Chapter 622: Using the Opponent's Force to Counter the Opponent's Force, Fighting Left and Right

Yinghu sighed: "We have been planning for a long time, but in this situation, it is really not worth the death of the fake mother."

Yinglu snorted: "It's not worth it. If she hadn't been forced to do so, she wouldn't have made this move. If I guessed correctly, she originally wanted to skip me and cooperate directly with Xiang Chen. But I didn't expect that, Her father suddenly took action and put her behind bars, forcing her to rethink her way of survival. "

"But the child has always doubted, can the king trust her?"

Yinglu sneered: "What about trust? You don't know how much wealth Ba Qing represents. Xiang Chen needs money more than I do. There is no reason to reject the wealth that fell from the sky."

Yinghu said: "Where is King Xiaoyao? This person has a strange mind. Speaking of which, I am most worried about this person."

Yinglu also pondered deeply: "...Right now, the only person my father can't see clearly is this person. The news in Yingdu City is undoubtedly his handiwork, but is he sure of his own, or is it just like Ba Qing said? Say, it’s just an act of desperation?”

Yinghu shook his head slightly: "I don't believe him if he says he is helpless."

Yinglu nodded: "Yes, along the way, he first easily saw through me and Lu Qinghou, then disclosed his relationship with Xiang Chen, and then broke his father's plan to expel him. Then he sang with Xiang Chen to bring him to justice. It’s really a headache to be a father and not know what kind of monster he will be next.”

"If it's all part of his plan, what does he want?"

Yinglu glanced at his son approvingly: "This is the fundamental question. Does he want people or money? Or does he want to plan the Chu Kingdom?"

In his opinion, these three are very different. Yinglu is not stupid. If the purpose was different, things would be completely different. If Jiang Fan only wanted money, that would be easier. As Ba Qing said, win-win cooperation is just like himself and Lu Qinghou.

If you want to plan the Chu Kingdom and manage something, you have to see whether it is beneficial to you. If it is profitable, we can also cooperate. If it is harmful but not beneficial, we must attack it with all our strength.

The most troublesome thing is asking for people. Once Ba Qing truly becomes his person, everything he said before will be meaningless, and may even be a conspiracy or trap that must be completely overturned.

"The problem is that we can't see clearly and can't ask yet." Yinglu paced back and forth, slightly irritated.

Yinghu said: "Didn't he say that Ba Qing should be free to choose?"

"Hmph!" Yinglu said: "Free choice? Who has real freedom? If he dares to say this, he may not be grabbing Ba Qing's leverage. This marriage could have been forced, but Jiang Fan and Xiang Chen were so Once it was done, it failed. You didn't notice that Ba Qing finally expressed her attitude at this time. She had been silent before without any foreign aid. But as soon as Jiang Fan and Xiang Chen took action, she responded immediately. This is what makes her so powerful. , seize the opportunity at the critical moment and overthrow all my father's plans in one fell swoop."

Yinghu frowned and said: "The question now is whether we will accept her suggestion or not. We don't have much time."

Yinglu sighed: "Time is no longer a problem now. You heard Ba Qing's words clearly. We have no other way to go. We must either give up Ba Qing completely or give it a try."

"It would be a pity to give up..." Yinghu naturally understood the weight of the word Ba Qing.

"The key depends on whether the price we have to pay is worth it and whether we can afford the consequences of failure."

Yinghu said: "If the Jin State takes 20%, the Xia State 20% and the Chu State 30%, this deal can be regarded as a huge profit. So I think the price is worth it. If we talk about the consequences of failure, it is nothing more than loss. Huge wealth, the real power in southern Xinjiang that my father wants has to be planned separately. "

Yinglu's eyebrows were gloomy: "Let's do it."

Yinghu said: "Then over there with the half-faced man..."

Yinglu's face was expressionless: "What they do has nothing to do with us..."

——

This major event, which the people of Yingdu were very interested in, finally settled in front of the Chu Palace, witnessed by the King of Chu, officials and countless civilians.

King Xiaoyao presented the certificate of surrender written by Ba Qing himself, which was verified to be correct.

Therefore, King Xiaoyao opposed the marriage and openly reprimanded Yinglu for robbing his subordinates.

Immediately, Marquis Julu apologized to King Xiaoyao for not knowing. But he pointed out that Ba Qing had a business relationship with him and these wealth could not belong to King Xiaoyao.

This point is recognized by the Chu people, after all, no one wants to lose money.

During the stalemate, Ba Qing proposed to switch to a cooperative relationship with both parties to calm the matter.

King Xiaoyao was reluctant, but after King Chu intervened to mediate, he finally accepted it.

Finally, under the witness of the King of Chu, Ba Qing completely abandoned his subordinate status, became a collaborator of Julu Hou and King Xiaoyao, and formulated a distribution method.

The matter finally came to an end.

The happiest person among them was King Xiang. This matter was not made public. Only a few of them knew that King Xiang had taken 50% of the profits from Ba Qing's business in Chu for no reason.

The most important thing is that he did not let Yinglu's plan to indirectly strengthen control of southern Xinjiang succeed, nor did he sacrifice his position as Julu Gong. It's like killing three birds with one stone.

The most disgraced person was Yinglu. He lost his wife and lost his army. It is said that he was even made very angry by his two sons who strongly opposed him.

Therefore, at the banquet hosted by King Xiang, he became drunk and went crazy, and was finally carried back to the mansion by his two sons.

King Xiaoyao seemed dissatisfied with the loss of Ba Qing as his subordinate, and went back to rest before the banquet was over.

Xiang Chen did not stop him. He was in a good mood and even wanted to send King Xiaoyao back to the posthouse in person.

On the carriage, Jiang Fan squinted at Xiang Chen, who was wearing a helmet and shaking armor.

"Brother, if you are dressed like this, are you going to fight?"

Xiang Chen stared at him: "Brother, I told you to come and go as you please, do you think... okay?"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "Brother, are you still upset about what happened back then?"

Xiang Chen snorted: "What do you think, brother?"

Jiang Fan scratched his head: "I think - harmony is the most valuable, and a real man is one who can take it and let it go..."

"You are not a victim!" Xiang Chen raised his thick eyebrows, and his tiger eyes flashed with cold light.

Jiang Fan sneered: "Brother, you are a great hero in the world, with great courage. You should not be so petty, just like a woman."

Xiang Chen shook his head: "A real man must repay a favor and avenge a grudge."

Jiang Fan sighed: "So, you are not here to see me off, you are here to kill me."

Xiang Chen sneered: "My dear brother, I am afraid you don't plan to go back to the posthouse. I guessed right. Are you going to leave without saying goodbye?"

Jiang Fan laughed: "I can't hold my liquor. Brother, you think too much."

Xiang Chen pressed his iron palm on the hilt of the sword at his waist: "My dear brother, since you are here, don't rush to leave. How about staying and drinking with me for a few years——?"

Jiang Fan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I have a family and a wife, and I won't let her."

"Are you threatening me with her?" Xiang Chen's eyes were cold.
