Xu Shu pushed open the door and carefully walked in.
After entering, the first thing he did was to pick up his sword and put it back into its sheath. Then, he cupped his hands and said,
"This subordinate went to see a good friend, but caused my lord to almost be killed by an assassin.”
"No worries."
Qin Wen waved his hand and did not blame him.
Even if Xu Shu was there, he wouldn't be of much help.
Xu Shu heaved a sigh of relief and explained,
"My lord, actually, my good friend guessed that my lord would be assassinated last night and would be safe and sound.”
Qin Wen was startled.
Originally, he was interested in Xu Shu's good friend. Now that Xu Shu mentioned it, he was even more interested.
"This man is a man of divine foresight. Can you tell me his name, Yuanzhi?"”
Xu Shu shook his head without hesitation.
"Please forgive me, my lord. I promised him that I wouldn't reveal any information about him. I only promised that we would meet if we were fated.”
It was quite mysterious.
Qin Wen smiled and didn't hesitate. He told Xu Shu what happened last night and this morning.
Some of the content was automatically omitted.
About fifteen minutes later.
Xu Shu ended his listening and began to ponder.
Qin Wen poured a cup of tea for herself and asked Xiao Yue to prepare the food. She waited quietly.
Not long after, Xu Shu suddenly smiled.
"My lord, He Jin and Zhang Rang are both higher in status and power than you. It is not up to my lord to interfere in the succession of the throne.”
"If my guess is correct, the lord has something they need, and this thing is related to the ownership of the throne.”
Under the effect of the Bright Mirror Water Seal, Xu Shu's current intelligence soared to 99.
Qin Wen raised the teacup to her mouth but did not drink it.
At this moment, his emotions were extremely complicated.
He thought about it for the entire night and still couldn't understand, but Xu Shu managed to analyze it in a few minutes.
Xu Shu, who had the Bright Mirror and Water-stopping Water, had an extremely high ability to discern conspiracies.
Thinking of this, Qin Wen put down his teacup.
He took out the jade token and placed it on the table.
"This is what they want. I just figured it out.”
Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands."
"Congratulations in advance, my lord. With this jade token, you can negotiate with He Jin and Zhang Rang.”
Before Qin Wen could respond.
"Thump thump thump…"
A series of hurried footsteps sounded.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Lord Marquis, I am a waiter of a restaurant. Here is a visiting card from the Great General.”
Qin Wen looked at Xu Shu, and the two of them smiled at each other.
Everyone knew why He Jin suddenly handed over the visiting card.
Qin Wen stood up and opened the door. He took the visiting card from the waiter and glanced downstairs.
Who else could it be but He Jin?
"Thank you."
After thanking the waiter, Qin Wen walked out of the room and prepared to go downstairs to meet He Jin.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Then, he reached behind the waiter.
When he retracted his hand, a black feather appeared in his hand.
"You have a chicken feather on you."
Qin Wen smiled at the waiter and walked down the stairs with the black feather.
"The restaurant doesn't have chicken feathers, so where do they come from? Strange."
The waiter scratched his head and muttered.
After Qin Wen went down the stairs, He Jin came up to her warmly and said,"
"I knew that Brother Qin would see me. This time, I came with sincerity.”
Qin Wen's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
"Great General, are you interested in cooperating? Kill the Ten Generals and help Prince Bian ascend to the throne?”
Hearing this, He Jin's face trembled.
What exactly happened?
Previously, she had been lukewarm to him and never mentioned supporting Liu Bian.
Now, he was prepared to spend a lot of money to exchange for the jade token in the other party's hand, and the other party was prepared to support him.
Are all mutants so fickle?
He Jin did not hesitate too much and replied,
" The Ten Attendants of the Supreme Court have caused chaos in the court. I have long wanted to eliminate them, but they are powerful and have the Empress Dowager backing them. If I want to kill them, I'm afraid…"
"I have an idea."
Qin Wen interrupted him impatiently, took out the jade token and waved it in front of He Jin.
"After the matter is done, I only want one thing from the Royal Treasury, and this jade token is yours.”
"Alright, I'll do it!"
He Jin laughed out loud.
Qin Wen quietly clenched the black feather in his hand.
The black feather was the secret signal between him and Baiqi, which meant that Zhang Rang and the others were about to attack.
Did he really think he was made of mud?
This group of damn eunuchs really didn't know how to write the word 'death'.
……
That night.
An edict came from the Imperial Palace.
Great General He Jin and Empress He discussed and gathered the members of the Liu Clan into the capital to participate in the state funeral.
Soon after, more rumors spread.
After the country ended, He Jin would help the prince ascend to the throne and let the members of the imperial clan witness it.
The palace had no lack of women.
There were even more women in the harem.
The women in the harem were bored and loved gossip and gossip.
"Have you heard? The Great General wants to support Prince Braid to ascend the throne. Don't go out and spread rumors.”
"Don't worry, I won't say anything."
……
"The Great General wants to kill Prince Xie for Prince Bian's ascension.”
"Are you still worried about my mouth?"
……
"This is too scary. The Great General planned to kill the two princes and become the emperor himself.”
"What is it? This is incredible."
……
The rumors became more and more ridiculous.
"Godfather, something bad has happened!"
A young eunuch shouted loudly and stumbled toward Zhang Rang's room.
In the room, Zhang Rang was resting with his eyes closed.
Zhang Rang couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how he would be able to capture Qin Wen and obtain the jade token from him.
"Godfather, something happened!"
With a panicked voice, the young eunuch rushed into the room.
Zhang Rang's good mood instantly disappeared. His powdered face was filled with impatience as he berated,
"What are you talking about?"
The young eunuch poured out He Jin's orders and the messages from the palace.
The more Zhang Rang heard, the more shocked he became.
Naturally, he did not believe that He Jin wanted to rebel, but He Jin had summoned the Han clan into the capital, most likely to let Liu Bian ascend the throne so that he could control the government.
Could it be that he had already obtained the jade token?
Zhang Rang didn't dare to think about it anymore and quickly found the hidden sentries to monitor Qin Wen.
The sentry reported truthfully.
"After Lord left, He Jin returned to the restaurant an hour later. When he left, he seemed very happy and kept saying that Marquis Langya was very kind.”
……
"Something bad has happened!"
Zhang Rang cried out in pain. His eyes went black and he fell back.
"Godfather!"
"Godfather!"
The young eunuch supported Zhang Rang and pinched his philtrum.
Zhang Rang exhaled and finally woke up.
"Hurry up and invite Zhao Zhong and the others! Hurry!"
After saying that, Zhang Rang fainted again.
