In a job like spying, the most important thing is efficiency and confidentiality, especially for a double agent like Lu Hanjiang.
When it comes to cheating people, Lu Hanjiang will definitely treat everyone equally. He will never treat you specially because of your status. No matter you are a master of martial arts or a powerful family, as long as he makes up his mind, he will not cheat anyone. Let it go.
It would be too boring for the seven contenders to fight for the throne on their own. Lu Hanjiang planned to add some spice to the fight, such as the two parties secretly joining forces... Well, at least that's how they thought it should be.
In line with the principle of efficiency first, Lu Hanjiang immediately sent a letter to Kong Wen in the name of Xiaoyao Sect Qiao Cunsi after Yao Yue Lou left, asking him to come out to meet him.
At the same time, he also sent letters to all the thousands of households assigned abroad, asking them to focus on one person, Yan Fengyun, the hero of the Beggar Clan.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan brought not only the surprise of growth, but also Xue Luosha, a person who appeared out of nowhere. Gu Zijin would be related to Shangluo, which was something he did not expect.
In addition, when he was in Southern Shaolin, Yan Fengyun's incomprehensible behavior, if there is nothing fishy in it, even a three-year-old child would not believe it.
Speaking of Kong Wen, he didn't know whether he was frightened by himself or by what he saw. This cheap senior brother replied very quickly and even asked Lu Hanjiang to come out and see him tonight.
Of course, this was rejected righteously by him, not because Lu Han didn't want to go out after Jiang Xushi, but because he wanted to hang on to him so that he could gain more advantages in negotiations.
Playing the role of the messenger of His Highness Yu's faction so responsibly, it would be really chilling if the Crown Princess didn't thank her profusely the next time she meets her.
The night has finally passed. Except for Lu Hanjiang himself, everyone involved in the Yaoyue Tower this time was tossing and turning and had difficulty falling asleep, especially Kong Wen and His Majesty the Seventh Prince.
On the one hand, His Highness the Seventh Prince was really angry that someone had ruined a good time, and he was also worried that the spy was targeting him. But at the same time, he was also glad that he had discovered the big secret of the Crown Princess.
Kong Wen had a hard time saying that, generally speaking, the degree of confidentiality of a matter and the number of people with knowledge of it are often inversely proportional. After the matter is completed, outsiders are the first to make the first move.
No matter how you say it, His Highness the Seventh Highness is a member of the family, he is just an outsider. If that happens one day, let alone being a high-ranking official with a generous salary, there is a problem whether even a small life can be saved.
The only way to break the situation is to let His Highness Seventh ascend to Dabao and try his best to save his life. Even if he takes a step back, His Highness Yu cannot ascend to the throne, otherwise the Crown Princess will not be able to spare him sooner or later.
Therefore, tomorrow's negotiation is extremely important. As a member of the Xiaoyao Sect and a person trusted by His Highness Seventh Prince, he will naturally represent this party to contact Junior Brother "Qiao Cusi".
Whether he can leave a bright future for himself seems to have to bet on this junior brother whom he has only met once.
...
The night passed, and after having breakfast, Lu Hanjiang felt refreshed, put on his casual clothes and went out.
Although it was not Xiu Mu today, no one dared to ask about his itinerary. I asked him, I have a reason to ask, are you teaching me how to do things?
In fact, Lu Hanjiang was quite resistant to meeting a group of Xiaoyao sect disciples. After all, he went to meet Xi Qiu in order to obtain the Xiao Wu Xiang Gong. Unfortunately, he did not have such a convenient skill as the Disguise Technique at the time, so he had to use Show your true face.
As a person who is addicted to assuming other people's identities, he always has a natural dislike for outsiders who know his true identity.
But all this was well hidden under his false smile.
"Senior Brother Kong."
As a good junior fellow student, Lu Hanjiang would naturally not invite Kong Wen to a place like Yaoyue Tower that made him feel uncomfortable. This time, the two of them chose a little-known teahouse.
There is nothing special about this place, except that this street, including this street, is full of hidden sentries and plainclothes guards.
"Junior Brother Qiao."
After greeting each other, Kong Wen said impatiently as soon as he took his seat: "Junior brother, what happened last night..."
