Arriving at Xuejialou, Wang Mi went straight to the private room on the second floor.
When noble people meet, of course they cannot sit in the lobby. There are people everywhere and it is very noisy. How can we talk about business?
"Why do we have an appointment at such a place?" He complained secretly.
I really have some opinions about this meeting place.
This is too eye-catching, and the person he is going to meet today should obviously keep a low profile.
"Shilang Wang, you are finally here."
"I've been waiting for a long time."
"I thought you wouldn't come." Yan
The middle-aged man stood up and when he got closer, Wang Mi realized that he was lame. He had never noticed it when they met in the court in the past.
It can be seen that he has been pretending very well.
"General Yin, you are really brave. You actually made an appointment at this place. Aren't you afraid that Aning will see you?"
This is the busiest place in the center of Jiankang City. Yin Zhongkan actually made an appointment with him here. When he received the invitation, Wang Mi was completely confused.
One is that Yin Zhongkan, Wang Gong’s biggest fan, actually personally handed him a name card to invite him, and the other is that this location is really unique.
Xuejialou.
Yin Zhongkan's mind is really beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Yan
How did he choose this place?
In this Jiankang city, there are more than one or two people who know that Yin Zhongkan is Wang Gong's die-hard man. If they see him, the matter will become a big deal.
Of course, Wang Mi is not worried about causing trouble, but what about Yin Zhongkan?
Do you really not care?
In fact, Wang Mi could vaguely guess Yin Zhongkan's intention for this meeting, although only a little.
I'm definitely here to discuss cooperation.
There will be no other possibility. Yan
If it weren't for cooperation, why would a die-hard Wang Gong take the initiative to hand Wang Mi a name card and express his desire to meet?
You can't use yourself as bait to murder Wang Mi!
Now that I have this idea, I am probably not afraid that Wang Gong will find out.
"What about here?"
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, or is Wang Shilang worried about being exposed?" Yin Zhongkan introduced Wang Mi to his seat and began to tease.
Only then did Wang Mi realize that Yin Zhongkan, who had always been informal in speaking and laughing, was actually a person who knew how to joke.
"Of course not, I'm worried about you." Yan
"After all, you and An-Ning are very close, and my relationship with An-Ning is not a good one these days."
"It's always a bit dangerous for us to meet like this."
Yin Zhongkan poured a glass of wine for Wang Mi and nodded: "You are right. Thank you very much for your concern, Minister Wang. However, since I dare to meet here, I have made preparations. You can rest assured."
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank General Yin. Thanks to General Yin, my good brother Wei Yongzhi was able to recover."
"Now, he speaks much more eloquently than before, and he is more confident. This is all the result of General Yin."
Of course, Wang Mi was not clear about the true purpose of Yin Zhongkan's trip, so using his good brother's illness as the starting point was a good test.
"Shilang Wang is too polite." Yan
"Since the day I studied medicine, I have been committed to relieving people's illnesses. It is also an honor for me to be able to make brother Yongzhi recover."
The flattery is quite spot on, and it turns out that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
When the food was served, Wang Mi and Yin Zhongkan chatted while eating, and Wang Mi also took this opportunity to look at Yin Zhongkan again.
In the past, I thought he was a taciturn person, but indeed he was resourceful. But now it seems that his resourcefulness has not diminished, but his character is not as gloomy as when he stayed with Wang Gong.
"Speaking of which, I have known Shilang Wang for a long time. You didn't even know me at that time!" Yin Zhongkan said with a smile.
"Why did General Yin say this?"
Yin Zhongkan knows him well? Yan
This was really beyond Wang Mi's expectation.
Zhong Kan continued: "I heard what brother Yongzhi said. In order to treat the illness that caused his mouth to break open, brother Yongzhi stayed in my house for more than a month. During this more than a month, we also established a deep relationship.
Friendship.”
"If Brother Yong follows you back to Jiankang this time, we must have a drink."
"At that time, the one that Brother Yong talked about the most was you."
"Brother Yongzhi told me that Wang Shilang, you are the most resourceful person he has ever seen. With you in charge of Beifu, Beifu will definitely be very different."
