Chapter 42 Undercover
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have sent you a letter. Please take a look."

"Bring it here."

Lord Mo nodded calmly, reached out to take the letter from the other person's hand, opened it and began to read.

"Your Highness, what's in the letter?" The general beside him couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, it's just some boring stuff. You can take a look at it." Lord Mo casually threw the letter to everyone, and everyone immediately passed it around.

After reading the contents of the barbarian letter, everyone's face was filled with anger. Some of the more irritable ones couldn't help but slam their hands on the table and said, "How dare you, the northern barbarians, covet our Beijiang City territory and even want to enter the pass. What a dream! These damn beasts, I know what they are up to as soon as they take off their pants. We have a deep grudge against the barbarians, how can they truly help us? It's good enough that they don't stab us in the back."

"Your Highness, please think twice. Allowing barbarians to enter the pass is like inviting a wolf into the house. The consequences will be disastrous!"

"No, everyone might as well put themselves in their shoes. This may be a good opportunity for us."

At this moment, a voice that was out of tune with everyone else suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, everyone was startled and subconsciously turned to look at the person who spoke.

"Old Li, what do you mean by that? What good opportunity?"

"Everyone, think about it, if we want to accomplish something now, where is the biggest hidden danger?"

"Stop beating around the bush and just let it out. I hate you guys who keep me in suspense and shit halfway."

"You have a bad temper. If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Humph."

Old Li stood up, looked at Lord Mo, and said seriously, "Your Highness, the northern barbarians are eyeing us covetously, and their hearts are lingering over our Northern Frontier City. If we don't agree, they will definitely try to trip us up when we go south."

"What? Do you mean that the prince should agree to hand over Beijiang City to the barbarians? Did you drink too much and your brain is filled with water? Don't you know what will happen once the barbarian army successfully enters the pass?" One person couldn't help but shout.

"You old bastard, could you please listen to what I have to say? If you don't have a brain, just shut up and stop talking. You're just talking like you're capable."

"Hey! You old bastard, you said I'm no good, but I can beat three of you by myself!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing and listen to what Lao Li has to say."

"Humph."

Lao Li reorganized himself and immediately said:
"Of course we can't hand over Northern Frontier City to the barbarians, but we can definitely pretend to agree and take advantage of their trick."

"Although I don't know who came up with this idea for the Barbarian King and what their purpose is, those simple-minded barbarians certainly wouldn't be able to come up with such a plan. There must be someone behind the scenes giving them advice, and I'm afraid that person's motives are not simple."

"If he's not an incompetent fool, then he's trying to use us as collaborators, either to consolidate his position among the barbarians, or... he has other motives."

"But no matter what his purpose is, we can follow his plan and use this opportunity to weaken the northern barbarians. If we can use this opportunity to lure out the barbarian king and eliminate him, it would be even better. They have all offered their heads to us to chop off. If we don't accept it, wouldn't we be too sorry for them? So I say this is a good opportunity for us, isn't it?"

Everyone was silent, looking at Lao Li with strange eyes.

"Old Li, when did you become so clever? Why haven't you been so articulate before? Have you been possessed by someone, you old bastard?"

"Fuck you, I've always been smart, okay? Do you think everyone is like you, rushing into battle recklessly?"

"Your Highness, I think what Old Li said is correct. Although I don't know the purpose of the person behind this, this matter is beneficial to our Beijiang City, so we might be able to take advantage of it."

Lord Mo smiled faintly, "General Li's idea coincides with mine. Just when I'm sleepy, someone brings me a pillow. How can I refuse it?"

"Send someone to treat the messenger well. I'll write back to the barbarians and throw out the bait. Let's see if Kemmerdal takes it."

As the early morning turned to night, the backyard of Prince Wu's mansion.

A man in black, wrapped tightly in a black robe, appeared in Lord Mo's secret room.

The moment the other party took off the disguise on his face and revealed his true face, he immediately knelt on one knee, leaned forward and said, "Suo Yingzhuo greets the prince."

That’s right, no one would have thought that Suo Yingzhuo was actually an undercover agent planted by Lord Mo next to the Barbarian King!
Years of lurking, all for this day.

"Get up. It seems that you have gained Kemmerdal's trust. You have done a good job." Lord Mo stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.

"Everything Suo Yingzhuo has was given by the prince. If the prince hadn't found Suo Yingzhuo five years ago, Suo Yingzhuo wouldn't be in the position he is today. It's Suo Yingzhuo's blessing to be able to work for the prince."

"I know what you want to do. After Kemmerdar dies, I can promise you that you will be the new king of the north."

"So Yingzhuo thanks the prince!" So Yingzhuo responded excitedly.

"To avoid suspicion, you should return. As long as you can get Kemmerdar to pass through, I can kill him for you and let you take his place. As for how you accomplish this, it all depends on your own ability."

"In order to dispel Kemmerdal's suspicion, Suoyinzhuo needs to borrow something from the prince."

"explain."

"I want five boxes full of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a hundred carts of food. As long as the prince is willing to give them, I will be 100% sure to persuade Kemmerdar to lead the army into Beijiang City."

Lord Mo did not hesitate and slowly said, "In three days, I will prepare what you want. I hope you will not let me down."

"Suo Yingzhuo will definitely live up to the prince's trust!" Suo Yingzhuo said nervously.

"Let's go back."

"Yes, Suo Yingzhuo will take his leave."

Suo Yingzhuo put on his nightgown again and left Prince Wu's palace with a nimble figure.

At this moment, Xu Bo appeared in the secret room and warned, "Your Highness, this man has wicked ambitions and is not one to sit still. He can bite back at Kemmerdal, and he might bite us back in the future too. We must be on guard."

A glint of disdain flashed across Mo Shenjun's eyes as he said calmly, "Of course I know he won't settle down. He's still useful now, so I'm not afraid of him biting people. A dog that knows how to bite is a good dog. Once a dog starts biting its owner, it's time to kill it and eat its meat."

"Your Highness is wise." Xu Bo nodded and said no more.

Three days later, the barbarian envoys left Beijiang City with five large boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a hundred carts of grain.

Upon learning of this, the entire Beijiang City was speculating whether Lord Mo had secretly reached some agreement with the barbarians.

Otherwise, why would the Prince Wu's Mansion give so much money and food to the hateful barbarians? Isn't this helping the barbarians to harm their own people?
In the eyes of everyone in Beijiang City, the barbarians are a group of ungrateful people who can never be fed. They are always coveting their land, money, food and women.

Lord Mo did not explain this, nor did he need to.

Explaining too much will only make you more likely to reveal your true identity.

All he had to do now was to prepare everything and wait for Kemmerdal to fall into the trap.

When the barbarian army entered the pass, they would keep them all in Beijiang City forever.
