Chapter 42 Considerations
It was amid such concern that Xuanwu heard the news about Kang Jinlong coming from below.
"Kang Jinlong?"
As ambition is greater than that of Qinglong, Xuanwu with Diting eyeliner is arranged on the territory of Dongjitian, so he is naturally familiar with the name "Kang Jinlong".
"Why did he come to our Arctic Heaven?"
Even though he belongs to the Tianyan Sect and has always been attracting Zhongjitian's firepower for himself, Xuanwu still has no good feelings for Kang Jinlong, the only living leader of Dongjitian.
Because Qinglong is dead.
Although he knew very well that it was very unrealistic to ask the people below to take the initiative to bury him after being defeated as the leader of the Lord of the Territory, he still lived well after losing the boss of Qinglong like Kang Jinlong, and even escaped from heaven and continued to seek a way out for him. As a subordinate who is consistent with Qinglong, how could he feel comfortable?
Therefore, even if he heard the news, Kang Jinlong came to join him. After Xuanwu heard the news, he didn't like Kang Jinlong very much.
After all, a guy who can sell his immediate boss without hesitation and only cares about running for his own life will obviously sell him, the new boss without hesitation in the future.
However, immediately, when he thought of the Ning Mansion, which was still hiding in the thick fog, he couldn't help but temporarily suppress his dislike of Kang Jinlong and planned to meet Kang Jinlong.
Of course, before meeting him, he had to carefully investigate what Kang Jinlong had done since he came to the capital to prevent Kang Jinlong from surrendering to the court. The purpose of this campaign was to attract him to appear.
Compared to Cui Sike's poor strength, and he could only find some sporadic news from the walking of Diting's lower class. Therefore, in more cases, he could only rely on the actions of Kang Jinlong after entering the capital to identify and investigate inefficient means. As Diting's lord, Xuanwu could obviously get all the detailed information about Kang Jinlong from Diting.
Even Xuanwu learned from Di Ting part of the truth about Kang Jinlong escaping from Yingtian City.
However, just like Cui Sike and others were unable to find out the relevant news about Kang Jinlong's escape from Yingtian City when he was inquiring, even if Xuanwu, who was the Lord Diting, could investigate all the news about Diting, had been blank until Kang Jinlong escaped from Yingtian City again and appeared in the capital during the period when he was in the capital again.
The source of information he could rely on was actually the relevant news reported by Cui Sike and others through the Arctic Tianjingjin Hall.
I already knew in my heart that Kang Jinlong had been staying in Xuanwu in Cui Sike's inn for this period of time. Naturally, I didn't even want to believe a word in my heart about these news.
As the Lord of the North Pole Heaven, he knew very well the abilities of star lords like Kang Jinlong.
With Kang Jinlong's ability, he was absolutely sure to make Cui Sike and other frogs in the well be fooled, and whatever they said would make them believe.
However, even if I didn't even want to believe a word about Kang Jinlong's narrative about the disappearance during this period, for Xuanwu, these news was not completely worthless.
At least, the relevant information obtained during the days when Cui Sike sent someone to monitor Kang Jinlong was still credible.
...
"Are you refugees?"
Although it is hard to imagine that a star lord from the East Jitian is willing to pretend to be a refugee and hang out among refugee and beggar all day long, with Cui Sike, Wei Mao and several times who listened to some low-level walking proved that Xuanwu still believed 70% of the news, especially when their news was sent, the detailed description of Kang Jinlong stealing steamed buns because he was too hungry to bear, greatly increasing his trust in the news.
Just as when Cui Sike saw this scene, he immediately believed in Kang Jinlong, Xuanwu didn't think that if Kang Jinlong really surrendered to the court, he would have been so miserable. When he heard the most miserable time, he was even a little drifting when he walked. This was almost three or four pairs of eyes had witnessed it with his own eyes.
After temporarily excluding the suspicion of Kang Jinlong, Xuanwu still did not summon Kang Jinlong immediately, but just wrote a note with a very arrogant attitude to the Lord of the Tianjingji Hall of the North Pole, and ordered him to hand it over to Kang Jinlong.
