The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 6: Gold Spy

I smiled and waved and said: ‘Chi Ji, take a seat for Xia Gongzi, you go down first. Bring some refreshments, presumably Young Master Xia is already hungry. ‘

Chi Ji turned around and went out. He could not bring a refreshment, and then backed off. Xia Jinyi got a seat and quickly gobbled up. After a while, he burped, and when he was full, he almost collapsed on the chair. Go up, look at me and say:’My lord, please give me orders. ‘

I said lightly: ‘Do you know who I am? ‘

Xia Jinyi said calmly: ‘I already know that you are Sima of the Tiance Commander Mansion, and I have heard your name from the brother. I heard that you are Lord Jiang Zhejiang, the one who killed the King of Shu with a single word. ‘

I smiled and said: ‘You forgot to say, I’m from Nanchu, I was removed from office by the lord, and now I changed my course and voted for King Yong. ‘

Xia Jinyi smiled and said: ‘what does it matter, since Nan Chu looks down on you, I heard that King Yong still values ​​talents, and it’s not wrong for adults to vote for King Yong. ‘

I said calmly: “Well, I should have asked about your life experience, but there is no need to think about it, but if you have any special enemies or special experiences without telling them, if there are any surprises in the future Don’t blame me for being unpredictable. ‘

Xia Jinyi thought about it: ‘The Caomin doesn’t have anything special to report, but the Caomin’s writing cannot be done. Wu is not enough. I don’t know what I can do for adults. ‘

I said lightly: ‘It’s very simple, you still go to the prince, but I want you to be the confidant of the prince. ‘

Xia Jinyi said in amazement: ‘My lord, how can I be close to the prince as a small person? ‘

I didn’t speak, I picked up a piece of paper with some densely packed small characters written on it, and handed it to Xia Jinyi. After reading it, Xia Jinyi looked unpredictable and said, ‘My lord, is it that simple? ‘

I laughed and said: “Yes, I don’t want you to spy on secrets, nor do you want to contact us, just let you get the crown prince’s favor according to my plan. To be honest, you are a temperamental man, although you can’t be a competent subordinate, But being a fortunate minister is more than tactical. I have arranged that you can get the conditions required by the prince’s pampering. Next, it depends on you. You only need to grasp one principle, which is to let the prince indulge yourself. When appropriate, say a few divorced words, but remember that only King Qi is involved. Otherwise, you must listen to the Prince’s orders. Even if you do something bad, you must do it, even if you listen. When it comes to some secrets, even if they are about to harm King Yong, you don’t need to pay attention to it. You know, today is the only time we meet, and if we meet in the future, I won’t tell you anything about tonight. thing. ‘

Although Xia Jinyi didn’t understand my intention, he nodded and said: “Understood, the adults have allowed me to be favored by the prince, and other things are up to me. In fact, I just want to please the prince and eat and drink with the prince. Just have fun. ‘

I nodded and said: “Yes, you can tell Brother Ling from the information of the Fairview Band. At least you can enter the Prince’s Mansion through this matter and get the Prince’s appreciation. After that, you will rely on your cleverness. I will give it to you. The three prescriptions are a superb formula, which can help you get the Prince’s favor. The three prescriptions have slightly different effects. You provide them to the Prince in turn. Remember, just say you improved yourself. Since you use Mixiang, So there should be some insight, the prince dare not let the imperial doctor do this kind of thing, so your favor should be no problem. ‘

Xia Jinyi said straightforwardly: “Don’t hide it from an adult, although the villain has never done the evil of picking flowers, but Mixiang does know a thing or two, and the prescription provided by the adult can be understood by the villain, but it is a kind of superior. This kind of prescription can increase the taste without harming the body. As long as it is not used excessively, this kind of prescription is extremely good. ‘

I smiled and said: ‘Okay, this way, I’m more at ease. Do you have any questions? After today, there will be no chance to ask. ‘

Xia Jinyi asked hesitantly: “My lord, are you so assured that the villain will not betray you? ‘

I faintly smiled and said:’Betrayal, what are you betraying me? I will give you information to make you do meritorious service, and I will give you prescriptions for you to be favored by the prince, and I don’t ask you anything. As for playing with the prince, if the prince is wise, How can you be useful to separate King Qi and Prince Qi, even if the prince knows that I let you do this, how can he completely trust King Qi? So if you are smarter, just do as I say, you can be favored, and you don’t have to provoke murder, otherwise, Xiao Shunzi–‘

Xiao Shunzi took out a piece of silver from his arms and grind the silver easily into powder in his palm. Xia Jinyi took a sip of water and looked at me.

