What happened afterwards is well known. At the banquet between the two countries, Zhuang Mohan, at the cost of his lifelong reputation, slandered the talented scholar Fan Xian from the Kingdom of Qing, saying that his poems were plagiarized from his mentor.
As a result, Fan Xian and I drank and wrote hundreds of poems together on the spot, which broke up his and the princess's conspiracy.
Zhuang Mohan lost his integrity in his later years because of this.
Although I helped him cover up and put all the blame on Li Yunrui, he still has a serious stain on his reputation because of this!"
When Sean heard these words, he fell silent!
After hearing this, Shangshan Hu frowned and said in extreme confusion: "This is not right! What does Zhuang Mohan have to do with this? Why did he save his adoptive father?"
"Because..." Xiao En sighed, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he said, "Because Zhuang Mohan is my brother, my biological brother!"
"What?" Uesugi Tora's eyes widened in shock.
Xiao En looked at the fire and explained softly, "Zhuang Mohan is my biological brother, but our situations are very different.
He became famous at a young age and became a literary giant at a young age.
As for me, I was not well-known. Although I became the leader of the Tiqi, many people still thought that I was relying on him. I was not convinced, so I changed my surname to the same one as my mother!
Since then, Zhuang Mohan and I have had almost no contact, so no one knows that he is my biological brother! "
Hearing this, Shang Shanhu said angrily: "But the young emperor told me that as long as I am willing to be transferred back to Shangjing to be the general, he will find a way to rescue my adoptive father!"
"That's why I said you're stupid!" Li Chengyuan sneered, "You have nothing to do with this!
It's just that your little emperor killed two birds with one stone.
Having completed the deal with Li Yunrui, he used her to capture our Qing Kingdom spy Yan Bingyun!
They even used this incident to trick you back to the capital and easily stripped you of your military power!"
"What? Bastard! Damn it!"
Uesugi Tora was so angry that his defense was broken!
Sean glanced at his stupid adopted son and sighed helplessly.
"What's the point of being furious?" Li Chengyuan sneered, "Do you think your little emperor's schemes against you are over?"
"What do you mean?" Uesugi Tora was confused for a moment, then immediately walked back.
He no longer dared to ignore anything Li Chengyuan said.
Li Chengyuan looked at Shangshan Hu and asked slowly: "Let me ask you, although your current position of general is a sinecure, your influence in the army is still very strong, right?"
"Of course!" Uesugi Tora said proudly, "I became a general because of my countless military exploits.
The Qi army is full of my trusted aides.
Even if I am idle, I still have a great say in the Qi State military!"
"So!" Li Chengyuan said, "You have such a great influence on the Qi military, yet you are so unruly and disloyal to both the young emperor and the queen mother. Think about it, can the Qi court tolerate you?"
"Even if they can't tolerate me, what else can they do to me?" Shangshan Hu said disdainfully: "No matter what, I am the general of Qi State. Do they dare to kill meritorious officials?"
Li Chengyuan said: "They can't kill you at will, but they can kill your adoptive father!"
"!!!" Uesugi Tora was dumbfounded again. "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Li Chengyuan was speechless.
Even after he said so much, Uesugi Tora still didn't understand. This guy's IQ is really... I don't know how he leads the troops to fight.
After secretly complaining, Li Chengyuan continued to explain:
"As I said earlier, the reason Northern Qi rescued your adoptive father was entirely to make a deal with Qing.
Because of Zhuang Mohan, they agreed to exchange your adoptive father Sean.
But Senior Xiao himself is no longer of any use to the State of Qi!
He had been detained and interrogated by the Qing State for twenty years, and was now half disabled. It could be said that he was of no use at all.
In addition, the Jinyiwei of Qing State now has a new leader. The current Jinyiwei commander Shen Zhong is even more ruthless and stronger than Senior Xiao.
Senior Xiao, think about it, if you were Shen Zhong now, and you heard that your ex was back, what would you do?
Sean's eyes narrowed instantly, a cold light flashing in them, and he replied in a deep voice: "If I were him, I would get rid of him myself!"
"He dares!" Uesugi Tora became anxious again. He stood up suddenly and became furious again.
"Why wouldn't he dare?" Li Chengyuan sneered, "If I were Shen Zhong, the first thing I would do after bringing Senior Xiao back would be to destroy him.
