Chapter 287 Hu Di's Poisonous Scheme Arises in Xinjing
The military advisor's name is Qijir, with the blood of Dajing and Hudi in his body. He is called a bastard by the people of Dajing and the most bullied bastard at the bottom of the Hudi tribe. He also hates his blood deeply, but who made his mother a Dajing person who was abducted to the Hudi tribe?
There, his mother was a slave, and he himself was also the son of a slave. In order to protect his mother and to stay alive, he used the knowledge he learned from his mother and climbed up step by step with his wit and caution. Knowing that Hu Di coveted Dajing, he went through a lot of hardships and tried his best to learn everything about Dajing.
He gritted his teeth and crawled and persevered, and finally climbed to the side of the tribal leader and became a think tank and military advisor. He thought he could hold his head high from then on, but he didn't expect to be still a beast of burden.
He didn't want to be a slave who was worse than an animal anymore. He wanted to be a superior person, let his mother spend her old age in peace, and even wanted her to return to the south.
It’s a pity that the people of Dajing are so feudal and old-fashioned. When my mother came back like this, she was met with nothing but contempt, insults and scorn.
But if Dajing was destroyed and Hudi unified the world, if I could make great achievements, why would I worry about not being able to gain status and identity?
At this moment, after hearing the Marshal's words, Zigier's heart was deeply moved.
After hesitating for a long time, Zigier stepped out and knelt in the middle of the lambskin carpet, right next to the knife that was deeply embedded in the carpet.
"General, I have a plan. If it works, it may help our army escape from this predicament."
Jueluo was excited, and his body instantly leaned forward, looking at the bastard kneeling below him. His eyes flickered, but he still said, "Oh? I remember your name is Qijier, right? What's your plan? Just tell me. If it works, I will report to the king, grant you a noble birth, and give you cattle, horses, pastures, gold, silver and beauties."
After getting the guarantee, Zigier hurriedly clasped his fists and offered advice.
"Replying to the commander, according to my understanding, the Emperor of Dajing is fatuous and arrogant, stubborn and self-willed. The officials in the court are content with pleasure, extravagant and debauched, and are greedy for money and afraid of death. There are very few people who can be used in the court. This is their shortcoming. For example, the commander-in-chief Shen Yue is young. Although he can convince the people with his ability, there are people who are jealous behind him. Moreover, the name of the Shen family army must have spread throughout Dajing after recovering lost territories one after another. How can the Emperor of Dajing not be on guard and fearful? In this case, why don't we make some arrangements and use a large sum of money to recruit one or two important officials of the Dajing court and instigate them. Isn't an emperor who flees when he encounters trouble afraid that his achievements will surpass his master and the people will be dissatisfied and overthrow his dynasty? Once the monarch and his ministers are suspicious of each other, then..."
"Then we can reap the benefits! Good, hahahaha, very good! Zijier, you are very good. In this way, this plan will be handed over to you. All the tribes and even the royal court will cooperate with us. Before the war, I am waiting for your good news. Please don't let the king and me down."
Qijier was ecstatic, he knelt down and bowed his forehead to the ground, "Well, I will not live up to the expectations of my king and the commander."
Immediately afterwards, the Hu Di main camp secretly sent out several teams, some real and some fake, scattered in all directions. Among them, one team carried heavy boxes and cages, bypassed the direction of the attacking army, secretly crossed the river south and headed straight for Yuhang.
When Ji Mo sent messages to various Qijitangs, asking them to keep an eye on the Huang family in Wugui Fort and the whereabouts of Xu Miaoniang, and when he himself was leading Li Yaoguang back south, the two of them had not yet entered Yuhang, but a caravan carrying boxes and baskets from the north had already entered the city.
They disguised themselves as merchants and checked into the most expensive restaurants and inns in the city. They quietly spread out the people they brought with them. Three days later, a gorgeous three-story houseboat suddenly appeared on the West Lake, named Xiaoyaofang. The first person who stepped into Xiaoyaofang was the first person caught by the net.
On the way to the government office that day, Prime Minister Qin was stopped by Marquis Zhenwei.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Prime Minister Qin frowned in displeasure. Without waiting for any questions, the personal guard outside reported: "Prime Minister, it's Marquis Zhenwei."
Prime Minister Qin couldn't help but feel a headache, "Why is this guy here again!"
This guy has been looking for me lately, begging me to see him, and today he even blocked the street. He won't give up until he gets what he wants. Prime Minister Qin was disgusted and said to the curtain outside the carriage, "Just say that I'm tired and won't see any guests today. Go away."
"Here."
The guard outside responded and was about to go and solve the trouble, but he didn't want to be pestered by Zhenwei Hou and was afraid of missing another chance, so he didn't care about being in the street and making trouble. Zhenwei Hou kicked his horse's belly and suddenly attacked, rushed to the side of the car and shouted urgently towards the window.
"My Lord Prime Minister, I have a deal to discuss with you. It is extremely urgent and concerns the safety of the Prime Minister. Do you really not want to listen?"
Prime Minister Qin, who originally did not want to deal with such a down-and-out duke, stopped dead in his tracks when he heard this.
It concerns his safety? Oh, then he really wants to see what this poor fellow can say.
After some thought, Prime Minister Qin was really fed up with this guy's pestering, so he simply lifted the curtain and looked at the person outside, "What on earth does Lord Cheng want to find me for?"
Seeing the man, Marquis Zhenwei felt relieved, a smile spread across his face, and he bowed to Prime Minister Qin, "This is of great importance, Prime Minister, are you sure you want me to speak here?"
Prime Minister Qin was silent, weighing the matter in his mind, thinking about where it would be safe and appropriate to speak, but Marquis Zhenwei spoke first.
"Prime Minister, I heard recently that there is a new pleasure boat on West Lake. It is a great place to go. How about inviting you to visit it today? Of course, to be on the safe side, please bring enough people with you."
"Ha!", who are you looking down on?
Prime Minister Qin secretly gave a look to the guards outside, who nodded immediately. Prime Minister Qin suddenly smiled, "Pavilion boat, I would like to see it... My Lord, please lead the way."
Prime Minister Qin was extremely powerful, although his strength had been weakened repeatedly in recent years. He was not afraid of the mere Marquis Zhenwei. He made a gesture of invitation and signaled the coachman to follow Marquis Zhenwei, who turned his horse around, and led a team of guards straight to Xiaoyaofang, which had been moored for a long time on the bank of West Lake.
The journey was smooth. After getting off the car and boarding the boat, the people led by Prime Minister Qin quickly inspected and occupied important positions on the pleasure boat. There was nothing unusual inside. Seeing this scene, Marquis Zhenwei thought to himself that the old man was afraid of death. However, thinking of the benefits promised by the boat owner behind the scenes and the handle that was held against him, Marquis Zhenwei did not show it on his face. He smiled and led the people into the private room on the third floor.
When Prime Minister Qin was invited to sit in the main seat, the pleasure boat quietly sailed into the center of the lake. Prime Minister Qin looked at the changing scenery outside the window calmly and snorted coldly. Thinking that he had already sent a message for reinforcements, the guards would arrive in a short while, so he was not afraid.
"My Lord, you went to great lengths to invite me here. Could it be that you want me to enjoy the lake view?"
"Haha, my Lord, that's not right. How can a mere lake view compare to the scenery in your house?"
"Hmph! If you have something to say, just say it. I like to get straight to the point."
"Hahaha, that's fine. Since you are so straightforward, I won't waste words. To be honest, sir, I am just acting as a matchmaker today. There is someone else looking for you."
