At that time, Wu Qingcang's prestige reached its peak, but just when everyone thought Wu Qingcang would become the second military god, he mysteriously disappeared.
In response to this, Emperor Daxing just gave him a light imperial edict, saying that he had other appointments, and then relieved him of all military power and duties, and he never appeared in front of the world again.
It wasn't until his younger brother Wu Bishan was appointed as the newest guard general of Crescent Pass that people remembered his elder brother's demeanor.
But until now, no one knows where Wu Qingcang has gone.
Looking at the tall and majestic Wu Qingcang in front of him, Li Chen sighed softly and said, "You would have had an extremely prosperous future, but you have been unknown in this Ancestral Temple for twenty years?"
Wu Qingcang had a free and easy expression on his face and said with a smile: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness. It is satisfying to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make achievements, but if the emperor orders me to sweep the floors of this Ancestral Temple for the rest of my life, it is also my mission."
"reason?"
Li Chen asked: "It is absolutely impossible for my father to let you sweep the floor in the Ancestral Temple without any reason, and tell me the reason."
"can not say."
Wu Qingcang shook his head and said calmly: "This is also one of the contents of the Holy Emperor's decree, and I will never be able to say it in this life."
With a sneer, Li Chen said: "Pretend to be a ghost!"
Wu Qingcang said nothing.
Li Chen stood up and said coldly: "I don't care what the intentions of you two brothers are, and I don't care how many secrets you say about the imperial edict. I might as well tell you clearly that there is a big problem with the Crescent Gate at the moment, and someone may force the Crescent Gate to open at any time.
The city gate allows 600,000 Liao cavalry to enter the territory, so you, the Wu family, must reassure me."
"How can Your Highness feel at ease?" Wu Qingcang asked.
Li Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Qingcang. His reaction really made Li Chen a little unsure.
Originally, it was Li Chen's strategy to use the lives of the young and old of the Wu family to beat Wu Banshan, who was far away at Crescent Pass, to make him understand that his only choice was to rely on the East Palace.
But now, Wu Qingcang's sudden appearance made Li Chen realize that this matter might not be that simple.
Logically speaking, as Wu Qingcang is Wu Banshan's brother, it is very reasonable for him to be detained here as one of the hostages.
But the key point is that it was Wu Qingcang who disappeared in front, and Wu Banshan who rose behind.
If Wu Qingcang was not hidden by the emperor, how would Wu Qingcang have a chance to move the mountain?
But the emperor put the more powerful Wu Qingcang in the Ancestral Temple, but then supported his younger brother Wu Bishan. This is ridiculous.
"This is a question you should ask yourselves."
Li Chen said calmly: "You two brothers should have a way to reassure me."
"if not......"
"Otherwise, His Highness would rather kill by mistake than let go, right?" Wu Qingcang asked, his tone not surprising, let alone angry.
Li Chen didn't speak, but the silence at this time was an answer.
Wu Qingcang looked at Li Chen and asked again: "Can the letters that Zhao Xuanji has communicated with my brother over the years put His Highness at ease?"
When Li Chen heard this, even though he had already prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but tremble.
Is this Wu Qingcang crazy?
If this thing really existed, he would take it out without even having time to hide it?
"Back then, my younger brother received favor from Zhao Xuanji, and there are only four people in the world who know this."
Wu Qingcang smiled proudly. He stretched out four fingers and took one back every time he said a name.
"My brother himself, Zhao Xuanji, me, and...the current Holy Emperor."
