Chapter 168 The Prince and the Ambush
That morning, after eleven o'clock.
Qin Mo received a call from Li Mou, asking him to go to Li's Manor immediately.
His tone on the phone was very dignified and extremely serious. It was obvious that something big had happened, and it was a big thing that couldn't be said on the phone.
Regarding this, Qin Mo didn't hesitate at all, and walked straight out of the house, bursting out at a terrifying speed, and arrived at Li's castle in the blink of an eye.
He saw Li Mou in the study. As soon as the two sat down, Li Mou pushed over a document in his hand. The look in his eyes was far more dignified than Qin Mo imagined.
At this time, it was less than half an hour after he handed the sketch of the burly man to Li Mou.
The folder contained the investigation results of Li Shi of Qingyang.
Li Mou's speed is not to say that he was unhappy, but in fact, he had already recognized the identity of the other party when he just received the portrait, and he just wanted to confirm it later.
After all, this matter is too big to draw conclusions lightly.
What if they look alike?
Or someone pretending to give such false clues on purpose?
Everything is possible, Li Mou must come up with a 100% sure answer, otherwise the Great Qin Empire will cause a new round of huge turmoil.
Just because the person Qin Mo drew is too special and his status is too high.
Just thinking of this, Li Mou couldn't help but frowned again, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
Qin Mo raised his eyelids to look at him one more time, and couldn't help feeling curious in his heart. It was the first time he saw Li Mou put on such a dignified posture.
Afterwards, he opened the folder directly and looked down.
What came into view were several color photos. The people in the photos were all drawn by him, with multiple scenes and different angles.
Qin Mo glanced roughly, and then began to look at the text introduction next to the photo.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, just look at it...
He was also really startled, his brows were slightly frowned, his pupils flickered, and there was a strange expression deep in his eyes.
"Wu Kang, Prince Kang, the younger brother of the current emperor of the Great Qin Empire, the two have half fathers..."
A series of names were thrown on it, which looked so dazzling.
The body that died at the bottom of the pit turned out to be a prince of Da Qin, the younger brother of Emperor Qin!
How shocking is this?
Prince is a more powerful name than the Duke of the state. At that time, a Duke of Li Mou was attacked, which caused an uproar. Now that the prince is dead, what kind of shock will this cause?
It's no wonder that Li Mou made such a gesture, Qin Mo said he could understand it.
He glanced back and forth a few times, and remembered Wukang's information one by one in his heart, then closed the folder, looked up at Li Mou who was opposite the desk, and asked slowly:
"Are you sure about this?"
Hearing this, Li Mou nodded slowly.
"It has been checked with a secret line. It is true that Prince Kang is not in the restricted area of the royal family today, but no one has seen him go out, and no one knows where he went."
After saying this, there is no need to answer the previous question.
Qin Mo is 100% sure that the corpse...
is Wukang!
At this moment, his eyes flickered, and his super brain was running rapidly, quickly integrating and summarizing the collected information.
Wu Kang's identity was beyond Qin Mo's expectations.
You know, his previous speculation was that the unidentified spiritual awakened person was actually a member of the royal family, an old monster they kept in the palace.
But does the royal family need to parasitize the royal family?
Where does this benefit them?
There is no benefit at all, and the logic does not make sense at all in terms of stakes.
But if it wasn't the royal family, which side would it be?
What does that spiritual awakener want?
Qin Mo is unknown.
There was a completely different paradox between the information he had known before and now, which made him a little uncertain for a while.
After a short thought, Qin Mo continued to ask:
"This Prince Wukang, how is his relationship with the royal family?"
"The relationship behind the scenes is unclear, but on the surface, Prince Kang is a loyal member of the royal family."
Li Mou said in a deep voice, the moment he heard this sentence, he knew what Qin Mo wanted to ask, so he continued:
"Prince Kang is only thirty-five years old this year. He is in the prime of his career. He has a very high degree of genetic development. He was promoted to Heavenly King quietly the year before last. He just didn't say anything about it to the outside world, but Li's secret file clearly shows that This is documented.
His Majesty is ten years older than him, and his realm is only S rank. It seems that Prince Kang should sit on that noble chair. Many people in the empire think this way.
