Although Lin Mo has not been following Su Shi for a long time, he knows that the young master is a master who is not afraid of anything, no matter in the past or now.
So he never expected to see a look of fear on the young master's face.
Having experienced fighting on the battlefield and facing the dilemma of life and death, Lin Mo was sure that the young master was really scared.
He could even see the young master's shadow trembling slightly under the moonlight.
Although Lin Mo didn't know what the young master was afraid of, the thing that could make the young master scared must not be a trivial matter, so he couldn't help but feel nervous, and even his breathing became extremely slow.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Shi took a deep breath, looked up at Lin Mo, and said slowly, "Can you contact the people outside the General's Mansion?"
"Yes." Lin Mo immediately replied affirmatively: "Zhang Ao is worried about the young master, so there are always scouts active outside the general's mansion."
"Immediately upload the news to people outside and ask Zhang Ao to tell Princess Pingle that she must find a way to meet me in the next two days no matter what."
"Yes." Lin Mo replied: "I will do it immediately."
Although Su Shi woke up very early the next day, he was in low spirits. Even after exercising, his face was no longer as rosy as before, and was even a little pale.
And he didn't seem to have much appetite. He only ate a few bites of breakfast in a hurry, and then sat in the pavilion in a daze.
Everyone in the general's mansion seemed to be aware of the abnormality of the young master, so everyone was cautious, and the atmosphere in the general's mansion suddenly became tense.
Just after Shen Shi, Su Shi sat on the stone bench, stroking his forehead with both hands and rubbing his temples with his thumbs.
At this time, Lin Mo suddenly ran over in a hurry, came to Su Shi's side, and called softly: "Young Master."
Su Shi looked up at him blankly. Lin Mo showed a hint of joy and said, "The scout outside the mansion just sent a message back. The princess is already on her way to the general's mansion."
Su Shi perked up: "Really?"
Seeing Lin Mo nodding affirmatively, Su Shi was happy at first, but then felt dazed again, because there were many things he hadn't thought of how to say to Zhou Jin, but now the situation was critical and he had to say it. .
Zhou Jin also knew that something extremely important must have happened when Su Shi was looking for her, so after getting the news, he immediately went to the palace to request the order, and then rushed to the general's mansion without stopping.
When she just walked into the general's mansion and suddenly looked at Su Shi, her heart suddenly beat so fast, but when she saw Su Shi's face clearly, her mood became nervous.
Su Shi's face was not only a little haggard, but also extremely solemn, and even a little frightened.
"What happened?" Zhou Jin stood there and asked hurriedly.
Su Shi shook his head gently: "Let's talk about it in the study."
The two came to the study room. Su Shi looked at Lin Mo, who immediately said, "Master, please don't worry."
As soon as he entered the study, Zhou Jin couldn't wait to ask: "You are so anxious to find me, has something happened?"
Su Shi motioned for her to sit down first, but Zhou Jin was so anxious at this moment, how could she sit still. Su Shi had no choice but to let her go, then thought about it and said, "Master Kong must have told you our guess."
Zhou Jin nodded: "As soon as Mr. Kong left the General's Mansion, he came to Qianqiu Zhiku and told us in detail the process of his meeting with you." At this point, she seemed to be relaxed a lot, but she was still showing off her face. With a displeased look: "I didn't expect that Father would even hide this from us."
"The fewer people who know about His Majesty's plan, the better. If we know His Majesty's plan in advance, our behavior will not be so natural, and once it falls into the eyes of an interested person, the other party may not take the bait."
Zhou Jin suddenly whispered: "Do you think father's plan will succeed?"
Su Shi's fingers suddenly tapped lightly on the desk. After a long silence, he sighed: "What I'm worried about now is not whether your majesty's plan is effective, but why your majesty is so anxious to use this plan."
Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi without knowing why, because his words were really confusing.
Su Shi explained: "The reason why His Majesty wants to hand Qianqiu Trading Company into your hands is because he knows that it will play a greater role in your hands, and its power has now been demonstrated."
Zhou Jin suddenly blushed and whispered: "If it weren't for Miss Qin Nan and Sister Xiaolan, I really don't know what to do."
Su Shi turned a deaf ear to her words and continued to mutter: "Your Majesty, if you want to deal with Pei Xun, Qianqiu Trading Company is the sharpest knife. Your Majesty should let this knife exert its maximum power before taking action against Pei Xun. That way, you will get twice the result with half the effort." . But now that the sword has just been unsheathed, His Majesty is in a hurry to take action, which seems to be a bit too hasty. "
Zhou Jin couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words: "When my father mentioned Pei Xun in front of the two royal brothers that night, I already realized that something was wrong, but at the time I thought my father was angry, so I didn't think much about it."
"Regarding Pei Xuan, what is the current attitude of King Qi and King Zhao?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "They are now tracing Pei Xun's origins, but the results are not great. So far, all they know is the information provided to them by Eunuch Hu. However, they seem to just take it seriously. After all, what Pei Xun knows is There is no solid evidence for anything he does, and it is difficult to win people's trust based on just his words."
Su Shi said slowly: "Whether King Qi and King Zhao believe it or doubt it, your Majesty's words will leave a thorn in their hearts. And as time goes by, this thorn will It’s getting bigger and bigger. That’s why His Majesty chose to make Pei Hyun public, in order to get the other party to take action as soon as possible.”
Zhou Jin wondered: "Is there a problem with doing this?"
Su Shi suddenly became a little hesitant. He thought for a long time before sighing quietly: "There is no problem in doing this. I actually wanted to force the other party to take action as soon as possible, because as long as the other party's plan is disrupted, there will be mistakes in the plan. "
Zhou Jin became more and more confused as he listened: "Then why do you seem worried when my father does this?"
"I said what I'm worried about is not the plan itself, but why His Majesty is so eager."
Zhou Jin still couldn't understand what he meant and looked at him blankly.
Su Shi sighed: "Wu An, the old housekeeper of the General's Mansion, is sixty-eight years old this year. I drank with him all night last night because he will be going back to the countryside to retire in a few months."
Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi in shock because she couldn't figure out what Butler Wu had to do with what they were talking about.
Su Shi didn't look at her and continued: "Steward Wu is very aware of his body and knows that he doesn't have much time left, so he bought a few houses in his hometown as early as last year, preparing to spend the remaining few years with peace of mind. day."
Hearing this, Zhou Jin's expression suddenly changed, and a look of horror appeared on her pretty face.
