Seeing that Tang Zheng had promised to believe in Li Xiaotian, Wu wanted to say something but hesitated.
Actually, she was also very conflicted in her heart.
On one hand, she desperately wanted to save them, so she had to choose to believe in Li Xiaotian.
On the other hand, her intuition and experience told her that Li Xiaotian was full of lies and she could not easily believe her.
However, Tang Zheng had already made his decision, so she put those words back into her stomach.
Li Xiaotian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at Wu complacently.
Wu Quan pretended not to see it, his gaze turned, sweeping across the Sky Emperor's corpse on the ground, and asked with a frown: "What should we do?"
Tang Zheng looked at the stiff Sky Emperor and sighed regretfully. The people from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion were truly ruthless, even daring to kill the Sky Emperor, who knew what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd.
A dead person no longer had any value. Tang Zheng waved his hand and said: "Let's go, there's no need to bother with him. However, with the death of the Sky Emperor, the chaos in the Island nation will definitely worsen. Let's just sit back and watch the show. "
Li Xiaotian looked at the Sky Emperor's corpse absentmindedly, his brows knitted, as though he was thinking about something.
Seeing that, Tang Zheng subconsciously stopped in his tracks and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
As if waking up from a dream, Li Xiaotian revealed a brilliant smile and said: "Nothing."
However, there was still a lingering doubt in the depths of his eyes.
The three of them left the scene, leaving behind the Sky Emperor's corpse lying quietly on the ground. The final destination of the ruler of a country was incomparably desolate.
The three of them disguised themselves and passed through the crowd. Looking at the parade on the street, the corner of Tang Zheng's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Although his trip to the Island nation this time was filled with danger, he had also gained a lot. He had actually turned the Island nation upside down, which could be considered a lesson for this country.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the crowd in front of him. Immediately, everyone swarmed towards that direction.
"What's going on?" The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"Why don't we go take a look?" Li Xiaotian suggested.
Wu immediately rejected: "No, don't think that we don't know what you're thinking. You want to take advantage of the chaos to escape, right? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we will continue to advance towards the Imperial Advisor's residence. "
Tang Zheng considered for a moment and was about to nod in agreement when he heard a voice coming from afar.
"This voice is so familiar." He pricked up his ears and looked up. In the distance, he saw a familiar figure speaking passionately in front of a microphone on a huge electronic screen.
"Damn it!" Tang Zheng was flabbergasted as he cursed loudly. Wu and Li Xiaotian's reactions were similar as they stared straight at the person on the screen.
"Isn't the Emperor dead? Why is he speaking on the screen? What is going on? "
Looking at the excited reaction of the Island nation people, it was clear that this was not a video, but a real person speaking. Especially the mess behind him in the Kokyo, it was clear that he was standing in front of the Kokyo and speaking live.
In other words, this was not a video, but a live broadcast.
But dozens of minutes ago, they had seen the Emperor die in the hands of Junko with their own eyes. Tang Zheng had personally checked, and could be 100% sure that he was dead.
What the hell, wasn't this the situation?
Although they couldn't understand what the other party was saying, it was obvious that after hearing his speech, the emotions of the Island nation people gradually calmed down, and even cheered thunderously.
The Emperor was a spiritual symbol of the Island nation. Previously, it was rumored that the Emperor had been captured, and the authorities had always been perfunctory, so the people of the Island nation were completely flustered, causing a series of riots.
At this moment, after hearing the Emperor's speech, he accused the rumors of being a conspiracy of the enemy forces, telling the people not to believe it.
Li Xiaotian had been staring at the Emperor on the screen. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and exclaimed in realization: "I know."
"What do you know?" Tang Zheng and Wu immediately turned their heads to look at her.
"I know what's going on. No wonder Junko would kill that person without mercy, because that person is not the real Emperor. "Li Xiaotian said solemnly.
Ah?
Tang Zheng and Wu were shocked, they didn't understand what she meant.
"We've all been deceived. The Island nation people are too cunning, they actually pushed out a substitute to block the wind and rain and confuse everyone." Li Xiaotian said hatefully.
She had always been the one to lie to others, when had she ever been deceived like this? But this time, she was careless, and was actually deceived by a group of Island nation people for so long, playing in circles.
She was truly furious.
Tang Zheng and Wu were not idiots. After thinking about it, they went through all the clues that had led to this.
Gradually, they realized that what Li Xiaotian said was probably true.
They had really been played by the Island nation people.
No!
Not only them, the people of the Island nation, and even the people of the entire world had been played by the Island nation people. It turned out that the Island nation had always nurtured a substitute for the Emperor, and when necessary, they would push it out as a scapegoat.
The Imperial Tutor's Mansion was clearly aware of this, which was why they killed the scapegoat without hesitation.
"I was saying that the Emperor's body had a hidden illness, how could it be as if nothing had happened. So he was just a fake, the real Emperor was the person on the screen." Li Xiaotian pointed at the screen and said fiercely.
