Chapter 161: Holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes

Who says that landlords only have stupid sons? Who says that children from rich families must be spendthrifts?

Facts have proved that wealthy families will definitely give their children an elite education. The education may fail, but as long as the child is willing to learn, or the parents can force the child to learn, the children from wealthy families will definitely have resources that ordinary people can't imagine.

Happy education?

nonexistent.

Rich people like Khaled know to teach their son a foreign language from an early age, and an in-depth one that covers all aspects of the language and culture.

Another interesting thing is that Khaled studied English and his wife also studied English.

But Khaled made his son study Chinese and minor in English.

Then Mu Tianwen learned Chinese to such a level that Gao Yi felt ashamed of himself. Apart from other things, he could use several idioms in one sentence, and they were all used correctly, which Gao Yi really could not say.

The information entropy of idioms is so great. How many words are there in a sentence? If we take into account the allusions and implied meanings behind the idioms, it would take several sentences in English to express them.

Therefore, it was particularly easy to communicate with Mu Tianwen. With just one sentence of "I am the fish on the chopping board", Gao Yi knew what kind of hostile relationship Khaled and Shaman had. With another sentence of "I am the fish on the chopping board", Gao Yi also understood Khaled's situation.

These housekeepers are very good at running errands for Khaled and helping Khaled handle some dirty work.

However, when it comes to analyzing the situation and how to deal with this crisis, the housekeeper and the first lady combined cannot see it as clearly as Mu Tianwen alone.

"Why has Mu Tianwen... why has Mu Han not stepped forward to take charge of the situation?"

After leaving Khaled's house and following the housekeeper outside again, Gao Yi's first question was why Mu Tianwen did not step forward to take charge of the situation after Khaled was arrested.

The housekeeper spread his hands and said with a strange look on his face: "Who would listen to a fourteen-year-old child?"

Well, age is Mu Tianwen’s weakness.

The butler continued, "The little prince is a little strange. He often says strange things. The master and I can't quite understand them. The eldest lady doesn't quite understand them either. But the little prince is very smart. We all think that he might be a little... a little unique."

Well, these are two completely different cultural systems. The little prince's way of thinking, speaking, and perspective on things are all things that Khaled and the others cannot understand, or are incompatible with.

Fortunately, in Saudi Arabia, an absolutely patriarchal country, when Khaled was arrested, Mu Tianwen, as the eldest son, could naturally take over his father's right to speak. As long as he was given a chance to speak and express his opinions, he could make decisions without the obstacle of the eldest lady.

Gao Yi said with emotion: "Big brother has a good son. Whether he can be saved this time depends on the ability of his son."

Yes, the negotiation between Mu Tianwen and Shaman is of utmost importance. If Mu Tianwen can really convince Shaman to meet for negotiations, then Gao Yi and the others will have a chance. If Shaman refuses to meet at all, Gao Yi and the others naturally will have no chance at all.

The eldest lady has left the table. She is going to arrange for the private jet to take off. This will take some time, so she will come forward.

Mu Tianwen also left with his mother. He must have something to say to his mother in private, something that was inconvenient for Gao Yi and the housekeeper to hear.

After waiting in the living room for about an hour, Mu Tianwen came out alone.

"Sir, I've been waiting for a long time."

Not knowing Gao Yi's name, Mu Tianwen just called him Mr. He sat down in front of Gao Yi again and said confidently, "I got Shaman's phone number. The private plane has already started preparations. If fast, it can be ready for takeoff in two hours. However, it can only wait in the hangar and cannot be pushed onto the runway. If it can get permission to take off, the plane can take off within half an hour."

Mu Tianwen was very efficient as he could accomplish all this in one hour.

Gao Yi nodded.

Mu Tianwen does look very childish, but he is very organized in his work. To use a not-so-appropriate line of poetry to describe him, he is a man of great learning and elegance.

He has mastered so many idioms at such a young age, and naturally he also knows the stories behind them. Mu Tianwen, who is knowledgeable, is definitely more mature than his peers when dealing with such things. The most important thing is that the education he received is most likely based on the model of a successor, and what he learned since elementary school is different.

But Khaled's father didn't realize it, or rather, Khaled simply couldn't understand what his son had learned.

After all, they are two different cultural systems, but Mu Tianwen can be compatible with others, while Khaled can only learn from others to be compatible with others.

Mu Tianwen took out a cell phone and said to Gao Yi in a serious tone, "So, should I call Shaman now?"

I don’t know whether Shaman is willing to meet me, how to meet me, or where to meet me.

Call early and prepare early.

"Then let's decide what to say. I think that a conspiracy is easy to detect, but an open conspiracy is unsolvable."

Mu Tianwen is smart and has learned a lot, but he is just a teenager after all. When it comes to handling specific things, he is definitely too immature. After all, his heart has not yet turned dark.

