Zhao Hao nodded. "Everything is ready, but Wenyou, you should understand that I don't want those royalists to truly seize power. Therefore, this important task is entrusted to you!"
Li Ru paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Alright, this is my old specialty. So, you'll have Xie An, whom you've recently promoted, play the good cop, and Ru play the bad cop?"
It's so comfortable talking to smart people. Zhao Hao only mentioned a simple idea, and this guy was already able to figure out what he was thinking.

"promise!"
Looking at this ancient and majestic pass that will one day become a strategic location fought over by military strategists, and at the eyes of the refugees that occasionally appear on the surrounding mountain passes.
Zhao Hao, filled with emotion, recited a long poem.
"Peaks rise like a gathering of people, waves surge like a raging storm, the Tongguan Pass lies between mountains and rivers. Gazing westward towards the capital, my heart hesitates."
