Chapter 131: Happy Cooperation
"You've been here for the past two days, but you've missed a lot of things. I have brought Mu You to meet our leader, and I have reached a consensus that the entire Shannan Dongdao will be more prosperous under our rule in the future. Hahahaha. The lord laughed.
I looked at him with disdain: "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, do you think it will last long if he wins what he has won through skillful gains?" ”
"Well, that's right. Therefore, our leader told me to find a way to win the hearts and minds of the people. The lord said slowly: "Now, after years of war, the people are not able to make a living, coupled with the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people are miserable. Fortunately, in our Xiangzhou, since Mu You took office, the behavior of all officials has been strictly regulated, and there is nothing too out of line, and it is already a peaceful place. ”
I puffed: "Since the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can they betray the Tang Dynasty and be your slaves?" ”
"Hey, you can't say that, the people are now grateful not to the court, but to the Qincha, if Mu You brings them to us together, it would be the best."
Hearing him mention Xiao Mu, the anger in my heart spontaneously arose: "Then you go to Mu You!" Why are you talking to me about this? ”
"Can you tell me who those spies Mu Youxuan are?" The Lord asked.
When I heard him ask, I was secretly happy in my heart, it seems that Xiao Mu hasn't told him about the secret agent.
I smiled coldly: "Which spies did he choose?" How would I know? Didn't he say it all? I'm just a third-rate commodity, and I'm not very useful on weekdays. ”
"Well, why bother to be presumptuous?" The Lord comforted: "You can stand here and talk to me without changing your face, this has already shown your extraordinary courage. Although you don't seem to have any extraordinary skills, you have your own judgment and brains, so to speak, you are a qualified agent! ”
"A qualified agent?" I smiled: "Since you are a secret agent, will you easily betray your own organization?" Don't say I don't know, and even if I knew who the others were, I wouldn't tell you. Kill if you want, don't give me nonsense! ”
"Hey, this is the New Year's Day, don't kill it at every turn! I am a person who advocates governing the world with benevolence and righteousness, whatever you want, whatever you ask, I will let you get what you want! ”
Request? Hehe, Feng Liulang did not hesitate to become their person for a box of jewelry, and I don't know how much information he provided to them that damaged Xiangzhou, but as a result, the box of jewelry did not dare to be used, and once it had no use value, it was destroyed. Wouldn't cooperating with these villains be self-defeating, and your reputation would be lost.
Seeing that I was silent, Master Xiang probably thought I was thinking about it seriously, and smiled arrogantly: "What? Don't worry too much, just say. If I can satisfy you now, I will be satisfied immediately, and if I can't satisfy you now, when we master Xiangzhou, we will definitely help you realize your wishes. ”
Wish? I looked at Wang Jiajia's grave in front of me: "I have only one wish at present, I want to kill Mu You and avenge Jiajia!" ”
Lord Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Sure enough, he is a person who values love and righteousness!" Okay, I can help you make this wish come true. ”
I don't believe it anymore: "Help me? Hmph, aren't you allied now? You helped me kill him, how can I cooperate? ”
Lord Xiang thought with his hands behind his back: "Our leader said that Mu You is unfathomable, and his words must not be fully believed, once he gets the real power of Xiangzhou through him, this person will not be able to stay." When that time comes, we'll leave him to you to deal with it yourself. ”
"Leave it to me? Can I cut him with a thousand cuts myself? ”
"Of course."
"Hehe, what will you do to me then?"
Lord Xiang stared at me and smiled slightly: "You and I are destined, as long as you do things for me well, how can I harm you?" You should know that once a regime is established, there must always be a few henchmen. You are usually honest and responsible, and you do things for us, and no one will doubt you. You will always be our spy for as long as you want! ”
"What's the difference between that and now? Aren't I a spy now? Why do you want to turn around and do things for you? ”
Lord Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "I'll just say it, you have a lot of ideas, and you understand this world better than others." But why don't you understand the truth of 'those who know the times are handsome'?
Now that you are a secret agent, what do you get? Mu You, he can abandon you at any time, and you still have to work for him? Besides, he's cooperated with us, do you still need you to deal with me?
And being our secret agent is different, you are still a small seller of tofu on the surface, but behind the scenes, we can give you endless glory and wealth. You can secretly buy a house in the county next to you, with fine clothes and food, and a few beautiful concubines. Men, they should enjoy life.
If you are not willing to live so secretly and want to get ahead, that's fine. We will use tricks to make you a hero, and when the time comes, it is still okay to give you a position such as a county secretary and a chief bookkeeper in the county government, and other high-ranking officials will have to rely on your ability to slowly climb up. ”
Jiajia, did you hear that? This man is trying to win me over in every possible way.
