Jiang Xiao seemed to be moved by Hu Xiao's words, and his expression changed again, turning into a cold and solemn look.
However, Hu Xiao was very familiar with Jiang Xiao's temperament, and knew very well that this expression meant that Jiang Xiao was seriously considering his proposal.
So, Hu Xiao continued his efforts and began to show his role: "Of course, I will not just take advantage. You also know, third brother, that I have been protected by the great scholar Huo Zhengyuan during this period, and I have a close relationship with the great scholar Huo Zhengyuan."
During the contact, I also obtained a lot of confidential information! This information should be of great use to you! To show my sincerity, if you need this information, I am willing to tell you frankly!"
After hearing this, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but his eyes flashed.
Information about Huo Zhengyuan...
During this period of time, although Jiang Xiao acted without authorization and seriously violated Zhu Hejian's wishes, he actually never thought about betraying Zhu Hejian from beginning to end, but he originally thought that his unauthorized actions would not bring trouble to Zhu Hejian.
, but in the end it was just fun.
Jiang Xiao also knew Zhu Hejian's temperament very well. If his unauthorized actions did not cause any bad effects, then although Zhu Hejian would be angry at Jiang Xiao for causing trouble, there is still room for improvement in the relationship between the two parties, and Jiang Xiao still has an explanation.
If you have the opportunity, you can find a way to win Zhu Hejian's understanding.
But now, things have gotten out of hand, because Jiang Xiao is determined to seek revenge on Hu Xiao, the "Chaofeng" organization is being rounded up by various forces, and Zhu Hejian's crime of secretly raising dead soldiers is also worried about being exposed at any time. Under such circumstances
Zhu Hejian will never forgive Jiang Xiao.
Unless... Jiang Xiao can still perform extraordinary feats while acting without permission, allowing Zhu Hejian to gain greater benefits, which will allow Zhu Hejian to temporarily ignore Jiang Xiao's loss of control this time.
The relevant information about Huo Zhengyuan is undoubtedly an excellent breakthrough point.
On the other side, Hu Xiao also had the same idea.
Hu Xiao seemed to be thinking about Jiang Xiao wholeheartedly, and said sincerely: "Alas! Although you and I are not mediocre people, in the final analysis, we are just two common men. We have no other talents except fighting skills.
, so we are destined to be unable to make achievements and shine, and can only be reduced to knives in the hands of those powerful people!
Over the years, I have been absconding overseas and become a knife for a certain big shot. And after you, the third brother, were arrested by Liumen, you should have been beheaded and abandoned. But now you are not only safe and sound, but also your subordinates.
You also have a group of well-trained dead soldiers to serve you, so like me, you have become the knife of a powerful man, right?
But I'm sure that this time you led your dead men to seek revenge on me, and you must have acted without permission, without first obtaining the consent of the powerful man behind the scenes, right? Since that powerful man dared to raise the dead men in private, he must have
You are not someone who is easy to deal with, and you have not only acted without authorization during this period, but now you have also attracted various forces to round up you. Therefore, the powerful man will most likely not let you go easily, but...
If my predictions are correct, the powerful person behind your scenes must not be able to deal with Huo Zhengyuan. At least... Huo Zhengyuan must want to deal with that mysterious powerful person, so he is willing to take risks and take shelter in me just because he wants to.
You need to use me to lure you out, and then you can take the opportunity to find evidence that the mysterious powerful man secretly raised dead men!
Under such circumstances, if you can obtain a large amount of Huo Zhengyuan's confidential information from me, can you make meritorious deeds, or even offset the merits and demerits, and win the trust of that mysterious powerful man again?"
It has to be said that Hu Xiao is belittling himself. Although he claims to be just a common man who has no other skills except fighting, his speculation at this time is enough to prove Hu Xiao's keen insight into the changes in people's hearts.
and a deep understanding of interest relationships.
During this period of time, although Huo Zhengyuan has been protecting Hu Xiao and living under the same roof with Hu Xiao, he has not disclosed much information to Hu Xiao from beginning to end, but Hu Xiao can still detect it through various clues.
Once you understand part of the truth, you cannot say that he is just a common man based on this insight alone.
On the other side, Jiang Xiao's eyes flickered even more as Hu Xiao explained his thoughts.
