Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 345: Believe in Brother?

When Sang Mo saw the two of them hugging each other without saying anything, he quickly waved and took the two maids out.

Li Junhao then said, "Although that is what I said, I always feel that that woman is the root of trouble."

"Think about it, even with her statement, she still managed to make Third Brother care about her so much. It's obvious that not everyone can do that."

When Gu Xunwei saw the worry in his eyes, she felt warm in her heart. As the crown prince of a country, Li Junhao actually cared about her. She was so lucky.

"Your Highness, I have asked Nighthawk to keep an eye on her at all times. No more accidents will happen. Your Highness, don't worry."

"In that case, then fine." Li Junhao had no choice but to nod, "Now let's talk about the title we mentioned last time."

Gu Xunwei just called me "Your Highness", which reminded me of this matter.

After hearing this, Gu Xunwei's lips curved slightly and she smiled and said, "Your Highness is in Xiangyang and has a lot of things to do. I didn't expect you to bother to think about such things."

"Yes, that's necessary. You always call me Your Highness, Your Highness, and it makes me uncomfortable. There should be a name that belongs only to the two of us."

Li Junhao pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Gu Xunwei's words, eased the slightly awkward atmosphere, and then pulled her to sit at the table.

In a questioning tone, he said, "I like Xue Zhongchun Xin from Wang Yu Lou the most. How about calling me Brother Xin?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Xunwei to speak, his own face turned red first.

He probably also felt that this name was a little ambiguous.

Gu Xunwei pursed her lips and chuckled, and finally saw Li Junhao reveal a hint of shyness, which made him seem more down-to-earth.

"Okay, then from now on, I will call Your Highness Brother Xin. Wei'er thinks it's a good idea." Gu Xunwei nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Li Junhao's face turned even redder. He reached out and held Gu Xunwei's hand, then said, "I was really scared about this incident. Fortunately, you are more alert. Let's never separate from now on, okay?"

What he meant was that no matter where he went in the future, he would take Gu Xunwei with him.

However, he quickly thought of his current situation and felt that it might be more dangerous for Gu Xunwei to be with him, so he had to add, "Well, wait until I finish dealing with things here."

Gu Xunwei seemed to have guessed his thoughts and continued to nod obediently.

Being held by Li Junhao's warm hand like this, she felt extremely at peace in her heart.

Before she could ask in detail, Li Junhao had already taken the initiative to talk about his trip to Xiangyang City for business.

They have personally seen the bodies of several people in Wang Wenbin's family and the place where the accident occurred. Their final conclusion is the same as that given by the coroner.

They killed each other and there was no trace of anyone else in the room.

Because the scene was extremely tragic and blood was splattered everywhere, after confirming these things, Li Junze immediately thought of the magic drug.

Sure enough, trace amounts of drug residue were found in the dinner they had that night.

After figuring out these things, he immediately became alert. Not only did he ask everyone around him to pay attention, he even asked Sang Mo to find a way to send a message to everyone he could contact.

However, at this moment, they seemed to have discovered that someone was secretly intercepting the carrier pigeons, so they immediately captured those people.

After a round of interrogation, they quickly confessed that they were sent by Liu Feiyu, the commander of Xiangyang City.

So they took the opportunity to capture Liu Feiyu and his deputy general as well.

This is also the reason why Gu Xunwei did not receive Li Junhao’s carrier pigeon a few days ago.

"Have you asked the doctor to check those drugs? Are there really drugs that can cause relatives to kill each other?"

Gu Xunwei was horrified after hearing this. She realized that she knew too little and there could be such a vicious person.

"Well, it's full of hallucinogenic ingredients. If a person consumes too much, they will find that everyone around them has turned into strange monsters and will unconsciously attack them."

Li Junhao explained, "So, they dared to do this because they thought we would not be able to find any trace of them at the scene, and they thought that this was a perfect operation."

"But why would they want to attack the King's City? What is their purpose?"

Gu Xunwei asked when she didn't understand. Finding out these things was Li Junhao's main task in supervising this matter in Xiangyang City.

"I didn't get any useful information from interrogating Liu Feiyu. It was only when I returned to Beijing and reported the matter to my father that I understood the possible reason."

"My term as the director of Wangcheng has expired. I will be promoted soon and may leave Xiangyang City soon. Three candidates for the next mayor of Xiangyang City have already been reported to my father."

"That Liu Feiyu was prominently on the list, and there was also a name that I was very familiar with - Sun Xingzhi."

That’s right, it’s Sun Xingzhi, the man who won the third place in the imperial examination and is now helping Li Junze.

Gu Xunwei’s eyes widened instantly. That’s right, in the previous life, the person who took over the position of Mayor of Xiangyang City was an official named Sun.

However, she did not inquire into the matter too much at that time, so she did not know the name of the official surnamed Sun. She thought it was Sun Xingzhi.

"Did they brutally murder the city lord's family just for this?"

Gu Xunwei was still surprised. She had been protected too well since she was a child and had never been exposed to even those dirty methods in the backyard, let alone these extremely cruel practices?

"After City Lord Wang and his men die, I will lose a great general, and they will be able to stuff their own people into my camp. This is their goal."

After saying this, Li Junhao rubbed his fingers on the back of Gu Xunwei's hand twice, and then said with a bit of disappointment,

"Weier, this is also the reason why I don't want to go on. Since I was a child, I have always been surrounded by things like this. There are even more cruel things than these. I am really worried that if I continue to go on, I will become cruel too."

Li Junhao was not surprised to see Gu Xunwei's reaction. Most people would find it incredible to hear this.

Seeing him like this, especially the disappointment in his eyes, Gu Xunwei couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. She reached out and held Li Junhao's hand, and said softly,

"Rights are a good thing. Some people try their best but still can't get them, while those who get them don't want to lose them no matter what. These things... just think about it and you can accept them."