In their eyes, Prince Kang is also the direct blood of the royal family, and there are many supporters among the royal family. As long as he gives an order and plots for a few more years, the position of emperor should be his.
Besides, he became a Heavenly King at the age of thirty-three, and his own talent can be regarded as among the top ranks. He is very likely to become a Great Heavenly King at the age of fifty.
The revival of the Great Qin royal family may be realized in his hands. "
The royal family of this generation is the weakest generation of royal family in history.
As early as more than ten years ago, such rumors spread throughout Daqin, and everyone in high positions knew about it.
And the reality is indeed the case, the rumors are not groundless.
Qin Mo knew this. Just listening to the above words, it is obvious that Prince Kang and the royal family should be on opposite sides.
However, what Li Mou said next was quite the opposite.
"People all have the heart to help the dragon, and they are eager to be the minister of the dragon and reach the sky in one step, but Prince Kang doesn't care about it, and he doesn't have the slightest thought.
He has a very good relationship with the brothers of His Majesty today. Before he was canonized as a prince, he often entered the palace. After becoming a prince, it is reasonable to say that he should be conferred on his own territory.
But His Majesty cared for him very much, allowing him to stay in the imperial capital and be a carefree and idle prince.
As the so-called side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
Prince Kang's staying in the imperial capital is enough to show his loyalty to the royal family, to be precise, his loyalty to His Majesty. "
After the words fell to the ground, Qin Mo's brows couldn't help but wrinkled three points.
To be honest, he didn't expect such an answer.
Prince Kang actually has an excellent relationship with Emperor Qin?
Then is it true that he has a good relationship, or...
How is the relationship between the spiritual awakened person and Emperor Qin?
It's hard to tell whether Prince Kang is still that Prince Kang.
When was he parasitized?
If it was a long time ago, why did you keep entering the palace to see Emperor Qin?
Could it be that…
The real candidate for the spiritual awakened person who wants to parasitize is Qin Huang? !
Prince Kang is just a springboard for him.
Hiss!
Qin Mo couldn't help but gasped.
The emperor is not the emperor, so is the Great Qin still the Great Qin?
Qin Mo's face became serious.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that the water in this imperial capital is deeper than I imagined."
"No problem."
Li Mou smiled slightly, and said calmly: "At this moment, the muddier the water, the better. No matter who Prince Kang is, the royal family will always fall into short-term chaos.
This is a good opportunity for us. "
"You mean..." Qin Mo frowned.
The smile on the corner of Li Mou's mouth became more and more intense. He stood up, walked to a corner of the study with his hands behind his back, looked down at the chessboard in front of him, and said softly:
"Qin Mo, the sky in Daqin will change sooner or later. The troubled times have come. When we are in the troubled times, we are like sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat.
Sometimes, you can't fight if you don't want to.
In the past few days, the Yannan family, the Changping Liu family, and the Far East Lin family have taken action one after another, constantly placing their own people in various important positions, which is to prepare for troubled times.
Your status as the director of the Logistics Bureau is also one of Li's important plans. "
Li Mou didn't hide anything, he just told the whole story.
Today's Great Qin is like a chess game in front of you. Both sides of the game are constantly making moves, trying to strengthen their own strength and weaken the opponent's power until they are completely strangled.
Then, the more chaotic the imperial capital, the better.
Hearing this, Qin Mo was not angry. He knew what Li Shi meant from the very beginning, but it was not as direct as it is now.
The dead Prince Kang was right, Li Shi really wanted to rebel.
To be precise, all five families want to rebel.
The master is weak and the minister is strong, even if it is only placed in a small family of a hundred people, it will cause a lot of competition, let alone the huge Qin Empire.
The temptation of boundless power is more terrifying than the devil.
But Qin Mo still doesn't care about these.
It doesn't matter who rebels or who becomes the emperor.
But whoever wants to kill him, who wants to replace him, who wants to destroy his life, then he will naturally fight back.
and…
is a merciless counterattack!
Qin Mo's eyes flickered a few times, then he chatted with Li Mou for a few more words, then got up and left without staying.
He did not fly back this time, but chose to walk back to the imperial capital from the manor.
Walking on the quiet asphalt road, facing the scorching sun, Qin Mo put his hands in his pockets and looked calm.
