In his heart, Zhu Mo also had a feeling: the Qinu of Jingde Town were actually a microcosm of this reform. Their fate was the fate of the reform. Life or death rested on this game. Under such circumstances, there should still be variables, but he couldn't pinpoint the opportunity for a moment.
As the atmosphere solidified, the four suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Wu Ming suddenly said,
"Young Master Zhu, this cannot go on. Jiangnan is already in such chaos. Can Seventh Master remain silent forever? I think we should go to the capital these two days, personally ask Seventh Master, and seek his advice. We could also try to gauge the Emperor's sentiment?"
Lu Kun said,
"That would be for the best!"
But despite the words,
All four felt that this trip would likely be in vain.
Thus, the few bid farewell.
...
Exiting the temple gate,
Lu Kun asked, "Zi Xuan, how do you plan to investigate?"
"I want to find Xu Wen Chang first, and then go to..."
"Zi Xuan, I told you to leave back then precisely because I feared this… Ever since ancient times, getting involved in royal disputes has been a matter of life and death. Even if one miraculously survived, they would have to live under a false name. It would be difficult to be as carefree as I am now..."
He, after all, had a sharp mind. After a moment of reflection, he immediately grasped the key point and said,
"Since things have come to this, it is indeed only by clarifying the truth that we can proceed... Zi Xuan, I already know your purpose... However, I know little about King Jing and Zhu Xue's affair. Moreover, as you've described it, the matter is extremely mysterious, and it's hard to see clearly for now... What are your thoughts on this?"
Zhu Mo stated directly,
"I believe Yan Shifan had his sights set on King Jing long ago. At the same time, he accepted Zhu Xue, the third son of King Ning. There must be something fishy about this... And King Jing's madness was also very unexpected. I really want to go to Anlu to take a look... I came to find you today to ask for your help in identifying people! You've met both King Jing and Zhu Xue, so you'll know when we go to Anlu!"
When Xu Wei parted ways with him, he had promised to visit Shanyin if he needed to reform again in the future. Seeing Zhu Mo's outwardly calm demeanor, but a genuine worry in his brows, no longer as carefree as before, he immediately smiled and said,
"Zi Xuan, everyone, after coming into this world, will have an unresolved knot. Heh heh, you've encountered yours this time..."
There was something he had wanted to say for a long time but didn't know how to express it. He stood up and paced a few steps, then suddenly smiled and said,
"Zi Xuan, some things have their origins. They don't just appear on you for no reason... If you had absolutely no connection to royalty, how would you have gotten entangled in these matters? Heh heh, have you ever considered that?"
This?
Damn it~~
This is talking nonsense!
Zhu Mo was immediately stunned, but upon second thought, this person was very wise, and his words seemed to have some truth to them? Could his background really be an issue?
It should be known,
Although he was a transmigator, he arrived too early, only at the age of five. His memories only recovered after he entered the system. His childhood memories were no different from others, and there were indeed many gaps in his memory. He only remembered that something had indeed happened, and the very early scenes were indeed from a wealthy family...
After thinking for a while,
He suddenly remembered something and blurted out,
"My master, Daoist Puqing, might know something, but I've been so busy with this and that these past two years that I haven't seen him! Moreover, in the Daoist sect, unlike the secular world, even as master and disciple, one truly doesn't know where the other has gone to wander!"
Xu Wei stared at him for a moment and said,
"Zi Xuan, you can't find Daoist Puqing, but others might not necessarily fail to find him... Think about it, whether it's Prince Yu or Yan Shifan, why wouldn't they look for him? I think they've likely found him already!"
A hint of worry appeared on his brows, and he said slowly,
"If they didn't already have a trump card, how could they be serious about you? Especially Prince Yu, if you weren't truly connected to royalty, how could he have tried to kill you? Zi Xuan, don't you think this makes sense?"
Hiss~~
Hoo~~
Zhu Mo was immediately awestruck—
These words were simply too goddamn sensible!
