When he heard Zhao Hongrun say the words to persuade the king, Jin Gou had already realized that after weighing the pros and cons, the young Prince Su in front of him had already made up his mind on whether to accept the submission of the people of Fuqiu.
move.
As long as Jin Gou can convince King Su next, then the people of Fuqiu will be able to escape from this disaster, and even be able to climb the high tree of King Su Hongrun.
The problem now is, how to convince the King Su in front of him?
Before coming, to be honest, Jin Gou didn't have much confidence, because in the previous secret room meeting, Yuma also told the story of his meeting with Zhao Hongrun. At that time, the Zhao Hongrun in Yuma's mouth sounded like an impulsive and willful person.
young people.
To be fair, Jin Gou does not want to deal with such young people who have achieved success in their youth, because the impulsiveness of young people often causes conversations that could have been reached after mutual compromise to collapse because of the slightest concession.
But after meeting Zhao Hongrun with his own eyes, Jin Gou was surprised to find that Prince Su was far more than just the arrogant and self-willed one Yuma had described him to be. From now on, after hearing his intention to surrender, the son had spent a lot of money.
After thinking about it for a long time, and not saying that you assassinated me before, but now you actually want to submit to me, Jin Gou has understood that the young King Su in front of him is a very rational person.
And young people who know how to weigh the pros and cons.
Since you are a rational person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, then you only need to start with the pros and cons.
Thinking of this, Jin Gou clasped his fists towards Zhao Hongrun and said in a low tone: "King Su, I know that I, the Fuqiu people, assassinated King Su several times in the past, which made you hate King Su deeply... But I also found out from it.
Remove a weak point around King Su."
"The weak point?" Zhao Hongrun showed some interest in his eyes and said with a slight smile: "Tell me about it."
I saw Jin Gou glance at the Zongwei Chief Shen Yu, and then continued in his usual gloomy tone: "The people under the old man told the old man what happened during the previous assassinations of King Su. The old man felt that the people around King Su
These Lord Zongwei only know how to protect King Su, but they don’t know how to prevent it.”
"What do you mean?!" Zong Wei Chief Shen Yu scolded unhappily.
"Shen Yu, don't be busy, listen to him." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to signal Shen Yu to calm down.
Seeing this, Shen Yu closed his mouth, but there was still a look of anger on his face.
At this time, Jin Gou continued to explain: "In Lao Cao's view, the protection of King Su by the several Lord Zongwei is limited to dealing with enemies who intend to harm King Su, but cannot be called assassins at all.
...To be disrespectful, Mr. Zongwei, do you know when the two old men got into this house and how they got in?"
"..." Shen Yu opened his mouth, speechless, and his face turned red from holding back.
Fortunately, Jin Gou only used this incident as an analogy, and did not mean to offend Shen Yu. After asking, he gave the answer on his own: "The two of you came down from the roof." He pointed.
Point to the roof above your head, say it honestly
Said: "Any hidden thief knows how to quietly remove the tiles and sneak into the house. Therefore, Mr. Zongwei, you can't guard against the real assassin just by posting guards outside the house... Do you think the assassin
Will you take the main entrance?"
"..." Shen Yu glanced at the roof in surprise, with a somewhat surprised expression.
At this time, Jin Gou seemed to have seen through Shen Yu's thoughts, and Jie Jie smiled and said: "Lord Zong Wei, you don't have to look carefully. This old man is not here to assassinate King Su. He is just afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he came from the roof. Sneak in, and later, regardless of the result of persuading King Su, the old man will leave from the door of the house, so the tiles have already been restored..."
As he spoke, he looked around, as if he saw something bad, and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Yu became suspicious and asked, "What's wrong?"
I saw Jin Gou pointing around, shaking his head and saying: "These furnishings are wrong. Assassins are all agile people, but there are a lot of debris in this house. Are you really confident that you can protect King Su Zhou Quan in a place like this?"
"This is the county government office!" Shen Yu said angrily.
"I'm just discussing the matter." Jin Gou hugged his fists towards Shen Yu and continued: "I was looking carefully on the beam just now. Master Zongwei, you are responsible for protecting King Su, but there is a problem with your position. Don't look at you. You are not far away from King Su, but in fact, there is a table between you and King Su. If the old man is an assassin who comes to assassinate him and jumps directly from King Su's side, you will not be able to protect him at all..."
After that, he pointed to the wall behind Zhao Hongrun and said seriously: "You should stand behind King Su, close to this wall, so that when you look ahead, your peripheral vision can Pay attention to the small doors on both sides. If you post a few more hidden sentries on the roof, few people will be able to sneak in under your nose."
Shen Yu opened his mouth and thought about Jin Gou's words carefully. He actually forgot to get angry and asked instead: "What else?"
Jin Gou glanced at Shen Yu with some surprise, and said without hesitation: "Also, remember not to let King Su sit in this position. Look at where King Su is sitting right now, facing the door of the Yamen... This is This means that if an assassin attempts to assassinate King Su, he does not need to enter the house at all. He can just hide on the tree in the courtyard opposite, or lie on the wall of the county government office, and use an arrow or crossbow to kill him quietly. Silently assassinate King Su..."
After hearing this, Shen Yu glanced outside the dark room, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this time, Jin Gou looked at Zhao Hongrun again and said with a low smile: "As the old man said, Lord Zongwei is not good at dealing with real assassins."
