Chapter 141: Song Shan's Lobbying
This time, Wu Feng successfully convinced Xue Dingye, the young master of Tianzi Peak, and made another contribution to the Iwakura Palace, but he was only rewarded by Deng Aihou, and recorded his merits in the merit book, but he was not rewarded again.
Wu Feng also knew that promotion could not soar into the sky like a rocket shot by a giant fire crossbow, so he didn't mind.
It's just that if you want to go to the white-clothed camp to take office, you can't do it without the slightest preparation. First of all, we must consider how to subdue that group of arrogant soldiers, and secondly, we must consider how to make meritorious achievements through the white-clothed battalion.
Of course, he could let Yun Hailan lie in the white jade coffin, and use the shrunken white jade coffin to easily defeat any master in the white-clothed camp, and even let everyone go together. But if you do so, you are likely to face problems that you cannot explain to Deng Aihou.
In other words, you can't be an enemy, you can only outwit it.
Wu Feng found Song Shannei again, and the two had a secret conversation in the box of a tavern in Jifeng Town, on Wu Feng's fiefdom.
"Shanuchi, what kind of character is Xin Standby, the deputy commander of the white-clothed battalion?" Wu Feng said as he sent a large piece of barbecue meat to Song Shannei's bowl.
Song Shannei said: "Xin Standby is the scholar of the hall master, handsome, gentle, and does not bully others. It is rumored that before he went to the white-clothed camp, he was a prostitute of the temple master, but there is no real evidence. However, if you don't go, he will be the number one real power person in the white-clothed camp, and now when it comes to his own vital interests, he must have been bought by the prince, which is nothing to say. ”
Wu Feng asked again, "What about cultivation?"
Song Shanuchi replied: "Twenty years old this year. As for the realm, it's probably close to the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm......"
Wu Feng was at ease.
Reaching the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm at the age of twenty does not mean how good the talent is, after all, turning the dragon to the next level of the Zhenye Realm is an insurmountable moat, and most of the martial cultivators who claim to be talented will not be able to step through it in their lives. Only by stepping through this moat can you become a real powerful master.
However, Wu Feng's strength now when he has just entered the Blood Exchange Realm is close to two great realms compared to Xin Standby, and he is not enough for him to suppress with one hand.
But Deng Aihou is not a fool, if he can listen to his son's words and let Wu Feng go to the white-clothed camp, so as to test Wu Feng, there must be a way to break the situation.
"So...... How do you have a relationship with him, and what is your favorite about this person?"
"Friendship? He is loyal to the hall master and has good friendships with other people, but he is not particularly affectionate...... As for hobbies, he was born as a scholar, and of course what he likes is pen, ink, paper, inkstone, calligraphy and painting. Song Shan Nei said.
Hearing the words of loyalty to the hall master, Wu Feng could hardly suppress the joy in his heart.
As I expected.
Deng Sanshi is giving credit to himself. This kid is simply less thoughtful than Xue Dingye, the young master of Tianzi Peak.
"Yamauchi. I ask you to help me take care of this matter, so I can say this......" Wu Feng attached himself to Song Shannei's ear, and secretly instructed the opportunity.
He believed that Song Shannei would do his best to do things for himself, because now Song Shannei's identity was the deputy sent to him by Deng Aihou, and the two were like-minded.
When it comes to friends, the most important thing is trust. Only by handing over your back to the other party can you exchange the other party's sincerity.
Wu Feng took out several things from the Qiankun bag, including the dragon tail inkstone produced in Wuyuan, the snow wolf pen produced in Huzhou, and a few famous calligraphy and paintings.
The Iwakura Hall is much larger than the Valley of Forgotten Worries, and it is not strange that Wu Feng can take out such a thing as a Qiankun bag, but it shows that he, as a child of the Xie family, really has a good storage.
These things are antiquities, and the style is exquisite and elegant, but none of them are extremely valuable. Sending it out can be regarded as a bribe, or it can be regarded as nothing more than a connection with the relationship, as an introduction to further talk about things.
This degree is very important, and if you are completely open, you have to win over the other party by sending valuables, but you will be underestimated and thought that the other party is afraid of yourself. If it is a high-minded person, it will also feel that the giver is stinking of copper, and if it is a greedy person, it is likely to ask for it many times in the future and be unbearable.
"Why don't you pick one first?" Wu Feng smiled.
Song Shannei didn't even shirk it, and directly grabbed the snow wolf pen, the barrel of this pen is made of golden silk nanmu, moist and moving.
The so-called wolf pen is actually a pen made from the tail hair of a weasel instead of a real wolf.
