Chapter 288: Learning Her Skill in Cheating
Ge Xubai took a deep breath and said, "I will go back and report this to Master. I cannot allow people like her who are only seeking fame to continue to flaunt their achievements in front of others."
Xiao Yanci tried to stop them, "Don't worry. Everyone thinks you and I have already been killed by the Qiangdi people. So, we might as well take advantage of this and make some plans. If the enemy knows, we will be in the dark, and it will be much easier to act."
Ge Xubai was not an impulsive person, and he quickly calmed down.
Indeed, his and Prince Jin's "death" would make the people behind the scenes think that their schemes had succeeded. Once they got carried away, it would naturally be easier for them to find evidence against them.
"What are your plans, Your Highness? I will obey your orders."
"Don't worry, there are plenty of places where you can be used."
Xiao Yanci looked at Jiang Nansheng, "Nansheng, do you have a way to break that witchcraft?"
Jiang Nansheng didn't dare to boast. "I've discussed it with Miss Ye's guards, and I do have a method to remove the poison, but I haven't tested it yet. I have to try to see if it works. But I need a patient."
Xiao Yanci looked at Ge Xubai again, "General Ge, can you quietly deliver the poisoned soldiers here without exposing yourself?"
Ge Xubai nodded immediately, "This is not difficult."
He has been doing business here for many years and has many trusted subordinates, so it's not impossible that he can't even handle such a small matter.
"Okay, then please take care of this first."
Lu Zhiran speculated about his plan, "Your Highness, are you planning to have Nan Sheng replace Zhao Shuning and steal all the credit?"
Xiao Yanci nodded. "If she can steal the credit from the Jiang family, then Nan Sheng can certainly steal hers. She's creating public opinion, making the people worship her as a female healer. We can do the same and let Nan Sheng take her place."
Jiang Nansheng paused for a moment, "I may not be able to cure the poison."
"That's fine. If you can figure it out, that's great. If you can't, we have other solutions. There's one thing we can all learn from Zhao Shuning: her ability to deceive. She can create mystery and elevate her reputation, and so can we."
Jiang Nansheng's expression relaxed slightly and he nodded slowly.
Lu Zhiran added, "Zhao Shuning dared to set up such a big scheme. She definitely didn't do it alone. She must have help."
Ge Xubai's eyes darkened slightly. "It was Gu Zhaolin. It was he who facilitated Zhao Shuning's opportunity to come up with the prescription and use it on the soldiers. Moreover, he has a special bond with Zhao Shuning. If Zhao Shuning asks, he will be happy to follow his lead."
He and Gu Zhaolin had always been at odds. When his master was poisoned last time, Gu Zhaolin was highly suspected. Ge Xubai no longer had any feelings for him and just called him by his name.
Lu Zhiran raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and Ye Hanyi's eyes widened instantly.
"What kind of special friendship? Is it a love between a man and a woman?"
Ge Xubai nodded.
He didn't like to talk about other people's shortcomings, but facing the curious gazes of several people, he still said a few more words.
"Earlier, Zhao Shuning had made considerable contributions to the Xiping epidemic, and Gu Zhaolin was deeply attracted to her. He even proposed to Master to marry her, but Zhao Shuning rejected him."
Zhao Shuning chose Chu Yian.
She would rather be Chu Yian's equal wife than marry Gu Zhaolin.
This choice deeply hurt Gu Zhaolin's heart and made him depressed for a while.
Gu Qishan was very angry about this and scolded him for being sentimental and unfit for important tasks.
Ye Hanyi was amazed. "Zhao Shuning rejected him and married someone else, so why is this young general still willing to follow her orders? I didn't realize it. Zhao Shuning is really charming!"
Ye Hanyi felt that Zhao Shuning was just an average-looking person. To be frank, she even thought she was prettier than Zhao Shuning. She never expected that someone could be so devoted to her.
Lu Zhiran was only briefly surprised.
Zhao Shuning does have some abilities. If she wants to win someone over, she always has her own way.
And those who are attracted to her are probably people of the same mind as her.
Xiao Yanci sneered, "What a fool to be led by a woman."
During this period, he also had some dealings with Gu Zhaolin. It can only be said that he was lucky to be adopted by Gu Qishan. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would have been just like everyone else.
But this person has evil intentions and always thinks he is smart. This time, he will be dealt with as well.
After everyone had finished their discussion, they were about to disperse and go their separate ways. Jiang Nansheng couldn't help but speak.
"Can I go see my grandfather first?"
Even though she had lost her memory, she was still thinking about this matter, fearing that if she went too late, something might happen to her grandfather.
She didn't want to fall into regret after regaining her memory.
Xiao Yanci looked at Ge Xubai, but Ge Xubai said, "It would be most appropriate if Master arranged this matter. I am not in a position to do it myself. If my people were to do it, I'm afraid they wouldn't be strong enough to protect Miss Jiang."
Zhao Shuning and Gu Zhaolin are in the same group, and if Jiang Nansheng has Gu Qishan's support, even if Zhao Shuning wants to take action, he will have to think carefully.
Ge Xubai's proposal also signaled that he did not want to hide their plan from his master.
He trusted his master and did not want his master to worry about his safety.
If the master knew that he was safe, he would be able to relax and focus on recovering from his injuries.
Xiao Yanci did not object.
"This arrangement is indeed the most appropriate. Our subsequent plans also require General Gu's internal and external support. However, you two, master and disciple, must be cautious in your communication and must not leak any information."
Ge Xubai nodded seriously, "Don't worry, we have our own special way of contacting you."
After the matter was agreed upon, Ge Xubai did not linger any longer and quickly went to make arrangements.
Lu Zhiran could see that she was still worried and spoke to her in comfort, "Nan Sheng, don't worry too much. Old Doctor Jiang is a man of strong character. He came here to earn a living for the younger generation of the Jiang family. Now that something has happened, he is worried and will not let anything happen to himself."
The Jiang family bears this stigma, and even if Old Doctor Jiang dies, he will never be at peace.
As long as he still has this belief, he will not die.
Jiang Nansheng felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Ye Hanyi also said, "Zhiran is absolutely right. Your visit to Old Doctor Jiang is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself. Since we are going to take action, we must plan carefully and win in one fell swoop. If you show up rashly, it will only make Zhao Shuning wary."
This makes sense.
The Jiang family's current reputation would become a burden to Jiang Nansheng, so it is not appropriate for her to make it public at this time.
But if Jiang Nansheng was a female doctor of unknown origin with no one to rely on, Zhao Shuning would definitely take action to get rid of her.
Zhao Shuning would not tolerate such a huge threat.
Therefore, Jiang Nansheng's appearance in what identity and at what opportunity requires careful consideration and arrangement.
On this side, Gu Qishan regrouped his troops and went out of the city to search for the whereabouts of Xiao Yanci and Ge Xubai.
If they are alive, we must see their bodies. If they are dead, we must see their bodies. They cannot die in such an unclear way.
