Quick Wear Binding Rescue System
Chapter 52: Saving the General 3
He Zhiqiu listened to Mu Ran's words and did not speak. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until they returned to the general's mansion. Ling Huaifeng sighed: "This banquet is really not easy to attend. The twists and turns are really not something that rough guys like us can handle."
He Zhiqiu also spoke up: "This matter is indeed extremely dangerous, and this time it is all thanks to A Ran's scheming. Did A Ran anticipate that someone would slander me and prepare a substitute in advance? Will this substitute betray us?"
Mu Ran said confidently: "Don't worry, this substitute will disappear from the prison tonight, General, don't worry."
Ling Huaifeng also said, "Yes, General, you don't have to worry. This substitute is Xiao Liuzi. When he changes his face in the prison tonight, he can come out of the prison calmly. It is really thanks to the master's careful planning that things happened today. Otherwise, the general would not be able to clear his reputation even if he jumped into the Yellow River this time."
Everyone laughed, except Mu Ran who seemed to be thinking about something.
Because he knew that He Zhiqiu's death in the original work was about to come, and the rebel was probably already in contact with the current emperor by now.
As Mu Ran expected, the rebellious king of a different surname had just sent envoys to the palace secretly to lobby Gao Huaiyu and Wei Yuanyao.
The envoy said: "Your Majesty, this general has such great military power, don't you have any thoughts at all?"
Gao Huaiyu: "According to what the envoy said, what should I think of our general?"
The envoy said, "Your Majesty, didn't you do it last time? This time, our Lord's intention is the same as last time, except that we will be the ones to take action. Your Majesty doesn't need to intervene at all. You just need to provide some insignificant information."
Wei Yuanyao: "Lord Zhao is wrong. If our Majesty provides information about this matter, it would be like having our hands stained with blood.
Moreover, the one who was lost was our great general. If this were to be like seeking the skin of a tiger, wouldn’t our dynasty suffer heavy losses? "
Gao Huaiyu: "What do you mean, Prime Minister? Didn't you promise me to eradicate..."
Wei Yuanyao said ruthlessly: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words!"
Then he said to the envoy gently, "Am I right, Lord Zhao?"
The envoy wiped the sweat off his face and thought: "I thought it was a simple matter, how come it ended up in the hands of this gentleman."
He had no choice but to speak slowly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I still need to ask the king's opinion. I hope you can forgive me for a few days."
Wei Yuanyao: "That's right, Lord Zhao, please do as you please. I hope Lord Zhao will bring back good news that I will appreciate!"
The envoy wiped his sweat again and replied: "Of course, I will take my leave now."
After saying this, he quickly left the imperial study, and his steps seemed as if someone was chasing him.
As soon as the envoy left, Gao Huaiyu couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? Didn't you say you would help me get rid of He Zhiqiu? Why do you refuse such a good opportunity?"
Hearing Gao Huaiyu's question, Wei Yuanyao said calmly: "Your Majesty is too ignorant of the limits this time.
The rebels are a threat in the first place, and they are seeking our cooperation simply because it is in their interest.
He Zhiqiu is dead, but has your majesty ever thought about who will resist this threat after He Zhiqiu dies? "
"This... We have so many men in our dynasty, is there no one who can resist foreign enemies?" Gao Huaiyu said unconfidently.
"Your Majesty, are you thinking too simply? Even if such a person appears, the military power is still in the hands of others, and I'm afraid it will pose a greater threat to you and me." Wei Yuanyao said sarcastically.
"What the Prime Minister means is... He Zhiqiu can die, but the military power must be in our own hands?" Gao Huaiyu reacted.
"Your Majesty is not too stupid." Wei Yuanyao praised.
"And we have to get something beneficial from the rebels. We can't let them get rid of their biggest threat so easily without paying any price."
"No wonder the Prime Minister wanted to stop me just now. It was the Prime Minister who was considerate. I was indeed too reckless. Fortunately, the Prime Minister helped me to control myself." As he said this, he leaned on Wei Yuanyao's chest and drew circles on Wei Yuanyao's chest with his hands.
Wei Yuanyao's eyes darkened and he picked up Gao Huaiyu, walked to the bed, put him down and covered him.
After a while, cries that sounded like pleasure and pain were heard from the imperial study. If anyone could hear them, they would surely be terrified.
But at this time, in order to keep their conspiracy secret from outsiders, the palace maids and guards were sent to wait far away.
After the incident, Gao Huaiyu lay in Wei Yuanyao's arms and asked, "The minister asked me to choose a concubine, why did you agree? Don't you care about me at all?"
Wei Yuanyao hugged Gao Huaiyu and said with his eyes twinkling, "But Your Majesty should know that filling your harem can help you secure your position. Your empty harem has always been criticized.
So why not agree to their request and appease the ministers? Secondly, Your Majesty can choose the children of the ministers who are highly respected and the relatives of those who belong to He Zhiqiu's faction, so as to win over these ministers. "
"But, I feel that this would be a bit unfair to you. I care about you so much." Gao Huaiyu rubbed Wei Yuanyao's chest dependently.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will always be with you until you achieve your wish." Wei Yuanyao replied firmly.
"Okay, you promised to help me achieve my wish, so don't lie to me." Gao Huaiyu said happily.
Although the atmosphere here is cozy and pleasant, the atmosphere in the general's mansion is not that good at the moment.
Seeing Mu Ran's solemn expression, He Zhiqiu was a little worried: "Aran, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Everyone else's eyes also turned to look at Mu Ran. They found that Mu Ran's face was indeed very ugly, and they all looked worried.
Ling Huaifeng also said: "Sir, you have been overworked these days. Do you want to take a rest first?"
Mu Ran came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine, but..."
Hearing him say that he was fine, He Zhiqiu felt relieved.
But his "but" caught Ling Huaifeng's attention. He asked anxiously, "But what? Sir, did you predict that something is going to happen, and it's not good for us?"
After hearing the deputy general's guess, He Zhiqiu also reacted. He looked at Mu Ran with a heavy expression.
Seeing their worried expressions, Mu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Something bad is indeed going to happen. From what I have calculated, your great calamity is not far away."
He Zhiqiu didn't react when he heard Mu Ran's words.
Ling Huaifeng and his guards were all frightened and asked anxiously, "Sir, since you have already calculated this, is there any solution?
Our dynasty cannot afford to lose the general. If the general loses his life, the traitors will have nothing to fear anymore. The rebels will surely send troops to attack our capital. By then, the people will be displaced and suffer unspeakably."
