"Holy Lord!"

"King Jin wants you to come over!"

The disciple from Tongwenguan who was in charge of the communication came to the door of Li Siyuan's room and spoke respectfully.

Although Li Siyuan was deprived of his status as the Holy Master of Tongwenguan by Li Keyong.

But before that, when the disciples of Tongwenguan met Li Siyuan in private, they still habitually called him the Holy Lord.

Li Siyuan's thoughts were interrupted. He spoke through the door and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why the King of Jin called me?"

The disciples of Tongwenguan outside the door recalled the bloody scene just now and did not dare to say anything more.

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, I am also unaware of the situation. I only know that the King of Jin asked you to go see him quickly!"

Li Siyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was silent for a moment and then said, "Please send the message. I'll be there right away!"

"Subordinates resign!"

inside the room.

Li Siyuan frowned.

He had just received Zhang Zifan's letter when Li Keyong wanted to see him.

Think about it carefully.

There must be a connection between the two.

If what Faner said in the letter is true, then...the people from the Shang organization should have returned.

And after knowing that the assassination attempt has failed, the old man Li Keyong will definitely take action.

"I wonder how my adoptive father plans to deal with this matter......?" Li Siyuan murmured to himself.

He picked up the folding fan from the table, pushed the door open, and walked towards the yard where Li Keyong usually went fishing.

soon.

Li Siyuan came to the gate of the yard.

As soon as he reached the door, he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

This made Li Siyuan extremely alert.

He paused outside the door for a moment, then took a deep breath, prepared a respectful gesture in advance, and walked into the yard.

However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard.

Li Siyuan's pupils constricted and his steps paused slightly.

He arrived at the land that had been stained red with blood.

In addition, there were a lot of disgusting blood and flesh residues, as well as a large number of tattered pieces of clothing.

Although he was mentally prepared when he smelled blood outside the door.

But when he saw such a scene, he was still quite shocked.

What on earth just happened here?

besides......

Although Li Keyong had his back to him at the moment, Li Siyuan could vaguely see that Li Keyong's sleeves were stained with a large amount of dark red blood.

Without any hesitation, Li Siyuan quickly approached and said loudly:

"My child meets his adoptive father!"

"Ah."

Li Keyong sat in a wheelchair with his back to Li Siyuan, and his majestic voice revealed anger.

"Boss, do you know where the flesh and blood under your feet comes from?" Li Keyong said in a deep voice.

Li Siyuan's eyes moved. Although he already had a guess in his mind, sometimes pretending to be stupid would only do him good.

"I don't know, please tell me, father!"

"It belongs to Old Thirteen."

"What!?"

Li Siyuan opened his eyes wide and exclaimed.

He pretended to be extremely surprised, and then a hint of sadness naturally appeared on his face.

"Godfather, Old Thirteen..."

Li Keyong did not give Li Siyuan much time to react.

He continued, "She made a mistake and was executed by me personally!"

"Godfather..."

"Boss, do you admit your guilt?"

Before Li Siyuan could say anything, Li Keyong asked in a stern voice.

Li Siyuan sneered in his heart.

How could he not understand Li Keyong's thoughts?

They just wanted him to be charged with attempting to murder the princes of various countries.

But Li Siyuan is not the kind of person who can be bullied by others.

"Reporting to my foster father, I don't know what crime I have committed."

Li Siyuan had an innocent expression on his face.

"Since I stepped down from the position of Holy Master of Tongwen Hall, I have been confined to the hall to reflect on myself. I have never gone out, nor have I contacted anyone."

"Oh?" Li Keyong slowly turned his wheelchair and looked directly at Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan did not make eye contact with Li Keyong. He lowered his eyes and avoided their gaze, seeming to be extremely afraid of the person in front of him.

Li Keyong stared at Li Siyuan with eagle-like eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "You have never contacted anyone else?"

