The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 3: The Prelude to the Storm

Sitting leisurely in the elegant wing of the second-story building, looking out the bamboo forest through the window, it seems that I have returned to Nanchu. Now, I am the Sima of the Yongwang Mansion. The status is very important, but I But I still like to travel with Xiao Shunzi's micro-service, although King Yong has repeatedly advised me to be careful of my safety. I currently lack a very important candidate who can be undercover by the prince's side. Unfortunately, I am not very satisfied with the candidate provided by King Yong. This person must be romantic and licentious in order to fit the prince’s temperament, and this person must be good at meeting to get the prince’s. Pampering, this person must be talented in order to be appreciated by the prince. Such a person is really hard to find. Although the person provided by King Yong is barely possible, I still hope to find a more suitable person.

Not long after I sat, the door of the room opened quietly, Chen Zhen and Han Wuzhi walked in. This is the place I have arranged long ago. The owner of this very famous restaurant in Dayong is Jing Shunjing. My cousin, two years ago, when I was recuperating in Nanchu and Tianji Pavilion had already begun to make a splash, Jing Shunqing came to take refuge in me. The reason was because he had a dispute with his uncle.

Speaking of my mother from a famous family, the Jing family was second to none in Jiaxing, but after the death of her mother, my father had a big conflict with them, because the house where we live, all the fields are grandfathers Given to the father, after the mother passed away, the uncle, who had always been at odds with his father, threatened to take everything back. It stands to reason that these properties are in the father’s name and they have no right to take it back, but the father is proud of his uncle’s insults and abandons everything. , Took me away from Jiaxing, and also clearly stated that I was cut off from the Jing clan, so after I got the champion, the Jing clan had no face to reconcile with me.

My cousin is dull and doesn't like to read, so he won't be pampered by his uncle, and he fell in love with a maid in the family and made the maid pregnant. After the uncle learns about it, he will kill the child and resell the maid. , And my cousin must marry his fiancee immediately. Actually, for my cousin, if the maid can be accepted as a concubine, the two of them are already satisfied, but my uncle resolutely refused to let my cousin offend the Yue family. As a result, my cousin Angrily took the maid and fled to Jianye to take refuge in me.

I have a good impression of this cousin. Although he is not good at reading, he is shrewd. I heard that he has been taking care of the family’s property and affairs. His fiancée is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Southern Chu, because his father-in-law values ​​his Ability, the marriage was decided, and my uncle saw that his cousin could not achieve fame, so he simply made him climb a high branch. Who knew that the cousin had fornicated with the maid and offended the Yue family, so the uncle was furious.

I sympathize with my cousin and still have a grudge against my uncle, so I arranged for my cousin to see the master of the Heavenly Ji Pavilion. Of course, the master of the Heavenly Ji Pavilion, Han Wuji, appreciates his cousin very much and subsidizes his business in order to avoid the Yue family's suppression. , The cousin crossed the river to Dayong. At that time, Nanchu and Dayong were still in harmony on the surface, so the cousin did not encounter any obstacles, and stood firm in Dayong. The cousin is indeed a business wizard, but for two years, The one hundred thousand taels of silver I invested at the beginning has increased countless times. My cousin became a fortune by trading goods between Dayong and Nanchu, and he timely invested money in other industries and became one of the giants in the silk industry. This is because I improved the loom for him and he is smart and capable, and a year ago, his father-in-law came to the door and not only reconciled with him, but also sent his fiancée over. In fact, the cousin's fiancée The stubborn temper is not an unreasonable person. The cooperation between his cousin and his father-in-law also allowed his business to develop rapidly. The businessmen value their interests. They saw the crisis in Nanchu, so the two of them prepared to split part of their business with The funds are transferred to Dayong, and the cousin is the pioneer.

I didn’t expect my cousin to be so outstanding. When I made my investment, I said that Tianji Pavilion would take up 50% of the shares. Later my cousin made a grand plan and proposed to buy back the shares at a price of 500,000 taels. My brother was prepared for our wild price, but I certainly wouldn’t go too far, and Tianji Pavilion never did anything that made the collaborators too heartbroken, so I sold the shares at a reasonable price, but as usual, keep one Cheng's shares, and the cousin also knows the power of the Secret Guild, so the two parties are happy to reach an agreement. My cousin is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Although I don't know the relationship between me and Tianji Pavilion, he still sent a few great gifts to thank me for my guidance.

