Chapter 525: Liao People Are Out

Kunwu waved his arm, and the carriage broke into pieces, revealing the trembling Xiao Qing and a corpse wearing exactly the same clothes as her.

"Oh, clever one."

Zhao Yushu took a look, sneered, and separated from Kunwu on the left and right, rushing towards the maid whose mind and qi were close to collapse. At the same time, Zhao Yushu blew a whistle.

More than twenty Western warriors dressed in Liao costumes showed their heads from the hidden hilltop and saw Concubine Wang sitting in the carriage.

There was no guard around her. Further away, a middle-aged maid was kneeling on the ground with a purple face, as if she had died of poison. Further away, a figure quietly disappeared into the woods.

As a maid who had reached the Great Perfection of the External Scene, the poison should not have taken effect so quickly. However, in order to forcibly dissolve the Red-Pink Skeleton, she had to deal with two monks who were comparable to the Ninth Heaven. In the end, she, who was not strong to begin with, could not hold on for long.

Queen Dowager Wang looked at the strange Liao warriors rushing down, smiled bitterly, and crushed a huge earring that was dangling beside her cheek.

With a loud bang, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose where the carriage had originally been.

Concubine Xiao Qing died at this moment.

The Queen Mother was assassinated in Shengci Temple and her body was never found, but another intact earring and a few pieces of rags were left behind.

The hut where the eunuch who distributed the notices lived was deserted, but this did not pose a problem for the powerful Western warriors.

These relics were placed directly at the gate of the King of Shu's Palace.

People on the street saw a young man dressed in Liao costumes walking around with these things, and also brought over a large white cloth with a line of words written on it in Liao characters.

Traitor.

Most Tang people did not understand Liao language, but there were always one or two knowledgeable people who could explain it to everyone, so everyone had a question: who was the traitor? And who was this Liao person carrying the flag?

Countless passers-by followed this man all the way and watched him walk towards the Prince of Shu's Palace. Then the guards of the Prince of Shu's Palace were about to rush over, but were knocked to the ground with two moves. The other party threw these things down and squeezed into the crowd and walked away.

The King of Shu was shaking in his chair. The old eunuch behind him, who should have been calm and composed, was also shaking. The two young eunuchs kneeling on the ground no longer dared to shake.

Queen Dowager Wang died as she wished, but the King of Shu was not happy.

"What's going on? How could they be Liao people? Uncle, didn't you say they were all from the Western Regions?"

"Old slave, old slave, you two slaves! What on earth are you going to do?"

The old eunuch pointed his trembling fingers at the two people kneeling below and spitted all over the King of Shu.

"Damn you! I checked when I sent it, and they are all from the Western Regions! Not to mention Liao people, there's not even a Tang person!"

"What's going on now?"

The King of Shu shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice almost becoming hoarse. He believed that within a few days, envoys from Liao would come from Chang'an to hold him accountable. If he followed Aweng's plan, he would send a few people from the Western Regions over, kill the two slaves and push them up as scapegoats, and then he would appropriately offer some money and property to the emperor in Chang'an who was worried about taxes. The turmoil would naturally be suppressed, and then he could safely be the real King of Shu.

As for why people from the Western Regions would kill Concubine Wang, you can go ask the dead. Don't you know how deep the hatred between your Liao Kingdom and the Western Regions is?

However, in the eyes of the old eunuch behind him, it should have been so, but things had to go a little further. For example, under the secret operation of Concubine Wang who escaped, the King of Shu would at least be placed under house arrest, and in serious cases he would be deprived of the throne, and replaced with the candidate that Concubine Wang had already prepared, who would indirectly control the King of Shu's Mansion, and then lie dormant for a while. Then he would have the opportunity to enter Chang'an with Concubine Wang!

Now, Concubine Wang is really dead, and it was the Liao people who killed her. Who should the Liao people hold accountable now?

