Xiao Yuanshi was very surprised when he received the letter. This was the first time Xiao Hanzheng took the initiative to ask him to meet.

He was just about to put the letter away, keeping it for future use.

Who would have thought that when I saw the handwriting on the paper, it disappeared little by little.

Xiao Yuanshi: "..." Sure enough, his son is smarter than a fox.

It seems that something special is added to this ink. As long as the letter paper is opened and read, the writing will disappear, so that no one will be caught.

There was a hint of appreciation and complexity in his eyes.

After sitting in the study for a while, Xiao Yuanshi got up and left the Deputy Governor's Mansion after it got dark.

He had no one with him, and deliberately threw away the two spies who were following him.

Then we entered a small, remote teahouse in an alley.

Went upstairs to one of the private rooms.

When I entered, I saw Xiao Hanzheng sitting and making Gongfu tea. His posture was elegant and he looked like a noble prince from the capital.

He walked over and sat down, "I didn't expect that we would have an appointment to have tea together."

He himself didn't know whether this was sarcasm or a happy sigh.

Xiao Hanzheng had just made tea and handed him a cup, "Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate before?"

Xiao Yuanshi took the teacup and smiled, "Are you asking me to cooperate?"

Xiao Hanzheng didn't mince words, "I promised to cooperate with you to find the treasure. Naturally, I will not go back on it."

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, "Has there been any progress regarding the treasure?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, we cooperated with King Jin's people in the past, and they will join forces to find the treasure recently."

"People from the previous dynasty still had frequent private contacts with Ge Guo. I guess the recent instability on the border, which often looks like a war, was created by them together to attract your attention."

Xiao Yuanshi was a little surprised, "No wonder I feel something is wrong."

It stands to reason that the people of Ge State should not be so restless at this season. The key point is that their Daliang troops are not bad now, and they do not have much advantage over Ge State in starting a war.

It turned out that he wanted to create chaos at the border. When he and the third prince went to the border to suppress it, they could secretly go to Chencang to find the treasure.

He asked: "Then what is the purpose of your appointment with me today?"

Xiao Hanzheng saw that Scumbag's father had already reacted. He had always known that apart from being cold-blooded, there was not much problem with this man's agility and ability.

"People from the previous dynasty asked Ge Chunyi to steal your defense plans."

He said bluntly: "I want you to take advantage of it."

Xiao Yuanshi was not surprised that Xiao Hanzheng knew about this. This son was much more powerful than he imagined.

Just mentioning Ge Chunyi, his face showed unnaturalness for a moment.

After all, he is now hanging out with Ge Chunyi and is a little embarrassed in front of his son.

"You want me to give the defense map to Ge Chunyi and ask her to exchange it for money?"

He frowned, "But the risk is too great. If our border defenses are breached, there will be great damage."

Xiao Hanzheng said: "Only you and the Third Prince have the defense map. Only you know what it looks like."

"Why did you give it to Ge Chunyi exactly as it is?"

These words suddenly gave Xiao Yuanshi more ideas, "You want me to get a fake one, and maybe I can fight back?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Not bad."

He added: "When fighting breaks out on the border, the forces of the previous government will also start to move. That's when we take the initiative to attack."

Xiao Yuanshi thought for a while, "It is indeed a good way to use the trick to lure the snake out of the hole."

Then he raised his eyebrows, "But aren't you afraid of being plotted against by them?"

Xiao Hanzheng also raised his eyebrows, "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. The cancer of the previous dynasty cannot be allowed to continue."

He learned from King Yi that the forces of the previous dynasty were fanning the flames in many places and launched some so-called "rebellion" armies, saying that they wanted to support the orthodox royal family.

It also caused some people to suffer.

In order to take revenge and regain the country, those in the previous dynasty did not care about the lives of the people.

It is no wonder that the dynasty was destroyed back then. If the world returned to the hands of such a royal family, it would be a disaster for the people of Daliang.

Although Xiao Yuanshi had many calculations, he was also very disgusted with the previous royal family.

He thought for a while, "You want me and the third prince to go to the border to suppress it, and then you and King Yi go to watch and steal the treasure?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "This is the only way to be more secure."

"Neither King Jin nor the forces of the previous dynasty would have thought that you and I would cooperate."

Xiao Yuanshi laughed, "That's true."

It is well known that the relationship between father and son is incompatible, and he as a father is even more of a joke.

But he was a little hesitant as to whether he should listen to Xiao Hanzheng or not.

After all, he has always been eyeing the treasure. He used to want to swallow part of it alone, but since the treasure map was stolen by Ge Chunru, all he wanted to do was to quickly find the treasure and present it to the emperor to atone for his sins.

So I wanted to stay and watch and grab the treasure myself.

Xiao Hanzheng couldn't tell what his plan was, "If you want to redeem yourself, the best way is to cooperate with me and King Yi."

"Otherwise if something goes wrong again, you will have no choice but to go back to Xiaxi Village to farm."

Xiao Yuanshi: "..."

This son really took everything into account, and he suddenly felt that he was old.

Xiao Hanzheng added: "As a native of Liang, and a general who once protected our family and country, I believe you should be very clear about what choice to make."

Xiao Yuanshi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

"Tomorrow I will give the fake defense plan to Ge Chunyi."

Xiao Hanzheng said: "Not tomorrow, it would be too abrupt and would make the previous powers suspicious."

"It's best to ask Ge Chunyi to search in your study in a few days, and finally tell him that he accidentally found it on you."

Xiao Yuanshi: "..." Is this son a spirit? You can still guess that something is on him.

He said helplessly: "I know."

Although he was very unhappy that King Yi had snatched his wife away, it seemed that he had only this choice now.

If King Yi and Xiao Hanzheng succeed in the end, given their temperament, they will not bother to deliberately hide their achievements.

Xiao Hanzheng picked up the teacup and said, "Wish us happy cooperation with tea instead of wine!"

Xiao Yuanshi thought: "..." He was led by the nose, but he was not happy at all.

But he still picked up the cup and touched it, "I hope we succeed!"

Xiao Hanzheng drank the tea in the cup and stood up, "Goodbye!"

It was rare for Xiao Yuanshi to drink tea peacefully alone with him, so he couldn't help but ask: "Don't sit down anymore?"

He used to think it didn't matter, but now maybe as he gets older, he suddenly longs for the love between father and son.

Xiao Hanzheng glanced at him lightly, "No!"

Then he opened the door and left without any hesitation, leaving Xiao Yuanshi with a bitter look on his face.

Xiao Yuanshi sat for a while longer before getting up and leaving.

After returning to the Deputy Governor's Mansion, he first went to the study and made a half-true and half-false defense map.

The Ge people are not stupid, and they would definitely be able to tell if it was all fake.
