"However, thinking about my old relationship, I have a way to save you! But before I tell you this way, you need to swear first... that you will not reveal what I am going to say to anyone in the future! Even His Highness the Seventh Prince,
Keep it a secret!"
Jiang Xiao took a deep look at Lu De, and then waved the few "Chaofeng" dead soldiers around him to retreat far away.
Afterwards, Jiang Xiao said slowly: "As Mr. Lu said, I brought the situation to this point all by myself! Because I was arrogant and arrogant. I always thought I could control the overall situation, but I was blinded by hatred. In the end,
He is playing with fire and burning himself, ruining His Highness the Seventh Prince's plan and putting His Highness into danger..."
When making this statement, Jiang Xiao did not show any sign of self-blame, as if he was commenting on something that had nothing to do with him.
After a pause, Jiang Xiao continued: "...So, although I am not willing to surrender without mercy, I also understand His Highness's desire to eliminate hidden dangers! However, even if His Highness wants to eliminate hidden dangers at any cost, at least
Should I be rescued from the siege of the Jin Yiwei and the Nanjing garrison first? Do you still want to silence me directly? But if there is something wrong with the silence, and I am captured alive by various forces, what will your Highness do?
Is good?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiao was really not willing to be silenced by Zhu Hejian, Lu De's eyes flashed with joy.
But on the surface, Lu De still looked serious and hummed: "It seems that you are still lucky. You just want His Highness to fully cooperate with you first, and use the excuse of rescuing the hostages to persuade all parties in Nanjing to let you escape safely.
Round up, and then find a way to win His Highness's understanding and trust again, right?
Stop dreaming! The last time we met, I told you that when His Highness is about to take over as Crown Prince, the 'Chaofeng' organization is no longer a help and arm, but has become a hidden danger and a drag! So!
, regardless of whether you acted without authorization this time, Your Highness will abandon you sooner or later. But because of your unauthorized actions, His Highness’s determination to abandon you has become stronger, and the time to abandon you has been greatly advanced! With His Highness’s temperament
, no matter how much you try to win his forgiveness in the future, or how much you try to make meritorious deeds, he will never change his mind!
In fact, His Highness the Seventh Prince has formulated a comprehensive plan. How to help you out of trouble, and how to eliminate your hidden dangers after helping you out of trouble, have all been planned. You and the 'Chaofeng' dead man will not find out.
Any opportunity to defend yourself will inevitably result in no resistance!"
After saying that, Lu De proposed the "lowest strategy" he proposed to Zhu Hejian - that is, Zhu Hejian personally came forward to exchange with many hostages in the charity hall, took the opportunity to regain control of the "Chaofeng" organization, and then personally took over the "Chaofeng"
The organization introduced a plan to wipe out all the people in ambush - and told Jiang Xiao in detail.
However, according to Lu De, this poisonous plan was thought up by Zhu Hejian himself. Lu De did not play any role in it. Instead, he persuaded Zhu Hejian to leave a way for Jiang Xiao and the dead soldiers of "Chaofeng" to survive.
It's just that Zhu Hejian has made up his mind to completely eliminate the hidden danger of "mocking the wind", so he refuses to listen.
It was clearly the plan proposed by Lu De, but now Lu De told Jiang Xiao everything about the plan, and also passed the blame for making the plan to Zhu Hejian. This approach was undoubtedly deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth.
Sow discord.
But Lu De was not worried that his approach would be exposed.
The reason is very simple, because the life and death of Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" soldiers are now in Lu De's hands.
If it is discovered that Jiang Xiao is unwilling to cooperate with him, Lu De will directly tell Zhu Hejian that Jiang Xiao is no longer loyal after leaving Shantang. According to the countermeasures discussed by Lu De and Zhu Hejian, once it is discovered that Jiang Xiao is not
After becoming loyal again, Zhu Hejian would immediately force the Jinyi guards to rush into the charity hall and kill all the survivors. Even if this approach would cause a lot of criticism, Zhu Hejian would not hesitate.
Therefore, while Lu De told Zhu Hejian's follow-up plan frankly, he stared closely at Jiang Xiao's expression changes and continued to ask with a sneer: "Now that you know His Highness's follow-up plan, do you have any countermeasures?"
?”
