One hundred and eighty-ninth chapters walking on thin ice (nineteen)
Zhao Zhang didn't answer for a long time, but just stared at Tian Buli, and still felt a little suspicious.
Tian Buli smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "Since you use me, you should not doubt it. If you doubt it, why do you have to use me?"
"If you don't have any talent, you can only be rich and noble. Now the situation is great and you are seeking for me, why should I destroy my future and do this indiscriminately? It will not be of any benefit to me."
"Okay." Zhao Zhang nodded, and hesitated and said, "I believe in you, don't let my trust down."
"Since it was not yourselves, who would be there? I know Zhao He, who is low-key and rarely argues with others, let alone the assassination that takes human life or at such a subtle opportunity. This is a coincidence."
Tian Buli nodded and said, "What the Lord said is extremely true. If it were not for personal grudges, then someone would probably want to frame us, so as to arouse the Lord's dissatisfaction with the Lord."
Zhao Zhang suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "Why did Zhao He and the others deliberately take charge of it? In fact, there were no assassins. He just put pressure on the Lord's father under this guise."
Tian Buli nodded repeatedly and said, "It is indeed possible."
But in his heart he scoffed at Zhao Zhang's statement, and such a big thing could be done. At that time, the patrol office intervened in full view of everyone. How could Zhao He play such a bad trick if he was not a fool?
However, if Zhao Zhang can think so, it would be best, and most of his suspicion was washed away. After calming down, he said to Zhao Zhang, "This matter is important. No matter what minister, we must understand the future and the ends clearly. We cannot suffer a loss for nothing."
"Please give me some time, I will definitely make the truth about this."
"Okay." Zhao Zhang nodded and agreed, then looked at Tian Buli apologetically and said, "I was out of control just now, sir, please don't mind."
Tian Buli just smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. To be fair, I am indeed the most suspicious of this matter, and it has nothing to do with you. But please trust Tian Buli more in the future. You and I will be one. You should share honor and disgrace. You should not create suspicion for no reason, so as not to create estrangement."
Zhao Zhang nodded quickly and said, "It must be certain. I don't doubt people without hiring people. I still understand this principle. I will definitely not doubt sir again in the future."
When Tian Buli returned to the mansion, he looked angry and had no time to change his clothes. He just walked straight to the backyard. Seeing that his face was very ugly, the servants and maids did not dare to salute him, but just avoided him from afar.
Seeing Tian Buli rushing into his room with anger, Xu Yao was not too surprised. She had already expected it, but the maid who was serving her hair was so scared that her hands and feet were sore when she saw the master's appearance, she hurriedly knelt down and did not dare to say anything.
Xu Yao waved her hand and signaled to the maid, "You go down first."
The maid was ashamed of a general amnesty, so she hurriedly said goodbye in a low voice and ran away in a panic.
Xu Yao put down the hairpin in her hand, tidied up her hair bun in the bronze mirror, and came to her senses and smiled slightly in front of Tian Buli, "Today is the day when Tian Xiang is promoted. It is logical that she should be celebrated, why did she look so good? Look, it scared the little girl away."
Looking back, he smiled like a lotus blooming, bright and incomparable, and no one could help but be moved. But there was no temptation in Tian Buli's eyes. He narrowed his slender eyes and snorted coldly. "But I didn't see Miss Xu afraid, so I was very calm and composed."
Xu Yao smiled slightly and said, "Why am I afraid of you? You and I are allies, and the interests are all used to make use of each other. If you want to accomplish great things, you cannot do without our support. If we want to control the situation in Zhao, we cannot do without your charge. Could you still dare to be disrespectful to me?"
Tian Buli was angry. How could he not be angry when he was treated so contemptuously by this girl who was more than half of himself? A trace of viciousness appeared in his slender eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Xu Yao, do you really think that Tian Buli dare not do anything to you?"
Xu Yao was not afraid, but just replied indifferently, "It's not that you dare not, it's that you don't want to. Tian Xiang is a smart person. There is one advantage of smart people, that is, you can weigh the gains and losses, so I have always like to deal with smart people. You want a lot, so you have to rely on our support."
Tian Buli really got to her mind and expressed her fear. Then she suppressed her anger and said coldly, "I'll ask you if you were the ones who did the assassination of Zhao He."
Xu Yao nodded generously and admitted: "That's right."
This time it was Tian Buli's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect Xu Yao to admit it so generously, so he stared at her and asked, "I think you owe me an explanation."
Xu Yao just smiled faintly and said, "This is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with what you and I do, so I don't need to explain it to you."
"You..." Tian Buli said furiously: "Do you know that you will kill me if you do this? Today, the Lord of the Court is already furious, and the Lord Anyang also has suspicion about me. If I fail because of this, can you explain it to Mr. Mengchang?"
