The locksmith pointed to the center of the lake from a distance and asked: "Zhiduoxing, can you see what is in the middle of the lake?" I smiled and said: "An aircraft that looks quite aesthetic, aerodynamic, but blends into the environment. ." The locksmith was stunned, patted his thigh and said, "I'm going to leave. I originally planned to install a fork and tell you that the water is very deep and you can't see the hidden things. But I forgot that you are no longer a normal person." I He smiled and said, "I have been trying not to offend you. I thought you would give me a surprise and introduce me to that awesome and shiny aircraft. I didn't expect that you were here to remind me about safety. Locksmith, you should just tell me." I don’t have a glass heart.”
The locksmith raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, Zhiduoxing, do you trust me?" I glanced at the locksmith and said with a smile: "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be too lazy to go out with you to enjoy the scenery. Look at the beauty on my phone. Isn’t Yan Meizi more chic?” The locksmith sighed and said, “Then, let’s talk about that aircraft later. What I’m going to say later is Zhi Duo Xing, I hope you can listen.”
I nodded and said with a smile: "Tell me, why haven't we seen each other for a few years? I feel so unfamiliar." The locksmith smiled bitterly and said: "In the past few years since you were away, I have had more contact with the higher-ups, which refreshed my outlook on things, so there are some My thoughts are different." I nodded and joked: "People who are high officials are different." The locksmith continued to smile bitterly and said: "Since ancient times, human life has not been worth mentioning in the face of imperial power. A few years ago, you and The cook left together. Who he was going to see and what he planned to do. The cook informed the emperor." I frowned and asked, "Since the emperor knows, why do you allow rumors to spread?" The locksmith sighed, Pointing at the crowd in the distance, he said: "If that group of people are willing to believe lies, and you don't have any evidence to overturn that lie, what should you do? Kill them? Don't speak to them?" I shook my head and smiled bitterly. Said: "We ordinary people seem to often live in lies." The locksmith nodded and said: "As I said before, human life is not worth mentioning in front of the imperial power. Therefore, you will never come back, and the cook doesn't know either. Whereabouts. Do you know what the emperor did?"
I became interested and asked: "What happened? What did the emperor do for the cook?" The locksmith sighed again and said: "The emperor originally suspected that you were detained or under house arrest. But through many methods After investigation, the other party did not offend you. On the contrary, you seemed to have reached an agreement that even the emperor was not aware of. This also made the emperor very confused. What conditions did you offer the other party that he could not refuse? It controls national affairs. However, the person who reached an agreement with you was usurped in advance by his designated successor, and all his cronies were eliminated. Therefore, everything became a secret. The successor who usurped the throne later also knew that you had The terms of the agreement can shake his predecessor's policy towards the Song Dynasty. So he was very curious and came to visit the Song Dynasty specifically, hoping to know the specific contents. If it is beneficial, he hopes to continue to maintain the agreement. "
I took a deep breath and said: "So, his visit made the cook fall into the rumor of betraying his country and seeking glory, and he couldn't refute the rumor, right?" The locksmith nodded and sighed: "This rumor is obvious. It was spread by high-level insiders. Even if the emperor was very annoyed, he could not clarify this rumor because he could only make it darker." I asked: "Locksmith, do you mean that the emperor has planned to give up being a cook, or? , are you prepared?" The locksmith nodded and asked: "During the Three Kingdoms period, after Cao Chong died, did Cao Cao take action against Cao Pi?" I took a swig of the drink in my hand and said, "Yes, since ancient times, for the sake of imperial power, , fratricide is not uncommon at all. The emperor may have had this realization on the day he ascended the throne. So, you want to advise me not to have too close contact with the cook, lest I be treated as a confidant and be eliminated, right? ?”
The locksmith nodded, looked into the distance again, and said: "Zhi Duoxing, in fact, I have always felt that you and I are very compatible. To put it simply, I found you pleasing to the eye the first time I saw you. Therefore, from a personal point of view, I I don’t want your personal friendship with the cook to become a tool for political struggle. After all, the identity of the cook is really not something that ordinary people should aspire to, unless the cook can hide this identity."
I nodded. . The locksmith continued: "It is impossible for the emperor to give up the Song Dynasty for the missing brother cook, so he must have chosen another successor. But in the past few years, the emperor has done what the cook wanted to do. Look, either the emperor is paving the way for the next heir and gilding him, or he can't let go of the cook brother and gives up his wish for the cook. Or, it's both, or he has other plans."
Hearing this, I asked: "Locksmith, is there another possibility? The emperor is creating the illusion that the cook is hiding behind the scenes, and then let the cook come out after he comes back. Combining the possibilities you mentioned, we can attack or attack." You can retreat and defend." The locksmith nodded and said with a smile: "Zhiduo Xing is Zhiduo Xing. You are right, but no matter what the situation is, the new heir will become more mature." After saying this, the locksmith stared at me again.
I felt very uncomfortable being stared at, so I said, "Don't do this, just tell the truth." The locksmith smiled and said, "If the cook doesn't come back, maybe the new successor will ignore you, or even ignore you because of you." But if the cook comes back and plans to compete for the right to be the heir, and comes to you for help, then it will be difficult for you not to become a victim of the power struggle."
I took a deep breath and asked: "Locksmith, if it's true as you said, the cook will come back tomorrow and wants me to do dirty things for him, I really can't decide whether to help him or not. Sure enough, a loser shouldn't Being involved with Gao Fushuai is also the reason why I was reluctant to join the folklore department at the beginning. But now that I have an extra personal relationship with the cook, it is different."
The locksmith smiled and said, "Okay, Zhiduoxing, we don't need to worry too much. Let's go to the hotel and get a room, and I'll talk to you about the black technology we brought back from foreign lands." I glanced at the locksmith, He shouted loudly: "I don't want to be gay." The locksmith was stunned and shouted loudly: "That must be a double bed room."
