Japan's own country, Xijing Imperial City, the residence of the third prince Suzuki Shi.
"Oh! Mr. Cao, you are here! Please sit down."
Suzuki Zhike politely invited Cao Zhi to his seat and at the same time ordered the maid to serve tea.
Cao Zhi held a feather fan and knelt down opposite Suzuki Zhi.
Behind him were a man and a woman wearing masks, it was Li Bai and A Ke.
However, not only did the appearance of the two men be concealed, but their clothes were also changed into ordinary guard uniforms.
"Your Highness, why are you so anxious?"
Cao Zhi had been in Xijing for a month. He met Suzuki Zhi in a restaurant and revealed his identity as a Qingguo native without any secret.
However, he was an aide of Ximen Dingtian. After Ximen Dingtian's house was ransacked, he escaped and fled to the Japanese country.
And Ji Wubing had already made arrangements there, so he was not afraid of checking.
Cao Zhi also kept a low profile in the Zhenxi Army. Suzuki Zhi couldn't find anything at all with a little trick.
What the other party can find out is that there is indeed a man named Cao Zhi in the Ximen Dingtian Mansion.
As a fugitive, Cao Zhi used his talents to let Suzuki Zhi defeat Suzuki Gong in the fight for the prince.
Now that Suzuki is employing people again, he can't care so much about it. He will first step into the position of crown prince.
Therefore, this wise man from Qingguo became Suzuki Zhi's guest and won his trust.
"Alas! Mr. Cao, now we have reached a critical moment. The Second Prince is making frequent moves, but we have been standing still... I feel a little unsure!"
Suzuki Zhi sighed. Although he rose quickly and Ximen Hao's talisman also helped a lot, Suzuki Zhi's power in the palace still had the upper hand.
"Haha, don't be anxious, Your Highness. The Second Emperor has great power in the palace, but wanting to be the crown prince depends not only on the palace, but also on public opinion. Your Third Highness, do you know Ximen Hao?"
Cao Zhi smiled.
Suzuki Zhi's eyelids twitched. Not only did he know about Ximen Hao, he also often dreamed about that evil guy.
Of course, there is also the "Legend of Ximen Hao", which allows him to better understand how the other party waits for the throne of God step by step.
"Cao Jun means to develop public opinion?"
"That's right! Ximen Hao has a good saying: Food is the first priority for the people, the country is based on the people, and the world is for those who win the hearts of the people! Our power in the palace started late, and you are the third prince, so you want to get more
Capital must come from the private sector.”
Cao Zhi led Suzuki into the ditch step by step.
Suzuki Zhi frowned. Although what the other party said was good, he didn't have so much time!
"Cao Jun, my father will soon decide who will be the crown prince. Is it too late?"
"Hahaha! It's not too late! Your Highness, Third Prince, have you ever heard of the rise of White Lotus Dao during this period?"
Cao Zhitong threw out the bait.
This bait was also what Ximen Hao told him, and White Lotus Dao was under his control.
"Bai Lian Dao? Huh! They're just a bunch of heretics who cheated Yuanshi! They used to be in coastal cities, but now they have come inland. They are really looking for death! The royal family will not deal with them, and the ninja sect cannot tolerate such a force.
.”
Suzuki Shi was full of disdain for Byakurendo, which was also the view of all members of the royal family towards Byakurendo.
Cao Zhi's face straightened and he said in a deep voice:
"Have you ever thought, Your Highness, that the White Lotus Way has turned half of the Japanese people into believers? Even in Xijing City, there are people enshrining the statue of the White Lotus Saint."
Suzuki Zhi curled his lips in disdain at first, but then thought of something and couldn't help but grab Cao Zhi's hand.
"Cao Jun means..."
Cao Zhi pulled his hand back without leaving any trace, and secretly rubbed it on his body a few times.
"That's right! If you want to seize the public opinion in a short period of time, this White Lotus Way is a shortcut. At that time, as long as the White Lotus Saint says a word, many ordinary people will publicize your goodness and support you as the crown prince. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will consider it."
The more Suzuki listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he also felt frightened.
If he hadn't been reminded by the other party, he wouldn't have known that Bai Liandao could already subvert a court's bid for the crown prince!
Cao Zhi saw Suzuki Zhi's expression change and understood what the other party was thinking. In order to prevent Bai Liandao from becoming the target of public criticism, he hurriedly said:
"Of course, this is just an idea I have. I don't know if Bailian Dao has this ability. We can only find out after contacting him."
Suzuki Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and then said:
"Then do as Mr. Cao wants. Now that Bailiandao has arrived in Changqi City, you can send someone to make contact."
"I am willing to make a trip for His Highness the Third Highness."
Cao Zhi said quickly.
Suzuki stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply:
"Cao Jun! Your great kindness! I will remember it!"
"Hahaha! Your Highness, you're welcome. When the time comes that you have achieved imperial status, you can make me a high official and enjoy the wealth and honor in the world."
Cao straightened up and returned the salute, showing a greedy look at the same time.
Suzuki Zhi breathed a sigh of relief again. Cao Zhi's sudden appearance made him wary, but the other party did have a good idea, so he had to use it again.
He is not afraid that the other party is greedy, but he is afraid that the other party is aloof, looks down on glory and wealth, and seeks other things.
"Cao Jun, please sit down quickly and tell me your plan."
Suzuki Zhi now regards Cao Zhi as the backbone of his great achievements, and he becomes more and more polite.
He is now like a drowning person in the sea, and Cao Zhi is a small boat in the sea that can save his life.
"Your Highness, please sit down and I will slowly explain to you..."
…
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have gained 3000 points of vitality!"
Host: Ximen Hao
Level: Great Perfection of Transformation (10000/11700)
Supernatural power: Illusion of magical mirror, scattering beans and forming soldiers (5/10)
"It's less than two thousand vitality. It seems that Xiao Ji doesn't have to die and has completed the mission ahead of schedule."
Ximen Hao was sitting alone on the flying boat. Since arriving in Japan, every time he took the Vitality Pill, he would run to the flying boat. Maybe he thought it was safe up there.
"Mr. Host, don't be complacent. Even if you reach a high level, you still need time to develop medicine. Your little Ji is not just suffering from kidney deficiency, but also has the influence of heaven."
Xixi poured a basin of cold water over Ximen Hao.
"Mad! So, Master Hao has given up so many treasures and has reached the Kaiyun stage, but he is still not sure whether he can save Xiaoji? Damn it!"
Ximen Hao went berserk. There are still two months until Xiaoji dies. Isn’t this nonsense!
"Host, Xixi is not omnipotent. I can only try my best, but there are always surprises. I have said that his illness is not just due to kidney deficiency, but mainly due to the influence of heaven."
Xixi's tone became rigid, a bit businesslike.
"Fuck!"
Ximen Hao cursed, then lay down on the flying boat, staring at the sky in a daze.
His mood was terrible at the moment.
I don't know how long I stayed there before my spirit moved and I flew down.
In any case, let’s upgrade to the Kering stage first and let the system upgrade.
