¡ ¡ ¡ ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work out, I can only take the risk and try it¡¡± 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. He knows very well that he is an insignificant little 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 received 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 secrets, he will still be useful to the mastermind behind the scenes. When the situation in Nanjing is settled, the mastermind behind the scenes will only punish and warn him even if he is dissatisfied with his laziness and uselessness, so he and his sister still have a chance of survival. On the contrary, 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 Lord, 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, his idea was not just the two options of "taking the risk to continue poisoning" or "taking the risk to inform the outside world." He also considered another possibility, that is - should he take the risk to tell Zhang Decheng and Zhou Shangjing the truth? 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. And 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 this 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 and 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 on the front foot, and the person behind the scenes discovered his betrayal, it would undoubtedly make Qin Lang fall into even more despair. situation. Qin Lang is 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, you must not make any decisions at will - especially decisions that require 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 other hand, 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 does not think that he has the ability to cover everything and have both sides, so he naturally does not dare to change the status quo and can only allow the mastermind behind the scenes to continue to control him. "So I can only sit back and watch and hesitate to move forward! After all, I am a?A small person, without any capital to take risks, but cannot afford any price I just hope that the mastermind behind the scenes will not be punished too severely in the future! If you really want to punish, then punish me alone, and don¡¯t involve Niu Niu" While thinking like this, Qin Lang has returned to his room, preparing to continue to learn the basics of medical skills according to Zhang Decheng's instructions. "It's a pity, Probably because he was too confused, Qin Lang couldn't read a single word of the boring medical books in the room. But Qin Lang still forced himself to study the medical books. In order to calm himself down as much as possible, Qin Lang also "snapped" with all his strength. "Slapped himself twice. 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! And only by winning Zhang Decheng's favor and favor can he be recognized in the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes. With greater use, even if he is forced to confess all the truth to Zhang Decheng in the future, he will have a greater chance of winning Zhang Decheng's protection. * Qin Lang thinks that he is a little person, and little people must have limited abilities. They can only stay put and put self-preservation first, not daring to hope that they will have the chance to change the status quo. But there are many people, even though they know that they are not a big shot, they are still courageous and dare to take the initiative to change the situation. , and even ambitiously want to dominate the situation. This is the case with Jiang Zheng. As Zhao Junchen's staff, disciple of the great scholar Yang Xun, and "Zhao Party" representative Huo Zhengyuan's assistant, Jiang Zheng is 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 person, except for his own background. Apart from being very capable, neither power nor connections are worth mentioning. 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 of South Zhili. The direction of the situation. Jiang Zheng did not think that he was blindly confident or arrogant. After repeated thinking and verification, he had made a series of comprehensive plans. In the evening of that day, Zhou Shangjing was worried about life and death. While Zhong and Zhang Decheng were racking their brains over Zhou Shangjing's stomach ailment, while Qin Lang was determined not to move, Jiang Zheng and Huo Zhengyuan boarded the Guanjiang Tower again to have dinner together. A few 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 also met Lu De, who also came here to observe the situation. And this Guanjiang Tower. The building 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 he became a frequent visitor to Guanjiang Building during his stay in Nanjing. . As Zhao Junchen¡¯s spokesperson in southern Zhili, Huo Zhengyuan has been watching the situation change with a cold eye recently. Occasionally, he will secretly assist Zhou Shangjing to do something, 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 in without any hesitation! Under such circumstances, we must not just watch with cold eyes like before. , or maybe they just blindly assist Zhou Shangjing in doing 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 junior just thinks that taking advantage of Zhou Shoufu and the seventh prince He Beng¡¯s fight, it doesn¡¯t matter. At this time, we have every chance to make a profit! This 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 also You can also take the opportunity to reap greater benefits, and by the way, completely solve the trouble that has been troubling Zhao Gechen" While Huo Zhengyuan seemed to be focusing on tasting the delicious food, Jiang Zhengze had no intention of dining and only kept persuading Huo Zhengyuan. Huo Zhengyuan stopped holding the chopsticks for a moment, raised his head and looked at Jiang Zheng carefully for a moment, then slowly said: "I have thought about your plan carefully. Although it is very likely to succeed, its premise is I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to take the initiative to stab Zhou Shoufu in the back, right? " * While Jiang Zheng was trying his best to persuade Huo Zhengyuan, no one noticed that there were several people with cold eyes at the corner of the street downstairs from Guanjiang. Watch them. One of them is Guo Shouzhong, the personal bodyguard of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian and the leader of the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers! "Have you seen 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 Huo Zhengyuan, the Southeast Patrol Ambassador and great scholar! Sitting at the same table with him, we are discussing The young Confucian scholar in question is a young man named Jiang Zheng, who is said to have an extraordinary background and a large background As for the few people around him, they are all Huo Zhengyuan's followers. Huo Zhengyuan stayed in Nanjing during this time. He has not revealed his official identity, so the security around him is not particularly tight. When he leaves Guanjiang Tower, you can easily find an opportunity to strike, but you must strike accurately. Remember, our mission is! It is to intimidate Huo Zhengyuan, so your target is Jiang Zheng and Huo Zhengyuan's personal followers! You must make these people suffer heavy casualties, and you must let Huo Zhengyuan witness their heavy casualties, and Huo Zhengyuan can only suffer minor injuries at most! You must not kill him! When you do it, make the scene as brutal as possible. Huo Zhengyuan must be completely frightened after seeing it! For us, a Huo Zhengyuan who is scared to death is better than a dead one. It will be more useful to the unexpected Huo Zhengyuan!" 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, right?" After hearing this, Guo Shouzhong couldn't help but frown, a trace of fear flashed across his expression, and he said coldly. He responded: "Yes, as long as you are not caught, and as long as you can save Huo Zhengyuan's life, it doesn't matter how loud the noise is! Jiang Xiao, this time I allow you to do whatever you want!" Within the "Chaofeng" organization Among the nearly two hundred dead soldiers, Jiang Xiao had the most special identity and origin. 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. However, his methods are so vicious and his actions are so extreme that sometimes even Zhu Hejian can't help but look at him with surprise. Every time he performs a mission, he always makes trouble. A huge movement will definitely implicate innocent people. Logically speaking, 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 I¡¯ve been idle recently, 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. ¡¡
