Chapter 1146: One thousand one hundred and forty-four stirring the situation (4)
"The Taoist priest is so serious. Xiao Wang and the Taoist priest are just protecting each other. There is no such thing as a great kindness or not. Taoist priest must not say this. Xiao Wang cannot take responsibility."
Since the Fourth Master wanted to use Lu Dingsheng, how could he not learn about this person's past in detail? He knew that he was just a hoist. But even though he knew that this, he still choked hard by Lu Dingsheng's rogue behavior. Fortunately, his scheming was deep enough, and there was no inappropriate expression. He just waved his hand with a smile, and warmly raised Lu Dingsheng to a position with him.
"I am ashamed, ashamed."
Lu Dingsheng is an old man, and he has long passed the age of impulsiveness. In addition, when he comes, he is determined to have good intentions. Naturally, he will not be grateful for the Fourth Master's courtesy of the wise and wise men. He said ashamed, but his old face was full of a natural look, without any intention of gratitude. There is nothing else. Lu Dingsheng has calculated that the Fourth Master must have something to do when Lu Dingsheng takes action. Since this is the case, when he should get the benefits, Lu Dingsheng will definitely not be ruthless.
"Since the Taoist priest feels ashamed, then let's show sincerity."
The Fourth Master is not good at eloquence, but when he saw Lu Dingsheng doing this, he really didn't know how to talk about it for a while. Just as he frowned slightly, Wu Sidao, who had never spoken, suddenly interrupted.
"Oh, I haven't asked this gentleman yet..."
In short, Lu Dingsheng has already changed three masters. In addition to the Fourth Master, he has always been in charge of intelligence work under the command of the Eighth Master and the Third Prince Hongxi. He has always been responsible for intelligence. He has always known Wu Crook at the Fourth Master's Mansion. In fact, as soon as he entered the door, he already knew Wu Sidao's identity, but he deliberately pretended not to know. Now, since Wu Sidao has spoken, Lu Dingsheng is not good to ignore him anymore, but he is deliberately pretending to be confused.
"Wu Sidao, an idle man in the lower palace."
Wu Sidao is a wise man in the world. He is naturally powerful in observing his face and color. How could he not tell that Lu Dingsheng was pretending to be confused, but he didn't mind. He looked calm and then reported to his house.
"Ah, it turns out it's Mr. Wu, who is disrespectful, disrespectful."
Lu Dingsheng pretended to be a charlatan in the world, and his acting skills were naturally very clever. As soon as Wu Sidao reported his name, he immediately bowed his head in extreme surprise and bowed with admiration.
"The Taoist priest came to the capital without hesitation. I guess he had something to ask for. Then open the skylight and say something bright."
If it were someone else, Lu Dingsheng's extremely admired complimentary look, he might be so gloomy that he didn't know what he said, but Wu Sidao wouldn't even take his tricks at all. He glanced at Lu Dingsheng with an expressionless face, and pointed out his intentions without any concern.
"this……"
Lu Dingsheng had his own wishes, but he obviously did not intend to negotiate with a smart person like Wu Sidao. While hesitating, he turned his inquiring eyes to the Fourth Master.
"Dao Master, don't worry. Mr. Wu has always been the decision of the Taoist priest. Just say whatever the Taoist priest has to ask."
The Fourth Master was very self-aware and thought that he was just a little sensible. He was willing to hand over the matter to Wu Sidao for treatment. Seeing Lu Dingsheng's eyes looked over, he immediately smiled, and with a calm expression, he pushed Wu Sidao to the position of the head.
"Oh, hehe, the prince is so polite and noble, and he is truly worthy of being the wise king of today. I admire him, and admire him."
When Lu Dingsheng heard what the Fourth Master said, he immediately laughed dryly, and praised the Fourth Master with some meaning. There was only one intention, that is, to try to alienate the relationship between the Fourth Master and Wu Sidao and gain more bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations. Unfortunately, the Fourth Master did not accept the call at all, so he just smiled indifferently.
"Master, please get back to the topic. Please tell me if you have any requests."
The Fourth Master did not accept the call, and Wu Sidao urged Lu Dingsheng from the side.
"Okay, since Mr. Wu said that, I will be arrogant. Haha, I think the prince and Mr. Wu know that my family died at the hands of Hongqing, the dog thief. If the prince is accomplished, I will ask his dog to pay tribute to his family. I think the prince should not agree to this?"
Lu Dingsheng was very smart and did not talk about the details as soon as he came up. Instead, he first tested the bottom line of the Fourth Master. Because of the confidentiality, the Fourth Master and the Second Master had never disclosed the action plan to Lu Dingsheng. Because of this, Lu Dingsheng was also very unfounded and could not help but worry about selling it to the Fourth Master. Even though he knew that if he asked directly, it would be difficult to get a reliable answer, so he could only test it in words.
"It's all right to say what the Taoist priest has to ask, but Wu can make such a decision if he can do energy consumption."
Lu Dingsheng's little abacus was very loud, but unfortunately Wu Sidao was not fooled. He neither explained his hint nor commented on his request. Instead, he gave a seemingly clear but meaningless promise in a calm tone.
