"You really don't need help? I think you are quite short of manpower right now." Qi Dan looked at He Nan meaningfully. In fact, the purpose of coming here was to see what He Nan was doing so close to the capital. It turned out that He Nan was almost turned into a ghost by someone else.
"You are very free..." He Nan crossed his arms to defend himself against Qi Dan's provocation: "Last time at King Yama's Tempered Stone Villa, you took advantage of us - we are not as good as working hard here. You've been lying around at home all day long and you're full, and now you want to come?"
"Although Zhou Bizhi passed the message for me, it was actually just along the way - King Yama was Fu Zizhan's man. Since he had died before Zhou Bizhi arrived, Manager Zhou would have to send Fengshan Er The master will take him back for business. As for the current leader of Fengshan, Fang Henshao, although he has expressed to Chi Zebao his willingness to follow me, how sincere he is and how much role he can play in the future still needs to be considered. " Qi Shan shook his head, denying He Nan's behavior of labeling him, and he was suspected of being a good guy for getting an advantage: "It's you... forget about the bandits in the Xiaoshan area, and now the Ten Halls of Hell have basically been subsumed by you. Are you eight? I still want to ask you... What do you want to do? Do you also want to imitate King Yama and become the head of the Ten Palaces of Yama?"
This question is extremely sensitive, but He Nan had already planned how to answer it when he saw Qi Dan, so he replied with a playful smile: "How can you? Don't worry about Fang Henshao, can I trust this?" Human? Are you really afraid that I will lead this group of stragglers to block your door? It’s just to fill up the numbers to support the scene... If one day you really force me to quit, at least I have a way out, right? "
"It's up to you." Qi Dan shrugged. Anyway, the situation is still under his control. What He Nan is doing now is also good for him, so there is no need to deliberately hinder him.
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you..." He Nan rarely used such humble words, which almost made the fifth prince wonder whether the guy in front of him had his brain broken by Wei Kui: "What do you think about Yama?" How much does Wang know? Has Fang Henshao reported some... secrets to you? "
"What do you mean?" Fang Henshao's voluntary surrender will naturally be accompanied by a surrender certificate, but Qi Dan also wants to hear whether there is any deviation from what He Nan knows. Double verification can also allow him to further confirm that Fang Henshao sincerity.
"Rather than saying that King Yama is Fu Zizhan's man, it is better to say that Fang Henshao is the confidant who manages Fengshan's business for Fu Zizhan, so I also want to confirm whether what I will say next will be related to Tianbianwei. ...In the underground chamber of the Tempered Stone Villa built by King Yama, there are some...monsters." Then, He Nan selectively described some of the characteristics of the monsters and the situation at the time to the fifth prince. .
"I've heard about this... but the parts I told you just fit together!" Qi Dan smiled. It seems that Fang Henshao really can't completely delegate power to him, because he provided Qi Dan with The most important part is not the information about the monster itself, but the source of the monster - two different information providers happened to spell out a complete content, and even Qi Dan couldn't help but feel that he was really lucky.
Through the exchange, He Nan finally got a definite answer to his guess from Qi Dan, which was naturally a harvest.
Of course, Qi Dan had been here to say goodbye to He Nan from the beginning. Seeing that the rhythm of the conversation was gradually shifting towards personal attacks and other directions, he finally rejected the wanton development of this rhythm and tried to regain control of the topic. , that is, a good farewell: "By the way, I have to inform you about something..."
"The wedding date has been set, it will be in Dongyue." With the silver bottle broken and the cavalry protruding, Qi Dan suddenly defeated He Nan's army - at least that's what he thought.
Perhaps our fifth prince really values the promise, so in addition to being relaxed, he also feels guilty.
"Well..." It seemed that He Nan was not very surprised by the explosive news. He just put his hands on his hips and shook his head: "Then it seems that you have no reason to stay. You'd better go home early and get ready. I wish you a happy marriage. What a pleasure!”
If He Nan has any shortcomings, it is that he starts interrupting when others say things he doesn't like to hear. To analyze the essence through the phenomenon, it is his habitual avoidance when faced with problems that he cannot solve anyway. If you have to say that he avoids solving problems, it is more like avoiding answering questions.
Although Qi Dan thought he understood He Nan quite well, He Nan always showed a tough side to him. Even if his attitude was deferential and his tone was flattering, it was actually He Nan who was trying to push his limits in a different way. But now, suddenly Seeing Madman He being so withdrawn, it was Qi Dan who didn't know how to react for a moment.
"So... I'll prepare a table for you alone?" After hesitating for a long time, Qi Dan finally said this. Moreover, he was not provoking or asking questions, he just didn't know what to say to ease the embarrassment. The atmosphere was gone.
"It's better to avoid it, I don't want to be too ostentatious." He Nan curled his lips: "I am living in a crack now. If your third brother hadn't caused such a big trouble, do you think my master would have let you and me go? Don’t you care about Tianbianwei’s hook-ups?”
This is indeed on point. Although Li Zhanchun maintained a tacit attitude towards He Nan's private contact with Qi Dan, and the relationship between Shanhe Mansion and Tianbian Guards was not harmonious, after all, both of them had a close relationship with Prince Qi Ji. With all the connections, He Nan's double insurance will turn into double wanted orders one day, and then he will really start his backup escape plan.
