Chapter 694 Li Cheng’s ambitions are not small

If not, he would not be able to let him go back to the Dali Kingdom with peace of mind.

After all, they can be considered to be related by blood. If it is true that King Yixuan has already gathered his men, and they attack, then it is possible that they can pull the current emperor off the throne.

But he knew that Pei Chuyan would not.

If Pei Chuyan really wanted to avenge his father, he would fight the opponent openly.

At this time, Li Cheng no longer cared about Pei Chuyan's messy thoughts. Pei Chuyan's last words echoed in his mind.

Thinking of the elusive man who was now in his palace, he did feel a little suspicious.

Li Cheng had seen his high level of skills, so he believed in him wholeheartedly. He could help him overthrow the Great Chu State, which was Li Cheng's dream.

He wanted to become the overlord of the world, to become the overlord of the world that surpasses the current Emperor of Great Chu.

He believed that he was no worse than anyone else, and certainly no worse than the elderly Emperor of Great Chu. Since he was able to conquer the Yuefeng Kingdom, he could certainly conquer the Great Chu Kingdom.

During this process, Pei Chuyan kept staring at Li Cheng's face, and naturally saw the ambition on his face.

I didn't expect this person to have no ability but is actually quite courageous.

It seems that this warlock really gave him a lot of reassurance.

But he wanted to know what kind of ability this person had that could make the emperor of a country trust him to such an extent.

After coming out of the palace, the fourth prince's feet were still a little light.

He turned his head and looked at Pei Chuyan. Their eyes met in the air, and then they looked at each other in silence.

After leaving the palace, the driver who was waiting for the Fourth Prince wanted to go forward to pick him up, but the Fourth Prince shook his head.

"You guys follow behind me, I'm going to walk for a while."

He took Pei Chuyan out of the palace and walked out of the imperial city.

Wanlong City was considered the most prosperous city in the entire Dali Kingdom. After walking out of the imperial city and no longer being monitored, the fourth prince whispered, "What do you think?"

"This Li Cheng is probably quite ambitious."

"Because my ability was not up to my ambition, I started to think about other things and took the wrong path."

The Fourth Prince nodded. He naturally had the same idea, but his understanding was not as profound as Pei Chuyan's.

The two continued walking forward, and Pei Chuyan suddenly remembered that the Imperial Concubine also had a house in this Wanlong City!

But he didn't say much.

In the past, the princess and the royal concubine spent a very happy time together here.

At that time, he also traveled around with the princess and the queen. Now thinking back, time has passed very quickly. Now the princess already has her own fiefdom.

Many people in the capital felt sorry for the empress, thinking that now that she had left the palace and was no longer under the emperor's protection, her future would be difficult.

But everyone in Qingyun Palace who was familiar with the Empress was happy.

After all, what the queen has always liked is not power and status. Although she is far away from the capital now, she is the happiest when she is with the princess, and the mother and son are together.

As the two were walking, Pei Chuyan suddenly noticed a strange situation.

There seemed to be some women begging on the roadside.

Yes, some, not just one.

There were more than 10 of them along the way. It was rare to see women begging, especially in such large numbers.

After all, women have a low status, and if they start begging, there is no turning back.

Moreover, when women fall into the state of beggars and join a group of beggars, one can easily imagine what they will go through.

The Fourth Prince was still saying something, but when Pei Chuyan didn't respond for a long time, he turned around and looked at him. He saw that Pei Chuyan was frowning and looking at the roadside, as if he was looking for something.

So there was no interruption, and the two of them continued to move forward quietly until they entered the inn where they lived.

Li Cheng was suspicious by nature, so it was naturally impossible for him to place them in Prince Yixuan's palace.

Moreover, ever since the Fourth Prince and his entourage entered Wanlong City, he had sent people to keep a close eye on Prince Yixuan's Palace. He was afraid that Pei Chuyan would appear in Dali Kingdom quietly.

If he shows up, then all my plans for this period of time will probably be ruined.

After entering the inn, the fourth prince pretended to fiddle with the tea set, then asked softly, "What did you find?"

Pei Chuyan was about to say something, but shook his head again, and called Lin Ji beside him to come out and ask him to investigate the matter.

Lin Ji was a smart man. After receiving his master's instructions, he quickly left the inn.

Naturally, Lin Ji also dressed up in disguise. Pei Chuyan was very cautious about this matter. He knew what kind of person Li Cheng was. Such a cautious person would probably be very sensitive to these things.

If he discovered Lin Ji's whereabouts, he would suspect the Fourth Prince and his entourage.

He was mainly afraid of Li Cheng. In order to kill him completely, he simply destroyed the entire delegation of the Fourth Prince in the Dali Kingdom.

After Lin Ji left, the Fourth Prince came forward and discussed the next itinerary with Pei Chuyan: "According to what my father said, we should stay in the capital of Dali for three days, pretending that nothing happened, and travel around."

"Of course, I also want to ask my uncle out for a walk."

"In the end, we have to pretend that we are visiting relatives. During this period, the Dragon Shadow Guard can also take action."

Pei Chuyan nodded: "Your Majesty's arrangement is very reasonable. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince can send a greeting card to Prince Yixuan's mansion and invite them to come out and play together."

The fourth prince nodded and said nothing more.

Pei Chuyan also left his room and went to his resting place.

Lin Ji moved very quickly, and within two incense sticks he was back.

He looked at Pei Chuyan with eyes full of surprise. He simply couldn't believe what he had just heard on the street.

"These women are all from normal families."

At this point, even the usually cold-hearted secret guard Lin Ji had a flash of sadness on his face: "We found about ten women, and they all had one thing in common, which was that they all had children who were less than a month old."

"They were taken out of their homes while they were recuperating after giving birth. The babies were taken away, and they also had their facial features cut off."

"I checked. Some of them have lost their noses, some have lost their eyes..." Thinking of those people's terrifying faces, Lin Ji still felt a little scared.

The more he listened, the paler Pei Chuyan's face became.

There must be some dirty deal behind this. Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Lin Ji beside him: "Can they still talk?"

Lin Ji has always admired the young Pei Chuyan. He is so sensitive.
