"I think that human affection is important, but Jinyiwei's affection is unusual, the longer this friendship lasts, the easier it is to dislike each other, you must know that we are a family of rivers and lakes after all, and it is incompatible with the officialdom of the imperial court."

Yu Wenyu said solemnly: "Therefore, we should quickly turn this friendship into a benefit, the connection between the East Palace must be severed, but we can show that we are at ease, and let the Jinyi Guard know that we still have a way out, so that they will be willing to make a deal." ”

After saying this, Yu Wenzhao's cold face rarely had a faint smile, he glanced at the outside of the courtyard, and said again: "Just now, your fourth brother also suggested that his father cut off the connection with the East Palace, but he said that he would inform Jinyiwei of this matter and show his sincerity, what do you think?" ”

Yu Wenyu said solemnly: "No, it is not wise to cut off the back road before the agreement is completed, the words of the fourth brother are too extreme, if Jin Yiwei chooses to pinch us because of this, it is easy for us to fall into passivity." ”

Yu Wenzhao didn't say anything, Yu Wenyu gritted his teeth and said: "Father, even though Jin Yiwei didn't take this opportunity to take advantage of the overall situation, but this great favor, my father has thought about how to repay Jin Yiwei, and my son still says that Jin Yiwei's favor is not easy to take." ”

"You approve of the deal with Jinyiwei, but you oppose selling them a favor at this time, so what do you think we should want?" Yu Wenzhao asked rhetorically.

Yu Wenyu was silent for a long time, his eyes condensed, and he said word by word: "Official body." ”

As soon as these two words came out, the air in the study was immediately quiet, and after a while, Yuwen Zhao spoke: "Why?" ”

"The Yuwen family is not short of money, martial arts, power and friends, the only thing we lack is power."

Yu Wenyu said coldly: "On the rivers and lakes, even if the martial arts are world-famous, they are just wooden houses, and they will fall down as soon as the wind blows, only power is the real fortress, and this can only be given by the imperial court." ”

Yu Wenzhao looked at his second son, and asked in the same cold voice: "You are really a big breath, official body-hehe, do you think that Jinyiwei will agree?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not."

Yu Wenyu said calmly: "If they refuse, it will be nothing more than that we don't know the height of the sky, and the matter will not be resolved, but if they agree, it is equivalent to Jinyiwei offering us a higher price, in this way, Jinyiwei does not owe us affection, in turn, we owe him." ”

"What you said is interesting," Yu Wenzhao's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "If you don't sell the favor of Jinyi Wei, you have to owe them affection, what is the reason." ”

Yu Wenyu lowered his head and bowed to the end, he said firmly: "Father, Jinyiwei is a hungry wolf, and if you get their love, you will inevitably feel that it is an eyesore over time, this is the way to take trouble, but if we owe them their love, in this way, they can rest assured of us." ”

After the words fell, the air was silent for a long time, and Yuwen Zhao finally said: "After you go down, get ready, in the past two days, the messenger of Jinyiwei will come to the door, you go with me to receive it." ”

Yu Wenyu was shocked when he heard this, and his face was irrepressibly happy, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, father!" ”

In the end, the Yuwen family did not change its previous strategy, and after Jinyiwei sent Yan Feng, one of the thousand households, as an envoy, the two sides quickly skipped the process of expressing their positions and entered the stage of interest negotiation.

The appetite of the Yuwen family is terrifying, and as soon as they open their mouths, they want Jinyi Wei to take over the official bodies of a total of thirty-seven people, including the three existing sons of Yuwen Zhao.

Yan Feng was also frightened by the other party's lion opening his mouth at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood that the other party was expressing his position, and it was also to explore the bottom of the brocade guard.

So he was not in a hurry, and started a multi-day negotiation with the other party, before coming, Lu Hanjiang had already given the bottom line to deal with, just three words, all can be discussed.

With Jinyiwei's power in the imperial court, it doesn't matter at all to take thirty-seven seats, but the Yuwen family doing this is equivalent to exhausting all the love saved by Jinyiwei at one time.

In the long run, this would definitely be unwise, but Yan Feng seemed to vaguely guess the Yuwen family's intention to do so.

Looking at Yu Wenzhao, who was as stable as Mount Tai in front of him, and looking at his second son Yu Wenyu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, Yan Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, worthy of being a family, although he was born in the rivers and lakes, he also had a background that others could not reach.

This time, Lu Hanjiang's reaction to the Yuwen family's surrender was to accept it, and it was indeed as expected by the other party, and the conditions offered were very favorable.

It is not difficult to guess what Lord Lu thinks, the Yuwen family will serve the imperial court, which will be the best business card he will use to show to all factions in the rivers and lakes in the future.

As one of the two great existing families, Yuwen's surrender is extraordinary, which will greatly deal a blow to the natural resistance of the various factions in the rivers and lakes in the face of the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, this is the foundation of digging rivers and lakes, Yuwen is an ancient family that existed in the world a hundred years ago, and it is also the existence of power second only to Shaolin Wudang.

It can even be said that if the inextricable relationships behind the Taoist Buddhism are removed, in terms of force alone, the Yuwen family may not be weaker than Shaolin Wudang.

The effect of such a person serving the imperial court is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

This is different from the big cats and kittens who took refuge in Jinyiwei before, and the defection of the Yuwen family is enough to make most of the Jianghu knights have a doubt in their hearts, a little muttering, and even a question-

Even adding blockage to Jinyiwei every day, the Yuwen family, which has been fighting openly and secretly for decades, can be sincere, can he too?

A few days later, Jin Yiwei and the father and son of the Yuwen family finally reached a negotiation, and Jin Yiwei immediately sent a letter to the Jingshi, and at the same time sent a note to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and began to reward the sons and nephews of the Yuwen family.

And the Yuwen family also immediately issued a statement, so far they knew their way back and returned to the imperial court, and at the same time sent family masters to block the actions of the Gongsun family.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Jianghu lost its voice, and the prestige of Lu Hanjiang reached the peak of the command of the Jinyi Guard at this moment, because he completed the great cause that the previous commanders failed to do, and brought the Yuwen family, one of the forces in the rivers and lakes, under his command.

And as the central figure swept by this big wave, the Gongsun family was also shocked.

However, at this moment, Gongsun Huan, the head of the Gongsun family, is not as anxious as outsiders imagined.

Facing a group of family elders with embarrassed faces, Gongsun Huan said unhurriedly: "You don't have to worry, Yuwen is isolated from the rivers and lakes, and this time he came forward to block my Gongsun family, even Wudang may not accept his affection, what is there to fear." ”

The eldest husband, Sun Wang, said with some worry: "Family master, there are many masters of the Yuwen family, and this time I am against us, I'm afraid."

Gongsun Huan said indifferently: "It's okay, my Gongsun family is not a soft persimmon, I can stop him from coming as many people as he comes, besides, this time I just want to muddy the water, as for the victory or defeat, it is second." ”

Gongsun Wang glanced at Gongsun Huan deeply, and said seriously: "Originally, the head of the family has made up his mind, and the old man shouldn't say much, but this matter is very important. ”

Gongsun Huan slowly got up from his seat, looked at the silent eyes below, he opened his arms and clenched his fists, with an undeniable domineering look in his eyes, he smiled: "In the future, my Gongsun family will become the first and only family in the rivers and lakes, can you be satisfied with this answer?" ”