Then, in front of you, Uesugi Tora, I will humiliate him severely.
This will irritate you!
As long as you are angry, you are likely to do some irrational things!
Then, they will have a crime to punish you!
In this way, both Sean and you, Uesugi Tiger, are solved.
It's a perfect plan that kills two birds with one stone!"
“…” Uesugi Tora was silenced again.
He really didn't want to believe Li Chengyuan.
But he couldn't find an excuse to refute Li Chengyuan, so he could only look at Sean.
After Xiao En sighed with an unpleasant expression, he said, “Your Highness is right.
As long as Shen Zhong has the same scheming as Your Highness, then everything Your Highness says will become a reality!"
As the former chief of Qi State's spies, Sean had a very thorough understanding of what Li Chengyuan said.
He didn't know much information before, so he was still confused about his situation.
Now, after listening to Li Chengyuan's analysis, Sean finally realized that he has reached a critical juncture of life and death!
Seeing what Sean said, Uesugi Tora had no choice but to sit back down obediently no matter how unwilling he was to accept it!
······Requesting flowers····
But Uesugi Tora, unable to bear the grievance, said in a low voice, "Then we can't just wait to die, right?"
"Who said we were waiting to die?" Sean suddenly turned around and solemnly bowed to Li Chengyuan for the third time. "I think Your Highness is wasting time talking to us so much. Is there something he needs our help with?"
"That's right!" Li Chengyuan said, "I said it from the beginning, I want to make a deal with you!
The deal is simple: you do my work, and I'll give you a way out!"
Sean immediately said, "Your Highness, please tell me clearly what you need us to do?"
Li Chengyuan stared at Xiao En and said, "First of all, I need to know the secret that Senior Xiao has been hiding in his heart!"
Sean was prepared for this, so after a brief hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Sean kept the secret in order to make a comeback or escape, and now that the opportunity has come, he naturally will not hesitate any longer.
Li Chengyuan nodded and continued, "Also, Yan Xiaoyi in the car, I need him to submit to me and help me do things.
But you also know about his story.
It's not easy to change his mind.
So I want Senior Xiao to help me.
"Senior Xiao was able to become the head of Qi's secret service, so he must have some skills, right?"
Upon hearing this, Sean frowned and said, "This is not easy to do. I can only try!"
"Sure, as long as Senior Xiao does his best!" Li Chengyuan nodded.
"I need to know everything about him!" Sean said again
"That's no problem. I'll tell Senior Xiao everything about him in a moment!"
....................
Sean nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best!"
"Then I will keep my promise!" Li Chengyuan said, "I can guarantee that after arriving in Northern Qi, I will not hand you over immediately. I will keep you by my side and protect your life!
Once Shang Shanhu has fulfilled my conditions, I can promise to send you all back to the border of Qi State!"
"Me?" Uesugi Tora asked confusedly, "Do I have to help you too?"
"Isn't that nonsense?" Li Chengyuan said speechlessly: "Don't forget, you are still my prisoner!
As a general of Qi State, you trespassed into the territory of Qing State and attacked and killed the prince of Qing State. I will kill you on the spot now, and no one will dare to say anything. Do you understand?
I asked you to do something to give you a chance to survive. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Uesugi Tora smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything more. He asked, "So what do you want me to do for you?"
Li Chengyuan replied, "I need you to help me kill someone after returning to Shangjing!"
"Who do you want to kill?"
Li Chengyuan stared at Shangshan Hu and said word by word, "His name is Meng Zhi, and he is a lieutenant general in your Shangjing City Imperial Guard!"
"Meng Zhi?" Uesugi Hu frowned, clearly unfamiliar with the name. "Who is he? Why did you kill him?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" Li Chengyuan looked around and said, "We're almost at the border.
Now is your last chance to escape.
Otherwise, once you reach the border, the border troops of both countries will check the car and your identity will definitely be exposed!
By then you won’t be able to run away even if you want to!
So, now you only have two choices.
Otherwise, if you choose to resist stubbornly, I will hand you over to the border troops of Qing State. I don’t care how they deal with you!
Or, you choose to believe me and I will let you go now.
After you return to Shangjing, wait for the opportunity.
Then when I get to Shangjing, you cooperate with me and accomplish what I want to do.
Afterwards, I will let you and your adoptive father leave together!
I've given you the opportunity, it's up to you to decide how to choose!"
