Chapter 80: Assassinating the King and Killing His Drivers, Disaster Begins in Jianghu
What is there about me that deserves their attention?
Zhao Mu looked at the letter in his hand, thinking in his heart.
However, after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why the other party was looking for him.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhuge Zhengwo stood up and said goodbye.
This made Zhao Mu even more confused.
This guy came here just to give money?
"Your Highness, Gongzi Yu has sent a message that he has already started the layout! When will Your Highness start?"
Zhao Mu was just thinking about it when Piaoxu walked in.
"I will leave tomorrow. As for the rest, he can decide for himself!"
Zhao Mu gave an order casually, and Piaoxu was about to turn around and leave, but Zhao Mu suddenly called her.
"Wait, let me ask Gongzi Yu, is there any connection between them and the Crown Prince of Song?"
Zhao Mu still felt a little uneasy. The timing of Zhuge Zhengwo's visit was too coincidental. This was easy to explain, after all, he had met Wuqing before.
But his purpose of coming here seemed a little strange.
Piaoxu nodded, turned and left.
Not long after, she came back with news.
"The Azure Dragon Society sent a message saying that not long ago, someone asked the Azure Dragon Society to help spread a batch of fake copper coins. Gongzi Yu found out that the person who issued the commission might be related to the Crown Prince!"
Hearing this, Zhao Mu reacted instantly.
His identity in the Qinglong Society has been exposed, and Zhuge Zhengwo came here to silence him.
He probably already knew about Zhao Mu's relationship with the Qinglong Society, so he was worried that the news of them spreading fake copper coins would spread, so he hinted at Zhao Mu.
If that is the case, then the bronze model case that is now causing a lot of controversy in the Song Dynasty was actually instigated by the prince.
Zhao Mu knew very well that the bronze mold was made by Cai Lan, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.
Cai Lan was highly valued by the emperor of the Song Dynasty and had great power in the government.
He was also greedy. Over the years, he had received countless bribes from the Northern Mang people. He was bent on suppressing the military generals of the Song Dynasty and making money from them.
The entire Song Dynasty court hated him to the core, but the emperor trusted him.
Now it seems that the prince wants to expose this matter and take the opportunity to overthrow Prime Minister Cai!
To this end, he even took the initiative to help spread fake copper coins, but the handle of this matter fell into the hands of the Qinglong Society.
"This prince of the Song Dynasty is also a ruthless man!"
Zhao Mu sighed in his heart that the influx of fake copper coins into the market would inevitably disrupt the order of the Song Dynasty, but the prince still did it.
It can be seen how determined he was to overthrow Prime Minister Cai.
However, Zhao Mu didn't want to get involved in this matter.
But it is possible to use this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the prince.
An idea suddenly came to Zhao Mu's mind.
"Piao Xu, help me send a letter to Shen Hou Mansion and hand it to Zhuge Zhengwo personally!"
Zhao Mu wrote a letter and handed it to Piaoxu.
After finishing everything, Zhao Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, everything was truly ready.
……
In the Imperial Palace of the Great Song Dynasty, inside the Prince’s Eastern Palace.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhao Zhen's hands were shaking.
"Master, this matter... is equivalent to treason. I..."
"Your Highness, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. The Song Dynasty is now poor and weak because of the treacherous people. We are just trying to clear the emperor's side and set things right!"
"Your Highness, if the Tang Dynasty had not experienced the Mawei Rebellion and the execution of Yang Guozhong, perhaps the Tang Dynasty would have perished during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong!"
Zhao Zhen lowered his head and remained silent. He only raised his head after a long time.
"Master, what are the chances of success in this matter?"
"Whether Your Highness succeeds or not has nothing to do with us! Your Highness, don't worry, at least we can use this to get rid of Prime Minister Cai!"
Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard this. "Tell Zhao Mu that I am willing to cooperate with him!"
Zhuge Zhengwo nodded, turned and left!
The next morning, Zhao Mu and his party left Bianliang.
As they were walking on the road, they heard bad news from the Qinglong Society: Young Master Yu was dead and the Qinglong Society was in chaos.
Zhao Mu knew that Gongzi Yu had already started to act.
He suddenly became a little excited.
The world of martial arts will be plunged into chaos from now on, and his plan will also begin.
A few days later, Zhao Mu finally returned to Yancheng.
Although he had only been gone for a month, Yao Yue and the others felt like each day was a year long.
Especially when everyone was looking at Pei Nanwei's gradually bulging belly and no one reacted, they were even more eager.
Now that Zhao Mu had just returned, the women surrounded him.
Over the past few days, Zhao Mu had hardly any rest.
That day, Zhao Mu was chatting with Shi Feixuan when he suddenly received a message from Cihang Jingzhai.
"Your Highness, something happened in Shuzhong!"
After reading the letter, Shi Feixuan's face suddenly changed.
"what happened?"
"The Azure Dragon Society is in turmoil, and a new sect has emerged in Shuzhong, called Tianxiahui. They have gathered a lot of forces from the Azure Dragon Society, and now they have the momentum to unify Shuzhong!"
Hearing this, Zhao Mu chuckled.
He did not tell anyone about his relationship with the Qinglong Society, but this was within his expectations.
"Piaoxu!" Zhao Mu shouted towards the door, and soon Piaoxu walked in.
"Notify your father, you can start now!"
Piaoxu nodded after hearing this, then turned and left.
Daming, inside the Hulong Villa.
Zhu Wusi looked at the Japanese man in front of him with a serious expression!
"What good will it bring to me if Wushen Juegong takes over the Central Plains?"
"The Divine Marquis should know that the Song Dynasty is poor and weak. If I take control of the Central Plains and gather the remaining forces of the Azure Dragon Society, I have the confidence to annex the Song Dynasty. By then, the Ming Dynasty will have my help and will be able to fight in the north and south!"
"Shen Hou, don't forget, I have the Hidden Sword School and the Japanese royal family behind me! Shen Hou should have heard of them!"
When Zhu Wusi heard the words "Hidden Sword Flow", his pupils suddenly shrank.
He did know it, and when he went to Japan, he came into contact with this mysterious Hidden Sword School.
At first, he was proud of his skills, but was easily defeated by a servant from the Hidden Sword School.
Therefore, he later arranged for Duan Tianya to go to Japan to learn skills.
However, the Hidden Sword School was too mysterious, and even Duan Tianya had never come into contact with them.
However, the shock that the Hidden Sword Flow brought to Zhu Wusi was like a sharp sword always hanging over his head.
"I can promise to help you take over the Central Plains. I hope you won't break your promise to me!"
Zhu Wusi was silent for a long time before he spoke!
"Of course. As a deal, when the Divine Marquis takes action, Japan will take control of Liaodong and contain the Liaodong border troops of the Ming Dynasty!"
The two looked at each other and said no more.
Zhu Wusi’s biggest hidden danger now is the Ming Dynasty’s border troops stationed in Liaodong.
Those people have been fighting with Beimang for years. They say they are fighting, but in fact they are just nurturing the enemy for their own benefit. But precisely because of this, those people are the most uncontrollable.
Even Zhu Wusi could not defeat the Liaodong army.
Now that this last large army has been tied down, he can carry out his next plan more leisurely.
"Someone come here!" After seeing off Jue Wushen, Zhu Wusi also began to make preparations.
"Notify the ten generals to enter the capital!"
