Chapter 206: Just because he's a villain
"Xu Zhang, do you know what this king called you here late at night?"
Xu Zhang, among the three major battalions, the guard of the Tiexue battalion.
It was also when the crown prince Liu Qi was looking for a camp that he served as a guard for the stool.
Hearing the prince's question, Xu Zhang was slightly stunned, this should have been what he wanted to ask, but the prince said it first.
He shook his head in confusion.
"My subordinates don't know."
"This king wants to give you a chance to become an official, do you want it or not!?"
As soon as he heard that he was added to the knighthood, Xu Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, it was the kind of light that could shine in the dark night!
"Although His Royal Highness commands, Xu Zhang will do the work of the whole horse!"
Liu Qi was very satisfied with his answer, and he wanted this attitude.
But Liu Qi didn't say it directly, but continued to buy a pass.
"Xu Zhang, you must know that with your current official position, it is not easy to be promoted again."
"This king can tell you the truth, what he wants you to do this time is not simple, and even your original official position may not be guaranteed, so are you still willing?"
Hearing the prince say this, the smile on Xu Zhang's face immediately froze.
With his head down, after hesitating for a few seconds.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general is willing!"
If at first, it was to verify whether he had such a desire, then the second time was to see how firm he was in this desire.
And all this is just as Liu Qi expected.
"Good!"
"General Xu, tomorrow evening, this king's troops will be drawn from the camp, at that time, you will lead the army to meet us, and on the way, order your men to control the pro-army sent by Wood, as well as Li Shouting, the guards arranged for this king."
"This king wants to take his troops and leave the north for a while, can you do this?"
Not to mention Xu Zhang, even Qin Wei behind him, and Zhao Wenhui. They were all stunned.
They only knew that the prince wanted to meet Xu Zhang late at night, but they didn't know that he was looking for him to help the army leave the north.
Now the officials in Beiping, especially Wood's subordinates, who don't know that Liu Qi has now been regained military power by the imperial court, and at the same time, he is still being closely monitored.
Help him get out of the North, it's a felony to lose his head!
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Zhang said tremblingly.
"Temple... Your Highness, you're not kidding, are you? ”
"The last general has only 10,000 men in his hands, how can he stop General Wood's soldiers and horses."
"Now, if I do this, how can Wood let the last general go, he will kill me!"
Looking at his frightened look, Liu Qi smiled. He patted him on the shoulder, as if relieved.
"You don't have to worry about this, since this king promised you that he would give you an official title, he will never let you lose your life."
"Among so many generals in the north, this king values you the most, if you can do this, it will be a great achievement, and this king will never treat you badly."
"Of course, you also have a second option!"
Hearing that there were other options, Xu Zhang's face disappeared halfway.
"What is it?"
"That is, after we say these words, we will immediately run to tell Li Shouting, or Wood."
"If this king's plan fails, it's just a big deal to return to Qingdu, but if this king holds power again one day, he won't forget it."
said it was a choice, but to Xu Zhang's ears, it was more like a threat.
However, he also understood that the crown prince was definitely forced to a certain point.
Otherwise, how can you find yourself and say these words?
Helping him is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and in the future, the prince will regain power, and with this matter, he will definitely be able to be promoted to a high-ranking official.
But if he helped him, the prince would lose power, and his official career might end here.
It's even possible to lose your head because of this matter.
If you don't help, you can also go to Li Shouting and use this information to exchange for a higher official position.
But in comparison, this value is definitely not as big as helping the prince, and the official position promoted may not be very high.
Xu Zhang thought about it for a while, and there was a fierce ideological struggle in his mind.
Without waiting for him to reply, Liu Qi sneered.
"Let's go."
The prince turned around and was about to leave, without even looking at Xu Zhang.
Just when Liu Qi was about to get into the car, Xu Zhang suddenly felt relieved and ran over.
"Your Highness, the last general is willing!"
Liu Qi smiled slightly.
"Excellent! General Xu, this will be the most correct choice you have made in your life! ”
After saying that, he entered the carriage.
Qin Wei walked towards Xu Zhang.
"You go back and start preparing, if there is any news, Your Highness will send someone to inform you."
Xu Zhang nodded in a daze, and shouted in a low voice in the night.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Looking at the fading firelight, Xu Zhang didn't know if he would really tell the prince what he said......
At this time, in the carriage, Zhao Wenhui couldn't help asking.
"Your Highness, when you visited the camp some time ago, you said that Xu Zhang is a villain, so why do you still use him?"
Liu Qihe laughed.
"Just because he's a villain!"
Regarding the prince's answer, Zhao Wenhui was very confused.
"Sometimes, villains make better use of them than gentlemen."
"Xu Zhang, this guy, since the first time this king saw him, he took the initiative to be courteous, such a person, but if there is a little opportunity to climb up, he will never miss it."
"Your Highness, how do you know that he will agree? In case of... As soon as he turned his head, he told Li Shouting what you told him, or what Wood said, what should I do? ”
Liu Qi shook his head with a smile.
"No!!"
"Xu Zhang, although he is very good at doing things, his ability is not very good, he has never been entrusted by Wood, and he has not become his confidant after working for so many years."
"To be honest, Xu Zhang has long been dissatisfied, otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to offer his hospitality to this king, and if he does this, isn't he afraid of offending Wood?"
"The only explanation is that his relationship with Wood has long been bad, so it doesn't matter if he is offended."
Although Liu Qi said so, Zhao Wenhui was still a little worried.
The prince also said just now that this guy is good at sycophants, but he actually has no ability.
Wouldn't it be bad if it was bad to give him such an important thing in this way?
"Your Highness, with Wood's character, if he had done so, he would have been severely responsible. How will you protect him then, or... You're just talking. ”
"Of course, it's not just talking, this king will give him a chance to stay alive."
Zhao Wenhui hesitated, but still asked the question she had thought before.
"Your Highness, that's... If Xu Zhang doesn't succeed, then what should we do? ”
Liu Qi suddenly hugged her in his arms.
"Silly girl."
"Who told you that this king's plan is all on Xu Zhang's alone?"
