"Hhh ..." Clasping the 2 letters in his hand, Xiang Guang could not help but laugh loudly.
"Zhen Xu really didn't disappoint me. 200,000 additional soldiers in secret, with so many soldiers, their own expenditure would be overwhelming. If Qin De did not want to rebel, why did he make more soldiers? Maybe he doesn't like to have a lot of money? " Xiang Guang laughed coldly.
Zhen Xu had been in charge of the intelligence agencies in the 3 regions of the Eastern region in just half a year but he had discovered the truth behind many things.
"Your Majesty, now Qin De has secretly recruited an additional 200,000 soldiers, but the Black Water bandits have restrained his forces. He would not dare to mobilize his entire army. Otherwise, the Black Water bandits would have put their territory in chaos. So, basically we don't have to worry about anything" said the crooked-nosed man from the dark corner behind him.
Xiang Guang put down the letter in his hand and said, "What do you know? Although the leadership of the Black Water bandits had been rendered ineffective because the herd was unruly, they were still mere bandits. Qin De just needs to give them some advantages and they will not cause any problems. Qin De could still declare war on the Xiang clan with 800,000 soldiers. "
"Your Majesty is absolutely brilliant." Said the crooked-nosed man while bowing.
"Zhen Xu has found evidence that in 3 Eastern regions, supplies of soldiers, weapons and so on have been prepared to some degree. An additional 200,000 more of these soldiers had been active and moreover, they had been active for over 5 years as an expeditionary force, all of them showing clearly that Qin De really wanted to rebel!" Xiang Guang's eyes immediately emitted a cold ray of light.
This crooked-nosed man did not dare to make a sound.
"Well, this is rebellion." Xiang Guang unexpectedly had a slight sense of satisfaction on his face. "Remember, immediately send someone to negotiate with the black water bandits, offer gold, gems, gems, or possessions and so on and tell them to attack and make the 3 eastern regions fall into chaos when war breaks out!"
The crooked-nosed man thought for a moment and said: "What if those bandits are too greedy?"
"Idiot!" Xiang Guang suddenly turned around and looked at the crooked-nosed man. "It doesn't matter what the price is, you have to get them to agree. You can even promise them a territory after the war. "
"Offer a territory?" The man with the crooked nose was surprised. Then he understood too. "His Majesty has understood. Even if we give a territory to them, they won't be lucky to enjoy it. "After following Xiang Guang for so many years, he knew very well about Xiang Guang's character.
Xiang Guang nodded in satisfaction: "You are clever. After Qin De was destroyed, they were nothing more than a bunch of insignificant bandits. I just need to give the order and they will be destroyed, it's just that I can take advantage of them at this time.
"Your Majesty is brilliant. Now I know what to do. "The crooked-nosed man responded.
Xiang Guang read the other letter and said: "Uncle Shangguan's letter has also confirmed everything Zhen Xu has found."
The crooked-nosed man rolled his eyes, then suddenly said: "There is another alternative, Your Majesty. To catch the rebels, we'd best catch the leader first. We can secretly send someone to kill Qin De. This way, they will become a leaderless group, so if we send our army to attack, we can definitely destroy the Qin clan easily. "
"Stupid!" Xiang Guang said with a cold laugh.
The body of the bent-nosed man immediately shook.
"If we send an assassin now, needless to say, we're not even sure the murder will succeed, even if the killer succeeds, the Qin clan can immediately change its leader. According to what I know, among her three children, except for the 3rd child, which is not much reported, her two sons are truly extraordinary. Moreover, when the assassination actually happened, the Qin clan would be completely enraged and attack. The strength of their 800,000 soldiers, is really not a thing to be made joking," Xiang Guang said coldly.
"Instead, if we kill him, the Qin clan must suspect that Shangguan Hong has betrayed us so that we will lose more than we get. Do you understand?" Said Xiang Guang by staring at the crooked-nosed man
The crooked-nosed man hurriedly said "Sorry for my stupidity!".
A hint of complacency appeared on Xiang Guang's face "We won't kill him. We will let the Qin clan rebel and let the Shangguan clan help them. After the Qin clan completely lowered their guard, at the crucial moment during the war the Shangguan clan would switch sides and stab the Qin clan fiercely from behind. Humph, let's see if that Qin clan can still avoid destruction! ".
The eyes of the crooked-nosed man instantly turned bright. He said hurriedly, "Your Majesty is brilliant. If we stab them at a crucial moment during the war then attack with our armored cavalry, we will be able to destroy the Qin clan easily. "
Xiang Guang was very satisfied with his own ruse. He nodded and said indifferently, "Alright, you should do your duty right now. Try every way to get support from these black water bandits. Gold, gems, beautiful women, treasures and so on that could, anything could be used. You should be able to get them to agree to wreak havoc on the Qin clan territory during the war. As for the Qin clan and the Shangguan clan, we will only pretend to know nothing. "
"I understand. I'm permission to beg. "The crooked-nosed man said as he bowed himself. Then his body vanished like lightning.
