Chapter 486 Everyone is happy
Yu Zhou smiled indifferently.
"My purpose of coming here has been achieved. I just wanted to prove that you are not dead."
"As for who sent me here, I don't think it's important. What's important is that you, the heir of the Li family, are working hard for the Wu family. You are so devoted that you forget about life and death, and you don't care about the future counterattack of the Li family at all."
"Duke Wu, are you really not afraid of death?"
"Don't forget that if Li Cunxi ascends the throne in the future and settles accounts with his subordinates one by one, you will die without a burial place."
Li Xiaoyi seemed to understand something. He sat down, his nails almost embedded into his palms.
"I finally understand why there are still people willing to join Wu Sansi and give him advice when he is about to be defeated."
"You have never been a true counselor. You were sent by Li Cunxi."
"Your purpose of coming here is not what you said. You came to find me. Tell me, how did Li Cunxi know that I was still alive?"
Yu Zhou stood up, walked to the door, and looked outside again and again.
After making sure that no one was approaching and Wu Sansi was not eavesdropping outside, he swaggered up to Li Xiaoyi.
He bent over with a smirk on his face.
"Duke Wu is really a noble man who forgets things easily. When you led the army to attack Xu Jingye with all your might, there were quite a few generals in the army."
"Do you remember the name Yuan Qi?"
Li Xiaoyi's expression became extremely ferocious, and he gritted his teeth. He wished he could fly to Yangzhou immediately and take off Yuan Qi's head.
"I only regret that Xu Jingye's army didn't kill Yuan Qi back then, but now they have found out where I am."
Li Xiaoyi subconsciously thought that it was the grandson of Prince Ying Yuanqi who was holding a grudge against him and had been keeping an eye on his whereabouts, and told Li Cunxi his whereabouts.
As for why Li Cunxi knew Yuan Qi, Li Xiaoyi had never thought about it, nor did he want to think about it anymore.
"The master in my family learned some secrets from Yuan Qi."
"When we were fighting against Xu Jingye, you used Yuan Qi and his soldiers as the Death Squad and attacked the camp of Duke of Ying, Xu Jingye, killing only one out of ten of Yuan Qi's soldiers."
"Duke Wu, there are many people who hate you."
There was a look of scorn on Yu Zhou's face. It was unexpected that a small man like him could face a duke like this. This was something he had never dared to think about before.
"You're a bit offended."
Li Xiaoyi suddenly became calm, so calm that it seemed as if he was not the one facing these difficulties.
He admitted that he did all these things, but there was one thing he definitely did not do. If the Li clan wanted to kill him and bury him with him in the future, he could also find the prince back.
If there is anyone in the world who knows the location of Prince Zhanghuai, it is only him, Li Xiaoyi.
"Prince Ying Yuanqi's wolfish ambitions are obvious. I let him die for the sake of our Great Zhou."
"As for you, I'm not afraid. Even if you are Li Cunxi's man, I won't report you. Of course, I don't think you are Li Cunxi's man."
"After staying in the Prince Liang's mansion for so many years, I already know what kind of temper this junior of mine has. He is not the kind of person who is willing to let his subordinates take risks."
"I guess you are either from the Iron Hand Group or the Snake Spirit. Only these two groups could possibly know where I am."
"I destroyed most of the Iron Hand Group back then, so it's very likely that they're looking for revenge on me. If you don't want to kill me, it means you're not a member of the Iron Hand Group. So..."
Li Xiaoyi suddenly pursed his lips.
A smug laugh came out of his mouth, and he lightly pointed at Yu Zhou, who was horrified but turned expressionless in an instant.
"You are the remnant of the Snake Spirit, Xiao Qingfang's man. You and Li Cunxi have a blood feud. You sneaked in here because you really want to help Wu Sansi deal with Li Cunxi."
Yu Zhou quickly shook his head and denied it.
"No, no, I didn't."
"I am indeed Li Cunxi's man, so please don't think of me in other ways, okay?"
"Besides, why can't I be another heir of the Li family, or a man of the King of Wei?"
Seeing Yu Zhou like this, Li Xiaoyi was already 100% sure.
This Yuzhou, whose origins are unknown, must be a rebel of Sheling. He came to the Prince Liang's Mansion just to oppose Li Cunxi.
Thinking about what Yu Zhou had said to Wu Sansi in the past few days regarding Li Cunxi, Li Xiaoyi became more certain of his judgment.
"I won't reveal your identity, but I want to tell you that you are definitely not someone who belongs to other big shots."
"First of all, the Li clan will not let you come here. They will let you go to Li Cunxi to assist Li Cunxi. After all, Li Cunxi is the last hope of the Li family."
"Secondly, the Wu family would not be so stupid as to push a smart person to serve as an undercover agent under the enemy at a critical moment."
"Third, your majesty would not plant a blanket in the Liang Palace, especially a spy as smart as you."
"Finally, what I want to say is that you are a fearless lobbyist, but you overlooked some details, which led to your identity being discovered by me."
"Also, the Snake Spirit is about to be destroyed. It is indeed a good choice for you to join the Liang King's army, but it is not the best choice. Li Cunxi is tolerant and you should follow him."
Li Xiaoyi stated his views very seriously, and at the same time expressed regret for Zhou entering the Prince of Liang's Mansion.
Prince of Liang Wu Sansi himself was a big fool. If he hadn't relied on the fact that Wu Zetian was his aunt, he would have been tortured to death by Li's old ministers over the years.
Wu Sansi treated the opinions these people sometimes put forward as nonsense and didn't even listen to them.
Therefore, coming to work as a legal advisor under Wu Sansi was a very unwise choice.
If he had any other choice, he would definitely escape from Prince Liang's Mansion and seek refuge with others.
"I think you're wrong, Duke Wu."
Yuzhou smiled.
"Prince Liang is a very good man, even though he will soon face the shock of failure."
"I still don't care about my future. I still devote myself to King Liang."
"Let the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, let the sky collapse and the earth break."
"Sir, you have no choice, and I won't have a choice either."
"Becoming the advisor to His Royal Highness Prince Liang is my best choice."
Li Xiaoyi smiled and shook his head.
"Sooner or later, you will regret your choice today, unless your real purpose is not what you said."
Yu Zhou bowed to Li Xiaoyi, picked up a book and started flipping through it silently.
He had gotten everything he wanted in the previous exchange. He was sure that Prince Zhang Huai, who was rumored to have died in Bazhou and later said to have died in Yangzhou, must still be alive at this moment.
He achieved two of the three purposes of entering Wu Sansi's mansion at once, which was really a good thing.
