Xu Di pieced together these complex and convoluted events bit by bit from various clues. When he received the news, he began to study Aunt Zhu's grandfather. He felt that as a descendant of the previous dynasty's royal family, they wouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. What if a member of the Zhu family was taken away and raised elsewhere from birth? What if the strategist was also a descendant of the Zhu family? Then this matter could be explained.
Xu Di used the people given to him by the Grand Madam to investigate these matters; he didn't use the people given by the Emperor. Xu Di also didn't want to report these matters to Emperor Liang Cheng. In order to find out the truth about the Zhu family, Xu Di's people even went to the deep mountains and forests, asking around in small, almost deserted mountain villages. Xu Di now has a thought: perhaps this person who is using the name of the former Crown Prince is not actually after the former Crown Prince, but after the former imperial family?
There are too many people involved, and the issues are too complicated. The culprit has not been caught, and many things are based on Xu Di's guesses, which require very solid evidence to prove.
Since the previous dynasty's royal family had been involved, Xu Di dared not act rashly. After returning from the capital, he would go through these matters in his mind every night. Based on the few words he exchanged with the person he had captured in Penglai, Xu Di felt that his biggest opponent was most likely the strategist he had met in the Great Yan army camp.
If things really turn out the way I think, many things I couldn't understand before will become clear. Most importantly, I'll finally be able to find my opponent from where I can't see them and have a real showdown.
Even when it was time to harvest the wheat, the Great Yan launched another attack, which still failed. Meanwhile, in Luzhou, from Xu Di to Zheng Boyuan, the pressure of the impending battle was palpable. Xu Di made thorough preparations along the river, not only building defensive structures but also manufacturing many lightweight weapons.
Looking at his increasingly silent brother-in-law, Zheng Boyuan sometimes really didn't know what his brother-in-law was thinking, but he couldn't stop admiring him. When he saw the weapons that Xu Di took out, Zheng Boyuan's admiration was evident.
Some of these weapons were designed with Xu Bai's help. They are small and lightweight, yet extremely lethal. Placed on a cliff, they would truly be a formidable weapon that could hold off ten thousand men.
