Chapter 386: Betrayal It's all ready
Yuan Xixuan and his uncle's expressions were uncertain, and they looked up at the smiling middle-aged man opposite from time to time, and their hearts were entangled.
This middle-aged man named Zhang Zheng is a small lord under the jurisdiction of Grand Duke Zheng Xing, with the title of viscount, and his name is unknown. But he still has an identity, which makes Yuan Xixuan have to pay attention to it. This person is a messenger sent by the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, and directly stated that he can help the Yuan family solve the current mortal situation.
If it had been in the past, Yuan Xixuan would have arrested the other party a long time ago, even if he disagreed with the emperor's politics, had a conflict of interest, and betrayed the empire, he would not do anything.
But now it's different, the Yuan family is at a critical juncture of life and death, if they can't cross this pass, it's really over. No matter how loyal he was to the empire, he could not be higher than his own interests, and the reason why they disagreed with the emperor was a matter of interests in the final analysis.
These days, he has fully realized what it means to be a phoenix in distress as a chicken, and even the little people who are usually difficult on his side are walking with their heads raised in front of him, and all kinds of ugly discussions always reach his ears. What the Yuan family is over, why hurry up and find a backer, don't follow the Yuan family anymore and so on.
There is even more chaos within the aristocratic management department, and even some deputies have jumped out to prepare to seize power, blatantly talking to the people below.
For such a situation, the anger in Yuan Xixuan's heart can be imagined. But at the moment, the Yuan family is in this situation, and more than a hundred middle and high-level nobles are forced to pay debts, and he doesn't have the heart to care about them.
After getting it back from Xingchen, the Yuan family has lost more than 100 million, and the cash that can be mobilized is gone, and they are now busy dealing with the industry and territory. and the exchange of various interests.
And he knew very well in his heart that the emperor would definitely not let go of this good opportunity, and the position of the head of the aristocratic management department did not want him to continue to sit.
In this case. Xuanyuan Tianzong suddenly stretched out an olive branch, of course he would hesitate and entangle. On the one hand, the family will forever fade out of the center of power and the high-level aristocracy. On the other hand, they will betray the empire, either to protect their own interests or not to save their lives.
Seeing that Yuan Xixuan had been hesitating, Zhang Zheng spoke: "Lord Chief." I think you still haven't taken into account the severity of the matter! I think this crisis is the family being driven out of the center of power...... Actually, the actual situation is much stricter than this!"
"Hmm!" Yuan Xixuan and his uncle frowned at the same time, raising their eyes and staring at Zhang Zheng.
"Any super family. None of them have simply developed, and they have gone through countless backlashes and secret battles...... This should be clear to the Chief Officer!" Zhang Zheng said lightly.
"Hiss~" Yuan Xixuan and his uncle gasped at the same time. They already understood what the other party meant.
Almost every big family is a power center that only enters by stepping on the bones of countless people, and enemies are of course indispensable. Of course it's okay when it's beautiful. It's okay to be down. That's hard to say...... Once the uncle and a few of them are gone, it would be strange if there were no enemies to find them!
"You also know that our Xuanyuan Tianzong is not as strict as the Qiankun Emperor, and the private soldiers of the major lords are restricted...... Lord Chief, our Sect Master said that if things come to pass in the future, the Yuan family will be the ninth kingdom!"
I have to say that Zhang Zheng is a master negotiator. first expanded the crisis of the Yuan family, and then promised rich benefits. Yuan Xixuan knew. The eight kingdoms under the jurisdiction of Xuanyuan Tianzong still have a very high degree of autonomy, at least they can have an army. Therefore, after Zhang Zheng's words, the balance in their hearts has begun to tilt.
Zhang Zheng smiled and struck while the iron was hot: "Lord Chief, there have been frequent battles in the past two years, but do you know why we have not selected the second, fifth, and sixth legions as targets?"
"You?" Yuan Xixuan was stunned again, and looked at Zhang Zheng in surprise.
"The Third Legion is holding the Black Wind Fortress, we can't do anything! But the second, fifth, and sixth legions are much easier to fight than the first...... The reason why we didn't choose that place as a breakthrough point is that we have been thinking about forming an alliance with the Lord Chief!"
If it was said that before it was to know the benefits and give benefits, then the last words are oppression. Your Yuan family had better not expect the old forces to help you, once we attack those three legions, who will be able to take care of you if the old forces will take care of you!
If it were usual, with such an oppressive meaning, Yuan Xixuan would definitely not eat this set. But now it is different, the Yuan family is at the most critical juncture, and he can't resist at all.
Zhang Zheng's last sentence finally dispelled the concerns of Yuan Xixuan and his uncle, and the two glanced at each other, showing a resolute look, and nodded vigorously.
"I don't know what kind of help Xuanyuan Tianzong will give us, and what do you want us to do in the future?" made up his mind, Yuan Xixuan asked Zhang Zhang.
"Whew~" Zhang Zheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was finally done. Before he came, he kept muttering in his heart that once the negotiation failed, he would be finished, and people would never let go of a long-term hidden spy.
"Our sect master said that the one billion yuan owed by the Yuan family will be borne by us! One million yuan stone is ready...... As for what to do, the sect master said that the most important thing was to restrain Jiang Xingchen, and not let him continue to develop!" Zhang Zheng said.
