If Jill's matter was arranged by the peacemakers, what was their purpose?
The peacemakers naturally supported the peaceful coexistence of Zhu Lu Country and the five surrounding countries, as well as the Thunderfire Dynasty. Since that was the case, why did they need to collect large amounts of fine iron?
Fine iron was obviously used to make weapons, but if it wasn't for war, why would they need to make so many weapons?
Zhu Lu Country didn't have a lot of soldiers. If it wasn't for war, they would have enough weapons and armor.
Only during war would a large amount of weapons and armor be destroyed and require a large amount of fine iron to support the rear.
Therefore, the peacemakers didn't want Jill to collect fine iron for war, so they must have other purposes!
Leng Shiqi's mind was full of thoughts. He quickly remembered that the Mind-Controlling Voodoo that Li Xuanyang used to control him was brought by Jill!
The Mind-Controlling Voodoo was extremely precious. Even the princes and ministers of Zhu Lu Country might not be able to get their hands on it.
Who could easily take out the Mind-Controlling Voodoo?
Naturally, it would be the Gu God Sect that specialized in Voodoo!
The sect leader of the Gu God Sect was also the State Teacher of Zhu Lu Country. He was one of the higher-ups of the peacemakers!
"I should have thought of it!"
Leng Shiqi also felt that he had overlooked something. When he knew that the sect leader of the Gu God Sect was one of the higher-ups of the peacemakers, he should have guessed it.
However, it wasn't too late now.
Now that Leng Shiqi had learned the truth from Jill, it was time for him to carefully consider another matter.
That is, Jill was caught smuggling fine iron in the West Desolate Province, the Dark Thunder Guards came to investigate, and then the king's sudden death. Is there any connection between these matters?
From the perspective of a conspiracy theory, could this series of events have been premeditated?
To be honest, Jill's method of secretly collecting fine iron in the West Desolate Province wasn't that brilliant.
When Leng Shiqi took over the Dark Thunder Manor in Mist Qi City, he saw that the Du Family was likely smuggling fine iron, but there was no conclusive evidence.
This meant that the Dark Thunder Guards had been watching the Du Family and Profound Yang Sect for a long time!
This was also the reason why the previous supervisor, Sha Yue, died.
Therefore, even if there was no Leng Shiqi, Leng Shiqi and Leng Shiqi might be able to unravel Jill's scheme in the future.
After all, the Dark Thunder Guards were full of elites. As long as they found solid evidence and reported it to their superiors, destroying the Profound Yang Sect would be a piece of cake.
In other words, it was very likely that what Jill had done would still be discovered. After that, the Dark Thunder Guards would also come to the Zhu Road Country to question him.
The king would also die like this!
Thinking of this, Leng Shiqi felt a chill run down his spine!
If what he speculated was true, then the person behind this was truly terrifying!
If what he speculated was true, then there would definitely be major changes waiting for them in the future!
It was actually very simple to prove that his guess was correct.
Leng Shiqi continued to ask while Jill was still under the control of the illusion, "Are you the only one who sneaked into the Western Wilderness to collect iron?"
"No."
Leng Shiqi's eyes narrowed. He already knew the answer.
It seems that not only in the Northern Region of the Western Wilderness, but also in other regions, there were people similar to Jill doing the same thing.
If they stayed in the Western Wilderness for a long time, sooner or later they would be exposed. This also meant that the Dark Thunder Guards would come to the Zhu Road Country sooner or later!
All of this was indeed the same as Leng Shiqi's guess!
But then, his brows deeply furrowed.
Since the peace faction spent so much effort to trick them into coming to the Zhu Road Country, then the king's death was most likely related to the peace faction.
Now what Leng Shiqi was most concerned about was, what was their purpose?!
He faintly felt that they had been deeply involved in a terrible whirlpool!
Just as Leng Shiqi was thinking hard, there was suddenly a big commotion in the inn.
His heart tightened and he hurriedly walked out of the woodshed. Jill's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Leng Shiqi quickly arrived at the courtyard of the post house. He saw several hundred Zhu Lu country's guards had already surrounded the place so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
More than ten people were confronting each other in the courtyard, including Yu Ruifeng and Yuan Cang.
As for the other side, it was Prince Gus and Prince Heli from the war faction.
What surprised him the most was that Guan Feihong was standing right next to Prince Gus!
At this moment, Guan Feihong was covered in injuries and his expression was somewhat stiff. More importantly, Leng Shiqi actually felt a familiar aura from Guan Feihong's body.
Heart Controlling Gu!
Prince Heli and Prince Gus looked similar in appearance. It seemed like they were a pair of brothers. The difference was that Prince Heli was tall and big. Just by standing there, he looked like a ferocious beast.
Prince Heli angrily shouted at Yu Ruifeng, "Yu Ruifeng!
It really was your Thunderfire Dynasty's people who killed the king. Now that the witness is here, let's see how you're going to quibble! "
When Yu Ruifeng saw Leng Shiqi coming over, he immediately transmitted his voice, "What's going on!
How did your people fall into their hands and accuse us of assassinating the king? "
When Leng Shiqi sensed the Heart Controlling Gu in Guan Feihong's body, he knew what was going on. However, he couldn't say it out loud and could only explain,
"Sir, I don't know either. I sent Guan Feihong out to scout this morning, but he didn't return at night.
I didn't expect him to be captured by Zhu Road Country!
But sir, you should be able to see that Guan Feihong's condition isn't right. Perhaps they used some method to control him. "
Yu Ruifeng nodded inwardly. Facing the two princes of Zhu Road Country, he didn't lose out in terms of aura.
He said, "Princes, I respect you as princes of your country, which is why I'm negotiating with you.
What's laughable is that as princes, you can't even see that they're trying to drive a wedge between us. Truly disappointing. "
"What did you say?!" Prince Heli's eyes widened in anger.
At this moment, Prince Gus pulled him back and said calmly, "Sir Yu, we caught this person near the city gate tonight. He wanted to escape the city, but we interrogated him and he told us the truth about your assassination of the king.
Sir Yu, you should give us a suitable answer, right?
Otherwise, even if you're from the Thunderfire Dynasty, we'll still take revenge for His Majesty with our lives! "
At the end, Prince Gus's tone was filled with bloodthirst.
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but feel anxious. He had guessed the truth, but there were too many people here and he couldn't tell Yu Ruifeng.
Moreover, even if he said it, Zhu Road Country's people might not believe him.
On the contrary, they might even use Guan Feihong as one of his people to refute him.
Leng Shiqi narrowed his eyes and forced himself to calm down to find a solution.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. He found a breakthrough!
