Chapter 546: Don't Say It Again Next Time
Liuzhou of Chu State is now a place that is being focused on by the first guard of the Shadow Guard. A general of Zhao State who slipped in may have sent the information to the Emperor Chu long ago.
In the end, if the matter cannot be completed, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to find a way to buy it from Chu State?
Chu's espionage capability is recognized as the strongest among the three kingdoms of the Central Plains.
This kind of business is tacit to everyone.
It's not that Zhao Guo hasn't done this before...
Sometimes Zhao Guo's spies were discovered by Chu State as soon as they sneaked in.
Later, Zhao Guo became honest and started buying information from Chu State if he wanted any information, such as criminal ministers, traitors, etc., and fled to Chu State.
Back then, Chu State also worked as a bounty hunter for a while.
It's all for money...ahem...it's all for the friendship between the two countries...
Not shabby.
The only one who escaped the spy network of Chu State skillfully is probably the extremely stubborn King Ming. Unexpectedly, Zhao State discovered it in advance this time.
Although it is true that their imperial court has certain advantages in finding their own people, Xu Qing was quite surprised.
It seems that Zhao Guo's spy has made a lot of progress in recent years.
It's really impressive.
The foolish girl was with me, otherwise she would be noticed by the shadow guards the next day after passing the border on the first day.
Other places dare not say it, but in the three-acre land of Chu State, Spy Shadow's strength is beyond doubt.
...
As for why Zhao Guo didn't send an envoy to make this request to Chu Guo tactfully this time, but sent a Hanhan girl to try to steal information.
Xu Qing herself can almost guess the reason.
The goal this time is different from those several times in history.
This time it was a prince who defected.
Judging from the historical experience throughout the ages.
If an enemy country finds a prince from another country who has fled into its own country, it will generally contact or cooperate with it, or simply train it as a puppet to disrupt the government of other countries in the name of this prince.
The more chaos other countries have, the more beneficial it is to their own country.
Zhao Guo probably had the same idea. He was afraid that Chu State would contact King Ming and then secretly support and train King Ming to return to Zhao State, which would cause chaos in Zhao State.
But as far as Xu Qing felt, Zhao Huang was adding a bit of drama to himself.
If Zhao Guo is a talented and generous monarch, Chu Guo can still regard it as a huge threat and secretly train a Ming king to make trouble in the past
Or if King Ming is Zhao Huang's pig brain, it would be cost-effective to support and train an obedient puppet.
But King Ming is different. A prince who has been on the run for many years can still secretly contact many generals in the country. If Chu State supports and cultivates such a thoughtful character, he is afraid that he will end up shooting himself in the foot!
That being the case, it is better to sell it for money.
It would be better to let that pig brain sit safely on the throne than to train King Ming.
With Zhao Huang here, other countries don't have to think of ways to disturb Zhao Guochaogang, because no emperor in Zhao Guo's history likes to use money to solve problems more than him.
It's not a potential threat, it's a potential vault!
It is estimated that the rest of the Central Plains, including the foreign races in the southwest of Zhao State, wished him a long life.
This Emperor Zhao...he overestimated himself...
...
But even so, selling a piece of information to Zhao Guo is already benevolent.
As for the complete eradication of King Ming from Chu State, it is probably impossible. He is the prince of another country, half brother of Emperor Zhao!
I have to pay more...
And it takes a lot of money.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that Chu State will not help this favor.
Anyway, King Ming has been exposed now. Without the support of Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest, the generals who surrendered to him will not be able to achieve success. The threat is much weaker than before. After being suppressed, General Long can continue to guard the frontier.
Moreover, the Ming family also has a considerable status in Rivers and Lakes. Rivers and Lakes and the imperial court do not see each other. Today, Chu State is still at war with Zhou State. It is not worthwhile to fight against Rivers and Lakes at this time.
As for preventing King Ming from being the leader of the Martial Forest, Xu Qing didn't collect money from Zhao Guo because King Xian and Xu Qing wanted to abduct General Long and Long Bing'er to Chu State.
Zhao Guo is cheaper...
...
next day
Liuzhou
In a secret house
Xu Qing walked in from the outside, a man in plain clothes looked at Xu Qing, and asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Qing said, "Cotton harvester."
The clothed man breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask, "Heavenly King Gedihu."
Xu Qing said: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."
The clothed man cupped fist and said: "This is just a routine password, please come in, the three commanders."
Xu Qing couldn't help but said: "These few passwords are really simple, where did you find them?"
The clothed man said: "It's all the orders from above."
Xu Qing said: "Let me tell you, your password should be changed, especially the last two slogans, it's too bad."
The clothed man said: "To confirm your identity, the first two sentences are enough."
Xu Qing said frankly: "The first two sentences are too rustic."
The air was suddenly quiet for a moment...
Then the commoner man looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Then I don't know if the Third Commander has any advice?"
Xu Qing said: "Let me say a few words of password, look at it, for example, Mahamaha, Sawadika, why is your face red? You are refreshed, why is it yellow again, and the wax of putting cold pictures... How is it? Isn't it very different?"
When the clothed man heard Xu Qing's command, the corner of his mouth twitched: "This subordinate... will react to the superior as appropriate..."
It is better not to change the slogan of the Three Commanders...
After the clothed man led Xu Qing into the main hall, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes looked at Xu Qing cupped hands and said, "My subordinate Liuzhou Spy Shadow Lin Ce has met the Third Commander, and I don't know what the Third Commander has ordered. The subordinates will definitely go all out.”
Xu Qing said: "It's about the Ming family."
Lin Ce said: "Commander, there are new discoveries about the Ming family."
Xu Qing asked curiously, "How did you find it?"
Lin Ce replied: "The Spy Shadow discovered that the identity of the Ming family and the ancestral land were fake. The real identity of the head of the Ming family is the King Ming who disappeared when Zhao Guo failed to seize the heir. Send it to the capital."
Xu Qing was surprised: "Have you found out?"
Lin Ce said: "The Ming family has risen rapidly on Rivers and Lakes, and within the Ming family there are also spies who are always on the lookout. Not long ago, the spy shadows found out about King Ming, and they also found out that King Ming was secretly communicating with the general of Zhao Guo. contract."
Xu Qing wondered: "Then why didn't you steal it?"
Lin Ce continued: "Reporting to the commander, Liuzhou Spy Shadow has already selected a day to steal it out collectively, but..."
Xu Qing asked: "But what?"
Lin Ce gritted his teeth and said, "But that day, a stunned young man came out of nowhere, and on the day we wanted to do something, he triggered all the bright and dark whistles of the Ming family! It's a pity that the shadow guards were all focused on that day. The Ming family has neglected the surrounding intelligence, and has not yet found out where this person came from... Now the information has been transferred by the Ming family... Damn it!"
Xu Qing: "..."
Well said, don't say it again next time...
