C1047 1046 Missing King Carefree

"We are happy that you are the crown prince of Xinyi. If we are not happy, do you think that it is your turn to be the crown prince of Xinyi?"

Yan Xiao squinted at him, and every word he spoke caused Long Di to tremble with fear.

"If you speak honestly, although you will not be able to keep your position as the crown prince, your life can still be kept. If you are dishonest …"

Yan Xiao did not continue, but his expression revealed everything.

Long Di's body trembled. He knew very well that what Yan Xiao said was the truth.

The decision of the New Yi Kingdom's crown prince was not in the hands of her father, but in the imperial court.

"This King did not come all the way here to waste time with you. I only gave you a single incense stick of time."

Long Di looked at Yan Xiao, his expression filled with disbelief, letting Long Di know that he was no longer in a good position. He was definitely unable to keep his position as the crown prince anymore, and at the moment, he could only let Yan Xiao be satisfied.

"Alright, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything."

Yan Xiao's face revealed a hint of satisfaction as he waved his hand for the secret guard to descend while he brought Long Di into the study room of the crown prince's mansion.

"What I said before wasn't a lie. I really only found out the intention of King Carefree making me dig a waterway after the gates were opened. The purpose was to deceive the imperial government into giving out food for disaster relief."

After Long Di finished, he looked at Yan Xiao's face, as if he was afraid that Yan Xiao would not believe him.

After hearing Long Di's words, Yan Xiao secretly calculated in his heart. He looked at Long Di and asked: "Do you know where that army is hidden?"

"I don't know about that. How could he possibly tell me such an important matter?"

Long Di shook his head, looking a little angry. It was the King Carefree who had taken the initiative to look for him, saying that they would cooperate.

At that time, he thought that the New Yi Country would sooner or later be his. If he cancelled the tribute, it would be a great thing for the New Yi Country. After some consideration, he agreed.

He didn't expect that the benefits he didn't enjoy would be discovered so quickly.

Yan Xiao looked at Long Di's expression, and at the same time, thought to himself: Although the disaster in Yizhou is not considered big, because there are a lot of people in the Yizhou, this time, there was a total of two hundred thousand silver, and there was a hundred thousand burden of food. This number is not small.

Second Brother had risked the danger of being discovered in order to use this method to rob the disaster food supply to make up for the lack of military salary. This meant that he was indeed short of military pay.

Second Brother was in a hurry to get this batch of food. Presumably, he was already prepared to make a big move, and he did not have enough food and military pay, so he could only rely on this time's disaster to snatch the silver.

Although the King Carefree Residence could not be considered to be the richest family in the world, as a prince, there was still a lot of money and resources, and naturally, the shop was not small. With such a large amount of income, Second Brother would still need to take the risk to snatch the relief food from Second Brother.

Yan Xiao frowned, looking at Long Di who was trembling in fear, he asked: "You really don't know?"

"I really don't know!"

Long Di panicked, "He has already sent his personal guards to kill me, why would I hide these things for him?"

After saying his piece, Long Di paused before continuing, "However, he comes to New Yi City to see me once a month. Sometimes, he would just casually come to chat with me, and wouldn't be able to chat with me about anything."

Long Di actually didn't know that much, but he did know that King Carefree was trying to rebel. As a result, King Carefree knew that Yan Xiao had already found out about Long Di's identity so she naturally wanted to kill him to keep his mouth shut.

"Do I have to come see you every month? "You don't talk about anything?"

Yan Xiao let out a cold laugh, and in the next second, the cold dagger was already at Long Di's neck. "King Carefree is a busy man, do you think that I can find the time to chat with you every month? Do you take me for a fool? "

Long Di was so frightened by Yan Xiao that he broke out in cold sweat. He immediately went soft on his knees and said: "Rui … Prince Rui, believe me, I really don't know anything. I'm also curious as to why he comes to chat with me every month, but it's true that I don't know anything at all. "

He paused for a moment and continued, "I had thought that he would have a purpose in coming to New Yi Kingdom and meeting me as a cover."

Because of Long Di's words, the pupils of Yan Xiao's eyes became deeper, as if he was thinking about it.

After a while, he put away his dagger, stood up and walked out of the study room.

"Your Highness."

There were hidden guards outside the door, and when they saw him come out, they immediately walked up to him.

"Return to the capital."

"Yes."

This time, he had deliberately avoided the spies in the capital and snuck into New Yi City. He had long predicted that the moment he found out about Long Di, the Yizhou would definitely make a move, thus he had sent people to ambush Long Di.

Second Brother... As expected, it did not disappoint him.

The corner of Yan Xiao's mouth hooked into a mocking sneer.

A person who claimed that he wasn't interested in the imperial court was actually aiming for the throne.

After leaving New Yi Nation, he rushed to the capital without stopping and did not stay in Yizhou.

Now that second brother already knew that he had been exposed, he would definitely gamble everything he had. If he found out that he had left the Yizhou, it would be impossible for him to gain anything.

After returning to the capital, Luo Xiong hurried over to see him with a serious expression.

"Pavilion Master, King Carefree has already left the King Carefree Palace."

"Where did he go?"

Yan Xiao asked with a gloomy face. However, looking at Luo Xiong's serious expression, he could guess that the matter was not going smoothly.

As expected, he heard Luo Xiong say: "The people we sent to warn the King Carefree Palace were all killed by his people while following the King Carefree out of the city. Where has the King Carefree gone to now, we … We didn't find it. "

Saying that, Luo Xiong lowered his head. Those people that died at the hands of the King Carefree were all his brothers.

Never would he have thought that King Carefree would have so many experts.

Regarding this, Yan Xiao was not surprised at all.

The person who went to kill Long Di had used five of his secret guards and expended a great amount of effort to capture him. This meant that the people around Second Brother were not simple people.

He had been bringing his second sister-in-law around for so many years, and had also brought Yao'er with him. No one would have thought that he would have any other intentions. But now, after so many years of travelling, it seemed that he had managed to recruit many capable people.

"What about the rest of the people from the King Carefree Palace? And the families of the King Carefree? "

"They were sent out of the city by the King Carefree Palace a long time ago. It's just that at that time, this subordinate and the rest were only staring at the King Carefree and did not take those people seriously."

After saying that, Luo Xiong lowered his head in shame. It was because he did not put those few people in his heart that he had casually sent a few people to follow them.
