Mr. Xu said hehely, "What does it matter if I ask?"
Then, he lowered his voice and said seriously, "The closer we get to the capital, the more dangerous we may be. The prince will definitely take action. Please tell those people to cheer up and be careful."
"Mr. Xu, are you so sure that the prince will attack me on the way?" Li Qian just asked.
"You have to be careful, boy. He is the prince of the dynasty. If you touch his people, will he make it easier for you? Even if he doesn't do anything, the princelings will not let you go." Xu Lao said.
"A princeling?" Li Qian pondered a little.
"Yes, for example, Gao Guogong is a princeling, and he is also a very important figure among the princelings. You kid, don't forget that you still have a grudge against Duke Gao's palace." Xu Lao said.
Li Qian nodded, "I understand."
Then he continued to direct the craftsmen to modify the carriage.
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment. After talking for so long, he just understood and finished?
…
Prince's Mansion.
The prince asked Gao Guogong calmly while sipping tea.
"Does Mr. Gao know who Li Qian is?"
Although Gao Guogong is over seventy years old and his hair and beard are all white, his face is ruddy and full of vitality.
"The newly promoted royal noble discovered the salt mine and knew how to make salt. He was rewarded by His Majesty. The old minister also has some snow salt made by him in his home. It is indeed a rare salt in the world. How could the old minister not know this person! "
"Besides, this person has some intractable grievances with my Gao family!" Gao Guozheng said.
"Oh? He still has some unresolved grievances with the Gao family?" The prince put down the tea cup and suddenly became interested.
"This person, in Shiliang City, made my descendants of the Gao family lose all face. He even used drugs to control my descendants of the Gao family to achieve some of his goals. Your Highness, please tell me, is this a slap in the face of the old minister?" Gao The country is fair.
What happened in Shiliang City, he wanted to know, of course it was easy.
The prince smiled and said, "It seems like this Li Qian is really not that simple."
"He is indeed not simple. When he was just a villager, he played tricks on my two useless grandsons, and even forced the prefect of Shiliang to step down. Moreover, he was not merciless in killing people, and he has lost his life so far. There are probably thousands of people in his hands." Gao Guo was fair.
The prince's smile suddenly faded.
"According to what Gao Gong said, he is still an extremely cruel person?"
"Although I have never met this boy, the impression this boy gave me is that there is nothing he dares to do, and even if he does it, he is not afraid of the consequences, because he is still alive today. This is a fact. And it is said that , there were more than a dozen cottages, large and small, in Shiliang, and they were all wiped out by him, but he didn't lose a single soldier." Gao Guo was fair.
"No wonder Xu Qingfeng tried to pull him to Prince Jing's side. It seems that this boy is indeed a talent." The prince picked up the tea cup again and blew on the tea foam.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince also want to take this person into his pocket?" Gao Guogong couldn't help but ask.
"No, this person has no intention of taking refuge in me, otherwise he would not touch my people." The prince said.
"Does the prince want to get rid of him?" Gao Guogong asked again.
"Do you think this person should be eliminated, Duke Gao?" the prince asked.
"If the prince only has personal grudges, this person can certainly be eliminated." Gao Guogong simply said.
"Did Duke Gao mean something else?" the prince asked.
"That old man Xu Qingfeng has been dormant for so many years without making any move. This time, he deliberately planned to bring this Li Qian into the court. It is conceivable that he found a knife for Prince Jing to chop at His Highness the Crown Prince. !”
Duke Gao Guo paused as he spoke, "However, I think this sword is also difficult for him to control. If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing, he can use this sword to kill Prince Jing!"
The prince held the tea cup and began to ponder.
"I just asked a few people to convey my orders, but Li Qian made my people not come back. Does Gao Gong think this sword will obey my orders?"
"You are the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince. What you can give him is much more than what Prince Jing can give him. As far as I know, this person has no absolute enemies, only absolute interests. If His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to take advantage of this Sword, I have a way to make this sword useful to His Highness!" Gao Guozheng said.
"What can be done?" The prince couldn't help but ask.
"It can be said that he has a close relationship with the two grandsons of the old minister. This can bring us closer to him." Gao Guogong said.
The prince thought for a while, "If this sword cannot be used by me, it will never be used by Prince Jing!"
"Your Highness, please rest assured. If this sword really cannot be used by Your Highness, I will break it off!" Gao Guo said impartially.
Then he stood up and bowed to the prince, "Your Highness, before he enters the capital, I should go and make preparations."
"What preparations should Duke Gao make?" The prince couldn't help but ask.
"Send someone to assassinate him!" Gao Guogong raised his head and said.
"Send someone to assassinate him?" The prince was stunned.
