In the Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace in the capital.
"Haha..." Xiang Guang couldn't help laughing wildly with two letters in his hand.
"Zhen Xu really lived up to everyone's expectations. He added 200,000 troops. The cost of so many troops alone is a huge sum. If Qin De didn't want to rebel, why did he have so many troops? Don't you think it's too much money?" Xiang Guang sneer.
Zhen Xu was in charge of the intelligence and investigation work of the three counties in the Eastern Region. In just half a year, many things had taken shape.
"Your Majesty, now that Qin De is secretly recruiting 200,000 more soldiers, but he is restrained by the Blackwater bandit, he dare not send out the whole army, otherwise the Blackwater bandit will mess up his lair, it is nothing to worry about." Hooked nose The man said in the dark corner behind him.
Xiang Guang put down the letter in his hand, and said, "What do you know? Although the Blackwater bandit has a big tail, but the bandit is just a bandit after all, as long as you give some benefits, they won't make trouble. Then Qin De can still take out eight One hundred thousand troops are going to war against me."
"The emperor is wise." The hooked-nosed man bowed.
"Zhen Xu found out that there are some signs of preparations for food, grass and materials in the three counties of the Eastern Region. In addition, an additional 200,000 troops have been secretly called, and these 200,000 troops have been called for more than five years, and they have already become elite soldiers. All this shows that Qin De is really going to rebel!" Xiang Guang's eyes suddenly flashed coldly.
The man with the hooked nose dared not make a sound.
"Very good, rebellion, right?" Xiang Guang showed a smug look on his face, "Remember, immediately send someone to negotiate with the Blackwater Bandit, provide gold, silver, jewelry or other materials, so that the Blackwater Bandit will start the war." At that time, Qin De's lair will be disrupted!"
The hooked-nosed man thought for a while and said, "What if those bandits have too much appetite?"
"Idiot!" Xiang Guang suddenly turned and stared at the hooked-nosed man, "At all costs, we must make them agree, and even agree to send them a county after the victory."
"Send a county?" The hooked-nosed man was taken aback, and then he understood, "Your subordinates understand, even if you give it to them, it depends on whether they enjoy it." After following Xiang Guang for so many years, for Xiang Guang He is very clear about his temperament.
Xiang Guang nodded in satisfaction: "Smart, when Qin De is relieved, a group of little black water bandits are nothing more than a group of black water bandits. I give an order, and they will not be wiped out. Now we only need to ask them."
"Your Majesty is wise, your subordinates know what to do." The hooked-nosed man responded.
Xiang Guang read another letter and said, "Uncle Shangguan's letter also confirmed everything that Zhen Xu investigated."
The hooked-nosed man's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why don't we capture the king first before we capture the thief, and we will secretly send someone to assassinate Qin De first. In this way, the dragons will have no leader, if we send troops again, It will definitely destroy the Qin family easily."
"Stupid!" Xiang Guang sneered.
The man with the hooked nose suddenly trembled.
"If I send people to assassinate people now, not to say whether it can be successful, but if it can be successful, then the Qin family can also change the head of the family immediately. As far as I know, his three sons, except for the third son, are not very good. Sons are all dragons among men, and the Qin family will attack wildly at that time, the Qin family's 800,000 troops are not just for fun." Xiang Guang sneered.
"Besides, once we assassinate them, the Qin family will definitely guess that Shangguan Hong betrayed them. This is not worth the loss for us. Do you understand?" Xiang Guang stared at the man with the hooked nose and said.
"This subordinate is stupid!" the hooked-nosed man hurriedly said.
A trace of complacency appeared on Xiang Guang's face: "We don't assassinate now, let the Qin family rebel, and ask the Shangguan family to help them. When the Qin family was defenseless, at the critical moment of the war, the Shangguan family suddenly turned against them and gave him a hand behind their backs." The Qin family slashed fiercely, hmph, I don't think the Qin family is finished yet!"
The hook-nosed man's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise, at a critical moment in the battle, if you stab him in the back, our cavalry will attack again, and the Qin family will definitely be wiped out easily."
Xiang Guang was very satisfied with his strategy, nodded, and said indifferently: "Okay, you can go to work now. Try to win over the bandits in the Blackwater Mountains, gold, silver, jewelry, beauties, etc., everything is fine. They messed up the Qin family's lair during the war. As for the Qin family and Shangguan's family, we pretended not to know."
