Chapter 149: The Land of the Alliance, the Moon Pavilion
Lin Jiafeng's words all pointed directly to Zhou Daoan's weakness, and it was also his biggest secret.
"What's more, your kung fu of firing stones with a snap of your fingers is not the Zhou family's mastery! Therefore, Brother Zhou should not think about pushing the matter to the family inheritance of the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If you don't have a convincing statement on this point, I'm afraid that as soon as the rumors arrive, you will be the first to be investigated. When the time comes, will you be able to keep your secret? ”
I see. Lin Jiafeng really didn't completely relax his vigilance, or rather, he was still holding back his strength to win back a city from his hands.
Indeed, Zhou Daoan's experience of "coming back from the dead" has too many loopholes. After all, it was an excuse he had just been reborn and didn't understand the situation yet, so he made up an excuse in a hurry. Right now, even if he already understands the world, it will not be easy to perfect the previous lie.
Lin Jiafeng is right, he is involved in such a major matter, if the imperial court mobilizes forces to investigate thoroughly, then his secret really can't withstand several investigations. Even if he is a child of a family and has the endorsement of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as long as a "sea clan" hat is buttoned down, he can't shelter him.
Regarding this, Zhou Daoan has not thought about it. When he felt that he was faintly involved in a big event, he thought that his secret might be "picked up" by someone. And the best thing he can do is not to make up for this lie, but to let others dispel suspicions about him.
When he received the invitation last night, Zhou Daoan was inferring how things would go. What Lin Jiafeng said today is also one of his many presets. It's not the best preset, but it's not the worst.
In this regard, Zhou Daoan deliberated several ways to deal with it, and with his own speculation, the worst way is to explain, cover up, or deny it. And the best way is to "encircle Wei and save Zhao". It's like two sides playing Go, your big dragon is trapped, the situation is passive, and you just keep falling into the whole work, and you will only fall into the quagmire. Only by opening another enclave and involving can we have a chance to get out of the way.
At this moment, Lin Jiafeng's eyes were already full of amusement when he looked at Zhou Daoan, as if he was waiting for Zhou Daoan to come up with some excuse to continue to prevaricate.
"Brother Lin is right. I'm well aware that I've only been involved in this by accident, but I can't convince anyone about it at the moment. My secret can't be released to the public for the time being, so if you want to keep this secret and get yourself out of it, you can only rely on you, Brother Lin. ”
When he said this, Zhou Daoan looked serious and serious, but the wording made Lin Jiafeng's eyebrows rise, as if he had heard something extremely funny-
"Me? Ha, is Brother Zhou joking? How can I help you hide your secret? You know, I'm a rumor, and I'm checking someone like Brother Zhou who has a secret! ”
"Brother Lin said with a smile, you and I are a cooperative relationship, and in the future, we may also be friends. Therefore, I believe that Brother Lin, as the head of Yuzhang County, can still use the resources in your hands to cover up for me. Even, if you give me an 'informant' identity, you will say that I am your supernumerary member. ”
"Cooperation? Do we have a deep friendship? Do you want to get a 'microphone' identity? Why should I give it to you? Lin Jiafeng seems to understand the meaning of "informant" - it turns out that the informant is called a microphone here.
"Brother Lin, don't forget, if the Wind Messenger wants to deal with me, do you want to get something from me, or just kill me? I guess it's the former! That is, in any case, I have the opportunity to speak and plead......"
Zhou Daoan's expression was calm, and he looked directly at Lin Jiafeng: "When the time comes, I will just lose the car to protect the handsome, for the sake of my life, I will say the secret - believe me, the matter of 'coming back from the dead' will not be a problem."
"I do get into unforeseen trouble because of this. But what about you, Brother Lin? Please think about it, when my problem is solved, will the Lord Wenfeng let you go? You must know that you are the person in charge of Yuzhang County, and Liuyue Pavilion is your territory. Xu Zhongping met with important people here, and may even have met the spies of the Sea Clan, you don't say that you will capture them in one fell swoop, but let them slip away from your territory unharmed, Brother Lin, you said, if you hear the wind, what will you think?
"Yes, Xu Zhongping has coverers, and these coverers may even be advanced in cultivation, but will this alleviate the doubts of the Lord Wenfeng? He wasn't there, so I don't know what you did! ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiafeng's face suddenly became difficult to look at. Because of Zhou Daoan's words, he also accurately found his weakness.
To put it bluntly, when Xu Zhongping came to Yuzhang, Lin Jiafeng did not arrest him, he just wanted to fish. But the fish was not caught, and the net was broken, which made him appear greedy and incompetent. Although, the long-term line was also instructed by his superiors, although his superiors also underestimated Xu Zhongping's ability, and he didn't expect that there would be the Sea Clan involved...... However, the superiors just put forward the requirements, isn't it you Lin Jiafeng who will implement the specific implementation? He can't run away from this pot.
