Chapter 212 Lip Gun
"My Lord?"
This is how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calls himself.
"Are you the East Palace?"
How could this be possible? Although he knew that the prince had made occasional incognito visits over the years, he had never imagined he would be here.
"Your name will never change, and your surname will never change."
"How do you know?"
Yang Dinggan began to sweat. "It is said that Yuchi Shuo has a pure and harmless baby face, but his actions are extremely powerful and powerful. Are you him?"
Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo sneered, "Who else could make our Lord Wen so obedient?"
Yang Dinggan glanced at Wen Baxian and asked, "Is he really the Prince of the East Palace?"
"It's absolutely genuine!" Wen Baxian knelt before Yuchi Shuo as if facing a formidable enemy. "Yang Dinggan, the Crown Prince has arrived. His words are his bond. You absolutely must not pervert the course of events. I deserve death, but the Crown Prince wants me to atone for my sins with merit. I can be exempted from some responsibility in the future. Brother Yang, you've been robbing and causing trouble here for years. Sooner or later, you'll fall. Now's your chance. Turn your evil ways!"
What Yuchi Shuo didn't expect was that this guy actually stood on his side.
The two of them are old acquaintances and are quite familiar with each other.
Hearing Wen Baxian's words, Yang Dinggan's eyes were cold. "I have killed countless people in the first half of my life and deserved death. Whatever I do in the second half of my life will be useless. When I rob Baixin in Jiangzhou tomorrow, I will divide the silver among my brothers and find a place to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. It can be considered a good beginning and a good end."
At this moment, Yuchi Shuo still remained silent.
But after Wen Baxian opened his mouth, Yuchi Shuo gave him a look, and Wen Baxian understood what he meant.
"You did have a good beginning and a good end, but how many people have you harmed? Now that natural disasters are approaching, your human disasters are also coming. They are human beings, the same kind as you, Yang Dinggan. You can't do such a cruel and insane thing that will bring disaster to heaven and earth. I can't watch you make the same mistakes again and again."
"Get out of here!" Yang Dinggan didn't listen to him and kicked Wen Baxian.
Wen Baxian rolled away.
Yuchi Shuo calmly took the weapon from his shoulder and looked at the person opposite with his bright star-like eyes.
"I'm talking about cooperation and transaction with you. It's mutually beneficial for both of us. Don't you understand, Boss?" Yuchi Shuo's calm attitude made him a little nervous.
In fact, the calmer Yuchi Shuo was, the more frightened he became.
The young man opposite seems to be calm, but in fact he is unruly. He seems to be easy to talk to, but his eyes are sharp and arrogant, which gives people an innate fear.
He is so unfathomable.
His eyes were lifeless, revealing nothing of his inner feelings.
"Cooperate with you?" Yang Dinggan laughed heartily. "Wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? Erlong Mountain and Cuiwei Mountain are not far away. Do you want me to repeat the same mistakes? Yuchi Shuo, Yuchi Shuo, you'd better not use your idea of 'a higher rank can crush a lower rank' on me. What's the point?"
Yuchi Shuo's cold and stern eyes were fixed on Yang Dinggan.
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Just ask."
Faced with that aggressive gaze, Yang Dinggan quickly collapsed. Seeing him defeated, Yuchi Shuo asked, "How have you been these years?"
"Our village is doing very well, making a fortune every day. How do you think I'm doing?"
Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo laughed heartily. "Don't deceive yourself. The government today is not what it was back then, the court today is not what it was back then, and the people today are no longer the same. How could they possibly have so much wealth to give you?"
"you……"
Yang Dinggan looked at the ground without saying a word.
"I continue to ask, what plans do you have for the future? Or a blueprint?"
The business they were in was a bloody one, with no end in sight. What about the future? He never dared to plan for the future. Yang Dinggan had asked himself this question before, but he was afraid of the answer.
Those sharp eyes were as sharp as daggers.
"It's just eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls." This may indeed be his lofty goal.
"Can it last?"
“As long as you work hard, you can do it!”
Yuchi Shuo laughed heartily. "I believe you can conquer nature, but you will eventually grow old and frail, and there will come a time when you can no longer do this. What will you do then?"
This question was too strange, and it was beyond the scope of what he was willing to answer. Yang Dinggan was embarrassed and angry, and said angrily: "We have many talented people here, and we are always updating and replacing them."
"The court isn't dealing with you, not because it's turning a blind eye. It's because that black sheep, Wen Baxian, is secretly dealing with you. If his protective umbrella is taken away, what will happen to you?"
Hearing this, Yang Ding was stunned.
But he quickly sneered, "For the past nine years, Jiangzhou's local officials have been corrupt. They provide us with intelligence, and we won't lose anything from them. This is a virtuous cycle."
"When I return to the capital, I will deal with this matter step by step. Lord Wen has decided to turn from evil to good. He has provided me with a lot of intelligence, so please turn back."
"You must have been working day and night and not getting enough rest over the years, right?"
Although Yuchi Shuo had clearly hit upon his concerns, Yang Dinggan insisted that he had rested well. "I'm living a happy life like a god. What's wrong with me?"
"It would be easy for you to kill me and him today, but you would get yourself into trouble, which would be harmful rather than beneficial. It would be better for you to turn from evil to good. Now I will reward you with this wealth and honor."
Wen Baxian's legs were trembling.
He just felt that he was in a difficult situation.
On one side is the Crown Prince who is not afraid of swords and spears, and on the other side is the stubborn mountain king.
He didn't know what to do anymore and wished he could turn into a turtle and hide away.
"We have so many people in our village. If we help you, can we really ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing in the future?" "How good can a thief's life really be?"
"I promise you'll live a good life, Yang Dinggan."
"A word is as good as gold?"
Wen Baxian was sure that Yang Dinggan would not be persuaded with just a few words, but judging from Yang Dinggan's expression at this moment, he seemed to have been shaken. The most surprising thing was that throughout the entire negotiation process, Yuchi Shuo always held the initiative and there was no coercion, inducement or intimidation on his part.
Everything went so smoothly, he was just taking advantage of the situation and making him understand the interests involved.
"A gentleman's word is as good as a whip to a galloping horse!"
Yang Dinggan completely took away the weapon that threatened him and threw it to the ground. "Your Highness, I am willing to be loyal to you."
"Brother Yang, please stand up quickly." This move of kindness and power left Wen Baxian dumbfounded. He helped Yang Yang Dinggan up and said, "From now on, you and I must cooperate sincerely."
The plan was finalized, and Yang Dinggan sent Yuchi Shuo and Wen Baxian down the mountain.
On the way, Wen Baxian was smiling.