I said again: “But I really can’t completely believe you, so let’s write a letter and say that you are the undercover person sent by the Emperor Yong’s Mansion and leave it to me for preservation. If you are lax, I Just let the prince see your writings, don’t say that Yongwang Mansion is going to kill you, even the prince won’t let you go. It’s just my follower, killing you is easy, as long as you forget what happened tonight, take me to With your meeting gifts and prescriptions, then you can easily please the prince and get the glory and wealth you want, but remember, if you are too incapable and cannot get the prince’s favor within two months, then I’m sorry, I had no choice but to kill you before I changed. ‘

Xia Jinyi bowed next: ‘The villain absolutely dare not live up to the adult’s entrustment, the adults can rest assured, the villain is just to please His Royal Highness, there will be no guilt. ‘

I smiled and said: “Okay, just write your notes. I’m waiting to watch your good show. Remember, when the matter is done, you will not avoid being implicated, but rest assured, I will arrange your escape . ‘

Xia Jinyi bowed his head and said: ‘The villain got it. ‘Sure enough, he went to the table and wrote the evidence. Xia Jinyi knew that if he didn’t write, he would be killed immediately. When he finished writing, I said again: ‘come. ‘

It was Chi Ji who came in, and I said lightly:’You go back to the inn to rest first, and tomorrow, did you make an appointment with your brother and then go to Jiangnanchun for a drink? During the dinner, you said that you found the remnants of the Shu Kingdom Jinxiu League Whereabouts, and then the guards of Emperor Yong’s Mansion will follow my order to arrest you and send you to Guanzhonglian, but I think your brother will save you. ‘

Xia Jinyi’s heart jumped again, and said helplessly: ‘The son has such a detailed arrangement, the villain will definitely not make a mistake. ‘

I waved my hand and said: ‘Okay, you have to go back as it is, I won’t send you off. ‘Xia Jinyi was silly at once, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, he followed Chiji out with his head down again.

Sent away Xia Jinyi, Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: ‘My son, do you want me to put the paper away? ‘

I smiled slightly, and lit the silver lamp on the note. Xiao Shunzi looked at me strangely, and I said indifferently: ‘what’s the use of this note, it’s given to the prince, it’s not that it also confirms the charge of our Yongwang Mansion. If Xia Jinyi is smart, he won’t betray us, if he is really that stupid, we won’t have any losses, but I don’t think he will betray us. ‘Looking at the light, I laughed again. If Xia Jinyi betrayed us for such a cheap thing, then he would be the number one fool in Tianzi.

Xia Jinyi was still clicked on the acupuncture point and put it in the box, and returned to the inn room in the early morning. On the way, Xia Jinyi repeatedly thought about how he should do it. He is not a person who abides by faith, but after thinking about it, the other party just gave With the opportunity and means to get the crown prince’s favor, he has a bad reputation and mediocre martial arts. Without these, I am afraid that I will not be able to obtain the coveted glory and wealth in my life. Even if I have said everything, what can I do? Wang Ri is in Zhongtian, how can a little person shake King Yong, thinking of Chiji’s methods, a little entourage is so cruel, then their master’s methods can be imagined, their best way is to follow them If you do, you must get the prince’s favor within two months.

Back to his bed, after the acupuncture points were unlocked, Xia Jinyi sat up and slowly figured out how to speak and act. It was not until after noon that he walked out of the inn and came to Jiangnanchun again. The guys saw that although his complexion had not changed, his eyes were very strange. Who made him offend Guan Zhonglian yesterday, yet he had a drink with the Prince’s Mansion?

Entering the elegantly decorated flower hall, Xia Jinyi saw a few people in Jinyi sitting together talking and laughing at a glance. He stepped forward and bowed to the middle-aged man sitting in the chief with a Chinese character face. Brother, the younger brother is a step late, please forgive me. ‘

The middle-aged man is named Zhang Jinxiong. He is thirty-seven years old this year. He looks very upright. Although his clothes are gorgeous, but he is also ordinary, but his sleeves are very wide. He is the 27th generation of Kongtong School. A disciple, who is outstanding in Qimen Kungfu, Faint has become the best candidate for the next generation. He was originally dedicated to practicing martial arts without the slightest distractions. He never went down the mountain easily except for doing errands under the command of the teacher, but for two years Before, the envoy from Fengyimen came to Kongtong in person, and after a long talk overnight, Zhang Jinxiong was sent to Chang’an to become a fourth-rank guard with swords. Zhang Jin’s male son is square, serious and never willing to go too far, so he quickly gained the trust of the prince and became the chief guard of the prince’s residence. He never pays attention to political disputes. In addition to being responsible for the defense of the Prince’s Mansion, he is practicing qigong. He occasionally goes out for a few drinks with a few close guards. Although he is rigorous and indifferent, he is generous and impartial because of his generosity and fairness. Very respected by subordinates. Strictly speaking, he is not the confidant of the prince, because many things that the prince does not want to be made public are handled by another man, that is, Xing Song, the deputy director.

