people, he might have died long ago.

By then, Shu would be in chaos, and his beloved concubine and family might also be in danger...

Meng Zhixiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his resentment towards Li Siyuan became even stronger.

Similarly, gratitude towards Su Qingjue also increased.

but......

Meng Zhixiang was confused.

Why was Su Qingjue able to arrive in time and rescue him when he was in trouble?

It was as if everything had been arranged in advance.

Is there some other hidden secret?

Meng Zhixiang was a little hesitant, but she did not doubt Su Qingjue because of her doubts.

The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven!!!

Li Cunren was sent by the State of Jin. It was impossible that he had agreed with Su Qingjue to deceive him.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhixiang came to Su Qingjue and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, General, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. I am willing to help you to attack Liang together!"

"Not only that, to express my gratitude to the general, I am willing to lobby for you a few princes who are on good terms with me, and try my best to help you win more support!"

"King Shu is so kind, I am deeply grateful."

Su Qingjue was naturally very happy that the target was exceeded.

But he still noticed the puzzled look in Meng Zhixiang's eyes just now.

In order to avoid creating resentment among the allies in the attack on Liang.

Su Qingjue still took the initiative to give an explanation.

"The King of Shu must be wondering why I suddenly appeared..."

Hearing this, Meng Zhixiang smiled awkwardly, "I knew nothing could be hidden from the general's sharp eyes!"

Su Qingjue smiled and said, "The letters I sent to various countries were delivered to Zhu Wen by some princes who were eager to distance themselves from him."

"Zhu Wen felt threatened, so he would not allow me to form the alliance to attack Liang. I was worried that he would harm you, so I secretly escorted you for a while..."

"So that's it." Meng Zhixiang suddenly realized, and felt even more grateful to Su Qingjue.

As he spoke, he glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "How does the general plan to deal with them?"

Su Qingjue pondered for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"King Shu may not know that I received a gift from Tongwenguan yesterday..."

"That gift left a very deep impression on me."

"Oh?" Meng Zhixiang asked doubtfully, "What gift?"

"Li Cunzhong's head..."
