Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters hit the grass and startle a big snake
"Come on, I can't wait."
"It's okay to say it, but you must not spread the word. If Manager Sixteen finds out, I'm afraid we will be expelled from the palace."
"Don't worry, you still don't understand me? It goes in one ear and out the other, and it will never be spread to anyone else!"
The two guards did not stop digging, and soon they dug out a pit and threw the body into the pit.
"This is indeed a prince, what is his name like River King?"
"River King?" Another guard couldn't help but laugh and asked: "What is a River King? A prince in charge of the river?"
"River King?" Li Chengde's pupils dilated, and cold sweat instantly fell from his neck.
What River King? I’m afraid it’s not the River King, right?
Could it be that Cheng De has betrayed himself?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. At this moment, Li Chengde suddenly felt that he was a little reckless.
I thought I had designed it and no one could see through it, but I didn't know that there was a frog in the well, so I sat down and watched the sky.
The other guard did not answer immediately, as if he was choked. Li Chengde waited for a long time before he heard him continue.
"You don't care what kind of prince he is, he is already dead anyway."
"That's right, the only person in the Tang Dynasty who can be called a king is our King Qin!"
Li Chengde was so anxious that he wanted to tie them up immediately and interrogate them carefully.
Talking about it without mentioning the key points, isn’t this torturing people sincerely?
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. After talking a few more nonsense, the two guards once again said something that made Li Chengde frightened.
"Before I came out, Steward Sixteen had already given instructions. If I tell you this, just pretend you haven't heard of it. No third party will know about it!"
At this point, Li Chengde finally confirmed that Cheng De died in the palace of Prince Qin.
What secret was brought to the palace?
Why was he ordered to be executed secretly to avoid political instability?
It's all fake!
Is this Li Fangchen really cruel enough to kill him like this regardless of whether it is true or not?
There are two possibilities before Li Chengde, one is that he himself has been exposed, the other is that Li Fangchen killed and silenced the prince in order to prevent the news from spreading.
Both of these speculations are not good news for Li Chengde.
The first one is that he is afraid that he has fallen into Li Fangchen's scheme.
Second, if Li Fangchen kills people and silences them, the King of Hedong will die, let alone him, a "servant" in Li Anyan's mansion who knows the inside story.
After being stunned for a moment, when he looked outside the house, the two guards had already filled the pit and left the small courtyard.
"No! You can't be reckless. No matter what, I have to be careful!"
Li Chengde forced himself to pretend that he didn't know anything, and waited in the room for another half an hour before he walked out of the room and wanted to go outside the hospital.
He is now a servant of Prince Qin's palace, so naturally he has to do things that a servant should do.
Even though Prince Qin's palace is not big and there are not many servants, the treatment of the servants in this mansion is really amazing.
There are three people in a room, a separate house, and a monthly salary of five yuan.
Because he had just become a servant of Prince Qin's Mansion, he was not assigned any work, the steward just told him.
Do not enter the inner house and do not leave the outer house. Just clean the fallen leaves in the house from time to time.
I stayed up until night and ran out of the room on the pretext of going to the toilet.
In the dead of night, at midnight, Li Chengde dug the earth with his hands, dug up the pit, and examined the dead body.
"Cheng De! It's really Cheng De!"
Fortunately, the pit was not deep, so he dug up the body in more than an hour.
After confirming that this was Cheng De's body, Li Chengde spared no effort to bury the body again. He hurriedly ran back to his room and pretended to be asleep, regardless of the daylight.
Little did he know that after he returned home, a face appeared outside the courtyard.
"Big fish, hooked!"
On the second day, Li Chengde and Manager Liu took two days off, saying they were going back to their hometown to visit relatives.
Manager Liu also gave him ten guans of money to buy himself better clothes so as not to embarrass the Qin Palace.
Li Chengde pretended to thank Manager Liu, turned around and left the house. As soon as he left the gate, his face turned from sunny to gloomy, and he walked around in Chang'an City.
Bypassing Sifang and Sixth Street, he left through the East City Gate. After leaving the city, he opened his package, changed his clothes, and entered Chang'an through the West City Gate.
The sixteen people who had been following him were exhausted, and they scolded this guy for being a coward. He had many tricks.
Li Fangchen seemed to be planning to lure the fish to the bait.
First, he took a step to frighten the enemy, causing Li Chengde to panic. Then he sent people to follow him to see who else was behind Li Chengde.
Although he already knew Li Chengde's true identity, he still wanted to find out who else Li Chengde was related to besides Li Anyan.
Colluding with the remnants of Prince Yin, this is a huge capital crime!
If there is still power behind Li Chengde, Li Fangchen wants to kill them all to avoid further trouble.
"Where is he going?"
"Isn't this the prince-in-law and the general of the right military guard, Lu Guogong Xue Wanche's house?"
As Li Chengde arrived outside Duke Lu's mansion, Shiliu looked extremely ugly. Could it be that this "little prince" was related to Xue Wanche?
He had met Xue Wanche before. This prince was truly a fierce general. It was easy to find a thousand armies but hard to find a strong general.
Killing enemies on the battlefield is really like a crazy existence. Within three meters, there are all enemy heads.
"Quickly, go back and report to His Highness!"
Seeing that Li Chengde walked into Xue Wanche's house unobstructed, Shiliu secretly thought that there was trouble.
Now that Li Chengde knows he has been exposed, he will definitely not return to Prince Qin's Mansion. If Xue Wanche conspires with the other party, then His Highness's plan to arouse the enemy will really lead to a big snake!
It should be noted that the Youwu Guards are now in the hands of Xue Wanche, and there are only three guards stationed in Chang'an City.
Right Wuwei, Right Weiwei, and Left Qianniuwei.
Among them, there are 50,000 military guards on the right, 30,000 powerful guards on the right, and 30,000 cattle guards on the left.
As a confidant and loyal minister that Li Shimin valued very much, Xue Wanche was even more favored than Cheng Zhijie.
Who makes Cheng Zhijie such a "reckless man" sometimes unpredictable? Coupled with the pressure brought by the King of Qin's faction on the army, courtiers related to the King of Qin accounted for half of the "kingdom" of the general faction.
Li Shimin didn't want his position, which he had only secured for more than ten years, to be easily snatched away by Li Fangchen.
The ministers came to remonstrate and forced King Qin to ascend the throne. Did Li Shimin still have any choice?
Even the prince Li Chengqian was controlled by him. He could use power but not control it?
Li Shimin does not want to become the second Li Yuan and die in the palace. His grand ambition has just begun!
The guard returned home to report. After hearing this, Li Fangchen was surprised, "Xue Wanche? Why is this old guy involved?"
The guard said nervously: "Your Highness, the Sixteenth Steward is currently guarding outside Duke Lu's Mansion. I wonder if you..."
"There is no arrangement. Let Shiliu make his own decision. I want to go to the palace."