I bowed deeply to Wang Jiajia's grave, and then smiled at Lord Xiang: "Lord Xiang really thinks carefully. I don't know what I should pay under so much sweetness? ”
"Didn't I say that? Help me find out the rest of your Sky Eye agents. The lord smiled all over his face: "I have always advocated making the best use of people, and you can't complete the big task assigned to you, so I will give you this task."
Whatever method you use, be sure to help me find out the list of other Sky Eye agents. When the time comes, I will immediately fulfill my promise, first give you the wealth you deserve, and when we control Xiangzhou, I will give you an official and tie Mu You to you at your disposal! ”
I hesitated for a moment, secretly thinking in my heart, what mansion beauties, what official positions, these things that everyone longed for, how could they be easily obtained? It's nothing more than temptation.
And the reason why Lord Xiang has kept me until now is only because, so far, he has only confirmed the identity of my Tianyan secret agent, and is eager to find out other secret agents through my hands, that's all.
"What? Do you want me to swear to God? The lord asked again.
"Okay, I'll do my best to help you check. However, when the time comes, let me kill Mu You first, and then I can hand over the list of secret agents to you. During this time, you can't let people spy on me, I don't like to be watched. "I put forward the conditions.
"Well, since you are willing to be our secret agent, of course I have to fully trust you. Mu You is insidious and cunning, the secret agent he chose is not easy to check, it should take a long time, when the time comes, we have obtained the control of Xiangzhou from him, and he has no use value, if you want to kill it, kill it! ”
"Okay, then...... Happy working together! ”
I reached out and gave him a high-five.
Hehe, cooperation, thinking beautifully, I am a native of Xiangzhou, if I want to do things for the Tubo people, to betray my hometown, to betray the Tang Dynasty, I will never be able to do it. I'm just missing a backer now, a backer who can help me kill Xiao Mu.
It can be seen that the lord of Xiang does not particularly trust Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu, he is an ambitious person, how can he succumb to the Tubo people as a puppet. If I instigate between them and let them eat dogs, wouldn't I be able to fight for a glimmer of life for the people of Xiangzhou? Jiajia, you must bless me in the spirit of heaven!
After saying goodbye to Wang Jiajia, I went home and simply freshened up and changed into clean clothes. Looking at the deserted courtyard, he thought of Lei Thorn Shi's request, and didn't dare to stay too long for a moment.
After asking for people a few times, I finally found the Mu Mansion, and observed left and right for a while, and found that no one was watching, I don't know if the Lord of Xiang really trusted, or he had already installed eyeliner in the Mu Mansion, so there was no need to make another move to arrange someone to keep an eye on him outside the mansion.
I gently knocked on the door three times, and the door soon opened, and the money housekeeper who I had met when Mu Niangzi was married last time appeared in front of me again. He was dressed in a colorful outfit, holding a handkerchief in his hand and slightly covering his nose, as if I had a bad smell on me. However, he is very fragrant, if he is wearing women's clothes, with his clear eyebrows and graceful demeanor, I am afraid that he will be mistaken for the daughter of which family.
"Steward Money, I'...... I want to find Mu Niangzi. "I was a little nervous for a while, and I didn't know if it would be too abrupt to come to the door suddenly.
"How did you come? My master has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on in. He complained in a small voice, then moved two steps to the side, and when I entered the courtyard, he looked left and right, and quickly closed the door.
"Waited for me for a long time? Mu Niangzi knows I'm coming? I asked, surprised.
Steward Qian's face was full of pride: "That is, who is the master of my family?" In this Xiangzhou city, there is nothing she doesn't know. ”
I don't want to ask more, but I look at the whole courtyard, which is spacious and neat, very quiet, and the doors and windows of each room are closed, and it doesn't look too luxurious.
There was a horse's cry in the northwest corner, it was estimated that it was a stable, and there was a man in black in the corner next to him who was chopping firewood.
He probably realized I was looking at him, and turned to look at me, so scared that I almost tripped over.
Ouyang Daxia!
That's right, isn't he Ouyang Daxia? To be precise, he should be the number one killer in the rivers and lakes, Black Shadow! He...... He was dressed in a cloth shirt, and he was actually chopping wood here!
"What are you looking at? Let's go! Steward Qian urged, and walked towards the front courtyard gate.
I just knew that I just entered the door, this is just the front hall, but also a courtyard, it should be the place where the maid and the lady of the house live, I heard that the general big family is a few in and out of the courtyard, Mu Niangzi is estimated to be inside.
After entering the second gate, the scenery inside is really bright:
The surrounding houses are carved and painted, the eaves are high, and the house in front of it is even pasted with red couplets, and there are red lanterns hanging between the eaves, which looks very festive.
There is also a grass pavilion in the center of the courtyard, a grape trellis on the other side, and a swing shelf next to it, dotted with various plants, especially a few red plums next to the grass pavilion, which are very dazzling in the sunlight.
"Master, Li Jianghu asks to see!" Steward Qian changed his arrogant expression in front of me and shouted softly to the main room.
