Chapter 662 Heart to Heart
Bai Chen remained calm and stood with his sword across his body.
"The King of Wei will be here soon. I came here first to check along the road, fearing that someone would ambush the King of Wei."
Wu Sansi glared at him and roared:
"Bai Chen, don't think that I will let you two go just because you pull my cousin out."
"This Li Cunxi, I must kill him today!"
"If you dare to stop me, I don't mind killing you too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen's eyes fixed.
His figure flashed, and he actually abandoned Li Cunxi and went straight to a guard, stretching out his hand and cutting the guard's tendons.
The guard cried out in pain, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and he took several steps back.
Bai Chen did not stop and did the same thing to the guards, actually cutting the tendons of all the guards' hands so that they could not even hold their swords.
After doing all this, Bai Chen returned to Li Cunxi, holding the sword in one hand and keeping silent.
"Be bold, be bold!"
Wu Sansi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had never seen such a person before. Just because of a disagreement, he actually disabled all his guards.
With such skills, if he was a little more vicious, he could have ignored Wu Chengsi's fate and killed him here directly, and then escaped.
At this moment, a beautifully shaped, long and gorgeous carriage came from the same road that Li Cunxi came from. The driver was a middle-aged man with a resolute face.
There was a fine horse on each side of the carriage, with a drunken middle-aged man with a long beard and a beautiful woman sitting astride the horses.
"This is a drunkard, Hongyan."
Li Cunxi tilted his head and looked over, recognizing the identities of the two masters.
The drunkard was a master who had been famous in the martial arts world for more than ten years. It was said that he killed nearly a hundred bandits with his sword, and left behind the legend of "killing one person every ten steps and leaving no trace in a thousand miles."
Hong Yan is an old friend. I met this hidden weapon master when I went to Jiangzhang County for the second time.
The carriage came galloping and stopped five meters away. Wu Chengsi lifted the curtain, glanced around the environment, and smiled with great satisfaction.
"As long as nothing happens, Cunxi, come on, I'll give you a ride."
Li Cunxi immediately got on the carriage with a smile and sat next to Wu Chengsi.
Wu Chengsi looked at Wu Sansi, who looked unhappy, and said:
"Think twice. You and I are cousins. I advise you not to be too reckless."
"Cunxi is already the King of Qin. Don't have any unreasonable thoughts. Otherwise, not only His Majesty, but even I will not let you go."
How could Wu Sansi not understand that his cousin Wu Chengsi had long been a different kind of person from him.
All he wanted was to become emperor, but his cousin Wu Chengsi had long since stopped wanting to be emperor.
Wu Chengsi, this guy, forgot what he was going to do in the beginning halfway through. Now he just wants to save his life!
"Cousin, don't think that your relationship with Li Cunxi is enough to save your life."
Wu Sansi gritted his teeth and pointed at Wu Chengsi.
"You were a thousand times more powerful than me when you harmed the descendants of the Li family!"
"In terms of sin, you are far more guilty than me!"
"Even if there's a chance that I could be spared, you won't be able to survive the criticism from the heirs of the Li family!"
"Cousin, aren't you afraid that this kid will be rude to you in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chengsi revealed a mysterious smile, reached out to lower the curtain, and the carriage began to move slowly forward.
His voice also came from the carriage:
"I have a daughter who is not yet of marriageable age. I can marry her to Cunxi in the future. Even if she cannot be his principal wife, she can be his concubine."
"It's you who should think about what to do next."
Then Wu Chengsi laughed sarcastically.
The laughter came in waves, making Wu Sansi feel uncomfortable all over.
Inside the carriage, Li Cunxi took the wine handed to him by Wu Chengsi and put it into his mouth.
He used to seem a little reserved in front of Wu Chengsi, but now he is completely relaxed.
"I went to court today, and there wasn't much to do. Sansi might want to report you, so you should be prepared when the time comes."
"If all else fails, just give him a good scolding and make him lose face."
"Your Majesty means that you still need him as a stepping stone for you. It is definitely impossible to get rid of him now. What's more, Sansi is still your Majesty's scapegoat. It is not appropriate for him to die early."
"So, you should be prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, the day when Sansi feels that he can no longer suppress you, he will rebel."
Wu Chengsi took a sip of tea and analyzed the situation in a calm tone.
Of course, he couldn't tell Li Cunxi that according to Wu Zetian's previous thinking, even he was one of Wu Zetian's scapegoats.
The two generals who brought disaster to the Li family, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, will both be scapegoats. Now that Wu Chengsi has cleared himself, naturally only Wu Sansi is left.
Wu Sansi himself had been bewitched by Wu Zetian for too long and had always regarded himself as the future emperor, so he was probably possessed by the devil now.
If that day really comes, Wu Sansi will not sit still and wait for death, he will definitely rebel.
I just don’t know where to resist.
"Is it really possible that he would rebel?" Li Cunxi stroked his chin.
"You mean to say he doesn't have the guts?"
Wu Chengsi glanced at Li Cunxi.
"As the saying goes, even a clay figure can still have some temper, let alone a jackal?"
"Sansi has been bullying for so many years. Suddenly one day, you, the person he once bullied, stood up and stepped on him. He will definitely find a way to fight back."
Li Cunxi probably understood, nodded, and said, "Then where do you think he might rebel?"
Wu Chengsi shook his head, lifted the curtain and looked at the outside world.
He thought about it for a long time last night, but in the end he still couldn't guess where Wu Sansi would start his rebellion.
Logically speaking, the troops controlled by Wu Sansi and his cronies were very scattered, so it would be very difficult for them to rebel against Wu Zetian.
But he just felt that one day Wu Sansi would rebel when he could no longer bear it.
Moreover, Wu Sansi would definitely rebel in a place that no one else could imagine.
"Then we should probably take precautions early."
Li Cunxi also looked outside.
"I won't give him a chance to beat me. If he wants to beat me, he can only rebel."
Outside the window, the palace wall of Taichu Palace had appeared, and a carriage soon appeared outside the palace gate.
"Let's go. Just have confidence."
Just as Wu Chengsi was about to get out, he turned back and looked at Li Cunxi.
"Let me be honest with you, Cunxi. My life and property are all in your hands."
"It's only a matter of time before the crown prince is deposed. You will be the best choice for the new crown prince without exception."
"If you succeed, no matter how miserable my end is, I will still be a rich man in Bingzhou. If you fail, I will just die with you."
"You and I are on the same page. No one can shake my heart, and I will not turn to support anyone."