He saw Xia Jinyi with a smile on his expression, and said lightly:’You are here, come and sit down. These are my subordinates. You will need to take care of them when you enter the house. ? ‘

Xia Jinyi stepped forward and said: ‘Several elder brothers, younger brothers can’t become martial arts. Fortunately, they are a bit clever. If the older brothers don’t dislike it, just leave it to the younger brother to run errands. ‘

A thin middle-aged man smiled and said: “I know, I’ve heard Mr. Zhang say that you guys are all good at eating, drinking, and betting. You just don’t care about martial arts. If it’s not because you know how to advance and retreat, Mr. Zhang. You won’t even let you call him brother. ‘

Xia Jinyi’s face was not red and his heart was not beating: “Of course, my brother loved me. I didn’t learn well at the beginning and I was expelled by the master. If it weren’t for the brother’s plea, my martial arts would have been abandoned. Please also take care of the brothers and a few elders, the younger brother will never dare to cause trouble. ‘

Several people drank this glass of wine with a smile. Zhang Jinxiong was naturally satisfied with the words and deeds of his younger brother, and the guards didn’t mind that this would not pose a threat to themselves. The young man, then began to have a well-trained servant to deliver the exquisite One of the guards picked up the chopsticks and laughed. The famous dish in South Chu really tastes unique, but the name is a bit weird. Look at this dish, although it is delicious, it is called a beautiful liver. Xia Jinyi laughed and said: “This dish is made of duck pancreas, which is duck gizzard, with chicken breasts, winter bamboo shoots, and winter mushrooms. It is fried with duck oil. This name has a source. Well-known talents feasted at Qiushuilou, one of the most famous restaurants in the local area. Who knows that the chefs in the restaurant don’t have the same dishes when garnishing them. If one dish is missing, wouldn’t it be a bad reputation? This chef seems to see, Attracted by the delicate white and pink color of the duck pancreas soaked in the water, it was served with chicken **** and fried in duck oil. The guests appreciated it very much. When asked the name of the dish, the serving guy saw that the color was milky white, smooth and tender. Saying the words’beauty liver’ casually, this dish has this name. In fact, there is another famous dish in Nanchu called Xi Shi Tong? ‘

Several guards said in amazement: ‘Si Shi Tongue. ‘

Xia Jinyi laughed and said: ‘It’s actually the tongue and feet of sea mussels. It’s said that they are fat, white and tender. They are delicious in the world, but they are only easy to eat on the beach. ‘

One of the guards smiled and said: ‘Brother Xia really has a lot of knowledge. If you have a chance, you should try this Xishi tongue. ‘

Xia Jinyi changed his mind and said: “In fact, my younger brother likes Sichuan cuisine the most. I heard that there are many Sichuan restaurants in Chang’an, just like Hongyun Pavilion in Chang’an Metropolitan City and Xizilou in Liren City. Good Sichuan food. ‘

One of the guards sneered and said: “Brother Xia also said that he has been acquainted in Chang’an. Now I can reveal the stuffing. I am the tiger in Chang’an. I don’t know what restaurant is. Hongyun Pavilion is indeed a Sichuan restaurant. The Taibai Duck is the best in the world. Xizilou is one of the best in Qinlou Chu Pavilion. I know that the beauties in it are all slender and moving. There are also many Nanchu women who are said to be sold privately from Nanchu. Although the wine and food are good, they have no special characteristics. I heard that the boss is also an authentic Dayong. How can there be excellent Sichuan cuisine? ‘

Xia Jinyi deliberately surprised and said:’Hey, don’t you know, my little brother roams the world, I can recognize the boss of Xizilou, He Tieshan from the Qingcheng School, his sword skills are very good, hehe, big brother , You know that the younger brother later worshipped the master as a Taoist from Tianduguan, so the younger brother often sells some ointments and medicines. It is a coincidence that he recognized Lao He. That was five or six years ago. Listen. It was said that he was the director of the prince of the Shu Kingdom, and he did not expect to be the big boss now, but to be honest, we people in the rivers and lakes want to make money, and it is really rare for people like him to do this kind of prostitution business. ‘

All the guards, including Zhang Jinxiong, changed their faces. Zhang Jinxiong asked in a deep voice: ‘Did you admit the wrong person? ‘

