"Not necessarily," Xiao Ji shook his head, putting on an unfathomable look, "If he convinces that we're dead, then he might give up tracking the two of us." ”

"What you said is light," Cheng Shuiyao shook his head, "how can you make him believe that we are dead?" ”

"I ordered someone to find two bones similar to our body, and then put my jade pendant next to the bones, so that anyone will think that those two people are us," Xiao Ji's eyes flashed a gleam, obviously very confident in his strategy, "When the time comes, the prime minister's people will definitely report this matter to him, the prime minister is thousands of miles away, and he will not come to investigate in person at all, so the probability of trusting this matter is at least fifty percent." ”

"That's not right!" Cheng Shuiyao was anxious to refute, always feeling that this strategy was a bit negligent, but he couldn't say what the problem was.

"The prime minister is an old fox, he must not trust only one person," Xiao Ji directly pointed out the crux of the problem, "so he will definitely find someone to bring the bones back for examination, but it is a coincidence that I know the work of the entire capital, and I have been ventilated early." ”

"You're amazing!" Cheng Shuiyao sighed sincerely, she never expected Xiao Ji to be able to calculate this.

"So the rest of the matter depends on how much our people can contribute," Xiao Ji nodded slightly, and was very useful for Cheng Shuiyao's praise.

At the same time, a man very "accidentally" found two bodies with disfigured faces, and through the comparison of details, the identities of these two people were roughly "confirmed".

Soon after, the prime minister received a confidential letter.

"Master Qiqi, the bodies of the two have been found, and now it can be confirmed that the two fell off the cliff and died, please tell the next arrangement."

The prime minister glanced at it cursoryly and threw the paper directly into the brazier.

"Does the prime minister think this is credible news on paper?" The wind also read the contents of the paper completely, and when he saw the prime minister acting like this, he couldn't guess his thoughts.

"It's not very credible," the prime minister said bluntly, not surprised.

Tempest raised an eyebrow, not knowing for a moment why he had come to his conclusion.

"I said before that there were no bones, why did you suddenly find them? It's too coincidental," the prime minister tapped the table lightly and looked up at the wind, "You go and bring me the bones, as for the man...... Just do it. ”

"Yes!" Tempest nodded, then quickly went out.

The prime minister bowed his head, and on the table was a defense map of the entire imperial city.

It was a blueprint he had worked so hard to come up with, and it would be very helpful for her next plans.

Gently drawing a few lines with his fingers, the prime minister drew a few important positions with a pen, and a sneer appeared on his face.

In a few days, the Gentiles would send people to visit, and if the Emperor was to make peace with the Gentiles, then what he had to do next would be considered difficult.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, he arranged manpower early in the morning and decided to do it as soon as the foreign envoys came to the capital.

It doesn't matter whether they kill or not, the important thing is to make them think that the emperor is not sincere to them, so that they can stop their desire to make friends.

With a low smile, the prime minister raised his eyes and looked at the shadows that flashed outside, his expression was a little intriguing.

At this time, in the imperial palace, the emperor was sitting at the table, carefully arranging the specific details of the foreign visit.

He attached great importance to this visit, so he asked the Ministry of Rites for detailed arrangements.

"Holy Lord," the father-in-law suddenly entered the door and handed a letter to the emperor.

"Where did this come from?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and when he saw that only the word secret was written on the letter, he looked up directly at his father-in-law.

"It's from the Prime Minister's Mansion," the public said openly, his expression a little hesitant, "but the person who came to deliver the letter said that it had already been discovered by the Prime Minister, so I don't know if this news is true or not." ”

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, opened the letter directly, and read it at a glance.

After reading the letter, the emperor raised his eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, "He really got the defense map of the capital, it seems that I guessed correctly before, he really wants to do something about foreign visits." ”

"What if he deliberately confuses the line of sight?" The father-in-law shook his head and reminded the emperor specifically.

"Or he is an old fox," the Emperor sneered, "he just thinks that I will not believe that he has exposed his thoughts so simply, so he plans to rebel against me."

"So, can we arrange for someone to set up the defense?" The father-in-law nodded and followed the emperor's train of thought.

"Of course, but ......," the Emperor paused, then spoke leisurely, "but we'd better put some false news on it." ”

"The slave knows," the father-in-law instantly understood what the emperor meant, saluted, and then hurried out.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

The emperor leaned back in the dragon chair, a smile on his face.

Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I don't believe you can play with flowers.

A silent game quietly began, and Xiao Ji, who was outside the capital, didn't know about it, and was hurrying to the capital.

Although I don't know how much suspicion the Cheng has of the news he handed over before, they don't have time left.

"As soon as I received the news, the two of them began to arrange the visit of the envoys," Xiao Zhenheng said solemnly as he rode a fast horse.

He has his own news channel, and the speed of obtaining news is faster than Xiao Ji.

"An envoy visiting?" Xiao Ji narrowed his eyes and subconsciously figured out the deep meaning behind this.

Cheng Shuiyao leaned in front of Xiao Ji, and no one noticed a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

According to the timeline of the original text, the envoy's visit was after Xiao Ji seized power, and it did not have much impact on the entire storyline, at most it promoted economic and trade exchanges between countries.

Now that the timeline is moving forward, it's a bit crucial.

Although the foreign countries are not strong, the war horses they raise are really good, whether in endurance or speed, they are far better than their own war horses.

Once the war begins, this war horse is a great weapon.

"Do you guess the prime minister will woo the foreigners, or will he simply transfer the relationship between the foreigners and the emperor?" Xiao Zhenheng looked at Xiao Ji, looking like he wanted to hear his thoughts.

"Recently, the foreign regimes have been quite stable, and they are developing their economies internally, so they should not have time to send troops to help the prime minister, and there is not much help for the appearance, so the prime minister should not pin his hopes on foreign countries," Xiao Ji said his analysis one by one, and it can be seen that it has been carefully considered.

"I'm the same as you think," Xiao Zhenheng nodded, and there was no objection to his idea.
