"If it really doesn't work, I can only take the risk..."
Thinking of this, Qin Lang's eyes flickered and his expression struggled.
But in the end, Qin Lang shook his head and denied taking risks.
Because of his life experience, Qin Lang has a low self-esteem, and he knows very well that he is an insignificant person.
Most of the time, it is difficult for little people to have any impact, and naturally they will not attract any attention.
And from a certain perspective, this situation of being a transparent person who does not receive attention is actually a blessing for the little people.
But if a small person takes the initiative to cause an impact and attracts the attention of a big person, it will definitely be a disaster.
Regarding this point, Qin Lang has already learned enough lessons. If his performance was slightly mediocre, it would not have attracted the attention of the "Chaofeng" organization.
Therefore, as long as Qin Lang can stabilize his position at this time and not take any risky actions, no one will pay attention to him, and no one will doubt him, and he can protect himself and not expose any secrets.
And as long as Qin Lang can protect himself and keep his secrets, he will still be useful to the mastermind behind the scenes.
After the situation in Nanjing was settled, the mastermind behind the scenes would only punish and warn him even if he was dissatisfied with his laziness and uselessness, so he and his sister still had a chance to survive.
On the other hand, if Qin Lang takes risks and acts blindly, once he is noticed by the people around him, his past experiences and eight generations of his ancestors will be quickly investigated, and all his secrets will be revealed. He is behind the scenes.
It will no longer be of any use in the eyes of the master, but will instead become a hidden danger and threat.
At that time, the fate faced by Qin Lang and his sister will no longer be as easy as punishment and warning, but will inevitably encounter a more tragic situation.
Of course, when the idea of "adventure" came to Qin Lang's mind, he did not only have the two options of "risking and continuing to poison" or "risking and leaking information to the outside world".
He also considered another possibility, that is - should he risk telling the truth to Zhang Decheng and Zhou Shangjing?
Qin Lang knew very well that Zhang Decheng was a pure and good person. As long as he emphasized his own difficulties when he told the truth, Zhang Decheng would definitely protect him with all his strength.
Zhou Shangjing is the most powerful official in the dynasty. When he discovers the truth about being poisoned, he may pay attention to Qin Lang's role, use Qin Lang to lead out the mastermind behind the scenes, and even work with Qin Lang to bring down the mastermind behind the scenes, so that
Qin Lang can rescue his sister who is a hostage.
But Qin Lang immediately rejected such an idea.
On the one hand, he didn't know what Zhou Shangjing was thinking.
If Zhou Shangjing had other considerations and immediately turned Qin Lang into an abandoned son after knowing the truth, and had no intention of helping Qin Lang rescue his sister, then Qin Lang would also have no power to resist.
On the other hand, Qin Lang doesn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, nor does he know the strength or specific plans of the mastermind behind the scenes.
If the person behind the scenes planted more informants around Zhou Shangjing, Qin Lang told Zhou Shangjing the truth, and the person behind the scenes discovered his betrayal, it would undoubtedly make Qin Lang fall into even more despair.
situation.
Qin Lang was not a political strategist or military strategist, but his experience in the market also taught him a truth.
That is, when the situation is not yet clear and the intelligence is seriously insufficient, never make any decision at will - especially a decision that requires you to bet on your own destiny.
What's more, as a small person, Qin Lang still has hope of surviving if he is forced to get involved in the overt and covert fights between big people.
As long as he is still useful in the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as he still has a chance to complete certain tasks assigned by the mastermind behind the scenes, then he can still survive for the time being.
All in all, he only needs to think about how to complete the tasks assigned by the mastermind behind the scenes.
On the contrary, if a little guy like Qin Lang is not only forced to get involved in the battle between the big guys, but also takes the initiative to become a double spy for both sides, then he needs to meet the tasks assigned by Zhou Shangjing and the mastermind behind the scenes at the same time.
, we must not only pray that Zhou Shangjing will not give up on him, but also try our best to prevent the mastermind behind the scenes from discovering his betrayal. It seems that there is one more choice, but in fact the risk has doubled.
Qin Lang did not think that he had the ability to cover everything and have both sides, so he naturally did not dare to change the status quo and could only allow the mastermind behind the scenes to continue to control him.