Why was Lin Jiafeng so anxious and went to torture Zhou Daoan in person? Because of the improper arrangement of the impatience, he was counterattacked by Zhou Daoan twice? Aren't you in a hurry to make up for it and make it off? At the moment, although he has found out the clues of the Sea Clan, it is not that he has done nothing, but in fact, whether it is Xu Zhongping, the people who met him, or the fine work of the Sea Clan, there is still no trace. If he doesn't perform well in the future, his superiors will not let him go.
In other words, he was only taking a breath for a while.
Originally, he suddenly attacked Zhou Daoan today, but he also held the hope of what happened, and wanted to make another breakthrough from Zhou Daoan. It's a pity that after several confrontations, Zhou Daoan has completely grasped his mentality, and he understands him better than the other party understands Zhou Daoan.
However, Zhou Daoan also understands that if he wants to maximize his interests at the moment, he will never force the other party, which will only bury deeper and deeper grievances. Cooperation and mutual benefit are king!
Seeing that Lin Jiafeng's face became more and more ugly, Zhou Daoan knew that he couldn't say anything to death anymore, so he changed his words-
"On the contrary, if Brother Lin accepts me as an 'informant'...... No, microphones! This responsibility is no longer borne by you alone, Brother Lin, I can help you. My analysis last time was very helpful to you, right? In addition, you also know that after I 'came back from the dead', my cultivation has changed with each passing day, and the Zhou family behind me will be a great help to you, Brother Lin. After all, Brother Lin chose to serve the imperial court in order to make a difference, right? ”
Zhou Daoan's words are accurate again, Lin Jiafeng, as a rumor, has limited loyalty to the imperial court. Like the Lin family, Lin Jiafeng's experience and experience mean that he will not have too much trust in anyone except for himself and the team established by his subordinates - otherwise he will not develop the habit of talking to himself without anyone to talk to......
But these are still empty checks, the weight is not heavy enough, whether it is himself or the Zhou family, in the eyes of Lin Jiafeng, the weight is not enough to exceed the imperial court and the Lin family, so he added the biggest weight-
"My secret, to put it bluntly, is just an accident, whether you believe it or not, Brother Lin, I can tell you first......"
Then, Zhou Daoan told the story of "Peach Blossom Spring" again, but he now knows a lot about the situation of this world, so the story he made up is more in line with the setting of this world, such as the immortal old man of Peach Blossom Spring, and in the description, he went to Wanshou Xianzun, one of the twelve immortals under the legendary Daozun seat of "Taishangjiao", because the legend says that his old man is about the same as Shou Xinggong, and he is closely related to Tao.
"So, I'm doing things for the immortals now, and this body cultivation is also derived from this. The most important thing is that I can 'come back from the dead' because of the elixir given by the immortals, which can cure all kinds of incurable diseases, if I can still serve the immortals in the future, it will not be difficult to ask for another elixir......"
The implication of these words is too obvious! As expected, Lin Jiafeng's breathing suddenly became heavy!
What is the greatest wish of his heart? In terms of getting ahead, it is only the second place! The first thing is to cure yourself of this strange disease! This is the source of everything he thinks is happening to him! Over the years, it has become the last thing he wants to face and want to solve!
Albinism is a genetic disease, and on the earth where Zhou Daoan lived in his previous life, this disease is also incurable. In this world, although the "tech tree" has a different emphasis, it has not reached this height in medicine.
But these worlds are okay with this disease, it doesn't mean that the ark can't do it! It can send a person to a different plane, whether it is virtual or real, and can put one's soul into another body...... Do you want to say that Dana with such ability will not cure some terminal diseases?
Moreover, when Zhou Daoan visited the "mall" of the ark before, he also saw some people consignment of some finished medicines, including those for cancer and AIDS...... Perhaps this is what another high-level ferryman did. In short, these super potions with only N+ grades are also frighteningly expensive. Zhou Daoan didn't seem to see anything for albinism in his impression, but if he could make a bounty request (this function is not yet open to IN-level ferrymen, it is estimated that it will only be available in the future), he should be able to buy it.
"It's done!"
Without waiting for Zhou Daoan to say anything more, Lin Jiafeng couldn't wait to speak! There's no way, he can't refuse what Zhou Daoan, this bastard, said! To say that he does not believe ...... But Zhou Daoan did "come back from the dead" again (but the body is dead, which has been repeatedly confirmed by the county government and the county government), so he can't believe it!
So, Lin Jiafeng was tied to the chariot by Zhou Daoan. And in order to show his sincerity, Zhou Daoan also returned the "wooden hand" belonging to Lin Jiafeng that he carried with him to the other party. Since the loss of that magic weapon, Lin Jiafeng's left hand can only carry an ordinary prosthetic limb...... Now, he can be regarded as regaining his full strength.
