Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 319: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 47

snort!

After hearing the same words over and over again, Gu Qian became completely impatient.

"I'll ask you one last time, who sent you here? If you don't tell me, the person in front will be your fate!" Gu Qian said as he released purple flames to surround them.

"We really don't know!"

"These are all orders received by Lord Zhou Quan, and we are all following his orders!"

……

"I didn't want to use this method originally, but you forced me to do it!"

Gu Qian cast a spell to freeze them all, and then used the soul-searching technique to search the memories in their minds one by one.

"So that's it..."

After completing all the investigations, Gu Qian finally knew who the mastermind behind this was, and why these people were unwilling to reveal who sent them.

Cheng Xiuran is the second son of the current emperor and also the crown prince. His biological mother is the late Queen Li.

It is said that the current emperor and Queen Li were childhood sweethearts and had a very deep relationship, so much so that after Queen Li passed away due to illness, in order to preserve her honor, the emperor did not enthrone another queen.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only child of the Emperor and Queen Li. He has been favored since childhood and was named Crown Prince when he was still a minor. As a result, he developed an arrogant, domineering and self-centered character.

From these people's memories, she actually discovered a lot about Cheng Shangyu.

The mother of the fifth prince Cheng Shangyu, Concubine Lin, was born in the Lin family of Kyoto. Her grandfather was a veteran of three dynasties, and her father was also the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Such a background meant that she was destined to have no choice in her own marriage.

After being taken into the palace as a concubine by the emperor, she immediately became a thorn in the eyes of Queen Li and the crown prince.

This targeting reached its peak after she became pregnant and successfully gave birth to Cheng Shangyu, avoiding their plots.

Fortunately, Concubine Lin was no pushover. She dodged their various attacks and plots time and time again, and successfully survived until Queen Li passed away.

However, in the year when Queen Li died, Crown Prince Cheng Xiuran, in collaboration with the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, came to the conclusion that the Fifth Prince had collided with the Phoenix Star, and successfully persuaded the Emperor to send Cheng Shangyu to the famous Buddhist temple in Cheng State for training, despite the opposition of Concubine Lin and the Lin family.

It was on the way that Cheng Shangyu was assassinated by the prince and ended up living in the mountains behind the guest village, which led to the following series of events.

It was because the news of this assassination reached the emperor's ears that he realized that there was something wrong and intended to recall Cheng Shangyu.

However, Cheng Shangyu himself refused. The reason he gave was that he could not ignore filial piety and must devote himself to practice for three years, praying for the queen and mourning for her, so that he could feel at ease.

After hearing this, the emperor gave up the idea of ​​bringing him back.

It's a good thing to be filial and feel guilty towards the queen. It's only three years, and you can still cultivate your body and mind.

Besides, his mother's family is the Lin family in Kyoto, so it would be better for him to go out and avoid the limelight.

Thinking of this, the emperor sent another group of his own soldiers to protect him.

Of course, it is protection, but also surveillance.

This move also told him that the throne had nothing to do with him. As long as he behaved himself, he could be a leisurely prince for the rest of his life and enjoy wealth and glory.

Although Concubine Lin was disappointed with the emperor's actions, it undoubtedly provided more security for her son outside. Naturally, she did not say anything, but the last bit of affection for the emperor in her heart disappeared completely.

In this way, Cheng Shangyu stayed alone outside for three years.

When the Crown Prince saw that he had driven out the capital city of Kyoto the prince who posed the greatest threat to him, and that the prince was protected by his father's men, he did not do anything unnecessary to arouse the Emperor's displeasure.

After all, the assassination had already caused the emperor's dissatisfaction. If it were to happen again, it would be too arrogant and stupid.

However, he did not expect that after Cheng Shangyu left, an uncle named Cheng Xiaoze, who was about the same age as him, came.

In the conspiracy jointly set up by the Imperial Observatory, apart from the Lin family, the one with the loudest opposition was Cheng Xiaoze.

After successfully driving Cheng Shangyu out of Kyoto, Cheng Xiaoze was inexplicably supported by the emperor and held an important position in the court. He even snatched away the positions and achievements that Cheng Xiuran wanted many times.

In this way, his dissatisfaction with Cheng Xiaoze grew day by day.

Cheng Shangyu had been away for three years, and Cheng Xiuran and Cheng Xiaoze had been fighting openly and secretly for three years. Of course, to be precise, it was basically Cheng Xiuran who took the initiative to provoke.

Most of the time, Cheng Xiaoze would only defend himself and would not take the initiative to attack.

This situation continued until Cheng Shangyu's return.

The one-on-one situation turned into a one-on-two situation.

The struggle between the two sides continues to this day.

Gu Qian looked at the memories in these people's minds and the methods Cheng Xiuran used to deal with Cheng Xiaoze and Cheng Shangyu, and was amazed.

In her opinion, Cheng Xiaoze and Cheng Shangyu had probably already joined forces during those three years!

How else to explain how these two formed an alliance so quickly and so tacitly?

But this old emperor is really partial!

No matter what means Cheng Xiu Ran used to deal with his younger brother and other son, as long as the situation did not really get out of hand, he would remain indifferent.

Perhaps it was because of his attitude that Cheng Xiaoze and Cheng Shangyu did not dare to really take action against Cheng Xiuran. No matter how serious the incident was, it was reduced to a small matter.

They were probably all waiting for an opportunity, a chance to strike Cheng Xiuran with one decisive blow and leave him with no chance of recovery.

"laugh!"

Gu Qian sneered, "You don't have a chance, I'll give you one!"

After sorting out her memory, she looked coldly at the several idiot-looking men in black in front of her.

"I originally thought that after reading your memories, I would let you go. It is better to live than to die. But after reading your memories, I realized that you actually killed so many innocent people. If that is the case, I cannot let you go!"

These men in black are basically all private soldiers raised by the prince. They have done many evil things such as murder and robbery over the years.

As for why these people were unwilling to reveal the identity of the prince, the reason was that the prince had a villa in the far suburbs of Kyoto, where all the relatives of the private soldiers were raised, including their parents, wives and children.

These men in black seemed to be begging him to let them go, but in fact they knew that it would be difficult for them to survive today. Even if they managed to get out alive, they would not be able to give an explanation to the prince.

When that time comes, not only will you die, but your loved ones will die too.

Therefore, they all kept silent about Cheng Xiuran and tacitly lied that they knew nothing about it, hoping to deceive Gu Qian and get a glimmer of hope for their loved ones.

However, he didn't expect that Gu Qian possessed some extraordinary means and still found out the whole story.

Gu Qian took one last look at them, then burned them all to ashes.

Let us use their souls to commemorate those innocent people who died!

After doing everything, Gu Qian picked up the unconscious Gu Xi and came out of the field.