"This subordinate knows, this subordinate will leave." The hooked-nosed man bowed and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
A moment later, a man with a hooked nose appeared in a courtyard.
"Sir, you are back." A beautiful woman walked over.
"Father." A cute little boy also ran over, and the hooked-nosed man picked up his son, put his arms around the beautiful woman and said: "Madam, go back to the room, don't catch the cold here." All the servants in the house are very respectful.
After entering the room, the beautiful woman asked quietly: "Master, did the emperor ask you to do something, when will you stop doing it, it's always like this, I always feel uneasy."
The man with the hooked nose hugged the beautiful woman lovingly and said: "Madam, don't worry, my husband doesn't know the danger of doing this, but I know that the emperor has too many secrets, so there is absolutely no chance of letting go. Don't worry." , with Xiang Guang's wisdom, you are still sure to deal with him."
The hooked-nosed man suddenly frowned, thinking to himself: "With Xiang Guang's temperament, if he knew that Qin De had really rebelled, he would probably have sent someone to assassinate him long ago. Why did he calm down this time and pretend not to know? Let the Shangguan family make a blow at the end."
As the leader of Xiang Guang's secret agents, the hooked-nosed man is really such an idiot.
Everything in the imperial study is just a pretense. If you want Xiang Guang to feel at ease with him, you must make Xiang Guang aware of his weaknesses, but how can you really make the emperor aware of your own weaknesses, so you deliberately pretend to be some weaknesses is the best.
The man with the hooked nose guessed right. There are indeed people behind Xiang Guang. If Xiang Guang was really that smart, he wouldn't have committed the idiot thing he did back then.
…
In the original villa, Qin De stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
"With Xiang Guang's personality, he probably will attack me directly." Qin De smiled. Qin De didn't think highly of Xiang Guang. Although Xiang Guang was not a fool, his strategy was far from enough. Master.
Xu Yuan said from the side: "My lord, once Xiang Guang sends someone to assassinate, it doesn't mean that the Shangguan family is unreliable. Then Zhen Xu may find out something, and Xiang Guang may also judge because of what Zhen Xu found out. We want to rebel and send someone to assassinate the prince."
indeed.
Even if someone assassinated them, it would not mean that the Shangguan family betrayed them.
"Is it necessary for us to find out whether the Shangguan family betrayed us?" Qin De asked with a smile.
Xu Yuan also laughed.
Yes, do they need to figure it out
The purpose of this negotiation is not to win over the Shangguan family, but to release some mist bombs to achieve the desired effect of the Qin family.
Xu Yuan nodded and said: "Indeed, our visit this time is just to release some Misty Pills. Regardless of whether the Shangguan family betrays us or not, the outcome of his Shangguan family is already doomed. We will not let his Shangguan family have a chance during the war." Give us a knife in the back."
No matter what, the Qin family will not allow any mistakes, and will not give the Shangguan family any chance.
"According to my estimation, that Xiang Guang wants to send some materials and so on to the Blackwater bandits." Qin De said with a smile.
Xu Yuan also laughed.
"Report, there is a secret letter from the palace." A man walked into the courtyard and handed over a secret letter, Xu Yuan took it immediately, and then passed it to Qin De.
"What else is there in the palace?" Qin De opened the secret letter and his eyes lit up immediately, "Haha, God help me too, Yu'er has done a great job this time, I have been worrying about the two immortals of the Xiang family Yes, now that I have such a treasure, I am sure. Haha, it’s really great.”
Qin De's excitement at this moment cannot be expressed in words.
"Is there any big happy event?" Xu Yuan asked curiously from the side, Qin De was about to pass the secret letter to him for viewing, Xu Yuan was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately said, "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord."
Qin De laughed and said, "Yu'er has made such a great contribution this time. You must reward him well when you go back. Well, Xu Yuan, hurry up and send someone, we'll go back to the palace right away!"
"Yes!" Xu Yuan bowed immediately, and Qin De couldn't help laughing. He never thought that his third son, Qin Yu, would give him such a big surprise. It seems that it is a treasure that can refine spirit weapons.
Spirit weapon!
Xu Yuan on the side fully understands the importance of the flaming iron in the stone to Qin De, and the importance is no less than the 200,000 troops, so how can Qin De not be so excited.