"At that time, I thought that he was bragging and deliberately showing favoritism because he and you were brothers. Now that I see it, in fact, brother Yongzhi's vision is very accurate, and Wang Shilang is indeed extraordinary."
This is really... strict
It was blowing too much.
It feels good. I can only say that the praise I hear from my former enemies is indeed more pleasing to the ears than the praise I hear from my own family.
"General Yin has given you the reward."
"I am able to achieve where I am today mainly because I thank you for giving me the opportunity. In fact, I don't have any special talents."
Although no one will believe this if you say it, but at this time, you still need to be humble.
Yin Zhongkan did not answer his question, but continued: "I'm afraid that Wang Shilang will be very surprised when I hand over the name card this time."
He wanted to admit this. Wang Mi nodded.
"Honestly, I was really scared."
"General Yin, why did you remember meeting me?"
Let's talk, let's be honest, let's get to the point!
Yin Zhongkan also had this intention: "This matter is a long story. Wang Shilang is a smart man, and he will not say hypocritical words to smart people."
"Back then, Aning and I did have a very good relationship, and we were sworn friends, as you know."
"Back then, you and Aning had a good relationship."
"Over the years, Aning has always had smooth sailing. When the late emperor was still here, he trusted him and left all major and minor matters to him. Of course, at that time, what Aning couldn't stand the most was actually
Sima Daozi." Yan
"Because of his Taoism, Aning was still very motivated at that time and wanted to be reused and trusted by the late emperor."
"But of course, this is in vain. He is just a relative, and Daozi and the late emperor are brothers. How can they be compared?"
"After Daozi died, the late emperor also passed away. In this way, all Aning's major obstacles disappeared."
"The Queen Mother is the regent. As my brother, Aning will of course be reused. There is no telling."
"However, it was also from that time that I noticed the changes in Aning."
Unknowingly, Yin Zhongkan started to talk about Wang Gong's change in mentality. Although Wang Mi was not interested in knowing why Wang Gong became like this, but as a prelude, Yin Zhongkan wanted to say that he
It won't stop either.
Moreover, these reports are not without any valuable information. Yan
For example, it turns out that Wang Gong did not hate him at the beginning, but after Sima Daozi passed away and lost his competitors, he started to pay attention to him.
Of course, this naturally includes the reason why Wang Mi's career is getting bigger and bigger, and his power is getting bigger and bigger.
If Wang Mi collapsed and made a fool of himself in Xiangyang, Wang Gong would not do anything to him, and perhaps he could continue to be friends with him.
But who made Wang Mi succeed?
Moreover, this success is not just a simple small achievement, it is a huge success, and it is a continuous success.
This makes Wang Gong, who has never had much actual achievements, how can he not be envious?
So envy and jealousy turned into a kind of lingering disgust and hatred.
It can be said that it was not Wang Mi who did anything wrong, it was precisely because he was so good that Wang Gong's incompetence was highlighted.
Which then made him angry.
"what about now?"
"What does Aning think of me now?"
"Don't you want to kill me?" Wang Mi was most worried about this, so he pretended to be joking.
Yin Zhongkan looked stern and hurriedly denied: "You are overthinking this. So far, Aning doesn't have the guts."
"If you don't have the guts, does that mean you still have this idea?" Wang Mi thought about Yin Zhongkan's words carefully and came to this conclusion. Yan
Zhong Kan hesitated.
"I'm not sure about this, but as long as you don't unite with the Beifu soldiers, I don't think Aning will do that."
"Always save face and leave room."
Yes.
Room is something that the children of aristocratic families must consider carefully before acting.
The so-called aristocratic family is also a circle, and the people in the circle, of course, fight fiercely secretly, but on the surface, they are still relatively united.
People outside the aristocratic family are absolutely excluded, while people within the aristocratic family must be looked up to and ignored. Yan Yan
The most basic rule is to leave room for each other and not to push things to the limit.
They are a small group who will never save face for people outside the aristocratic family. As long as their interests are infringed, they will spare no effort to kill them.
And for people within the circle, they always have to save face for each other.
Obviously, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family are both in the same circle, and they should still have some respect for each other.
However, Wang Mi now definitely does not dare to take risks.
