The emperor's words actually made Qi Jingyun very moved, he always knew that the capital had its own forces in Nanzhao, and he had always wanted to take over these forces, but because the emperor's suspicion had not been able to do so, over time, he had no illusions, but now that the opportunity was in front of him, he was a little hesitant. For such a long time, in order to eliminate the emperor's vigilance, he has always maintained a character who has no ambitions and no learning, so he never fights for anything, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor can tolerate him for so long. However, if he agrees directly now, will his character be ruined? The emperor was suspicious, if he suspected that everything before was pretended, wouldn't it be a failure?

It's really hard to do! He had to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds and get the emperor to take the initiative to hand over the intelligence agencies to him.

"Brother Huang, I don't have any skills, except for being able to do a little kung fu, Brother Huang, you have so many talented people, why do you have to look for me? In my opinion, you can find someone in your secret guard to run the Intelligence Bureau, and he must be doing a lot better than me. If the royal brother came to me late at night just for this matter, I think I'd better go back! Qi Jingyun stood up and wanted to leave, his expression looked a little embarrassed, he was thinking about how to get the emperor to give him the intelligence agency without arousing his suspicion.

The emperor didn't think that he would refuse, and he was immediately furious, he put down the cup in his hand heavily, and said, "Third brother, are you serious?" ”

Qi Jingyun stopped, turned around and smiled at him, and said, "Naturally, it's true." "That's weird!

"Does the third brother know how to deal with the crime of bullying the king in my court?" The Emperor's tone was cold.

"If you kill the king, you will kill the king, and if you do it at worst, you will be connected to the nine clans." Qi Jingyun knew what he wanted to do, so he followed his words.

"How can Princess Jin also be a member of the royal family, so there is no need for the nine clans, but you say that she can't hide from this murder?"

"You!" Qi Jingyun was very angry, he didn't expect the emperor to threaten him with Qiao Mingyue.

Seeing Qi Jingyun's reaction, the emperor calmed down his anger instead, and he said with regret: "Oh, it's a pity, I originally thought that I wanted to save Princess Jin from the crime of bullying the king in the face of my third brother, but His Royal Highness King Jin didn't know how to raise it, since this is the case, then I have to enforce the law impartially." Come! As he spoke, the Emperor shouted out of the door, and the guards came in at once.

"Give Princess Jin to my ......"

"Wait!" Qi Jingyun hurriedly stopped him, he had no doubt that the emperor was definitely here, "You caught her, but there is no treasure map." ”

The emperor waved his hand, and the guards retreated.

Hearing his words, the emperor sneered and said, "It's just a treasure map, except for Qiao Mingyue, I can also get it in other ways, it's really not good, I'll go to my grandfather to ask for it, you say, will his old man give it to me?" ”

Qi Jingyun made an annoyed look and scolded secretly: "Damn! Why did the lady even say this! ”

When the emperor saw his remorseful appearance, his heart was very happy.

"How did the third brother think about it?" The emperor smiled proudly, he was sure that Qi Jingyun would not refuse him.

Qi Jingyun didn't intend to really refuse, but when he saw him like this, he didn't shirk anymore.

"In that case, then I don't seem to have a way to refuse, so I should find something to do. As for the treasure map, I was originally quite interested, but now that I think about it, those priceless treasures don't seem to be of much use in my hands, at most they are just for eating, drinking, and having fun, and now that I have taken over the intelligence bureau, the imperial brother should not treat me badly! In this case, the treasure map will be handed over to the imperial brother, but in the future, my younger brother will have to help me pay for the money for drinking and eating meat. Qi Jingyun leaned lazily on the back of the chair and smiled casually, as if he really only cared about whether he could live a chic and comfortable life.

When the emperor saw him so frank, he also smiled, "Okay, I won't miss you." In all fairness, Qi Jingyun's appetite is not small, but in the emperor's opinion, this amount of money is nothing compared to the treasure map that people in the world are eager for.

Seeing that Qi Jingyun had already agreed, he took out a few things from his arms, "This is the list and token of everyone in the Intelligence Bureau, third brother, as long as you work hard, the imperial brother will not treat you badly." Originally, it was a test for him to hand over such an important organization as the Intelligence Bureau to Qi Jingyun this time, if Qi Jingyun agreed without saying a word, he would hesitate to hand over the Intelligence Bureau to Qi Jingyun. Now it seems that although Qi Jingyun did not hide his interest in the treasure map, this is normal, isn't it? No one would be completely uninterested in the treasure, and it was precisely because of this that the emperor trusted Qi Jingyun even more. In his opinion, Qi Jingyun has always been just a gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, although he has good kung fu. But such people are better controlled, aren't they?

Qi Jingyun took the token and the list, glanced at it briefly, and put it away.

"Brother Huang, it's getting late, my brother is leaving."

……

After returning to the room, Qi Jingyun saw that Qiao Mingyue was still waiting for him, and he went over to sit beside her.

"Is there anything the emperor is looking for you?" Qiao Mingyue asked worriedly.

Qi Jingyun briefly recounted the matter, "Look, this is the token and list of the intelligence agency. ”

Qiao Mingyue took it, and the two of them looked at it carefully.

"Something is wrong!" Qiao Mingyue said with a sudden frown.

"What's wrong?" Qi Jingyun was puzzled, he came back as soon as he got the token and the list, and he didn't have time to take a closer look.

"You see if these people are all businessmen." Qiao Mingyue pondered for a moment and said.

Qi Jingyun nodded, "Yes, is there any problem?" "Seventy percent of the people on the list are businessmen.

Qiao Mingyue replied: "The problem is that they are all merchants dealing in iron tools and gunpowder. ”

Qi Jingyun frowned, "Iron and gunpowder ......"

Suddenly, he was shocked: "He wants to fight!" ”

Qiao Mingyue nodded solemnly, "That's right." ”

"We have to stop him, the people will suffer the most in the war, and my second brother will probably be in danger. No matter what, you can't let him fight. She has followed General Qiao since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of scenes after the war, that kind of bloody scene, she never wants to see it again in her life.

Qi Jingyun was also anxious, "But what are we going to do?" ”

Qiao Mingyue thought for a while and said, "It's impossible to convince the emperor, so the only way to do it is to find a way from Nanzhao's side." ”

"Let's go talk to Emperor Nanzhao and let them take the initiative to cooperate with Da Zhou!"
