Chapter 170: Wisdom and Calculation
Chen Shuzhi returned to his room from the eldest prince, but there was already a person sitting there waiting for him. It's very interesting, this person's outfit is the same as he was just now, he is also dressed in green clothes, and he is dressed as a subordinate, and he uses a hood to block his face tightly.
Seeing that Uncle Chen came back, the man took off his hood, and it was Wang Xing, the second son of Luoyang City!
Uncle Chen smiled and said, "You two brothers are really interesting, the eldest brother just invited me over, and the second brother came to me again." ”
"Big brother just looked for you?" Wang Xing exclaimed, "What did he tell you?" ”
"What do you say?" Chen Shuzhi asked rhetorically, "What did you come to me for?" He, of course, had the same purpose. You are both restraining each other, and you are also looking for each other's bottom line. I don't know who was responsible for this assassination, but you already have the answer in your minds. Isn't it? ”
Wang Xing was silent, indeed, he didn't know about the eldest prince, but Wang Xing's heart was already sure that this matter was done by the eldest prince. As for the rest of the people, he didn't think about it, and it was impossible for the third young lady; Chen Shuzhi, he has a certain suspicion, but he doesn't believe that Chen Shuzhi, who came alone, can have the ability to set off such a big storm. Only Wang Xing knew how tightly guarded Luoyang was, ordinary people, etc., without the help of the insider, they couldn't sneak in at all.
Of course, Chen Shuzhi knew that Wang Xing had confidence in his own army, which was the minimum requirement for a general. If a general can't trust his own army, how can others trust you? How do you entrust your life to your sergeants? It's a pity that Wang Xing didn't know that there was a power called "Eclipse" in the hands of the imperial court. "Eclipse" is a huge block, but there are not only a few people in Huangquanke, which integrates assassination, disguise, and lurking, this time, "Eclipse" in order to infiltrate Luoyang, it also took a lot of energy, from the day Uncle Chen arrived in Luoyang, he began to act.
Uncle Chen smiled slightly, he knew that his initial goal had been achieved. "Second son, I'm not afraid to tell you that the conditions that the eldest prince gave me just now are very tempting. If you can't offer more tempting terms than his, then I can only apologize. ”
"Hmph, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" The eyes of the second prince really revealed a majestic killing intent.
However, in the face of this murderous aura, Uncle Chen seemed indifferent. He has seen too many scenes on the battlefield, and the murderous aura condensed on the real battlefield is dozens of times thicker than that of the second son alone. "Ah......" Uncle Chen yawned boredly, "Second son, you are really not as smart as the eldest son, you know best, you don't dare to kill me, absolutely not!" Unless you want the whole of Luoyang to give you a funeral, you should understand that the imperial court is lacking a reason to move troops against Luoyang, and once I die, it will be enough to protect the crime of unfavorable protection. ”
The murderous aura of the second son suddenly reined in, what Chen Shuzhi said was not bad at all, he really didn't dare to make a move against Qin Cha. Unless he wants Luoyang to suffer from war, or is willing to completely dedicate the entire royal family to the imperial court.
"What good did my brother give you?" Wang Xing asked again.
"Hahaha," Chen Shuzhi laughed out loud, "Second son, I am now a businessman who waits for a price to sell, do you think the businessman will tell the buyer his hole cards?" You better go back and think about it, I know that you are much more sincere than the eldest prince, but in this matter, he is more courageous than you. By the way, I'll ask you to help me investigate, okay? ”
"Hmph," Wang Xing slammed a roll of paper on the table, "Here you go, I really don't understand, why are you so interested in Li Yixuan, I have already read the information, and there is no problem at all." Moreover, I also sent someone to go to the desert, but there was a 'desert boy', and the time coincided. ”
Chen Shuzhi didn't answer, of course he knew that "Li Yixuan" couldn't be the person he is now. However, he couldn't tell the second son, and it was good to use this matter to involve his energy. Looking up at the news on the paper carefully and carefully, Chen Shuzhi gradually condensed his brows into the word "Sichuan".
This news is really faked too perfectly, it is really perfect, and it is not a statement of details, and if all the big and small things from birth to the present are faked, a discerning person will see at a glance that it is false. And in this information, there are not only some personal information, but also some vague words, half real and half false, which makes people completely indistinguishable, if Chen Shuzhi didn't know the fake identity of "Li Yixuan" a long time ago, I am afraid that he would have been deceived by him.
It's too real, and it's useless, Chen Shuzhi put the file on the table with a little disappointment, and said: "Don't underestimate anyone, since you don't know his purpose, you must always be wary of him." ”
"I know his purpose." The second son said, "The eyeliner I ambushed beside the eldest brother has been clearly explored, Li Yixuan once found the eldest brother and wanted to borrow our family's "Chalcedony Gong in the Stone", and later, I found the younger sister, thinking about the same thing, this matter is not a secret in the eldest brother's mansion." ”
"Oh?" Chen Shuzhi was very interested in this news, "You tell me in detail." ”
The second son didn't know why, but it was not a big deal, so he told Chen Shuzhi all the news he heard.
Uncle Chen suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Interesting, interesting." This person is so interesting, second son, thank you, but, again, your brother gave more weight than you, go back and think about it. ”
After sending the second son away, the laughing expression on Chen Shuzhi's face disappeared, replaced by a sad expression. Of course, he didn't worry about the second son, he already knew the purpose of the second son's here. It's not so much to talk to himself as to use his own performance to tell himself that he is "not smart".
It is true that he is not as smart as the eldest prince, but this is his disadvantage and his advantage. Because from the perspective of the imperial court, it is very hoped that the city lord of Luoyang will be "not smart". But as the eldest prince believed, Luoyang and the imperial court could only be a cooperative relationship, and it was impossible to submit to the leadership of the imperial court.
Even so, the ambition of the imperial court is indelible, and it may not matter if the partners are stupid, but the people in control are too smart, which is not a good thing for them. The second prince is gambling, betting on the ambitions of the imperial court, as long as the imperial court has the idea of annexing Luoyang, they will not allow the eldest prince to become the lord of the city; The eldest prince is also gambling, the court is worried about external troubles, he is gambling on the courage of the court and does not dare to covet the prosperity of Luoyang, rather than completely turning his face with himself, it is better to cooperate, and both parties benefit!
Knowing what they think, it's not hard to set up a strategy. The difficult thing is people who can't see their ideas clearly, such as "Li Yixuan"! What the hell is he trying to do? Is "Chalcedony in the Stone" a cover-up, or is it his real purpose?
Chen Shuzhi lay on the bed and thought hard, it seemed that he was destined to be sleepless tonight