Xia Jinyi smiled and said: “How is it possible, brother, you know my skills, when the younger brother first came to Chang’an, he settled down in Guanzhonglian, and once went out for a stroll. He met Boss He in front of Xizi Pavilion, but he spent a lot of money in that place. , The little brother was really shy in his pocket, so he didn’t go in. ‘

Looking at Zhang Jinxiong’s iron-green face, Xia Jinyi was very funny in his heart, what about it, seven points are true, three points are false, he has seen this boss, he has been to Shuzhong, and even sells medicine It’s also true, but Boss He has never bought his medicine. He doesn’t know that Boss He is actually a master of the Qingcheng School, the chief of the King of Shu, but it was provided to him by Mr. Jiang from the Yongwang Mansion. I learned something from the information.

Seeing that the atmosphere inside the room is not right, Xia Jinyi did not wait for the senior brother to ask him, and immediately greeted the wine and dishes. A jar of fine wine was just delivered. When Zhang Jinxiong was about to continue questioning, suddenly a cold voice came from outside, saying:’Xia Jinyi, Come out and be bound, I will save you from death. ‘

Xia Jinyi showed a look of panic, looked at Zhang Jinxiong, Zhang Jinxiong glanced at him, and said in a loud voice: ‘Someone is making noise outside, this is the fourth-grade guard with a knife, and Zhang Jinxiong, the chief guard in front of the prince, is here. ‘

A surprised cry came from outside the door, and then someone said loudly: “This is a fourth-grade guard with a knife, Hu Wei, the deputy chief of the Yongwang Mansion, is here, Mr. Zhang, the official is ordered to arrest the criminal Tiance Commander Sima The main culprit of Lord Jiang, the prodigal son Xia Jinyi, why is Lord Zhang here? ‘

Zhang Jinxiong glared at Xia Jinyi fiercely. Xia Jinyi’s face was pale, and Zhang Jinxiong said coldly: ‘Master Hu, please come in and talk. ‘

The door opened, and a mighty, cold-faced man walked in. He was dressed in an official uniform, and he didn’t even look at Xia Jinyi. He stepped up to Zhang Jinxiong and said:’Master Zhang, this officer is ordered to arrest the evil Only, please make it easy. ‘

Zhang Jinxiong looked calmly and said: ‘Although my junior brother is acting foolishly, how can I labor Master Hu till now? ‘

Hu Weidao: “Master Zhang does not know, this officer is now ordered to guard Master Simajiang Zhejiang of the handsome mansion. Yesterday, the adults were drinking here. It coincided with the conflict between Xia Jinyi and Guan Zhonglian. Conflict with Guanzhonglian, the adults ordered that the younger brother should be captured ~IndoMTL.com~ and sent to Guanzhonglian, so Master Zhang was also asked for his convenience. ‘

Zhang Jinxiong’s heart sank. He naturally knew that Sima of the Tiance Commander Mansion was one of the most important ministers under King Yong. He was a small guard in charge, but he couldn’t stop it. But look at the pale look of his junior brother, he Coldly said:’Junior Brother Xia has not violated the king’s law, and you are not Jing Zhaoyin, and you are not qualified to arrest him. Besides, if you are asked to take him away in front of the official, what face will the official stay with? The prince is driving. ‘

Hu Wei also frowned. His Royal Highness ordered that Lord Sima’s order must be followed. If he violates it, I am afraid he will be punished. But Zhang Jinxiong has a point. The Yongwang Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion are incompatible. It is all clear that if Zhang Jinxiong let himself take away people like this, he would only save the prince’s face. In this way, King Yong would be dissatisfied with his behavior. After much deliberation, there is still no way. He glanced at Zhang Jinxiong. Although Zhang Jinxiong has a good temper, he is not a stupid person. He also saw Hu Wei’s embarrassment and thought for a while: “Finally, let me take it back with me, my junior. He will never let him leave Chang’an. Today, I personally went to Guanzhonglian to adjust the matter, and then asked him to apologize to Lord Jiang, but today I definitely cannot let you take people away. ‘

Think about it, Hu Wei, this is the only way. He said: ‘Since Master Zhang guarantees, this officer will let him go first. When I go back and report to Master Ming Sima, I will make plans. ‘After saying goodbye, Zhang Jinxiong also personally sent him off. After all, the King Yong and the prince have not yet torn their faces, and face matters must be taken care of, and Zhang Jinxiong himself is not a rude person.

Send off Hu Wei, Zhang Jinxiong glared at Xia Jinyi, saying: ‘This is great, you said vaguely last time, it turns out that you have offended the Yongwang Mansion so much, how can this end? ‘
