Chapter 129: Hypocrisy and Wrongdoing
Uncle Meng smiled: "I prefer to call it an undercover agent." He said lightly: "The palace wealthy, the mansion and the deep courtyard have always been eyes and ears, in fact, this is not right or wrong." ”
Qin Xiao looked at Uncle Meng and said with a wry smile: "The eldest prince is very clever, if I find out that I am an undercover agent, I will definitely not spare me." ”
"He's not as smart as you think." Uncle Meng smiled weirdly: "You don't have to think of him as omnipotent. ”
Qin Xiao's face did not change, but his heart sank.
Uncle Meng's strange smile flashed and made Qin Xiao feel a little uneasy, he couldn't tell why, but that smile and what he said made Qin Xiao feel quite meaningful.
"You will soon understand that the young prince is even more generous than Yuwen Chengchao." Uncle Meng said: "If you can sincerely do things for us, I can guarantee you glory and wealth first, and I can also be sure that Yuwen Chengchao can't give you a lot of things that the young prince gives you." ”
Qin Xiao was silent for a moment before he said helplessly: "Uncle, will I become your puppet from now on?" ”
Uncle Meng smiled: "You don't have to worry. is limited to two years, as long as you are loyal to the young prince for these two years, after two years, it is up to you to choose where to go. If you want to stay, the young son will naturally be happy, and he will definitely give you a good future. If you're leaving, we'll also give you a lot of money, at least for the rest of your life. ”
Qin Xiao sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that he was afraid that the silver would not be spent, but the people would be gone.
He knew very well in his heart that the so-called two-year covenant was just a bait thrown by Uncle Meng, which was nothing more than to make him obediently obey orders in the past two years, and if how to arrange it after two years, I am afraid that Uncle Meng himself did not think it through.
"Uncle isn't afraid that I will run away halfway?" Qin Xiao finally asked.
"I think Qin Qixiao is a very smart person." Uncle Meng said: "Let's put it this way, if you escape, the entire Xiling will continue to want you, only the Zhen family is looking for you at the moment, if the three major families join forces at that time, Qin Qixiao thinks that he can still be safe and sound in Xiling?" Even if I can't find you, you can only hide in Tibet, and never see the light of day. ”
Qin Xiao said helplessly: "If the three major families are all looking for me, I will indeed be unable to fly." ”
"But if you're honest and obedient, I can do one more thing for you." Uncle Meng said: "When the young prince inherits the title, you will be the hero of the young son, even if the Zhen family will still hold you accountable at that time, the young son can completely resolve this matter for you." ”
Qin Xiao pretended to be surprised: "Really? ”
"You should believe that the Yuwen family has this strength." Uncle Meng said with a smile: "The Yuwen family is the first family in Xiling, and when the time comes, you will become a retainer of the Yuwen family, how dare the Zhen family embarrass you?" ”
Qin Xiao secretly scolded in his heart, how could the Yuwen family tear their faces with the Zhen family for themselves, if Yuwen Chengling inherited the title, the first thing he had to do was probably to escort himself to the Zhen Hou Mansion, so as to strengthen the relationship between the two major gates.
If the Yuwen Chengchao really falls, then the value of his use of Yuwen Chengling will be greatly reduced.
Qin Xiao didn't think it was because of his skills that Uncle Meng took a fancy to.
There are many masters in the rivers and lakes, and the Yuwen family has silver, and if they want to hire high-rollers in the rivers and lakes to work hard, many people will rush to it, and there are people who are better than themselves.
Uncle Meng took a fancy to himself, in the final analysis, because he got the weight of Yuwen Chengchao, he could get close to Yuwen Chengchao.
Although Yuwen Chengchao has moved out of the Hou Mansion, Uncle Meng's group must still be extremely jealous of him, otherwise he would not have calculated many times.
Now that he has become an undercover agent beside Yuwen Chengchao, in the future battle, knowing himself and knowing the other is naturally more certain.
Qin Xiao sneered in his heart, but his face was full of joy, and he got up and arched his hand: "Thank you, Uncle Meng, if this is the case, the kid will die."
