Seeing that Li Hongxin looked solemn, Qi Ning thought for a while before asking: "Prince, this person killed all the officials of the court. Could it be a thief who specifically opposes the court?"

Li Hongxin sighed: "Marty, I will say that I have been growing up in this Chengdu city for more than fifty years, but I have never seen this happen. I don't hide it from you, and I have offended many people. To this day, I know that many people want to take my life, so there are still a few masters in my palace."

"This is what it should be." Qi Ning immediately said: "Don't talk about heroes like the prince, even if they are younger generations, people and animals are harmless, but many people want to take my life."

Li Hongxin nodded slightly and said, "You Qi family and our Li family have committed murderous crimes, and they are inevitably hated by others." After a pause, he sneered: "But over the years, I have been storming and storming, but I was struggling by this stinger. The stinger has extremely high martial arts skills and sneaked into my palace without knowing it. If I hadn't returned to the room in the middle of the night and Fei Qiong was killed by someone, no one would have noticed it."

"The prince is sure that Feiqiong was killed by a stabbing guest?"

Li Hongxin nodded and said, "It's certainly true. The thrust guest seemed to be worried that others would not recognize him. Every time he tried to do something, he would pierce his throat." After pausing, he continued, "Several officials were killed continuously. I had discussed with Lord Wei and did not want to panic in the city, so I tried my best to block the news, but the people in the city seemed to have received some news. This time Fei Qiong was killed. If the people in the city knew that the assassin even came and went freely in Shu Palace, they would inevitably be even more panicked. Therefore, I just asked someone to make some arrangements in the mansion and go back and buried quietly."

Qi Ning sighed: "This big thing happened in the prince's mansion, but he still had to go out to greet him. He even held a banquet for me here. I am really sorry for me!"

Li Hongxin shook his head and smiled, "That's not what you said. You finally came from the capital and were ordered by the emperor, so how could I not receive it?" He looked at Wei Shutong and asked, "Mr. Wei, is the Heiyanling area ready to withdraw troops?"

Wei Shutong immediately said: "The officials have ordered them to withdraw from Heiyanling within two days."

"After I learned the news, I have sent someone to go." Li Hongxin nodded slightly, then smiled and said to Qi Ning: "Marty, I have sent my subordinate Jinguanwei to this matter in Heiyanling. I wonder if the court has any objections?"

Qi Ning shook her head and smiled, "That's not."

Li Hongxin smiled and said, "I am now a minister of Great Chu and I am living in Chengdu. In fact, it is okay to turn a blind eye to some things. To be honest, this time, I sent troops here only to express my attitude. If I want to cause trouble in Xichuan, I will be the first to refuse to agree, but I did not expect that there was another hidden story behind the Black Rock Cave incident."

Qi Ning said: "The prince doesn't know that Bai Tangling was stabbed, which has nothing to do with the Heiyan Cave. It was caused by another traitor, who wanted to blame Heiyanling. Fortunately, Bai Tangling survived, otherwise we would have wronged the good guy."

"Not bad." Li Hongxin immediately said, "I already know about this, and after hearing this, I was also surprised." He frowned and asked, "Mr. Wei, as you see, what is the name behind this? Why do anyone want to blame Heiyan Cave?"

Qi Ning shook her head and said, "Things are confusing, I really have no clue."

Li Hongxin raised his hand and said, "Come on, Marquis, don't stop chopsticks, and say while eating." He picked up a chopstick, suddenly put it down, and asked, "Mr. Marquis, do you think this matter has something to do with me?"

As soon as this said, Qi Ning was slightly surprised and thought to himself that the King of Shu was indeed unnatural. He never expected that he would ask this question at the dinner table. He was already surprised, and his face was even more exaggerated: "Why did the prince say this?"

Li Hongxin put down his chopsticks and smiled faintly: "Mr. Marquis, I will tell you that since I surrendered to the Great Chu, some slanderous words have never stopped over the years."

"Slanderous words?" Qi Ning also put down his chopsticks, "What does the prince mean?"

"Some people always say that I want to rebel." Li Hongxin smiled and said, "Hasn't the Marquis heard a trace of wind?"

Qi Ning felt a little nervous, thinking that Li Hongxin was not an ordinary person, and his words and deeds were unexpected, but he could not guess the old guy's thoughts for a while. He frowned and said, "The prince is clear and he is clear. Do you still care about other people's slanderous words?"

Li Hongxin sighed and said, "I am a martial artist and I have never liked to talk around the bush. Some people say that I am a local emperor in Xichuan, and I also say that I surrendered to the Great Chu in the past because of helplessness. Hehe, Marquis, I will tell you the truth today. When I was young and energetic, the Chu army attacked Xichuan. I was dissatisfied and felt that with my own ability, I could compete with anyone. However, the old Marquis of Jinyi used troops like a god, and the Chu army was brave and good at fighting. I surrendered in the end, although it was indeed because of the power, but after all, I realized that I was not as capable as I thought."

