Chapter 548: Actually, I Believe It
Zhao Shen felt that if King Yong had not been forced to this point, he might have waited for the opportunity.
Not only is it earlier than in his previous life, the current situation is not very favorable for him.
"What does the prince mean?"
Zhao Shen said: "It is better to act sooner rather than later. The Shenwu Army should move."
Wei Zheng also knew that something had happened in the capital, and his time was very tight. However, in such a short time, he met with all his confidants and dealt with several people that Fang Yi had pointed out.
The Shenwu Army was reorganized as quickly as possible, and two people who attempted to send a letter were also captured.
When Zhao Shen came to find him, he was busy checking the military newspaper.
Zhao Shen told Wei Zheng about the situation in the capital: "General, you must prepare to leave for the capital as soon as possible."
Wei Zheng nodded. "Don't worry, Prince. Give me three more days and I will definitely reorganize the Shenwu Army. The situation in the capital is critical right now. We don't know how many cards Prince Yong has in his hand. Speed is of the essence. We must control the situation as soon as possible. I will keep it a secret and no information will be leaked before we enter the capital."
Zhao Shen calculated and felt that the palace would not be able to hold out for three days. He could take advantage of this time to see what other cards Prince Yong had yet to reveal.
He smiled and said, "There's no need to keep it a secret. I'll have someone disguise themselves as Fang Yi. Please ask him how to contact Prince Yong's men and tell him that he succeeded and will send troops as agreed."
Wei Zheng immediately understood what he meant: "You want Prince Yong to think we're here to help him and catch him off guard?"
Zhao Shen said, "Prince Yong cannot enter the palace for the time being. The emperor is protected by his companions, so he will be fine. In this situation, we must do our best to protect the people in the capital, especially the important officials of the court. Therefore, we must try our best to reduce the other party's vigilance."
Wei Zheng said, "That's a good idea. I'll ask Fang Yi right away."
Zhao Shen also had things to arrange, so after discussing with Wei Zheng, he said goodbye and left.
He wanted to remind Wei Zheng to be careful of Chen Shao, but then he thought about how close Chen Shao was. If the Shenwu Army made any movement, the other party would know immediately.
More importantly, Chen Shao already knew he was coming.
Once Chen Shao spreads the news of his presence here, the plan will fail.
He thought about it and felt that it would be more reassuring if he went to see Chen Shao in person.
So he left Jingzhe, whose figure was somewhat similar to Fang Yi, here and went to the cell to change his appearance according to Fang Yi's.
He took Shen Qin to the mountain stronghold overnight.
They had been here once and had a general understanding of the terrain and mechanisms here, so they entered the village in the dark without much effort.
However, Zhao Shen still noticed that the guards of the mountain stronghold had slacked off.
When he arrived at Chen Shao's residence, he realized that the other party was waiting for him.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Chen Shao's voice came out: "Prince Zhao is indeed worried about me."
Zhao Shen paused, but still stepped over the threshold: "The boss is a capable person, and it's hard to trust him."
Chen Shao asked him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea. "Prince Zhao, even when you are so busy, still remembers to come and see me. I am really flattered."
The tea was the same kind I drank before, and in this silent night, it seemed to have a unique fragrance.
Zhao Shen smelled the aroma before slowly taking a sip.
Chen Shao saw his actions and laughed, "Sir, are you worried that I poisoned the tea?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "Boss, you're worrying too much. Good things should be savored slowly."
Chen Shao sneered: "As expected of a young master from a wealthy family."
There are a lot of sayings about drinking tea.
Zhao Shen looked at him gloomily. "Why do you say that, Boss? If we talk about family background, I believe yours is not much worse than mine."
A person's living environment and upbringing since childhood will be engraved in his bones, and then revealed in his words and deeds.
In Zhao Shen's eyes, although Chen Shao looked like a crude warrior, he was actually a very sophisticated person.
In addition to knowledge and abilities that can be cultivated, he actually has a very graceful demeanor.
For example, even when he was in the mountain village, he subconsciously planned everything in an orderly manner.
His courtyard is simple yet exudes an elegance that is not easily noticed by ordinary people.
For example, he knows a lot about tea, and his skills in brewing and making tea are unique.
From these details, Zhao Shen could conclude that he came from an extraordinary background.
Of course, there is another important basis, that is, all the people under Xiao Kun have such characteristics.
For example, Lan Ting, who was born in the Jiannan Lan family, had not had an incident during the time of the previous emperor, the status of the eldest son of the Jiannan Lan family would actually be no worse than his, the son of a marquis.
The power possessed by local clans like the Jiannan Lan family is incomparable to that of the nobles in the capital.
Although Yin Shu didn't know his background, judging from his knowledge and martial arts, he was definitely not from an ordinary family.
The same goes for Chen Shao.
Zhao Shen felt that compared to King Yong, Xiao Kun was actually a more powerful opponent.
The people under Prince Yong are of varying quality, but people like Xiao Kun are indeed talented.
More importantly, these people obviously had fallen into poverty due to some misfortune, or were simply the descendants of criminals.
Such people no longer have any loyalty to the court, and it is not difficult to persuade them to rebel.
Or they themselves were dissatisfied with the court and the emperor and wanted to rebel.
Chen Shao listened to his words and smiled noncommittally: "Your Highness, you have a very powerful eye. However, I have fallen to such a state that there is no point in talking about the things that happened before."
Zhao Shen readily accepted the advice and tactfully didn't bring it up again. "You're right, there's nothing to talk about in the past. But no one can predict what will happen in the future, right? I know someone who is a direct descendant of the Jiannanlan family. His entire family died in exile, but he was recently pardoned by the emperor and is even engaged to the daughter of the Prince's Mansion. Perhaps it won't be long before the Jiannanlan family returns to everyone's attention."
After listening to this, Chen Shao was silent for a moment. Zhao Shen didn't say anything else either, but just drank tea quietly.
He discovered early on that this tea was not necessarily much better than the tribute, but the tea-making technique was very special, preserving the bitter taste of the tea to the greatest extent. It was a little bitter at first, but the aftertaste was sweet and long.
Chen Shao waited until he finished his tea before speaking, "Your Highness is indeed intelligent. It was not unfair for those people to fall into your hands before."
Zhao Shen felt that the groundwork had been laid and asked directly, "What did Xiao Kun ask you to do here?"
Chen Shao laughed and said, "I'm afraid the prince won't believe me if I tell him. He just wants me to live according to my own ideas."
After all, at the beginning, he really didn't even have the desire to live.
Xiao Kun pointed him out this way, but didn't tell him what to do.
So he has been running the cottage until now.
Zhao Shen also laughed: "I'm afraid you won't believe it, but I do."
This is indeed what Xiao Kun would do.
Over the past year or so, he has been behaving abnormally. Sometimes he exposed the Suzhou incident, and when he arrived there, he helped Prince Yong hunt him down, but in the end he let it go.
He is even more capricious in the capital, as if he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and he will stir up trouble whenever he feels bored.
He wouldn't be surprised by anything such a person does.