After a while, the crooked-nosed man appeared in a manor.
"Darling, you're back." A beautiful woman he had married walked towards him.
"Dad," the handsome boy also ran up to him. The crooked-nosed man lifts his son into an embrace. He also hugged his wife and said "Honey, let's go back to our room. It's cold in here." Every servant in the manor respected him greatly.
The crooked-nosed man gently hugged the beautiful woman to his chest and said "Don't worry, dear. How do I not know that this is a dangerous job? But I know too much about the Emperor's secrets so I really can't refuse to do as I'm told. Don't worry, given that Xiang Guang still has a bit of wisdom, I'm still sure, I can handle it. "
The crooked-nosed man suddenly frowned and pondered: "Look at Xiang Guang's character, when he found out about the fact that Qin De was about to rebel, he said, he must have sent someone to kill Qin De early. Why is it that this time he suddenly calmed down and even pretended to know nothing and let the Shangguan clan become the opposition ?."
As the head of Xiang Guang's secret service, how could that crooked-nosed person really be stupid?.
Everything he did in the imperial study room was just a charade. If he wanted to be trusted by Xiang Guang, he had to let Xiang Guang detect his weakness. However, how could he really let the Emperor detect his own weakness? Therefore, it is best to deliberately pretend that he has some weaknesses.
The crooked-nosed man's guess is true. There was actually still someone behind Xiang Guang. If Xiang Guang was truly intelligent, he would not have done that foolishness in the past.
...
In the previous courtyard, Qin De was looking up at the sky with both hands folded behind his back.
"Looking at Xiang Guang's character, maybe he'll try to kill me directly." Qin De smiled. In his mind, Xiang Guang did not deserve any attention at all. Although Xiang Guang was not stupid, in terms of strategy, he was still a very far off to be considered an expert.
Xu Yuan on one hand said: "Your Majesty, even if Xiang Guang sends an assassin, we still don't know if the Shangguan clan is trustworthy or not. If Zhen Xu finds some information, Xiang Guang can also deduce from what Zhen Xu got that we want to rebel and Xiang Guang then send someone to kill His Majesty."
Indeed indeed.
Even if there was an assassination attempt, it was still impossible to say that the Shangguan clan had betrayed them.
"Do we need to find out if the Shangguan clan will betray us?" Qin De asked with a smile.
Xu Yuan also laughed out loud.
Do they need to know clearly about it?
The purpose of this negotiation was not to attract the Shangguan clan but to create some entertainment. This negotiation, just to produce the effect desired by the Qin clan.
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed, we are holding these negotiations just to make some entertainment. It doesn't matter if the Shangguan clan will betray us or not because the end of this clan is already decided. We will not give the Shangguan clan a chance to stab the Qin clan from behind during the war. "
No matter what happens, the Qin clan does not tolerate mistakes. The Qin clan would never give a chance to the Shangguan clan.
"According to my estimation, Xiang Guang will bribe some Black Water bandits with some precious objects and so on" Qin De said with a laugh.
Xu Yuan also laughed.
"There's a secret letter from the Prince's Mansion, Your Majesty." A man ran to the courtyard and handed over a secret letter. Xu Yuan immediately accepted it and passed it on to Qin De.
"What happened at the mansion again?" Qin De opened the secret letter and glanced at it. His eyes instantly turned bright "Ha-ha, Heaven has helped me. This time Yu'er has given me great help. I have always been worried about the 2 Eternal in the Xiang clan. Now, by owning this treasure, I'm sure. Ha-ha, this is really great."
At this moment, Qin De's excitement was indescribable.
"Is there anything particularly exciting?" Xu Yuan next to him was very curious. Qin De immediately gave him a letter to read. As soon as Xu Yuan read it, he was very pleased. He immediately said, "Congratulations Your Majesty. Congratulations Your Majesty."
Qin De laughed out loud and said: "This time Yu'er has given me such great help. When I get back I will definitely give him a very good gift. "OK, Xu Yuan, quickly prepare people. We'll return to the prince's mansion as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xu Yuan said immediately while bowing. Qin De could not help but laugh. He never thought that the child to the third would give him a pleasant surprise. At first he thought it was just a hunk of high-tier Xian grade ore but now it had instead turned into a treasure that could be forged into a Holy Weapon.
Holy Weapon!
Xu Yuan on one hand completely understood how important this lump of In-rock Flaming iron was to Qin De.. In terms of importance, this hunk was equal to 200,000 soldiers, so how could Qin De not be as excited as a madman?