This time I was captured by King Yong and came to Dayong. I sent Chen Zhen and them to Dayong to wait for me in advance. There are many people I settled in my cousin’s property, although they have no memory of the secret camp. , But I still remember the kindness of the secret camp to place them, and their qualifications are relatively good after all, so many have become important stewards, plus the identity of the Tianji Pavilion, so the secret camp can be in the cousin’s industry Come and go freely. And this restaurant is one of the cousin’s properties in Dayong, named Jiangnanchun. It sells wines and dishes of Southern Chu flavor, and is very popular with the power of Dayong. My cousin is still very good. After knowing that I was captured, he came to Chang'an personally, hoping to do my best for me, several times through the relationship, I wanted to ask King Yong to'raise his hands', but the way was blocked until I became the Sima of King Yong's Mansion. Wang Yong only knew that his cousin had gone to save me, but he was very appreciative of his cousin, so I could easily go out to Jiangnanchun for a drink this time. After all, no one here would be able to co-operate with the boss to plot against me. A few martial arts and powerful guards were sent to protect me, otherwise King Yong would not worry about my safety.

Looking at Chen Zhen and Han Wushou, I smiled and said: ‘How are you two these days, Jiang is headstrong, but both of you are worried. ‘

After the two saw the ceremony, Han Wuqi smiled and said: "The subordinates worked hard to arrange the fraudulent death plan explained by the son, but unfortunately, the son was still touched by the king of Yong. The son can make up for our efforts. . ‘

Chen Zhen gave him a white look and said: ‘Let’s stop talking nonsense, who has always said that the son doesn’t need to be so dangerous to commit death. I heard that the son changed his mind and was overjoyed. ‘

Although Chen Zhen was a joke, my heart was moved. Looking at the coldness, I secretly figured out that he is also from Shu, so why would he agree with me to take refuge in Yongwang. My suspicion was fixed on Han Wu Ji. If this person has a problem, then my secret camp has leaked out, but there is no sign of this.

Han Wuzhi used to fight each other day by day. Seeing my gaze, I felt a chill. I quickly knelt on the ground and said: "My son, my subordinates are indeed inclined to Da Yong. We were waiting for my son in Chang'an a few days ago. When I reached a colleague in the past, he saw that I was in a good situation, and he told me that he wanted me to support the prince of Shu with them and re-establish the Kingdom of Shu. I politely refused at the time, but the person said that there are now rebellious forces organized. If I do not agree, when those people find me, they will never let go of my rebellious rebellion. The subordinates know that these people are bullying and fearing hardship. After surrendering to King Yong and taking advantage of King Yong's power, these people would not dare to come to subordinates blatantly. ‘

I sighed slightly. I’m not surprised that the rebellious forces in the Shu Kingdom existed, but it’s really stupid to use this method. Han Wuzhi was relatively opposed to Dayong in the past. I wanted to cheat to death. Not to mention, but very positive, but now I am overjoyed for my return to King Shun Yong. Such a change is caused by those resistance forces. A person who has given up the past and has his own life, who wants to invest in the hopeless resistance forces again Where to go? After confirming that those forces can’t afford any big storms, I still confess that I can’t help but take care of my own safety. Although assassinations cannot change the general situation of the country, personal destiny can be changed. After thinking about it, I am right. Han Wuji said:'Next time they come to force you, you will say that you are doing business and are willing to subsidize them, but you don't want to participate. ‘

Han Wuji said in surprise: ‘Why did the son do this? ‘

I smiled faintly and said: ‘I want you to control their actions. This will help me a little, and it will be easier to eradicate them in the future. ‘

Han Wuji remained silent. I was a little confused. I was about to ask him what's wrong. Xiao Shunzi's voice sounded in my ears: ‘Master, he is from Shu. ‘

I just remembered that although he said just now that he feels at ease about my refuge in Dayong, it does not mean that he is willing to see the resistance of Shu fail.

