Before Xiao Wen transmigrated, he spent most of his time in the southern part of China. But he had not been north.
Naturally, he had also been to the bathhouse in the north.
Thus, he didn't have any objection to the two men bathing in the bath.
Even more exaggerated, he had even seen some of his brothers in the gym or in the locker room of the swimming pool …
At this moment, Xiao Wen was sitting in the bathroom's pool with Old Master Cai, enjoying a hot bath that was cooked by a servant. He couldn't help but squint.
"There shouldn't be anyone watching us, right?" Cai Ji, who was enjoying the warm water soaking his whole body, suddenly asked.
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile, "At least, I didn't see anyone monitoring us."
After entering the bathroom, Xiao Wen observed his surroundings. If someone was monitoring Xiao Wen, with his anti-detection abilities, no one would be able to escape his notice in this era.
Cai Zhen and Xiao Wen had been cooperating for quite a while, this old spy also knew about Xiao Wen's anti-detection skills. Thus, after Xiao Wen came to a conclusion, he nodded his head.
Lying in the pool, feeling the warm water flowing over his skin, Xiao Wen enjoyed the feeling with squinted eyes.
"I have to say, although He Ling is a high level official, but his ability to amass wealth is also among the best in this world." Xiao Wen evaluated.
Xiao Wen knew that it was rare in the history of China to be able to build such an exquisite bathroom. After all, in terms of bathing, China wasn't as particular as the Roman Empire.
If the Roman Empire focused their talents on the culture of bathing, then Huaxia focused its talents on the cuisine.
To be able to have such a good bathhouse in China's territory, it could only be said that He Ling's ability to amass wealth was first-rate.
It had to be said that He Heshen was a guy that could live in shame for ten thousand years in the name of a corrupt official, rather than a treacherous official.
"It's rare even in the Song Dynasty to have such a powerful ability to amass wealth." Mr Cai has no qualms about comparing it with officials in Song.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen laughed, "So, the officials of the Great Song Empire are also that good at self-deprecating?"
Cai surely didn't agree with Xiao Wen's words. He maintained a cold expression and stayed silent for a long time. Finally, he said to Xiao Wen, "I still need some time to sort out this matter."
Hearing this, Xiao Wen was stunned.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
"Can you tell me why?" he asked with a smile.
Cai Zou heard Xiao Wen's words and looked into his eyes.
Cai Zongming seemed to want to see the thoughts in Xiao Wen's eyes, but after looking at it for a long time, other than the ice-cold pressure, Cai Zongming didn't see anything else from Xiao Wen's body.
"I have to say, the descendants of the hundreds of families are all monsters. Both Hou Liang and you are not to be trifled with. " Cai Zhen said helplessly.
"If it's easy to provoke, how would I dare to coerce you guys to help?"
Xiao Wen was very clear on the meaning behind Cai Zongming's previous actions.
If there was a trace of nervousness in Xiao Wen's heart just now, it would mean that he wasn't confident enough.
As a spy from Song Kingdom who didn't want to be dragged into this battle, Cai Zongming would naturally choose someone easier to deal with. Killing the "irresistible Xiao Wen" was much easier than dealing with the "He Jia" who would cause a lot of trouble.
However, Xiao Wen wasn't the "unable to resist" Xiao Wen. Instead, he was the "unable to provoke" Xiao Wen.
Just give me a fulcrum, as Archimedes said, and I can pry the earth apart.
As someone who possessed a powerful and resourceful ability, Xiao Wen had already prepared for the war and set up a lot of backup plans in Bo Ke's army.
If Cai dared to act rashly, he, Archimedes, would be able to change the entire world's situation through the support point of Uncle Lee.
And in the world changed by Xiao Wen, no matter what happens in the future, Song Guo would become the biggest loser.
"If I didn't have the determination to fight to the death with my allies, I would only be by myself." Xiao Wen faintly smiled and said something that Cai Zhe was very afraid of.
"In that case, we can only cooperate with you. "You madman." Cai Zhen sighed.
He gloomily said, "Do you know what it means to be a corrupt official and be able to do such a thing?"
To be able to achieve such a huge amount of greed, what did it represent?
Hearing this, Xiao Wen was stunned for a long time.
After all, Xiao Wen had a good political class in high school. As long as one was able to understand politics well, they would naturally understand how society operated. In ancient times, those who understood the rules of society and had ambitions were fierce and ruthless. And even if one did not have the ambition, he was still a wise man.
After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Wen immediately understood the problem.
"Heshan... You have a strong backer in the Han Dynasty? "
"Yes." Cai Zhen nodded. "That's why we can't act rashly."
"Bam!" Hearing this, Xiao Wen smashed the stone slab in dissatisfaction.
However, he quickly calmed down.
He said: "I think if you were not sure that he would go to prison, you would have come early to discuss it with me. So, tell me what your next steps are. "
"Mister Xiao is indeed a person who understands the general situation. I was also worried that you would continue to threaten and even beat me. " Cai Zhen said calmly.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen sneered.
"If I do that, you'll probably think I'm mentally ill. "If that happens, I'm afraid I'll have to transform from a hunter into a prey again."
Xiao Wen was aware that if he were to force his neck with this kind of knife, he would be able to cut open his carotid artery. He was a spy who could maintain his calm even with blood gushing out of his neck continuously, and if he was unable to maintain his strength at all times, he would stumble over his feet.
Therefore, he had to always keep a wary eye on Cai Zheng to prevent him from betraying him.
Cai was also clear that his probing had failed again.
However, right now, Xiao Wen and Cai Cai were each taking what they needed.
Naturally, although his probing would arouse Xiao Wen's disgust, it wouldn't put him in any danger of breaking the contract.
It could be said that this was a zero-cost test.
Since the cost was zero, Cai definitely wouldn't have any worries.
He looked at Xiao Wen and told him his plan.
"Currently, Heshen has many connections within the imperial government. If we try to touch him, I'm afraid we'll trigger a counterattack from the court. After all, the envoys of the border feudal officials were all spies. If this matter were to be exposed, those who had tried to help He Heshen would all be in trouble. At that time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming out to protect He Heshen. "
Xiao Wen nodded. He knew that in the world of adults, nothing was right or wrong. What was there was only the pros and cons.
As long as it was beneficial for them, even if it was wrong, a lot of them would choose to participate.
And even if it was the right thing to do, as long as it was something unfavorable to them, it would make a bunch of people stop in their tracks.
In reality, Xiao Wen didn't expect the people behind He Heshen to give up protecting him once they found out that He Heshen was a spy.
Even if it was wrong to protect Heshan. However, if they did not protect He Heshen, it would be harmful to them.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Very simple." Looking at Xiao Wen, Cai Zhe said, "What we need to do is to let Heshen cause more damage in the clouds if the situation allows. For example, if Heshen wants to capture all the guests today, then we will give up on most of the guests. In this way, he will be able to infringe upon the interests of the imperial court's nobles in the clouds. "
"When the benefits of getting rid of Heshan outweigh the benefits of preserving it, we will once again appear as the savior of the world, protecting the interests of the powerful nobles from being violated."
"In this way, when we deal with He Heshen, we'll go with the flow, and we'll have no resistance."
After listening to Cai Yue's arrangements, Xiao Wen thought for a moment.
Suddenly, he stared at Cai Zhe and said, "No! I object to your plan! "
