720 cooperation, Lu Yimo's origin

Wang Jinling had already made his position clear when he asked this question. He made a choice between the Cui family and the Ninth Uncle. When the Ninth Uncle's power was not strong enough, he resolutely chose to stand on the side of the Ninth Uncle and cooperate with him. 【!

It may not be the best choice, but it is definitely the smartest choice. The Cui and Wang families together are definitely powerful enough to control a country, but in that case, the Wang family will always be inferior to the Cui family.

The Wang family can be inferior to anyone except the Cui family. The Wang family has been suppressed by the Cui family for too long. The Wang family wants the reputation of being the number one family too much. However, if they cooperate with the Cui family, it is hard to say whether the Wang family can retain the name of a family, let alone become the number one family.

For the Cui family, the Wang family is both a helper and an opponent. The Cui family will not allow the Wang family to become too powerful. When the Wang family is no longer of value, the Cui family will definitely suppress the Wang family.

Of course, Wang Jinling can also choose to cooperate with others. There are too many people who want to win over the Wang family, so the Ninth Prince said that Wang Jinling cooperating with him may not be the best choice, but it is definitely the smartest choice.

A faint smile flashed across the Ninth Prince's eyes, and he looked at Wang Jinling with more favor. It was a blessing for the Wang family to have a head like Wang Jinling.

It doesn't mean that Wang Jinling chose to cooperate with him, but that Wang Jinling's decisiveness is not possessed by most people. This is a choice that concerns the life and death of the family. Most people would not dare to make a decision in their entire lives, and then... they would waver and watch their family being destroyed in the turmoil.

No one can stay out of the power struggle. The result of not participating is being abandoned by all rights holders and becoming a victim. Instead of doing this, it is better to choose one side early, form an alliance, and fully support the other side to protect yourself.

Since they have already cooperated, there is no need to hide some things. The Ninth Prince did not hesitate to speak out his plan: "Lan Yilin is not important. Whether she returns to the Cui family or not will not change anything. If it is not Lan Yilin, it will be someone else. The Cui family has no shortage of pawns. Why should we become enemies with the Cui family so early for Lan Yilin?

The Cui family has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years. The power they have revealed now is just the tip of the iceberg. You and I don’t know how powerful the Cui family is. Instead of confronting the Cui family now, it is better to wait for the Cui family to show their power one by one before taking action. It is foolish to charge into them without knowing how powerful the opponent is. "

This is the Ninth Prince. When he recognizes you, he will trust you and let you know that he trusts you. Even for this trust, you are willing to go through life and death for him, just like Su Wenqing and Bu Jingyun.

The Ninth Prince has the mind and courage of an emperor, as well as the skills and abilities of an emperor.

Just because of the Ninth Prince's trust, Wang Jinling felt that choosing Dong Lingjiu, who was not favored by others, might be a wise choice.

Since they have chosen to cooperate, Wang Jinling will not hide his thoughts: "You are right. It is meaningless to fight against the Cui family for Lan Yilin. It is better to use Lan Yilin to let the Cui family do more for Xuanxiao Palace's affairs."

"No, the Cui family will withdraw from the matter of Xuanxiao Palace." The Ninth Uncle said firmly. Wang Jinling's eyes flashed with confusion, and then he nodded with relief: "That's right, the people have been found, why should we use our unknown power."

"Yes, the Cui family's greatest reliance is that no one knows how powerful they are, how deep their foundation is, and how much power they have over the Lan family. Precisely because no one knows, everyone is wary of them, and the Cui family also needs to maintain this sense of mystery." The Ninth Prince smiled faintly. It is easy to talk to smart people. You don't need to explain too clearly, the other party can also figure it out.

With the premise of cooperation, the two of them talked more naturally. Wang Jinling did not hide anything and directly asked what he was thinking: "So what do you plan to exchange Lan Yilin for?"

Wang Jinling didn't think that the Ninth Prince would be so kind as to directly give Lan Yilin to the Cui family. How could he let the Cui family go without paying a penny?

"Aren't you curious about who offered such a high price for Feng Qingchen's life?" The Ninth Prince admitted that he would never waste Lan Yilin's value.

It is one thing to feel sorry for her, but it is another to know whether she is useful or not. There is no such thing as useless person; it all depends on how you use her.

Wang Jinling thought for a moment, and after counting all the possible people in his mind, he said: "Xiling, Nanling, Beiling can't afford this amount of money, let alone Dongling. I'm afraid no one can afford this amount of money except you. Even if they can afford the land, those people will not spend money to hire assassins. The people under their command are no worse than professional assassins. They can afford this amount of money, and they specifically only want to kill Feng Qingchen. I think it should be the wife of the Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace." The Ninth Uncle must have guessed this point, but the only thing that made him confused was: "Where did the money come from? Xuanxiao Palace can't have so much silver."

"No, Xuanxiao Palace may have so much silver, but there is no way the Palace Master's wife could come up with so much silver and avoid Xuan Shaoqi. This shows that this money did not come from Xuanxiao Palace, but from somewhere else." The Ninth Prince made a bold guess and expressed his suspicion.

Wang Jinling thought for a moment, then continued with his eyes wide open: "So, the origin of this money is most likely related to the wife of the Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace and the origin of Feng Qingchen's mother. The Cui family should know something about it, otherwise they would not participate in the battle of Xuanxiao Palace even if they wanted to find Lan Yilin. They gave up because the money had already been paid, and the Cui family did not want to do useless work."

Wang Jinling was definitely an insightful person, and he understood everything immediately. Plus, the Ninth Prince did not hide anything, so the two of them deduced the Cui family's thoughts and the person who hired someone to kill Feng Qingchen in just a few words.

"That's roughly the case, but it's just our guess." The Ninth Prince did not say too much. His speculation had no basis, and it was hard to say whether it was true or not. After all, he didn't know enough about the Cui family and Xuanxiao Palace.

"Whether this is true or not, we'll know when the Cui family arrives." Wang Jinling has already confirmed the Ninth Prince's speculation, because... he and the Ninth Prince have the same idea.

If both of them think this is the case, then it is basically the fact. You know, they are not the kind of people who make random assertions.

"Yes, looking at the attitude of the Cui family, we can know whether our guess is right or not. Maybe we can even know the whereabouts of Feng Qingchen's mother." It is definitely a good thing to be able to figure this out before going to Xuanxiao Palace.

Wang Jinling nodded in agreement. The more prepared they were, the more likely they would be able to kill the wife of the Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace by surprise.

Everything was settled. The Ninth Prince was not interested in staying outside with Wang Jinling any longer, so he turned around and walked back: "Let's go back together. We've been out for too long, Qingchen will be worried."

He clearly wanted to say that Qingchen would be suspicious, but the Ninth Prince insisted on saying something that would please everyone. Wang Jinling understood, but he just smiled and said nothing...

Dong Lingjiu is a very charming man, but also a very dangerous man!

It was a pleasure to cooperate with him, but it was a painful thing to be his competitor. Wang Jinling felt depressed when he thought about the pain and happiness he would have to endure for a long time...

Yes, even if he cooperates with the Ninth Prince, it does not mean that he will give up Feng Qingchen. Cooperation is a gentleman's agreement, and pursuing Feng Qingchen is also a gentleman's dispute. These two things are not contradictory.