Shaking my head lightly, I said:'No way, I understand your thoughts, but you have to be clear, most of these people are not loyal to the Shu Kingdom, but to regain lost power. They use this method Conspiracy not only has no chance of success, but also affects more people and even hurts more people. For example, if you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, how will they deal with you? Think about it, I don’t Reluctantly, I will leave these things to others to do. ‘

Han Wuzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed: ‘Subordinate Xie is generous and generous. ‘

I look at Chen Zhen, he nodded slightly, I know he will take over this matter, and he will watch for nothing, so as not to let him endanger my great cause.

Chen Zhen saw that Han Wuzhi had calmed down, and said: ‘I don’t know if the son is going to tell His Royal Highness the existence of the secret camp. ‘

I smiled faintly and asked: ‘What do you think? ‘

Chen Zhen said: ‘Subordinates believe that if you tell King Yong, then your son will have less power to protect himself in the future, but if you don’t tell King Yong, I’m afraid he will doubt his loyalty in the future. ‘

I look at Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "You are right, but you must never expose the secret camp to the sun. The reason why the son can move forward and retreat freely is all because of the existence of the secret camp. Moreover, King Yong is suspicious of the loyalty of his son, and we will have a big deal to leave Dayong. ‘

I thought for a while and said: "Xiao Shunzi is too extreme. In this way, we will be hostile to King Yong. This is not good. The secret camp cannot show up. Let's go. I will try not to talk to Chen Zhen in the future. When meeting, Chen Zhen is responsible for the host of the secret camp, and Xiao Shunzi is responsible for conveying my instructions. From now on, the mission of the secret camp is to integrate himself into the lower level of Chang'an. Remember my words, not to be involved in the upper-level powerful forces. Come, even if His Royal Highness discovered the existence of the secret camp, he would not be too afraid of me. After all, His Royal Highness would not believe that I had no power at all to rely on. The big deal is that I said the secret camp is Xiao Shunzi. My subordinates, I want to make sense, for so long, they can at least see the depth of some small straights. ‘

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said: ‘During King Yong’s house arrest, he always sent some masters to monitor us. Although I can come and go, I’m afraid I can’t escape easily if I bring him. The martial arts of the guards sent by King Yong to our side are also good, but they are only meant to protect, because there are no masters who can entangle me, the force is much weaker, and they are just ready to help me protect the son. ‘

I was about to tell them something. Suddenly there was noise and weapons intersecting outside. My brows were slightly frowned. This Jiangnanchun restaurant is a high-end restaurant. How can anyone do it here? I watched Xiao Shun. With a glance, he walked out knowingly, and soon came back and told me that it turned out that someone was fighting outside. Xiao Shunzi said that it seemed like a vendetta. I've seen **** battles on the battlefield before, and literati tongue battles. I haven't seen feuds. I couldn't help but become interested. I greeted Xiao Shunzi and I walked out of the room.

Although Jiangnanchun is a restaurant in name, it is actually a small garden. The garden is full of Jiangnan landscapes. Flowers, bamboo forests, small bridges, running water, and rockeries cleverly divide the space in the garden into hundreds. A small space, each small space has different styles of terraces and pavilions, the most respected in the noisy, there are corridors between the pavilions, and there are lush flowers and trees outside the corridors, so the layout is very elegant and secret. Suitable for close meetings.

The small building I’m in is very elegant. Pushing open the door on the second floor, there is a balcony surrounded by vermilion railings, and there is a staircase leading to the lower floor. King Yong’s guards are waiting on the lower floor. I stand on the railing. In front, looking down, downstairs and another pavilion connected to the corridor stood an old man standing with his hands behind him, behind him stood two mighty-looking middle-aged men and a beautiful and charming girl, while in the corridor On a rockery outside, stood a scholar in yellow, with a handsome appearance, just a little flirtatious, holding a jade flute in his hand, and opposite him stood a handsome young man with a sword in his hand , The two were fighting, the young man seemed to have good swordsmanship. The flash of sword light forced the scholar to be very embarrassed, but the scholar laughed and mocked from time to time. I saw that the young man was blushing and he was going crazy.