It is impossible for him to bet his wealth and life on that illusory face. What if Wang Gong jumps over the wall in a hurry?
It’s better to take precautions in advance. Yan
"So, General Yin wants to cooperate with Beifu?"
Now that we are all sitting together, we can explain some things clearly without being secretive.
Yin Zhongkan held the wine glass in his hand and was slightly stunned.
Then he said happily: "What Mr. Wang said is right."
"Yin really wants to cooperate, but I don't know if Wang Shilang can accept it?"
"Accept it, why don't you accept it?" Wang Mi picked up the wine cup and touched one with him.
The two wine cups touched together and made a crisp sound. Yan
Wang Mi was so calm, Yin Zhongkan couldn't believe it.
"Aren't you afraid that we deliberately set up a trap to harm you?" He looked directly at Wang Mi and asked.
Wang Mi smiled happily: "Afraid, why aren't you afraid?"
"To tell you the truth, I have analyzed you guys before. You are the smartest one around Aning and you have a lot of tricks. To be honest, if you two become a rope, I will be most afraid of you.
That’s you.”
When Wang Mi pointed out that he was a conspirator, Yin Zhongkan couldn't help but blush.
"However, apart from you, the other people don't pose much of a threat, even Aning."
"If Aning really intends to send a spy here, then you, General Yin, are indeed the best choice." Yan
"For others, it's simply impossible."
"We discovered it before anyone could get involved. In other words, we couldn't get in at all."
This is the truth, and Yin Zhongkan couldn't help but laugh.
Who else could be there besides him?
It was known that Wang Xun had returned to the Langya Wang family and would not be with them anymore, and Xi Hui, with his fiery temper, would not do such an errand even if he was given one.
It seems that the most suitable person is indeed Yin Zhongkan.
"Even if I am the only one worthy of this responsibility, how can you trust me so easily? Aren't you worried that I am up to something secretly?" Yan
Generally speaking, there will be such worries.
After all, Yin Zhongkan was once a die-hard general on Wang Gong's side, and his position was very important.
Yin Zhongkan was very nervous, but Wang Mi's expression was extremely natural.
It was as if nothing happened and no anecdotes were heard.
"so what?"
"If you want to mess with me, you have to hand over the meeting gift first. Do you think I will believe you so easily?"
"Personally, I have no ill feelings towards you, General Yin. In fact, you saved my brother, and I am very grateful to you." Yan
"Being friends, no problem."
"Besides, I don't intend to embarrass you."
"Now, I understand your kindness, but I have no other requirements for you. Letting you betray An Ning would also be unfair to An Ning."
"Aning is very pitiful now. I can't drag people away from him anymore. That would be too heartless."
"Besides, it's also very dangerous for me. What if I corner him?"
Yin Zhongkan nodded silently: This first reason is probably just an excuse, but the second one is indeed a real concern.
Wang Gong is always narrow-minded. If his friends leave one after another, I am afraid that even if he doesn't want to kill Wang Zhiyuan, he will want to kill him. Yan
"So, if General Yin is sincerely cooperating with me, then we might as well maintain the status quo. If Aning takes action first, I hope General Yin will not take action against me."
"This is enough. As long as General Yin can keep silent about the actions to frame me and not take any action, I will be satisfied."
This is indeed a way, Yin Zhongkan thought.
And, frankly speaking, if this is done, the current situation can be maintained for both parties. Even Wang Gong will not be wary of him, which is also very beneficial to Yin Zhongkan.
You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
"Then, what if it's Wang Shilang who makes the first move?"
"Is this possible?" Yan
I have to say that Wang Mi is still very confident in this matter.
In the energy comparison between the two, it is obvious that he has the absolute advantage, and the person with the advantage will naturally be able to sit still.
How is it possible to jump up first?
However, Yin Zhongkan refused to let him go and was still staring at him. Wang Mi had no choice but to tell the truth to comfort him.
"Of course I won't do anything to you, but I can't guarantee that for others."
"Is it okay to say so?"
"Okay." Yan
"What I want is your words." With that said, Yin Zhongkan picked up the wine cup and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.
There was actually a certain sense of determination.
