After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure Chapter 602 - 602 His son was a demon, right?

Chapter 602 - 602 His son was a demon, right?

602 His son was a demon, right?
Xiao Yuanshi was surprised to receive the letter.
It was the first time Xiao Hanzheng had asked to meet him.
He was just about to keep the letter, as it might be useful in the future.
Who knew that the words on the paper would actually disappear bit by bit?!!
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
Indeed, his son was more cunning than a fox.
It seemed that something special had been added to the ink.
As long as the letter was opened and read, the words would disappear.
Hence, no one would be able to find any evidence.
His eyes were filled with admiration and mixed feelings.
After sitting in the study room for a while, Xiao Yuanshi stood up and left the deputy governor’s office when it was dark.
He didn’t bring anyone with him, and he even deliberately shook off the two intelligent agents who were following him.
Then he entered a small teahouse in a remote alley.
He went upstairs to one of the private rooms.
When he walked in, he noticed Xiao Hanzheng preparing Kongfu tea while he sat.
His posture was elegant, like a noble master from the capital.
He walked over and sat down. “I didn’t expect that we would have time to meet up for tea.”
He didn’t know if he was being sarcastic or happy.
Xiao Hanzheng had just finished making tea and handed him a cup. “Didn’t you say you wanted to cooperate?”
Xiao Yuanshi took the teacup and smiled. “Are you looking for me to cooperate with you?”
Xiao Hanzheng didn’t beat around the bush. “I won’t go back on my promise to work with you to find the treasure.”
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. “There’s some progress on the treasure?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “That’s right. The previous dynasty cooperated with Prince Jin’s men. They will join forces to find the treasure soon.
“Those from the previous dynasty had frequent private contact with the Ge Kingdom.
“My guess is that the border has been politically unstable recently, and it often looks like a war is about to break out. They have joined forces to deliberately create this to attract your attention.”
Xiao Yuanshi was surprised and said, “No wonder I felt something was wrong.”
Logically speaking, the people of the Ge Kingdom should not have been so restless during this season.
The key was that the Daliang Army was not weak either, so the Ge Kingdom would not have much of an advantage if they started a war.
It turned out that they wanted to create chaos at the border so that when he and the third prince went to tone down the situation at the border, they could secretly go to find the treasure.
“Then, what’s your purpose in meeting me today?” he asked.
Xiao Hanzheng saw that his scumbag father was already aware of where this was leading.
He had always known that other than being cold-blooded, there was nothing wrong with his father’s agility and ability.
“Those from the previous dynasty had looked for Ge Chunying and asked her to steal your defense map.”
“I just want you to beat them in their own game,” he said bluntly.
Xiao Yuanshi was not surprised that Xiao Hanzheng knew about this.
His son was much more powerful than he had imagined.
However, when he mentioned Ge Chunying, his face showed a moment of unnaturalness.
After all, he was now hanging out with Ge Chunying, and it was a little awkward in front of his son.
“You want me to give the defense map to Ge Chunyi and let her exchange it for silver?”
He frowned. “But the risk is too high. If the defense at our border is broken, there will be a lot of damage.”
“Only you and the third prince have the defense map,” Xiao Hanzheng said.
“Only you know what it looks like.
“Why give it to Ge Chunying in its entirety?”
These words gave Xiao Yuanshi more ideas. “You want me to get a fake one, and maybe we can even defend back?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes.”
“When the border war breaks out, those from the previous dynasty will also make a move, and that’s when we’ll take the initiative to attack,” he added.
Xiao Yuanshi thought about it for a while. “It’s indeed a good idea to beat them at their own game and lure them out.”
Then he raised his eyebrows. “But aren’t you afraid that they’ll plot against you?”
Xiao Hanzheng also raised his eyebrows. “We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. We can’t let the power of the previous dynasty go on like this.”
He had learned from Prince Yi that those from the previous dynasty were adding fire to the fuel and forming some so-called “uprising” armies, saying that they wanted to help the orthodox royal family.
It also caused some commoners to suffer.
For the sake of revenge and retaining their territory, those from the previous dynasty did not care about the lives of the people.
It was no wonder that their dynasty had been destroyed back then.
If Daliang were to return to the hands of such a royal family, it would be a disaster for the people in Daliang.
Although Xiao Yuanshi was calculative, he also disliked the imperial family of the previous dynasty.
He thought for a moment. “You want me and the third prince to go to the border to fight with them, and then you and Prince Yi will go to steal the treasure?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Only then would it be safer.
“Regardless of whether it’s Prince Jin or those from the previous dynasty, they might not have thought that we would cooperate.”
Xiao Yuanshi chuckled. “That’s true.”
Their relationship as father and son was like fire and water.
Everyone knew about it. As the father, he was a joke.
However, he was a little hesitant about whether he should listen to Xiao Hanzheng.
After all, he had been eyeing the treasure.
In the past, he wanted to have a share of the pie himself.
However, since Ge Chunru had stolen the treasure map, he had wanted to find the treasure as soon as possible and present it to the emperor to atone for his crimes.
Therefore, he wanted to stay behind and personally watch over the treasure.
How could Xiao Hanzheng not see his plan? “If you want to atone for your mistake, the best way is to cooperate with me and Prince Yi.
“Otherwise, if you make any more mistakes, you can only go back to Xiaxi Village to farm.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
His son had really taken everything into account. He suddenly felt that he was old.
“As a Daliang citizen and a general who once protected the country, I believe you should be very clear on what choice you should make,” Xiao Hanzheng continued.
Xiao Yuanshi was silent for a moment before he said, “Alright, I’ll cooperate with you. Tomorrow, I will give the fake defense deployment map to Ge Chunyi.”
“Can’t do it tomorrow,” Xiao Hanzheng said. “It’s too sudden, and it’ll make those from the previous dynasty suspicious.
“It’s best to have Ge Chunying go to your study room to look for it in a few days. She can end up saying that she accidentally found it on you.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
His son was a demon, right? He was even able to deduce that he had it with him.
“I know,” he said helplessly.
Although he was very unhappy that Prince Yi had taken his wife away, it seemed that he had no other choice.
If Prince Yi and Xiao Hanzheng succeeded in the end, with their personalities, they would not deliberately hide their achievements.
Xiao Hanzheng picked up his teacup. “Let’s wish us a happy cooperation with tea in place of wine!”
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to laugh.
He was being led by the nose, and he was not happy at all.
However, he still picked up the cup and touched it. “I hope we succeed!”
Xiao Hanzheng finished his tea and stood up. “Goodbye!”
It was rare for Xiao Yuanshi to drink tea with him alone.
He couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not going to sit down?”
In the past, he didn’t care about it, but now, perhaps as he grew older, he suddenly longed for the relationship between father and son.
Xiao Hanzheng glanced at him indifferently. “No!”
Then he opened the door and left without any hesitation, leaving behind Xiao Yuanshi in a bitter state.
Xiao Yuanshi sat for a while more before he got up and left.
After returning to the deputy governor’s office, he first went to the study room and made a defense map that was partially false.
The Ge people were not stupid.
If it was all fake, they would definitely be able to tell.
Then he went to Ge Chunying’s room.
