Chapter 186 Things come true in a secret way
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinrui looked at Zong Wenzhi with gratitude and said, "Master is wise. It was I who nearly ruined your plan. I am truly ashamed!"
Thinking of his own recklessness, Xiao Jinrui felt extremely guilty at this moment, and then he bowed in front of Zong Wenzhi with a face full of shame.
Zong Wenzhi looked at him complimenting him so much, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly gave him a hand, just lifting his arm to help him get up.
"Alas, what are you saying, Prince Rui? Secrecy is key to success, while disclosure leads to failure. Before I get definitive information, I dare not speak carelessly. This will only make Prince Rui worried!"
Seeing Zong Wenzhi's attitude, Xiao Jinrui felt annoyed. He naturally didn't believe what Zong Wenzhi said. Seeing that he was becoming more and more disobedient, Xiao Jinrui had already been wary of him.
It's just that the current matters all need him to deal with, so it's not right for me to put it in his hands. After the matter is done, if he is still so stubborn and insists on having his own way, then don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless!
If you look closely, you can find that there have been differences between Xiao Jinrui and his apprentice for a long time, and now they are just maintaining superficial harmony.
The two discussed it for a while before Xiao Jinrui looked at Zong Wenzhi and said, "Master, although Nangong Junze is now poisoned and will not live long, I cannot sense his final moments. We still cannot let our guard down. How about I send someone to add fuel to the fire and make sure Nangong Junze dies without a burial place!"
Seeing the cruelty in Xiao Jinrui's eyes, Zong Wenzhi's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xiao Jinrui and said:
"No, Nangong Junze is already dying. There is no need to cause trouble for a dying person. Even if we let him leave Kyoto now, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it to the Nanmo Kingdom's palace.
If we give him hope, but he finds himself powerless in the end, wouldn't that be a further blow to Nangong Mo, forcing him to watch his only prince die with his own eyes? This is probably exactly what King Cheng wants."
Listening to Zong Wenzhi's words and thinking of Nangong Cheng's hypocrisy, Xiao Jinrui suddenly fell silent. You know, Nangong Cheng just blocked an arrow for Nangong Mo, and was then entrusted with an important task by Nangong Mo.
In just a few years, Nangong Cheng became the only prince in Nanmo Kingdom who held a large army. However, even if he had not taken the arrow for Nangong Mo, Nangong Mo would not have been in any danger.
It was just that Nangong Mo was grateful for his sincerity, so he only wanted to help him more, but he didn't realize that when he gave all his help, he got a weapon to kill him.
The saying "greedy people are greedy" is very suitable for Nangong Cheng. Nangong Mo himself must have never thought that he had only blocked an arrow for him, but now it would cost him his life!
But what does all this have to do with him? Now, as long as you help him ascend to the throne, you are his ally. Naturally, he doesn't care about other matters!
Xiao Jinrui narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at Zong Wenzhi and bowed, "Yes, everything will be arranged by Master!"
"Your Highness, Prince Ze has arrived and is waiting in the front hall!"
As the two were talking, they heard the doorman coming to report. Hearing that Xiao Jinhui had arrived, Xiao Jinrui couldn't help but frown, and a smile flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he was not the only one who couldn't sit still and coughed!
After looking at Zong Wenzhi and seeing him nod slightly, Xiao Jinrui said to the outside, "Have someone serve some good tea. I'll be right there!"
"Yes!"
After the doorman left, Xiao Jinrui looked at Zong Wenzhi and said, "Prince Ze is coming here at this time. I guess he must have heard the news. Master, I will go over and see what he wants to do."
Seeing Xiao Jinrui's eagerness, Zong Wenzhi couldn't help but cough lightly, and then looked at Xiao Jinrui and instructed: "Prince Ze's purpose of coming here this time must be for Nangong Junze's matter. Everything should be done according to the opportunity. Don't miss the important matter of Prince Cheng."
Although Xiao Jinrui was somewhat unwilling, he also knew what was more important. Naturally, he would not interfere with this matter any further. He immediately looked at Zong Wenzhi and said, "Master, don't worry. I know what to do!"
Zong Wenzhi nodded slightly in agreement, then stood up and walked outside.
Watching Zong Wenzhi leave, Xiao Jinrui's eyes flashed with a sinister look, but it quickly disappeared. Thinking of Xiao Jinhui waiting in the hall, Xiao Jinrui waved his sleeves, forced a smile on his face, and then walked over with a smile on his face.
Xiao Jinhui sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip pretending to be calm. When he saw Xiao Jinrui coming in, his eyes flashed slightly. Then he stood up and walked towards Xiao Jinrui.
"Third brother, something terrible has happened in Kyoto. I don't know if you've heard that Crown Prince Nangong has suddenly fallen seriously ill and is now dying. What do you think we should do about this?"
Seeing Xiao Jinhui's normal expression, not as worried as he said, Xiao Jinrui's heart suddenly became clear. He was afraid that he had the same idea as himself just now, hoping that his father would use this incident to punish Xiao Jingchuan.
But no matter what, since he has this idea, I naturally cannot discourage him from doing so.
"This matter has been widely reported. How could I not know about it? If something happens to Prince Nangong in Kyoto, I'm afraid the Nanmo Kingdom will not let it go!"
"Everyone has their own responsibility. Since Xiao Jingchuan was negligent in his duties first, he should naturally take the blame. When the time comes, we can hand him over to the Nanmo Kingdom to atone for his sins. One life for another, that's fair!"
Xiao Jinhui didn't care about Xiao Jinrui's words. Since Xiao Jingchuan came back, he felt that his status was growing day by day, which made him feel unprecedentedly worried. If he could take this opportunity to get rid of him, it would save him a lot of effort.
Xiao Jinhui's plan naturally did not escape Xiao Jinrui's eyes. Although his master said not to pay too much attention to this matter to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, but if you can let me make things difficult for Xiao Jingchuan, that's not impossible. Xiao Jinrui's eyes flashed slightly, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He immediately looked at Xiao Jinhui and said:
"What my royal brother said is not without reason, but I wonder how the emperor will deal with him! You know, the emperor already feels indebted to him. Even if he has failed in his duties, given the emperor's partiality for him, I'm afraid it will just be a matter of making a big deal out of a small matter!"
"A prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner! Even if the emperor favors him, he will not ignore the request from the Nanmo Kingdom. When I arrived, I heard that the emperor summoned him to the palace. It must be for this matter.
No, if the emperor is deceived by his sweet words, wouldn't it put the emperor in an unjust position?
