Chapter 234 Formal Alliance, Bumpy Future
Tang Yun's promise was really beyond Tang Jin's expectations, and he secretly said in his heart that he had made a mistake. Obviously, he was successfully deceived by the disguised appearance of the second prince.
From the time the two even met, the other party tried to plant his image of a pedantic scholar who followed the rules in his heart, so as to serve him in the future. Although Tang Jin repeatedly told himself that the other party would not be so simple, he subconsciously agreed with the image deliberately made up by the other party, so he had the current one.
Judging from the fact that the other party agreed to his conditions without hesitation, what the other party wanted was definitely not a simple group of scholars, and what he wanted to do with the Shen family's connections and fame was obviously bigger.
"Heh, my cousin has put on a good show, and this is the first time that my younger brother has planted ......" Tang Jin squinted his eyes and said.
Tang Yun was slightly stunned, and then seemed to understand what Tang Jin meant, the elegant temperament on his body was gone, but it was inexplicably a little deeper, and the whole person also revealed an impenetrable mystery.
Wu Zi walked to the table, grabbed the wine glass and drank it all, a smug look flashed on his face, "What did my cousin say, we children who grew up in the palace are different from those of you who were born in the palace. In this palace, if you don't know how to act, there is no way to live at all, inside the wall, everyone is a top actor, and everyone is a top audience, so I can only say that my cousin is still short-sighted. ”
"So happy to admit it? Aren't you afraid that I will return? Tang Jin tilted his head and looked at the other party quite strangely.
"Repentance? Ha ha. Tang Yun laughed as if he had heard something interesting, walked up to Tang Jin's side, patted him on the shoulder, hugged Tang Jin's neck, and pointed sharply in the direction of the palace and said, "Do you know how many people covet the connections and fame of the Duke of Dingguo?" You don't know what you're getting, it's enough to subvert the Tang Dynasty from the foundation, you alone can't swallow it at all! I was the first to come to you, and I guess the eldest, third, fourth, and fifth people are already on their way here, or they have already arrived at your house. You have to cooperate with one of them, and you have to share the power of the Dingguo Gong lineage, otherwise it will definitely not be a smooth road waiting for you, and it is likely that you will not even know how to die. Imagine that five native princes join forces to deal with one of you, how can you resist in this unfamiliar capital? ”
After speaking, Tang Yun patted Tang Jin's back, raised his chin, and motioned to the other party to think about it.
Tang Jin stared thoughtfully at the floor in front of him. Why didn't he understand the truth that Tang Yun said? It's just that what he didn't expect was that the energy of Dingguo Gong's line was even more terrifying than he thought, and he had already tried his best to overestimate the other party's ability, after all, it was similar to Kong Shenghou
human existence, but obviously his thinking is biased towards modernity, and he still underestimates the influence of Kong Shengna and other figures in the feudal dynasty.
Although he is unwilling, if he is really as Tang Yun said, he has the assistance of the Dingguo Gong lineage, it will do more harm than good, this force is not something that he can control now, if he doesn't find someone to share it, he will probably be swallowed by all forces and there will be no scum left.
"I'll admit you're right, but there's one thing, why do I have to work with you? You also said that the other four princes besides you also want to borrow the power of the Shen family through me, so why can't I estimate the price? Tang Jin looked at the other party narrowly.