"well."
Lu Hanjiang sighed first, and then said with a hint of reproach: "I have a general understanding of what happened last night. Senior brother, you are too impatient. Even if His Highness is in danger, you should not be so impulsive."
Kong Wen said with shame: "Junior brother is blaming me. This is indeed my brother's fault. I also ask my brother to help me and save my brother."
"Senior brother, what you said is serious. With our status, there is no need to say such harsh words. It is up to me, senior brother, to think about this matter."
Lu Hanjiang took over the conversation very righteously, pretending to be mysterious: "It is not difficult for the Crown Princess to handle this matter. The junior brother must be able to speak in front of her. After all, that face... well, that man It was my junior brother who made the connection and introduced me to His Highness."
"Junior brother is so capable."
Kong Wen gave a thumbs up on his face, and cursed unceremoniously in his heart, "How dare you, a bastard who pimps around for nothing, is the one who harmed me!"
"Of course His Highness doesn't want this matter to be leaked out. Everyone's faces look bad, so--"
Lu Hanjiang gave it a try, but first asked about Kong Wen: "I wonder what His Highness's plans were after he learned about this matter yesterday?"
"This..." Kong Wen stopped talking and sighed, "Well, yesterday, His Highness went to meet a confidante. It happened that he found out about it because of his reckless senior brother. Family scandals should not be made public, but After all, the First Prince is his eldest brother, and His Highness is also very embarrassed."
Lu Hanjiang understood clearly that His Highness the Seventh Prince meant more money, while Kong Wen just wanted to save his life.
So he said: "His Majesty the Seventh Prince and the girl in red, if it can happen, it will be a good story."
"How does junior brother know about His Highness's affairs?" Kong Wen asked in surprise. This matter was so secret that even among His Highness's closest confidants, he was the only one who knew about it.
"Senior brother, please don't forget that now, junior brother is on duty in the Jinyi Guards. This route is naturally wider, and it is normal to inquire about His Highness's affairs." Lu Hanjiang said calmly.
Kong Wen was horrified. He quickly stood up and said, "Could it be that the Jin Yiwei acted in inviting Yue Lou yesterday?"
"That's not true."
Lu Hanjiang shook his head and explained: "The Jin Yiwei found out about this from the girl in red. After all, your Highness didn't know how to cover it up when he was trying to find people in the Jiaofang Division."
"That's good, that's good."
Kong Wen breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on his seat, and said, "But speaking of the Jinyi Guards, junior brother, do you have a way to find a way in it?"
"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang understood and asked with a smile, "Could it be that what His Highness is asking for has something to do with the Jin Yiwei?"
"Well, it seems that it is also due to His Highness's temperament."
Kong Wen helplessly told Lu Hanjiang everything Gu Zijin asked for yesterday, and then said: "Although His Highness is willing, he is powerless. After all, it is really embarrassing to snatch food from the mouth of a Jin Yiwei tiger."
Lu Hanjiang pondered for a long time and said, "There is no room for change in this matter."
Kong Wen raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Junior brother, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Hanjiang said quite proudly: "Of course I, a mere Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, can't do much, but Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is extraordinary. And don't forget that Her Royal Highness Yu was once the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. He was in the Jinyiwei." The influence is not low.”
"It's so good, it's so good."
Kong Wen said with a smile: "If the Crown Princess is willing to help, then His Highness the Seventh Prince will definitely reciprocate the favor."
"What about yesterday?"
"What happened yesterday? I can't wait to invite Yue Lou to have a drink and listen to music."
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Hanjiang said: "After all, we are all a family, what is there to talk about?"
"Junior brother said that His Highness also admires the Crown Princess very much and should get closer to her more in the future."
Kong Wen smiled kindly. As for his heart, he was already happy. His Highness Yu hurriedly went to Jin Yiwei to embarrass him. Whether this matter succeeded or not, he was sure to make a profit. It was a pity that Junior Brother Qiao had a very lively mind. , but it was with the wrong person.
Lu Hanjiang also responded with a kind smile. The value of Kong Wen and His Highness Seventh Prince was not high, but with Shangluo's words, they should be worthy enough. I just don't know if the Crown Princess will place a bet.