Of course, his heart is not peaceful, and he is still thinking at this moment.
"Prince Kang is a diehard loyalist to the royal family, so if the person with the spiritual department is from the royal family, there is no need to parasitize him again, unless... Prince Kang has a different heart at the beginning, so it makes sense.
Perhaps it was the previous logic, the real purpose of the psychic was to parasitize Emperor Qin, so he would use Prince Kang as a springboard.
However, what reason does he have to parasitize Xia Zu? "
Qin Mo suddenly paused, his eyes lit up, and his thoughts became much clearer.
The second logic chain is not absolutely true, but the first conjecture is dead logic!
That spiritual department is the royal family!
It is actually very simple to prove this point. You only need to find Prince Kang’s former absolute confidant, and you will know after careful interrogation.
Of course, Qin Mo must leave this matter to Mrs. Li.
Wouldn’t you be a fool if you don’t use free and efficient labor?
Thinking of this, Qin Mo shook his head and restrained his thoughts temporarily.
He didn't call right away, and was going to let Li's side know when they sent all the detailed life information of Prince Kang, Deng Xujie, and Shang Lichang in the evening.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Whether it is the identity investigation of the spiritual department or its own strength, it is constantly advancing.
Never stop for a step, never stop for a day.
Especially strength, the speed of growth can only be described in terms of exaggeration and terror.
Qin Mo's mouth couldn't help but a faint smile appeared, which gradually became more intense.
In this way, time flies by.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Baiyun District, Guanghong Street.
Nine figures appeared here quietly, but they each hid their figures and were not exposed to the streetlights.
These people came scattered, and approached slowly towards an old house in the middle of the street from all directions.
Obviously, they have a strong purpose.
After several people reached their preset positions, they all stopped and their breathing gradually slowed down, like a pack of wolves about to hunt.
At this time, at the corner at the end of the street, there was an unusual shadow.
The shadows seem to be darker in tone, like…
There is something hidden inside.
"Boss, how long do we have to wait? If the kid doesn't come back overnight, why don't we wait all night? According to me, there's no need to make such an effort, just rush over and kill him, and the mission is completed , let's go straight back to Yannan County."
A slightly frivolous voice came from the shadows, but there was no sign of him at all.
And after his voice fell to the ground, the man he called the boss reprimanded in a deep voice:
"Third brother, you can keep your mouth shut if you don't want to talk. It is an order from the elders to set up an ambush here. Qin Mo must be killed on the spot. There must be no mistakes.
With the talent shown by Qin Mo, do you think Li Shi of Qingyang is a bunch of idiots? Could it be that they are so stupid that they don't arrange a follow-up? It can't be said that tonight will be a hard battle.
If it's because of you that you broke a major event, you don't need to be named Fang from now on. "
"Hey, don't, I didn't do anything." The third child seemed anxious, and hurriedly said angrily.
For people like them, blood is extremely important. If the surname is not Fang, it means that they are no longer from the Yannan clan.
Even if he is a heavenly king with a very high status, it is difficult for him to bear such a price.
But it was just like this, that just reflected the Yannan clan's determination to kill Qin Mo.
They sneaked into the nine people of the imperial capital this time. There was one heavenly king of the fourth rank, three heavenly kings of the third rank, and five heavenly kings of the second rank.
If these nine people were lost in the imperial capital, the Fang family would be hurt, and their vitality would be severely damaged.
Qin Mo's talent really made Fang feel intimidated, so they planned this attack and killing so recklessly.
Even, in order to prevent the Qingyang Li family from also arranging a huge backhand, the nine heavenly kings put down their bodies and hid in the shadows, becoming sneak attackers.
According to Fang's investigation information, Qin Mo went out to eat barbecue with Li Tiangang an hour and a half ago, and will be back in about ten minutes.
When that time comes, they will attack together and kill Qin Mo in the blink of an eye!
Immediately afterwards, he ran away on the spot, never lingering.
This operation focuses on surprise and speed.
No matter how you look at it, Qin Mo seems to be doomed tonight.
However, the eldest of the nine didn't smile, instead his brows became tighter.
Ever since he came to the ambush site, he had a very bad premonition.