Words. ”
Uncle Meng knew that Qin Xiao was not simple, but in the final analysis, the young man in front of him was not yet twenty years old, and he may have some ability, but he was not able to hide his emotions seamlessly, seeing that Qin Xiao's eyebrows were full of joy, he got up and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "You have chosen the right path, and the future is limitless." ”
"Uncle, I'm undercover next to the eldest son, are you.... You must keep it a secret, and you must not leak a single word of it. Qin Xiao said worriedly: "If the eldest prince knows, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Rest assured, not only will your identity not be revealed, but we can also help you cover it up if necessary." Uncle Meng said with a smile: "You shouldn't stay here longer, it's too long, it's suspicious, you go first." In the future, I will send someone to contact you secretly, and you should pay more attention to the eldest prince. He doesn't have a lot of people around him, and if he really makes any big moves, he will definitely let you act together, and you have to report the situation over there in time. ”
Qin Xiao arched his hand and said, "You should obey your orders." ”
Uncle Meng smiled with satisfaction, carried his back with one hand, and slowly went out of the door.
Qin Xiao's face sank when he saw him leave.
If you directly refuse Uncle Meng's request tonight, or even turn your face with him, that is what only the most stupid people do.
Uncle Meng has something to ask for himself, as long as he pretends to cooperate with him, at least at the moment, he will never attack himself.
Picking up the wanted warrant in his hand, Qin Xiao's face was even more solemn.
The Zhen family only sent this wanted warrant over last month, which means that the Zhen Hou Mansion has not given up arresting him.
The portrait on this is already quite similar to himself, so naturally he later found someone who knew him well and made a more accurate description of his appearance.
The food of the convoy has been unloaded, and the handover has been made, the driver of the convoy is originally the person sent by the Yuwen family, and the rest are the cavalry guarding the convoy, all of whom are from the White Tiger Battalion.
Qin Xiao originally wanted to go back to the camp directly with the cavalry of the White Tiger Battalion, but he wanted to enter the city by himself, and when he left, he didn't go to say hello to Yuwen Chengchao, and it was not appropriate in the end, so he ordered the cavalry to go back to the camp first, and he went to the residence of the eldest prince.
"Wang Riding School, King Riding School." Qin Xiao and the other cavalry left, and was about to ride to Yuwen's mansion, but saw Chen Zhitai come out from the side again.
Qin Xiao was a little speechless and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"What should I do?" Chen Zhitai scratched his head and said: "The soldiers are gone, and the drivers are gone, and no one pays attention to me." ”
Qin Xiao thought to himself, you are a thief, it is a great luck to save your life, if you are someone else, you are afraid that you will run away early, this guy has no heart and lungs, and he even stays and is verbose.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Qin Xiao looked at himself and didn't speak, Chen Zhitai touched his face: "Is there something on your face?" ”
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can go with me first." "I secretly want to take him to Yuwen Mansion, if Yuwen Chengchao is in the mansion, he directly gives the one hundred taels of silver to Chen Zhitai, where he will go in the future, it has nothing to do with him.
Chen Zhitai grinned and said, "I know that Wang Qixiao is kind-hearted, and there are not many good people like you in this world." ”
Qin Xiao ignored him and rode his horse.
"Wang Qixiao, wait for me." Chen Zhitai immediately spread his legs and ran after him.
Qin Xiao naturally wouldn't let the horse gallop, master the speed, so that Chen Zhitai could always see himself, when he arrived at the Yuwen mansion, Qin Xiao turned over and dismounted, but Chen Zhitai was already sitting in front of the door, out of breath, wanting to speak, but couldn't say it for a while.
"Hey, Brother Wang, are you here?" Guarding in front of the door was Fei Liang, who was familiar with Qin Xiao, and stepped forward.
