Chapter 424: Night Trading
Jing Wei nodded, but sneered in his heart. To put it bluntly, it is to dictate and dictate to subordinates, cooperation, but not necessarily. He is no longer the simple Jing Wei he used to be, he already knows who is more clever in this method, and who is the most ruthless in killing.
The carriage kept going until it came to an abandoned courtyard. Jing Wei got out of the car, put on his cloak and followed behind Jing Yuyuan.
Walking on the bluestone slab, making a creaking sound, Jing Wei looked down at the bluestone slab and found that the snow should have just been cleared. When he arrived in the backyard, Jing Yuyuan brought Jing Wei to the door of the room, "Your Majesty, please come in, I'll wait outside." β
Xiao Jixiang and the guards stayed far outside the room, always paying attention to the movements around them. Jing Wei's little man pushed open the door and strode in.
There was only one hanging lantern in the room, and it was not bright at all. Jing Wei saw a person wrapped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes exposed. "You're the Shadow Lord?"
"Yes. Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live. The shadow lord saluted Jing Wei.
"Let's be flat." Jing Wei sat down in a chair. "It's not interesting for me to be the emperor."
The Shadow Lord sat down in the next chair. "Your Majesty is a noble person, he is the master of the world, the current situation is only temporary, as long as His Majesty survives this darkness, he will become the real lord of the world."
Jing Wei is in a better mood, this shadow master is still quite good at talking. "I never knew there was such a person as the Shadow Master."
"The minister is hiding in the shadows and guarding the mission." The shadow lord changed his words, "Your Majesty wants to see Zaixia, does you want to cooperate with Zaixia?" β
"That's right." Jing Wei didn't want to waste time either, so he went straight to the topic. "I want to kill two people."
"Who?"
"Princess Anqing and the regent Jinglin."
And so it was. The shadow lord guessed at the beginning that this little emperor was really naΓ―ve. Princess Anqing and the regent are dead, and there will definitely be turmoil in the Tianqing Dynasty this time. If you don't talk about the interior, let's talk about the frontier, and there will definitely be a war. "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that once the two of them die, what will happen to the dynasty?"
"Tianqing can have a lot of people, isn't there a master who has replaced the two of them?" Jing Wei didn't think it had anything to do with losing the two of them. Some people die, some people come up, and the dynasty can still operate without anyone.
The shadow lord secretly scolded Jing Wei for being stupid. "Your Majesty, I don't have the ability to kill both of them at once. The regent is far away in Wucheng, the distance is too far, Princess Anqing has many masters around her, and she is also a master, how to start? β
"And what's the point of us meeting?" Jing Wei was angry.
"It was His Majesty who asked to meet. Also, I am very curious about the secret about Princess Anqing in His Majesty's mouth. The shadow lord also directly put forward what he wanted.
"I can tell you the secret, but I have to change something."
"What's that?" The Shadow Lord asked.
"I want to see you for who you really are." Jing Wei's small finger pointed at the shadow lord's face.
The shadow lord laughed at the desk, this little emperor is a little interesting. Wouldn't his true identity be exposed when Jing Wei saw it, then he would have to listen to Jing Wei in the future. "Your Majesty, what a calculation." The shadow lord stretched out his fingers and shook them from side to side, "Don't change." Speaking of which, I know more secrets than Your Majesty. β
"If you promise to see me, it means that you have what you want, tell me, do I have it?" Jing Wei analyzed the pros and cons in his heart, constantly thinking about whether Princess Anqing would really kill him.
"What you want, Your Majesty naturally has."
"Tell me."
"I want Your Majesty to kill Princess Anqing directly while she is unprepared."
"Nope." Jing Wei immediately refused. If you kill Princess Anqing by yourself, you will definitely not be able to get the antidote, and you will have to die. "She's dead, who will contain the Jin Palace?"
The shadow lord sighed in his heart, this emperor is really difficult to handle. "Otherwise, I have some personal enmity with Princess Anqing, and I have always wanted to take revenge, as long as Your Majesty helps kill Princess Anqing in Xia, I will help Your Majesty kill the regent."
"You're fooling me." Jing Wei can see that this actor is not reliable at all. going back and forth, not telling the truth at all, is even more hateful than Princess Anqing, who directly threatens people. Jing Wei had a plan in his heart. "I can see that you just want to use me, and in that case, our cooperation will be forgotten."
"Your Majesty, it's not easy to get on and off this boat. What you have done, you shouldn't want Princess Anqing to know. The Shadow Lord put a knife on the table. Your Majesty, you are still too young. There is no power in your hands, no one, no ability to protect yourself, you can only rely on others, naturally, and listen to others. β
"Are you threatening me?"
"Obviously".
Jing Wei can also understand that none of these people are good people, and they all use him to achieve their own goals, so don't blame yourself for being ruthless. "You want me to kill Princess Anqing, yes, but I want to take some benefits first."
The little emperor who knows the current affairs very well, and the actor likes it. "What do you want?"
"Didn't you say it all, I lack people, I want people. Either you give me some manpower, or help me get back the power from Princess Anqing. β
"If you kill Princess Anqing, you will naturally get it back." The shadow master is really very cautious and doesn't lose anything.
"The shadow lord thinks really well, I'm not a fool. You have to pay the interest first, as for what the interest is, it depends on the ability of the actor. β
The Shadow Lord put the knife back. "Good. I will send interest to Your Majesty in the future, and you have received it, but you have to do as I say, otherwise, you know. β
Of course he knew, but he was just threatening him. "I understand that with your ability, it is easy to take my life." These people all want to kill him, they want to use him, and one day, he will kill all these people. "It's getting late, I'm going back."
"Your Majesty, please." The shadow lord got up and opened the door for Jing Wei.
Jing Wei walked out of the door of the room and left the courtyard with Xiao Jixiang. The carriage made a trail on the snow, which quickly covered it, gradually erasing the traces.
Lin Wu squatted beside Gu Jue and asked, "Childe, the people have already left, what should we do next?" "In the middle of the night, I was half frozen to death outside, and I didn't get anything, and I was a little aggrieved.
"Do you think the snow will bury all traces?" Gu Jue asked.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier, covering all the traces." Lin Wu replied.
Gu Jue watched the emperor go out, and about two quarters of an hour later, Princess Yuankang left, and after another two quarters of an hour, the shadow lord left. The shadow master brought a lot of people, surrounded his side tightly, and didn't leave a chance to start. Gu Jue got up, "Half an hour has passed, the shadow master should be almost gone, we should go to the blood guard to sit down." β
