"There is a famous saying in later generations: What the proletariat loses is only their shackles, but what they gain will be the whole world!
The same is true for a Machiavellian like me. What is lost is only weakness, but there are more opportunities for success...
Take Huang Shenming as an example. This person's affection, or obsession, for Miss Guo Si is probably the only shining point in him, but it is precisely because of this single shining point that he I can easily use him and drive him... Otherwise, I will have to spend more energy, promise more benefits, and pay more price...
So, there’s nothing wrong with that…”
Time returned to this moment, recalling the scene when he persuaded Huang Shenming, Zhao Junchen secretly comforted himself.
While Zhao Junchen was thinking like this, Huang Shenming asked softly: "Minister, what are you going to do next? Just hide it like this? I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution!
You will not be suspected in a short period of time just by hiding here in humble position, but if Ximen Sheng and the others are going to investigate with all their strength and dig deep, I am afraid you will be found sooner or later...
At that time, I can only put self-preservation first in my humble position, and I may be sorry for you, the cabinet minister!"
After a pause, Huang Shenming couldn't help but emphasize: "But we must agree first. According to the previous agreement, I will only do my best to help you hide your traces, but other than that, various things, especially the betrayal of Liaodong Town... ...I have no respect for a humble position, and I don’t have the courage or ability.”
Obviously, for Huang Shenming, the price he is willing to pay for Miss Guo Si has reached the limit at this point.
For people like Huang Shenming, even if they have a shining point, don't expect that shining point to be so bright and dazzling.
Ordinary people would definitely panic after hearing Huang Shenming's statement.
Especially what Huang Shenming said - "In my humble position, I can only put self-preservation first, and I may be sorry for you, cabinet minister." The implication is that Huang Shenming may betray Zhao Junchen at any time. The specific method of selling is even more terrifying to think about.
But Zhao Junchen did not panic at all, he just smiled and said sarcastically: "Oh? I am hiding here alone in General Huang Shen. No matter what you want to do, you must have General Huang Shen's help." .
But according to Huang Shenjiang, I can't do anything else except continue to hide. But if I just hide like this, I will be found sooner or later...
So, does this mean that the only outcome for this pavilion is to be captured without mercy? And Mr. Huang Shen... you are destined to be sorry for me in the future?"
Huang Shenming's expression was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly explained: "Beizhi never meant this. Beizhi just believes that Zhao Gechen should find a more appropriate hiding method as soon as possible. Hiding here in Beizhi is just a temporary measure."
"I see, I have misunderstood General Huang Shen. Thank you so much for General Huang Shen's concern!" Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile.
Zhao Junchen was not surprised or worried about Huang Shenming's ambiguous attitude.
Because, just like He Yu, Zhao Junchen is also good at "boiling frogs in warm water".
Now Huang Shenming has actually been dragged into the water by Zhao Junchen. As long as Huang Shenming agrees to help Zhao Junchen for the first time, there will soon be a second and third time, and the bond between the two parties will become deeper and deeper. The sunk costs Huang Shenming bet on Zhao Junchen are increasing, and the price of betrayal is also increasing. Although we cannot "share the blessings", we definitely "share the hardships".
After this binding reaches a certain level, Zhao Junchen and Huang Shenming will become grasshoppers on a rope. Once Zhao Junchen is found, Huang Shenming will be regarded as a traitor by everyone in Liaodong Town. There is no such thing as a traitor.
If there is no room for excuse, at that time, Zhao Junchen will be able to take whatever he wants from Huang Shenming.
Of course, now is not the right time to show off, because the bond between Huang Shenming and Zhao Junchen is not deep enough. If Huang Shenming is determined to betray Zhao Junchen, he still has a chance to defend himself, and he will not pay too much.
The cost is high, and Zhao Junchen can even be silenced directly. Therefore, Zhao Junchen cannot force Huang Shenming too much now. He can only shake Huang Shenming's bottom line little by little, making Huang Shenming fall into it unknowingly.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen pretended to think for a moment and said: "Actually, General Huang Shen doesn't have to worry about anything at all. Just like what I said before, the situation has developed to this point, and Liaodong Town has no time and energy to deal with it."
