Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 371 Cruel Secret

The prince's words, like a stuffy stone weighing on his heart, hit Xu Zun's heart.

Indeed, only by proving that the prince died at the hands of the sea monster can Xu Zun have a better ending, otherwise he will be deeply involved in political struggles and will no longer be able to control his own destiny.

However, if the sea monster is used to deal with business, can the Queen Mother trust herself?
"Look, Lord Xu," the crown prince continued to analyze, "I am the only royal blood of Daxuan, and the queen mother is very old, and it is impossible to have children.

"Then the royal father has become the only hope for the queen mother to continue the bloodline, so the royal father can't die, he wants to continue the incense for the royal family, but is the incense surnamed Li or Lin?
"Besides, with the body of the royal father, after being frightened by the Heavenly Tribulation, can he still give birth to blood for the royal family?

"So, the truth is often the cruelest," said the prince, "Even if the queen mother becomes an empress, she must be full of troubles, do you think you will end well?
"It's better...cooperate with me, only this crown prince inherits the great rule, can the world be stabilized, it's justified!
"If you can protect my Li clan's lineage, it will naturally be a world-class achievement, and you should be a knight!" Li Xun raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said solemnly, "If Mr. Xu is worried about my insincerity, I can treat you as soon as I come. I swear to God, if you disobey Mr. Xu, you will be punished by God!
"Secondly, I can also board the boat with you and discuss important matters on your boat, how about it?"

"..." Xu Zun didn't speak, but his expression was extremely rich, as if he was seriously thinking about Li Xun's proposal.

"Your Excellency, don't believe him," Huo Anu said bluntly, "Thousands of people have been silenced by him, let alone you who have harmed their good deeds?"

Hearing the words, Kong Zhen turned his head and glared at Huo Anu, his resentful eyes seemed to say: "You little servant is so unruly, how can you speak here?"
"Sister is right," who knows, Ani, who was standing next to the princess on the other side, echoed, "I think these people are ruthless, my lord should be more careful!"

"You?" Kong Zhen looked at Ani, then turned to Xu Zun and said, "Master Xu, these guards are so uneducated, do you want them to teach Master Xu what to do?"

This sentence is obviously trying to sow discord.

"This..." Xu Zun put on a look of embarrassment, waved his hands at Huo Anu and Ani, telling them to keep quiet.

"Hahaha..." At this moment, the crown prince suddenly smiled again, and said to Xu Zun, "Master Xu, I know the matter is very important, you need to be cautious.

"It's okay, don't look at this occasion as unusual, but we have plenty of time.

Why don't you talk to me about something else? "

"Oh?" Xu Zun frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Tianlong Inn," the prince glanced at Kong Zhen first, and then said, "My lord's previous analysis was wrong. This Tianlong Inn was not built by the Queen herself."

"Oh?" Xu Zun was taken aback again, not understanding why Li Xun suddenly mentioned Tianlong Inn?
I don't know if he meant something else, or he was deliberately delaying time.

At this time, Li Xun and Kong Zhen exchanged glances, and Kong Zhen exhaled and said, "This Tianlong Inn was actually built by my father and king, and it has been nearly 20 years now."

Ok?
Xu Zun was still puzzled, but felt that the two sang together, as if there was something in their words, so he secretly winked at Zhao Yu.

The smart Zhao Yu had also noticed it a long time ago, and immediately wandered around the hall with the Nine-Run Soul Turning Knife to prevent accidents from happening.

However, both he and Xu Zun were wrong, the prince and Kong Zhen talked like this but conspired, but the conspiracy was not elsewhere, but in the words!

"Master Xu," the prince said, "Although you are young, you should have heard about the assassination case in the palace 18 years ago, right?"

"what?"

Xu Zun was surprised, and said in his heart, assassination by the palace?Japanese?Why did you mention this all of a sudden?

"The real mastermind of that assassination incident was Tianlong Inn!" Li Xun said.

Is that so?

Xu Zun asked: "That is to say, the Banshee Kingdom planned the assassination, why? Why the assassination?"

"Back then, Prince Daxuan had great power," Kong Zhendai replied, "The crown prince is young, and the imperial power is unstable. If the emperor and the queen mother were assassinated and died, then Daxuan would definitely be in chaos."

"Oh?" Xu Zun frowned, "Then I still don't understand, so what if Daxuan is in chaos, do you still want to invade Daxuan?"

"Hmph," Kong Zhen snorted coldly with a smile, "My lord guessed wrong on this point, the long-cherished wish of my father and me is to unify the East China Sea.

"But those small countries rely on Daxuan, so only by taking advantage of Daxuan's civil strife can we help us unify the East China Sea!"

"Oh..." Xu Zun pretended to understand, and immediately asked, "So, the civil strife in the Izumo Kingdom should have been ordered by Her Majesty the Queen, right?"

"So," Kong Zhen didn't deny it, "you have to believe in the strength of Tianlong Inn, and joining forces with us will benefit you!"

"Really?" Xu Zun chuckled, "I said so much just to convince me that Tianlong Inn is powerful?"

"Of course not," the prince said, "Anyway, the assassination 18 years ago has failed, so these are not important!"

"Then what is the most important?" Xu Zun expressed curiosity.

"The most important thing, of course..." The prince paused suddenly, and then revealed a wicked and strange smile, "The iron coffin is here!"

what?
As soon as the word "iron coffin" came out of his mouth, Xu Zun's heart seemed to be hit by something, and he immediately showed an unbelievable expression.

How could this happen? Why did Li Xun bring up the iron coffin again at this juncture? What exactly did he want to say?
"Isn't this incident too impressive for Mr. Xu?" Li Xun smiled steadily and said, "That's right, the fake Qiu Yongnian who was captured is from Tianlong Inn!"

Oh……

Xu Zun thought quickly, he was not unfamiliar with this speculation, because when the old monk of Chanyin Temple sang that mysterious ballad, Xu Zun had already thought that the fake Qiu Yongnian was from Tianlong Inn.

However, what is the meaning of what the prince said at this moment?
Could it be...he knows what is hidden in the iron coffin?
That's right, the fake Qiu Yongnian and his gang are from Tianlong Inn, and their purpose is obviously to find the things inside the iron coffin.

If you don't know, what else can you do?
"That is to say..." Xu Zun turned to Kong Zhen, "They are all Her Majesty's people, what are they going to do?"

"Wrong," the prince corrected, "Although they are all the queen's people, they are doing something for me!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Zun asked without thinking, "What is in the iron coffin?"

Since he came to Daxuan, this iron coffin has been following him all the time, making him extremely eager to know what is inside the iron coffin?
When questioning, Xu Zun unconsciously glanced at Ku Niang, because Ku Niang also came from the iron coffin.

However, Ku Niang still had an expressionless and icy look on her face, and the fierceness in her eyes was still the same as usual.

"No way?" The crown prince smiled slightly, "Inside the iron coffin is the corpse of the national teacher Qiu Dingtian, doesn't this lord know?"

"Really?" Xu Zun couldn't hide his excitement, "It's really just Qiu Dingtian's corpse?"

"That's right," the prince said, "Two years ago, all the powers in the court wanted to get this corpse! Even we were one step too late."

"Qiu Dingtian's body," Xu Zun murmured, "what secret is it hiding?"
