Cangyu listened carefully and pondered.

"If the royal secret that Yin Jie mentioned is this legend, then what does it have to do with Beibohou Mansion?"

Qiao Nan came in and handed Qian You a package.

Qian You took out a piece of black iron in the shape of a lotus petal, which was shiny black all over, and handed it to Qi Luobai.

"Look, is this the thing?"

"Yes, this is what my father showed me. It is one of the pieces of the lotus pattern, and Nanqi is the other piece."

"This piece was obtained from the secret room of the Song Mansion. Could it be the piece from Dong Cang?"

Qiao Nan asked in confusion.

"No, it definitely doesn't belong to Dongcang. The piece from Dongcang must still be in the hands of Emperor Dongcang."

Cangyu said affirmatively.

Although he had no right to know about this matter in either of his past lives, he was certain that Emperor Dong Cang's character made him no less obsessed with the treasures of the previous dynasty than anyone else.

"I guess that this lotus key token belongs to Bei Yan. It was this key token that bought the lives of eighty-eight people in the Dongbohou Mansion."

Qian You thought calmly, feeling a chill in his heart.

"Being able to make Emperor Dong Cang give up the three cities he had already obtained in exchange for the two countries to stop the war, and handing over the head of the general on the front line, in addition to making him feel vaguely uneasy about his achievements surpassing his master, there must be a more significant exchange of interests.

I have never understood why, although the Emperor Cang Hantian of Dongcang is narrow-minded and jealous of talented people, he is not so foolish and cruel that he would use the kingdom that has been conquered by millions of soldiers in exchange for unwarranted benefits. There must be greater interests at stake here.

If Bei Yan used one of his own key cards to promise him the treasure that Bei Yan deserved, I believe that with his greed, he would agree and cooperate. "

Qian You's guess was undoubtedly the most consistent with the logic at the time.

Otherwise, even if Cang Hantian was afraid of the Dongbo Marquisate, he would not be so anxious to give up his military power over a toast when Baili Xian and his son were still helping him expand his territory.

When the situation in Dongcang was so favorable, he hurriedly recalled the generals on the front line. Within a few months, he threw the founding heroes into prison on trumped-up charges. Without a trial for three days, he massacred the entire mansion. He ignored the instability of the government in the early days of the founding of the country, suppressed the panic-stricken speculation of the people, treated the Dongbohou Mansion case as a secret, and did not allow anyone to discuss or talk about it. There was no doubt that he was also afraid and uneasy in his heart.

If there were no greater interests involved, he would not necessarily have such a decisive attitude.

The cup in Baili Ming's hand exploded, causing ripples in people's cold hearts in the quiet room.

"But why did this key appear in the Song Mansion?"

Qiao Nan was puzzled and asked the question that everyone was guessing.

"It should be Song Ren'an who did something. He might have used some kind of trick to deal with Emperor Dong Cang and kept the real key token."

Qiao Mu guessed.

"Why would he, a prime minister, leave this thing behind?"

Qiao Nan was puzzled.

"He did it for Prince Ning. This is a very important bargaining chip he left for Prince Ning."

Qian You spoke in a cold tone.

"If Prince Ning ascends the throne as he wishes, he will have two key cards in his hand, and he will be eligible to share half of the treasure. If something goes wrong and he cannot ascend the throne, this key card will give Prince Ning the strength to compete with the emperor. Song Ren'an can be said to have made a long-term plan for this."

Cangyu continued coldly.

"So, the person who was able to exchange a Beiyan key token for a deal was definitely not just Shi Hai, the Marquis of Zhenguo. The Beiyan royal family must have participated in the deal."

Qiao Mu frowned, feeling quite complicated.

"Such a major matter can only be decided by the royal family. The Marquis of Zhenguo is nothing more than an executor. This should be a deal reached between the two emperors, and the target is the Marquis of Dongbo Mansion."

Baili Ming wailed in his heart.

His father and brother worked hard for Dongcang, but the people behind the scenes actually made a naked deal with them. How pitiful.

"Is Emperor Beiyan willing to give up his share of the treasure?"

Although Qi Luobai didn't know the details of their conversation, he felt that the matter was of great importance, but he was also confused, so he asked.

“For Bei Yan, they occupy the location of the underground treasure house. If they really collect the keys to open the door of the treasure house and find the royal bloodline, they can still use the advantages of being a landlord to threaten other countries and may not be unable to share the benefits.

What's more, sixteen years ago, more than ten years had passed since the previous dynasty, and there was no news of the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty. There was almost no hope of meeting the conditions for opening the dynasty.

Rather than exchanging immediate vested interests, killing the generals who threaten Beiyan and regaining the lost territory, these vested interests are more important to them.

It is not without benefits for Emperor Dong Cang.

With the help of the Beiyan people, he killed the general who had fought for him to conquer the world, and completely solved his problem of having a tiger sleeping beside his bed. Once the truth was discovered, he could also put the blame on the Beiyan people.

As for the treasure, if there is a chance to find the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty, the treasure he expects to get will be more profitable than the three cities, so it is not a loss. "

Qian You analyzed calmly, and a greater hatred for Emperor Dong Cang arose in his heart.

What a sinister person he is! He is so inhumane that he shot such a vicious poisonous arrow in the back of his comrade who swore to conquer the world together with him.

"Their two countries' targets are both Beibohou Mansion. One is wary of their father and brother's ability to fight on the front line, and the other suspects that they hold military power and may have rebellious intentions. Both want to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Baili Ming said in a deep voice, his tone hoarse and weak.

Being feared by the enemy is an honor for a general, but being feared by the lord of the land for which you have shed your blood and defended is so sad and lamentable!

"At present, the Dongbohou Mansion case involves two countries. It is more difficult than we imagined before. Many things need to be considered carefully."

Qian You regained his calm tone and brought everyone back from their depression.

Qi Luobai also looked at the woman with a firm and cold look in her eyes.

She was able to sort out a clear logic from the complicated clues so quickly, and quickly adjusted her own entanglement in it. From the perspective of an outsider, she made arrangements objectively and calmly, which made him admire her very much.

Cangyu looked at the woman who had regained her composure in front of him, and he admired her even more.

She can really adjust her emotions at all times and know what she is doing now and what she will do in the future.

Is this what she meant by the difference between revenge and responsibility?

Her conversation with him last night made him suddenly enlightened.

Revenge is no longer his obsession, but his experience, his growth test, and his responsibility.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he felt more calm than ever before.

This is the first time since my rebirth that I feel that my three souls and seven spirits have all returned to their places and I feel at ease.

"We will first establish a foothold in Dongcang. Now that the thread is clear and the layout is complete, we can lead Yun Wanqing to find the secret room and let Prince Shen and Prince Ning take action first. We will be the ones holding the chess pieces and prepare to overturn the case for the Dongbohou Mansion.

After luring the snake out of its hole, we will confirm Beiyan’s level of involvement.

If our guess is correct, then we must not leave behind any of the enemies of the Dongbohou Mansion, no matter where they are.

Those who commit the most serious crimes must be punished, no matter how far away they are, and blood debts must be paid with blood."

Qian You used calm language and extremely arrogant words, which made everyone present extremely convinced.

Little did people know that this analysis and deployment laid the foundation for the future prosperity.