On the note is the first order Xuanwu gave Kang Jinlong:
He was appointed as an ordinary incense master, responsible for replacing a incense hall that was previously taken away by the Jinyiwei.
Of course, this appointment is just an empty shell, and there is no money and money in the incense hall, so let it solve it on its own.
If we look at Kang Jinlong as one of the seven star masters in the East Ji Tian, Xuanwu's order was completely an insult to Zhu Guoguo.
But in Kang Jinlong's view, only such insult can we test the true thoughts in Kang Jinlong's heart.
...
Kang Jinlong's actions after receiving the order were not beyond Xuanwu's expectations.
Faced with Xuanwu's behavior, which was completely insulting, Kang Jinlong endured it. No, perhaps the word "天" is very different. Because Kang Jinlong, after accepting Xuanwu's order, he was equivalent to officially becoming an ordinary incense master in the North Pole Heaven, and he abandoned the title of "Kang Jinlong", which was originally one of the seven-star masters of the East Pole Heaven.
In short, after receiving the first order issued by Xuanwu, Wu Jian immediately did not say a word of nonsense and "take office" anymore.
When Cui Sike and others were absolutely overdoing what their Xuanwu Lord did, Wu Jian became the incense master who was "on par with Cui Sike and others without any complaints. Of course, he is still a bachelor at present.
After stopping Cui Sike and others from "exploring an explanation" for him, Kang Jinlong, under the 24/7 uninterrupted surveillance of elite experts sent by Di Ting, went five streets away from Yuelai Inn and began his career as the Lord of the Arctic Tianxiang.
...
"Lord, the fact that this Kang Jinlong can be so tolerant is that he has a great idea in his heart. Maybe it is because the court is forcing him behind his back that he has to respond and try to continue to mingle into the North Pole and cooperate with the court inside and outside."
Compared to Xuanwu, many Diting senior officials felt that Kang Jinlong's actions were too extraordinary after receiving the news, and they felt that they were too alert.
"That's right, Lord. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of anything! Anyway, this Kang Jinlong is just a dog that is stray. Why don't you find several good men to come to the door tonight and use a quick knife to cut the mess."
Some people even adhere to the idea of "I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!" and directly suggested that they make the Kang Jinlong as soon as possible to avoid any trouble.
"Ha, you have killed too many people recently, and you have too much intention to kill."
But Xuanwu chuckled and waved his hand, rejecting their proposal.
"And, in your opinion, Wu Jian's actions have other intentions, but in my opinion, he is quite smart and considers himself entirely."
After hearing Xuanwu's analysis, the audience couldn't help but show doubts. They couldn't understand the logic behind Xuanwu's words.
"Hey, have you forgotten what miserable situation he had fallen into before he got in contact with the North Pole Heaven? How could a guy who had been so destined to rely on stealing to barely maintain his life not to starve to death directly give up his current life of being able to eat and drink because of this so-called insult. Can the shame that he suffered from falling from the position of Star Lord to the incense Lord really be greater than being forced to steal a few steamed buns because of hunger?"
Xuanwu seemed to know that they didn't understand it, so he opened his mouth to explain it to them.
"Even if he really felt that the order from the Lord of the Lord was too insulted and planned to vote for another place, he would only leave quietly, because with his ability to sit outside the Lord of the Star in Dongjitian before, it would be impossible to see that if he really broke up and had a weak force, he would only die faster when he fought head-on with the Lord."
Speaking of this, Xuanwu seemed to be a little thirsty because he had consumed too much saliva. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and moistened his throat with the tea, and then continued to say to his subordinates who were thinking.
"If you immediately pretend to be greatly insulted after seeing the order of the Lord of the Lord and try to leave immediately or even other means to force the Lord of the Lord to make concessions, there is only one reason, he is fearless! And in this capital, where he has just arrived in more than a month, who can make him directly compete with the Lord of the Lord without fear?"
As Xuanwu continued to spit out his words slowly, most of the senior executives who listened to him had a look of surprise on their faces.
