Zhao Mu naturally knew that his father valued Lu Buwei, and what Xiang Shaolong said was reasonable and reasonable. There was no flaw found so far, but he still didn't dare to admit it and just kept silent.
Xiang Shaolong continued: "I just told Mr. Hou the information. I still have my own tasks and I am not able to continue to deal with this matter. Mr. Hou can also wait for your order, but I want to strengthen the Proton Mansion immediately no matter what." There is nothing wrong with the guards. As for protecting me as an official, there is no need. I still have my own things to do. It is impossible for me to come to Juluhou Mansion to work, and there is no need to contact me again in the future. "
Zhao Mu couldn't help but ask: "Why did you come to HD?"
When Xiang Shaolong heard his question, he knew that he began to believe him, and said: "It has nothing to do with the Marquis. If I need help from the Marquis, I will naturally tell him. If I don't need help, I will leave after completing the task." HD." He said and was about to leave with a fist in his arms.
Zhao Mu hurriedly said: "Shaolong, wait a minute. Is there a problem with the Wu family?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Master Hou, you don't have to worry about this matter. If necessary, your Majesty will give you orders." After a pause, he continued: "Master Hou, I have something to say to you. The Wu family is powerful, and the Wu family is loyal to the King of Zhao. If the Marquis wants to be just a powerful official in the Zhao Kingdom, the Wu family will have to eradicate it with all their strength, but the Zhao Kingdom will suffer heavy losses. But if the Marquis can replace the King of Zhao , I wonder if I can control the Wu family and turn it into my own help?"
Zhao Mu was shocked, he did not expect Xiang Shaolong to make such a suggestion.
Xiang Shaolong secretly said: "My official position cannot let me take the bait, but the throne should let you take the bait."
Zhao Mu finally couldn't bear the huge temptation and asked, "Who do you mean by this?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty has already had this intention, but he has not made up his mind yet. Let me tell the Marquis another piece of news. Li Yuan dedicated his sister Li Yanyan to Your Majesty. Now he is a popular person in front of Your Majesty, and once Li Yanyan If she is pregnant, she will be presented to the King of Chu, reenacting the scene where Lu Buwei gave Zhu Ji to a foreigner. By then, the Kingdom of Chu will be completely under the control of the king, but if you become King Zhao at that time, what if you don't Being controlled by your Majesty is not what your Majesty wants. After all, Chu State is your roots. So if you can really control Chu Kingdom, Your Majesty hopes that the Marquis can maintain the current status quo, that is, he can influence Zhao State. We are under the control of your Majesty, and if we take another step forward, we may lose control."
Zhao Mu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Father, you want me to make way for that bastard."
Seeing that he finally admitted it, Xiang Shaolong knew that he believed him. It's no wonder that he believed in himself. He was familiar with the original work. It was like turning on a plug-in and betting on his opponent's cards. There was no reason not to win.
Xiang Shaolong said: "What I want to tell Mr. Hou is that Li Yuan may not be reliable. If Li Yanyan really becomes the queen and gives birth to a prince, I am afraid that the king will not be able to control him. My status is not suitable for saying too much. But the Marquis can. That’s all I’ll say below. The rest is up to the Marquis himself. And Li Yuan may not know the identity of the Marquis. The Marquis should be more careful and take precautions in the future.” He was giving this to Zhao. Mu was given a precaution. If he encountered an assassination in the future, he would be the first to suspect Li Yuan. Don’t say too much, ambiguity is best.
Zhao Mu suddenly realized that it seemed that the reason why Shaolong revealed to him the plan to replace King Zhao was because of the bad relationship between him and Li Yuan, and he did not want Li Yuan to gain power. She believed Xiang Shaolong's identity in her heart, and even felt that he wanted to defect to her to get rid of being suppressed by Li Yuan.
Zhao Mu didn't take Li Yuan seriously and said, "Shaolong, I will report this matter to my father. Now what do you think about the matter of Zhu Ji and her son?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "I don't have any ideas. I came to HD for a short time and have not specifically investigated Zhu Ji's matter. This is not within the scope of my mission. I just received the message and told Mr. Hou what I wanted to do." , the Marquis can just make his own decision."
Zhao Mu said: "Shaolong is a great talent. I can't bear Shaolong leaving. How about Shaolong stay here and help me with all his strength. I will not treat Shaolong lightly."
Xiang Shaolong remained silent and seemed very moved, but he still shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for your kindness. We will talk about the future later."
Seeing that he didn't agree immediately, Zhao Mu seemed to be embarrassed to refuse, and his heart became even more eager and trusting of him.
Xiang Shaolong seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhao Mu said: "Shaolong, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up. I will definitely obey your words."
Xiang Shaolong said: "I didn't care about this matter anymore, but since Mr. Hou trusts me, I will say a few more words. It may not be right. Mr. Hou, think about it. After all, I am not very familiar with HD. Why don't you keep it secret? Zhu Ji and her son moved to a place within their control, and at the same time they increased the guards of Proton Mansion with great fanfare, making the Proton Mansion impregnable, causing them to suffer heavy losses even if they captured the Proton Mansion. Then they used dead soldiers to pretend to be Zhu Ji, mother and son, if they could really attack it Next to Zhu Ji, use fake Zhu Ji to catch them off guard."
