Chapter 110: Wei Xiaobao is exposed, Kangxi is furious
Shenlong Island is located on a major sea transportation route.
The most important thing is that the place where they are located can just prevent Japan from entering the Central Plains.
Given their size, they may not be able to stop the Japanese army, but they are enough as outposts.
In recent years, the Qing Dynasty has always wanted to occupy Shenlong Island. However, although Shenlong Island is not large in area, the entire island is almost entirely populated by the Shenlong Sect. Moreover, there are many masters in the Shenlong Sect. They have tried many times but failed to capture Shenlong Island.
Now Kangxi is also having a headache because of these people.
If the problem of Shenlong Island could be resolved peacefully now, he would not have to worry about his rear.
"Your Highness Prince Mu, do you really have a way to convince Shenlong Island to surrender?"
Kangxi still had some doubts in his heart. Over the years, he had tried to appease the Shenlong Sect, but that group of people was stubborn and unrepentant.
Zhao Mu has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and he has no idea how confident he is about this matter!
"Of course! After all, this matter concerns the great plan between me and the Emperor, I dare not let my guard down!"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi nodded slightly.
He believed that Zhao Mu had come all the way here and must be very concerned about this matter. The problem of Shenlong Island was not only a problem for his Qing Dynasty, but also related to whether their plan could succeed.
Zhao Mu wouldn't joke about this matter.
But when Wei Xiaobao heard this, he seemed a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter. The Shenlong Cult is stubborn and stubborn. Even if His Royal Highness Prince Mu has a persuasive tongue, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince them! Just hand these people over to me for disposal!"
Wei Xiaobao didn't want Zhao Mu to interfere in this matter, as this was a credit he had gained with great effort.
He was also counting on this matter to win favor in front of Kangxi!
"Master Wei, right?" Zhao Mu knew very well what Wei Xiaobao was thinking. He would not let this guy ruin his plan.
Moreover, Zhao Mu really looked down on Wei Xiaobao.
This guy was originally from Liaodong. After Liaodong was occupied by the Qing Dynasty, a group of local gangsters gathered together to form the Tiandihui to fight against the Liao and Jin dynasties.
And this Wei Xiaobao is the undercover agent sent by the Tiandihui. Unfortunately, power breeds people's hearts, and he has now betrayed the Tiandihui.
He completely became a running dog of the Qing court.
"The land is high and the mountains and streams are beautiful!"
Zhao Mu put three fingers together and looked at Wei Xiaobao.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xiaobao was shocked. He didn't understand why Zhao Mu knew the secret codes and hand gestures of the Tiandihui.
But Zhao Mu's behavior at this moment clearly showed that he had seen through his identity.
Kangxi looked at Zhao Mu curiously, a little surprised.
"Your Highness Prince Mu, this is..."
"This is the Tiandihui's code for contact! Your Majesty, this Lord Wei is the leader of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui!"
When Zhao Mu said this, Kangxi was instantly shocked.
"Your Highness Prince Mu, this joke is not funny at all!"
Wei Xiaobao's face was stiff, and he tried hard to force a smile, hoping to get away with it.
"You should have the word Qingming tattooed on the sole of your foot, right? The Tiandihui was fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. You only tattooed the word Qingming to make it easier for you to infiltrate the palace!"
Zhao Mu turned his head to look at Kangxi and chuckled.
"Your Majesty can go check it out. Although he is cautious, he still has flaws!"
As soon as Zhao Mu said this, Wei Xiaobao immediately fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, this was all forced upon me by the Tiandihui gang. I didn't want to be associated with them, but I couldn't beat them, so I had no choice but to surrender!"
"But I can swear that I have never done anything wrong to the emperor!" Kangxi stared at Wei Xiaobao in disbelief. He had never imagined that the person he trusted most was actually an undercover agent of the Tiandihui.
He believed that Wei Xiaobao had never done anything to let him down, but he could not accept this betrayal.
"Wei Xiaobao, you are very good. The good thing is that you even deceived me!"
Kangxi laughed in anger, his ferocious eyes full of murderous intent.
Wei Xiaobao was so scared that he almost wet his pants and kept begging for mercy.
"According to the Qing Dynasty law, the crime of deceiving the emperor shall be punished by extermination of all nine generations of the clan. However, considering our friendship, I will give you a chance to make amends for your crime!"
Wei Xiaobao felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly crawled forward on his knees.
"Your Majesty, I will do as you say!"
"Since you are a member of the Tiandihui, you must have a way to contact them!"
"Doron, take your men with you to accompany Lord Wei down! You know what to do!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, Duolong came up.
Wei Xiaobao knew that he had no other choice but to follow Duolong and retreat.
After the two left, Kangxi looked at Zhao Mu curiously and spoke.
"Wei Xiaobao has been lurking beside me for many years, and I have never discovered him. How did His Royal Highness Prince Mu know his identity?"
"Your Majesty should know that in the martial arts world, each sect has different martial arts styles. Wei Xiaobao is also a martial artist, and his internal skills are mixed. But I just saw that his steps were steady, and his toes were restrained when they touched the ground. It was obvious that he had practiced the Divine Movement Skill!"
"This martial art is the unique skill of Chen Jinnan, the chief leader of the Tiandihui!"
"That's why I guessed that he was related to the Tiandihui. As for the others, they were all scams!"
Zhao Mu made up an excuse to get away with it.
Although Kangxi was the emperor, he didn't know much about the affairs of the underworld.
He wasn't too sure about the martial arts techniques, but now that Wei Xiaobao had already pleaded guilty, he wouldn't be able to escape this matter.
Zhao Mu helped him catch the traitor around him, and he didn't pursue the matter further.
As for the people from the Shenlong Sect, he handed them over to Zhao Mu.
After returning to his residence, Suo Etu handed Su Quan and others over to Zhao Mu, and then left with his men.
Zhao Mu and a few others were the only ones left in the yard.
Fat Monk stared at Zhao Mu fiercely, but he had no idea what this guy was planning.
They naturally knew Wei Xiaobao's identity. At the beginning, Wei Xiaobao used his identity as the leader of the Tiandihui to persuade them to come to Shengjing, but in the end they fell into his trap.
Now, Zhao Mu has saved their lives.
But Zhao Mu’s purpose has been made very clear. He wants to help the Qing Dynasty pacify Shenlong Island.
They won't give in so easily.
Zhao Mu knew that these guys didn't believe him, but he didn't explain too much.
This is the house given to him by Soetu. Given Kangxi's cautiousness, how could he not arrange people to monitor him?
Zhao Mu untied the restraints on several people and said, "Sit down! Don't even think about running away. This is Shengjing, you can't run away!"
"Don't worry about it. We will not surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Just kill us all!"
The fat monk stared at Zhao Mu without any fear.
"It doesn't matter. I'll know whether it succeeds or not when I see Hong Antong. Now you just need to be obedient!"
"This way, you may be able to save your lives! At least with me here, you won't die!"
