    <!¡ª¡ª> ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ People¡¯s imagination is always limited to their own knowledge reserves and experiences, and they are completely unable to predict things that they have not experienced.  Therefore, everyone has limitations in thinking, even Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing and others are no exception.  And what kind of person is Zhou Shangjing?  He is an example of a civil servant who abides by his duties as a minister. Although he often achieves his own intentions by any means and often takes the lead in resisting the expansion of imperial power, he has never done anything like raising soldiers to die; At the same time, he is  A powerful official of the imperial court and a great scholar of the time, he was born in a scholarly family. He entered the officialdom at a young age and has been rising through the ranks for more than fifty years. He is definitely "a great scholar when talking and laughing, but not a white man when interacting with others". Naturally, he rarely has the opportunity to meet him.  Desperados like Jiang Xiao and Hu Xiao cannot understand the way of thinking of these desperadoes; Zhou Shangjing always subconsciously believes that everyone in the world knows how to calculate gains and losses, analyze pros and cons, and will never do anything unless they are forced to do so.  You won't jump over the wall in a hurry. If the interests are huge enough, it is natural to turn deadly enemies into allies.  Zhou Shangjing certainly knows that people like Jiang Xiao and Hu Xiao exist in this world, but when he analyzes the situation, he still subconsciously excludes people like Jiang Xiao and Hu Xiao from variables.  In comparison, Huo Zhengyuan's situation is better because Hu Xiao is giving him advice, while the situation of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is better, because Zhu Hejian is not only very familiar with Jiang Xiao's character and temperament, but also personally established "  "Chaofeng" this dead warrior organization.  * On this day, while Zhou Shangjing and Song Chengren were discussing secretly, in a study room in Zhanyuan, Lu De hurriedly asked to see the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, and reported to Zhu Hejian that Jiang Xiao had secretly returned to Nanjing with the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers.  News from the city.  At this time, unlike Huo Zhengyuan and Zhou Shangjing, Zhu Hejian still didn¡¯t know that Jiang Xiao had shown signs of losing control. The main purpose of secretly sneaking back into Nanjing was to hunt down Hu Xiao and avenge himself.  A few days ago, a group of "Chaofeng" dead soldiers returned to Nanjing City ahead of schedule, but they fought with the pirates under Hu Xiao's command and killed and injured more than ten Song family servants. They are now being punished by the Nanjing government.  The entire "Chaofeng" organization is in danger of being exposed at any time due to the city-wide wanted list. This is what Zhu Hejian is currently most worried about.  Zhu Hejian thought that Jiang Xiao secretly sneaked back to Nanjing at this time just to follow his orders and properly solve this trouble for himself.  Therefore, after hearing Lu De's report, Zhu Hejian couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but he quickly discovered something was wrong. He stared at Lu De and frowned and asked: "Jiang Xiao can sneak back into Nanjing so quickly.  It's a good thing, but why did he pass the message to me through Mr. Lu instead of contacting me directly?" As soon as Zhu Hejian finished speaking, the eunuch Jia Lun standing behind him asked directly without any cover.  He said: "Yes, when exactly did Mr. Lu become the contact person between His Highness and 'Chaofeng'? As far as I know, His Highness has never made such an arrangement." Lu De also seemed to be deeply surprised.  , shook his head and said: "When Jiang Xiao sent people to contact the students, the students were also extremely surprised! Your Highness, you also know that Jiang Xiao had previously forced the students to kill two of your close guards, which made the students have nightmares to this day, so the students  It can be said that he hates him deeply and does not want to have any contact with him anymore, but Jiang Xiao just keeps an eye on students According to Jiang Xiao, when His Highness contacted the "Chaofeng" organization in the past, it was mainly through Guo Shouzhong and Lu Tong  These two confidants have been silenced now. There are only a few confidants left around His Highness who know about the existence of the 'Chao Feng' organization, but these confidants are all under close surveillance, so  Jiang Xiao had no choice but to contact His Highness through his students. "Zhu Hejian still frowned, obviously unwilling to let Lu De become the contact between him and the "Chaofeng" organization.  Lu De has only been seeking refuge with Zhu Hejian for a short period of time. Although he has handed over his wealth and life to Zhu Hejian, Zhu Hejian still does not completely trust him. Naturally, he is unwilling to give Lu De the opportunity to have free access to his core secrets.  