"Brother Fei, has you always been good?" Qin Xiao smiled and arched his hand: "The eldest prince is back?" ”
"The eldest prince hasn't come back yet, but Big Brother Fat Fish is back, do you want to go in and sit down
? Fei Liang flattered and said: "I heard that Brother Wang is thriving in the White Tiger Camp, it is really gratifying, in fact, the first day I saw you, I felt that you were not a thing in the pool, and you would inevitably soar into the sky, I have always been very accurate ..... people!" ”
"Stop being a sycophant." Chen Zhitai finally relented: "Lao Tzu hates sycophants the most, don't you blush when you say these words?" ”
Fei Liang didn't pay attention to Chen Zhitai sitting on the steps at all, listening to his voice, his face suddenly turned ugly, and when he saw that he still had two axes hanging from his waist, he immediately pulled out the knife in his hand, and asked, "Who is it?" How dare you show up here with a knife? ”
"I'm a henchman of the Wang Riding School." Chen Zhitai said without hesitation: "You are so bold, you dare to talk to Wang Qixiao's henchmen like this, do you want to live?" ”
Fei Liang was stunned, although he looked down on Chen Zhitai, Qin Xiao didn't dare not give face.
Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, this Chen Zhitai has no skin and no face, he dares to say anything, he raised his hand and patted Fei Liang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, let him sit here and rest." I'll go in and see Big Brother Fat Fish. "Don't talk nonsense, Chen Zhitai sat outside the door, entered the mansion, and before entering the hall, Pang Yu Fat Fish and Zhao Yi had already greeted him from the house, and Fat Fish smiled: "Brother Wang, how is the handover?" ”
"It's going well, it's a handover list." Qin Xiao took the handover list given to him by the granary and handed it to Fat Yu: "I drank a cup of tea over there, so I came over late." ”
"The eldest prince hasn't come back yet, why don't we get some wine and food to fill my stomach first?" Fat Fish smiled: "The list is still handed over to the eldest prince by yourself, no matter what, you have made a great contribution this time, and when the eldest prince comes back, he will definitely reward you." ”
Zhao Yi also smiled and said: "Brother Wang, you are really majestic this time, I only hate that I am not with you, otherwise I can witness your divine power with my own eyes." ”
Before Yuwen Chengchao led people to attack Jigong Gorge, he ordered Zhao Yi to lead people to escort the grain team back to the city, but he missed the opportunity to go up the mountain, which also made him regretful.
"There is no majesty, just to survive." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Two big brothers, don't mention any more divine might, if you say this again, I won't have the face to see you in the future." ”
"Brother Wang is thin-skinned, we saw it last time." Zhao Yi smiled bitterly: "There is one thing, I have always wanted to ask you, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
"Brother Zhao, please speak!"
"That night's Western Regions Dancing Girl, you really weren't tempted?" Zhao Yihu doubted: "All men in the world can't help it, why do you just hold back?" ”
Qin Xiao was stunned, knowing that he was talking about Hanizi, he was immediately embarrassed, thinking that that night must be one of the most regrettable moments in Lao Tzu's life, but he still said calmly: "Actually, it's not that I'm not tempted, it's just that I'm still young and too timid." ”
"Cowardly?" Zhao Yi smiled bitterly: "I have always felt that your courage is greater than that of the tiger and leopard. Do you know that night, all the money I had saved was lost, and it was all cheaper than the fat man. ”
Fat Yu smiled, but at this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps, and the three of them looked up, only to see Yuwen Chengchao and Dapeng hurrying over.
"The eldest son!" The three of them immediately stepped forward.
When Yuwen Chengchao saw the three of them, he still didn't show a smile, and ordered: "Zhao Yi, you go to the account room to get a hundred taels of silver and reward it to the third master at the door." He walked into the hall and reached for the teacup, but there was no tea in it, and the fat fish hurriedly poured it for him.
Qin Xiao saw that Yuwen Chengchao's face was very ugly, and even Dapeng also looked solemn, knowing that something was wrong.
"Eldest son, is something wrong?" Fat Fish asked cautiously.
Yuwen Chengchao drank all the tea in one gulp, looked at Fat Yu and Qin Xiao, and said: "A wave of unevenness has risen again, Ding Zixiu's matter has not been investigated, and something big has happened on the Wutuo side." ”
