Human life is priceless in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of others, it is divided into three types: "one's own life", "one's own life" and "other people's life", and they are treated obviously differently.
Shen Hao is the latter type of person and likes to treat human life differently. For example, he never takes seriously the people who die under his sword or orders, because he feels that those people have a way to die and deserve to be killed. And Lingxiao Palace is the same as him.
Except for the people in the Yueying Tower, Lingxiao Palace itself regards them as "others" from the bottom of their hearts, and they have never been regarded as "one of their own".
For this reason, the cooperation between Shen Hao and Lingxiao Palace went smoothly overall.
Of course, there is still necessary bargaining. But it was Shen Hao who always took the initiative.
Lingxiao Palace didn't know exactly how many secrets of "Xuan Mei Shu" there were, but they knew that getting them all would require paying a huge price, and Lingxiao Palace was mentally prepared for this. Fortunately, those who actually paid were the heads of those in the Yueying Tower, so there was no need for Lingxiao Palace to give Shen Hao substantial benefits for the time being.
The only thing that made Zhou Baixu and Li Ce dissatisfied and a little angry was that Shen Hao had set the key points of "Xuan Mei Shu" as a stepped value. In other words, the later the key points of "Xuan Mei Shu" were, the higher the price was. If Xiaogong wants to get it, the price will be higher.
As for killing Shen Hao, or tying up Shen Hao to ask for the whereabouts of "Xuan Mei Shu", Lingxiao Palace has not considered this method. But after weighing it, I felt that the gains outweighed the losses and I had to give up.
joke! To blatantly touch a fourth-grade member of the Xuanqing Guard was an act of creating a deadly feud with the old Jing Dynasty. Unless Lingxiao Palace was prepared to act like a rat like those evil monks, such a thing could not be done.
Of course, Shen Hao has not said the specific price yet, but he also promised that each transaction price will not be much higher than the previous one, and above five will be the limit.
Because they didn't know how many secrets of "Xuanmei Art" would follow, Lingxiao Palace finally reluctantly accepted Shen Hao's proposal even though it was unwilling to do so.
Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand. Here Shen Hao took out two copies of the "Xuanmei Art" key at once, and accordingly, Zhou Baixu took out a copper bar from the storage bag in exchange.
The copper bars are of a unique style, smaller but thicker than those common in the Jingjiu Dynasty.
After unfolding it, Shen Hao read some of the previous contents, and then nodded, without actually verifying it bit by bit. He had the confidence and means not to worry about Lingxiao Palace playing tricks on him. As long as Lingxiao Palace still wants the secret key, it won't be so stupid as to commit fraud in the first exchange.
"In that case, I'll say goodbye! Please keep this Thousand Mile Notes, Mr. Shen. Please keep in touch in the future."
"Then it would be better for Shen to be respectful than to obey."
Seeing Shen Hao collect the copper bars and Qianli Note, Zhou Baixu and Li Ce both had smiles on their faces. After that, he said hello and spread his body skills, disappearing into the woods in a moment.
The first thing Shen Hao did after returning to the Tongyamen was to rub the contents of the newly obtained copper strip, and then handed the rubbing copy to Wang Jian, asking Heishui to verify all the information on it as soon as possible. once, but don’t alert the enemy.
Are the people in Yueying Tower a "cancer" to Jing Jiu Dynasty? In fact, it’s not really what I want to say.
At best, Yueying Tower only took advantage of Yang Shu when the imperial power changed. At that time, they never expected that the youngest of the seven princes would counterattack and become the new emperor, let alone this. One wrong chess move cost him nothing but the intelligence network he had established over the years in the Jing Dynasty. It was also recorded by the emperor. It would take a long, long time for him to return to his heyday again.
Therefore, the notoriety on the head of Yueying Tower is not mainly aimed at Jing Jiu Dynasty, but at Emperor Yang Shu.
Shen Hao had met the emperor several times, especially before he ascended the throne. He was deeply impressed by the emperor and knew that he was not a generous person. What happened to Yueying Tower later and the recent information sent back by the Xu sisters all proved this.
It's not like "revenge is inevitable", but it is definitely "nothing can be rubbed in one's eyes".
Others giving Yin jade to Shen Hao was flattering him, so Shen Hao's current verbal cooperation with Lingxiao Palace was also flattering the emperor and flattering him.
After Blackwater digests the information from Lingxiao Palace, it will be the time for Black Flag Battalion to cut through the mess quickly and present a gift to the emperor first. Shen Hao had to carefully consider the specific time and communicate with the commanding officer in advance.
At that time, the long-term results include the steady advancement of the evil-killing plan, and the near-term goal is to dig deep and eliminate the remnants of the Yueying Tower. After showing the two results, Shen Hao felt that even the most critical eyes must recognize his and Black Flag Camp's achievements. In disguise, he could have a higher status in front of the Xuanqing Guards and even the emperor.
This is the situation Shen Hao has planned for himself. Whether he can achieve what he wants remains to be seen.
After getting off work, Shen Hao took the time to visit Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan at the Black Flag Camp.
He had no choice but to go as soon as he got back or consider that there would definitely be a lot of private things to say when the person reunited, and they might even applaud each other when the relationship was intense, so it would not be appropriate for him to hang out in front of the person. So I left most of the day out for Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan to reminisce about the past, presumably their emotions would have stabilized after that.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the single-family residence prepared for Nie Yun, he was stuffed with dog food.
I saw Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan holding hands. You feed me a fruit and I will feed you a fruit. They didn't shy away when they saw Shen Hao coming in.
"..." Shen Hao, whose mouth was blocked by the invisible dog food, didn't know how to speak for a moment, and even hesitated whether he should exit first.
"Brother Shen, you are here!"
Nie Yun's warm greeting made Shen Hao, who was about to push out the door, hold his ground, cupped his hands and said, "You're not disturbing Brother Nie and Sister-in-law, are you?"
"Hahaha, how could it be! Come in and have a cup of tea!"
Tea? Shen Hao was suspicious. Nie Yun always liked to entertain guests with wine. He would drink it whenever he was happy no matter the time. Even if he was injured now, he would drink fruit wine instead. When did he drink tea?
Subconsciously glancing at Zhao Zhiyuan who was serving tea and pouring water, Shen Hao secretly thought, "I see." It seems that even Nie Yun, who is known as one of the Jingxi Double Eagles, sometimes gives in.
Probably seeing the suppressed smile on Shen Hao's face, Nie Yun was very free and easy, saying: "Isn't this an injury? Wine is harmful to the body. It is not advisable to drink too much. It is better to drink tea. Drink tea! Of course, this is you My sister-in-law is in charge, so I have no choice but to wrong you, brother. Hahahaha."
This is Nie Yun. For anyone else, being controlled by a woman is not a face-saving thing, but Nie Yun doesn't care. He feels that Zhao Zhiyuan's care and cherishes it, and will not consider it a burden at all.
Zhao Zhiyuan smiled sweetly, patted Nie Yun gently, and then gave Shen Hao a big gift: "Zhao Zhiyuan, thank you Master Shen for your kindness! I will never forget it!"
