Li Rubai frowned slightly when he heard this question, and then he glanced around the dinner table at the accompanying officials.

All the officials also had a confused expression. Qin Yu's question was too sensitive. They didn't understand why Qin Yu dared to ask this question.

If you fail to answer this question and someone reports you, it will be a political incident, which can range from being demoted or fired, to being jailed and beheaded!

But Qin Yu had already asked, and it wouldn't work if Li Rubai didn't answer. Not answering would mean that he was dissatisfied with the current situation but dared not speak out, which was also inappropriate.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Rubai replied: "The late emperor ruled the world with force, and the empire's military fortune was prosperous. However, when the late emperor passed away, many heroes rose up, and powerful enemies surrounded us. We received the emperor's favor, and although we were weak, we managed to save the country and the people." heart of"

Li Rubai said it very cryptically, seemingly to express his loyalty, but in fact, there is a lot of information in just one sentence.

It seems to be praising the former emperor for his martial arts, but in fact it directly attributes the current situation directly to the former emperor.

Because too much emphasis was placed on force, each vassal town was too powerful. The late emperor could still control them while he was alive.

However, after the death of the former emperor, these Jiedushi commanded heavy troops, controlled one side, and monopolized military and political power, forming warlords.

Coupled with its previous foreign policy of aggression and expansion, it has been in a state of war with neighboring countries.

Internal and external troubles have resulted in the current situation.

It is impossible for ordinary people to find a way out in this environment, so they can only choose to rebel

The second half of Li Rubai's sentence also expresses his attitude. I want to save the country and save the people, but I am an imperial official and I have received divine grace, so my position can only be that of the imperial official.

After hearing this, Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction. It was enough to get this answer. As long as Li Rubai didn't have the will to be independent, he could become an ally.

After all, the Prince's Mansion belongs to the government. Qin Xuan is a descendant of the orthodox royal family. Helping her does not violate Li Rubai's position.

Qin Yu had asked the question, and it was Li Rubai's turn to ask, "I wonder why Master Qin asked this question, and what does Master Qin think of it?"

It's okay for you kid to check my bottom. I told you, now it's your turn to reveal my bottom, right?

For a sophisticated person like Li Rubai, he naturally knows that Qin Yu's coming here to establish his power is not as easy to explain as simply expanding the sect's power. He must have some agenda.

Otherwise, just rely on Tai Chi Pavilion. Where in the White Feather Divine Kingdom can't it open a branch? Do you have to travel thousands of miles to this remote place where there is chaos and chaos?

Qin Yu didn't intend to hide it, he just said it openly and openly.

"I have a sister named Qin Xuan."

Li Rubai's brows jumped when he heard the name. He felt that it sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere.

Qin Yu continued: "Qin Xuan is not my parents' biological child, but adopted, but we have a close relationship and can give everything to each other."

Everyone at the table looked puzzled after hearing this. Why did he say this?

However, Qin Yu's next words left everyone stunned.

"In fact, Qin Xuan's biological mother is the daughter of the former crown prince of the empire, Prince Tang, who is now Princess Zetian!"

"And I was adopted as the adopted son by Princess Zetian."

Now everyone at the table understood that Qin Yu was from the Prince's Mansion!

Li Rubai also remembered where he had seen the name Qin Xuan. It was in the letters he exchanged with Yanzhou Jiedushi that the other party mentioned Qin Xuan.

It's just that because Li Rubai was an official guarding the border, he didn't have time to pay attention to the domestic battles, so he didn't take it seriously.

Now that Qin Yu has revealed his identity - the Prince's Palace, his purpose is self-evident - rebellion! Seize the throne!

In fact, it is wrong to use rebellion. After all, the prince's line is the royal family's orthodoxy, and the eight kings are the ones who usurped the throne.

But the Eight Kings have held power for many years, and everyone has become accustomed to it, and slowly accepted the reality that the imperial power fell into their hands.

It's just that for so many years, the eight of them have been fighting among themselves, and they haven't elected a successor. As a result, there is still no orthodox emperor.

Qin Yu continued: "Before I left for Shen'an County that day, at the reception banquet hosted by Mr. Li for me, I once said that there was a secret weapon to complete the mission of my trip to Shen'an County."

"Now it can be revealed, that is to uphold justice and hope!"

As soon as Qin Yu said these words, everyone at the table fell silent. No one dared to show any expression, for fear that others would see what they were thinking.

There was a weird and awkward silence for three minutes. Finally, Li Rubai broke the deadlock first.

"Master Qin really has a profound background and a wide range of connections. Not only Master Wuji is fully assisting you, but he is also the adopted son of Princess Zetian. His achievements in the future will be limitless."

Li Rubai was actually testing Qin Yu's background. If only these two levels were not enough to impress him

Master Wuji is far away in the White Feather Kingdom, and it is impossible to come here in person. Not to mention the Prince's Mansion, he can only act in secret and is not even qualified to confront him head-on.

Qin Yu smiled and said: "Actually, these are not my background. Rong is so rampant. The two characters Mr. Li mentioned are actually seeking something from me."

With a "swish", the eyes of the whole table turned to Qin Yu. Even Li Rubai looked surprised at this moment. May I ask for your help?

Everyone is eager to know what is so special about this young man that makes both the Taiji Pavilion and the Prince's Mansion seek help from him? Or is this just bragging?

Qin Yu thought about it and decided to bluff them, so he talked eloquently: "Actually, I come from the sea area and learned from an ancient sect. The sect's history has been passed down for tens of thousands of years."

He is using the Shenyun Pavilion to support himself, but it is not a complete bragging. After all, Mr. Ning can be regarded as half of his master.

Moreover, Qin Yu also thoughtfully shortened the history of Shenyun Pavilion by several tens of thousands, instead of mentioning one hundred thousand years, for fear of scaring them.

"I established my own forces in the Sea of ​​No Return a few years ago when I went out for training. I believe you all know what happened in Gulan State some time ago. Yes, it was my troops who landed there."

The incident in Gulan Province has long been spread throughout the empire, but they only know that a powerful army has landed there, but there is no clear information about which force it is.

Some said it was from the Prince's Palace, some said it was from the White Feather Kingdom, and some said it was from the maritime forces.

Everyone thought the first two statements were more reliable before, but they didn't expect that after listening to Qin Yu's words today, they realized that that army was really a maritime force!

Everyone present knows the importance of the Huyan family in Gulanzhou. It is self-evident that the strength of this army can put Huyanlie in such a mess!

Li Rubai suppressed his shock. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear Qin Yu say it for himself. He asked, "So what did Qin Zhenren do this time?"

Qin Yu nodded and said: "I believe everyone has guessed that I came to Liaoji Province to form my own forces on the spot, support the great cause of the Prince's Palace, and help Princess Zetian and my sister Qin Xuan win their rights. The throne!”

As soon as these words came out, although everyone was prepared, they were still deeply shocked. Some people even lost their chopsticks and dropped them on the table.

The banquet fell into deathly silence again. No one even dared to breathe. The scene was suffocating.
