Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

"You mean, your Wei family spent a lot of money to bribe my subordinates, and then they let your Wei family's children leave Chang'an?"

In the study, Xiao Huang looked at Wei Tao with dark eyes, his tone was colder than his eyes.

Facing Xiao Huang's sharp gaze, Wei Tao did not show a trace of fear or anxiety on his face, but nodded and said: "That's right, Your Highness, Chang'an City is so turbulent now, these children's affairs are related to our Jingzhaowei We, the Wei family, have no choice but to continue the family's bloodline, and we hope His Highness will forgive you."

Seeing that he had such courage at such a young age, Xiao Huang couldn't help but look sideways at him, but his face and tone were still cold: "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Wei Tao smiled slightly: "I am willing to serve His Highness King Qin."

Xiao Huang's eyes froze slightly, and he took a deep look at Wei Tao, but his expression remained calm, and he sneered, "Do you think I will believe you?"

Wei Tao still had a smile on his face, but suddenly changed the topic, and asked Xiao Huang instead: "Your Highness, you know that Guanzhong is fertile and wild, but why does our Wei family send people to Hebei and Jiangnan to buy a lot of fertile land every year?" ?"

Although Wei Tao's words sounded wrong, Xiao Huang could hear the meaning behind his words, but he still didn't say yes or no, and didn't say a word.

Wei Tao took a look at Xiao Huang, and continued to say unhurriedly: "Because if there is a disaster in Guanzhong one year and the wheat harvest fails, our Wei family still has a good harvest of wheat in Hebei, even if the whole north suffers a disaster, we The Wei family can still count on rice from the south."

Although he still didn't say it clearly, Wei Tao's meaning is already obvious. Most of the Wei family support the imperial court, while he, Wei Tao, takes refuge in Xiao Huang, placing bets on both sides. Can make a steady profit.

Seeing that Wei Tao has made it clear to this point, Xiao Huang no longer pretends to be confused, but quietly looks into Wei Tao's eyes, his eyes are a little deep, as if he wants to see through Wei Tao's eyes to see through Wei Tao's eyes. True thoughts, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You Wei family also think that I have the possibility of success?"

"It's not the Wei family, but I, Wei Tao, are optimistic about His Highness." Wei Tao shook his head and corrected with a smile, "If I help His Highness achieve great things, His Highness will not treat me badly if you want to come, treat our Wei family badly."

Xiao Huang's face turned cold: "Now that the court has declared me, Xiao Huang, to be a traitor, but you openly take refuge in me at this moment, aren't you afraid of implicating the entire Wei family and making the entire Wei family be punished by the court?"

"Your Highness said that because he underestimated our Wei family." Wei Tao smiled playfully, "Your Highness should have heard a saying called 'a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family'. Our Jingzhao Wei family has existed for hundreds of years. I don't know how many dynasties and emperors can stand upright, so they naturally have their own way of survival, so even if I take refuge in His Highness, the Wei family will have a way not to implicate themselves."

Xiao Huang nodded secretly in his heart, he naturally knew that these aristocratic families like to place multiple bets, so as to ensure that his family's interests would not be damaged under any circumstances, and even took the opportunity to go further.

Even so, he still couldn't see a trace of joy on his face. Instead, he sneered and asked, "You and I have never met before, how can you be optimistic about me?"

Wei Tao smiled lightly: "If there is no possibility of success, why did His Highness raise an army?"

Xiao Huang took another deep look at Wei Tao, a smile finally appeared on his face, but then he continued to ask: "Why do I have to use you?"

Wei Tao knows that Xiao Huang believes that he is sincere to serve him, and now he is testing how much real talent he has.

He didn't show any timidity, instead he said with a playful smile: "It's just because I can see His Highness's intention to stick to Chang'an and stand still."

"Oh? Really? Let's hear it." Xiao Huang was still expressionless and calm.

Wei Tao didn't say it directly, but walked slowly to the huge map hanging on the wall, pointed his folding fan at the depths of Mobei, and smiled faintly: "The reason why your Highness stands still is to wait for the Dihu people to go south."

No matter how calm Xiao Huang was, his expression suddenly changed. He stared at Wei Tao for a long time before asking coldly, "How did you know that?"

Wei Tao shook his head, smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't be nervous, no one leaked the news, all this is just my own speculation, but just now His Highness's expression told me that my guess is not wrong."

It was only then that Xiao Huang realized his gaffe, and accidentally revealed his flaws, but the matter had come to this point, he did not deny it, and could only ask in a cold voice: "Then tell me, how did you deduce that I Waiting for the Dihu people to go south."

"It's very simple!" Wei Tao explained calmly, "His Royal Highness raised troops against the imperial court. It was supposed to be resolved quickly, because the longer it drags on, the easier it is for the army to become chaotic. His Highness must have other plans. It is very likely that there are other backhands who can break the deadlock, and this backhand is the Dihu people who are far away in Mobei, because only the Dihu people go south can disrupt the imperial court's deployment. , Your Highness has a chance to break the game."

Xiao Huang didn't speak, just quietly looked at Wei Tao who was talking eloquently, and finally said slowly: "It seems that you are really not simple."

In just a few words, it can be regarded as a recognition of Wei Tao's ability.

Wei Tao knew that he finally fell into Xiao Huang's eyes, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Huang suddenly changed the subject and asked coldly: "But I still want to know the real reason, why did you come here?" Work on me."

Faced with Xiao Huang's aggressive questioning, Wei Tao's face flashed a little unnatural, but in the end he smiled wryly: "I really can't hide from His Highness's eyes, yes, the reason why I seek refuge with Your Highness is not just to help His Highness achieve a success." Fan Daye is even more aimed at dealing with Xiao Jie and Tai Shizheng."

"To deal with Xiao Jie and Tai Shizheng?" Xiao Huang was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but then quickly remembered the grievances between them and the Wei family.

Wei Tao nodded heavily, his eyes flickering coldly: "That's right, when our Wei family was defeated in the confrontation with Xiao Jie, our Wei family lost tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Sizhou, and I was also driven back to Chang'an by my father to study. My father can admit defeat frankly, but I can't swallow this breath. Now that I help His Highness, I not only want to take back everything that was robbed by Xiao Jie, but I also want to let the world know that I, Wei Tao, are by no means inferior to Tai Shizheng !"

Xiao Huang suddenly realized, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy for Wei Tao, of course he knew the pain and unwillingness to be subordinated to others, the reason why he came to this point, after all, was to prove to his father and the world that , isn't Xiao Huang worse than Xiao Jie?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a knowing smile, stepped forward and patted Wei Tao's shoulder lightly and said: "Okay, I understand, don't worry, if you and I join forces, we don't believe that we can't beat Xiao Jie and Tai Shizheng."

Wei Tao also nodded, then glanced at the map, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, with all due respect, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until the Dihu people go south."