This became a confusing matter. The Liao people couldn't find the murderer, so they naturally had no excuse to attack the Tang. Now that their troops had come, how could they let it go?

By then, the case will inevitably be traced back to his nominal son. His distant brother on the throne in Chang'an will definitely not mind sending people to investigate the case and throwing himself to the Liao people as a scapegoat. The charges have been thought out. Although you look innocent, as a member of the royal family, how can you watch the Liao people grow stronger in your fiefdom and not notice the internal strife? How can you be a son and a prince?

"Aong! You have to save me, Aong!"

The old eunuch looked at the confused King of Shu and thought to himself, of course I have to save you, otherwise you, such a coward, would turn around and betray me. I might hesitate to kill you, the prince, but I wouldn't even frown when I was cut into pieces.

"My Lord, there is only one solution for now."

The old eunuch's eyes were fierce. He had done so much for the King of Shu, and it was time for the King of Shu to do something for him.

Zhao Yushu returned to Fu Yun and the forty-something thieves' base, where there were only more than twenty thieves left. He winked at Fu Yun who had returned long ago and walked into the room.

"Brother, what's the result?"

"The Queen Mother is dead."

"Brother can even kill a Great Perfection in the outer scene. To be honest, even Brother Wu couldn't do it when he was in the sixth level."

"It can be done. This Great Perfection dish is very good, not even as good as the ordinary Ninth Heaven."

"vegetable?"

"You don't understand. It doesn't matter. Anyway, now half of the people in Yizhou have seen that it was the Liao people who killed her. It will be difficult for the Liao Kingdom to use this excuse to counterattack Chang'an."

Fu Yun frowned: "Do the Liao people need an excuse to mobilize troops?"

"It's not necessary, but it's better to have it. After all, he doesn't want to sneak into the grassland and shoot when others attack them in the future. As a big country, it always wants to have a legitimate reason to fight and save face. For example, Xiao Qing, a princess, really died at the hands of people from the Western Regions, died in your Tang Dynasty, and the army of King Xiao Rang of the Southern Courtyard went to attack Chang'an, then the nobles in your Liao Kingdom would have to support it even if they didn't want to, because this is an external humiliation. But if she died at the hands of the Liao people themselves, Xiao Rang would have to consider whether the people of Liao Kingdom would be willing to stand by and watch if he wanted to fight. After all, this might be an internal struggle, do you understand?"

"I seem to understand a little."

Zhao Yushu patted his shoulder and said, "I'm just bragging. I'm not sure at all, but I'll do whatever I can. Although Li Huan of Chang'an deserves death, the people are innocent. I'll try my best to buy some time for Third Senior Brother."

The scandal of Concubine Wang's assassination was bound to last for a long time. Before the King of Shu and the old eunuch had time to discuss a perfect solution, a team had already arrived at the King of Shu's mansion.

Li Qi led the team personally, with the Five Guards of Jiannan and a large group of people from Yizhou Prefecture behind him. They knocked on the door of the King of Shu's Palace and, in the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, placed the King of Shu under house arrest. Until the official envoy from the Chang'an Zongzheng Temple arrived, Yizhou Prefecture would be responsible for arresting the murderer.

Thousands of people in the Shu Palace were arrested in one day. Except for the necessary personnel responsible for the operation of the palace who were under surveillance, all the others were imprisoned.

"Li Qi! How dare you touch me, Aung! Aung, where are you?!"

Li Qi looked expressionlessly at the King of Shu being invited into the room with a loud noise, and waved his hand.

"We found this so-called Aung mentioned by the King of Shu. It's shameful for a prince to call someone Aung! Besides, such a big incident happened at the tea bureau, why hasn't Nong Shouguang been brought here yet?"

No matter what kind of political impact this incident will cause later, the Liao people's power has been wiped out in Yizhou City. Zhao Yushu lightly drew a cross on the map, and someone was out.

It’s a pity that the Red Lotus Sect Leader was not caught during this turmoil.
