Bian Guang wanted to kill Tian Quan, who was looked down upon by Lu Hanjiang, but instead came to Ying Wushang for help. There were obviously some intriguing questions.
To be fair, Ying Wushang has a good relationship with Bian Guang on the surface, but in fact the interaction between the two is very limited. In other words, Ying Wushang has very little contact with most of the brothers in Jinyiwei. His birth background alone has separated him from too many people.
separated.
Also alone, Lu Hanjiang, who had been exterminated back then, joined the Imperial Guard and worked his way up from the main banner to the rank of Thousand Households. Everyone treated him warmly and there were countless people who recommended themselves to serve. On the other hand, even if he became a Thousand Households, there would still be few people.
The difference between the two lies in their background.
Lu Hanjiang was able to gain the support of everyone, partly because of Meng Yuan's backing, but the bigger reason was that even though he was expelled, Mr. Lu was from a noble family and was a descendant of the dignified Lu clan.
In a word, for most Jin Yiwei, people who grow up in the compound of "official family" can naturally develop trust and goodwill. To describe it in three simple words, they are their own people.
For example, during the Jiangnan Rebellion, several thousand households in Jinyiwei clearly followed Qiao Shifang in "rebellion". After Lu Hanjiang dealt with it with thunderous means, the families of those thousands households who didn't even leave their names have long since disappeared.
No one cares whether he is dead or alive.
But as the "bandit leader" Qiao Shifang, not only was the Qiao family behind him not implicated, his brother even directly became the flag officer of the Jinyiwei. Although the matter changed due to someone's intervention, in general
It still means that.
All the accomplices disappeared, but the Qiao family, the leader of the bandits, was able to escape. The difference lies in their background. The Qiao family is not a wealthy family, but they have been officials for many generations. To the people above, they are all in the same circle.
Your own people must be decent.
The disposal of the Qiao family was led by Wu Qiming and was finalized with Meng Yuan's consent. It can be seen that even in the Jin Yiwei who licks blood at the edge of the knife, this background is equally important.
The family behind Bian Guang is not obvious, but he is also an official, so even if the other party breaks the rules, there is still a way out.
But Ying Wushang was different. He was truly alone. After the Ying family disappeared, he was just an ordinary person in the world. If Mr. Wu hadn't had the insight to recognize talents, he might have been buried in the waves of the world.
.
Therefore, there are some things that Bian Guang can do, but Ying Wushang cannot do. Because of this, the other party sending him this kind of letter at this moment may not necessarily have the intention of asking for help.
Looking at Kuai Baihu who looked melancholy in front of him, suddenly, a thought flashed through Ying Wushang's mind, and he seemed to be vaguely aware of Bian Guang's true intentions.
This letter may not be asking for help, but the other party wants to use his own hands to apologize to Mr. Lu in disguise.
"It's a bit difficult to handle the matter of serving as deputy to Qianhu. What do you think of Kuai Baihu?" Ying Wushang tentatively asked Kuai Baihu next to him.
Kuai Baihu let out a long sigh: "Although Brother Bian was confused for a while, he has a brotherly relationship with the humble minister after all. It is not convenient for the humble minister to speak about this matter. It is entirely up to Master Qianhu to deal with it."
Ying Wushang understood, he put the letter away, then turned his back and said calmly: "Comrades, I will give you three days. If Bian Guang is moved, he must have almost figured out the other party's bottom line.
, if the speed is fast enough, maybe it can be done."
"Thank you so much, Lord Qianhu." Kuai Baihu was so moved that he bowed and bowed.
Ying Wushang nodded and went back to the house with the letter. It was impossible to hide this kind of thing from Mr. Lu. He couldn't do it and didn't dare to do it. For him, the difference between Bian Guang's request was just whether it was a morning newspaper or a morning report.
Evening News.
This time Ying Wushang chose the latter. After ascending to the position of Qianhu, he had realized that it was not enough to continue to be alone. He urgently needed to integrate into other people's groups.
This time he chose to bear the charge of dereliction of duty to help Bian Guang delay for a few days. This was his expression of goodwill. As for the effect, it can only be seen in the future.
...
A few days before the letter was sent to Dongdu, Bian Guang had already analyzed the collected intelligence and gathered manpower to prepare for departure.
But before setting off, Wu Qiming called him over.
"I have met Mr. Wu in my humble position." Bian Guang was not surprised that the other party would discover his actions. In the capital, his every move could not be hidden from anyone.
Wu Qiming was sitting in front of the writing desk. When he saw him coming, he paused with his pen, then continued writing. At the same time, he asked: "The deputy Qianhu has recently summoned people and contacted several county government offices. What if he leaves the capital?"
"
Bian Guang bowed and said: "Replying to your lord, I am sorry to say that I have a private matter to settle. Please let me go."
"Everyone has his own selfish interests, so naturally I will not stop Deputy Qianhu. However, the Jin Yiwei has the rules of the Jin Yiwei." Wu Qiming put down his pen, raised his eyes and looked at the other party, "What do you want to do?"
"Kill," Bian Guang said in a hoarse voice: "Kill the Qingcheng sect disciple, Tianquan."
Wu Qiming was not surprised by this answer. He just said calmly: "Why bother? Although this person fell into Mr. Lu's eyes by mistake, his life and death are already determined. You just need to wait with peace of mind. This person will die sooner or later.
"
After Bian Guang was silent for a moment, he slowly knelt down and replied: "I am worried about my humble position... things will change later."
"Why do you have such thoughts, or do you not believe Mr. Lu?" Wu Qiming asked.
"I don't dare to be humble." Bian Guang lowered his head deeply.
"well."
Wu Qiming sighed softly. He stood up and walked to Bian Guang, patted him on the shoulder to signal him to get up, and then said: "Bian Guang, do you know how you got where you are today?"
"It's all thanks to the help of adults." Bian Guang replied in a deep voice.
Wu Qiming nodded slightly and said with a deep look: "In terms of martial arts talent, you are not excellent. In terms of political maneuvering, you are not good at it. In terms of background, there are many people better than you. Why does Mr. Lu value you? You can
Know?"
Bian Guang's eyes were a little lonely, but he still answered truthfully: "Bizhi understands, because when Mr. Lu was appointed to the Hundred Households, Beizhi was already under your command."
"You are Mr. Lu's direct subordinate. You have been valued by him for many years. The affairs of the capital are so important. Mr. Lu has abandoned so many thousands of households, but he has promoted you to do things. Such an honor, you
Do you remember?" Wu Qiming said.
"Don't forget your humble position."
Bian Guang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your kindness, I will always remember it in my heart. I made an independent decision this time. It's not that I doubt you, it's just that I don't want to wait any longer."
Wu Qiming shook his head and said: "Bian Guang, you value friendship, which is a good thing, but you have to think clearly, do you really want to give up your current status and power just for the sake of brotherhood?"
Bian Guang was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked solemn, and replied word by word: "Please, my lord, please do it."
Wu Qiming sighed, stopped talking, and walked past Bian Guang without looking back. After a long time, Bian Guang got up and came outside. His brothers had been waiting outside for a long time.
The official positions of this group of people range from small banners to hundreds of households, and they all followed him through many years of ups and downs.
"Brother Bian, everyone is ready." One of them stepped forward and said.
Bian Guang raised his head and glanced at the clear blue sky. He closed his eyes and muttered a little. When he opened his eyes again, there was no more hesitation or hesitation. He tightened the embroidered spring knife around his waist and said in a concentrated voice: "Let's go!"