Hearing that Xuanyuan Tianzong had provided one million yuan of stones, Yuan Xixuan and his uncle couldn't help but smile! A billion families were all burdened, and their Yuan family was simply unscathed.
But immediately after, the two of them smiled and retracted, one million yuan stone is not a decimal, how to transport it, and how to explain the money. The origin of the huge assets is unknown, it must be suspected, once it is found that it has betrayed the empire, then the Yuan family will usher in a catastrophe.
Of course, Zhang Zheng knew Yuan Xixuan's concerns, and immediately said: "We will temporarily get 100,000 yuan of stones, and the chief official will save the emergency first." The rest ...... In the vast mountains, there is a Yuan Stone Mine, which does not belong to the territory of any force!"
"What, Yuan Stone Mine!" Yuan Xixuan and his uncle suddenly widened their eyes, Xuanyuan Tianzong arranged it too strictly, with Yuan Stone Mine, there was a normal explanation, and this crisis of the Yuan family was really revealed.
After a while, the two of them let out a long breath and said to Zhang Zheng: "Jiang Xingchen is there, the envoy doesn't say that we will arrange it." The grudge between us and Jiang Xingchen. The whole world knows that no one would think of anything else!"
Zhang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "The sect master said. Don't rush this time..."
After a long time, Zhang Zheng walked out of the gate of Yuan's house and left in a hurry.
In the house, Yuan Xixuan and his uncle were speechless for a long time, although the final decision was made and the crisis of the Yuan family was definitely resolved, but their pressure was even greater. Betraying the empire is not a joke, once something happens, it will really be a catastrophe. There is no longer a possibility of a backhand.
"Uncle, did we really do the right thing to choose this time?" asked Yuan Xixuan.
After a little hesitation, my uncle said in a low voice: "It's not a question of right or wrong, it's that we don't have a choice!"
"Hmm!" Yuan Xixuan nodded: "Yes." We don't have a choice. That's all it can be...... However, dealing with Jiang Xingchen is not the task of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect! This field must be found, the more this is the case, the less suspicious it will be!"
Uncle said: "That's right, let's lose the money, and the contradictions with those nobles will no longer exist...... These people are not stupid, they should know that this matter must have been done by Jiang Xingchen, and it would be strange if they didn't hate him...... Isn't the star collar going to develop? Supplies and transportation are indispensable...... In two days, let's go to Hongyuan City to find Qian Liang first!"
"Still looking for Qian Liang?" Yuan Xixuan frowned. This time something happened. Qian Liang and Nanjiang Hou's cousin can be said to be almost hated to death by the Yuan family, and there is no need for you to carry the black pot, why the hell do you treat us as flood beasts, you don't even dare to look at us.
"Don't be rash!" Uncle waved his hand and said lightly: "Put the others aside first, dealing with Jiang Xingchen is the main thing!"
"I know!" Yuan Xixuan nodded and said, "After the Yuan Stone of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect arrives, I will first put the aristocratic management department in order...... Before I got off the stage, a bunch of imps jumped out, humming...... This matter can be used to manage the aristocratic administration more strictly. ”
Yuan Xixuan was talking, and someone outside the door reported that several other conservative forces were coming.
Uncle glanced at Yuan Xixuan, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that they don't want us to lose the position of the head of the aristocratic management department!"
With that, the two got up and strode out......
The night was already dark, and Jiang Xingchen and the old man, who had rested enough, set off again and rushed to the Great Departure Kingdom. But this time they didn't run fast, and the crab was reprimanded, and he didn't dare to stir up the black electricity again.
"Boy, I always feel uneasy...... "The old man sitting on the back of the crab suddenly broke the silence.
"What are you worried about?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"Do you still need to ask, don't worry about your star collar! Ten thousand poisonous weeds are not easy to find, you can go back at the earliest, and you have to wait for me to die of poison in half a year." For such a long time, aren't you afraid of anything happening to the territory? I told you, although the more than 100 nobles who didn't eat the meat of the demon beast will ask the Yuan family for compensation, they will definitely hate you, and if they don't get it right, they will stumble on you. In addition, the money in Hongyuan City is not a fuel-efficient lamp......"
"Old guy, you can't say something good......" Before the old man finished speaking, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but interrupt him: "What do you mean that you can't go back until you're dead, sue you, ten thousand poisonous weeds will definitely be found, you can't die an old thing, haven't you heard of the scourge for thousands of years?"
"Damn, boy, who are you talking about the scourge?" the old man was anxious when he heard this.
"Whew~" The crab hurriedly roared, shrugged his back, and said secretly: "Old man, you have been taken crooked by the master again!"
was stirred by the crab, and the old man also reacted, and said: "Boy, don't talk nonsense, I still think there is a problem, you have been away from home for so long, and people with a heart will not let go of this opportunity...... If you want me to say, let's go back......"
"Old thing, don't even think about it!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand domineeringly, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will prepare everything that should be prepared, if they have money and are willing to toss, let them toss, and the final loss must be themselves." ”
"Are you ready?" the old man asked in surprise, feeling a little incredible.
Jiang Xingchen said with a smile: "If I say it's okay, it's okay, even if someone uses extreme measures, don't be afraid...... Okay, don't persuade me, if you're worried, let's hurry up and go early and come back early!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen shook the reins hard, and the black lightning hissed excitedly, accelerated suddenly, and swooped out! (To be continued......)