This time, although Shen Yu had an unswerving expression on his face, he did not refute again, because Jin Gou did point out many weaknesses in his guard work.
Seeing Jin Gou showing off his experience in assassination, Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and said, "Is this the weak point around me you said?"
To Zhao Hongrun's surprise, Jin Gou shook his head and said: "This little Daoer, with a little guidance, I believe Master Zongwei can protect King Su without any risk."
Zhao Hongrun was a little confused after hearing this and asked doubtfully: "Then what is the weak point you mentioned?"
I saw Jin Gou pondering for a moment, looking back at Zhao Hongrun and saying: "An hour or two ago, King Su sent several Zongwei masters to lead about 200 Shangshui troops to Shangshui County... King Su knows that in fact, I can Kill this group of people."
When Zhao Hongrun heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he looked at Jin Gou expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Are you threatening me?"
Jin Gou was a little surprised by the murderous intention in Zhao Hongrun's eyes at that moment, and was slightly shocked. He waved his hand and explained: "King Su misunderstood...King Su still remembers the inn that King Su stayed in Yu County." At that time, did you ask those dozen rangers to go to Yanling to deliver a message? But in the end, they were intercepted and killed by our Fuqiu people before they left far... This feeling of not being able to even send a message for help, I believe it’s uncomfortable, right?”
"What do you mean by this guy? You keep provoking me again and again..." Shen Yu, who had slightly changed his mind about Jin Gou, suddenly turned cold after hearing this.
However, at this time, Zhao Hongrun seemed to understand something, and the sullen look on his face gradually faded away.
No, after just pausing for a few breaths, Jin Gou said seriously again: "The weakness around King Su is that he lacks a force that is good at hiding..."
Zhao Hongrun put down the book in his hand, put one hand on the table and the other on the back of the chair, thinking quietly.
It is true that Zhao Hongrun felt so aggrieved during those days when he was assassinated one after another.
This aggrievedness was not only due to the fact that his dignified King Su was assassinated one after another, but what also made him feel shocked and angry was that he could not even send a message.
You should know that the post station where the postmaster He Zhirong is located is only a day and a half round trip from Yanling. If it is a one-way trip, it will only take half a day's travel with a fast horse. It can be said that it is very close.
However, Zhao Hongrun could not even send out the news of the assassination, so he could only temporarily hide in Yuxian County and rely on the county soldiers of Yuxian County.
Fortunately, Yuxian County is here this time. What if it is a wilderness with no villages or shops?
Wouldn't it be true that tens of thousands of soldiers would be assassinated by a group of dozens or hundreds of thieves?
He clearly had the military power in his hands that could resolve the crisis, but was unable to mobilize the troops because the news could not be conveyed. This was what Zhao Hongrun felt most aggrieved about.
And if Zhao Hongrun had a hidden force like the Fuqiu Zhong in his hands at that time, how could he have fallen to that point?
Zhao Hongrun was a little moved.
At this time, Jin Gou was still stating his interests. For example, he hinted to Zhao Hongrun that if the latter was willing to accept the refuge of the Fuqiu people, then the Fuqiu people could solve some things for Zhao Hongrun that were inconvenient for the latter to do personally.
Furthermore, the people of Fuqiu can also help Zhao Hongrun to spy on intelligence and deliver news, which is far more reliable than the messengers.
What surprised Zhao Hongrun the most was that Jin Gou told him that not only did Wei State have assassin organizations like Yang Yin Thief and Yang Xia Yin Thief, but other countries also had assassin organizations. For example, Wei Guo's younger brother Wei Guo had a very A powerful assassin organization, even more powerful than the Yangxia Hidden Thieves.
"Weiguo?"
Zhao Hongrun was actually a little surprised, because he had never thought that the Wei State was very powerful. It was just a weak country that was bullied by the Song State. If it were not for the protection of the Wei State, it would have been destroyed by the Song State.
However, Jin Gou told him that perhaps Weiguo's army was indeed vulnerable, but Weiguo's hidden thieves, or hidden heroes, were well known to be strong.
In the end, Jin Gou assured Zhao Hongrun that he would help Zhao Hongrun solve the problem of hidden thieves in Yangxia, making Yangxia hidden thieves a force available to Zhao Hongrun.
This guy... actually wants to use my power to annex the many hidden thief forces in Yangxia County?
Faintly aware of Jin Gou's intention, Zhao Hongrun looked at the former with incredulous eyes.
It's no wonder, after all, the reason why Zhao Hongrun came to Yangxia was all because of the provocation from Jin Gou's Fuqiu people. However, right now, when the other hidden thief forces who can be said to be implicated are planning to unite to fight against him, Zhao Hongrun
, Jin Gou actually decided to seek refuge with the latter and betray those hidden thieves who were implicated by him, such as the Yiqiu people and the Youma people.
This is no longer the usual level of despicable and shameless cunning.
This old guy is really cunning and cunning, huh...
Humming to himself, Zhao Hongrun nodded slowly and said lightly: "Let me see your sincerity first."
Jin Gou was stunned for a moment, then a knowing look appeared on his face.
"King Su can rest assured that within two days, information on the hidden bandit forces in Yangxia County and the locations of their camps outside the county will be handed over to King Su..." (To be continued.)