"So, as long as this most likely threat is eliminated, no matter which of the remaining two reactions Wu Jian makes, it is trustworthy for the deity for the time being."
"Thank you, Lord, for resolving our doubts, we have received the teachings."
The senior executives who finally understood Xuanwu's thinking logic immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Xuanwu and said gratefully.
"Um."
Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction, pondered for a while before he continued to speak again.
"Since Wu Jian's suspicion has been cleared for the time being, there is no need to be too cautious next time. Just follow the supply of ordinary incense hall, give him supplies and money every month. By the way, he can also take a look at how real the "crossing river dragon" from Dongjitian has.
If he is truly famous, then continue to investigate for a while, test it a few times, and prove that he really has no problem, he will give full play to his talents and use everything."
"Lord, what if he doesn't deserve his name?"
As Di Ting's Lord, Xuanwu naturally has no shortage of supporting actors.
"Not the name deserves it?"
But Xuanwu didn't seem to have expected that someone would give a message here, so he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
"If the name is not true, then let him stay below. Although the horse bones in Qianjin City are destroyed, the number of disciples who escaped like Wu Jian should be quite large. Now our relationship with the Ning Prince's Mansion is still unclear. Taking advantage of the fact that more experienced players can still play a role. If not, at least they can act as cannon fodder and die for our people."
The threat from the court was brought back by the censors with the censors. It was almost gone. What made Xuanwu most difficult now was the Ning Prince's Mansion, which was still unclear.
He gave Wu Jian a chance, most of the reasons were because of this.
If King Ning was really furious because of his previous temptation and his attempt to climb onto the table and sit on equal footing with him, he was ready to "clean up the portal" and break up completely with him and start a war, then Wu Jian's idle move will be of great use.
Not to mention that Wu Jian himself is one of the seven star masters of Dongjitian, and his strength should be at least comparable to the seven star masters under him. After going to war with King Ning, he has a good combat power. Just Wu Jian, the identity of Kang Jinlong, will give him the opportunity to make great use of it at that time.
The most intuitive and simplest thing is naturally to send Wu Jian to Hongdu Mansion and go to the Ning Prince’s Mansion undercover as the only senior executive in Dongjitian.
Even if King Ning may torture Wu Jian severely because of suspicion in his heart, or even kill Wu Jian directly to avoid trouble, he will not suffer any loss for him, right?
But if Wu Jian really gained the trust of King Ning, he would have been invincible in the intelligence battle with King Ning.
However, if Wu Jian really wants to use it for him, it seems that this incense master who is almost insulting is difficult to win over Wu Jian at all with this almost insulting nature.
So should I give Wu Jian more benefits now?
This idea only took a breath in Xuanwu's heart, and he immediately gave up.
Because he knew in his heart that compared with his strength between him and King Ning, even if he gave Wu Jian a star lord position who was only below him, it would not be enough for King Ning. Even if he was the position of Xuanwu, it might not work.
After all, when Zhongjitian was also wiped out by the court, King Ning could have promised Huanglong's position to Wu Jian.
As for other aspects, such as money, he, a lord who needs to maintain the two major organizations of Beiji Tian and Diting, is obviously even more incomparable to the dignified prince of King Ning.
So how can I make Wu Jian use it for me?
Xuanwu fell into deep thoughts.
...
Just when Xuanwu was still thinking deeply about how to win over Wu Jian so that Wu Jian could use it for him when he had a conflict with the Ning Palace, he finally left Yuelai Inn and gained the power to move freely, but Wu Jian was searching for the person that Xuanwu was most afraid of - Changsheng Sword, Bai Shier.
Di Ting, who makes a living by inquiring about news, is indeed much better than ordinary disciples like Cui Sike in terms of tracking and surveillance.
Anyway, Wu Jian, who was swaying around, did not find anyone following behind him by exploring the terrain and looking for his subordinates as an excuse.
Fortunately, before he started to act, he only contacted Bai Shier alone, and Bai Shier came to contact him. Otherwise, at this time, maybe Di Ting's good guy who was following him who had found something was wrong.
But even so, they began to vaguely feel that the "new incense master" they followed seemed to be a little too active!
