Chapter 166: A Secret
Just in case, Zhang Nan didn't tell others about the invitation, and came out secretly, avoiding Lin Qingqing and Indifferent Xue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The address on the invitation is a restaurant in Anjing City, which is in a very prosperous area.
When he came to the door of the restaurant, looking at the noise in the building and smelling the aroma of wine and food in the air, Zhang Nan had a feeling of breaking into the tiger's den in Longtan. What he went to today was not the Hongmen Banquet, but the genuine Demon Gate Banquet. Although Zhang Nan always felt that Jing Wuyin had no malicious intent, how could he be down-to-earth in the face of the banquet of a great demon of the Five Realms.
But then again, in this Anjing City, even the ferocious Yan Hong would not be able to start a war in such a place.
After calming down, Zhang Nan stepped into the restaurant.
In the past few days since Chu Yun's envoy entered the city, the students were corrupt everywhere, and the nouveau riche was full of momentum. Although the high-level officials of the two countries are deceitful, they do not have so much to do with the common people. Zhang Nan was wearing an obvious Chuyun costume, and in the eyes of the shopkeeper, this was the rich man.
"How many gentlemen?" Xiao Er greeted him warmly.
"One, go to the feast. Zhang Nan said: "My surname is Zhang." ”
Xiao Er was stunned, and his demeanor was much more respectful: "It turned out to be the boss's distinguished guest, please go straight to the third floor, the boss has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Boss?" Zhang Nan was a little strange, and walked up the stairs to the third floor.
The third floor was empty, only a demon, sitting silently at a table at the window, seeing Zhang Nan go upstairs, nodding in greeting.
Looking at that relaxed demeanor, it's like an old friend who often meets each other. I completely forget that not long ago, the relationship between the two sides was still a kidnapping and being kidnapped.
Zhang Nan walked over and sat down: "This restaurant is yours?"
Jing Wuyin smiled: "I've been in Nantang for many years, and I should always have something to do." ”
Xiao Er came up with a tray, put wine and meat on it, and bowed down again. Jing Wuyin picked up the wine jug and filled Zhang Nan with a glass.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you thank me? Jing Wuyin said: "The first time we met, I gave you a treasure." ”
"Oh, this. Zhang Nan took out the seven-kill ruler: "It's so good to take it with you, and now I'll give it back to you?"
There was no sound for a while, and it floated out more than two feet in an instant, with a solemn face. "No, I don't like it. ”
Zhang Nan put away the Seven Killing Rulers, leisurely picked up the wine and sniffed it, and drank it all.
Jing Wuyin sat back at the table again, as if he was a little helpless: "Respect the world's masters, why tease me." ”
"Because you've made me feel awkward. Zhang Nan went to school and looked at Jing Wuyin: "The big demon of the five realms, dressed as a scholar with the air of Confucianism." Compared to you, that Yan Hong looks more pleasing to the eye. ”
"That's because you haven't come into contact with other big demons yet. Jing Wuyin straightened his clothes: "My clan has been integrated into the Southern Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, and many people want to live a stable life. Dressing up like this is to remind yourself not to be preoccupied with your thoughts. Maybe you think it's just the appearance, but if you can't even change the appearance, how can you control the inside? ”
Zhang Nan's eyes flashed, and he faintly guessed the reason for Jing Wuyin's banquet, and opened his mouth to ask: "Some people want to live a stable life, but naturally some people don't want to." The last time you kidnapped the crown prince, didn't you want to protect him and not let Yan Hong succeed?"
Silent nodded, then shook her head again.
"It's true that I'm not all the way with Yan Hong, but the reason for kidnapping Prince Chu Yun is not what you think. Jing Wuyin said: "My thoughts at that time were very simple, but I didn't want Chu Shengrui to enter Anjing City." I even want to make Southern Tang and Chu Yun hostile, and will not send troops to intervene in the Chu Wei War. But after knowing what Yan Hong did, he knew that he was wrong......"
Zhang Nan listened to the silence and confided in his heart, only feeling speechless for a while.
This idea is really simple, and it is outrageously simple. It can be seen from Yan Hong's actions that the demons of the radical faction don't care what others think at all, all they have to do is to confuse the water. destroyed the Chu Yun delegation in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty and killed the crown prince, no matter how it was explained in the end, the Southern Tang side could not get out of it.
For the sake of the agreement, it is impossible for the demons to leave the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If the demons don't come out, even if the Southern Tang Dynasty sends troops, no matter which party they help, they will be cannon fodder. Only when the power of demons intervenes, it is possible to get a share of the confrontation between Chu and Wei.
The demons didn't care what would happen to the Southern Tang Dynasty, all they wanted was a justifiable reason to break the agreement. And Prince Chu Yun's attack in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty is obviously a good material. Whether it is to say that Wei Wuguo planted an army to break out, or to preemptively strike in the face of Chu Yun's anger, many reasons can be derived from it.
