Children of Loulan

Chapter 246 I'm afraid it's not going to be a good thing

Batur continued, "It is said that although this general is the Shangshu's cousin, he does not agree with many of Shangshu's actions, and the two of them once had a fierce quarrel over this!"

Aidil said with some displeasure: "What's the point of you saying this? What does this have to do with this?"

Keremu said slowly, "If the Minister has any tricks, General Alikuti will definitely not cover it up!"

Aidil frowned, his tone full of doubt: "But the Prime Minister is my grandfather after all, even if it's only in name, but will the general believe me?"

Batur looked at Aidil firmly and said solemnly: "Although the prime minister is your grandfather, you are more importantly the prince of Loulan and the son of the king. The people of Loulan are also your people. If the prime minister is not good for the people of Loulan in the future, you will definitely abandon the prime minister without hesitation."

Keremu continued, "Besides, he is not your biological grandfather, and you have not been too close to the prime minister on the surface over the years."

Batur nodded slightly to show his agreement: "That's why you are the most suitable candidate, because your situation is very similar to his."

Aidier looked at his eldest brother and third brother, who were talking to each other in perfect harmony, and he couldn't help feeling a little helpless. He sighed softly, then nodded, indicating that he understood their intentions.

"Well, now I understand. You two are singing the same tune just to get me to go! Well, one elder brother is still injured and the other younger brother needs care, so it is my duty as the king." There was a hint of helplessness in Aidil's tone, but it also contained understanding and support for brotherhood.

Hearing that Aidil agreed, Batur immediately stood up and thanked him respectfully: "Thank you for your hard work, brother!" His eyes revealed sincere gratitude.

Aidil waved his hand, indicating that it was OK. "Okay, okay, stop being hypocritical, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and left resolutely, leaving Batur and Keremu where they were.

Batur looked at his second brother's back as he left, his heart filled with emotion. He turned around and looked at Keremu who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Brother, do you have any guesses about the person behind this?"

Keremu frowned and shook his head: "Not yet. After all, we don't know much at present. And the profit from this matter is nothing more than some money, so I really can't imagine that someone who can do this would be short of this little money!" His expression looked serious and deep, and he was obviously confused and puzzled by this question.

Batuer asked again: "What if it's not for the little money?"

Keremu's eyes widened. "What do you mean, Third Brother? That location?" He pointed to the sky. "But, who could this person be?" He thought with disbelief on his face!

Batuer also had a serious expression on his face. "So, this matter must be investigated carefully!"

After returning to his house, Aidier immediately began to pack up and prepare to go to the border of the Tang Dynasty to find General Alikuti. A Cheng asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, if you just believe what they say and go like this, what if there is an accident in the capital?"

Aidier stopped what he was doing, looked at Acheng, and said, "They are my brothers and the princes of Loulan. I believe that when Loulan is in crisis, they will put Loulan first like me. After all, if the country is gone, what can the three of us fight for?"

Ah Cheng frowned and said with some worry: "But what if this is a trap? I will go with you!"

Aidil fell into deep thought. After a while, he replied firmly, "Okay, you go with me. But the palace must make proper arrangements to ensure that the mother and child are safe before we return."

Upon hearing that he could accompany the prince, Ah Cheng immediately nodded excitedly, "No problem, I'll make arrangements right away!"

After Acheng had prepared everything, he specially selected several guards with high martial arts skills in the mansion and set off with Aidil.

Batur left soon after Aidil left. At this time, Baixi stepped forward, looked at Keremu, and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that His Royal Highness Chengwang has doubts about someone."

Keremu nodded in agreement: "Well, he wants to know whether the king is suspicious of that person just like him."

Bai Xi continued, "Yes, but I think this incident is not something that the Prime Minister did. Instead, it seems more like it was directed at the Prime Minister."

Keremu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Bai Xi calmly analyzed: "First, the Shangshu and the Prime Minister are not only related by marriage, but also have a common interest. Secondly, the Shangshu is also responsible for procurement affairs with the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the first person to be transported is the Shangshu's cousin. If the Shangshu is involved, then the Prime Minister will definitely be implicated."

Keremu frowned and said with some disapproval: "Although what you said makes sense, it is all based on assumptions. We have no solid evidence to prove that the Prime Minister is involved in this matter. And if something really happened, he would definitely abandon the Shangshu in order to protect himself."

After thinking about it, Bai Xi admitted, "That's true, so we need more clues and evidence to confirm this guess. However, judging from the current situation, this will be a tough battle."

Keremu nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Well, that's right, in this contest, the three of us brothers will play with him!"

Bai Xi took a deep breath, looked at Keremu solemnly, and continued: "Right now, we have no other choice but to interrogate those escorting them to see if we can get any clues!"

Keremu nodded, "Well, I believe that the third brother will come with the interrogation records tomorrow!"

He paused, frowning slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, he won't be able to get anything out of me!"

Bai Xi nodded, indicating his agreement: "I just don't know if His Royal Highness King Cheng can keep his composure."

Keremu chuckled and said, "The third brother nowadays is not an ordinary person, he is very smart!"

Bai Xi asked curiously: "Won't the prince go there in person?"

Keremu smiled slightly and shook his head, "They are just some minions, there is no need for me to take action. What's more, there are more important things waiting for me to deal with." His eyes revealed majesty and determination.

After a moment of silence, Keremu continued, "However, the missing person is probably in grave danger. It is very likely that he became a scapegoat for someone else."

Keremu's voice was low and serious, as if carrying a heavy pressure.

Bai Xi nodded vigorously, with a determined light in his eyes: "Then I will send more people to look for it. Even if we only find a corpse, we can find some clues!" He knew that time was running out, but he firmly believed that as long as there were enough manpower and determination, he would always find some clues.

Keremu nodded slightly to show his agreement. He knew that Baixi was a loyal and reliable subordinate who would go all out to find the missing person. But he still reminded him with concern: "Well, go ahead, but don't get into conflict with Cheng Wang's people!"
