Chapter 129 Chasing and Killing Xiao Zhongju

Yang Qi: "..."

No, another accident happened?

I saw that the person who came directly sat on another table in the tea shed, but his eyes fell on Yang Qi.

It was Xiao Zhongju who came.

At this time, Xiao Zhongju disguised himself as a casual martial artist in the Jianghu, with disheveled hair and a big knife on his back, rushing here in a hurry.

He didn't expect to meet Yang Qi and his group here.

Although Yang Qi didn't know Xiao Zhongju, he didn't even know there was such a person.

But Xiao Zhongju knew him, to be precise, he knew Pu Yan.

When he chose to leave Confucianism and devote himself to the struggle for imperial power, he faced two choices.

One is the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, and the other is the second prince Zhu Kai.

The rest of the princes are either too young, or they are really not talented.

Therefore, the future emperor must be selected from these two people.

For Xiao Zhongju, he has a 50.00% probability of choosing the right one.

And after careful analysis, he found that the eldest prince Zhu Zhen had a great chance of winning.

That's right, it was Zhu Zhen.

But Xiao Zhongju turned his head and cast himself under Zhu Qi's door.

Because after Xiao Zhongju's investigation, he found that Zhu Zhen had deep thoughts and seemed to be planning something secretly. I'm afraid there was a big conspiracy in it.

Xiao Zhongju was also worried that he would not be able to use his talents well by his side, and would be led by his nose instead, so he turned his attention to Zhu Qi.

Although Zhu Qi is impulsive and irritable, and has no city, but just like this, he can control it better.

But he never expected that he would become a useless person.

And Zhu Qi also showed his cold side, not only gave up Xiao Zhongju, but even wanted to silence him.

Fortunately, senior brother Yi Xingzhi sent wood ginseng grass, Xiao Zhongju's injuries have now fully recovered.

But Zhu Qi's pursuers have been chasing here from the capital, and they are determined to kill him.

Seeing Pu Yan appearing here, Xiao Zhongju was taken aback for a moment, but he still controlled his expression without revealing any flaws.

Originally according to Xiao Zhongju's plan, he went straight to Black Rock City after leaving the capital this time.

Since Zhu Qi is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, he will change someone to assist him.

Back then it was Zhu Qi who asked Xiao Zhongju to arrange someone to assassinate Pu Yan. He thought he had succeeded the first time.

I never thought Pu Yan was still alive, so I had to send more people to attack Hanshan Temple at night.

In the end, not only did it fail, but the six doors seized the evidence, leading to this end.

But Xiao Zhongju also kept an eye on it.

He once asked Zhu Qi why he had to kill such an ordinary monk.

Zhu Qi gave a very nonsense reason.

"That day I dreamed that an old man with a white beard told me that Pu Yanhe from Hanshan Temple would be my biggest threat, so I must hurry up and get rid of him."

Xiao Zhongju: "..."

This is obviously a lie, you should use a similar reason anyway, otherwise I will look stupid like this!

Xiao Zhongju complained in his heart, but he didn't show anything on the surface, he just arranged the manpower according to Zhu Qi's order.

But secretly he was investigating Pu Yan's true identity.

Xiao Zhongju didn't believe that it was just an ordinary monk, Zhu Qi would expend so much energy to deal with him.

Soon all the materials of Pu Yan were placed in front of Xiao Zhongju.

16 years old, an orphan, was picked up by Jiyuan on the side of the road and accepted as a big disciple. Since then, he has been living in Hanshan Temple and never left the temple gate.

I looked over and over again, but no matter how I looked, I couldn't find any problems.

Could it be that there is a problem with Pu Yan's real identity?
After thinking about it, this is the only possibility.

But what will Puyan's true identity be?

How could it make Zhu Qi care so much?
As the investigation progressed, a former royal secret was rediscovered.

The third prince, Zhu Yu, died shortly after birth, and the cause of death is unknown.

Calculated in this way, if Zhu Yu grows up to his current age, he should be exactly 16 years old.

Isn't this just right!
Xiao Zhongju suddenly realized.

If Pu Yan was the third prince Zhu Yu who died young, then all this could be explained clearly.

Zhu Qi must be afraid that there will be another competitor, so he deliberately arranges people to assassinate him.

But that's not quite right either.

Is it worth spending so much trouble just to have an extra prince?
Then Xiao Zhongju found out another rumor.

This rumor was only circulated in the capital for a short period of time. Later, with the vigorous suppression of the six doors, no one dared to mention it anymore, and it was gradually forgotten by people.

Xiao Zhongju got this information from a veteran guarding the city.

According to the veteran, a vision appeared in the sky one night 16 years ago.

A circular halo suddenly appeared above the palace, followed by a dragon shadow appearing in it.

The circle of light exudes golden light and shrinks continuously, binding the dragon shadow tightly.

Then it disappeared.

There was no sound during the whole process, so only a small number of people saw this vision.

The veteran happened to be on duty that night, so he stood on the city wall and witnessed the whole process.

On the second day after the incident, the news of the third prince's death came out. At the same time, all the gates in the entire capital were guarded by heavy soldiers, and their luggage was checked at the same time.

So the folks rumored that it was Qin Tianjian who discovered that the third prince's fate was in conflict with the emperor's, and that the dragon aura on his body was different from that of many princes.

Therefore, Qin Tianjian took action to suppress the third prince, so as to protect Daxia's country forever.

After Xiao Zhongju heard about this rumor, his first reaction was that it was a nonsense and groundless.

But once combined with Zhu Qi's desire to put Pu Yan to death so much, Xiao Zhongju had a bold guess.

Perhaps the third prince back then was not in conflict with Emperor Xia's fate, but a great threat to the rest of the princes.

That's why Qin Tianjian took the risk to change his fate, but he missed, and the third prince died early.

But the real situation is that the third prince somehow fell into exile among the people and was adopted by Jiyuan of Hanshan Temple.

This secret was known to Zhu Qi, so he tried every means to kill him.

Due to the lack of more information, this is just Xiao Zhongju's guess.

Now he is running away from Zhu Qi, but he has no intention of giving up assisting a prince to ascend the throne.

After thinking about it, he turned his head and headed towards Black Rock City.

After all, there was still Pu Yan who was suspected to be the third prince, so Xiao Zhongju decided to look for him.

I didn't expect to meet him halfway, what a coincidence.

But how to strike up a conversation has become a difficult problem.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?" After Tian Dazhuang brought tea and food to Yang Qi and the others, he ran to Xiao Zhongju's table and asked enthusiastically.

"What are they eating?" Xiao Zhongju smiled at Yang Qi, and nodded slightly as a signal.

When he saw a few pancakes on Yang Qi's table, he asked curiously.

"That's my specialty here - butter pot pie, would you like some?"

"Okay, give me some." Xiao Zhongju nodded.

At this moment, a sound of horseshoes came from a distance.

Xiao Zhongju was overjoyed.

The opportunity is coming!
