Chapter 319 Raising the Price
Prince Wei?
Lu Yu's heart was moved when he heard this name suddenly. A well-known name in the Dali Sword Sect immediately emerged in his mind - Wei Zhihan, ranked in the top ten on the Golden Sunflower List, the eldest son of the Wei family, a genius who rose like a comet in just a few years.
Could it be that the person hiding behind Xu Yichen was him?
I didn't expect that he would actually participate in Qin Yanzhen's treasure-stealing plan. It seems that this person is not only talented and has a deep background, but also acts without rules and is bold and reckless. No wonder he can become famous in just a few years and become famous all over the world...
I don't know when Xu Yichen became Wei Zhihan's follower and passed the microphone...
"I came here because of Brother Wei's intention. There is one thing he asked me to tell Duke Gao in person..."
Xu Yichen said, raised his head and glanced at Lu Yu beside him casually, obviously reminding Qin Yanzhen that this matter was very critical, whether the person in front of him was really trustworthy.
Qin Yanzhen smiled lightly: "You go ahead, Wang Lang is a trustworthy person, but you can talk!"
Xu Yichen couldn't help but look at Lu Yu again, and then said: "Brother Wei has recently received a message that Baiyunfeng of our sect and the Yuan family have a secret cooperation plan in progress. The two are very close. If Duke Gao wants to plot against the Yuan family, Baiyunfeng must be on guard!"
"Baiyunfeng?"
Qin Yanzhen was finally surprised.
"What secret cooperation plan do they have?"
Lu Yu couldn't help but think of the killing order issued by Baiyunfeng to him when he first entered the Dali Sword Sect, and he also wanted to bribe Yang Chudie to kill him. At that time, he thought that this order was a bit inexplicable, but now that he knew about the secret connection between Baiyunfeng and the Yuan royal family, this order seemed to be not so difficult to understand.
Xu Yichen shook his head: "This matter is the secret of Baiyun Peak. Only the head of Baiyun Peak and a few elders know about it. Senior Brother Wei only knows that there is such a thing, but the specific situation is unknown..."
Qin Yanzhen frowned slightly: "What does the Wei prince mean now? Is he going to back out?"
Xu Yichen smiled and said: "It's just Baiyun Peak. How could it make our Wei prince back out? However, this matter does add unknown variables and many more dangers. Therefore, our Wei prince feels that the conditions originally agreed upon are no longer suitable and must be changed."
"Oh? Does he want to raise the price?"
Qin Yanzhen's eyes were slightly cold: "Why don't you tell me what conditions he offered?"
"Double!" Xu Yichen answered simply, "Our Wei prince asked that after the matter is completed, he should have a double share!"
"Ha! What a Wei prince!"
Qin Yanzhen couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"He really has a big appetite. He wants to take double the share. How can I explain this to other partners?"
Xu Yichen said slowly: "Brother Wei will not take advantage of everyone for nothing. He has his reasons for taking double the share. If the Duke agrees to our Brother Wei's request, he will take the initiative to solve Bai Yunfeng's troubles for everyone and will not let Bai Yunfeng intervene in this incident!"
Qin Yanzhen fell silent.
Originally, she was already short of manpower to deal with the entire Yuan family. If Wei Zhihan could deal with Bai Yunfeng independently, then this matter could be considered. Otherwise, she might have to add other manpower.
The only thing to worry about now is whether Wei Zhihan's claim that he could deal with Bai Yunfeng's interference independently is credible...
"I will seriously consider this matter." Qin Yanzhen said at last.
Xu Yichen smiled slightly: "In that case, I will wait for Jingyin! I will stay in Qianwu City for two days, hoping to get good news from the Duke before then, otherwise once I go back to report to Brother Wei, this matter will miss the opportunity..."
Qin Yanzhen snorted softly and said: "Does Prince Wei have anything else to say?"
Xu Yichen immediately bowed very tactfully and said: "I will take my leave first!"
After saying that, he left the clinic and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.
In the clinic, only Lu Yu and Qin Yanzhen were left.
"What do you think?"
Qin Yanzhen suddenly asked Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was startled: "What do you mean?"
Qin Yanzhen said: "Now you are also one of the collaborators of this plan, and you naturally have the right to express your opinions on the whole thing. Do you think the words of this Wei Shizi are reliable?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes: "Isn't this the collaborator you found? Why do you ask me if I am reliable?"
"Can't I hear your opinion?"
"I don't know if he is reliable..." Lu Yu shrugged, "But this person is ranked tenth on the Golden Sunflower List, and has a deep background. Such a powerful person, I am afraid his status is more respected than you, the Daluo Saint who hides your identity? If we don't agree to his request, if he turns against us and wants to make trouble for us, can we afford it?"
Qin Yanzhen was not convinced and said, "Wei Zhihan is indeed a powerful figure, but are we easy to get along with? If he wants to turn his face against us, he must think carefully!"
Lu Yu shrugged and said, "If that's the case, then you can make the decision. Anyway, I have no opinion. I support you no matter what!"
Qin Yanzhen fell silent again, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, obviously weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
Lu Yu said again, "Compared to this, I am more interested in the identity of other partners... Even the top ten people on the Golden Sunflower List have joined your plan. Who will the other partners be? When can I meet other people?"
Qin Yanzhen did not comment: "Don't worry, there will always be a chance for you to meet them."
The two did not talk about other things next. Qin Yanzhen asked his subordinates to send Lu Yu back to Honglu Villa directly, and told him to rest well and not to cause trouble, so as not to delay important things.
The two parted ways and did not meet again in the next few days, but a few days later Qin Yanzhen sent him a message. The content of the message was very simple, with only three short words - agreed.
Lu Yu suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, knowing that Qin Yanzhen finally agreed to Wei Zhihan's conditions.
Although the two never met again, the wedding was being prepared in full swing, and the wedding date was getting closer and closer.
This means that the plan to steal the treasure has also entered the final countdown.
Qianwu City began to surge, and people from all sides gradually gathered.
Lu Yu always kept in mind the identities of other collaborators. Every day, he paid attention to the identities of the various people who came to Qianwu City, hoping to find some clues from them, but unfortunately he never got anything.
It was not until a shocking news came that Lu Yu finally confirmed the identity of one of the collaborators.
As Qin Yanzhen's wedding was approaching, the Dawu Dynasty's border army changed its commander, and the Northern Wei Dynasty took this opportunity to mobilize troops and generals. The Northern Wei army deployed millions of soldiers on the border between the two countries, and the war was about to break out.
However, Lou Tinghai, the swordsman of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led the delegation south at such a sensitive moment and took the initiative to come to participate in this unprecedented wedding of the Dawu Dynasty.