"But why did I receive the news that you sent Li Cunren and the people of the 'Shang' organization to assassinate the princes who were attending the meeting in Qi State?"

"Old Thirteen has already confessed, but you still refuse to admit it. Do you think that I am old and want to deceive me?"

Hearing this, Li Siyuan cried out in shock, looking as if the sky had fallen.

He knelt on the ground trembling, completely ignoring the blood beneath him.

"Foster father, I am innocent!"

"You know, I don't have a good relationship with Old Thirteen, and I stepped down from the position of Holy Lord not long ago. How can I have the ability to order Old Thirteen..."

"enough!"

Li Keyong interrupted in a deep voice.

"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good!"

"If you did it, then you did it. Why don't you dare admit it?"

Li Siyuan wanted to curse in his heart.

"Old guy, you're going too far!"

"I didn't do it at all. How can I admit it?!"

"It's just that I'm not strong enough, otherwise I would have taken off your head and used it as a chamber pot!!!"

now.

Li Siyuan's heart was filled with rage, but he appeared calm on the surface, without a trace of dissatisfaction.

He lowered his head and said, "Godfather, I really didn't do this. It must be someone else who slandered me. I hope you will believe me."

Li Keyong naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Siyuan.

But whether it is related or not is not something Li Siyuan can decide.

If all the princes in the world thought that it was Li Siyuan who did it.

Even if he doesn't admit it.

But the problem is, how can we make all the princes in the world believe that Li Siyuan is behind this......

Li Keyong pondered for a moment, then said:

"Father will trust you for once."

"Thank you, foster father!"

Li Keyong took a long breath and said, "Boss, how does your father treat you?"

Li Siyuan was very sincere. "My foster father taught me martial arts and let me serve as the master of Tongwenguan. His kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I have no way to repay him."

"In that case..." Li Keyong continued, "Father wants you to do something."

"Please tell me, godfather. I will try my best!"

"You get rid of Su Qingjue."

???

"I?"

Li Siyuan looked puzzled.

Although he has reached the great heavenly level, his strength is not much different from that of the Underworld Emperor.

It only took Su Qingjue two moves to kill the Hades Emperor who broke through in the battle.

Then killing him would be a piece of cake!

Isn't this old guy clearly asking him to die?

Li Siyuan didn't dare to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, sir!"

"Go down, I'm tired!"

"Yes, kid, please resign!"

Li Siyuan stepped back silently and left.

The moment he turned around, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be controlled and burst out.

Li Keyong looked at Li Siyuan's leaving figure and couldn't help but sneer.

He said to himself: "Boss, you are good in everything. You are ambitious and capable, but it's a pity...you are not my biological son..."

Li Keyong looked up at the sky.

The news that someone from Jin's Tongwenguan assassinated the King of Shu must have spread throughout the world.

Although it had nothing to do with other princes, how could they not feel insecure when they saw the King of Shu being assassinated?

Under such circumstances, other vassal states would most likely secretly unite to boycott Jin, and Jin would become the target of public criticism.

In order to eliminate the anger in the hearts of those princes, and also to give an explanation to the King of Shu.

Li Keyong was prepared to use Li Siyuan's life to extinguish the anger in the hearts of other princes.

of course.

He felt that this was not enough.

In order to better eliminate the impact of this assassination, Li Keyong also planned to contact Su Qingjue privately and wanted to reach an agreement with Su Qingjue.

He sent troops to help Su Qingjue attack Liang, but in return Su Qingjue took action to eliminate Li Siyuan, confirming that he and Li Siyuan were not on good terms. In order to retaliate, Li Siyuan sent people to assassinate the princes and destroy the illusion of his alliance to attack Liang.

In this way, the King of Shu will have an explanation, and the other princes will not worry too much about this matter.

He also took the opportunity to eliminate his adopted son who was ambitious and always eyeing his position.

The result was a happy one for everyone, just what they wanted!

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince requests an audience!"
