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 deceiving 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 deceive 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 leaving Yao Yuelou, 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 meant that even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.
Speaking of Kong Wen, I don't know if 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 keep him hanging so that he could gain more advantages in negotiations.
For playing the role of the messenger of His Highness Yu's faction so responsibly, it would be really chilling if the Crown Princess did not thank her profusely next time she meets her.
Tonight has finally passed. Except for Lu Hanjiang himself, everyone involved in the Yaoyue Building this time was tossing and turning and had difficulty falling asleep, especially Kong Wen and His Highness Seventh Prince.
On the one hand, His Highness the Seventh Prince was indeed angry that someone had ruined a good time, and was also worried that the target of the spy was himself, but at the same time, he was also glad to have discovered the Crown Princess's big secret.
Kong Wen had a hard time saying that, generally speaking, the degree of confidentiality of a matter is often inversely proportional to the number of people who know about it. After the matter is completed, it is always the outsiders who make the first move.
No matter how you say it, His Highness the Seventh Prince is a member of the family, he is just an outsider. If one day comes, let alone being a high-ranking official and receiving a generous salary, there will be 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, he will naturally represent this party to contact Junior Brother "Qiao Cunsi".
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 today is not Xiu Mu, no one dares to ask about his itinerary. 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 Small Wuxiang Kung Fu. Unfortunately, he did not have such a convenient skill as the Disguise Technique at the time, so he had no choice but 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 first sighed, and then said with a hint of reproach: "I have roughly understood 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: "What I'm reproaching is that this is indeed my fault. Please 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: "This matter is not difficult for the Crown Princess to handle. Junior brother must be able to speak in front of her. After all, that face... ahem, that man
It was my junior brother who made the connection and introduced me to His Highness."
"Junior brother is very 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 asked Kong Wen first: "I wonder what His Highness's plan was after he found out about this matter yesterday?"
"This..." Kong Wen stopped talking and sighed, "Well, yesterday, His Highness went to meet a confidante. It happened that he only 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 in a very difficult position."
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 come true, it will be a good story."
"How does junior brother know about His Highness?" Kong Wen asked in surprise. This matter is so secret that even among His Highness's closest confidants, he is the only one who knows 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, and he quickly stood up and said, "Could it be that the invitation to Yuelou yesterday was done by Jin Yiwei?"
"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 fishing for people in the Jiaofang Division."
"That's good, that's good."
Kong Wen breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in 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 wants 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 difficult to steal 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?"
"What my junior brother said is that His Highness also admires the Crown Princess very much and wants to get closer to her more in the future."
Kong Wen smiled kindly. As for his heart, he had already been happy. His Highness Yu hurriedly went to Jinyiwei to embarrass him. Whether this matter succeeded or not, he would definitely make money. 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.