"So I can only sit back and watch and stop moving forward! After all, I am just a small person. I don't have any capital to take risks, but I can't afford any price... I just hope that the person behind the scenes will not be punished too severely in the future! If he really needs to be punished,
Then just punish me alone, and don’t involve Niu Niu..."
While thinking like this, Qin Lang had already returned to his room, preparing to continue learning the basics of medical skills according to Zhang Decheng's instructions.
It's a pity that Qin Lang couldn't read a word of these boring medical books in the room, probably because he was too confused.
But Qin Lang still forced himself to study medical books. In order to calm himself down as much as possible, Qin Lang slapped himself twice in the face.
Qin Lang knew very well that he must learn the basics of medical skills as soon as possible. Only in this way can he win Zhang Decheng's favor and favor!
Only by winning Zhang Decheng's favor and favor can he become more useful in the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Even if we are cornered in the future and forced to confess all the truth to Zhang Decheng, we will have a greater chance of winning Zhang Decheng's asylum.

Qin Lang thinks that he is a little person, and a little person must have limited abilities. After encountering trouble, he can only stand still and put self-preservation first. He does not dare to expect that he will have the opportunity to change the status quo.
But there are many people, even though they know that they are not a big shot, they are still very courageous and dare to take the initiative to change the status quo of the situation, and even ambitiously want to lead the change of the situation.
For example, this is the case with Jiang Zheng.
As Zhao Junchen's staff, a disciple of the great scholar Yang Xun, and the "Zhao Party" representative of Huo Zhengyuan's assistants, Jiang Zheng is naturally an unattainable big shot compared to Qin Lang.
But compared to real chess players such as Zhou Shangjing, Zhu Hejian, Wang Baoren, Song Chengren, Huo Zhengyuan, Huang Yourong, etc., Jiang Zheng is still only an insignificant figure. In addition to his own strong background, his power and connections are not worth it.
Mention.
However, Jiang Zheng is still confident that he can play a decisive role in South Zhili and even have the opportunity to directly determine the future direction of the situation in South Zhili.
Jiang Zheng does not think that he is blindly confident or arrogant. After repeated thinking and verification, he has formulated a series of overall plans.
In the evening of this day, when Zhou Shangjing was worried about Zhongzhong about life and death, Zhang Decheng was racking his brains about Zhou Shangjing's stomach disease, and Qin Lang was determined to stand still.
On the south bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing City, Jiang Zheng followed Huo Zhengyuan to the Guanjiang Tower again and had dinner together.
Two months ago, when students in Nanjing were making trouble, Huo Zhengyuan and Jiang Zheng stood on this Guanjiang Tower to watch the changes in the situation at close range. They even met Lu De, who also came here to observe the situation.
The Guanjiang Tower not only has an excellent location and view, but also has several signature dishes that are also very delicious. Huo Zhengyuan fell in love with it after trying it once, so during his stay in Nanjing, it became
A frequent visitor to Guanjiang Tower.
As Zhao Junchen's spokesperson in southern Zhili, Huo Zhengyuan has been watching the changes in the situation with a cold eye recently. Occasionally, he will secretly assist Zhou Shangjing to do some things, but overall he has been standing still and has been very leisurely.
Compared with Huo Zhengyuan's leisure, Jiang Zheng has been running around and busy investigating since arriving in Nanjing City, and rarely accompanies Huo Zhengyuan to Guanjiang Tower to taste delicious food.
But on this day, Jiang Zheng rarely took the initiative to accompany Huo Zhengyuan to the second floor of Guanjiang Building. The two of them sat by the window again, chatting while eating.
Jiang Zheng's intention is obvious, that is, he wants to try his best to persuade Huo Zhengyuan, so that Huo Zhengyuan can mobilize various resources of the "Zhao Party" in South Zhili to implement the plan he has formulated!
"Senior Huo, the current situation has become very obvious. Zhou Shoufu has laid a trap at the feet of the seventh prince, and the seventh prince will definitely jump into it without hesitation! Under such circumstances, we must not just watch with cold eyes like before.
, or maybe they just help Zhou Shangjing do things!
Although the students don't know why Zhao Gechen and Zhou Shoufu are so hostile and targeting the seventh prince, it doesn't matter... The juniors just think that while Zhou Shoufu and the seventh prince are fighting, we have a chance to benefit!
