When Wang Nei Shi said this, Zhao He and Zheng Hong's expressions changed.
Zhao He couldn't help but ask Zheng Hongdao, "Captain Zheng, what do you think?"
Zheng Hong was stunned again when he heard this, and looked at Zhao He in surprise.
I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would ask such a question. Could it be that he really had such thoughts?
Since the emperor appeared in the city, is it so easy to capture him?
We have to check the truth first, right?
Moreover, even if the emperor is in the city, under what pretext will you take him, and how will you accommodate him after taking him?
He immediately realized that Zhao He was probably testing him, otherwise, judging from his usual behavior, he would not be so reckless.
He immediately bowed and said, "I have no ideas. I only follow your orders, Your Highness. But if you tell me to, I will do it!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao He clapped his hands upon hearing this and said, "Alright, gather your men and horses and follow me immediately. I will accomplish this feat today!"
"What?"
Zheng Hong was stunned. He didn't expect Zhao He to be serious. He was speechless for a moment.
I joined you just to make a living, but I never thought about bearing the name of a regicide?
Besides, since the emperor dared to come, he had no protection at all.
But at the same time, I felt a little restless.
The emperor is in Dahuang City at this time, and he probably doesn't have many people around him.
If we can really capture the emperor, it will be a great achievement!
No, that's not right. It's not a big deal. That's the emperor, the Son of Heaven.
If I really captured the emperor today, or even killed him, I would be so criticized by people all over the world that I would be drowned in saliva!
And I am not the direct descendant of the King of Qi. Who knows if the King of Qi will kill me to take the blame!
Just as he was struggling with this, the eunuch Wang beside him sneered and said, "Captain Zheng, didn't you hear what His Highness said?"
“Ah, no…”
Zheng Hong felt very nervous and regretted that he had agreed so readily. He wanted to shirk responsibility and explain, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
But in the end, he had to grit his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I will obey your orders, but...but shouldn't we first find out the details? How many troops are there around the emperor? What if..."
"Nothing will happen."
Zhao He interrupted him decisively, "The Emperor's appearance in Dahuang City, even if he is not alone, certainly cannot be accompanied by a large army.
You mentioned Zhang Yuan's actions before, and I thought they were all done by Cao Xiong. Now it seems that the emperor must be behind Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan's actions are likely intended to recruit troops for Zhao Xin."
"In that case, then..."
Zheng Hong's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and he was about to say something, but Zhao He waved his hand again and said, "That's precisely why I have to act first. Otherwise, if we really wait until he's ready, the situation will be completely different!"
“…”
Zheng Hong swallowed hard and looked at Zhao He's fierce eyes. He instantly realized that Zhao He had made up his mind when he saw the secret letter.
He also realized that what Zhao He said was actually not unreasonable.
What Zhang Yuan did seemed like he was gathering troops. If he was really ready, he would probably turn around and attack them immediately.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he had boarded a pirate ship and had no choice.
However, he was still a little unwilling. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao He suddenly chuckled and said, "Captain Zheng, could it be that you heard that the emperor is in the city and have other ideas?"
"No, no, no, Your Highness, what are you talking about? I am a loyal subject, Your Highness, please understand."
Zheng Hong's expression changed as he quickly explained, "I'm just worried that if this happens, His Highness the Seventh Prince will know that you are still in the city, and I'm afraid that this will ruin your plans."
"Haha, I see. This is my fault. I actually misunderstood Captain Zheng."
Zhao He laughed heartily, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. This is a different time. Compared to the emperor, Emperor Yu's treasure is nothing."
If Commandant Zheng can work with me to invite the emperor to Nanzhou, then my father's cause of serving the king will be half successful.
And Captain Zheng, rest assured, I have no intention of murdering the emperor by doing this. I just want to invite the emperor to Nanzhou to prevent him from being bewitched by evil spirits again.
And my father will do his best to assist the emperor and revitalize our Great Qin.
At that time, Commander Zheng will be the most meritorious official!"
At this point, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Hong, whispering beguilingly, "Captain Zheng, you are a fine man. Don't you want to achieve such great achievements and be recorded in history?"
Zheng Hong didn't believe a word of what he said before. You rebelled just to assist the emperor, are you kidding me?
However, when he heard the following sentence, his thoughts changed instantly.
It seems that Zhao He and the King of Qi and his son intend to use the emperor as a puppet to control the world.
If that is the case, then it is nothing. What I did today can be said to be welcoming the emperor.
Thinking of this, the look in his eyes suddenly changed.
Then Zhao He continued, "But when Captain Zheng mentioned my seventh brother, I remembered that I really need to let him know about this. Captain Zheng, find a way to have someone leak this information and our plan to my seventh brother. Don't let him know it was you or I who leaked it to him."
"this……"
Zheng Hong was about to nod in agreement and go to gather people, but he was stunned again when he heard what Zhao He said.
Before, he was hesitant about whether to get involved in this matter, but now he was a little worried. If this happened, wouldn’t Zhao Dang steal the credit?
Zhao He noticed this subtle change in mentality and sneered in his heart.
But he consoled her by saying, "Captain Zheng, don't overthink it. Zhao Dang and I are brothers after all, so we must prioritize the overall situation. However, I will never forget your contribution, Captain.
I can guarantee that no matter what the outcome this time, the credit will go to you, Captain."
Zheng Hong's heart calmed down a bit, but he kept saying, "I dare not. Since His Highness has ordered me to do so, I will gather my men right away. As for spreading the news to His Highness the Seventh Prince, it shouldn't be difficult. I suspect that one of my men should have his eyes."
"Yes, that makes sense. In that case, I'll have to trouble Captain Zheng."
Zhao He nodded in agreement.
Only after watching this person leave did the smile on his face slowly fade and turn cold.
Wang, the eunuch beside him, was obviously not seeing this change in his expression for the first time. He did not take it seriously at all. Instead, he whispered softly in his ear, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This old servant has already bribed this man's subordinates and confidants according to Your Highness's instructions.
Even if we get rid of this person, we can still take control of the Duwei Mansion smoothly!"
Zhao He shook his head and said, "Don't be too hasty. This person still has other uses. If he really doesn't obey, it won't be too late to get rid of him!"
As for Shadow, tell them not to act rashly. What I want is a living emperor, not a dead Zhao Xin."
