After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

353 Swinging the Sword
When Li Chenan said this, not only Ning Zhixing was taken aback, but Ning Chuchu who was beside him also widened his eyes.

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

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

"It's impossible!"

Ning Zhixing denied Li Chenan's speculation, and said:
"According to the mother and concubine, 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 her shroud. How could she murder Queen Lu?"

"Again..."

Li Chenan interrupted Ning Zhixing with a wave of his hand, "This matter will eventually come to an end."

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

"What's the matter?"

"Where is the Red Flame Army hiding?"

Ning Zhixing looked at Li Chenan, his heart was slightly shocked, and there was a hint of meaningful ridicule in his eyes.

"You also know that the Red Flame Army is not in Wu Ya Pass?"

"You also understand that the matter of suppressing bandits has nothing to do with the overall situation?"

"Guess where the Red Flame Army is now?"

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

"At first, I also thought that it would take some days for the Red Flame Army to reach the capital, but then I changed my mind, and I can even guess where the Red Flame Army is hiding."

Ning Zhixing's face changed slightly, "Because what made you change your mind?"

"you!"

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

"You don't need the bullshit credit for suppressing bandits at all!"

"What you need is to live safely, wait, wait for the change in Kyoto!"

"The emperor invited us to a banquet that night. Your performance was very good, but knowing your son is like your father... You can't hide it from your father's eyes after all!"

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

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

"I entered the Palace of Mental Cultivation and deliberately ran against you. According to your character, you shouldn't let me go! Especially in front of your father, you should show your determination as a prince."

"But you took a step back!"

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

"Later I suggested that you should go to the fiefdom. I was reminding the emperor, but the emperor turned a deaf ear to it... I guess the emperor must have something wrong!"

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

"Then I told about the batch of taxes and rations. This is a major matter related to the national economy and the people's livelihood! Logically, as the emperor, he should urge me to immediately suppress the bandits and get back those taxes and rations."

"Do you remember when I said I was going to watch it for another half a month? The emperor didn't respond to this, he didn't act in a hurry!"

"Either he really doesn't care about this Jiangshan Sheji, or...he has something to hide!"

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

"If he really doesn't care about Jiangshan Sheji, 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 passed on as the eldest son of the emperor. This was done on purpose by him!"

Ning Zhixing was already shocked in his heart, but now he was a little puzzled when he heard this sentence. He still looked at Li Chenan, and Li Chenan sat in front of him again, solving his doubts:
"Think about it, if I'm really Queen Lu's son, why wouldn't he be overjoyed and immediately announce it openly?"

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

"But he just rewarded me for a while, and released such a smoke and bomb... There are two kinds of meanings."

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

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

"As for the second... 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 Baozi Xiao looked at Li Chen'an with his slender eyes squinting at this time, wondering if this cow is too self-righteous?
"He made me the eldest son of the emperor out of nothing, and gave me such an inexplicable but dreadful identity, but it didn't attract attention... He let me control the Imperial City Division. What kind of place is the Imperial City Division?"

"Hall of Hades!"

"It has nothing to do with the yamen of the central government."

"He handed me a knife. Today you have tasted the taste of this knife, but his purpose is obviously not for me to use this knife to cut you..."

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

"What he hopes is that I can take this knife and go to Changle Palace!"

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

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

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

"...Who can coerce him?"

"The emperor is also a human being, and he can coerce the emperor to command the princes... If I have the chance, I might as well do it."

"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 changed drastically.

He stared at Li Chen'an in a daze, and asked after a while: "Aren't the people from the Imperial City Division still watching the Chi Yan Army at Wu Ya Pass?"

"That's how it was originally. In fact, those people are still watching at Wuya Pass. It's just that Duke Yan shouldn't let Mrs. Yan Zifu go to the Red Flame Army!"

Ning Zhixing said puzzledly:

"It's normal for Yan Zifu to go to the Chiyan Army. The Chiyan Army is the sword in the hands of Yan Guogong to check and balance the Shenwu Army."

"That's right, but the movement of Yanzifu going to the Chiyan Army is a bit big. Of course, the people from the Imperial City Division will be watching. He should have gone all the way south, but he happened to go to a place he shouldn't go when he was in Guangling City !"

"where?"

“The tavern under the banyan tree!”

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

"He drank a meal of Bawang wine, Huapingchun, two jars in my tavern, and left drunk. But there was a little girl named Cuihua in my tavern, and she was a good eater."

"So Cuihua followed Yanzifu... Yanzifu boarded the boat at Huaping Lake. He didn't go south, but the boat went north, which is the direction of Kyoto."

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

"However, the people from the Imperial City Division did not find that Yan Zifu appeared in the capital."

"I later learned that there is another branch of the Yuguang Canal, which ends at a place called Huaishan County. From there, there is a road leading to the Qishan Corridor."

"The end of the Qishan Corridor is Qi Shuiyuan...he is not that interested in going to Qishuiyuan to see the scenery. The only place that the Imperial City Secretary can't 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 going to save the emperor, they are planning in the capital!"

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

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

"……what do you want?"

"Too many princes is troublesome, and now you know too much trouble, 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.

No second sword.

At the moment when everyone hadn't reacted, he swung a sword!