Zhao Mu was overjoyed and said: "What a plan! Shaolong really did not disappoint you. With Shaolong helping me, Lu Buwei will definitely not be able to do what he wants this time. Shaolong doesn't know something. Even if he can rescue the person, it will be useless. The proton is What I raised only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and you will be a waste when you go back."
Xiang Shaolong said: "How do you know he is not pretending? For Lu Buwei, the most important thing is his identity, and maybe Lu Buwei also hopes that he is a waste."
Zhao Mu got a little carried away and continued: "How can he be pretending like this since he was a child? Even if he is pretending, it's okay. He has already been poisoned by me. As long as he leaves me, he will definitely die."
Xiang Shaolong said: "This way, everything is safe. Their focus must be on the protons, not Zhu Ji. Then they will lose their troops." He smiled secretly in his heart: "The real protons are already in their hands. All they need to do is rescue Zhu Ji." Can."
Zhao Mu said: "Without further delay, I will secretly transfer Zhu Ji and her son to my houfu tonight, strengthen the guards of the Proton Mansion, and then wait for the good show to unfold. Shaolong will enjoy those two beauties in my house first. , come with me in the evening to transfer Zhu Ji and her son."
Xiang Shaolong didn't expect that he would take the initiative to let him contact Zhu Ji, and couldn't help asking: "Do you still need me to transfer them?"
Zhao Mu said: "It's confidential at this time. If there are more people, it's easier to leak the information. Only Shaolong is the most reliable. It's just you and me who will pick them up." He also wanted to express his trust in Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Isn't two people too few? What if there is an accident?"
Zhao Mu said: "That's enough. We just need to ensure that they are not rescued. We are not trying to protect them. If there is an accident, we can just kill them without rescuing anyone alive."
Xiang Shaolong secretly said: "Ruthless enough!"
Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Go and enjoy it first. After you follow me, you will have no shortage of money, beauties, and power."
Xiang Shaolong was in a good mood thinking that he would be able to see Zhu Ji today, but instead of enjoying the two beauties, he said: "I came to the Marquis Mansion and my purpose has been achieved. I can't stay any longer. If I stay any longer, I will be blackmailed." The family is suspicious. I still want to stay in the Wu family and gain their trust, so I have to go back as soon as possible. I will come to the Marquis quietly at night without anyone noticing, and I will go back to Wujiapu immediately after I am done."
Seeing that he was not seduced by beauty, Zhao Mu secretly praised him and said, "I will prepare a carriage at the back door. When you come, get into the carriage. I will put on makeup and drive the carriage myself."
Xiang Shaolong said: "How dare you ask the Marquis to drive the carriage? I should be the one to drive the carriage."
Zhao Mu said: "We are going to do things, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. I am familiar with the situation. You should not show your face on the carriage from beginning to end. Just watch over them while I bring them into the carriage. Once they get off the carriage and settle down, you can leave."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Okay, let's go when I come in the evening." He turned and left.
At night, Xiang Shaolong wore night clothes and had a "triangular military thorn" tied to his leg, and quietly came to the back door of the Marquis Mansion. I saw a carriage. The driver was wearing a bamboo hat and coarse linen clothes. If I looked carefully, it was Zhao Mu.
Xiang Shaolong didn't say anything and got into the carriage. Zhao Mu drove up the carriage and walked towards the Proton Mansion.
After entering the Proton Mansion and picking people up in the car, Xiang Shaolong didn't show up, and the two of them didn't communicate at all.
The night was so dark that Xiang Shaolong couldn't see Zhu Ji and the fake proton clearly, but he could still feel their fear. He did not dare to pass on any information to Zhu Ji, because this fake proton was really a waste and could only do bad things. He only had to find Zhu Ji alone and rescue Zhu Ji. Even he couldn't be sure that Zhu Ji, mother and son, were real.
When they arrived at the Houfu, Zhao Mu took Zhu Ji, mother and son, out of the car and settled them in an inconspicuous house in the Houfu. Xiang Shaolong still didn't get out of the car. He believed that although Zhu Ji knew there was someone in the car, she didn't know what this person looked like at all.
Xiang Shaolong opened the car curtain and took advantage of the weak light in the room to look at Zhu Ji. He only took a rough look at her in the haze, so he didn't know clearly, but he believed that he would be able to identify her when he saw her again.
Zhao Mu settled Zhu Ji's mother and son, drove the carriage out of the back door, and then got on the carriage to talk to Xiang Shaolong. In the dark carriage, Zhao Mu whispered: "Okay, Shaolong can go."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Is it safe for the Marquis to place them in such a simple place?"
Zhao Mu said: "Don't worry, Proton is a waste, he doesn't want to be rescued at all. Zhu Ji is a powerful woman. Although she wants to go out, she dare not trust anyone in the palace, let alone reveal her Otherwise, if I find out, there will be no second chance. The more inconspicuous this place is, the less likely it will be suspected, and the more heavily guarded it is, the easier it will be to attract spies. "
Xiang Shaolong said: "Thank you, Mr. Hou! This is called darkness under the lamp. Then separate the proton from her, let her be here by herself, and bring the proton closer to Mr. Hou for easier control. Let them see Without the face, without the hostage, even if she escapes by herself, it will be useless, and she will not be willing to abandon the child."
Zhao Mu admired Xiang Shaolong's caution, which was a double insurance policy. Little did he know that Xiang Shaolong deliberately wanted to get rid of this fake hostage so that he could save Zhu Ji.
