Chapter 333 Suspicion
"That is to fight to the Mongolian Plateau and establish a crossing point there. We can buy weapons in Mongolia. As long as there is money, it will be fine." Zhao Xiaokun said.
"But we can't go there unless Shanxi and Shaanxi are recovered," said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Therefore, the next step is to speed up the recovery of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and then go north to attack Mongolia," said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Mongolia is not easy to defeat, and we may not be able to stand our ground even if we fight!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"As long as we can hold out for three months, once the weapons arrive, who in this time and space can be our opponent?" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"You're right. I'll ask Zhou Shuai, Wanshan and the others to think of a solution." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"No! Some of them have second thoughts, so we need to consider this matter carefully," said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Having second thoughts! Who?" Zhao Xiaofei asked in confusion.
"I don't know who it was. After I came back, I was thinking about it. You were separated from them at the beginning. With their level, it would be no problem for them to find you and rescue you. But they actually retreated with their respective armies, which is a problem." Zhao Xiaokun said.
"But they also sent troops to find me. If they had any ulterior motives, there would be no need to look for me." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"That person must have hesitated because he hasn't made a plan yet! He has no prestige!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"So, big brother, do you have a suspect?" Zhao Xiaofei was a little nervous now. Because there had been a traitor in the army before, and he had almost been killed. Now, one of the three of them, Zhou Shuai, Wanshan, and Fang Xinyu, had turned traitor! What was he thinking? Did he still want to be emperor?
"All three of them are possible, and if you die, they can take this opportunity to purge the court and march directly to Nanjing. This will cause chaos in the world, and the Jianlu will lose the strength to march into the south of the Yangtze River. They may be able to use their own advantages to compete with other warlords for the world." Zhao Xiaokun said.
"But who is it? When you say that, I feel a little panicked!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Why are you panicking? Are your internal guards just here to do the job? Let them monitor secretly! After Shanxi and Shaanxi are taken, call them to discuss countermeasures. See what these three of them think, and then we can slowly find them. If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if we kill all three of them!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Brother! Isn't it too much to kill all three of them? After all, they have been following us all the time, fighting all over the country and never having a moment of idleness!" Zhao Xiaofei would never do such a thing.
"How did Taizu kill those heroes back then? You have read history, have you forgotten? Besides, I mean it's really not possible! There are prerequisites!" Zhao Xiaokun said coldly.
"This...Brother, if someone really has second thoughts one day, it's better to send him back." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Send them back? What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid that our time travel will be exposed? We told them at the beginning that this is a one-way ticket. There is no hope of returning! And who among them doesn't have three wives and four concubines here? Who doesn't have a huge fortune? Even if you ask them to go back, they won't!" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"Brother! This is just your opinion. You are the only one who thinks there is something wrong with them. But what if they are not?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"You said it was just a chance! But what if it was? Then the scene outside the city of Xi'an might be repeated. Will you still be so lucky then?" Zhao Xiaokun asked back.
"I will investigate this matter and talk about it after I get the results!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Zhao Xiaofei was originally going to return to Jingzhou, but after hearing what his elder brother said, he started to hesitate. He did not rush to find Wanshan. Instead, he met Xiao Si at the palace.
In recent years, Xiao Si has obviously aged a lot and his hair has turned a lot whiter.
"Brother Xiao Si, are you in good health recently? What official rank have Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu achieved now?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"Your Majesty, please don't call me that. You are a prince now, so you can't call me that anymore!" Xiao Si was so scared when he heard Zhao Xiaofei call him that that he knelt down immediately.
"There are no outsiders here!" Zhao Xiaofei said as he quickly helped him up.
"In the past few years, you have been running around everywhere. I haven't thanked you properly for all the busy work at home and outside. You have also been very busy with the internal security affairs, and I feel sorry for you!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Your Highness, these are my duties as a servant!" Xiao Si said.
"You are not a servant now, but a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Don't always feel that you are inferior to others. If Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu come back this time, I will find them a stable job with a good salary. You and your wife are old, and it is not a good thing for them to hang around outside all the time!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
When Xiao Si heard what Zhao Xiaofei said, he knew that he wanted his two sons to stop serving in the army and instead let them serve as local officials. If they could become county magistrates, it would be a great honor for his ancestors!
Xiao Si immediately knelt down again and kowtowed to Zhao Xiaofei, saying, "Xiao Si thanks His Majesty!"
This time, Zhao Xiaofei didn't help him. Instead, he said, "This inner guard is comparable to the Jinyiwei. It is the eyes and ears of the king. I don't want him to be blind or deaf!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will ensure that the inner guards will become your eyes and ears from afar!" Xiao Si said.
"That's good! The last time I was in danger, it was all because of a traitor. But I think someone is hiding deep inside and needs to be dug deeper!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Dig deeper? Xiao Sixin wondered: What is the prince going to do? Is he suspecting someone?
"Please give me some instructions, Your Highness!" Xiao Si asked.
"Zhou Shuai Wanshan and Fang Xinyu, you send someone to keep an eye on them quietly. Some of them have second thoughts, and I hope your people won't alarm them. Investigate slowly, and don't take any action if you can't find any results. Everything will be decided by me!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes, Your Highness! I will definitely do the job well!" Xiao Si said.
"I'm also afraid of wrongly accusing them, so you have to be careful!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I understand! You are afraid of discouraging the people who follow you. I will definitely investigate it quietly." Xiao Si said.
"Well! Okay! Just keep it in mind! You must find a few trusted people to handle this matter." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I understand! Please rest assured, Your Highness!" Xiao Si said.
"Okay! Go down!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Xiao Si left, and Princess Kunxing walked in and asked, "My husband, what's the matter? You usually don't look for Xiao Si if you don't have any serious matters!"
"It's okay to tell you! Among the three of them, Wanshan, Zhou Shuai, Fang Xinyu, one of them may have had second thoughts. I'm very scared!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Husband! What do you mean?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"Let's check it out first. I don't want any of these three people to have any problems. If anything is found out, I will lock him up and let him live a life of wealth and glory." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"My husband, you are a kind person. But it has been said since ancient times that a kind person cannot command an army. Being too kind will not be good for you in the end. If the truth is really found out, I will be the bad guy!" said Princess Kunxing.
