Chapter 426: The Multifaceted Agent Yu Zhou
How could Li Cunxi, who had been cautious for so many years, allow a filial son like Prince Mochuo who refused to repent to live?
However, if it hadn't come to that, Li Cunxi wouldn't want to bear the infamy of killing his son.
He was just waiting now, waiting for Prince Mochuo to know that Wang Xiaojie had won the battle and all the plans of Snake Spirit had failed, forcing Prince Mochuo to attack the royal court himself.
However, Li Cunxi had just returned to the royal court and had not even taken two sips of tea when Ma Rong had already followed Prince Mochu to the Snake Spirit's base.
After speaking a few words to the guard outside the door, Prince Mochuo entered the guest room where Yuzhou was.
Yu Zhou, who had successfully captured the Helan Mountain Post Station, dispatched members of his Snake Spirit to station inside the Helan Mountain Post Station.
At the same time, he also sent people to Luoyang to report the current situation of the Helan Mountain Post Station to Xiao Qingfang.
However, from the Turkic Stone Kingdom to Luoyang of the Great Zhou, even if the people he sent out ran as fast as possible, it would still take more than ten days for a round trip.
It would probably take more than half a month for Xiao Qingfang to reply to his letter.
During this more than half a month, he must grasp the rhythm and complete his tasks.
As for whether other people's tasks could be completed, it was no longer within his consideration.
That night, Hu Jinghui and Yingzi broke his heart.
At this moment, Yu Zhou, who had reached an agreement with Prince Helu, sat cross-legged on the couch and invited Prince Mochu to take a seat.
"I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to me this time?"
Yu Zhou was not polite at all and it was obvious that he looked down on this ambitious but unworthy Crown Prince.
"Things have changed. My uncle seems to know that I am having an affair with you guys."
Prince Mochu's face turned pale as he told Yuzhou everything that had happened after Li Cunxi came to his residence.
Yu Zhou thought for a moment and asked in confusion: "How did Lord Li know that we were secretly planning these things?"
"What's more, isn't it that Li Fuyin came to the Turks this time to borrow the passage and ensure the safety of Zhao Wenhui's army?"
"Those Snake Spirits are right beside Li Fuyin. They are protecting him but they are actually monitoring him. If Li Fuyin really found out something, how could I not know?"
Yuzhou raised his questions and waited for Prince Mochu's answer.
However, Prince Mochu was extremely anxious at the moment, so how could he think about these issues carefully?
He said in a panic: "Mr. Yu, this time it is because of our sincere cooperation that we can achieve our respective goals."
"If Mr. Yu finds out anything, please do not hide it, and please tell this prince the truth."
Yuzhou twirled his beard lightly, feeling very proud.
After a brief thought, he concluded that Li Cunxi had definitely not discovered that Prince Mochu had reached an agreement with the Snake Spirit.
In fact, Li Cunxi didn't even know about the Snake Spirit organization, nor did he know that Hu Jinghui, Mo Ling, Yingzi, Su Xianer and others were members of the Snake Spirit.
This high-ranking official, who was known as the most talented young man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only discovered that something was wrong with Crown Prince Mochu himself.
"Your Highness, what Li Fuyin said might not mean that we were discovered."
"Please think carefully about the two times you met with Li Fuyin. Did you show any unnatural expression or behave in a way that was out of place?"
"I, Yuzhou, can basically conclude that Li Fuyin doesn't know about our existence, and doesn't even know that we are snake spirits."
"What's more, Li Fuyin may not know that the Snake Spirit is an organization in the shadow of the Great Zhou."
"The possibility of us being exposed is very small. The person who is likely to make Li Fuyin suspicious is not someone else, but your Highness the Crown Prince."
Prince Mochu suddenly realized what was going on, stood up, bowed, and quickly said goodbye.
He didn't want to stay here for too long. After all, if he did, people would start to suspect what he, the Crown Prince, was doing here.
As the crown prince of the Turkic people, his every word and action was always watched by others.
He is also an extremely cautious person.
Not long after he left, Yu Zhou turned around and saw the man walking out of the shadows, his eyes twitching wildly.
"Is there anything wrong with what I just said?" Yu Zhou asked cautiously.
"No problem. Just keep looking down on everything and complete the task assigned to you. Then you will get everything you want." The man said coldly.
"Can I trust you?" Yu Zhou swallowed his saliva. "After all, we were not friends in the past. We were not even old acquaintances."
"You can always trust me, because I will swear by the title I am most proud of." The man said, "No one who knows my true identity will doubt what I say."
"I don't doubt your identity. I'm just worried about that person. I don't think he would withstand the pressure and make me his subordinate."
"You are wrong. I am not becoming his subordinate, but becoming his close and close brother."
"Can someone like me really be his brother?"
"I vaguely remember that when he recruited me, he said something very joyful." The man lowered his eyes silently, "He said that anyone who is willing to help him is his brother. Even if this person is his retainer, he will treat him as a brother."
Yu Zhou was silent for a long time, then he nodded heavily.
"Please tell that person that I will become his trusted subordinate. However, before I join his army, I will give him a great gift."
"No matter what gift you are going to give, I hope you can return to his side safely. You are a talented person. I heard that you are a good debater. People like you should have a bigger stage."
"I will. I will get back safely."
Yu Zhou bowed with a solemn expression.
The man returned to the shadows and quickly left through the open window.
Yu Zhou took a deep breath and made his final choice.
Not long after the man left, the Snake Spirit member outside the door came in and reported:
"Mr. Yu, Prince Helu of the warlike Five Tribes nobles is here."
Yu Zhou tidied up his appearance and went out to greet him in person.
Prince Helu, who was very optimistic about him, put his arm around his shoulders affectionately and walked to the reception area as if he were back home.
Wulezhi, who followed in, was wearing a mask today and did not reveal his gloomy face.
"Mr. Yu, have you been doing well these days?" Prince Helu asked with a smile.
"Very good, but just now Prince Mochu came to see me and said something that was unfavorable to him." Yuzhou said, "Your Highness, please sit down and I will tell you in detail."
Prince Helu sat down comfortably, changed the cups, added more wine, and asked Ulezhi to sit down.
"Mr. Yu, this prince is very interested in this matter."
"Please tell us what is going on, Mr. Yu. This prince wants to see what can harm Mochu."
Yu Zhou didn't waste any words and started telling the story immediately.
