The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Chapter 84: The smile hidden in the smile is deadly, and the beauty’s scheming is heart-breaking?

What Gu Wangshu could think of, Gu Chengfeng also thought of, and the two people's ideas were surprisingly consistent.

All day long, Gu Wangshu and Gu Chengfeng had been discussing countermeasures in the study.

It was late at night, and Gu Wangshu was about to leave, but at this moment there was a knock on the study door.

The two of them looked at the door at the same time, and a tall figure was reflected on the window paper. This figure looked like a man at first glance, but from the look of his body shape, he looked a bit unfamiliar and did not look like someone from the general's mansion.

"Who?" Gu Chengfeng asked warily.

"It's me." The voice outside the door was gentle and low, like a stream in the mountains, full of clear magnetism.

Although it was just two words, Gu Wangshu and Gu Chengfeng still recognized who this person was. Disbelief flashed across their faces at the same time. They had never expected that he would come to the general's residence so late.

"Please come in."

The door of the study was pushed open from the outside.

In the pitch-black night, he was wearing black clothes and a big hood on his head. The upper half of his face was completely hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.

He raised his legs and crossed the threshold. The moment he entered the study, the light in the room enveloped him. At the same time, he took off his broad black hat, revealing his true face in Lushan.

The visitor is tall and slender, with a gentle and elegant face. There is a natural calm and unhurried elegance in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, exuding a bookish atmosphere that is only found in literati.

This person is none other than Helian Jue, the crown prince of Helian Kingdom.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" It was expected that the person coming was him based on his voice, but it was still hard to believe that he actually saw Lord Helian.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Unless there are special circumstances, His Highness the Crown Prince, who is still under confinement, will never take the risk of making this trip. The fact that he can come in person shows that things are definitely not simple.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Wangshu guessed correctly, things were indeed not that simple.

He Lianjue came here mainly for two things. These two things were about Concubine Wen and He Lianhuan respectively.

He took out a few small notes from his arms.

The paper strip was very small, about the same length and width as a finger, and had signs of being rolled.

Helianjue spread out these notes on the desk. There were eight in total. Each one was full of words. When he looked closer, he saw that there was nothing special about it. It was more like a girl's wish.

For example, the first one says: I wish my father and mother good health and a long life. My daughter misses you very much.

The content of the second picture is: I wish Nalan Kingdom and Helian Kingdom will become stronger and stronger, and they will be adjacent to each other and never have a war.

The contents of the next few pictures are all similar.

Gu Wangshu pointed at these notes and said:

"These all belong to Concubine Wen?"

Helian Jue's face was solemn: "In recent days, Concubine Wen has been flying pigeons to deliver messages every day. The craftsman I installed in Fengluan Palace caught all those pigeons and found that they were all delivering these things."

The three people present knew very well what Concubine Wen was going to do.

Concubine Wen undoubtedly wanted to deliver news to Nalan Kingdom, but she also knew that the news would not spread so easily.

Once his true purpose is exposed, he will be killed.

She wanted to deliver the news without being discovered, so she came up with a way to confuse the audience with false news.

This method is very similar to the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Gu Wangshu used this method when delivering news to Zhao Bingcheng.

Gu Wangshu immediately realized that the tricks used by Concubine Wen were exactly the same as those he had used before.

"I think Concubine Wen is trying to make something out of nothing. I wonder what Shangshu Gu and Miss Gu think?"

"My official's thoughts are the same as His Highness's. What do you think, Xiao Shu?"

Gu Wangshu nodded: "It's a lie, it's not a lie, it's actually what it is."

What she said was the original text of the seventh stratagem of 36 strategies, making a plan out of nothing.

Lie means to deceive.

Non-deception means not complete deception.

In fact, to lie is to make the deception come true.

It means: over and over again, large and small illusions are used to cover up the truth.

The essence of making something out of nothing is that it is false at first, but after being false many times, it becomes true.

If it is easy for others to believe, guide them.

If it is not easy for others to believe, deceive them.

There is no shortage of precedents in history for making something out of nothing.

As a former general, Gu Chengfeng was not only familiar with military books, but also knew famous battles in history.

He suddenly thought of the story of the Sui Dynasty general He Ruobi who used a trick to break through the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and destroy the Chen Kingdom.

It was not easy to cross the Yangtze River to reach the Chen State on the other side and fight with it. He Ruobi set up camp in the Yangtze River, training his troops every day, and pretending to attack the Chen State at any time.

Upon seeing this, the Chen garrison thought that the Sui army was about to cross the river, so they immediately prepared for battle and planned to fight it.

But the strange thing is that the Sui army did not attack and evacuated within a few days.

General Chen Jun was confused and thought that the Sui army did not cross the river because there were not enough ships.

A few days later, the Sui army came back, and Chen's army began to prepare for war again. However, this time the Sui army was bluffing again and then withdrew.

For a long period of time, the Sui army followed this method over and over again, which exhausted Chen Jun. Finally, when the Sui army came again, Chen Jun was not surprised and did not take it seriously at all.

He Ruobi had done his best and felt that when the time came, he organized his troops and crossed the Yangtze River to attack. By the time Chen Jun discovered it, it was too late.

This is making something out of nothing.

Many times before, it was all fake. When the enemy relaxed their vigilance, a real one suddenly came without any warning. If the enemy didn't check, failure was inevitable.

Now Guifei Wen took this move.

Her real purpose is really obvious. She knew that there would be chaos within the Helian Kingdom on New Year's Eve, so she wanted to send a message to the Nalan Kingdom in advance and take advantage of the civil strife in the Helian Kingdom to attack Taicang Pass on New Year's Eve.

At that time, the Helian Kingdom was undergoing a succession of thrones, and Yong'an was thousands of miles away from Taicang Pass. It would be at least ten days before the news of the Nalan Kingdom's attack on Taicang Pass reached Yong'an.

"What a trick to create something out of nothing." Gu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh at Concubine Wen's scheming.

"What are your plans, His Royal Highness?"

Helian Jue cast comforting eyes on Gu Chengfeng and Gu Wangshu.

"Don't worry, with careful work, her flying pigeon message won't be able to spread."

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Wangshu felt relieved and asked what the second thing was.

When it came to the second thing, Helianjue's expression was obviously more serious than when he mentioned Concubine Wen Fei Ge's letter.

"News came from Xi Zuo that He Lianhuan met with the Minister of Civil Affairs today."

He Lianjue informed Gu Chengfeng and Gu Wangshu of the news that Xi Zuo had heard.

After saying this, all three of them looked solemn.

Gu Wangshu asked: "Do you think this news is true or false?"

"It's hard to say." Gu Chengfeng couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Prince Xiang.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Even Helianjue had difficulty judging whether what Helianhuan said was true or false.

At first, they used He Lianhuan's detailed work to pass the "criminal silver" to him.

They could not guarantee whether He Lianhuan would pass false news to their agents.

It's hard to tell.

True is also false, and false is also true.

The news Zhou Mingde got was enough to cause headaches, and now Xizuo got another version of the news.
