Chapter 289: Boss Wu’s Invitation
Seeing that Xie Xunfeng agreed so readily, Xiao Shentian nodded happily.
He then announced his withdrawal from court.
After Xie Xunfeng left the palace, the fourth prince Xiao Wenqin hurriedly followed.
"Xie Zhizi, do you know what the army on the Yuntai is called?" Xiao Wenqin asked Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said, "I've heard that it's called the cannon fodder army of the evil army..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Wenqin was slightly stunned.
He said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Proton, do you know?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "Yuntai Mountain is within the territory of Daxia, the border against the Nanman... It is also the most bitter and cold place. Moreover, those are the gathering places of ruffians and scum of the army... To put it bluntly, it is the prison of the army... The reason why we spare their lives is to let them live on... so that they can resist the Nanman..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Wenqin's face became more bitter and he said, "Xie Jizi, don't you know everything? Why did you agree... Do you know? Although this cannon fodder army has more than 100,000 people... but there are more than 30,000 people guarding them... As long as we take them away from Yuntai... I guarantee that they will all run away as soon as we get off the mountain..."
"Let alone going to the border of Great Zhou... I'm afraid we can't even leave Yuntai Mountain... If the soldiers escape, the generals will not be able to escape responsibility... I'm afraid we won't even have to go to Great Zhou before we'll be captured..."
Xie Xunfeng smiled faintly, and then said to Xiao Wenqin, "Fourth Prince, don't be so pessimistic... If you don't agree, you can go and talk to His Majesty... I'll go alone..."
Xiao Wenqin looked at Xie Xunfeng and said, "Xie Zhizi, do you have a plan?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "I have a plan... What? Don't you trust me?"
Xiao Wenqin had a bitter face, shook his head at Xie Xunfeng and said, "It's not that I don't trust you...but...this is really an unsolvable situation..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "Believe me... This time, I will definitely let you return with a full load..."
After reading what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Wenqin gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Jizi, of course I believe you... Then I won't ask any more questions... I'll give you my life..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Wenqin's fearless expression and said with a smile, "You don't have to be like this... It's not that easy..."
At this time, Meng Fengfei, her son, and Zhang Renyi were all beside the emperor in the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
"Your Majesty, you said that Xie Hanzi is actually not stupid... If he was not stupid, why would he agree to your condition... Is there something fishy about it..." Meng Fengfei asked the emperor.
Emperor Xiao Shentian said to Meng Fengfei, "He is not stupid... In fact, it is very simple. If he refuses me on the spot, he will be disobeying my order... Disobeying my order means death on the spot... If he agrees, he still has a chance of winning... He has many tricks, maybe he really has a way..."
Meng Fengfei said to the emperor, "What if he really uses the evil army to fight against the Great Zhou and wins...won't our plan fail?"
The emperor said to Meng Fengfei, "Feng Fei, have you been blinded by hatred? If they win, it will be a good thing for our Great Xia. Wouldn't it be good to use such a talent?"
After hearing what the emperor said, Meng Fengfei realized that he had spoken out of turn...
" Your Majesty is right... I don't understand it for a moment..."
"I know you are heartbroken about Mond's death... However, things have to be prioritized... Besides, if that evil army was so easy to lead, it wouldn't be a concern for me... I can't get rid of it, and I can't cure it..." The emperor said to Meng Fengfei.
When Meng Fengfei heard what the emperor said, he stopped talking.
After Xie Xunfeng went back.
Jing Fei said to Xie Xunfeng, "Sir, there is a man who claims to be Mr. Wu looking for you..."
After hearing what Jing Fei said, Xie Xunfeng asked in surprise, "Oh?"
Xie Xunfeng didn't expect that Boss Wu would arrive so quickly.
After walking into the house, Boss Wu was sitting inside.
"Boss Wu, you came really quickly..." Xie Xunfeng said to Boss Wu.
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Boss Wu smiled faintly and said, "To make money... you have to be more proactive... Today I came here to invite you to have a gathering at Hua Man Lou."
After hearing what Boss Wu said, Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "Okay... But, since Boss Wu came here in person, it shouldn't be as simple as just passing on a message..."
Boss Wu said to Xie Xunfeng, "As expected of the little Twenty whom I have chosen... She is indeed smart... I came here this time to give you a shot of prevention... You must be prepared..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Boss Wu with a hint of doubt and said, "Are you prepared?"
Boss Wu nodded to Xie Xunfeng and said, "That's right... your affairs in Da Zhou and Da Xia... In fact, the members of our Golden Group don't have much confidence in you..."
"You should know clearly that we want to invest in you...mainly in you as a person."
"You did a good job at the beginning... But later on... You didn't do so well... You know what I mean..."
Xie Xunfeng nodded to Boss Wu, naturally understanding what Boss Wu said.
They had high hopes for him before because he was doing well in the Great Zhou.
Moreover, the emperor of Daxia at that time also fully supported him...
But , as the saying goes, things change over time…
At this time, the Emperor of Daxia was clearly standing opposite Xie Xunfeng.
"You mean, I should go and convince the members of the Golden Group..."
Boss Wu nodded and said, "I have tried my best to speak for you...but these people are all businessmen..."
Before Boss Wu finished speaking, Xie Xunfeng nodded calmly, then smiled and said, "I understand..."
"Okay... I'll go there in the evening..."
"Do you have any ideas? You can tell me about it in advance... I'll see if you can convince them... After all, I've been dealing with them for so long... I know their temperament very well..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Boss Wu, "Boss, don't worry... I will naturally find a way to convince them..."
Boss Wu was also a smart man. Seeing that Xie Xunfeng was unwilling to talk, he did not ask any further questions.
Stand up and say goodbye.
After all, if you have something to say, let’s talk about it together in the evening.
After Boss Wu left, he asked Jing Fei to send a servant to deliver a letter to Cai Shoucai...
Let Cai Shoucai go to Hua Man Lou tonight and wait...