But after Zhu Hejian thought about it, he had no choice but to admit that letting Lu De become his contact with the "Chaofeng" organization was the best choice under the current situation.  After all, Lu De has many friends, a high reputation, and frequent social activities in Nanjing. Jiang Xiao¡¯s contact with him through Lu De is also the least likely to be discovered by various forces.  So, Zhu Hejian nodded slightly, reluctantly acknowledging the situation, but still shook his head and said: "In this case, I can only wrong Mr. Lu to temporarily become my contact with the 'Chaofeng' organization.Yes, I also know that Mr. Lu doesn¡¯t like Jiang Xiao. After the chaos in Nanjing comes to an end, I will definitely choose another person to be the contact person and will never embarrass Mr. Lu.  " Lu De shook his head again and said: "For His Highness, although the student hates Jiang Xiao, he is willing to compromise for the time being!  But the student's opinion remains unchanged. Your Highness, you will soon be the Crown Prince. Therefore, whether it is a desperado like Jiang Xiao or a dead soldier organization like 'Chao Feng', it is best to completely separate the relationship as soon as possible!  " Hearing Lu De's words, Zhu Hejian's doubts eased slightly. He smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I know it well.  " * Lu De knew very well that if he wanted to become Zhu Hejian's confidant in the shortest possible time, the best way would be to take the opportunity to become the contact between Zhu Hejian and the "Chaofeng" organization; and if he wanted to successfully become a "Chaofeng" organization  As the contact person of the "Chaofeng" organization, the best way is to clearly show his disgust and rejection of the "Chaofeng" organization. The more Lu De hates and rejects the "Chaofeng" organization, the more Zhu Hejian will trust Lu De and let Lu De  Become your own contact with the "Chaofeng" organization, because Lu De will never gain prestige or gain favor among the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers. He will only become a pure messenger and interact with Jiang Xiao.  Checks and balances are what Zhu Hejian wants to see most. After the chaos in Nanjing settles, Lu De has proven his reliability and loyalty as an intermediary contact. Zhu Hejian will definitely choose another loyal and reliable contact.  It is not an easy task, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to Lu De's role as a contact person Then, with just a few tricks, Lu De can successfully become a fixed link between Zhu Hejian and the "Chaofeng" organization  Lu De has repeatedly suggested that Zhu Hejian should abandon the "Chaofeng" organization as soon as possible, but Lu De also knows very well that a person with Zhu Hejian's temperament will never do it.  Zhu Hejian, who easily gave up the sharp edge of the "Chaofeng" organization, was not aware of Lu De's calculations. After he comforted Lu De, he asked again: "After Jiang Xiao sent someone to contact you, he did not tell you anything.  He has successfully sneaked back outside Nanjing, but is there more for you to convey?  " Lu De nodded and said: "Jiang Xiao asked the students to tell His Highness that he hopes that Your Highness can exert influence to extend the martial law period of the Nanjing government for two days, and also find ways to further restrict the actions of the Nanjing government and the Nanjing defenders.  The authority seems to want to keep the current chaos in Nanjing city so that he can take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters.  " While speaking, Lu De took out another secret letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Hejian, and then said: "In addition, Jiang Xiao also asked the students to deliver this secret letter to His Highness, which is obviously more important.  Confidential, but unwilling to let students know the inside story.  " After Zhu Hejian got the secret letter, he first quickly checked the envelope and found no signs of opening. Then he opened the envelope and read the contents of the secret letter, only to find that the contents of the secret letter were divided into three paragraphs.  There are only a few words in these three paragraphs: "Nine of the Thirteen", "The Fifteenth of the Hidden Dragon", and "To eliminate all future troubles". Outsiders cannot understand the meaning. They are Zhu Hejian and Jiang Xiao.  The code words agreed upon during the secret contact. Zhu Hejian mastered the rules of deciphering these code words and immediately understood the true content of what Jiang Xiao wanted to convey. The so-called "Nine of Thirteen" refers to the evening hours of the day after tomorrow;  "Fifteen miles to the east" refers to the location fifteen miles to the west of Zhanyuan; The so-called "kill all to avoid future troubles" has a very simple and straightforward meaning, which means killing everyone. Then think of Nanjing City  Zhu Hejian quickly understood Jiang Xiao's follow-up plan. At this moment, a group of "Chaofeng" dead soldiers were being hunted by the Nanjing government, and Jiang Xiao wanted to protect these "Chaofeng".  