Snow wolf is naturally a white weasel. The albino weasel is even rarer than the white wolf, and it looks very much like the cute stoat, but it is born with demonic power and is a type of demon beast.
However, this brush is the least valuable of these antiquities. Brushes are easy to fall out, unlike other antiques that can be preserved for hundreds of years, so the age of this is also limited, and it is not a self-made pen master, the value is nothing more than materials and exquisite craftsmanship, and there is no cultural value.
Song Shannei smiled and winked at Wu Feng, with a little naughty, one was to show that he knew something about antiques, and the other was to show that he was frank, and he did not deliberately refuse the service fee given to him by Wu Feng to pretend to be high, so he took the most worthless one to show that he accepted Wu Feng's heart.
Wu Feng laughed out loud and patted Song Shannei on the shoulder.
The two swept away the wine and meat, and the next day, Song Shannei quietly made an appointment with Xin Standby and started a secret conversation.
"Brother Song Family...... After three rounds of drinking, Xin Standby asked with a slight surprise: "What is the matter with you looking for me today?"
Song Shannei saw that Xin was already slightly drunk, and knew that although his cultivation was high, the amount of alcohol was not good, so he immediately said: "The younger brother has recently picked up a few things, and I want to give them to my brother to show friendship." ”
"This ......" Before Xin finished speaking, Song Shannei had already taken out the antiques.
Xin standby is hot in front of his eyes.
He has been by Deng Aihou's side for a long time, and Deng Aihou has of course rewarded him with a lot of antiques. However, the more you collect, the more you want more of antiques.
The few things that Song Shannei took out, looking at it from Xin's standby eyes, are really good. And when you are slightly drunk, it is even more difficult to resist the temptation of these treasures.
"You kid......" Xin Standby's face was hot, and his eyes were faintly shining: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and these things are not something you are willing to give away at will." Someone else asked you to do it, right?"
Xin standby is not stupid.
However, Song Shannei was not flustered, Xin was not a fool, so it was easier to talk about the later things.
"Not bad. I was invited by Mr. Xie Yi. Shizi has already told Brother Xin that he will embarrass Big Brother and Xie Yi, right?"
"Hmm......" Xin Waiter's words were vague, but seeing Song Shannei's eyes clear, as if he wanted to see his heart, he had to speak: "Little Brother Song, you and I are also friends, I don't want to hide it from you, the prince really wants to find that Xie Yi unhappy." I'm just doing what I'm told, it's hard to do, so please take the things back......"
Song Shannei waved his hand and said: "Brother Xie said, these things are just a heart, don't ask Brother Xin for help, but the younger brother has a word, I don't know if Brother Xin is willing to listen?"
"Say it. Xin said.
"Brother Xin thinks that although Junshi Xie is now the favorite of the hall master, the prince is the next generation of the hall master. Xie Junshi can't fight the prince no matter what, right?" asked Song Shannei.
Xin Standby sighed: "Not bad." Inseparable relatives, the prince is the flesh and blood of the hall master anyway, what favored minister can compare?"
Although he liked the treasures brought by Song Shannei very much, when it came to this matter, he felt that he could only give up, and he could not be caught between Wu Feng and Deng Sanshi and become a victim of the struggle.
Song Shannei said: "Brother Xin forgot one thing. But any young master, whether it is the crown prince, the prince or the senior brother, the status is the most embarrassing. The first leader must not only cultivate the ability of the other party, so that he can succeed smoothly after a hundred years or abdication, but also prevent the other party from having too much power and rising up to seize power. In the past 10 million years of history, the successor can't bear the loneliness, and there are fewer people who have raised troops to seize power?"
When Xin Standby heard this, he was shocked in the bottom of his heart. Not to mention anything else, Li Qing of the Sanhe Sword Sect imprisoned his grandfather Li Yi to seize the position of the master of the sect, and Ma Boyong, the army of Beifu, also exiled his master, these are all characters in recent years, Li Qing has now turned into loess for some years, but Ma Boyong is rising like a new star.
Song Shannei said: "So the best way is to cultivate a young favored minister, make him jealous of the young master, and let the young master grow up in the battle with the other party." This process will take many years, and unless the first leader is really old or wants to give up power, it is impossible for the young master to truly win......"
Xin Standby was relieved.
With Deng Aihou's power**, Deng Rong, who had just killed himself, really held the power of Iwakura Hall completely in his hands, how could he be willing to let it go now?
Deng Sanshi will never be able to hold very much power in the near future.
For the sake of the dragon's work decades later, now being held by Deng Sanshi as a gun, can it really be rewarded?