Xu Yao was still unmoved and replied indifferently: "Captain Tian, please rest assured that the person I have entrusted has nothing to do with you and me, and is a very reliable and trustworthy person. No matter who checks it, you will definitely not find out that it has anything to do with you."
"Without any evidence, what can the Lord Father and King Zhao do to you?"
"But your randomness will disrupt my overall layout."
"Not necessarily." Xu Yao smiled sweetly.
"The situation in Zhao State is like a firewood, I am just adding more firewood. If it is really messed up, it will completely break the master's control over Zhao State. With the help of Qi State's powerful help, you can take advantage of the troubled waters and win in chaos, which may be a good thing."
Tian Buli snorted coldly, "No matter what, if you act privately on your back in the future, don't blame me for turning against others. You must know that I hate the most of people who are fearless. If you want to cooperate, you must show some sincerity."
Seeing that Tian Buli finally let go and stopped pursuing it, Xu Yao secretly lost and nodded happily and said, "Okay, this time it is my fault. I apologize to Tian Xiang here. I promise I will not make any decisions in the future, can I?"
Tian Buli just snorted dissatisfiedly and did not reply. He paused and said, "I will report this matter to Mengchangjun truthfully, so that he can know your courage and arbitrary behavior."
Xu Yao frowned slightly and said, "You are busy with all kinds of things every day, so don't disturb him like this."
Tian Buli smiled when he heard this, as if he had grabbed Xu Yao's handle, and said again, "Why, Miss Xu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, also has something to be afraid of. So I have to report it truthfully."
Xu Yao shrugged and said, "As far as you want, do you think you believe me more or you more? I told you not to report that it is nothing more than not wanting to have a gap between you and me because of such small things. After all, we have a long future and we have great opportunities to cooperate, so why bother with such small things?"
"At worst, I'll help you with something else and give you a great help."
Tian Buli was stunned and asked curiously, "What help."
"How is the Mohist school?"
Tian Buli said in a lost voice, "You are also related to the Mo family?"
You should know that although the Mohist family's way of being a righteous and heroic country was hit hard by various countries, it was popular with the prevailing trend of fighting fiercely and bravely. Therefore, although Zhao was a small country when the three families divided the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Mo was able to resist Qi, Mo and Chu Mo of the great country, and merged into the Three Mos.
Moreover, the most important Mohist school is good at raising powerful fencing people, and has a very good reputation among the people. This is really a great temptation for Tian Buli. No wonder Tian Buli was so shocked.
Xu Yao nodded and said, "My ancestors have old age with Zhao Mo. When I was young, I learned some martial arts with this generation of juzi, and I can be considered half an apprentice. But I can only recommend juzi to you. Whether it can be used by you depends on whether you can offer the conditions that Mohist school is interested in."
Tian Buli heard the meaning of the words and blurted out, "The people of the Mo family have always been pure and have few desires and do not pursue fame and fortune. What can I use to impress them?"
"Ideal!" Xu Yao smiled.
"After all, the Mohist school is a group of thorough idealists. They have persistent pursuits in their hearts and are eager to change the world through their own actions. Therefore, they long for a king to accept their ideas, let them play a big fist, and realize their political proposition of love and mutual benefit."
"I understand." Tian Buli nodded, and had already understood the meaning of Xu Yao's words.
It is nothing more than making the Mo family believe in themselves through some promises. These are the things that Director Tian Buli does not need to be said for Xu Yao.
Suddenly, Tian Buli looked at Xu Yao with an ambiguous face and said, "Miss Xu, I think you are not aware of these things."
A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yao's mouth and said, "Since Tian Xiang knows it, why bother to point it out."
"You and I are actually just chess pieces from the emperor. The same is that you and I are both smart chess pieces, the difference is that you and I each have their own plans."
"No one wants to be a chess piece for the rest of his life. You are, and of course I am too."
Tian Buli smiled knowingly, "I understand. But Miss Xu, you can call the wind and rain in Zhao, but it seems that it is not entirely due to the power of the emperor. It seems that your origin is not simple."
"Who are you? Why did you make enemies with Zhao He's family?"
The smile on Xu Yao's face slowly disappeared, but Tian Buli's words aroused the painful memories in his heart, and he said slowly; "These are just old things for adulthood, and Tian Xiang will not be interested in knowing it, and it has nothing to do with what you want."
Seeing that Xu Yao refused to say it, Tian Buli stopped asking questions and just nodded, "That's good, at least we will not have a conflict of interest."
"By the way, I have another thing to ask Tian Xiang."
"What's the matter?"
"I need a reasonable identity to appear in Zhao State, rather than staying behind the scenes."
"It's up to me to leave this matter."
