Chapter 483: Master Gao meets General Lu. What is Gao’s purpose?

It was precisely because he didn't understand that Jiang Lu was somewhat confused. In Jiang Lu's expectation, even if Gao finally agreed to meet him, the biggest possibility was that Gao wanted to meet him first, and then win him over, bribe him, or even turn him over. This was more likely to be the first thing the other party would do.

But the other party did not do so. Instead, he asked him to go see Gongzi Gao first, without any hesitation. This made Jiang Lu a little unsure. Moreover, the treatment at the post station was excellent. Not only were there maids to serve him, but also the food, drink, defecation and urination were all excellent. Jiang Lu even had to admit that many things were things he had never seen in the palace before.

However, Jiang Lu did not relax easily, but waited nervously for the arrival of the next day. Early the next morning, someone came to the gate of the post station to wait for Jiang Lu, and sent him directly to the gate of the Qin Palace.

"Greetings, sir!" As General Lu stepped down from the carriage, the soldiers at the gate of the Qin Palace immediately bowed and saluted. This made General Lu not only feel a little bit unbelievable, but even a little panicked. It was a situation that was completely different from what he had imagined. The cold reception he had expected did not happen.

It can be said that now, instead of being treated coldly, they are shown great enthusiasm and respect. If you want to win people's hearts, there is no need to use this method.

Not long after, Lu entered the main hall with brisk steps. At this time, Gongzi Gao had already sat in the center of the main hall, quietly waiting for his arrival. When he saw Lu walking into the hall, Gongzi Gao quickly stood up and greeted him.

I saw General Lu quicken his pace and walk forward, bowing respectfully and saying: "General Lu, I pay my respects to the King of Qin!"

Gongzi Gao smiled and waved his hand, saying: "There is no need to be so polite between brothers like you and me. Please stand up quickly!" After that, he personally reached out and helped General Lu up.

Seeing Jiang Lu appear in front of him, Gongzi Gao couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement in his eyes. Then he said, "Okay, everyone please leave first. Brother, please follow me to the back hall to have a chat." After everyone agreed in unison, they left the main hall one after another.

Although he was very confused as to why he had not seen Gao Yao, after hearing what Master Gao said, Jiang Lu could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and responded softly, "Yes." Then, he silently followed Master Gao's figure towards the back hall.

After arriving at the back hall, Gongzi Gao waved his hand without hesitation, signaling all the attendants around him to leave. In a blink of an eye, only Jiang Lu and Gongzi Gao were left in the back hall. This sudden move made Jiang Lu, who was already confused, even more confused.

After all, until this moment, he still had not seen Gao Yao, and the young master Gao in front of him was completely different from the puppet-like young master Gao in his imagination.

"Brother, you shouldn't have come!" As the attendants filed out one after another, only Young Master Gao and General Lu were left in the huge palace. He sighed heavily, his face full of worry.

This morning, Gao Yao sent someone to inform Gongzi Gao that Lu would be visiting soon. The brothers were already quite familiar with each other, but such an unexpected visit really caught Gongzi Gao off guard, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Although he was a little flustered, Gongzi Gao still managed to stay calm and summoned General Lu according to the usual etiquette. After the two met, they first exchanged greetings and addressed each other as brothers, which seemed to be cordial and harmonious.

General Lu quickly asked, "King Qin, where is the Prime Minister? Why can't I see Prime Minister Gao Yao?"

Hearing this question, Gongzi Gao hesitated for a moment, then replied: "I received news this morning that the Prime Minister is ill and has to stay at home to recuperate. But this is not a big deal, and it's a good opportunity for you and me to have a good chat."

Gongzi Gao was also somewhat puzzled by this. He had originally thought that Gao Yao would definitely show up in person, but now that Gao Yao had not shown up, this gave him the opportunity to have a few heart-to-heart talks.

Jiang Lu was obviously not satisfied with this explanation. He frowned slightly, a trace of doubt and confusion flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "This..."

"Alas, brother, our situation is extremely difficult now. As the saying goes, we are at the mercy of others. Facing such a situation, I feel helpless! Brother, you have undoubtedly put yourself in extreme danger by taking the risk to come and visit me this time."

"That Gao wants to monopolize power. Everyone in the entire southern border obeys his orders and respects him. Although I have the title of King of Qin, it is actually just an empty title. I don't have any real power at all." At this point, Gongzi Gao couldn't help but sigh, his heart full of aggrieved and helpless.

In fact, Gongzi Gao was not a stupid person. He had a clear view of the current situation. He knew that when Gao Yao no longer needed to rely on the King of Qin, it would be the day when his family would be in danger. What made him desperate was that he could not find any chance to resist.

Just when Master Gao was looking worried and sad, he suddenly heard General Lu say something shocking.

"King Qin, I came here to resolve this matter. After many efforts, I have successfully persuaded General Wang Ben. We plan to lead the remaining members of the royal family and all the troops stationed in Han to surrender to Gaoyao!"

"What? Go to Gaoyao?" Gongzi Gao's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of astonishment. He never expected that Jiang Lu would make such a decision. For a moment, he felt his mind go blank, and he could not understand the deep meaning behind Jiang Lu's move.

"King Qin, surrendering to Gao Yao is just a temporary expedient. The land of Hanzhong today is not enough to support an army of 50,000! It won't be long before they run out of food. Since Gao Yao wants to use your status to achieve his own goals, he must accept everything that has happened before. Otherwise, wouldn't his previous efforts to push you to the throne be in vain? In this case, how will people in the world judge him, Gao Yao?"

Hearing this, Gongzi Gao could not help but nod slightly, indicating his approval of these words, but deep down in his heart he still couldn't help but worry about the various situations that might arise in the future: "Well... this does make some sense, but..."
