Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 366 The Culprit Revealed
This time, the disdain and impatience on Kong Zhen's face disappeared instantly, and an imperceptible depth flashed in his bright eyes.
But Xu Zun saw all this depth.
"Master Xu, your words are really incredible to me," Kong Zhen's pronunciation also changed, becoming clear and rhythmic, no different from the Central Plains dialect, "I said that Tianlong Inn once helped me ascend the throne, in exchange, I have to promise not to interfere with them!
"As for your claim that I planned to attack the Great Xuan envoys, that is nonsense," Kong Zhen said, "Everyone knows that the Great Xuan navy is invincible. Even if I mobilize all the troops in the country and join forces with some so-called pirates, it is just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
“Besides, even if I really want to do that, why should I do it in the waters of our Banshee Country? Isn’t this just asking for trouble?
"And the most important point," Kong Zhen added, "Attacking the Great Xuan envoys is equivalent to launching an attack on Great Xuan. We will be destroyed! If I really have the ambition to attack the Central Plains, I shouldn't do something like digging my own grave, right?"
Wow, Xu Zun secretly sighed in his heart, Her Majesty the Queen speaks the Central Plains dialect so well!
"That's wrong," Xu Zun smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I haven't finished my story yet! What you said is absolutely true. With such a huge disparity in strength, no one would have thought that it was your Banshee Country that did it.
“Afterwards, you can also blame the accident on a demon dragon that doesn’t exist at all, because if it weren’t for the demon dragon, no one would be able to attack the Great Xuan Navy, right?
"However, people have overlooked two points," Xu Zun held up a finger, "First, you have already mastered the use of lemon toxins, and you can use lemon toxins to create illusions!
"Using lemon toxin to attack the Great Xuan Envoy can ensure that nothing goes wrong..."
When Xu Zun mentioned "椤蒙", he stared at Kong Zhen more attentively, trying to determine something through the changes in Kong Zhen's expression.
But what was unexpected was that Kong Zhen did not show any special expression on his face, as if he had been mentally prepared.
Oh... I understand. Xu Zun thought again, if Luo Meng had nothing to do with Kong Zhen, then she should have shown a look of surprise on her face.
The fact that it is so calm now just proves that my guess is correct.
"Master Xu," Kong Zhen asked in a puzzled tone when he saw Xu Zun suddenly stop talking, "Does the almond you are talking about have anything to do with the almonds in the Almond Country?"
"I have inquired about it before," Xu Zun said, "The Meng Kingdom was forced to move to other islands because of the toxic erosion of the plain, and the island they occupied is your Banshee Kingdom.
"You didn't start a war, is it because you reached some kind of agreement among yourselves? In short," Xu Zun said, "according to my speculation, you not only mastered the use of the lemon toxin, but also used special means to mutate it and turn it into a deadly toxin!"
Perhaps it was because these words were too new, Kong Zhen's face showed that impatient expression again.
"I didn't expect that Lord Xu has such a rich imagination!" Kong Zhen snorted coldly, "Since you take it for granted, then continue to make up stories. What's your second point? What is your second point?"
"There is another most important reason why you want to attack the Great Xuan Mission," Xu Zun said, "that is, you have found a perfect partner. Only this person can help you realize your Spring and Autumn Dream. Only this person can make you determined to attack the Great Xuan Mission!"
In an instant, Kong Zhen felt as if he was on a roller coaster. When he heard Xu Zun's words, the expressions on his face suddenly froze.
Xu Zun didn't need to observe carefully, everyone present could see that Xu Zun had hit the nail on the head!
"Your Majesty," Xu Zun said, "If my guess is correct, this person is the real culprit of the attack on the Great Xuan Mission, right?"
Hearing this, Kong Zhen swallowed unconsciously, but her frozen expression was relaxing. It was obvious that she wanted to continue to argue.
However, Xu Zun's next words made her completely lose her ability to resist!
"Your Majesty," Xu Zun looked at Kong Zhen kindly and said in a resounding voice, "Let our Crown Prince Daxuan come out!"
Wow...
In an instant, it was no longer Kong Zhen's expression that was frozen, but the entire air of Changle Palace.
Everyone felt their hair stand on end and their backs felt cold. The atmosphere was extremely solemn and one could even hear everyone's heavy breathing.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed extremely slowly. Kong Zhen opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out because of his frozen expression.
"Queen," Xu Zun said, breaking the silence, "This is why I risked my life to return. Please let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come out to see me! I have something to say to him!"
"..." Kong Zhen paused for a few seconds again, then recovered from his shock and said, "Master Xu, it seems that there is no room for maneuver?
"Do you know that your words will lead to all of you being buried here, and you will never be able to return?"
oh……
Zhao Yu and the others were very surprised. Kong Zhen's words clearly showed that Xu Zun had guessed it right! The mastermind behind the attack on the diplomatic corps was their crown prince - Li Xun!!!
Hehehe…
Xu Zun was also mentally prepared. After he announced the answer, Kong Zhen no longer had any need to quibble.
Because, once Xu Zun suspected the prince, the Banshee Kingdom would be doomed to be destroyed, so they would never let Xu Zun leave the Banshee Kingdom no matter what.
"I know," Xu Zun said, "It's very likely that we won't be able to go back, but that doesn't mean there's no room for maneuver. So, let me meet him!"
"This..." Kong Zhen was embarrassed, but his eyes unconsciously glanced behind the dragon throne in Changle Palace.
oh?
Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were quick-eyed and turned around to look. Zhao Yu had already raised the Nine-Wheel Soul-Turning Sword in front of him.
As a result, at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the screen wall behind the dragon throne, and then a person walked out of the crack.
This person was wearing a navy blue robe, holding a green dustpan in his hand, wearing ten-direction boots, a pure yang scarf on his head, and two strands of hair floating between his temples.
This man is young, with a fair complexion. He cannot be described as handsome, but he exudes an otherworldly aristocratic air.
In addition, he has a black mole at the lower corner of his lip!
Oh.
Everyone present was like Xu Zun. Having seen the portrait countless times, they could almost recognize at a glance that the young man dressed as a little Taoist priest was none other than the Crown Prince of Daxuan—Li Xun!!!
Really... is it really him!?
Even though Xu Zun was mentally prepared, he was still deeply surprised when he saw Li Xun appear in front of him so suddenly.
So, after signaling with their eyes to Zhao Yu and the others, everyone bowed deeply to the prince and shouted:
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Of course, Huo Anu did not move, and her dagger did not dare to leave Kong Zhen for a moment.
“Hahaha,” the young Taoist laughed bitterly a few times and said with his head down, “What kind of prince am I? Everyone, forget it!”
After saying that, he walked directly in front of Xu Zun and asked, "What a great judge, you are indeed worthy of your reputation. Today I have opened my eyes!"
Xu Zun quickly saluted, but secretly glanced at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was so smart that he immediately understood Xu Zun's intention and quickly took the Nine-Wheeled Soul-Turning Knife to the secret passage where the prince appeared to check...
"However, I am also really confused," Crown Prince Li Xun found a seat and sat down, looking up at Xu Zun and asked, "How did you suspect me?"