Na Cheng thought that his words not only failed to make the other party feel embarrassed, but caused the other party to laugh out loud, "Oops, my stupid cousin." I really don't know whether to say that you have good confidence, or whether to say that you have a good heart, and you have been in the capital for so long, so you haven't thought about investigating the forces behind your cousins? You didn't investigate, so I'll tell you. ”
Tang Yun pulled over a stool, sat down slowly, crossed Erlang's legs and said: "The eldest prince Tang Hao, behind him is the Nangong family, the first family of the Tang Dynasty, but you fell out with him on the first day you came to the capital, and it is absolutely impossible to cooperate with him with your temper; The third prince Tang Gou, the mother family is one of the five wealthy businessmen, no, now the Wang family, one of the four richest businessmen, looks good, is a potential partner, but the Wang family and the original Liu family are in the same spirit, and the two sides are married for several generations, while you killed the Liu family, you also ruined half of the Wang family, do you think they will cooperate with you sincerely? As for the fourth and fifth, behind the fourth is the Xu family, and Xu Youquan, the secretary of the military department, is his uncle, you killed someone's aunt, this is a mortal enemy, and you don't have to think about it, his mother is a descendant of the Liu family, and your second mother is a sister, and she is also a mortal enemy with you. ”
Saying that, Tang Yun paused slightly, glanced at Tang Jin, chuckled, shook his head and said, "Besides me, who do you think you can cooperate with?" ”
"What about you? Who's behind you? Tang Jin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"My aunt is Huo Yinghong." Tang Yun went straight to the point. As soon as he said this, Tang Jin's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he hurriedly looked at the other party again.
"What kind of eyes are you? Don't I look like it? Tang Yun frowned slightly.
Tang Jin smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "It's really not like it." Just like you, saying that you are the nephew of the first female general of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that few people believe it. ”
"Hey! What you said, my martial arts are all trained by my aunt, what's wrong? Tang Yun was unconvinced.
Despite what the other party said, Tang Jin still looked skeptical. To be honest, if you don't know the other party, you don't need to be in this kind of situation
Lying to himself about things, Tang Jin really couldn't hook such a scheming guy in front of him, looking weak and unruly, with the first female general of the Tang Dynasty and the first female grandmaster in a hundred years.
Of course, he said so, but Tang Jin still didn't have to forget about business. According to what the other party said, except for Tang Yun, among the five princes, he has almost no object that can be allied with, and Tang Jin doesn't think that the other party will lie to him in this matter, this kind of thing is not difficult to investigate, and it is pointless for him to lie.
Four of the five princes have gaps with themselves, but Tang Yun, who is standing behind him from the Huo family, has no major disputes with him, and even because Tang Duo and Huo Yinghong killed the enemy together, the two families are still a little friendly.
"Whether you think it looks like it or not, Huo Yinghong is my aunt, this is an ironclad fact, if you don't believe it, you can check it. But the only one of the five princes who can ally with you is me, so you should think about it. Ignoring Tang Jin's suspicious eyes with a wave of his hand, Tang Yun said impatiently.
"I didn't say that I wouldn't form an alliance with you, nor did I care about your relationship with General Huo, what I care about is what you want to do with the help of the Shen family's connections and fame. Don't talk to me about recruiting scholars, I want to hear the truth. Tang Jin stood up and looked at the other party indifferently.
Tang Yun was slightly stunned, then chuckled and shook his head, "Do you think it's possible?" The relationship between the two of us isn't that good, is it? Saying that it is an alliance is just a temporary cooperation, and sooner or later there will be a break, if I tell everything I have, then do I still want to participate in the succession of ten thousand sons? At most, I can guarantee that I will not use the power I got from the Shen family against you, and if you don't believe me, I can swear by martial arts. ”
Speaking of this, it is obvious that both sides have shown their hole cards, Tang Jin wants to know that the other party's purpose itself is a little bit inched, so he insists on just trying it, and now Tang Yun has made the biggest concession, if Tang Jin is aggressive, the two sides will have a slight quarrel.
"Well, I believe you. Swear an oath, and at the same time, I will also inform Shen Guogong's side, you can send someone to negotiate at that time. Tang Jin nodded decisively.
"Okay." Tang Yun was not ambiguous, he immediately agreed, and then swore with his martial heart that he would never use everything he got from the Shen family against Tang Jin.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, but the fake smile was obvious to everyone. But the two of them didn't care at all, and after a while, they were called "cousin" and "cousin", and once they sat at the table and ate with laughter, and the speed of changing their faces made Fang Xiaoer and Xiao Lizi on the side look at each other, and they could only shake their heads and sigh: "The friendship between the big people is really weird." ”