Jing Wuyin kidnapped the prince and Yan Hong attacked the mission convoy, although the principles are different, but if someone has a heart to operate from it, there is not much difference in nature.
In Zhang Nan's view, the simplicity is not only silent, but the demons are even more taken for granted.
It is possible for the demon's operational scheme to succeed, but there must be two prerequisites. One is that the agreement is highly binding, and the other is that they have absolute power. But these two premises are in the hands of Jianlou.
Before Zhang Nan reprimanded Yuan Yansheng, he was actually referring to Sang scolding Huai's metaphor for the Southern Tang Demon. Thinking about breaking the binding rules, and hoping that the binding rules can bring them benefits, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world.
But then again, you can't say that the demons are stupid. In Zhang Nan's memory, no matter in the past or present life, there are not a few people who have such a dream and put it into practice, and there are many powerful people among them. No matter how simple the truth is, what can be done if some people don't want to believe it.
Jing Wuyin looked at Zhang Nandao and said, "I live a very comfortable life in Nantang, and I don't want to make changes." But because I have been comfortable for so long, I don't know how to protect it. I invite you here today because I really want to ask you for advice. ”
Zhang Nan picked up his wine glass and sipped it lightly.
Judging from the current contact, Jing Wuyin is the kind of demon who has no ambition and just wants to live a stable life. After all, there is only one thing this demon wants, peace. Zhang Nan is willing to deal with such a demon, but how many layers of sincerity the other party has, it is not so easy to judge.
On the other hand, the other party really wants to be so simple, which also makes Zhang Nan a little worried. Once you cooperate, there will be no risk of pig teammates.
"Oh, yes. As if she had just remembered something, Jing Wuyin said, "I really want to find you, but I am not the one who really wants to invite you today." It's Moon Mountain, our demon king. ”
Poof, Zhang Nan squirted out a mouthful of wine.
Ma egg, simple hair, this bastard is more cunning than anyone else.
"But he won't come, and I'll only be invited to the feast. Jing Wuyin added.
Zhang Nan glared at Jing Wuyin angrily and said, "They are all smart people, don't play dumb riddles." If I'm not mistaken, your demon king is on the surface, and you're all the way. But in private, the goal is the same as Yanhong. ”
Jing Wuyin's eyes flashed a little brightly: "How did Mr. know?"
"You kidnap the crown prince, Yan Hong attacks the convoy, without that person's acquiescence, none of you can do it. And we didn't come back after you tied up, so we must have been hindered by others. Except for the demon king, no one else can do this. ”
Jing Wuyin nodded: "What Mr. said is not bad. ”
Zhang Nan snorted: "As the guardian of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a mask is a must. At least in the eyes of the Southern Tang Dynasty monarch and all the subjects who knew about that existence, your demon king should be better than you. ”
"He's pretending, I'm real. Silent said: "What Yueshan and Yanhong are trying to do is the way to bring about their own destruction. But I couldn't convince it, let alone stop it. So, I need your help. ”
"Help what?" Zhang Nan seemed to be very useless and said: "The people from the Sword Tower are in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it should be more useful to find them than me." ”
"I've looked for Xue Binghan. The silent answer surprised Zhang Nan.
Jing Wuyin said: "Xue Binghan promised to help, but I don't trust him, and I can't trust him." ”
"I'm trustworthy?" Zhang Nan smiled.
"It's worth it. Jing Wuyin affirmed: "I know the habits of Prince Chu Shengrui, you can even accept him, it can be seen that you are sincere, so ......"
"Stop!" Zhang Nan was so crooked.
It's quite a lofty topic, but it suddenly tastes bad. What is habit, what is acceptable, I accept a ghost, I accept.
"Even if you trust me, what can I do? Help you kill your demon king?" Zhang Nan didn't want to go around the bend anymore, so he simply went straight in.
Jing Wuyin didn't answer directly, glanced at Zhang Nan, and said very abruptly: "Yueshan has a secret, which is enough to shake the big secret of Chu Yun and Southern Tang. If the gentleman knew, he might know how to do it. ”
"It seems like a lot of fun to hear. Zhang Nan pursed his lips with disdain, feeling that this silence was just a trick.
Jing Wuyin leaned forward, his voice was lowered to the extreme, and he said something to Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan's face gradually changed, and he looked at Jing Wuyin in disbelief, and he didn't relax for a long time.
"It seems that you understand, and it seems that you understand more than I do. Jing Wuyin was also a little surprised, but more relieved: "Since this is the case, then please sir." If you have any needs, you can always come to this restaurant to find me. I was not there, so I left a message to the shopkeeper. ”
Without waiting for Zhang Nan to speak, Jing Wuyin had already left.
Zhang Nan's face was not so ugly, he sat there and was silent for a while, and suddenly picked up the wine jug and poured two large sips.
"Okay, since you let Lao Tzu get involved in this game of chess, it's up to you how to play!"
Zhang Nan got up and walked down the restaurant and strode out.
