Qin Qingxue's mood finally improved a little. She was treated as a guest of honor again, which satisfied her vanity.
"I have something to say to Your Highness!" Shi Wushuang said.
The third prince understood what he meant.
"Come into my carriage!"
The three of them got into the carriage together.
The third prince's carriage was pulled by eight horses and was very spacious inside.
The carriages alone took up half the road.
Especially when they saw so many troops, the carriages carrying merchants kept away from them and did not dare to compete with them at all.
It was also Qin Qingxue's first time riding in such a spacious carriage, and she looked around curiously.
There are all kinds of utensils inside.
There was a table, and there was a small bedroom with a bed at the back.
In your free time, you can drink tea and rest in the front, and sleep in the room when you are tired.
He is indeed worthy of being a prince, he really knows how to enjoy himself.
Qin Qingxue suddenly thought of Li Ye again.
If I were with him at this time, would I also be qualified to ride in such a carriage?
Traveling is so comfortable and prestigious.
The Third Prince took the initiative to pour tea for the two of them and asked, "The sound of your conversation here won't be heard. Just say whatever you want to say!"
Shi Wushuang said: "Wushuang would like to thank the Third Prince for his generosity and rescue last time.
This time I came here to fulfill my promise and assist His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The Third Prince was overjoyed when he heard this: "I knew you would keep your word.
Tell me, what methods do you have to deal with the barbarians?
Our biggest enemy is the barbarians. If we can defeat them, the other small countries will not be worth mentioning at all.
Two years ago, you led the troops and defeated the barbarians once, so you have the most experience in dealing with them."
Shi Wushuang said sternly, "Does Your Highness still regard the barbarians as your greatest enemy?"
The Third Prince frowned: "What do you mean? The Emperor asked me to lead the army to deal with the enemy country.
Only by destroying the enemy can we achieve success."
Shi Wushuang shook his head and said, "In fact, I have never taken the enemy country seriously.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince’s biggest enemy should be the Sixth Prince.
His ability is so strong that he made a big splash at the tea party a few days ago. Many people regard him as an idol.
Many of these people are disciples of powerful people and will serve as officials in the court in the future.
Once these people fully support him, it will be a great help in seizing the throne.
This alone is extremely terrifying, not to mention that he now has military power.
What would happen even if His Royal Highness the Third Prince defeated the enemy?
Instead, the throne will fall into the hands of the Sixth Prince.
Are you really willing to accept that all your efforts are for the benefit of others?"
Shi Wushuang's words touched his heart directly.
The third prince became furious when he thought about it.
This is why he wants to lead the army and establish the throne, isn't it just to gain the emperor's approval?
He wanted to defeat Li Ye and put him under his feet.
But these words cannot be said explicitly.
As a prince, he must maintain superficial family ties.
However, since Shi Wushuang had already revealed the truth, the Third Prince regarded him as his confidant.
Without hiding his thoughts any longer, he sighed helplessly and said, "Of course I want to completely suppress him. If anything happens to him, it will be good for me."
"That's right. If His Royal Highness the Third Prince just wants to establish a career, then it would be much easier.
But since I want to assist Your Highness, I will naturally do my best to help Your Highness seize the throne.
The Sixth Prince's ability is so strong that even I find it difficult to suppress him.
The best way is to eliminate it and prevent future troubles."
Shi Wushuang no longer had anything to hide and directly exposed his ambition.
The third prince was suddenly frightened, but the more frightened he was, the more he believed in Shi Wushuang.
After all, if you dare to say this, you have already handed the handle to him.
It is absolutely certain that Shi Wushuang is truly loyal to him.
The third prince was extremely surprised.
He no longer hid anything and said, "He is a prince and holds military power. How easy is it to kill him?
I want to do the same, but I can't leave any evidence.
At least I still can’t do it at the moment.”
"This is the reason why Wushuang came to help His Highness! My previous plan was to win over the barbarians to fight against Li Ye.
First, treat the barbarians as the knife in our hands, and then defeat them after dealing with Li Ye.
It can not only solve the biggest threats, but also build a career.
Whoever can destroy the enemy country will naturally inherit the throne.
The weapons provided by His Highness have been delivered to the barbarians, and their strength has been greatly improved.
The key is to use this as an opportunity to cooperate with them to deal with the Sixth Prince Li Ye."
Shi Wushuang immediately told his plan.
He did this not only to use the barbarians to deal with Li Ye, but also because of the Jialing Pass controlled by the Third Prince.
They can unscrupulously smuggle all kinds of prohibited items and make huge profits.
Ever since Li Ye exposed the poisonous nature of Yunlu Pavilion's medicine, many people stopped buying their medicine.
This resulted in a sharp drop in Yunlu Pavilion's revenue, making the situation even worse than before.
So Shi Wushuang must find a way to make money to make up for the losses.
The fastest way to get money is to ask the enemy country to provide ironware, food and some medicinal materials.
It can not only make money and win over the barbarians, but also attack Dayuan, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
"This method is not bad, but the barbarians are not trustworthy. How can we make them deal with Li Ye according to our plan?"
"That's easy! It's so easy to win over the barbarians! As long as we give them the supplies they need, they will naturally be willing to cooperate.
Also, find out some information about the Sixth Prince and provide it to the barbarians.
As long as the slightest flaw is revealed, the barbarians can send troops to launch a surprise attack on the Sixth Prince.
We are supporting them from the side, we just need to slow down the rescue and the barbarians will succeed.
Wait until they are both exhausted, then we will launch a surprise attack.
Destroying the barbarian army can both establish one's power and take revenge, achieving two great feats in one move.
Even the Crown Prince probably can't compare to you."
As the Third Prince listened to Shi Wushuang's plan, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
But he was still a little worried and said, "Your plan is indeed perfect, but what if I perform too well?
This will certainly arouse the prince's fear, because all my food and supplies are in his hands.
If he stabs me in the back at a critical moment, I won't have enough food and grass, and I'll definitely lose the battle later."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I have already considered this for you.
If Your Highness controls Jialing Pass, he can smuggle goods in large quantities.
Your Highness should know that the profit from smuggling goods is extremely high, even more than ten times.
A portion of the money earned was left at the border as food and wages to win over the soldiers.
The other part was given to Wushuang to purchase a large amount of food and fodder through the power of Yunlu Pavilion.
Take full control of the supply of food and fodder into your own hands.
Even if the Crown Prince were to cause trouble, it would not affect the Third Prince's ability to lead the army into battle."