Jiang Xiao's face became increasingly gloomy. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said: "There is no countermeasure! The dead soldiers of 'Chaofeng' are currently willing to obey my orders, just because His Highness the Seventh Prince cannot command them directly. If His Highness the Seventh Prince takes the initiative,
Entering this charity hall, the Seventh Prince must be the main among the 'Chaofeng' warriors! Therefore, no matter what His Highness the Seventh Prince's follow-up plan is, I am powerless to resist!"
Quietly, Jiang Xiao's address to Zhu Hejian had changed from "His Royal Highness" to "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince". He still retained some respect, but he had also become much more distant.
Lu De nodded lightly: "Yes, the dead soldiers of 'Chaofeng' have been brainwashed for many years and have sworn to be loyal to His Highness the Seventh Prince forever, and their relatives and families are all under the control of His Highness the Seventh Prince. Even if you
No matter how high their prestige is in the 'Chao Feng', these dead soldiers are more willing to obey the orders of His Highness the Seventh Prince. Next, whether the Seventh Prince shows up here on his own initiative and asks them to carry out the hostage exchange plan, or he takes you out of trouble.
After that, I will lead you into an ambush. The dead soldiers of 'Chaofeng' will obey orders without thinking, and you can't resist at all! Therefore, your current situation is a narrow escape from death! The soldiers and horses from all sides surrounding Nanjing Shantang are also
Under the orders of His Highness the Seventh Prince, you cannot surrender to the imperial court even if you want to!"
Jiang Xiao suddenly laughed: "Since it's just a narrow escape, it means Mr. Lu still has a way to resolve the predicament and rescue us, right? But I don't know what your method is?"
Lu De still stared at Jiang Xiao closely and said: "My method is actually very simple. You just need to make up your mind..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Afterwards, Lu De told Jiang Xiao in detail about his plan.
This is also Rudd's real plan.
If this plan is successfully realized, he can not only help Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers escape, but also force the seventh prince Zhu Hejian to hold his nose and continue to reuse Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" organization.
At the same time, although Zhu Hejian will hold his nose and continue to reuse Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" organization, he will also be unable to directly contact Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" organization for a long time. The two sides can only use Lu De as an intermediary to convey their respective opinions.
kind of news!
In this way, it is equivalent to letting Lu De control this dead soldier organization, and Lu De can use Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" organization to stab Zhu Hejian in the back at any time!
On the other side, after Jiang Xiao listened to Lu De's plan, he looked at Lu De more seriously than ever before.
Jiang Xiao is also a smart man. Of course he can see what Lu De's plan means to the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, to himself, and to the "Chaofeng" organization!
Once Lu De's plan is realized, Jiang Xiao and the "Chaofeng" organization can certainly escape disaster, and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian can continue to hide the secret of raising dead soldiers in private, but the person who will benefit the most is undoubtedly
Lu De himself.
Although Jiang Xiao is a ruthless gangster who kills without mercy, he is also a person with clear grudges. Under his ruthless appearance, there is even a very obvious virtue of loyalty hidden.
According to the judgment of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Jiang Xiao has always longed for some sense of group belonging deep in his heart, whether he was joining the army in Liaodong, or when he was a member of the "Eight Owls in the World", or when he was in the world.
As the leader of the "Chaofeng" organization over the years, Jiang Xiao has always done his best and has never actively betrayed his organization. This is one of the reasons why Zhu Hejian has always trusted Jiang Xiao.
Therefore, even though Lu De had made it clear about the current attitude of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Jiang Xiao still did not intend to betray Zhu Hejian on his own initiative, because his life was originally given by Zhu Hejian, and his current situation was all caused by himself.
Even if Zhu Hejian wanted to abandon him, Jiang Xiao himself was at fault after a closer look, so Jiang Xiao still fantasizes that he can redeem himself and earn Zhu Hejian's trust.
To a large extent, the reason why Jiang Xiao was always unable to do anything to Hu Xiao was because Jiang Xiao was too clear on grudges.
At the same time, in Jiang Xiao's mind, Lu De's loyalty to Zhu Hejian was extremely suspicious. Once Lu De took the opportunity to control the "Chaofeng" organization, it would definitely become a major hidden danger lurking around Zhu Hejian.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao looked at Lu De with sharp eyes and questioned: "According to your plan, the 'Chaofeng' organization will no longer be able to directly contact His Highness the Seventh Prince from now on.
Whether 'Chaofeng' issues an order or whether 'Chaofeng' organization reports news to His Highness the Seventh Prince, you can only be responsible for conveying it! What a good calculation! What a good calculation! In this way, 'Chaofeng' is equivalent to being under your control
, and His Highness the Seventh Prince has to use you more and more, you really take advantage of it!"