Hearing the words "open plots have no solution", Mu Tianwen's eyes lit up and said, "The Enfeoffment Order, two peaches to kill three warriors, besiege Wei to save Zhao... No, it's using the emperor to control the princes!"

Mu Tianwen stood up suddenly, and he said excitedly: "That's right, it's using the emperor hostage to control the princes!" Gao Yi's conspiracy didn't seem to mean this, but using the emperor hostage to control the princes was right, and that was really the plan.

"When I say overt conspiracy, I mean telling the truth."

After a slightly awkward explanation, Gao Yi whispered, "With the resources and strength that Shaman controls, if you tell a lie, you might be seen through. But tell the truth and talk about the difficulties your family has encountered. Also, tell me that you are willing to give up everything and go abroad to escape this vortex in order to save your father. You said that I am willing to escort you to the United States for money. What matters is my identity."

Mu Tianwen nodded seriously.

Gao Yi continued, "Shaman has never met me, but he knows I'm a killer, and his subordinate Abdullah has seen me. Even if I change my appearance, I have to be careful not to be recognized. If that happens, we will have no chance at all, and it may even kill your father. So you just need to tell Shaman that I will meet him."

Mu Tianwen frowned and said, "If I don't go, Shaman won't be able to see you."

Gao Yi thought for a moment, and finally had to whisper: "Yes, you may have to go."

Mu Tianwen said seriously: "I will go with you to meet Shaman, you can't bring a gun, you can't bring any weapons. I want to know that even if you meet Shaman, how can you hold the emperor hostage to control the princes?"

Gao Yi said seriously: "As long as we meet, I am invincible within five steps."

Mu Tianwen's expression was shocked, and then he whispered: "Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles?"

Gao Yi smiled and said, "I think it should be to save Zhao and wield the golden hammer, and Handan will be shocked first."

Fortunately, Gao Yi had also learned the text "Xia Ke Xing", and fortunately he was able to continue the conversation and did not embarrass himself.

Mu Tianwen was very excited. He waved his hand and said, "Let's do it!"

Picking up the phone, Mu Tianwen dialed a number directly.

Mu Tianwen looked very nervous, and Gao Yi was nervous too, but fortunately, Mu Tianwen got through the call quickly.

There was a look of confusion on his face, but Mu Tianwen's tone was calm with a hint of nervousness, which was in line with his current mentality.

Mu Tianwen spoke Arabic when he called, and Gao Yi really couldn't understand a word he said.

Mu Tianwen talked a lot for a long time. After the call lasted for ten minutes, Mu Tianwen finally hung up the phone. Then he grinned at Gao Yi and said, "It's done."

Gao Yi was surprised and delighted, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said I know the current situation and I don't want my wealth to be completely taken away by others after my father's death. The analysis of the situation is what we talked about before. Then I said I only have three people I can use now, the butler, you and another assassin. I will take you to see Prince Shaman, and then to see my father. After my father publicly declares his support for him, we will leave the country, but we need to negotiate how much is left for us. And he agreed!"

Gao Yi was really surprised and happy. He didn't expect that after Mu Tianwen showed up in person, he would be able to meet Shaman. The biggest hurdle of getting close to Shaman was overcome so easily.

"What time do you want to meet?"

"Sharman is not in Liad at night, so we have to wait for him to come back to meet him, but the meeting place is at the headquarters of the National Intelligence Agency..."

Speaking of the meeting place, Mu Tianwen's tone couldn't help but be a little low, because everything else was going smoothly, but this meeting place was extremely dangerous.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a den of dragons and tigers.

But Gao Yi really didn't care. The key point of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes was to hold the emperor hostage and then control the princes, not to hold the emperor hostage and then kill all the princes.

It didn't matter where Gao Yi met, whether in a restaurant or a conference room, as long as he could meet and be close enough to reach each other.

Gao Yi looked at his watch and said, "What time exactly?"

"I can't be sure of the exact time, but Shaman said he would be back at the Intelligence Bureau headquarters at ten o'clock, so the meeting must have been after ten."

The time is now past five in the afternoon.

This matter progressed very quickly, but Gao Yi had already prepared himself mentally. Haled could be executed at any time, and there was no way he could delay.

"I'll go make the arrangements. After that, I'll bring someone here and go with you to meet Shaman."

It is necessary to arrange for support and consider the possibility of forced retreat after the hostage operation fails. Therefore, Gao Yi cannot bring everyone to see Shaman. There is no need for that, and he cannot do it.

Now Gao Yi is thinking about who to take to see Shaman.

Mu Tianwen said in a slightly nervous voice: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Gao Yi was also nervous, but he showed full confidence and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. The plan will not fail."
