"Oh? I wonder what your plan is, sir?" Prince Maodun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although Sui Shicong had been his subordinate during this period, this man was too active. He was making friends and building good relationships with his subordinates, but he did not trust him very much.
Moreover, this person used to live in Daqin, so it was hard for him not to think too much.
He had no way of checking everything about his time in Daqin. This man suddenly appeared in Xiongnu, and who knew what his purpose was.
But this man is still useful, as he has a lot of food.
As long as he followed him honestly, he was still willing to flatter him more.
"When I entered the Xiongnu, I bribed a few officials who were building the Great Wall. There were few troops stationed in that section, and I knew their shifts. I also knew when there were no people there. That's how I transported my food here." Sui Shicong said with a smile.
He has now gotten close to Prince Maodun and is secretly contacting Chanyu Touman's wife, Yanzhi. Now with her help, he is doing very well in the Xiongnu.
However, Prince Maodun was too cautious, and he had no chance to get close at all, let alone carry out an assassination.
"Is what you said true, sir?" Prince Maodun looked at him sharply. This news was too important to him now.
If it is true, we can use this as a breakthrough point to break through the Qin's defense line.
"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can send a trustworthy guard to accompany me to check it out." Sui Shicong looked like he was devoted to his master.
"It's not that I don't trust you, sir, but this matter is too important to us, the Xiongnu. I will send Hu Yi to go and take a look." Prince Maodun was also a little excited at this time.
"No problem, I can set off at any time." Sui Shicong said respectfully.
"If the information is reliable, I will definitely ask my father to reward you greatly."
After sending Sui Shicong away, Maodun called people in and asked them to follow Sui Shicong. If anyone tried to escape or betray them, he would be shot to death.
On the other side, Sui Shicong started to get busy after returning to his territory. There were too many guards around Prince Maodun, and it was unrealistic to assassinate him by normal means. The only way he could think of at the moment was poisoning.
He also has medicine that can cause people to die suddenly without knowing it, but how to get the medicine to Prince Maodun is a big problem.
Prince Maodun has now shot his beloved wife to death, and he cannot bribe the guards around him at all. These people have very rudimentary abilities. Although he has learned some kung fu, he can only beat one or two ordinary people.
Given Prince Maodun's sturdy physique, he would have been killed by assassination before he could even get close to him.
He also didn't want to be killed by Prince Maodun in advance when he was about to assassinate him, or die together with Prince Maodun. He still had a lot of things he wanted to do, and life was still long, so there was no need to take such risks.
Looking at his pasture, Sui Shicong smiled. These were the cattle, sheep and horses he had exchanged for grain during this period. He had more than 500 cattle and sheep, but horses were hard to buy. Horses were also strategic materials in the Xiongnu, so he only bought more than 100 horses.
He has already sent the letter out. Once Prince Maodun is dealt with, someone will come to pick him up while there is chaos.
Of course, there must be no mistakes with these treasures of his, as these are what His Highness wants.
Just when Sui Shicong was looking for an opportunity to kill Prince Maodun but couldn't find one, Yanshi's people came to him first.
Next month is Tuoman Chanyu’s birthday, and there will be a big celebration.
As the eldest son of Touman Chanyu, Prince Maodun naturally had to attend. This was definitely a good opportunity.
As for the Qin side, we can ask them to help put on a show when the time comes.
It takes a lot of time to travel from the Xiongnu royal court to the border of the Great Qin. After a round trip, it would be time to attend the birthday celebration of Chanyu Touman. If we want to send troops to the Great Qin, we have to wait at least until after Chanyu Touman's birthday.
Having made up his mind, Sui Shicong began to make arrangements.
This time he brought more than a hundred people to the Xiongnu. These people had been dispersed to various places by him. They only needed to wait for his order, and then they could quickly leave the Xiongnu with the supplies he had collected.
A few days later, Zhao Qingrui received news from Sui Shicong.
After knowing what he was going to do, I was also shocked. This guy is really brave.
"Send this to Shangjun and give it to Meng Tian, and ask him to cooperate fully." Zhao Qingrui sealed the letter with beeswax and handed the mailbox to Wang Xian.
"Yes." Wang Xian left quickly.
Zhang Liang took over Wang Xian's work and helped Zhao Qingrui to sort out government affairs.
"But what happened in Shangjun? Should I tell Your Majesty?" Zhang Liang asked calmly.
As a general guarding the border, Meng Tian had to think more about it after Zhao Qingrui gave him a direct order.
"It's nothing. One of my servants did business with the Huns and brought back some Hun specialties. I asked someone to pick him up." Zhao Qingrui had a faint smile on his lips and was in a good mood.
"Your Highness has so many servants, and countless talented people." Zhang Liang said with a smile.
This was his biggest feeling after getting to know Zhao Qingrui during this period. Zhao Qingrui had many talented people under him, covering all aspects. It was said that they were all taught by Mr. Zhao at Jingshui Pavilion.
"Not bad." Zhao Qingrui said modestly.
"Have you fallen behind in your studies recently? Should I ask Xie Peiyun to give you some extra lessons?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang and asked.
"It's not left behind. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Zhang Liang said seriously.
"That's good." Zhao Qingrui nodded. Zhang Liang learns quickly, and people like him should learn more.
After I finished reviewing the government affairs, the weather outside became a bit gloomy and it was probably going to rain again.
"Send the memorial to the Emperor."
After sending Zhang Liang away, Zhao Qingrui relaxed. Fortunately, she no longer had to preside over the government affairs, otherwise she would not even have time to relax.
There is still more than a month left before the tour, I am looking forward to it.
The affairs of the court have been arranged almost completely, and there won't be any problems when the tour begins.
Everything was fine in the court, so Zhao Qingrui took Wang Xian out of the palace.
The office space for the court gazette has been almost completed, and now a large mimeograph machine for processing the court gazette is being built.
Judging by the time, this place can be built before they go on patrol.
Now, besides Yin Man, Meng Yu is the one in charge of the court newspaper.
The offices for work have been built, and now we are waiting for the machine factory for processing newspapers to be built. Then all the staff of the Dibao can move here.
"Sister, do you like this kind of building?" Zhao Qingrui asked with a smile. The building of the official newspaper office has only three floors, but it is already very tall for people nowadays.
