Chapter 844

Li Chuyuan stood in front of the familiar Chu palace and almost shed tears.

More than two years later, he finally returned to his hometown, which he missed day and night. However, when he saw Cao Zhengtong coming out of King Chu's house, the joy of returning home turned into resentment.

Cao Zhengtong came out with the king of Chu. Now he looks at Li Chuyuan in a strange way.

"How dare you escape from Qingzhou and return to Lin'an? Don't you know the consequences?"

Seeing Li Chuyuan, the king of Chu not only didn't hiss, but also scolded him severely, which made Li Chuyuan's face even worse.

In order not to scare the snake and attract the attention of Cao's family, the process of his return to Lin'an is very secret, even the king of Chu did not know.

"Father, this time my son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's son's Li Chuyuan's tone was very indifferent. His father's attitude just now made him very cold.

He even suspected that his father's promise to him was just a hoax. Anyway, he had many children. If he died in Qingzhou, someone would take over the throne of Chu.

"The emperor!" The king of Chu was a little surprised, "why does he want to let him go back to Lin'an?"

Li Chuyuan's heart is getting colder and colder. Now his father is completely interrogating prisoners, and he can't feel the warmth of a father son meeting.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Er Chen is not very clear either. That day, the emperor summoned Er Chen for an audience. He only said that Er Chen didn't need to stay in Qingzhou because he trusted his father very much."

"Nonsense, this Xiao Ming must have bad intentions." The king of Chu paced back and forth impatiently, and his mood became unstable after the northern expedition.

Because Xiao Ming in the north is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, which can be cut down at any time.

"Don't worry, your highness. I think that Xiao Ming's intention to let his son come back is to lure his highness to fight." Cao Zhengtong looks strange, but he only said half, and the other half is not suitable to say now, that is to deal with their Cao family.

It can be said that this is Xiao Ming's plot.

The king of Chu's mood gradually calmed down, and he nodded slightly, "you're right, if he had been cheated by him before, but now the state of Chu needs time, but since Xiao Ming asked Chu Yuan to come back, he must have been wary of the state of Chu."

"All the Cao family's banks in Qingzhou were pulled out overnight, which shows that Xiao Ming has been targeting the Cao family, the state of Chu, his highness. We don't have much time." Cao Zhengtong's right way.

The king of Chu was worried, "if there is a war between the north and the south, it is estimated that the state of Chu has no chance of winning. What should we do?"

Cao Zhengtong's eyes flashed a different color. He encouraged: "Your Highness, for the sake of today's plan, only by opening up civil League training and allowing businessmen to train troops, can we together resist the attack of the north with the strength of the merchant Council."

For a moment, Li Chuyuan's face was as gloomy as water. He said angrily, "father, you must not allow the merchant Council to support the army. Otherwise, the state of Chu will no longer be the state of Chu. At that time, Xiao Ming will not hold hands with the state of Chu."

"Why did you say that? Now the merchant Council and his royal highness of the king of Chu are one, and the common enemy is Xiao Ming. How can the merchant Council do harm to his highness? "Cao Zhengtong looks harmless to people and animals.

The king of Chu frowned, but he also had some doubts. Just as Cao Zhengtong said, now Xiao Ming's army is going south, and now he seems to have no choice.

Because there is still a ray of life to cooperate with the merchant Council, it is inevitable to face it alone.

With a long sigh, he said to Cao Zhengtong, "as long as you can keep the state of Chu, I promise you."

Cao Zhengtong is very glad to hear that. Now he really thanks Xiao Ming, because it is Xiao Ming's threat that makes them get what they want.

Li Chuyuan opened his mouth and said in a hurry, "father, you must be crazy. The Cao family will destroy the foundation of our Li family."

"Shut up, I don't know what you're thinking. Does Xiao Ming's three or two words make you dizzy? Is the king of Wei his own uncle? What happened to him? Do you think he'll let us go? " The king of Chu was suddenly furious and yelled at Li Chuyuan.

Cao Zhengtong can see through Xiao Ming's purpose.

After a pause, he said, "since you've come back, you can be your son. If you dare to disturb the state of Chu, I will never let you go."

Li Chuyuan's face was pale. At this moment, he was finally disheartened to his father.

Chu Guohun didn't care about Li Chuyuan's expression. He said to the bodyguard behind him: "you are responsible for protecting your highness. You must not let him have an accident."

When the bodyguard heard the speech, he immediately went to the back of Li Chuyuan.

Cao Zhengtong smiles triumphantly. The state of Chu has put Li Chuyuan under house arrest in disguise. Now his fear of Xiao Ming has made him lose his eyes, and this is the chance for them to enter the chamber of Commerce.

They have been informed that Xiao Ming will not attack the state of Chu immediately, because attacking the south is no easier than the Northern Expedition barbarians, and it will take him some time to prepare to go south.

After all, the war with the barbarians cost the north a lot.Thinking of this, Cao Zhengtong continued to say to the king of Chu: "Your Highness, the envoys we sent to the grassland and the Japanese nation have brought good news. Yamada Daming of the Japanese nation promised us to deal with Xiao Ming together, especially in the golden tent Khanate. Once Xiao Ming dares to go south, it will move his whole body."

The king of Chu nodded his head with satisfaction, which was the reason why he believed in the Cao family. Now the situation of the state of Chu is developing in a more favorable direction.

While they were talking, a carriage passed on the street outside the palace. A pair of eyes in the gap between the curtains of the carriage were watching the king of Chu and others.

This person is no other than Li San.

In order to ensure the success of the assassination of the king of Chu, he personally came to Lin'an to plan. Now he has found out the surrounding environment of the king of Chu's residence and worked out different plans.

For him, the best opportunity is when the king of Chu is hunting. At this time, he can not only kill the king of Chu, but also evacuate perfectly.

But if the king of Chu cancelled the hunting, they could only do it in Lin'an City, but it would be very difficult for them to retreat completely.

Eyes in Li Chuyuan's body swept eyes, Li San put down the curtain, he was thinking in his heart when to start.

From the situation just now, it seems that the contradiction between the king of Chu and Li Chuyuan has become public. According to the information he got, many powerful families in the state of Chu are also very opposed to the king's reliance on the Cao family.

It can be said that the undercurrent of contradiction has been surging in the state of Chu. If the king of Chu is killed now, those discontented conservative forces will surely fall to Li Chuyuan.

At that time, the internal contradictions of Chu state will be intensified, and this is exactly what they need.
