When Gu Cheng came to the door again, Hong Dingshan was a little confused.Although I resolved the misunderstanding with him last time, in essence, the relationship between the two parties was just a little stronger than that of a stranger, but Gu Cheng came to talk to him again every other day, is this guy so familiar?
However, Gu Cheng came here, and he was not easy to drive people, Hong Dingshan had to smile politely: "Lord Gu is a rare guest, I don't have too many roots and acquaintances in the capital, and Lord Gu is the first guest in this house in the capital."
Last time you invited me to dinner, this time I should invite you again, ma'am, to prepare the banquet. ”A woman with a gentle temperament and beautiful appearance chuckled and nodded, and went down to prepare the banquet.This is Hong Dingshan's wife, although her appearance is not comparable to the glamorous white crape myrtle, and even the white crape myrtle after she is older, but that kind of temperament is everyone's beautiful at a glance.Like Hong Dingshan, a strong man with ambition, strength and means, they don't need the other half to be strong.Gu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't bother Madame, I came here to give General Hong a gift to you." ”Hong Dingshan did not move and said, "Oh?
What gift?
”Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Do you know about the battle for the succession in the capital, General Hong?"
”Hong Dingshan said lightly: "I have heard a little." ”In fact, he had heard a little about it, but before he came to the capital, he had already asked people to come to the capital to inquire about the news, and collected all the big and small things about the battle for succession in the capital and brought them back to him.Although the Praetorian Guard is not directly stationed in the capital like Long Xiangwei, it is indispensable to deal with some people in the capital, and it is necessary to figure out this.Gu Cheng knocked on the table and said, "Since General Hong knows this, it will be easy to do, and I don't have to bother to speak."
At present, the second prince and the fourth prince are competing for the position of reading the sacrificial text very fiercely, General Hong should know this, even now the two sides have not decided a winner.So now the four princes don't want to fight, even if they win, they will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, it's not worth it.But if the four princes regress like this, they are still a little unwilling, so as long as the second prince is willing to come up with certain conditions, the four princes will naturally give in.I have some friendship with the Four Princes, although I am not a member of the Four Princes, but my position as the commander of the Eastern Regions is obtained by relying on the relationship of the Four Princes.And General Hong, although you are not the second prince's person, but you also said that you owe the second prince a favor, in that case, why not return this matter to the second prince as a favor?
General Hong, when you first came to the capital, it has nothing to do with the forces of both sides, so it is most appropriate for you to be the middleman in this matter. ”Hong Dingshan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "The conditions proposed by the fourth prince are excessive?
”Gu Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course it's not too much, except for one that the second prince must help the fourth prince get the position to be filled, everything else is negotiable."
As I said, this matter is a gift from me to General Hong, if the conditions are too excessive, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, General Hong?
”Hong Dingshan nodded secretly, with his understanding of the battle for succession, the second prince is indeed a little struggling, at this time, if the fourth prince takes the initiative to give in, even if the conditions are harsh, the second prince will agree.So as long as you tell the second prince about this matter, it will definitely be like sending charcoal in the snow, not to mention repaying the favor of the second prince, and even the second prince will feel that he owes himself a favor.However, Hong Dingshan did not agree immediately, but asked, "Master Gu, why did you choose me for this matter?"
You have to know that no matter who says this kind of thing, they can earn a favor in front of the second prince. ”Gu Cheng pointed at Hong Dingshan and said, "Because General Hong, your background is innocent, and you, the newly promoted general of the Praetorian Guard, are just enough to get the second prince."
