Chapter 131 Secret Letter Arrives in Beijing
June 30th, at the time of Shen, in the Palace of Prince Yan in the imperial capital.
Yan Yi lightly pushed open the door of King Yan's study. His steps were steady and quiet, as if blending into the surrounding air.
He walked to the desk and said softly, "Master, Yuncheng has important information."
Chu Tiancheng, who was sitting behind the desk and looking at a map, raised his head. His eyes were deep and sharp, revealing a kind of majesty and calmness.
He looked at Yan Yi, frowned slightly, and asked, "Was it a carrier pigeon?"
Yan Yi shook his head and replied, "No, it was provided by Gu Yidao and delivered by our people."
Upon hearing the news, Chu Tiancheng's face became solemn. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thinking about the importance of this information.
Gu Yidao is a mysterious and powerful figure. If he took the initiative to contact King Yan and deliver information, then it must be something very important.
"You got something so soon? Bring it here."
There was a glimmer of excitement in Chu Tiancheng's eyes. He had contacted Gu Yidao to look for evidence of collusion between Chu Tianxing and Xiao Yifei, but he didn't expect to find it so soon?
Yan Yi respectfully handed a secret letter to Chu Tiancheng, then carefully stepped aside, waiting for his master's instructions.
Chu Tiancheng took the secret letter and carefully observed the seal of the envelope. After confirming that it was not damaged, he gently opened the envelope.
Inside was a piece of letter paper with densely written words on it.
Chu Tiancheng took a closer look and found that the words were written in a special ink that could only be seen under a certain light. This design made the letter look more mysterious and important.
Chu Tiancheng gently unfolded the letter and read its contents carefully.
As he read, his expression became more and more serious and his eyes became sharper and sharper.
The letter was written by Chu Tianxing to Xiao Yifei.
"Prince Xiao:
After much thought, I decided not to pursue the matter of Gu Yidao.
I'll leave Gu Yidao to you.
We can't let him affect our cooperation.
After all, what you and I are aiming for are big things.
——Chu Tianxing. "
When Chu Tiancheng finished reading the last word in the letter, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
After a while, Chu Tiancheng opened his eyes, slammed the table, and said angrily: "This Chu Tianxing actually dared to sell out the country."
After a while, he said to Yan Yi, "Please ask Mr. Zuo and Mr. Zhou to come over."
After Zuo Qingyun and Zhou Zihan arrived, Chu Tiancheng showed them the secret letter.
"What do you think of this letter?"
Zhou Zihan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this letter should be true. However, we still need to further verify the details of their cooperation."
Chu Tiancheng nodded, indicating that he agreed with his opinion.
"You are right. Although this letter is very important, we cannot fully prove that Chu Tianxing is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country based on it alone.
We still need to obtain more intelligence from other parties to prove his guilt.”
Zuo Qingyun also said: "The cooperation mentioned in the secret letter must be related to the upcoming Southeast War."
Chu Tiancheng said: "In this case, this is also related to the strategic deployment and tactical issues of this war."
He immediately ordered Yan Yi, "Write back to Gu Yidao and ask him to find out the details of Chu Tianxing and Xiao Yifei's cooperation."
In the next few days, Chu Tiancheng studied the secret letter and discussed with his advisers how to use the information in it to formulate a better strategy.
They continued to analyze and discuss, trying to find the most effective way to deal with the upcoming war in the southeast.