"So you don't have to make this matter clear to me. We all know in our hearts that your engagement contract will be completed sooner or later. It's just a matter of time - but for both you and her It's just better if it's a little later." He Nan sat cross-legged on the chair with an expression of "walking slowly without seeing him off".
"Haha... Are you sure it would be better for 'her' to be later?" Qi Dan squinted his eyes and tried to find a flaw in He Nan's face.
"Of course, do you really think that I will take your bullshit threats to heart?" He Nan said more and more passionately, and even said wildly: "I just don't want Zhao'er to suffer unreasonable disasters."
"What disaster will happen to her?" Qi Dan was also distracted by He Nan.
He Nan glanced at the other party, and finally said: "As for my senior brother, although he got married very young, he still hasn't given your father a grandson... Think about it again, your second brother was the first to get married. One of them, right? There have been two Princesses of Chu, so why don’t they have a son? "
After saying this, Qi Dan understood, and after he understood it, in addition to the disgust for the nominal mother in his heart being rekindled, he was also deeply shocked by He Nan's long-term plan - although He Nan The current situation also seems to be impatient and harsh, but this reason, which is not particularly far-fetched, still convinced Qi Dan that he was willing to believe that this guy could see such a future as early as two years ago.
Because the prince has no heirs, once Qi Dan and Zhu Zhaoer get married early and give birth to Lin'er, it will bring danger to both the child and his mother. This is indeed the style of Queen Guo, and the two Princesses of Chu may have The premature death or abolition is exactly the same as what happened to Qi Zhi's biological mother, Concubine Pu. Qi Jun did have a son, and King Yan Qi Hua's first wife is now pregnant, but after all, this is the biological grandson of Queen Guo, and she will never He can be ruthless.
"I said so, you should understand, right?" He Nan saw that Qi Dan had the word "Enlightenment" written all over his face, and started to pose again: "So what are you going to do next, you know - if you say that you three My depression lies with your eldest brother, so the burden in your second brother’s chest... should now turn into a mountain."
…………
After sending off all the orders, He Nan immediately took the people back to reunite with the large army - since Kou Ying left him a message that he was willing to exchange prisoners, he would definitely inform him of the specific time and place again. If he could go, If we do it quickly, we may be able to bring about quite a few favorable variables to this matter.
The escape of Thanatos and his sporadic men was indeed a hidden danger, so He Nan also asked people to negotiate with the Yamen, hoping that they could use more force during the search. The current situation is not afraid of them raiding the Taiping Escort Bureau or With such a conspicuous target as the Yu family's mansion, they are worried that these people will jump over the wall and harass the Ruyi Store branches scattered in the county.
And just when He Nan rushed back to Qixian without stopping, a letter was delivered to Master Chen. In addition to the time and place that should have been agreed upon, the letter also deliberately specified the number of people participating in the transaction, as well as the number of people involved in the transaction. They emphasized the rule not to notify the Yamen - the blockade of the city will not be lifted until early tomorrow morning, so this rule is also to prevent others from making dumplings.
"So why don't they wait until the ban is lifted before asking us for exchange? Can't we arrange the location outside the city? If we trade there, we won't be able to catch them all, right?" Shen Zai looked at the other party. After the conditions, doubts were first raised.
"No, on the contrary." Mr. Chen has quite a say in this regard. After all, he has also been a prisoner, no - he has also been a staff officer: "The key point lies in the sequence of the development of events. I will give an example. ——Excluding all cases of non-compliance with the contract, assuming that they invite us to conduct a transaction in an open area outside the city three days after the city defense is lifted, then in order to fulfill this transaction, they must transfer Yu within the agreed time. Uncle and Xiaoyu had to take them out of the city, and after receiving their notice, we could stay at the city gate and keep an eye on them in the past few days, so they restricted their movements by agreeing on a time in advance. As for three or five days It doesn't really matter whether it's ten days or not. But on the other hand, if they have exchanged prisoners before the city's defenses are lifted, then it's up to them to decide when to leave. They may take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the people who are leaving the city after the city's defenses are lifted. , maybe they will leave in batches through different exits, or maybe they will simply hide in the city and wait for us to relax our vigilance before making plans... If they do this, the initiative will still be in their hands."
"I understand when you put it like that. To put it bluntly, it's 'safe for safety'!" Shen Fang nodded, and then used a vocabulary commonly used by gamblers like him to abbreviate Mr. Chen's words, Received the approval of Mr. Chen. However, he quickly reacted to a possibility that could refute Master Chen's idea: "Then if they did not convey their intention to exchange to us immediately, but waited until the ban was lifted to quietly take Uncle Yu and Xiao Yu out of the city - if If we can really achieve this step, then the people who stay in the city or the minions who come back to the city will tell us to trade outside? Wouldn't it be more reliable than the situation you analyzed? "
"That's why I affirm your statement of 'leaving the bag safe'." Mr. Chen immediately said: "They not only want to reassure themselves, they also want us to take off our guard... And I can guarantee that we will also No matter how good the other party is, they will not fulfill this verbal agreement as promised."
