Looking at King Lange in the room, Lu Zheng thought of his past life.
In his previous life, he was ordered to lead troops to reinforce Kun City, which was about to be captured by the Lang Kingdom. When the reinforcements arrived, he and Peng Ze resisted the Lang Kingdom together. In the end, they not only reversed the situation, but also led their troops to attack the Lang Kingdom.
The capital of Lange had been destroyed, and the king was nowhere to be found, so he never remembered what the king looked like.
King Lang did not reappear in the following years.
Some say he destroyed the royal city he built himself. It is said that the royal city is different from other cities and was rebuilt by the current King Lang.
Some say he fled to the west of the desert.
Lu Zheng never heard from King Lang again before he died.
Looking at the people in the room, he understood why everyone said that the royal city was different from other cities.
The entire royal city was like a miniature version of the capital, and the Langge Royal Palace was like a miniature version of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. However, the Langge King was actually a prince of the Great Zhou, the Qu King.
Indeed, the person sitting inside was King Qu.
In his previous life, Prince Qu was not discovered as quickly as he is in this life. Therefore, in his previous life, after Lu Zheng returned to the capital with his maternal grandfather, bringing potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, he was highly valued by the emperor and had many dealings with Prince Qu.
He knew some of the King of Qu's habitual actions, and he was certain that the person in the room was the King of Qu.
Previously, the Qu family had an incident where the entire family was executed. The Qu King, who had cultivated a good reputation for decades and was supported by the people, requested to become a monk and never concern himself with worldly affairs again.
The emperor sent people to keep an eye on King Qu in the temple until King Qu died at the end of last year.
The person Lu Zheng left in the capital confirmed that the dead person was Prince Qu. That person even went to the temple to check, and it was indeed Prince Qu who had died.
So how do we deal with the King Qu in the house now?
Lu Zheng suddenly understood. Since someone was impersonating Xin Xin and wanted to kidnap her without anyone knowing, then King Qu could also slip away unnoticed.
It seems that Peng Mu has always been in contact with King Qu, and the person impersonating Xin Xin was also provided by King Qu.
If that's the case, then this matter can be explained.
Lu Zheng didn't believe Yin Yueli's words at all. He didn't believe that Peng Mu hated Xin Xin because he liked Xiao Yu but couldn't have her, and that's why he did all that.
He believed that Peng Mu liked Xiao Yu, and that Peng Mu could not have done it so flawlessly without the backing of Prince Qu.
The fact that the magistrate of Kuncheng colluded with Langge Kingdom before should also be attributed to Peng Mu's efforts. King Qu must have been in contact with Peng Mu from the very beginning.
The Peng family wouldn't suspect their own descendants, especially someone like Peng Mu who spends so much time on medicine.
Lu Zheng suspected that Peng Mu was definitely not as frail as he appeared.
In the previous generation of the Peng family, only two grandchildren survived: Peng Ze and Peng Mu.
It seems that Peng Mu played a significant role in the fact that Langge Kingdom almost conquered Kuncheng in his previous life!
However, Peng Mu will never return to Kuncheng in this life. How will Langge Kingdom steal Kuncheng's defenses?
"Your Majesty, we have truly not found the Gu family's daughter. Our men have searched the Sand God Kingdom and the Cloud Kingdom, but there is no trace of her. The Gu family is still searching. It seems that the Gu family's daughter has hidden herself away!"
At this moment, the conversation inside the room brought Lu Zheng back to his senses.
"Didn't find it." King Lang tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, one tap after another. After a long while, he said, "Well, since it didn't work this time, let's try again. This time it was the Third Miss, let's try the Second Miss or the Fifth Miss next time."
