Du Qi and company left Chu Suiliang's house. After they got on the cement road, they boarded the carriage and continued on their way.
Shangguan Yi sat beside Du Qi and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Chu Suiliang was hesitant when he answered earlier. I think there's a problem. I think it's inappropriate to send Chu Suiliang to Sovereign Capital. Even if Chu Suiliang arrives in Sovereign Capital, we have to be careful with his appointment. We cannot entrust him with any important tasks. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi continued, "In short, I believe there's a seventy to eighty percent chance that Chu Suiliang is a pawn arranged by Li Shimin in Chang 'an. He wants Chu Suiliang to hide in Xia Xia as Li Shimin's spy. Li Shimin is unable to defeat us in a direct confrontation, so he's taking action from the shadows. "
Shangguan Yi was worried.
All this while, Shangguan Yi had been aware of the Tang dynasty's officials' recruitment. Be it Su Dingfang or Li Jing, they were different. Chu Suiliang was different. There was clearly a problem.
Du Qi said with a faint smile, "Shangguan Yi, you are confused by your concern. I accepted Chu Suiliang and even sent him to Sovereign Capital. However, the treatment I gave him and the conversation I had with him, didn't you notice anything amiss? "
Shangguan Yi fell into a momentary daze when he heard that.
Shortly after, he regained his clarity.
The conversation between Du Qi and Chu Suiliang surfaced in Shangguan Yi's mind. Although Du Qi was recruiting Chu Suiliang, Du Qi was the first to do so. However, after Chu Suiliang rejected him, Du Qi offered Chu Suiliang to preach the Dao. Back then, Chu Suiliang rejected the offer.
This revealed the first point of suspicion.
Shortly after, Du Qi tried to recruit Chu Suiliang again. Chu Suiliang was willing to submit. Shortly after, Du Qi said that he would give Chu Suiliang a mission to the Tang dynasty. However, Chu Suiliang rejected the mission again.
This was Du Qi's second attempt at probing, and Chu Suiliang once again revealed some suspicious points. In the end, Du Qi left without bringing Chu Suiliang along. Instead, he let Chu Suiliang head to Sovereign Capital alone.
After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I was a little too anxious and lost my sense of propriety. But Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Chu Suiliang, how should we deal with him? How should we handle him? "
At this moment, Shangguan Yee was certain that Du Qi had a detailed plan, so he relaxed.
So he was no longer worried..
Du Qi smiled and said in a deep voice, "Chu Suiliang has stayed in Weinan County and has not spread any news. If Chu Suiliang is really one of Li Shimin's chess pieces, then we should have met him by chance this time. "
"After all, we wouldn't have bumped into Chu Suiliang without the rain. If Chu Suiliang was Li Shimin's Ming, it's most likely that he went into seclusion before spreading the news of Chu Suiliang's hiding here. The imperial court would naturally recruit a famous person like him. Therefore, Chu Suiliang was able to enter my sights. "
"It's just that we met him by chance this time. Of course, it's actually very simple to probe Chu Suiliang. Aren't we fishing now? After we fish, we can figure out his situation and take him down. We can even try to instigate his rebellion. Then, we can get him to deal with Chu Suiliang and probe the situation. Naturally, we can figure it out. "
Du Qi said, "Of course, even if we can't fish now, we can wait for Chu Suiliang to arrive in Sovereign Capital before we arrange for someone to probe him. In short, since Chu Suiliang jumped in, he won't leave so easily. Furthermore, if Chu Suiliang stays, he will be a lamb sent to our doorstep. "
Shangguan Yi was completely relieved. He said, "Your Majesty is brilliant!"
With Du Qi's words, he was relieved.
Chu Suiliang was a sly old fox, but Du Qi was also very observant. Even if Chu Suiliang had any ideas, Du Qi would still be able to see through him. Even if Chu Suiliang had any ideas, under Du Qi's scheme, Chu Suiliang would only end up shooting himself in the foot.
Shangguan Yi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, then should we spread the news of Chu Suiliang's submission?"
Du Qi said, "Of course."
Shangguan Yi said, "I'll make the arrangements in a while."
Du Qi nodded.
Shangguan Yi and Du Qi continued chatting. When they stopped to rest midway, he had already arranged for someone to spread the news of Chu Suiliang's submission to Du Qi. He got the bad guys to immediately make the arrangements to spread the news.
After the rest, the group continued on their journey.
The entourage continued to move forward. When the group of people had walked for another ten miles, it was already close to the time of the afternoon.
"Tap! Tap!! "
The sound of horse hooves came from the front.
Not long after, the person riding the horse stopped beside Du Qi's carriage. This person was called Yan Ruohu, the person in charge of the bad guys in Weinan County. Guo Huai was in charge of Du Qi's safety in Lantian County. Even now, some of the bad guys under Guo Huai's command were still in the vicinity to ensure Du Qi's safety.
In Weinan County, Yan Ruohu was in charge of Du Qi's safety.
As for the bad guys, he was in charge of coordinating.
Yan Ruohu rode on horseback and reported, "Your Majesty, there's a mountain forest about five kilometers ahead. There's a group of unidentified people in the mountain forest. This group has a lot of people. According to our judgment, there are at least a few hundred people hidden in the forest. Your humble servant deduces that this group of people might be from the Tang dynasty. "
Du Qi revealed a smile on his face and said, "These baits really can't sit still! We're still in Weinan County, but someone has already set up an ambush along the way and is waiting for us. "
Yan Ruohu said, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Du Qi said, "Naturally, we'll lure the snake out of its hole."
Yan Ruohu heard this and said, "Your Majesty, since we're luring the snake out of its hole, your humble servant will immediately arrange a carriage identical to yours. Along the way, you can take your men and leave, and this carriage will continue your journey. Of course, General Mordor will have to accompany you, because only with General Mordor can we confirm Your Majesty's whereabouts. As for the carriage, it's fine to leave it empty. "
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "There's no need to rearrange the carriage. Just find a hidden place when the carriage is on the way and leave directly. At that time, the carriage will be empty, and Mordor will accompany you. As for encircling and annihilating this group of Great Tang soldiers, you can do as you please. "
"Yes!"
Yan Ruohu immediately agreed.
He turned around and left to arrange the follow-up matters.
After Yan Ruohu left, the carriage continued its journey. The wheels turned and slowly moved forward. When they were halfway on the road, Du Qi and Shangguan Yee had already quietly got off the carriage, and then reboarded the carriage behind them, and slowly followed them on the road. At this time, although Du Qi didn't have Mordor accompanying him to protect him, there were still some bad guys accompanying him to ensure his safety.