All efforts are being made to search for traces of this pavilion.
However, just in case, there are indeed two things in this pavilion that require General Huang Shen's assistance... Don't worry, they are all trivial matters. We will never force General Huang Shen to betray Liaodong Town. Everything is just to let me
The pavilion can hide your traces better!"
Huang Shenming said cautiously: "Minister, please tell me, if it is within the scope of the humble position, I will do my best. But if it is beyond the capabilities of the humble position, the minister will have to find other strategies."
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "For General Huang Shen, it is all a matter of effort... First, General Huang Shen is currently responsible for the task of searching for traces of me. Although I am actually hiding next to General Huang Shen, I
Ge hopes that General Huang Shen will not just act perfunctory during the search, but will go all out, digging three feet into the ground to search with all his strength. The bigger the action, the better...
This kind of thing is originally the power and responsibility of Huang Shenjiang. Seeing Huang Shenjiang working so hard, all the forces in Liaodong Town will look down on Huang Shenjiang, right?"
When Huang Shenming heard what Zhao Junchen did, he couldn't help but feel stunned.
He had a vague feeling that Zhao Junchen's request must have some other motive, but he couldn't figure out what Zhao Junchen's real intention was for a while.
But as Zhao Junchen said, this approach has no harm to Huang Shenming, so Huang Shenming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Later, Zhao Junchen said: "Secondly, I hope that General Huang will take advantage of the opportunity to search the entire camp and send people to try to investigate the camps of the other four generals. After all...'I' currently also have
Maybe he's hiding in the tents of those generals, right?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's request, Huang Shenming's complexion suddenly changed. He shook his head and refused, saying: "This is not possible! There must be a large number of confidential documents and letters stored in the tents of those generals. They are humble.
If we send someone to break into their camp to investigate, they will definitely violate their taboos. I don't dare to offend the other generals completely in my humble position, and I can't afford to offend any of them!"
Zhao Junchen smiled and comforted: "I said, it's just an attempt. If you encounter resistance or rejection, just give up!
However, after doing these things and waiting for He Bandit and others to lead the army back, General Huang Shen remembered to make it clear that he had sent people to conduct a detailed search of all places within the entire camp, leaving only a few others.
It's good that no one has been sent to investigate the camp where the general is staying.
This kind of thing is also within the scope of Huang Shenjiang's power and responsibility, and of course it is a piece of cake, right? I have no other intention, it is just to divert attention. As long as it diverts everyone's attention, I am hiding in
Yellow ginseng will make it safer here too.”
This time, Huang Shenming hesitated longer, but finally nodded and agreed: "If this is the case, I can do it with my humble position!"
Seeing that Huang Shenming finally agreed to his request, Zhao Junchen had a plan in mind and secretly thought: "Next, it depends on Jiang Quan's actions... As long as Jiang Quan's actions go smoothly, the situation will be completely under control.
Got it!"
In fact, Huang Shenming was misled by Zhao Junchen about key information from beginning to end.
At the beginning, Zhao Junchen and Jiang Quan brought Li Shijie's tokens and secret letters, pretended to be Li Shijie's messengers to meet Huang Shenming, and sought Huang Shenming's asylum. Therefore, Huang Shenming always thought that Zhao Junchen was hiding in his
Things around him have already received cooperation and support from Li Shijie, which is one of the biggest reasons why Huang Shenming agreed to protect Zhao Junchen.
But in fact, Li Shijie didn't know about this from beginning to end. He had been secretly assisting Zhao Junchen in conveying information to various forces outside the camp, so Zhao Junchen got a token of Li Shijie and an unspecified secret.
letter.
Later, after Jiang Quan saw Huang Shenming agreed to protect Zhao Junchen, he took Huang Shenming's token and left to meet Li Shijie. Then he continued to pretend to be Li Shijie's bodyguard, and now he has followed Li Shijie and left among He Bandit's army.
Got the camp tent.
Therefore, Jiang Quan soon had the opportunity to contact Fang Zhenshan, Wu Shilin and others.
