Chapter 2687 Why can't we unite as one?
Song Zhiwen took the letter with his trembling hands, and the envelope had not even been opened.
It can be seen that Li Busun is so confident.
Or rather, he designed everything that was perfect and controlled the whole situation. Even now, there was no word on this letter, and the words Murong Qiuming and Xue Huaien just said were enough to condemn them.
By this time, this letter was almost useless.
But Song Zhiwen still opened the letter with his trembling hands. In the evasive eyes of Murong Qiuming and Xue Huaien, he unfolded the letter paper and looked at the words on it line by line.
Everyone around them also held their breath.
Even though everyone just now understood who the murderer was and what their purpose was, some people still had a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps, everything is a misunderstanding.
Perhaps, Li Bushang's guess is wrong.
Perhaps, Murong Qiuming and Xue Huaien did not kill the head of the Cheng family at all.
However, when Song Zhiwen slowly raised his head after reading the letter, everyone saw that his eyes were already bloodshot and red, and tears flashed.
Everyone understands it.
Song Zhiwen looked at Murong Qiuming and Xue Huaien. Even if the two of them were stubborn, this letter and Xue Zhen were already evidence in front of them, and they had no way to deny it. When they met Song Zhiwen's gaze, both of them couldn't help but lower their heads.
Song Zhiwen's lips were trembling slightly. He spoke several times but couldn't make any sound.
"You, you"
He choked several times before he spoke the words behind in a hoarse voice, his voice full of pain: "It's really you, it's really you..."
At this time, there is no way to tell the truth.
So Murong Qiuming simply raised his head and said viciously: "That's right, we just don't plan to dedicate the city to Yan Kingdom. We just want to dedicate the White Dragon City to Arislan, the king of Nanli, who is not able to do so?"
“…”
"Anyway, both sides are backers. If you want to rely on Yan Country, why can't we rely on the country?"
“…”
Hearing this sentence, Li Bushu rolled his eyelids.
But he didn't say anything, just looked at them coldly.
Song Zhiwen felt a little chilled in his hands and feet. His hands holding the letter kept trembling, and the letter paper almost shook to the ground. He looked down at the familiar handwriting on it, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "But, why?"
“…”
"Since they are all backers and since they all want to offer the city, why do you have to choose a country?"
“…”
“Why can’t we stand together?”
"Unity-One? Hum!"
Murong Qiuming said coldly: "Those who contacted the Emperor of Yan State have always been the old woman from the Xue family and her son and daughter. Yes, Xue Yun is actually a daughter. She has disguised herself as a man and deceived everyone for so many years. They have always been with the Emperor of Yan State. After the city is revealed, they are the confidants. We are just following the past. What benefits can we gain?"
“…”
"The King of Nanli in Keguo is different."
“…”
"That was what we secretly set up online. Only by offering the city to him can we get the greatest benefit."
“…”
"You don't even think about this, just think about Xiancheng. Are you too naive, right?"
Song Zhiwen's face suddenly turned pale and he couldn't speak for a moment.
Indeed, although his family was doing business, the ancestors of the Song family came from the Central Plains. Even though they had already taken root in Bailong City and got rid of Yan Guo culture, they still had a very longing for Central Plains culture, or attachment, which made him study since childhood. His heart was not so much a businessman as a scholar.
Therefore, he couldn't think of so many benefits, nor did he have so much scruples.
For them, it was already a very good thing to be able to establish a relationship with the increasingly powerful Yan Kingdom, but unexpectedly, Murong Qiuming and the others thought so much.
Song Zhiwen took a deep breath and looked at Xue Huaien again.
"You, the second wife of your Xue family, is also because of this relationship?"
Xue Huaien sneered, and his smile seemed very ferocious under the firelight, and said coldly: "That's right, that dead old woman used a daughter to disguise herself as a man, and deceived us for so many years, and has been on guard against us. Now she has a good relationship with the Emperor of Yan Kingdom and will sacrifice the city in the future. I heard that the emperor asked her to recognize a son as the head of the family. Then, we can't get anything?"
“…”
"How can I, my dad, and the other people in our rooms swallow this?"
“…”
"So, we deliberately pretended to agree with Xiancheng on the surface, but behind the scenes, we had already made a connection with the king of Nanli of the country. As long as Xiancheng was given to the king of Nanli, he would help us get rid of the dead old woman. By that time, the Xue family would be mine!"
Looking at the two people who looked crazy, Song Zhiwen felt a cramp in his chest.
No matter what they look like now, they have grown up together since childhood, running around the mountains and rolling around the ground. Although they know that when they grow up, they can't be as close as they were when they were young, they all have their own thoughts, but in his heart, they still regard these people as friends.
But unexpectedly, time flies, and it is not only their appearance.
After a while, he raised his head, his voice was hoarse as if it were no longer his own, and said, "Then, you guys killed Uncle Cheng for this?"
As soon as these words were said, the guards of the Cheng family around them all showed murderous intent on their faces.
Murong Qiuming and Xue Huaien mentioned this and trembled slightly.
However, things have reached this point, so naturally there is no room for turning back.
So Murong Qiuming stammered his neck and said, "That's right, the only way to destroy your trip to Xiancheng this time is this."
Song Zhiwen shook and said, "But why is it him?"
“…”
"Why not me?"
“…”
"I, our family agrees with Xiancheng, and Uncle Cheng is with you. Why don't you kill me, but to kill him?"
Xue Huaien sneered and said, "Kill you, these Jinyiwei will immediately know that it was the attack of those of us who did not agree to sacrifice to the city, and the people in the city will naturally doubt us."
“…”
"Only by killing someone who also disagrees with Xiancheng will put them in trouble, and the people in Bailong City will resent Yan Kingdom and thus oppose Xiancheng."
“…”
"so"
Song Zhiwen said, "You killed him."
