Chapter 42 Undercover
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have sent you a letter. Please take a look."
"Bring it here."
Lord Mo nodded calmly, reached out to take the letter from the other person's hand, opened it and began to read.
"Your Highness, what's in the letter?" The general beside him couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, it's just some boring stuff. You can take a look at it." Lord Mo casually threw the letter to everyone, and everyone immediately passed it around.
After reading the contents of the barbarian letter, everyone was furious. Some of the hot-tempered ones couldn't help but slam their hands and said, "How dare the northern barbarians covet our Beijiang City's territory and even want to enter the pass? What a dream! These damn beasts, as soon as they take off their pants, I know what they want to do. We have a deep grudge with the barbarians, how can they really help us? It's good enough that they don't stab us in the back."
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Allowing barbarians to enter the pass is like inviting a wolf into the house. The consequences will be disastrous!"
"No, everyone might as well put themselves in his shoes. This may be a good opportunity for us."
At this moment, a voice that was out of tune with the others suddenly sounded.
Hearing this, everyone was startled and subconsciously turned to look at the person who spoke.
"Old Li, what do you mean by that? What good opportunity?"
"Everyone, think about it, if we want to accomplish something now, where is the biggest hidden danger?"
"Stop beating around the bush and just let it out. I hate you guys who keep me in suspense and shit halfway."
"You have a bad temper. If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Humph."
Old Li stood up, looked at Lord Mo and said seriously, "Your Highness, the northern barbarians are eyeing us covetously, and they are determined to take over our Northern Frontier City. If we don't agree, they will definitely make trouble for us when we go south."
"What? Do you mean that the prince should agree to them and hand over Beijiang City to the barbarians? Have you drunk too much and your brain is filled with water? Don't you know what will happen once the barbarian army successfully enters the pass?" One person couldn't help but shout.
"You old bastard, can you please listen to what I have to say? If you are not smart, just shut up and stop talking. You are talking like you are so smart."
"Hey! You old bastard, you said I'm incompetent, but I can beat three of you by myself!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing and listen to what Lao Li has to say."
"snort."
Lao Li reorganized himself and immediately said:
"Of course we can't hand over Beijiang City to the barbarians, but we can pretend to agree and take advantage of their trick."
"Although I don't know who gave the Barbarian King this idea and what his purpose is, those simple-minded barbarians definitely can't think of such a plan. There must be someone behind the scenes giving them advice, and I'm afraid that person's purpose is not simple."
"If he is not an incompetent fool, then he wants to use us to kill others. Either to consolidate his position among the barbarians, or... he has other purposes."
"But no matter what his purpose is, we can follow his plan and take this opportunity to weaken the manpower of the northern barbarians. It would be even better if we can use this opportunity to lure out the barbarian king and get rid of him. They have stretched their heads out for us to chop off. If we don't take it, wouldn't we be too sorry for them? So I said this is a good opportunity for us, isn't it?"
Everyone was silent and looked at Lao Li with strange eyes.
"Old Li, when did you become so smart? Why haven't you been so good at speaking before? Have you been possessed by someone, you old bastard?"
"Fuck you, I've always been smart, okay? Do you think everyone is like you, rushing into battle recklessly?"
"Your Majesty, I think what Lao Li said is right. Although I don't know what the purpose of the person behind this is, this matter is beneficial to our Beijiang City, so maybe we can take advantage of it."
Lord Mo smiled faintly: "General Li's idea coincides with my own. If someone sends a pillow to my door just because I feel sleepy, how can I not accept it?"
"Send someone to treat the messenger well. When I write back to the barbarians, I will throw out the bait and see if Kemmerdal takes the bait."
Early morning into night.
The backyard of Prince Wu's palace.
A man in black, wrapped tightly all over his body, appeared in Lord Mo's secret room.
When the other party took off the disguise on his face and revealed his true face, he immediately knelt on one knee, leaned over and said, "Suo Yingzhuo greets the prince."
That’s right, no one would have thought that Suo Yingzhuo was actually an undercover agent planted by Lord Mo next to the Barbarian King!
Several years of lurking, just for this day.
"Get up. It seems that you have gained Kemmerdal's trust. You have done a good job." Lord Mo stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.
"Everything Suo Yingzhuo has was given by the prince. If the prince hadn't found Suo Yingzhuo five years ago, Suo Yingzhuo wouldn't be in his current position. It is Suo Yingzhuo's blessing to be able to work for the prince."
"I know what you want to do. After Kemerdar dies, I can promise you that you will be the new king of the north."
"Suo Yingzhuo thanks His Majesty!" Suo Yingzhuo responded excitedly.
"To avoid suspicion, you should go back. As long as you can get Kemmerdar to pass through, I can kill him for you and let you take his place. As for how to do it, it depends on your own ability."
"In order to dispel Kemmerdal's suspicion, Suoyinzhuo needs to borrow something from the prince."
"explain."
"I want five boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a hundred carts of food. As long as the prince is willing to give them, I will be 100% sure to convince Kemmerdar to lead the army into Beijiang City."
Lord Mo did not hesitate and slowly said, "In three days, I will prepare what you want. I hope you will not let me down."
"Suo Yingzhuo will definitely live up to the prince's trust!" Suo Yingzhuo said nervously.
"Go back."
"Yes, Suo Yingzhuo will take his leave."
Suo Yingzhuo put on his nightgown again and left Prince Wu's palace nimbly.
At this moment, Xu Bo appeared in the secret room and warned, "Your Majesty, this man has wicked ambitions and is not a man who will keep quiet. He can bite back at Kemmerdal, and he may bite back at us in the future. We must be on guard."
Mo Shenjun's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said lightly: "Of course I know that he will not be content. He is still useful now. I am not afraid of him biting people. A dog that knows how to bite people is a good dog. Once a dog starts to bite its owner, it will be killed and eaten."
"Your Highness is wise." Xu Bo nodded and said no more.
Three days later, the barbarian envoys left Beijiang City in a swagger, carrying five large boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a hundred carts of grain.
Upon learning of this, the entire Beijiang City was speculating whether Lord Mo had reached some kind of agreement with the barbarians in secret.
Otherwise, why would the Prince Wu's Mansion give so much money and food to the hateful barbarians? Isn't this helping the barbarians to harm their own people?
In the eyes of everyone in Beijiang City, the barbarians are a group of ungrateful wolves who can never be fed. They are always coveting their land, money, food and women.
Lord Mo did not explain this, nor did he need to.
The more you explain, the more likely you are to reveal your true identity.
All he had to do now was to prepare everything and wait for Kmerdal to fall into the trap.
When the barbarian army enters the pass, they will all be kept in Beijiang City forever.