Finally, Jiang Xiao turned to look at Hu Xiao seriously and asked: "You have said so much, just hoping that I will not abandon you when I break out of the siege, right? Okay! Since you want to show sincerity, then first
Tell me, whose hand is the knife in your hand? And why are you related to Huo Zhengyuan and why can you get Huo Zhengyuan's protection? "
Hu Xiao was still frank and said: "I have been wandering in Nanyang for these years. I am a pirate leader in name, but in fact the pirate gang I belong to is the peripheral force of the Dutch Nanyang Governor Rutte. I often
I secretly did some wet and dirty work for that Governor Lutte! And the reason why I got in touch with Huo Zhengyuan was also very simple, because this great scholar Huo secretly sent someone to get in touch with Governor Lutte.
, seems to want to reach some kind of cooperation, but the specific content of the cooperation needs to be further explored, but in my opinion, the cooperation between the two parties must be of great significance, and it is definitely something that cannot be seen in the light!"
After hearing this, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately understood the significance of the information provided by Hu Xiao.
Over the years, Jiang Xiao has been working for Zhu Hejian, and is no longer a common man who knows nothing about temple affairs, so he knows very well that once the secret collusion with foreign forces is exposed, there will be public turmoil within the temple.
What kind of uproar was caused.
It can be said that the seriousness of this kind of thing is definitely no less than that of Zhu Hejian secretly raising dead soldiers.
The point is, as Huo Zhengyuan is Zhao Junchen’s confidant, does his private collusion with foreign forces have anything to do with Zhao Junchen?
Once such important information falls into the hands of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, it will definitely play a decisive role at a critical moment!
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, as long as the current difficulties are successfully overcome and this information is handed over to Zhu Hejian, it will be enough to make Jiang Xiao offset his merits and demerits, and it will also be enough to make Zhu Hejian temporarily forgive him.
Jiang Xiao acted without authorization.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
He knew very well why Hu Xiao would hand over such important information so frankly.
The reason is simple - Hu Xiao wants to use this information to directly contact the person behind Jiang Xiao, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.
After all, the crisis Hu Xiao faced at this time was not just the roundup by the Jinyiwei and the Nanjing defenders. Even if he successfully escaped from the roundup by the Jinyiwei and the Nanjing defenders, Hu Xiao still had to face Jiang.
The owl's revenge!
Even after they escape from the siege in front of them, Jiang Xiao will no longer have any scruples when taking revenge, and Hu Xiao's situation will only be a narrow escape.
But after Hu Xiao took the initiative to reveal this important information, the situation became completely different.
Under such circumstances, Hu Xiao has become a key witness and can play a more critical role in the future. Jiang Xiao cannot directly kill him for revenge. Instead, he needs to save his life and take him to see Qi Xiao.
Prince Zhu Hejian.
Otherwise, Jiang Xiao would not be able to prove the authenticity of this information to Zhu Hejian, and Zhu Hejian would not be able to use this information to gain maximum benefits.
But if Hu Xiao and Zhu Hejian were allowed to meet directly, with Hu Xiao's eloquent tongue, he would most likely be able to win Zhu Hejian's protection and allow Zhu Hejian to personally block Jiang Xiao's revenge.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao is naturally in a dilemma - if he wants to continue to be loyal to Zhu Hejian in exchange for Zhu Hejian's understanding, there is a high probability that he will not be able to avenge Hu Xiao, and if he insists on revenge against Hu Xiao, it will not only further undermine Zhu Hejian
Zhu Hejian's future plans will definitely be regarded as hidden dangers and will be abandoned voluntarily.
At the same time, Jiang Xiao also had to admire Hu Xiao's slickness. Even in the face of such a lifeless situation, he could still take advantage of the complex interests of all parties and still find ways to solve the problem.
Various small opportunities that passed by in an instant, once again found a glimmer of hope for myself.
And when Jiang Xiao was in a dilemma, Hu Xiao once again put his arm on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, still looking intimate, and said with a smile: "How is it? This information of mine will be very useful to you and your behind-the-scenes work."
It's all very important to that mysterious powerful man, right? I'm telling you such key information without any reservation. Is that fair enough? Does it show sincerity?
Third brother, as the saying goes, you must not want to owe me a favor, so you should also tell me how you want to escape from the encirclement next? And... which powerful person have you been working for over the years?
?”
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Xiao to tell Hu Xiao these things, so he just remained silent, secretly thinking about how he should deal with Hu Xiao.
When Hu Xiao saw that Jiang Xiao didn't speak, he didn't care. Instead, he smiled playfully again, but his next words shocked Jiang Xiao again.
"Since you don't want to say it, let me guess! Well... the only way for us people to survive is that the government is worried about the lives of many hostages in the temple, so they agreed to our conditions to ensure that
On the premise of the lives of all hostages, withdraw the siege of Jin Yiwei and Nanjing defenders, and let us escape from Nanjing city!
