“It’s possible. I asked Uncle Peng about the time when Peng Laosi had his accident. Uncle Peng was in the capital at the time. I also asked about the matter of King Qu. He said that King Qu’s eldest grandson was born that year, but he was weak and sickly. King Qu personally went to the temple to pray for his grandson for half a year. Moreover, all of King Qu’s descendants were weak and sickly, and they were always taking medicine from a young age. He had several sons, but only one of them survived. He also had many grandsons, but none of them were as lively and energetic as other people’s grandsons,” Gu Shouxin explained.
"You mean, when King Qu went to Langge Kingdom, or on his way back from Langge Kingdom, he met Chen in the forest? Then he took Chen as his concubine, helped Chen plot against General Peng Si, and finally got the Peng family, a family of generals, to raise his son?" Cai Xiaolian felt that this matter was a bit fantastical.
“I guess that’s how it is,” Gu Shouxin nodded. “Think about it, after Chen married into Kuncheng, she never left here and never went to the capital. And Prince Qu, as a prince, has never been to this border region. How did Prince Qu know Peng Mu?”
"Now, it's a certainty that Peng Mu betrayed the country. There are so many children in the Peng family. Apart from Peng Mu, look at the other children. Aren't they all loyal to the emperor and the country? Why is it that Peng Mu was raised to be corrupt? Even the youngest, Peng Xiaoba, would tell Renren, 'When I grow up, I want to go to the battlefield with my grandfather, my uncles, and my brothers to kill the enemy and protect the people!' This shows that there is no problem with the Peng family's upbringing."
"Peng Mu used the excuse of unrequited love for Xiao Yu to use Yin Yueli to deal with Xin Xin. This was just an excuse. Xiao Yu lived with him for two years, and he had many opportunities to bring this up with his family. He and Xiao Yu were both of marriageable age."
"It is evident that Peng Mu received education from the Peng family on loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, while also receiving another kind of education. Why was this other kind of education superior to that of the Peng family? Because, in the Peng family, at best you could inherit their family's title, and above you was the emperor of the Great Zhou. But on the other side, it was different. Even if you couldn't destroy the Great Zhou, you could still become the king of Langge. The king of a territory, who doesn't need to obey anyone."
"Therefore, my conclusion is that Chen and Peng Mu knew who King Qu was a long time ago and were being instructed by him to do things. Of course, Chen's brains are definitely not as sharp as Peng Mu's, so Kuncheng was safe before Peng Mu grew up. After Peng Mu grew up, the city defense map was leaked, and I became the magistrate of Kunzhou County. In the end, it was difficult to get the city defense map from the Peng family. So, when Lu Zheng pointed out the leak of the city defense map to the Peng family, and the Peng family successfully traced it back to the magistrate, Peng Mu was definitely involved. Also, before Lu Zheng was reborn, he didn't know about Peng Mu, and he didn't even know that King Langge was King Qu."
Cai Xiaolian: "Didn't Renren say he didn't write it that specifically? He just wanted to show that the male lead could turn the tide. When he got to Kuncheng, he directly reversed the ending, and Langge Kingdom was finished."
Gu Shouxin smiled, holding Cai Xiaolian's fingers one by one, and pondered, "Judging from the news Lu Zheng sent back, Peng Mu definitely did not escape back to Langge Kingdom. He must be in Da Zhou now. Moreover, besides the Chen family, there should be other spies of the King of Qu in the Peng family. Now, we can capture those spies and find a breakthrough from the Chen family."
