"NO!" I object to your plan! "

Inside the bathroom, Xiao Wen spoke with a firm tone.

He looked at Cai Zheng, his eyes void of any room for manoeuvre.

"Why?" Cai must have been curious. He asked: "The biggest risk here is that people who have been kidnapped might have an accident. But, what does their life or death have to do with you? "

Cai definitely didn't believe that Xiao Wen would give up the opportunity to kill him for the sake of the lives of these rich and powerful families.

After all, Xiao Wen's primary goal in protecting the clouds was to protect Zhou Xian, Zhou Wei's family, Guan Yu, Ge Liang, and Shangguan Wan'er.

And the most important thing was to protect the safety of the citizens of the city.

As long as they could fight to their deaths, with the military strength they had now in the clouds, it would be more than enough to block the attack of the eight flags. On one hand, it was the lives of his family and civilians, and on the other hand, it was the safety of the city's wealth.

"There is no choice in this world. Even in the most difficult times, people are free to make decisions. What you do, however, depends entirely on your intellect. "Apparently, I saw the third method besides' Give up on the citizens and my family, protect the rich and powerful families in the city 'and' Give up on the rich and powerful families in the city to protect the citizens and my family '."

Indeed, if the lives of the rich and powerful people in the city were put in a dangerous place, and the powerful and powerful people of the imperial court had no choice but to stand against He Heshen, they would indeed be able to kill him.

Take Hua Xiong as an example!

The backer of Huaxu was the current Dong Zhuo, the guardian of Hedong City. As the Grand Guard of the County City in the Western Territory of the big man, no matter what, he would not be able to participate in the matter of promoting Heshan to become the Grand Guardian of the Clouds.

Being able to help out Hua Xiong Cai was already the limit of what he could do.

If he let Heshen persecute Huaxu, Dong Zhuo might not be able to help him because of all the scruples.

However, if Heshen offended many people, and there was even a political crisis of being beheaded, Dong Zhuo would definitely not miss the chance to participate in the slaughter.

In the same way, although the rich families in the city were no better than Heshan. However, to be able to establish a foothold in the middle of the Cloud City, they were more or less related to the people of the imperial court.

If Xiao Wen and Cai were stupid enough to hand over evidence that He Heshen was a traitor to the Imperial Court, those with interests in the clouds would indeed be grateful to Xiao Wen.

But after thanking them, what would happen to them?

Would he save Xiao Wen from the counterattack from Heshan's backers?

No!

The nobility were politicians, and politicians were the most shameless professional group in the world.

They would tear down the bridge afterwards, they would forget about kindness, they would forget about benefits, and they would say things that didn't mean what they said. There was only one thing they would not do, and that was to return the favor with a drop of water.

If Xiao Wen handed over the evidence, Yun Zhong would be able to hold on. However, the nobles who had protected their own interests would thank Xiao Wen and hand him over to those nobles who had suffered losses as a result of the fall of the mountain.

Using Xiao Wen's blood to extinguish the nobles' anger was a good choice, no matter how one looked at it.

As for Xiao Wen's intelligence, his future, and his abilities, were these things more important than his political interests?

Don't forget, since ancient times, Chinese people have always been political creatures. Power, Billy was always important.

"If I push them to dangerous places now, let Heshai-chun contradict them, and save them as savior, and lead them to defeat Heshan. In the end, it was me and He Shen who died together. " Xiao Wen said.

"This is already the best result. Think of your family. Think of the people in the clouds. Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Cai Zhen hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Is that so?" Leaning on the edge of the pool, Xiao Wen smiled and said, "It's a pity that I'm a person that values my life a lot. No matter what, I won't give up my life. You want me to choose between your own life and the lives of the people around you? "

"Sorry, only children can do multiple choice questions. This was because they did not know that all the questions in this world were subjective. "So, my answer is …"

"I will protect anyone's life."

"What do you want to do?" At Xiao Wen's words, Cai Zhen's eyes lit up like the eyes of an eagle.

As a top spy of the Great Song Empire, he was of the highest rank, whether it was in terms of scheming or emotional intelligence.

In fact, he was fully confident that he could push his son to the position of prime minister once he returned to the country (in fact, Cai Jing was the prime minister in history).

Even for him, he could only choose this kind of helpless method.

But Xiao Wen had a better method?

Xiao Wen's way of improving the situation instantly piqued Cai Zongming's curiosity.

(So it is)... ( This way)

When Xiao Wen told him everything about his plan, Cai Zhen looked at him deeply and said, "Your plan is a bit difficult!"

"Is it difficult?" Xiao Wen sneered, "As long as you are willing to try your best, this is not a problem. And if it fails... I think that before I die, I should still be able to tear off a piece of flesh from your Emperor Song. "

"How dare you!" Cai Zhe's pupils shrank when he heard Xiao Wen's threats.

Although he had always been loyal to the Song Emperor, he still held a certain amount of reverence towards the other emperors of this world.

However, he didn't expect Xiao Wen to dare to say such words.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Xiao Wen's eyes emitted a formidable light. He whispered in Cai Zhe's ear in a low voice, as if he was talking to a devil, "My teacher once told me that those with royal authority care at least five steps away. Beyond that, the imperial power is nothing more than child's play. "

The Song and Ming Dynasties were the most promising epochs in Chinese history to enter the capitalist era.

And Xiao Wen happened to have a guide on how to bring these two countries into the age of capitalism and how to let merchants overthrow the rule of the aristocrats, the literati and the emperor.

Even if there was a problem with the clouds, he could still let Zhuge Liang bring the strategy he had recorded down to the Song Kingdom.

He believed that with Zhuge Liang's ability, there would be no problem in taking revenge for himself.

It was because he had the ability to destroy Song Guo that Xiao Wen spoke with confidence and confidence.

Even Cai Zhen had to believe Xiao Wen's words.

Cai Zhen's face turned ashen upon hearing this.

However, considering the situation in front of him, he could only clench his teeth and say, "Fine, since mister feels that this old man can do it, then this old man will do my best …"

"Not to the best of my abilities, but to do it. After all, the Song Emperor did not want to let a dead person drag them into the abyss! "

After Xiao Wen and Cai Zongming finished showering, they put on a new set of clothes and walked back into the banquet hall.

Compared to the time when Xiao Wen left, there were fewer people in the banquet hall.

Xiao Wen counted to see that there were only fifteen tables of customers left, still sitting upright on the banquet.

Of course, this did not include the two schemers, Heshan in the middle and Nalan Huid.

As for Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang was sitting at the same table as Xiao Wen. Because of the relationship of minors, they were not "intoxicated" by Heshen.

Walking up to Zhuge Liang, Xiao Wen said to him: "Xiao Liang, are you full yet?"

"Eat …" I'm full. " Hearing Xiao Wen's sudden question, Zhuge Liang didn't know what to do and could only reply honestly.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's honest answer, Xiao Wen smiled.

"I have something that requires you to run errands for me." He whispered something in Zhuge Liang's ear.

The first step of his plan was told to Zhuge Liang, who was somewhat perplexed.

He didn't know what the whole plan was about, so he looked at Xiao Wen and asked, "Mister, you can leave these small matters to the servants. Why would you want me to run errands for you?"

"Looks like you need to be more strict in military training!" Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Xiao Wen revealed a kind smile.

Strictly speaking...

Hearing Xiao Wen's threat, Zhuge Liang trembled and immediately stood up.

"It is the duty of the military to obey orders. I'll go right now! " With that, the little guy slipped away from the banquet site.
