Chapter 937: The Price
In the eyes of many people, human life is priceless, but in the eyes of others, it is divided into three types: "one's own life", "one's own life" and "other people's life", and they will be treated differently.
Shen Hao is the latter kind of person who likes to treat human life differently. For example, he never takes the people who died under his knife or orders seriously, because he thinks that those people have a way to die, they deserve to die, they deserve to be killed. And Lingxiao Palace is the same as him.
Except for the staff of Lingxiao Palace itself, everyone in Yueying Building is regarded as "others" by Lingxiao Palace, and has never been regarded as "our own people".
For this reason, the cooperation between Shen Hao and Lingxiao Palace has generally gone smoothly.
Of course, there are still necessary bargains. But it was always Shen Hao who took the initiative.
Ling Xiaogong doesn't know exactly how many secrets of "Xuan Mei Shu" are, but they know that they need to pay a huge price to get them all, and Ling Xiaogong is psychologically prepared for this. Fortunately, what actually paid was the heads of those in the Yueying Building, and there was no need for Lingxiaogong to give Shen Hao substantial benefits for the time being.
The only thing that made Zhou Baixu and Li Ce dissatisfied and a little annoyed was that Shen Hao made the key points of "Xuan Mei Shu" a ladder value, that is to say, the later the key points of "Xuan Mei Shu", the higher the asking price, Ling If Xiaogong wants to get it, the price will be higher.
As for killing Shen Hao, or tying Shen Hao up to force him to ask about the whereabouts of "Xuan Mei Shu", it's not that Ling Xiao Palace has never considered such a method. But after measuring, I feel that the gain outweighs the loss and I have to give up.
joke! Brazenly mobilizing a member of the fourth grade of Xuanqingwei is an act of feuding with the old Jing Dynasty. Unless the Lingxiao Palace is prepared to be a mouse like those evil monks, otherwise this kind of thing cannot be done.
Of course, Shen Hao has not said the specific price yet, but he also promises that the price of each transaction will not be much higher than the previous one, and the above floating five will become the boundary.
Because he didn't know how many secrets of "Xuan Mei Shu" were left behind, Ling Xiaogong reluctantly accepted Shen Hao's proposal for the time being, although he was reluctant in the end.
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other. Here, Shen Hao took out two copies of "Xuan Mei Shu" tips at once, and correspondingly, Zhou Baixu took out a copper bar from the storage bag in exchange.
The style of the copper bar is unique, it is smaller than the common one in Jingjiu Dynasty, but thicker.
Shen Hao read some of the previous content after unfolding, then nodded, and did not really go to verify bit by bit, he has the confidence and means not to worry about Ling Xiaogong playing tricks on him. As long as Lingxiao Palace still wants the key points of the secret technique later on, it won't be so stupid as to cheat the first exchange.
"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave! Master Shen please keep this note of a thousand miles. I will keep in touch with you in the future."
"Then Shen would be more respectful than obedient."
Seeing that Shen Hao took away the copper bar and the thousand-mile note, both Zhou Baixu and Li Ce had smiles on their faces. After that, he cupped his hands to say hello and unfolded his posture, and disappeared into the woods in a moment.
The first thing Shen Hao did after returning to the commanding yamen was to rub the content on the newly obtained copper bar, and then handed the rubbing copy to Wang Jian, so that Heishui could verify all the information on it as soon as possible Again, but don't startle the snake.
Are the people in Yueying Building considered a "cancer" to Jing Jiuchao? In fact, it really doesn't count.
At best, Yueyinglou just took advantage of Yang Shu at the time of the change of imperial power. At that time, they never imagined that the weakest of the seven princes would counterattack and become the new emperor, let alone this. A wrong move made him lose the intelligence network he had built in the old Jing Dynasty for nothing, and it was also recorded by the emperor. It may take a long, long time to return to its peak.
Therefore, the notoriety of Yueyinglou was not mainly aimed at the old Jing dynasty, but at the emperor Yang Shu.
Shen Hao met the emperor several times, especially before he ascended the throne, and he was deeply impressed by the emperor, knowing that he was not a magnanimous person. The fate of Yueying Building later, as well as the recent information handed back by the sisters of the Xu family, all proved this point.
It can't be said that "every grudge must be avenged", but it is definitely "you can't rub the sand in your eyes".
Others sending Yin jade to Shen Hao was flattering him, so the verbal cooperation between Shen Hao and Lingxiao Palace was also flattering the emperor.
After Heishui digested the information from the Lingxiao Palace, it was the time for the Black Flag Camp to present gifts to the emperor first since the establishment of the Black Flag Camp. Shen Hao had to carefully consider the specific time, and he had to communicate with the commanding officer in advance.
At that time, the long-term achievement will be the steady progress of the plan to kill evil, and the near-term will be to dig deep and wipe out the remnants of the Moon Shadow Building. With the two grades presented, Shen Hao felt that even the most critical eyes would have to recognize his achievements with the Black Flag Camp. In a disguised form, he could have a higher status in front of Xuan Qingwei and even the emperor.
This is the situation Shen Hao planned for himself, whether he can achieve what he wants has to be seen slowly.
After getting off work, Shen Hao took the time to visit Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan at the Heiqiying camp.
He didn't choose to go right after he came back, but he still considered that the reunion between life and death must have a lot of private things to say, and he might applaud each other when it comes to the love, so it's not appropriate for him to hang around in front of others. So I stayed for a long time to come out to talk about the past with Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan, presumably the relationship between the two should be stable after the past.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into the single-family residence prepared for Nie Yun, he was stuffed with dog food.
I saw Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan holding hands, if you feed me a piece of fruit, I'll feed you a piece of fruit, and when Shen Hao came in, he didn't immediately shy away from it.
"." Shen Hao, whose mouth was blocked by the invisible dog food, really didn't know how to speak for a while, and even hesitated on whether he should leave first.
"Brother Shen, you're here!"
Nie Yun's enthusiastic greeting made Shen Hao, who was about to exit the door, hold his feet, and cupped his hands and said, "You didn't disturb Brother Nie and sister-in-law, did you?"
"Hahaha, how come! Come in and have a cup of tea!"
Tea? Shen Hao was suspicious, Nie Yun always liked to treat guests with wine, no matter the time, he would drink it whenever he was happy, even if he was injured now, he would use fruit wine instead, when did he drink tea?
Subconsciously glanced at Zhao Zhiyuan who was serving tea and water, Shen Hao thought to himself, "So that's how it is". It seems that even Nie Yun, who is known as one of the Jingxi Twin Eagles, has his moments of resignation.
Probably because he saw the suppressed smile on Shen Hao's face, Nie Yun was very free and easy, and said: "Isn't this hurt? Alcohol hurts the body, so it's not suitable to drink too much. It's better to drink tea, drink tea! Of course, this is you My sister-in-law is in charge, so I have no choice but to wrong you brother. Hahahaha."
This is Nie Yun. It's not a face-saving thing to be controlled by a woman for another person, but Nie Yun doesn't care. He feels Zhao Zhiyuan's care and cherishes it, and he doesn't think it's a burden at all.
Zhao Zhiyuan smiled sweetly, patted Nie Yun lightly, and then gave a big gift to Shen Hao: "Thank you Zhao Zhiyuan for your kindness, Master Shen! I will never forget it!"
