After a pause, Jiang Yue continued, “If these people can’t recognize who Ni Dingyuan is, then even if Wufu was the only one in that room, it was very likely that Wufu would be mistaken for Ni Dingyuan. Then, the male consort that Fu Ying brought into the palace might very well be Wufu. If the people inside knew Ni Dingyuan, then the person Fu Ying brought would definitely be Ni Dingyuan.”
Xue Yan nodded again to show his agreement. “It was inappropriate to ask Da He if he knew Ni Dingyuan and if he was really sure that the one in the palace was Ni Dingyuan. It just so happens that we were planning to explore the palace tonight. At that time, we will know if the Ni Dingyuan in the palace is Wufu.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded.
“Then why didn’t those two mysterious people not look for Fu Xu directly, but through letters?” Xue Yan asked curiously. If they had directly appeared in front of Fu Xu and told him how he looked, they wouldn’t have made this mistake. It made Fu Xu think that the beggar and his accomplices were playing him. Those two mysterious people are so resourceful that they could make Wufu appear in the city in less than a day. Presumably, it should be easy for them to appear in front of Fu Xu and personally tell Fu Xu, right?”
Jiang Yue nodded and pondered. “This is very strange. If Fu Xu could recognize the two, he would immediately be able to tell who was who. Why would the mysterious men want to reduce their chances of failure? Then when I asked the beggar to deliver the letter, didn’t only one mysterious person appear? Maybe they were trying to conceal their ident.i.ty.”
Xue Yan carefully thought about all of this before nodding and saying, “It’s very likely that he’s reducing the chances of appearing in front of people. The fewer times they appear, the less they are exposed, and the less we know about them. Moreover, this time, it doesn’t seem like he wants to kill me. It’s more like he wants to start a war between the two countries. It’s either you die or I die. Moreover, Fu Xu is a man of his character. Once he catches me, he will definitely threaten Da Ling to give Beicheng the ready-made cannons and gunpowder, as well as the structural designs of the cannons, the composition of the gunpowder, and the various proportions. If Fu Xu gets these, he will cause chaos in the various countries. This is a little like…”
Speaking up to this point, it was unknown what he thought of, Xue Yan stopped talking.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yue looked at him and asked. Something was obviously wrong.
Xue Yan was stunned for a long while again before he said somewhat disbelievingly,” In my previous life, it was Fu Xu who stirred up the world into a mess and attacked Da Ling. There was chaos everywhere, and Da Ling was in a deep situation. Then, I led troops to go on expeditions everywhere and unified the world.”
Jiang Yue was also stunned. In that case, the two mysterious people’s goal now was not to kill him, but to let him unify the world as soon as possible… The two mysterious people were adding fuel to the fire…
“It seems…” Xue Yan muttered, “Someone has been reborn again…” But the next moment, he quickly said, “But it doesn’t seem like it. They wanted to kill me before, and now they want me to unify the world… If I unify the world, won’t it be even harder to kill me? Could it be that this mysterious person is not one of the two mysterious people from before? Then again… They had the same clothing…”
“It doesn’t matter if the mysterious person this time is one of the two mysterious people from before. It still makes sense why they’re doing all this… What doesn’t make sense is why Fu Xu?” Jiang Yue continued.
When they found out that Wufu was missing but had Fu Xu’s residence’s token, they were puzzled as to why they had left behind Fu Xu’s residence’s token.
“That’s true. It was a little odd.” Xue Yan nodded.
