Chapter 34: Haitang's identity revealed, tensions rise

Hearing this, Shangguan Haitang was slightly stunned!
No one knew the identity of his woman except Tiedan Shenhou.

Even Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao didn't know, but Zhao Mu in front of them revealed his identity in one sentence, which was really magical.

No wonder my godfather said he was terrible, it turned out to be true.

Haitang sighed secretly in her heart, but said with an expressionless face!
"The Ninth Prince is indeed very perceptive. Haitang admires him!"

"However, Ninth Prince, please keep the identity of Haitang girl a secret!"

"Of course!" Zhao Mu chuckled. The reason why he revealed Haitang's identity was just to warn the other party, hoping that this woman would back down. But now it seems that this girl obviously didn't understand!

In that case, Zhao Mu might as well play with her.

Anyway, it's better to keep an insider by your side, who might be of use at a critical moment!
Haitang followed and got on the carriage, and the group headed off into the distance!

The scenery of the Northland, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Although there was a fire in the carriage, it couldn't block the cold wind outside!
Zhao Mu huddled in the carriage, wrapping himself tightly in his fur coat.

In his arms, Shi Feixuan was sleeping soundly.

Jiang Yuyan was warming the wine respectfully beside him!

"A few days ago, I heard that the Ninth Prince was granted the title of King Mu and the title of Fan Jiang. This is truly cause for celebration!"

Haitang looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but start a small talk.

"Yancheng is just a bitter and cold place, why would you want to celebrate?"

Zhao Mu naturally also received the news of Zhao Zhu's bestowal of a fief, but it was clear that this fiefdom was not meant to make his life easy!

Yancheng, bordered by Beiliang in the north, Bachu in the west, and Xiangfan City in the east, is the northwest border of Liyang.

If war breaks out in Liyang, Yancheng will be attacked from all sides!

There is no need to say much about Beiliang. What Zhao Zhu did back then has completely offended Xu Xiao. For many years, he has been on guard against Beiliang.

The land of Bachu is within the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. Currently, the Great Sui Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles and is extremely unstable.

The only Xiangfan City was the fief of King Jing'an of Liyang.

Prince Jing'an is Zhao Zhu's younger brother. Although he cannot be considered his confidant, having Prince Jing'an to restrain him from the side is also a disguised way of monitoring him.

Zhao Mu was granted the title of Yancheng, which was obviously planned by Zhao Zhu long ago!
If he makes any unusual move at that time, Prince Jing'an can send troops at any time to resist his eastward advance.

As for Xu Xiao in the north, it is completely uncertain whether he will be an enemy or a friend at that time.

Zhao Zhu's move can be said to be far-sighted!
"No matter what, the Ninth Prince's title of Prince is worth celebrating!"

Shangguan Haitang naturally knew the reason behind this, but she couldn't say much about the internal disputes in Liyang!
Seeing Shangguan Haitang change the subject, Zhao Mu sneered in his heart!
This girl wants to find out some information but doesn't dare to continue. Doesn't she seem to be very cautious?
Zhao Mu believed that at this moment, Xu Xiao's letter requesting a marriage alliance must have appeared on Zhao Zhu's desk.

That's why Zhao Zhu arranged Zhao Mu to be next to Xu Xiao.

Firstly, it was to test Xu Xiao, and secondly, once the two formed an alliance in the future, given the geographical location of Yancheng, with Wudang between it and Beiliang, Xu Xiao would not be able to rescue Yancheng in time even if he wanted to!
They could only watch as Prince Jing'an's army approached.

Once Prince Jing'an sends troops, if Northern Liang attacks Xiangfan City, Prince Jing'an will be in danger.

This was also a test for Prince Jing'an.

Zhao Zhu's move killed three birds with one stone.

By allowing the three of them to gather together, in a way, he was deliberately allowing these three potential threats to Li Yang to gather together.

If any of them makes any unusual move, he can use it as an excuse to eliminate all three parties together!
Zhao Zhu knew these things, Zhu Wusi knew them, and Shangguan Haitang naturally knew them as well.

She brought this up clearly to test the relationship between Zhao Mu and Xu Xiao.

But I didn't dare to ask further.

It can be seen that this spy who is good at gathering intelligence is indeed cautious enough! "I heard that Miss Haitang is the owner of the No. 1 Manor in the world, and she has many strange people and things under her. I wonder when I can meet those strange people under your command?"

Zhao Mu fiddled with the charcoal fire and asked!
"If the Ninth Prince is interested, he can do so at any time! The gate of the world's number one manor is always open to the Ninth Prince!"

"It's rare for Miss Haitang to take care of me like this. I'm actually a little flattered!"

"You are too polite, Ninth Prince. It is my blessing that you, with your majestic body, can come to the world's number one manor."

Shangguan Haitang spoke cautiously.

Although she had only exchanged a few words with Zhao Mu, she had already discovered that Zhao Mu in front of her was indeed a difficult person.

Originally I was the one gathering the information, but now Zhao Mu has turned the tables!

"The Divine Marquis was thoughtful enough to arrange for Miss Haitang to escort me this time!"

"However, Lord Shen is still worrying too much. I shouldn't be in any danger on my way back!"

Zhao Mu looked at Shangguan Haitang with a smile on his face, but those eyes made Shangguan Haitang feel scared.

She suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Zhao Mu seemed to have discovered something!
But she wasn't sure.

If this is true, Zhao Mu is too scary!

They only found out about that this morning!
"What's wrong? Miss Haitang, is there really any danger on my way?"

Zhao Mu asked again.

After hearing this, Shangguan Haitang became more and more certain that Zhao Mu might have already known it!
She was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly!

"Father has received news that Cao Zhengchun from the East Factory may be planning to secretly attack the prince!"

"Oh? Really?" Shangguan Haitang was suddenly shocked when she saw Zhao Mu's indifferent expression.

"Is the Ninth Prince not worried at all?"

"They should be the ones who are worried!" Zhao Mu twisted his neck and leaned his head against the window.

"The Ninth Prince already knew about this?"

"Of course!" Zhao Mu said, "Not only do I know about them, I also know that besides Cao Zhengchun, there are other people who want to attack me!"

"Who is it?" Shangguan Haitang hurriedly spoke, but found that Zhao Mu's eyes were fixed on her!

"What does this mean, Ninth Prince?"

"Aren't you here to look for Tianxiang Doukou?" Zhao Mu directly exposed Haitang's purpose of coming here.

Seeing that Zhao Mu already knew, Haitang was stunned.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is joking. I don't know what Tianxiang Doukou is!"

Zhao Mu did not argue with her, but just smiled faintly!

"Haitang, from the moment you appeared beside me, you have been abandoned!"

"You may not know, but your foster father definitely knows. Once you are exposed, there is no chance of you surviving in front of me!"

Shangguan Haitang stopped pretending to be stupid when she heard this.

"Ninth Prince, you are very confident! Haitang has no other skills, but he is good at escaping, and he thinks he can do it!"

"Oh? Do you want to try it?"

As soon as Zhao Mu finished speaking, Shangguan Haitang felt a breath locking onto him instantly!
"Grandmaster's Great Perfection?"
