Chapter 281: Trickery
Yan Long said: "Why did Lord Liu say this?"
Liu Qiao said: "You have been walking around the East Factory so frequently recently, people who don't know still think that Yan Gongzi has joined the East Factory!
Yan Long said respectfully: "Commander, you have misunderstood me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe grudge between me and the Phantom Palace, the Governor also knows. The clues of the Phantom Demon Palace appeared so suddenly, the time was pressing, and the opportunity was fleeting, and I was forced to join forces with Dongchang. This operation was purely for revenge on Yuan Suiyun, and there was no other intention. ā
Liu Qiao said: "Then what are you going to Wei Zhongxian's Mansion for this time?"
Yan Long said: "With Wei Zhongxian's status in the court, the housekeeper in his mansion personally came to invite me, how could I not go! When I met him, his purpose was also very clear, that is, he wanted to win me over. He promised me the title of official and said that the emperor had decreed that the cabinet should discuss the matter. Yan Long said this, there was not a single lie, because Jin Yiwei must have known these news.
Liu Qiao's face was as cold as ice, and he continued to ask: "When Wei Zhongxian promised to give you an official title, how did you respond?"
Yan Long didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied, "I politely declined. ā
When he said this, he had already made a decision in his heart!
āāA decision about Liu Qiao's fate!
Hearing Yan Long's words, Liu Qiao suddenly smiled, and when he laughed, the originally stiff and cold expression on his face gradually eased up.
He poured Yan Long a cup of tea, then pointed to a stool in front of the table, and said, "You sit down and drink some tea, this Yuhua tea is very good, I specially asked the shopkeeper to bring it from Nanzhili." ā
The tea has a refreshing fragrance, and there is no poison in the tea. But Yan Long only took a sip and put down the teacup. He asked Liu Qiao, "Governor, I haven't seen my parents for more than a year, can you let me meet them?"
Liu Qiao smiled: "It's normal for people to miss their parents, but you need to finish one thing before I can let you meet." ā
"What's the matter?"
"Kill Nangong Jue, the leader of the Sky Gang. Liu Qiao said.
Yan Long listened, a fleeting chill flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Nangong Jue's whereabouts have not yet been ascertained, but the commander suddenly asked me to assassinate Nangong Jue, is this deliberately embarrassing me?"
Liu Qiao shook his head and said, "Definitely, according to reliable sources, Nangong Jue will arrive in the capital soon, and with your status in the Changkong Gang and your influence in the capital, he will definitely summon you." At that time, you only need to lure him into the encirclement of our brocade guards, and the rest will be handled by others. ā
Yan Long pondered for a while and asked, "What if Nangong never summons me?"
Liu Qiao picked up the teacup and began to drink tea, and said after a while: "Then you don't have to mention your parents' request again." ā
Yan Long sighed lightly and said, "Okay, I promise you." I just ask the governor not to embarrass my parents during this time. I swear that as long as Nangong Jue arrives in the capital, I will definitely find him. ā
Liu Qiao nodded and did not speak again.
Yan Long knew that it was time for him to say goodbye, he bowed to Liu Qiao, nodded to Jiang Wei, and then walked out of the window and disappeared into the night in an instant.
After Yan Long left, Liu Qiao asked Jiang Weidao, "Do you think he is still worthy of our trust?"
Jiang Wei stood up and arched his hand: "I don't know if the commander wants to hear the truth or a lie?"
Liu Qiao looked up at Jiang Wei and asked with a curious smile: "Oh, I want to hear the lie first." ā
Jiang Wei said: "The lie is: the subordinates don't know, and they don't dare to say anything." ā
Liu Qiao smiled: "This is a word of shirking responsibility, sleek but useless, it is indeed very fake." What about the truth?"
Jiang Wei said: "The truth is: for now, Yan Long is still credible. ā
"Why?"
Jiang Weidao: "Because he just did something that all ordinary people would do, and he wanted to rely on Wei Zhongxian to get promoted." It is too early to judge that he is no longer credible based on this article alone. ā
"Then in your opinion, how can you judge that he is still loyal to our Jinyiwei?" asked Liu Qiao.
Jiang Wei said: "Yan Long rose with the help of the Sky Gang, if he is willing to kill Nangong Jue and retreat by himself, then he is still loyal to us, if he is unwilling, it is enough to prove that he has defected." ā
Liu Qiao said with a smile: "Boyo is calm and objective, very good." I was right. ā
After receiving Liu Qiao's praise, Jiang Wei sat down again and continued to drink tea, still expressionless on his face, but in fact, his heart was already churning.
The above words, he said after careful consideration, Liu Qiao has always been suspicious, if he blatantly defends Yan Long, not only will it be self-defeating, but also let himself get into trouble. Only this kind of seemingly fair, but actually biased rhetoric, can deal with Liu Qiao.
Nangong Jue's matter can be delayed for a while, during this period, as long as Yan Long successfully gets the appointment of the Jinyi Guard, then there is still room for everything to turn around.
......
When Yan Long returned to the mansion, he re-examined his plan.
When he came to the capital, his first goal was to control the Jinyi Guard. Therefore, joining Jinyiwei and holding important positions is the first step.
After completing the first step, you can try to bring down Liu Qiao and replace him.
Therefore, the first step is the key, otherwise, even if Liu Qiao is killed, it will not be his turn to control Jinyiwei.
But after arriving in the capital, he realized that Liu Qiao was extremely wary of himself, let alone joining Jinyiwei, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to even stay in the capital.
Liu Qiao's thoughts, he knew very well that Liu Qiao just wanted to trap him in the Sky Gang and keep being a secret chess piece of Jinyiwei.
So to open up the situation, there is only another way.
Yan Long thought of many whimsical methods, including taking refuge in Ye Xianggao, asking Zhu Jiarou to recommend himself in front of the emperor, and even clinging to some of his father's former friends.
But after a period of observation, he found that these methods were simply not realistic.
It wasn't until after the attack on Dongchang Fanzi that day that he realized that he had missed a very important person.
Wei Zhongxian!
Therefore, he bravely saved Chen Shiyuan, and exterminated the Illusion Demon Palace like a god, these are all merits.
-- These are all qualifications!
In this world, after all, it is still necessary to speak with strength and achievements, and sure enough, Wei Changgong, who "cherishes his talent as his life", threw an olive branch to him.
Yan Long made it clear to Wei Zhongxian that he wanted to join Jinyiwei, and at that time, he had already made up his mind to break with Liu Qiao.
After the break, it is time to prepare for a battle to the death.
There is no way back from this kind of contest.
Before implementing the second step of the plan, he must also rescue Yan Xue'an and Han Xiuying. Although he spent a short time with the two of them and didn't have much emotional connection, Yan Long still regarded them as his biological parents, perhaps, this was a projection effect on the feelings of his parents in his previous life.
Several days passed, and Yan Long had been waiting.
He was waiting for his letter of appointment as the chief of the brocade guard.
He didn't know exactly what position he would hold in Jinyiwei. But Wei Changgong made a move, and the "quality" must be guaranteed.
On this day, Yan Long still didn't wait for any good news, he was a little frustrated.
Fortunately, there was a mechanical sound from the system that excited him.