As I looked down, the scholar was fighting back and shouting: "Oh, it's really terrible. Xiaosheng just joked and didn't **** the beauty with you. Don't worry, although your younger sister is pretty, Xiaosheng is accustomed to seeing beautiful women in the world, there are many prettier than her, but just a few teases, and did not touch her hair, why so desperately. ‘

The young man yelled: ‘Nonsense, bullshit, you come to take refuge, we kindly accept it, but you did that kind of rude thing and offended my sister. ‘Speaking, swordsmanship is faster.

While resisting, the scholar in yellow swears and said:'A fair lady, a gentleman is so charming, Xiaosheng is just a yearning for a beautiful woman. After a few days of pursuing Miss Sha, there is absolutely no indecent behavior. Besides, Ms. , Xiaosheng is bold and dare not to offend her, Jingjing, Jingjing, you pleaded for me, I didn't offend you. ‘

The beautiful girl's jade face was reddish, and she said fiercely:'What pursuit, wrap around me every day, just play outside when nothing is wrong, and also stole my things, you obediently let my brother beat me Take a meal, and then return the things, or I will never let you go. ‘

The yellow book growth sighed: ‘Oh, it seems that you don’t let me go. Hey, I’ve watched enough of the theater, my brother, if you don’t save me, I will be dead. 'Speaking of the jade flute in the scholar's hand suddenly turned into a thousand phantoms, the young man seemed to be confused and took a step back subconsciously. Who knew that he had forgotten that he was on the rockery and staggered. At this moment, the scholar suddenly flew up into the air and rushed in the direction where I was. He also shouted:'Brother, help. ‘

Just as his figure flickered, a middle-aged man behind the old man rushed from behind him like a goshawk. The scholar shook his hand, only to hear a violent explosion sounded several meters away. Immediately inside, blue smoke billowed, and it was mixed with light red smoke. The scholar shouted:'Brother, don't be poisoned, I have no feud with them. 'All the people stood there holding their breath, and when the smoke dissipated, a few people looked intently, and saw that the scholar was gone. On the platform in the direction of his escape, a scholar in Tsing Yi was smiling bitterly there, standing behind him. One of the delicate servants who was standing turned his face and seemed to be laughing.

The young man furiously pointed his sword at the tower and said: ‘That bastard, hand him over, you must be not a good person to use poison in broad daylight. ‘

I couldn’t help but smile again and again when I was pointed at. I was actually framed. Just now, Xiao Shunzi told me in secret that this scholar seems to be breaking through~IndoMTL.com~ I just want to see him with curiosity. How to break through, when the green smoke appeared, Xiao Shunzi immediately stood in front of me, and then we heard his planting and blaming, I don’t know what the red smoke is, but I know it’s definitely not poison, but against those For the glaring people, how can I explain it?

At this time, several guards from Yongwang Mansion had already rushed upstairs to see that I was safe. One guard walked over to me and whispered: ‘My lord, what happened. ‘

I shook my head lightly, and raised my voice: ‘Several people, the person just now has nothing to do with the next, so please look at it carefully. ‘

The young man said loudly: "Sophistry, when we met that person, he was walking towards you, and he broke through from your direction just now. It's strange that you are not in the same party. Tell me, Xia Jinyi and you what relationship? ‘

I smiled slightly and said: ‘I have nothing to do with that person, please give me a lesson. ‘

The old man suddenly said: "Your Excellency despised our talents so much? The surname Xia was originally walking towards you. After seeing you just now, I tried to break through in your direction several times. If it has nothing to do with you, why are you? Never refuted. ‘

At this time, the guard whispered in my ear: "These people are from Chang'an Guanzhonglian. The old man is the co-leader Sha Qingyuan. Guanzhonglian gathers the Chang'an warriors, which is actually where the court controls the rivers and lakes. Sha Qingyuan is now in a neutral position, but he prefers King Qi, because many of his disciples are serving in King Qi's army. ‘

Suddenly there was a vague plan in my mind, and I said: “Lord Jiang’s words are bad. I waited to hear the noise outside, so I came out to see the excitement. The man suddenly clawed and there were still a few nearby. At the stage, how do you know that this person is the one who climbed up and down? We, the co-leader, will lose his identity if he listens to the words of the letter. ‘