There is no doubt that the chance of this kind of thing is slim. If the government compromises with the bandits, it will definitely lose face. In the eyes of the government, the safety of the hostages in the temple must be far less important than the dignity of the court. Even if they give up
All the hostages will never let us get away!
But you, Third Brother, seem to be very confident that you can escape and break out, which means... you believe that the government will definitely compromise and let us escape in the name of ensuring the lives of the hostages! Therefore, the mysterious powerful man behind your scenes is
There is someone in charge in Nanjing City. You believe that he will secretly assist your plan, right?
In this way, since you don't want to say it clearly, Third Brother, I will know who the mysterious powerful man is sooner or later. I just need to observe which big shot is willing to agree to our negotiation terms! If I don't expect it,
Oh no, the powerful man who is willing to agree to our negotiated terms and let us get away is the mastermind behind you, Lao San, right?"
Jiang Xiao took a deep look at Hu Xiao and said slowly: "As expected of you, you are still so smart and sharp, but you are also very stupid and slow, because you should not show your intelligence and sharpness at this time!"
Hu Xiao chuckled, shrugged and said: "I'm just eager to know who the mysterious powerful man is. How can someone like you, Third Brother, be willing to serve him loyally! But now, Third Brother, you have caused big trouble.
That mysterious powerful man will abandon you at any time, or even take the initiative to destroy you, so if I can know the identity of that mysterious powerful man in advance, I can also help you plan something in advance, right? I am thinking about you wholeheartedly!"
In fact, after long-term contact with Huo Zhengyuan, Hu Xiao knew far more than Jiang Xiao expected. Even the true identity of the mysterious powerful man behind Jiang Xiao, Hu Xiao had roughly guessed the truth, and
There is no need to ask Jiang Xiao specifically for the answer.
But Hu Xiao just wanted to induce Jiang Xiao to take the initiative to tell the answer.
Disclosing secrets and telling each other candidly is undoubtedly one of the best ways to enhance relationships and ease conflicts.
Under Hu Xiao's guidance, as long as Jiang Xiao is willing to take the initiative to tell the true identity of the person behind the scenes, the follow-up cooperation between the two parties will be closer, and Jiang Xiao's thoughts will quietly change.
The hostility will also decrease slightly again.
Jiang Xiao seemed to have guessed Hu Xiao's true plan, but he seemed to be unaware of it and just remained silent again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just as the atmosphere between the two gradually cooled down, a "Chaofeng" soldier hurriedly climbed onto the roof and reported to Jiang Xiao: "Boss Jiang
, the government has sent someone to negotiate with us!"
Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Who came to negotiate with us?"
The "Chaofeng" dead man quickly replied: "It's Mr. Lu of the Lu family! He said that he came to negotiate with us on behalf of the Seventh Prince!"
When answering, the tone of the "Chaofeng" dead soldier was a little excited. It seemed that because of Lu De's appearance in negotiations, they had found hope of completely resolving the current predicament.
But Jiang Xiao didn't have much emotional change. He just turned his head and looked at Hu Xiao, his eyes full of non-negotiable warning.
After noticing the warning in Jiang Xiao's eyes, Hu Xiao also retracted his arm on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, third brother, at this time, the overall situation is of course the most important thing. I will not continue to mess around and let you
If you are in trouble, just have a private conversation with that young master of the Lu family alone, and I will not forcefully participate and make you an eyesore."
Jiang Xiao snorted and quickly climbed off the roof, leaving Hu Xiao alone standing there with a half-smiling smile.
*
But he said that after Jiang Xiao got off the roof, he immediately saw Lu De standing in the courtyard.
At the same time, Lu De also saw Jiang Xiao's appearance and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
After walking in front of Jiang Xiao, Lu De said directly with a serious expression: "I have known for a long time that you are lawless, but I didn't expect that you would make such a big fuss! Do you know that your unauthorized actions are not allowed to the Seventh Prince?
How much trouble and risk has it caused? I don’t need to tell you, you should also know that all the forces in Nanjing City will not let you go, but the other forces still want to keep you alive, and His Highness the Seventh Prince... now
I just want to prevent future troubles at all costs! Don’t blame His Highness the Seventh Prince for being ruthless, you brought it all on yourself!"
Jiang Xiao nodded slowly, and just when he was about to say something, Lu De said: "However, thinking of the old relationship, I have a way to save you! But before I say this way, you need to swear first... that I will not do it in the future.
Tell no one what I am going to say next! Even His Highness the Seventh Prince must keep it a secret!"