The junior has explained to you in detail the plan he has conceived. If this plan goes smoothly, we will not only be able to realize Zhao Gechen's intention and make the Seventh Prince suffer a big loss, but we can also take the opportunity to reap greater benefits, and by the way, we can completely
Solve the problem that has been bothering Zhao Gechen..."
While Huo Zhengyuan seemed to be focusing on tasting the delicious food, Jiang Zhengze had no intention of dining and only focused on persuading Huo Zhengyuan.
Huo Zhengyuan stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand for a moment, raised his head and looked at Jiang Zheng carefully for a moment, and then said slowly: "I have thought about your plan carefully. Although it is very likely to succeed, its premise is that we need to
I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to actively backstab Zhou Shoufu, right?”
*
And while Jiang Zheng was trying his best to persuade Huo Zhengyuan, no one noticed that at the corner of the street below Guanjiang Tower, several people were observing them with cold eyes.
One of them is Guo Shouzhong, the personal bodyguard of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian and the leader of the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers!
"Did you see it? Right next to the window on the second floor of Guanjiang Tower, that middle-aged Confucian scholar who looks elegant and well-mannered is the Southeast Patrol Envoy, Academician Huo Zhengyuan!
The young Confucian scholar who sat at the same table with him and was discussing something was a young man named Jiang Zheng. It was said that he had an extraordinary background and a large background... As for the few people standing around, they were all Huo Zhengyuan's followers.
Huo Zhengyuan has been staying in Nanjing during this period and has not shown his official identity, so the security around him is not particularly tight. When he leaves Guanjiang Tower, you can easily find opportunities to attack him, but you must
Be precise!
Remember, our mission is to intimidate Huo Zhengyuan, so your target is Jiang Zheng and Huo Zhengyuan’s personal followers! We must let these people suffer heavy casualties, and we must let Huo Zhengyuan witness their heavy casualties! And Huo Zhengyuan must
You can only be slightly injured at most, but you can never kill him!
When taking action, the scene should be as brutal as possible, and Huo Zhengyuan must be completely frightened after seeing it! For us, a Huo Zhengyuan who is scared to death is more useful than a Huo Zhengyuan who dies in an accident!"
After hearing Guo Shouzhong's detailed explanation, the several "Chaofeng" dead men behind him all nodded in agreement.
One of the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers with sinister eyes and a ferocious scar on his face licked his lips excitedly after hearing this, and said with a smile: "In short, except for Huo Zhengyuan, including
That young scholar with an extraordinary background, anyone can die, even if it involves innocent passers-by, it doesn’t matter, right?”
After hearing this, Guo Shouzhong couldn't help but frown, a hint of fear flashed across his expression, and responded coldly: "Yes, as long as you are not caught doing this, and as long as you can save Huo Zhengyuan's life, no matter how big the noise is.
It doesn’t matter! Jiang Xiao, this time I allow you to do whatever you want!"
Among the nearly two hundred dead soldiers within the "Chaofeng" organization, Jiang Xiao's identity and origins are the most special.
He was originally a ruthless gangster who spanned several provinces and was responsible for dozens of lives. The government finally captured him after seven years of pursuit. He was originally in jail and waiting to die, but he was favored by Zhu Hejian and secretly
He came to the rescue and became one of the elders of the "Chaofeng" organization when it was founded.
After Jiang Xiao was rescued by Zhu Hejian, he has always been loyal to Zhu Hejian, but his methods are so vicious and his actions are so extreme that sometimes even Zhu Hejian can't help but look at him with suspicion, and he always makes trouble every time he performs a mission.
A huge movement will definitely involve innocent people.
It stands to reason that a figure like Jiang Xiao is likely to expose the existence of the "Chaofeng" organization. In Zhu Hejian's eyes, it is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger and should be abandoned and eliminated as soon as possible.
But in fact, Jiang Xiao was highly valued and has now become one of the core figures of the "Chaofeng" organization, participating in almost every important action of the "Chaofeng" organization.
The reason why Jiang Xiao was reused by Zhu Hejian is also very simple.
That is - he has never failed!

PS: I’ve been busy at work, but recently I’ve been idle again, so I’ll start double updates from tomorrow, and try to end the Nanjing plot within this month, and then I will turn my perspective to the protagonist Zhao Junchen and the situation in the capital again.
