When Li Chenan said these words, not only Ning Zhixing was shocked, but Ning Chuchu on the side also widened her eyes.

At this moment, Wang Zhenghaoxuan, who was holding the bowl, seemed to have forgotten the smell of the mutton. He listened to it with gusto.

Xiao Baozi looked into the distance, but her ears moved slightly.

"This is impossible!"

Ning Zhixing denied Li Chenan's speculation and said:

"According to the mother-in-law, my sister-in-law had the best relationship with Queen Lu back then. Even after Queen Lu passed away, my sister-in-law personally changed the shroud for her. How could she possibly murder Queen Lu?"

"Besides..."

Li Chenan waved his hand to interrupt Ning Zhixing, "This matter will eventually have an outcome."

"Let's not discuss this now, let's talk about another thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Where are the Red Flame Army hiding?"

Ning Zhixing looked at Li Chenan, his heart was slightly shaken, and there was a meaningful mockery in his eyes.

"You also know that the Red Flame Army is not at Wuya Pass?"

"Do you also understand that suppressing bandits actually has nothing to do with the overall situation?"

"Guess where the Red Flame Army is now?"

Li Chenan supported his knees with both hands and leaned forward slightly, with a smile on his face.

"Originally, I thought it would take some time for the Red Flame Army to arrive in Kyoto, but then I changed my mind. I could even guess where the Red Flame Army was hiding."

Ning Zhixing's face changed slightly, "Why did you change your mind?"

"you!"

Li Chenan pointed at Ning Zhixing and said: "You are the dignified second prince, the future emperor of the Ning Kingdom that Ji Tai and others want to support!"

"You don't need this bullshit credit for suppressing bandits!"

"What you need is to live safely and wait for the changes in Kyoto!"

"The emperor hosted a banquet for us that night. You performed very well, but you know your son better than your father... you can't hide it from your father after all!"

"Of course you can't hide it from my eyes!"

Li Chenan suddenly stood up and took two steps back and forth under Ning Zhixing's surprised gaze.

"I entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart to deliberately run against you. According to your character, you should not have let me take a step! Especially in front of your father, you should show your determination as a prince."

"But you just took a step back!"

Li Chenan looked at Ning Zhixing again, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Where is this monster?"

"Later I suggested that you should go to the fiefdom. I reminded the emperor, but the emperor turned a deaf ear... I guess there must be something wrong with the emperor!"

"As for what the emperor's problem is, I didn't know at that time."

"Then I talked about the tax and grain matters. This is a major matter related to the national economy and the people's livelihood! Logically speaking, as the emperor, he should urge me to suppress the bandits immediately and get the tax grain back."

"Do you remember that I said I was going to watch it for another half month? The emperor actually didn't react to this. He didn't act in a hurry!"

"Either he really doesn't care about the country anymore, or... he has something to hide!"

"I thought about it later and thought it was the latter."

"If he really doesn't care about the country, he should give in. Whether he chooses the current prince or you, there must be an emperor sitting in the palace."

"But he didn't!"

"In addition...I was suddenly rumored to be the eldest son of the emperor. This was intentional on his part!"

Ning Zhixing was already shocked, but now he was a little confused when he heard this sentence. He still looked at Li Chenan, and Li Chenan sat in front of him again, clearing his doubts:

"Think about it, if I were really Empress Lu's son, how could he not be overjoyed and immediately announce it openly and openly?"

"He will let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and will take me to worship in front of Queen Lu's mausoleum!"

"But he just gave me a reward, and then he released such smoke and bombs... There are two kinds of intentions."

"First, he used me to attract the attention of Ji Tai and others. He succeeded in this."

"I have become the focus of many powerful people in Kyoto, and I have become an urgent target for them to deal with."

"As for the second one... I think the emperor needs me!"

Ning Zhixing was startled: "What does Father need from you?"

"I need to save him!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked.

Even Xiao Baozi squinted his slender eyes and looked at Li Chenan, wondering if this cow was too self-righteous?

"He made me the eldest son of the emperor out of thin air, and gave me such an inexplicable but terrifying identity, but it was not revealed... He asked me to control the Imperial City Division. What is the Imperial City Division?"

"The Palace of Hell!"

"It has nothing to do with the various ministries and yamen in the central government."

"He handed me a knife. Today you have tasted the taste of this knife, but his intention is obviously not to let me use this knife to chop you..."

"How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?"

"What he hopes is that I can take this knife with me to Changle Palace!"

Ning Zhixing ignored Li Chenan's comparison of himself to a chicken, and frowned: "This is impossible!"

"Changle Palace is the place where my father cultivates Taoism. How could he allow you to go to Changle Palace and have a knife?"

"I said he was coerced, do you believe it?"

"...Who can coerce him?"

"The emperor is also a human being. He holds the emperor hostage to command the princes... If I had the chance, I may not be able to do such a thing."

"Who do you think it is?"

Li Chenan shook his head: "I don't know either, but what I want to tell you now is that the Red Flame Army is most likely in Changle Palace!"

There was a bang in Ning Zhixing's head, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He looked at Li Chen'an blankly, and after a moment he asked: "Aren't the people from the Imperial City Division still watching the Red Flame Army at Wuya Pass?"

"That was originally the case. In fact, those people are still watching at Wuya Pass now. It's just that Duke Yan should not let Yan Zifu go to the Red Flame Army!"

Ning Zhixing said in confusion:

"It's normal for Yan Zifu to go to the Red Flame Army. The Red Flame Army is originally the sword in the hands of Duke Yan to check and balance the Shenwu Army."

"That's right, but the movement of Yan Zifu going to the Red Flame Army was a bit loud. Of course, the people from the Imperial City Department would keep an eye on him. He should have gone all the way south, but he happened to go to a place he shouldn't have gone to when he was in Guangling City.

!”

"where?"

“Tavern under the banyan tree!”

"Although I have come to Kyoto, my tavern is still there."

"He drank a meal of Bawang wine, Hua Pingchun, and two jars in my tavern, and left drunk. However, there was a little girl named Cuihua in my tavern. She was a master who could not bear to suffer."

"So Cuihua followed Yan Zifu... Yan Zifu boarded the boat at Huaping Lake. He did not go south. The boat went north, which is the direction of Kyoto."

"When I got the news, I delayed the suppression of bandits again and deliberately stayed in Kyoto for a few more days."

"However, the people from the Imperial City Department did not notice that Yan Zifu appeared in Kyoto."

"Later I learned that there is another branch of the Yuguangguang Canal, which ends at a place called Huaishan County. There is a road from there to enter the Qishan Corridor."

"The end of the Qishan Corridor is Qishuiyuan... He is not interested in going to Qishuiyuan to see the scenery. The only place the Imperial City Division cannot find is the Changle Palace!"

"Since Yan Zifu has gone to Changle Palace, it is obvious that the Red Flame Army is there... They are not here to save the emperor, their plot is in Kyoto!"

Li Chenan laughed and said, "Your Highness, am I right?"

"You really shouldn't have come to Shuangjiao Mountain!"

"...What do you want?"

"Too many princes is troublesome, and now you know too much is even more troublesome, so please go on your way, Your Highness!"

Ning Zhixing was shocked, "How dare you...!"

"There is nothing in the world that I, Li Chenan, dare not do!"

Li Chenan drew his sword.

Fuji sword.
