He searched his mind hard for the limited plays he had seen, trying to act more naturally.
But it was indeed limited. He had never seen such a drama before, so he couldn't utter a word and just stared blankly at General Long.
Seeing his demented look, General Long said that he was unable to accept it at the moment, and told him everything that had happened between the two families.
———I am the dividing line between a crazy old man and a knife boss—
Wooden village.
This time the experiment was finally somewhat effective and a pit was blasted out.
The three of them were so excited that they thought if they increased the dosage, it would work.
"By the way, Your Majesty, what mission do you want Xiaodao to do? Can he do it alone? He is not familiar with this place." Xiao Tuo suddenly asked.
"Tell him to find Long Po." Murong Jie packed up his things and walked back, looking very happy.
"Oh." Su Qing and Xiao Tuo were not surprised. After sending Boss Dao to the princess, they had sent people to Shu to check his background and family. They would not feel safe using him without a thorough investigation.
"But we're not sure." Xiao Tuo said.
“That’s why I asked him to go find Luang Po.”
"Long Po is actually not sure in her heart." The people who were sent to Shu to investigate reported directly to Xiao Tuo, who then reported to Murong Jie. Therefore, Xiao Tuo and Su Qing were very clear about the matter, and Long Po was also sent back to Beimo by the secret guards.
"It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. As long as General Long believes it, it's fine." Who cares whether it is true or not? If General Long can see his grandson, and it is said by the Dragon Po, he will naturally believe it completely. At least, he will believe it now. If he makes this old man happy, things will be easier in the future.
Even if he wanted to investigate in the future, he would not be able to find out clearly, because there were only a few people left in Dao Lao Da's village. And when he sent people to investigate, they said that Dao Lao Da was adopted and brought here by a woman from another place. After the woman died, Dao Lao Da's adoptive parents adopted him.
This information can fully "prove" that Boss Dao is Long Ji's son.
As for that woman from other place, who knows if she is Long Ji
As long as the ages match.
Maybe it is true.
"No wonder you didn't let Boss Dao be enslaved. It turns out you had been thinking about sending him back."
"Not really," Murong Jie shook his head and continued walking forward. "I didn't make him a slave just because I felt it was unnecessary. As for sending him back, I never thought about it. There was no benefit at that time, so why bother? Isn't he of use now? Of course I have to make full use of him."
Well, it fits the character's personality very well. All businessmen are dishonest and all politicians are ruthless without profit.
The three of them returned to the wooden village and began to discuss the next plan.
"What are your plans after rescuing Qin Zhou?" Su Qing asked.
"Of course it's a counterattack." Xiao Tuo said without hesitation.
"Counterattack means civil war." Su Qing shook her head. "The situation is different now. Now Chu Jing is behind the scenes. What is Qin Zhou's excuse for fighting? He can't declare to the public that he is fighting against the emperor she supported herself, right? Isn't this equivalent to telling the world that he, Qin Zhou, is planning a rebellion?"
Xiao Tuo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's overturn her case first."
"There is no case to overturn." Murong Jie interrupted calmly, "She was rescued. Although we want to use General Long's mouth to declare that it was the wrath of heaven, there is really no way to overturn this case. Qin Zhou will not testify against his own great-grandmother."
"We can't overturn the verdict, and we can't fight her. Does that mean that rescuing her and taking her back to Great Zhou will be the end of it?" Xiao Tuo was confused.
Murong Jie and Su Qing nodded at the same time, "That's right!"
Xiao Tuo exclaimed, what kind of trick is this
"Don't they want military power? Qin Zhou's body hasn't been found, so Qin Zhou is not dead. Even if Chu Jing is anxious, he must wait for a year. If Qin Zhou is not found, he can declare Qin Zhou dead and find a way to take back the military power. But during this year, Chu Jing can only hide behind the scenes and dare not kill Emperor Kangping."
"But Qin Zhou is gone. Who has the military command? If these soldiers are mobilized this year, can't they still go to war?" Xiao Tuo said.
Su Qing shook his head. "The situation in Beimo is different from that in our Great Zhou. Beimo's military token is itself a foil. To put it bluntly, Beimo's army is Qin Zhou's army. Of course, after Emperor Kangping ascended the throne, some of them were transferred to General Long's command, but the main force is still in Qin Zhou's hands. These people only recognize Qin Zhou, unless Qin Zhou is really dead. Without Qin Zhou's signature, the army will not move. If Qin Zhou goes out, summons the generals, and gives instructions, it can be basically confirmed that neither Emperor Kangping nor Chu Jing can mobilize the army to go out. The old lady and the old general of the Qin family may be able to mobilize some people, but to attack the Great Zhou, the main force is needed. Chu Jing will not be stupid enough to send 100,000 or 80,000 people to attack our Great Zhou. That is undoubtedly a pebble against a rock."
Xiao Tuo asked: "But, if Chu Jing kills Emperor Kangping and becomes emperor again..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Qing denied it, "Don't worry about this at all. In the hearts of the people of Beimo, Chu Jing is already dead. If he kills Emperor Kangping and ascends the throne, it will be equivalent to giving Qin Zhou a chance to counterattack. He will not destroy himself."
When Xiao Tuo heard this, he really didn't understand, "If that's the case, even if Chu Jing succeeds, he won't be able to sit on the throne again."
"Hey, where's your brain?" Su Qing sighed, "If he succeeds, it proves that no one threatens him anymore, and Qin Zhou is dead. Why can't he say that the prince of Zhenguo rebelled, he was rescued, and then the prince of Ni found a fake corpse to replace him? By then, Emperor Kangping will die of a sudden illness, and he will ascend the throne as emperor. All the stories will be written by him as the victor. What can't he write? But as long as Qin Zhou is alive and the army is not in his hands, he will not expose himself, nor will he let Emperor Kangping fall ill. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand!" Xiao Tuo nodded repeatedly. This time he really understood. He immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "You guys can analyze it so thoroughly. That's great."
But then he asked again: "But if Qin Zhou is not here, will Chu Jing try to win over General Long? His prestige is also very high."
"General Long is indeed a little confused, which is why I sent Xiaodao to Bohou Mansion." Murong Jie said slowly.
"But Xiaodao is not good at dealing with people and doesn't know how to beat around the bush."
Su Qing rolled her eyes. "You don't know how to deal with things, and you don't know how to beat around the bush. How can you have the nerve to criticize others?"
Xiao Tuo snorted, "If you want to talk about Xiaodao, just talk about Xiaodao. Why are you talking about me?"
Murong Jie opened the basket on the table, took out a sweet potato that he had made this morning, peeled it carefully, and ate it slowly, saying, "What we want is Xiaodao to be incompetent. When the time comes, we only need to give him an order, and he will carry it out to the end."
"What order?" Xiao Tuo asked blankly.
Su Qing rolled his eyes again, "Tell him to stay with General Long and remind him that if anyone wants the military power in his hands, even if it's Emperor Kangping, he will say one word, no! Two words, no!"
"Well, if you tell Xiaodao like this, he will use all his brute force to prevent this from happening. He would be a good choice." Xiao Tuo said seriously.