Lu De looked at Jiang Xiao without flinching, and said calmly: "I did take advantage of the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits, and I wanted to take the opportunity to win more important positions from His Highness the Seventh Prince, but it was just for the sake of it. I mainly did it in passing.
I still want to protect you and 'Chaofeng', and I wholeheartedly consider His Highness the Seventh Prince!
In my opinion, His Highness the Seventh Prince should not have given up on you so easily, because even if he takes over the position of Crown Prince, it will definitely not be smooth sailing in the future. Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen and other powerful officials are full of hostility towards him, and they will definitely stumble at every turn.
Son, he still needs you dead warriors to hide in the dark and fight for him!
It's a pity that His Highness the Seventh Prince has made up his mind and is unwilling to listen to my advice, so I have no choice but to make my own decisions... You don't have to worry about my sincerity and loyalty. With your means and ability, you will naturally be able to find a solution in the future.
Check and balance me, right?
Moreover, after the situation in Nanjing comes to an end, I will also find ways to resolve the conflicts between you and His Highness as much as possible, and strive for various opportunities for you to make meritorious deeds, so that sooner or later you can serve His Highness directly again!"
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xiao would never agree to Lu De's plan.
But in the current situation, Jiang Xiao found that he had no choice.
"For the time being, I promise him that if I find out that he has evil intentions in the future, I will bypass him and try to contact His Highness directly to expose his deviant intentions to His Highness... Maybe it will be another opportunity to make meritorious deeds! What's more, I also used Hu Xiao
Having mastered the key information about Huo Zhengyuan, maybe after I meet with His Highness next time, I can use this information to directly exchange for his understanding, so that I no longer have to act according to Lu De's plan..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao made up his mind, with a smile on his cold face, and nodded: "Okay! In that case, let's follow your plan! As long as you can protect me and the 'Chaofeng' organization,
From now on, I will still be loyal to His Highness the Seventh Prince wholeheartedly, so I will never reveal to anyone the content of the conversation between you and me. In the future, under His Highness’s sect, you and I will be a die-hard ally who takes care of each other!"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
While speaking, Lu De and Jiang Xiao both raised their hands and high-fived each other as an oath.
Lu De knew in his heart that even if his follow-up plan was successfully realized, Jiang Xiao would definitely be wary of him secretly in the future so that he would not be able to control "Chaofeng" as he pleased.
But Lu De is not only good at stirring up trouble and deceiving superiors, but he is also very good at boiling frogs in warm water. As long as Zhu Hejian and Jiang Xiao cannot get in direct contact for a long time, he will become the only intermediary contact between the two parties.
, Lu De is confident that he can completely control "Chaofeng".
After the two high-fived each other, they discussed many details again.
Lu De and Jiang Xiao were both shrewd and capable people, and they quickly agreed on most of the details.
At this moment, Lu De suddenly heard a careless sound coming from not far behind Jiang Xiao.
"Third brother, have you and Mr. Lu already discussed the follow-up countermeasures? If you have already discussed it, then I would also like to have a few words with Mr. Lu, okay?"
After hearing this voice, Jiang Xiao's face suddenly darkened.
Obviously, Hu Xiao is here to disrupt the situation again.
Lu De also subconsciously looked up, and was startled by Hu Xiao's ferocious appearance after his face was burned and his skin was torn and bloody.
For Jiang Xiao, Hu Xiao's facial burns only looked serious, but were actually just skin injuries. Although they were completely disfigured, they were not life-threatening, so Jiang Xiao didn't care about Hu Xiao's facial burns at all.
But Lu De was different. When he saw that Hu Xiao's face was obviously bruised and bloody, but he still walked towards him with a ferocious smile, he couldn't help but panic in his heart and subconsciously took a step back.
But then, Lu De quickly thought of something and asked: "Are you... Huo Zhengyuan's bodyguard?"
Then, Lu De looked at Jiang Xiao again and asked: "I heard that you made such a big fuss tonight just to hunt down the guards under the command of Academician Huo. Is this the person? But I think you
The current situation is like working together, why?"
Jiang Xiao did not answer Lu De's question, but looked at Hu Xiao warily and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Hu Xiao stared at Lu De closely and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just want to ask Mr. Lu to do me a small favor! For Mr. Lu, it's just a piece of cake. For your follow-up plans, it's just a matter of effort.
