Chapter 137 The Zhao Dynasty was betrayed!
Chen Zhibao stared at Zhao Huangchao and asked doubtfully: "Is there a chance now?"
Zhao Huangchao said: "If something unexpected happens to Xu Xiao, with your prestige in the Bei Ming Army, you are naturally the best choice to succeed the Bei Ming King."
A strange look flashed in Chen Zhibao's eyes, and he said: "You want to assassinate your adoptive father, are you from the Liyang royal family?"
Zhao Huangchao nodded slightly and admitted.
Chen Zhibao's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
If someone had dared to say in front of him that assassinating Xu Xiao and seeking to usurp the throne was a huge reversal, especially if this person was from the Liyang royal family, he would have ordered people to take him down and cut his body into pieces.
However, this time, Chen Zhibao accidentally failed to do so.
For the first time in his heart, he felt that Zhao Huangchao's proposal made him very excited.
Although Chen Zhibao was moved, he was not in a hurry to express his attitude. He said calmly: "There is no free lunch in the world."
Zhao Huangchao said: "This is natural."
Chen Zhibao asked: "What do you need me to do?"
Zhao Huangchao said: "Two days later, during Xu Fengnian's wedding, assassins in the Beimu Palace will attack and kill Xu Xiao. When the time comes, you can lead troops to serve the king."
Chen Zhibao added: "The name is King Qin, but it is actually a mutiny."
Zhao Huangchao said: "That's right."
Then he added: "Even if this fails, the court will support you in proclaiming yourself king. What do you think of the position of King of Shu?"
At this point, Chen Zhibao was completely moved. He nodded solemnly and said: "In two days, I will personally lead five thousand personal guards and cavalry to Liangzhou City."
Zhao Huangchao said: "Good"!
Half an hour later, outside the North Star Army camp, Zhao Huangchao's physical body was hiding.
Zhao Huangchao returned to his body, his whole body trembling, and he looked at Chen Zhibao's tent with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Chen Zhibao has entered the game, a big deal has been accomplished." Zhao Huangchao laughed twice, then jumped up and quickly returned in the direction of Liangzhou City.

The next day, when the sun was rising and the sky was just getting bright, Gu Jiantang walked into the Beimu Prince's Mansion openly. On the surface, he wanted to invite Princess Suizhu out of the mansion and make a show for Zhao Dynasty, but in fact, he wanted to tell all the news. Xu Xiao, let him take precautions early.
At the same time, Cao Changqing happened to receive the news from Zhao Si and learned that Zhao Dynasty had sneaked into Liangzhou City and was secretly planning to assassinate Xu Xiao.
He had just formed an alliance with Xu Xiao. At this moment, Xu Xiao was Cao Changqing's greatest help in restoring Dachu. Coupled with the relationship between Jiang Ni and Xu Fengnian, it is estimated that he might be with Xu Fengnian before long. Xiao became an in-law.
Although he was reluctant to recognize this marriage, seeing Jiang Ni's passionate love for Xu Fengnian, Cao Changqing could only hold his nose and admit it.
Therefore, as soon as he learned the news, Cao Changqing approached Xu Xiao to discuss countermeasures.
Gu Jiantang and Cao Changqing coincidentally appeared in Xu Xiao's room at the same time.
The moment he saw Cao Changqing, some bad memories emerged in Gu Jiantang's mind.
"It's you." Gu Jiantang narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Changqing with an unkind expression.
Cao Changqing glanced at Gu Jiantang and said calmly: "It's me."
At this moment, there was unspeakable resentment in Gu Jiantang's expression.
Cao Changqing had an agreement with him at the beginning, and the two agreed to rebel. Cao Changqing restored the Chu Kingdom, and Gu Jiantang helped him. After the incident was completed, he also asked for the position of king with a different surname.
He said it well at first, but Cao Changqing disappeared without a trace, and there has been no news from Gu Jiantang in these years.
Gu Jiantang feels that all his hard work over the years has been fed to the dog. Even if he really gets a dog, it can bark twice to help him relieve his boredom. It is better than having his heart hanging on Cao Changqing and not hearing anything at all. .
Cao Changqing glanced at Gu Jiantang meaningfully. He had known that Gu Jiantang was not a loyal minister of Liyang.
"It seems that Gu Jiantang is hooking up with Xu Xiao again, but given his character, it's normal," Cao Changqing thought, and looked at Gu Jiantang a few more times.
From the main seat in the room, Xu Xiao looked at the tense atmosphere between Gu Jiantang and Cao Changqing.
Immediately he stood up and started to make peace, helping the two of them to their seats one by one and sitting down.
Cao Changqing knew that he was somewhat in the wrong, and since business was important at the moment, he was not in the mood to argue with Gu Jiantang about what was there and what was not.
Cao Changqing looked at Xu Xiao and said, "The Zhao Dynasty has come to Liangzhou City."
When Gu Jiantang saw that Cao Changqing also mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but frown.
"Zhao Huangchao acted extremely cautiously when he entered Beiming. He should not have been noticed by Cao Changqing. Could it be possible that there was a traitor?" Gu Jiantang thought in his mind, recalling all the people he met in Zhao Gou's stronghold last night, but he still couldn't think of anyone who might be the traitor.
However, now is not the time to delve into this matter. After thinking for a moment, Gu Jiantang said: "The Zhao Dynasty plans to sneak into the palace to assassinate you on the wedding day of Feng Nian and Zhihu."
Listening to the words of the two people, Xu Xiao did not show any surprise on his face, with an expression that he already knew.
In fact, last night, after Su Qingxuan came back, he had informed Xu Xiao about Zhao Dynasty's sneak into Liangzhou City.
Although it is not clear how Zhao Huangchao plans to act, Su Qingxuan and Xu Xiao put it together that Zhao Huangchao, an old bastard, sneaked into Liangzhou City secretly and decided not to hold his shit back. They were basically sure that the purpose of Zhao Huangchao's trip was Came for assassination.
Now, the news about Gu Jiantang and Cao Changqing only confirms this.
"You know this." Cao Changqing concluded from Xu Xiao's expression that he already knew the news.
Xu Xiao nodded and said, "Qingxuan told me the news last night."
"Su Qingxuan", Su Qingxuan's face flashed through Cao Changqing's mind, and he couldn't help but become more curious about Su Qingxuan.
Last night, Su Qingxuan easily received his angry blow, and Cao Changqing realized that this unknown Su Qingxuan turned out to be a master who was not weaker than him.
At this moment, Xu Xiao learned that Su Qingxuan actually heard the news about Zhao Huangchao's entry into Beiming without saying a word.
He knew about this because Zhao Si was working as an internal agent for him among Zhao Gou. Gu Jiantang knew about this because he was an important minister of Liyang.
And Su Qingxuan actually knew about this matter, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
He is good at playing chess, so he naturally likes to make perfect plans and grasp the overall situation. The occurrence of such things beyond his control made him pay more attention to Su Qingxuan to a new level, breaking away from the category of ordinary martial arts warriors.
Gu Jiantang didn't know who Su Qingxuan was, so he paused and continued to betray Zhao Huangchao's plan, shaking the hands of Sui Zhu, Yang Taisui, Chen Zhibao and Zhao Huangchao's men.
Listening to the familiar names, Xu Xiao's face had an uncertain expression.
Gu Jiantang had already revealed all of Zhao Huangchao's plans, and the three of them immediately began to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, he decided to use the trick to catch Zhao Huangchao by surprise when he came to assassinate him.
After everything was agreed upon, Gu Jiantang took his leave, naturally taking Princess Sui Zhu with him when he left.