Of course, the most important thing is that among the people I know, only you, General Hong, just meet this condition.You and I only met the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect that there would be cooperation today, and the relationship between people is really wonderful. ”Hong Dingshan laughed and said: "I also feel this way, to be precise, my fate with Master Gu was formed two years ago." ”Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan laughed at the same time, but no one knew how much sincerity was in this laughter.After finalizing Gu Cheng's plan on Hong Dingshan's side, it was already half successful.The rest of the things are naturally done by Hong Dingshan, I believe that with his ability, he will definitely be able to make the second prince clear and happy, and he thinks that he has taken advantage.After returning to the Jingye Division of the Eastern Regions, Gu Cheng also began to investigate the three princes.It is actually not realistic to use the Maitreya Sect to attack the three princes this time, after all, the other party is the prince, and he is also the third ranked prince, even if the second prince and the fourth prince fall into the well, the other party will not be damaged too much.Being in the midst of royalty, the timing of your birth is important.Except for the eldest who became the crown prince, the others had the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor for a long time, and they also had time to manage their own forces.Therefore, among the princes of Daqian, the top five princes have been in front of Emperor Daqian for the longest time, and they are also the most impressive.There is also the last prince born because he is the youngest, and he is also the most favored one, as for the others, the position in the middle is very awkward, like Li Xiaozhun, except for seeing the emperor a few times when he was a child, after he was ten years old, he can only see Emperor Daqian less than ten times a year, and there are not even some ministers who have seen much.Therefore, Gu Cheng didn't have an illusion and went directly to abolish the third prince, but it was still okay to hit his forces.Flies don't bite seamless eggs, the third prince likes to use Jianghu people, and there are too many loopholes around him.The strength of Baiyunguan is too strong for Gu Cheng to move, but the others have a place to excavate.Gu Cheng found Yang Naigong and asked: "The ghost in the ditch who reported the case last time, that guy is the head snake in the capital, and he is very well-informed?"
”Yang Naigong nodded and said: "These guys are all in the lower ninth rate, and the news is indeed very well-informed, and I usually use them as informants."
But if you want to use him, it's okay to ask him to help find out some news, but don't let them do things.These guys can't hold up the wall with mud, and it's going to be bad. ”"I'm just going to ask him for news, you go and bring him here."
Although Yang Naigong was also curious about what news Gu Cheng wanted to find out about the ghost in the ditch, he was also interested, there were some things that Gu Cheng would naturally tell him if he wanted to say something, if Gu Cheng didn't want to say it, as a subordinate, he couldn't take the initiative to ask.After an hour, the ghost in the ditch appeared in front of Gu Cheng.Compared with last time, his improvement is much better, at least not the last time as if he was going to die in the next moment."
The villain sees the adult, I don't know what the adult has to tell the villain?
As long as it is ordered by the adult, the villain will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will do it clearly for the adult. ”There was a flattering smile on the grimace in the ditch, and he looked like he couldn't wait to dig out his heart and lungs for Gu Cheng.But in fact, he is panicking now.Gu Cheng's murderous reputation had already shaken the Eastern Regions, and the number of ninth-rate Left Dao cultivators who died in his hands was simply more than the people arrested by Jing Yesi the year before.Last time, he only reported it to Yang Naigong, but who would have thought that Yang Naigong would report it to Gu Cheng again.Dealing with Gu Cheng once already made him not want to have a second time, and at this time, he was actually called by Gu Cheng on his own initiative, but he endured it so that he didn't cry out in fright.Seeing the appearance of the ghost in the ditch trembling while complimenting, Gu Cheng shook his head lightly and said, "Don't be so nervous, I didn't come to you because you did anything, but because Jing Yesi needs your cooperation, I don't know if you can be convenient?"
”The ghost in the ditch hurriedly nodded and said, "Convenient!"
As long as it is something that the adult commands, it is convenient for the villain at any time!
”"I heard that you people are very well-informed in the capital?
Is there anything you can't find out?
”The ghost in the ditch said cautiously: "It can also be said, but it is limited to the news of the people in the rivers and lakes, and those dignitaries and nobles naturally have no chance to contact us."
As long as we enter the capital, then all around are our people, even if the other party spits on the street, we can detect it. ”Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really so godly?"
”The ghost in the ditch rubbed his hands and said: "In fact, it is just some inconspicuous means, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes, but the most are still ordinary people."
As long as we throw a few copper plates, those people will naturally tell us what they have seen and heard.But my lord, we just sell some intelligence information to make some hard-earned money, and we have never done anything illegal and undisciplined. ”Gu Cheng shook his head slightly, this guy is also interesting, what he is doing now is itself illegal."
Don't worry, don't be so cautious, I didn't say that I would pursue you.During this time, you only need to help me find out one thing, that is, among those Jianghu people recruited by the Three Princes, which one of them can have anything to do with Maitreya.Remember, even if it is a little bit of a relationship, such as whose uncle's friend's brother's brother's neighbor's seventh uncle and grandfather joined the Maitreya Sect, such a relationship is okay. ”Hearing Gu Cheng say this, the cold sweat of the ghost in the ditch was about to come down.Who is Gu Cheng going to investigate?
That's His Royal Highness King Yan, the third prince of the current day!
He suddenly felt that he might as well be caught in the Jingye Division for committing a crime this time.ps: Recommend this martial arts seedling "This crossing is really unreliable"