Qi Ning said: "The prince is well-known in the world."

"You are giving me a face to protect me." Li Hongxin waved his hand and smiled, "I know very well that I am far from being the old Marquis of Jinyi and even the Lord of Lingzun. Over the years, I have always thought deeply, but I can understand that to be a prince of Xiaoyao, free and easy, why fight and kill? Not only is it useless to yourself, but it also makes the people suffer...!" He smiled bitterly: "Life is born in autumn, it really doesn't grow, and it can't withstand too much trouble. Moreover, I am old..." He was old... "When I said this, my expression turned out to be a slight person.

After a short moment of silence in the elegant hall, Li Hongxin continued: "The Black Rock Cave Incident, Bai Tangling was stabbed by someone. In the eyes of many people, it is inevitable that someone wants to provoke the Miao people's rebellion and then cause the Xichuan rebellion. Marquis, if I were an ordinary person, who would be the first to doubt it?"

"Please give me advice!"

Li Hongxin smiled and said, "It's not someone else, it's me. Some people always think that I'm ill-hearted and want to see the chaos in Xichuan, and then take this opportunity to get ready, hahahahaha..."

Qi Ning actually thought this way, but she really didn't expect Li Hongxin to say it directly, and she was a little surprised.

"But I can tell you that this incident has nothing to do with me." Li Hongxin's expression suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "I know that even if I say this to others, there will not be many people who believe it. I am tired, and now the country is prosperous and the people of Xichuan are going to live a peaceful life. If I go against the will of the people, I will never have any good ending."

He looked calm and grim. Qi Ning thought to himself, could this incident really have nothing to do with Li Hongxin?

Wei Shutong had not made any noise, and finally said: "Prince, if someone wants to deliberately slander, you don't have to care at all. As long as the court believes in the prince and the emperor believes, nothing else matters."

"I know." Li Hongxin's expression was still very serious. After thinking for a while, he finally said: "I was raised in Xichuan since I was a child and was full of affection for this land. Over the years, the people of Xichuan have been recuperating and have enough food and clothing. Lord Wei has also worked diligently in Xichuan. I don't say much about it on weekdays, but I am very grateful."

"The prince is so serious."

Li Hongxin shook his head and said, "I said this today, and you may never hear me say this again. I said this, just to tell you that I want to see the stability and peace of Xichuan, and I don't want anyone to destroy it. However, after I learned that there was something else in the Black Rock Cave incident, I began to worry that there was a force in Xichuan that was preparing to turmoil in Xichuan."

"The prince saw that something was wrong?" Qi Ning asked immediately.

Li Hongxin sneered and said, "Someone wants to cause trouble to Xichuan, but I will not agree." After pausing, he said, "Has the Marquis heard of Dizang?"

Qi Ning was stunned, but said to himself: "The Ksitigarbha mentioned by the prince is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? I have heard of it. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the king of the underworld."

"Standardness is like the earth, and meditation is like a secret treasure." Li Hongxin said slowly: "Hell is not empty, and I will not become a Buddha. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can become a Buddha, but in order to save all the dead souls in the underworld, he voluntarily stayed in the underworld and made great wishes."

Wei Shutong seemed a little confused, and seemed to know why Li Hongxin mentioned Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Qi Ning also smiled and said, "Does the prince like Buddhism?"

"I have indeed studied Buddhism in recent years. I am old and always want to find something to do." Li Hongxin smiled and said, "It is said that some people are rumored that I ate vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, but that is a rumor. Although I donated several temples, I never ate vegetarian food. I keep drinking and meat every day. If I can't even eat wine and meat, I might as well take my life."

The three of them immediately laughed.

Li Hongxin then looked cold and said, "The Ksitigarbha I am talking about is not Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but a force."

"Strength?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Prince, the younger generation you said is a little confused."

Li Hongxin said: "I also occasionally learned that there is a force that regards Ksitigarbha as the most important thing in the secret place, and is elusive. So in the past two years, he has been cruising in Xichuan, and it seems that there is an ulterior motive. But these people are very cunning. I have actually sent someone to investigate and found nothing, but this force does exist in Xichuan, and it does endanger the stability of Xichuan."

Wei Shutong frowned and said, "Prince, the lower official knows nothing about this."

Qi Ning thought to himself, the late emperor sent you to Xichuan to take charge. After all, he should be a smart and capable person. He doesn’t know what Xichuan is doing. He really doesn’t know what Xichuan governor is doing.

However, obediently, although both of these two are in Chengdu, they don’t seem to have much date.

Thinking about it, Wei Shu was both sent by the court, and an important mission was to monitor King Li Hongxin of Shu. If the two had a close relationship with each other, they would have seen ghosts.

Li Hongxin said: "It's a ghost and monster, and his whereabouts are strange. It's not surprising that Lord Wei doesn't know. There are very few people who know that this force exists." His eyes were like a knife and he said coldly: "I suspect that the Black Rock Cave incident may have nothing to do with this Ksitigarbha."