The dead soldiers should be allowed to escape from Nanjing as soon as possible. However, there are too many variables in this task. If there is bad luck or improper operation, it may be counterproductive. Instead, these "mocking wind" dead soldiers will be completely exposed and suffer.  In order to prevent this worst-case scenario from happening, Jiang Xiao hoped that the seventh prince Zhu Hejian could set up an ambush fifteen miles west of Zhanyuan at midnight the day after tomorrow.  The group of "Chaofeng" dead soldiers who were wanted by the Nanjing officials could not escape smoothly and leave Nanjing City. Instead, their whereabouts were completely exposed. Then Jiang Xiao would instruct them to flee immediately to a location fifteen miles west of Zhanyuan, so that these  All the dead soldiers of "Chaofeng" died in Zhu Hejian's ambush. At that time, they will naturally die without evidence.No one can trace the existence of the "Chaofeng" organization through the bodies of these "Chaofeng" dead soldiers, and it is even less possible to follow the clues and find evidence that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian secretly raised the dead soldiers.  In short, it is to abandon the pawn to save the chariot, cut off the tail to survive, and nip the danger in the bud.  After thinking about Jiang Xiao's follow-up plan, Zhu Hejian couldn't help but nodded slightly, fully agreeing with Jiang Xiao's plan, and believed that Jiang Xiao was indeed cautious and considered defeat before taking actual action.  The response to the worst-case scenario is indeed foolproof.  However, Zhu Hejian is an extremely perceptive person. Just as he nodded in agreement, he suddenly became alert and realized something was wrong!  In Zhu Hejian¡¯s impression, Jiang Xiao has always been reliable in doing things and has always been hands-on when performing tasks. Unless he encounters a last resort situation, he will never ask Zhu Hejian for additional support!  And this time, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to ask Zhu Hejian for help and wiped his ass for the end. This approach was obviously not in line with Jiang Xiao's consistent style.  What¡¯s more, once the worst-case scenario happens and it is necessary to abandon soldiers to protect the car to avoid future troubles, then why can¡¯t Jiang Xiao do it himself to get rid of those "Chaofeng" dead soldiers who have exposed their whereabouts, but need Zhu Hejian to do it for him?  If Jiang Xiao does it himself, whether poisoning or using a knife, it is easier, faster, and has fewer variables. It is also less likely to arouse suspicion from both the government and the opposition. It is obviously more beneficial. Why does Jiang Xiao still want Zhu Hejian to do it himself?  Take action?  When Zhu Hejian stepped in to do the job, what was Jiang Xiao doing?  Could it be that he was just hiding nearby and watching?  Or taking advantage of the opportunity that attracted the attention of all the forces in Nanjing, Jiang Xiao wanted to take the opportunity to do other things?  Thinking of this, Zhu Hejian frowned again, feeling that Jiang Xiao's arrangement was quite suspicious.  After thinking for a long time, Zhu Hejian raised his head and asked Lu De again: "When Jiang Xiao sent people to contact you, did he reveal more information to you? For example, when he sneaked back to Nanjing, how many "mockers" did he bring with him?  Where is Mr. Feng hiding now? " Lu De shook his head and said, "The students don't like Jiang Xiao, and Jiang Xiao probably doesn't like the students either, so he didn't reveal anything more to the students.  According to the news, the students do not know how many "Chaofeng" dead soldiers are accompanying him, nor his current hiding place, nor his contact information Jiang Xiao only informed the students that he would take the initiative to contact him when necessary.  Student contact." Zhu Hejian frowned more and more, feeling more and more suspicious.  Jiang Xiao did not leave any contact information, which means that until the two parties completely restore contact, all the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers will completely obey Jiang Xiao alone, and Zhu Hejian will not have any chance to interfere.  Thinking of this, Zhu Hejian's seemingly delicate face could not help but flash a hint of sinisterness.  Although Zhu Hejian does not think that Jiang Xiao will betray him, he has always been suspicious and ruthless and cautious, and the various suspicious things Jiang Xiao has shown so far are enough for Zhu Hejian to arrange backup plans and take precautions before they happen.  So, Zhu Hejian calmed Lu De again with a normal expression, and then found a reason to let Lu De leave the study temporarily.  After Lu De left the study, Zhu Hejian's expression suddenly changed. He was unprecedentedly dark and sinister, and his tone was particularly cold. He turned to Jia Lun and ordered: "Send a message to Nanjing's eunuch Xi Cheng and ask him to immediately summon all factories in Nanjing.  Guard, prepare your swords, guns, crossbows, and be ready for action at any time I have a bad feeling in my heart. If the worst happens, I may have to abandon my car to protect my commander!  !¡ª¡ª>
