Chapter 309
Liu Shangshu nodded, "Your Majesty asked me to arrest the spy, and he told me his plan early on. On the bright side, the troops were divided into two groups, one in the open and the other in the dark. But the one that attacked Jiangzhou City secretly was actually Old and weak. His Majesty's focus is on the prince of Qiguo."

"On the surface, this plan is to hide the old warehouse. But in fact... it is to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The people who are sent to Jiangzhou City are all selected by me... to die." He sighed heavily, "I think the fate of those people , is fate. I really can't bear it."

The heavy sigh of the middle-aged man echoed in the silent tent.

"Liu Shangshu is merciful." Cao Da looked admiringly, his eyes swayed from side to side, "Why should your majesty take human life as a test? Why don't you just take it?"

"Since His Majesty took the throne, he has not been favored. Dealing with an important minister is naturally not easy to win."

"Oh." Cao Da sighed helplessly.

"Master Cao, the reason why I told you is because I have an unfeeling request."

"Tell me." Cao Da looked serious.

"I just hope that by then, you and I will submit the booklet together, and the pensions for those soldiers will be more given from the household department." He stated his purpose.

"It's easy to talk about." Cao Da agreed naturally.

Hearing this, Liu Shangshu seemed to have put down a big rock, slumped on the chair, and let out a long breath, "I only hope that after paying such a price, His Majesty's plan can be implemented smoothly."

"Your Majesty brought good soldiers and horses, right? They will definitely win the battle." Cao Da nodded affirmatively.

"Indeed, almost all the soldiers and horses brought this time are on board." Liu Shangshu agreed, "Your Majesty, this can be regarded as... desperate."

The two talked about this topic for a while, and Cao Da didn't say goodbye until the sun went down.Liu Shangshu didn't keep him, and sent him away politely, the smile on his face disappeared.

He still couldn't be sure whether he was doing the right thing or not.

Because of Zhao Duofu's incident and His Majesty's reminder, he had no choice but to doubt Cao Da.But Cao Da's face was so normal that it was almost impossible to find a fault.

Not only can he find fault with himself, but even his family members are very well behaved.He wasn't even proud of his promotion.

Liu Shangshu remembered Lin Heng's words and actions.

Combining them together, isn't it a blindfold?

He quickly realized at the time that it was telling him to use a blindfold.If Cao Da really had a problem, he would have set a trap just now.As long as he takes action, His Majesty can justifiably arrest him.

But...if not?

Liu Shangshu shook his head, everything has been done, why think so much?
Thinking of this, he went back to the tent.

But after he entered the tent, Lin Yan walked out of his own tent and followed Cao Da without looking sideways.

Seemingly feeling something, Cao Da paused in his footsteps, intending to pretend that nothing happened and continue walking forward.A voice came from behind——

"Lord Cao."

Now that he was called himself, Cao Da had no reason to keep going.His mind was running fast, and he turned around with a warm smile.

"Wan Xiao Wang Wan'an."

"Since you found someone behind you, why don't you look back?" Lin Yan walked up to him with a smile on his face.

"It's because I'm stupid, I really didn't notice that you, King Wen Xiao, are standing behind you." Cao Da hastily apologized.

Lin Yan looked at him with a deep smile.

"Don't you think it's strange that Liu Shangshu is looking for you?"

Cao Da didn't answer, but looked at him in puzzlement.

"Cao Da, are you an old man from Qiguo?" Lin Yan folded his arms around his chest, seeing his face became more puzzled, and the smile on his face deepened. He raised his hand and walked outside the camp for a while. In a hidden forest.

Cao Da thought for a moment, then followed.

Lin Zi was secretive and quiet, Lin Yan stood still under a tree with a crooked neck, turned around and looked at Cao Da with a smile on his face.

"A secret work of Qiguo, now I have become the Minister of the Household Department of Dajin." Lin Yan said leisurely, "Lin Heng trusts you... Well, you are very successful."

"His Royal Highness King Wen Xiao, how can you slander the lower officials?" Cao Da showed panic, "The lower officials have worked hard for so many years, all for the sake of the Great Jin, so why are you related to Qi Guo! Besides, what evidence do you have on the website?" said In the end, he stuck out his chest, as if to cheer himself up.

"Without evidence, I would call you here with such certainty?" Lin Yan sneered.

"Since we have evidence, let's argue in front of His Majesty!" Cao Da's round face was bulging and red, looking rather annoyed.

"Okay." Lin Yan nodded, but he didn't move, and said calmly, "Do you know how I survived? Except for the meticulous work in my marching team, he drove me to the cliff. In order to survive, I I fell into the cliff on my own initiative. But because the cliff was not steep, I brought ropes and weapons. So I was able to survive."

"After surviving, I walked all the way to the capital. Walking and walking, I came to Bashu." Lin Yan said slowly, "In Bashu, I found out the truth about the disrepair of the dam. You. It was you who secretly exchanged the wood, planted your own superior and replaced him. As soon as Lin Heng and Lin Wei arrived, you implemented the plan and became the Minister of the Household Department with your merits."

"Now you have become an important minister in the court, and you have also become the emperor's confidant. This is very beneficial for you to start the country." Lin Yan nodded himself while talking, "I just saw you coming out of Liu Shangshu's camp. "I guess the two of you are talking about something?"

"What Your Highness said seems to be true." Cao Da shook his head helplessly.

"I know you won't admit it, so I keep the testimony in my hand." Lin Yan said, "In Bashu, I captured the people who transported the materials at that time. And the workers who repaired the embankment with the former Minister of the Household Department...the confession. "

"No." Cao Da shook his head, "It's useless for you to have these confessions."

The expression on the face that was still annoyed just now sank instantly.

He stared straight at the other party, and said in an unhurried tone, "Do you think His Majesty trusts me? Or trusts you?"

There was a trace of hesitation in Lin Yan's eyes.

"Even if the emperor was incompetent before, now that he is the emperor, can he really endure your survival, King Wen Xiao?"

"What? He can still kill Gu in public?" Lin Yan snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain, "Wanted to kill Gu after taking away Gu's throne?!"

The ex-prince's character has been unstable because of the new emperor.Cao Da narrowed his eyes and took two steps forward, "Your Highness, do you want to take back the throne?"

Hearing what he meant, Lin Yan's fiery mind finally calmed down.

"Why? Master Cao, what's your opinion?"

"Wouldn't it be nice if the dragons didn't have a leader?" Cao Da laughed, "When the time comes, the officials will definitely recommend you to be the leader."

"Hehe~ How does Gu know that you are sincere?" Lin Yan took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom, "This is the poison that Gu got by chance in Bashu. You, take one, and Gu will give you the antidote after it's done."
