The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 511 Only One Prince

Chapter 511 Only One Prince

However, even though Li Jing didn't think that such actions would benefit the princes of the southern vassal states, he still didn't think that Bai Jingyi would use those princes as an excuse to prevaricate him.

Since Bai Jingyi said so, then he must have some evidence, or captured those assassins as witnesses.

In his understanding, Bai Jingyi is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, so he has no doubts about Bai Jingyi's conclusion.

But if Li Er asks, he will definitely need more clues...

Li Jing thought over and over again, and finally decided to ask: "Then... the king of Beiliang, you said that the people who planned the assassination this time are related to the princes of the southern vassal states. Do you have any evidence?"

Bai Jingyi glanced at Li Jing indifferently, and Li Jing was terrified by Bai Jingyi's eyes.

Although Li Jing knew that he was like a spy sent by Li Er, trying to talk to Bai Jingyi.But he had no intention of making Bai Jingyi unhappy at all.

Bai Jingyi didn't answer Li Jing's question, Li Jing was sweating aside, afraid that his behavior would offend Bai Jingyi.

Bai Jingyi is annoyed by him now, so he doesn't want to answer these questions.

However, Bai Jingyi was actually just teasing his curiosity on purpose.

Seeing Li Jing's cautious appearance, Bai Jingyi didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

After all, Li Jing was inquiring about the news for Li Er, so it's not surprising that he felt a little guilty. In addition to the attack just now in the study, Li Jing will definitely not be presumptuous in front of him in a short time.

This is only good for his plan, not half bad.

After a long time, when Li Jing was thinking about whether he should leave quickly, Bai Jingyi said, "It's not the princes of the southern vassal states who did this."

"Huh?" Li Jing was taken aback. Didn't Bai Jingyi say just now that the instigator of this incident was a person from the southern vassal state? !
Why do you now say that this matter was not done by the princes of the southern vassal state?

Could it be that there is something on his own that he hasn't figured out?
Or did he misunderstand what Bai Jingyi meant?
Li Anran left early because she was completely uninterested in the topic of Bai Jingyi and Li Jing.

So Li Jing asked many things and there was no taboo, and he didn't have to worry about what he said that Li Anran could not hear.

Therefore, Li Jing did not hesitate too much, and immediately asked: "But just now you said that these assassins are related to the southern vassal state, they are people from the southern vassal state..."

"Being related to the southern vassal state doesn't mean it's the princes who did it. Is there any benefit to them?" Bai Jingyi asked calmly.

What he wants to do now is to guide Li Jing and make Li Jing believe in his words.

And for a person to repeatedly affirm the authenticity of the information he has obtained in his heart, the only way to make this information slowly deduced by himself is not to get it from others.

Bai Jingyi was not short of time to make Li Jing fall into the pit, so that he could persuade Li Er by himself.

Li Jing didn't think that doing such a rebellious thing would be of any benefit to those princes.

So when Bai Jingyi said this, Li Jing quickly seemed to know something: "You mean, although these assassins and the people who made the assassins do such things are from the southern vassal state, they are not related to Doesn't it matter to those princes?"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he felt that he was only one step away from the truth.

Soon he will be able to complete Li Er's order and go to Li Er's business.

Hearing this, Bai Jingyi shook his head, and said calmly, "Yes and no."

"Yes or no?"

Li Jing was a little confused.

Bai Jingyi said that these assassins were related to the southern vassal states, but they were not the hands of those princes, so they had nothing to do with them?

But now, Bai Jingyi said that there was a problem with his conclusion, where did the problem come from, and what clues did he miss?
Li Jing thought hard, but he didn't have any good ideas, and he didn't have a clue, so he could only mutter softly, saying:
"You said it was done by people from the southern vassal state, but it has nothing to do with the princes of the southern vassal state. Could it be someone related to them?"

Bai Jingyi didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curved a bit.

Li Jing didn't have any hope for his guess, but he had been observing Bai Jingyi's expression, and seeing Bai Jingyi's expression changed slightly, he knew that he must be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and he was in the right place.

"Could it be...my guess just now was right?"

Li Jing looked at Bai Jingyi, Bai Jingyi nodded slightly, and Li Jing was immediately elated.

He thought again about his conclusions.

This assassin is from the southern vassal state, and has some relationship with the princes, and is the associate of those princes.

Since it is related to the princes, it is not difficult to explain that that person was able to mobilize so many assassins and make such a big deal.

But in the southern vassal state, the only people who can find so many desperate assassins at once are the powerful princes.

Only those princes have the ability to find so many capable assassins and support them in sneaking into Chang'an City.

But Bai Jingyi also said that this matter was not done by those princes...

Li Jing racked his brains for a while.

Bai Jingyi only said that the princes did not do this, but he did not say that all the princes did not participate in this matter.

So it is very possible that the princes who planned this matter were only a few of them, and not all princes were related to this matter.

If the person who did such a sensational thing was a certain, or a few southern vassal states, this would make sense!

It has something to do with the princes who committed crimes, and it has nothing to do with those princes who didn't know. Bai Jingyi's "yes and no" originally meant this!
Li Jing quickly deduced the answer Bai Jingyi wanted, and he also believed in it: "So the King of Beiliang means that the instigator of this incident is the princes of certain southern vassal states?"

"Yes." Bai Jingyi took a sip of tea before continuing, "But to be precise, it's not several princes, but one."

"A prince?" Li Jing wondered, which prince has such power and dares to do such a rebellious thing?

This matter should not be planned and executed perfectly by a prince!

Li Jing thought for a long time but couldn't think of which prince could do this. It is worth guessing the most powerful prince in his impression: "Could it be... Zhou Qing?"
