Chapter 1154

"Ah?" Chen Ning let out a soft cry, "And then?"

Mo Chuan tightly knit his brows and said, "After this happened, the Northern Qi envoy insisted that I sent people to poison them and then stole the blueprint. They wanted me to hand over the blueprint, otherwise they would not let it go. This really did happen in the guest house. If I can't find the blueprint, I can't explain this even if I have a mouth. But the person who stole the blueprint was clearly caught by them, but he didn't have the blueprint on him. This is really strange! "

Chen Ning thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say that they didn't want to steal what they were guarding. The thief cried thief, so they deliberately set up a diversion. Otherwise, how could they not find the stolen goods on the thief? Could it be that he swallowed the blueprint into his stomach? "

Mo Chuan said, "I also thought of this, but after the black-clothed man committed suicide, the Northern Qi emissary used a knife to cut open his stomach, but they didn't find the blueprints. As for the black-clothed man's identity and background, we don't know. The only thing we can be sure of is that he is from West Chu. That's why the Northern Qi emissary insists that this was done by West Chu."

"Mo Chuan, there must be a mastermind behind this. That black-clothed man was just a pawn used by someone else." Chen Ning said with certainty, "He committed suicide by poison to hide the truth for the mastermind. Once he dies, finding the mastermind will be as hard as ascending to the heavens."

"That's right, but even if we find the mastermind, will we be able to find the blueprint?" This was what Mo Chuan was worried about the most.

Chen Ning thought for a bit and said, "How many people know that the Northern Qi envoy wanted to sell the blueprint?"

Mo Chuan looked at her and said, "Only me and the Minister of War, Li Zhixing, know about this. I am not familiar with the blueprint of the quintuple linked crossbow. I once summoned Li Zhixing to the palace and showed him this blueprint. He is proficient in the art of forging, so after seeing this blueprint, he is very sure that this blueprint is the blueprint for the quintuple linked crossbow."

"So you're saying that the person who knows the value of this blueprint is Li Zhixing?" Chen Ning said after some thought.

"He is very suspicious, but besides him, there is another suspicious person." Mo Chuan took a deep breath and slowly said.

"Who?"

"According to the Northern Qi envoy, he wanted to protect the blueprint and was afraid of losing it, so he stayed in the guest house for three days. But on the second day, an unexpected guest came to visit him. That person was …" Mo Chuan slowly said, "King Ding Yuan, Chu Shao Yang."

"Chu Shao Yang?" Chen Ning was shocked and looked at Mo Chuan, "Chuan, Chu Shao?" "Chu Shao Yang?" Chen Ning was Chu Shao Qing.

Mo Chuan slowly shook his head, "The Northern Qi envoy said that he and Chu Shao Yang did not know each other, but he heard that the other party was King Ding Yuan. He was too embarrassed to reject him, so he invited Chu Shao Yang in. The two of them drank tea and chatted for half a day, talking about all sorts of romantic matters. When it was almost noon, he wanted to ask Chu Shao Yang to stay for a meal, but Chu Shao Yang did not stay and left. The Northern Qi envoy was still confused, not understanding why Chu Shao Yang would visit. So when the blueprint was stolen, the first person he suspected was Chu Shao Yang!"