Tang Zheng once again looked over. Although the Emperor's words were sonorous and powerful, as if he was full of spirit, in Tang Zheng's eyes, his spirit was all faked.
How could the illness between his brows escape Tang Zheng's fiery eyes.
"He is the real Emperor, he is really sick." Tang Zheng said, "So the person I've been capturing is a substitute, damn it!"
"But why did the real Emperor not come out a while ago, allowing the country to be in turmoil, but now he came out again?" Wu asked suspiciously.
Li Xiaotian laughed coldly and joked: "Your head is too simple, you can't even figure out such a simple question."
Wu's face turned cold as he said, "Say that again."
Tang Zheng hurriedly dissuaded him and explained, "This is the cunning part of the other party. They know very well that we don't know that we caught an imposter. If the real Emperor were to appear, then we would know."
"Although it's a fake, it's still hard to distinguish between the real Emperor and the fake. It's the same for us and for others."
"If we knew the truth, we could still use the fake in our hands. We could casually broadcast it all over the world and make him admit that he is the real Emperor. Then, the dignity of the royal family would be gone."
"In fact, they would be afraid that we would kill the fake in front of the people. That would be the real deal. Even if they were to push out the real Emperor, the people would not completely believe them."
"In short, only when the fake is confirmed to be dead will the real Emperor dare to come out and refute the rumors. The Imperial Advisor's Mansion really played a good hand. They used the news of Wu Junshan and the others to deceive us, and then took the opportunity to kill the Emperor, completely destroying the card in our hands. Hmph, they really put in a lot of effort. "
Tang Zheng spoke tirelessly, causing Wu to come to a realization. He gradually understood the mystery behind it and couldn't help but sigh at the cunning of the Island nation people.
"Li Xiaotian, haven't you always been in cahoots with the people of the Island nation? Don't tell me you don't know about the matter of the monk? "Tang Zheng asked.
Li Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "This must be the top secret of the Island nation, do you think I would know?"
"Then does that mean that the other information that Junko said is also fake? Master and the others are not in the hands of the Imperial Advisor's Mansion? "Wu exclaimed.
Tang Zheng's face darkened as he fell into deep thought. To be honest, he was truly unable to determine this point.
The Imperial Advisor's Mansion's tricks were too powerful. He was unable to accurately determine which sentence was true and which sentence was false.
Li Xiaotian smiled mysteriously and said: "That might not be the case. The Imperial Advisor personally admitted that he imprisoned Wu Junshan and the others."
"Really?" Tang Zheng was skeptical.
"I know you don't believe me. As for whether you believe me or not this time, it all depends on you." Li Xiaotian shrugged and said indifferently.
Tang Zheng and Wu looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. Wu took a deep breath and said: "Trust her again."
Tang Zheng nodded.
Li Xiaotian laughed: "Smart, if you don't believe me, then there's no need to go to the Imperial Advisor's Mansion."
"Hmph, since that's the case, then continue leading the way."
The three of them continued forward. After passing through the bustling city, they realized that the gathered people had gradually dispersed. All of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
The appearance of the Heavenly Emperor had truly appeased these people.
Wu said unwillingly, "Let's go back and get the Heavenly Emperor's corpse. Then, we'll expose it to the public. I wonder if it will cause a bit of a stir."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "It's useless, not to mention that the imposter's corpse is definitely long gone, even if we find it, it's useless, a dead person is not as useful as a living person, this time we've been tricked by the other party, we must be more careful in the future."
After saying that, he subconsciously raised his head to look at Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian felt his gaze, but remained calm and composed as he walked in front alone.
"Li Xiaotian, you have a cooperation with the Imperial Advisor's Mansion, and now you are bringing us to the Imperial Advisor's Mansion. Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Advisor's Mansion will turn hostile and deal with you instead?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
"In any case, I am not on the same path as the Imperial Advisor's Mansion. Are you afraid that they will fall out with me?" Li Xiaotian said indifferently.
"What kind of place is the Imperial Advisor's Mansion?"
"If you go, you will definitely be disappointed, because the Imperial Advisor's Mansion is just a small village. It is like a paradise without any outsiders to disturb it. This is a place that many ancient scholars yearn for."
However, Tang Zheng frowned and said, "A beautiful appearance often means danger. The more beautiful it is, the more deceptive it is."
"Hehe, are you hinting at me?" Li Xiaotian covered his mouth and chuckled, "I'll take it as a compliment. This is the most beautiful compliment I've ever heard."
"Shameless!" Wu complained indignantly.
Li Xiaotian turned a deaf ear to him and continued, "Although the Imperial Advisor's Mansion is quiet and beautiful, there are dangers hidden within. This is without a doubt, so if you barge in, you must be prepared to sacrifice yourselves."
"You don't have to worry about it. Just lead the way."