"This..., haha, I don't know what Mr. Wu wants me to do. If I don't explain it clearly, I don't know what to ask for. I would also ask Mr. Wu for advice."
Seeing that the tests from many parties were fruitless, Lu Dingsheng obviously gave up the idea of fighting with Wu Sidao, so he simply opened the skylight and spoke out loud, and asked the Fourth Master's side's arrangements directly.
"It's very simple. Wu only needs Taoist priest to raise the flags in Shanxi and Henan at the right time. As for the specific time and scale, Wu will notify him separately. I think it would be not difficult to do it with Taoist priest's prestige in these two places?"
Wu Sidao didn't hide too much this time. Although he didn't say it too specifically, he basically told what Lu Dingsheng was going to do.
"That's it?"
Raising the flag to rebel is the secret skill of the White Lotus Sect. Since the Song Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has done this many things. Lu Dingsheng was not very concerned about this, but he obviously didn't think that things would be so simple.
"Yes, that's it."
Wu Sidao nodded indifferently and gave the answer affirmatively, but did not explain the strangeness.
"Well..., this matter is of great importance. Although I am determined, I am afraid that I am not strong enough. If the prince can allocate more money, muskets, artillery and other military funds, it would be impossible to do anything."
Lu Dingsheng was the subordinate of the Eighth Master back then, so naturally he acted as to what the Eighth Master ordered. But now, he and the Fourth Master are just using each other's relationship, so naturally they do not want to be driven by the Fourth Master for nothing. Once they figured out what the Fourth Master wanted, Lu Dingsheng immediately thought about getting more benefits.
"You can give the Taoist priest 100,000 taels of silver. No matter how much it is, it is impossible. As for muskets and cannons, the Taoist priest doesn't have to worry about it. Whether you are willing to do it is just a matter of one sentence. Taoist priest please decide for yourself."
Wu Sidao did not give Lu Dingsheng a chance to bargain. He pressed his hand and offered the final conditions in an unquestionable tone.
"This..., haha, please forgive me for saying that even a ants cherish their lives, let alone me. If there is only such a condition, it is really difficult for me to do so. Mr. Wu would rather find someone else, say goodbye, say goodbye."
One hundred thousand taels of silver is already a huge sum of money, but Lu Dingsheng now has a big appetite and is not something that can be satisfied with one hundred thousand taels of silver. Seeing that Wu Sidao was so tough, he immediately stood up and pretended not to talk further.
"Master, don't hurry to leave. Let's hear Wu say a place name - Wangjiazhuang, Baihe Town, Mengjin County, Luoyang, Henan Province. I wonder if the president can remember something?"
Facing Lu Dingsheng who was suddenly rising, the Fourth Master looked very calm and had no intention of trying to keep him. However, Wu Sidao smiled and pointed at him with some meaning.
"you……"
As soon as Wu Sidao said this, Lu Dingsheng, who had already turned around, suddenly froze, then turned around and stared at Wu Sidao angrily, opening his mouth to curse, but when the words came to his mouth, he lost the courage to say it. There was nothing else. Lu Dingsheng's wife and two sons were hiding in Wangjiazhuang, Baihe Town, Mengjin County, Luoyang, Henan!
"Master, don't worry, please sit down and discuss it slowly. Don't worry, but if you eliminate the big things, Xiao Wangduan will not lose to the Taoist priest."
Wu Sidao has been a bad guy, so the Fourth Master naturally has to come forward to be a good guy at the right time. This is what the title is, but there is nothing strange about it.
"snort!"
Lu Dingsheng was angry, but Jia Xiao couldn't ignore it. Although he had a cold face and snorted heavily, he still didn't have the courage to leave after he left. He could only sit back unwillingly.
"The Taoist priest has invited me. If the money is not enough, Wu can make the decision to allocate another 50,000 taels. As for military funds, there are some swords and guns. Then someone will naturally send them to the Taoist priest. If you want muskets and cannons, you must try to seize them. Just this is the condition, the Taoist priest will do it."
Wu Sidao was not just tough to the end. When he relaxed his mouth, he gave Lu Dingsheng some more benefits.
"Hey, Mr. Wu said it, that's all right. However, I have two conditions. One is to let me go, and the other is to ask the prince to give me a document. If the prince accomplishes a big thing in the future, I must pardon my family. Otherwise, I will forgive me for not being able to obey my orders!"
Lu Dingsheng wandered for most of his life, with only two sons under his knees, so he was reluctant to sacrifice himself. Even though he knew that this time was very likely to be used by the Fourth Master, he had no choice but to ask for protection first.
"Rareless! This guy..."
When Hongli, who was standing beside him, could no longer calm down. He shouted in a stern voice and said, "The evidence of the crime" would be extremely conclusive because of the fact that Lu Dingsheng had evil intentions, it would be not easy to play with.
"Um!"
Before Hongli finished speaking, the Fourth Master waved his hand and stopped his scolding. He stared at Lu Dingsheng with a cold expression for a long time before he opened his mouth in a low tone: "Get the pen and ink!"
"Ama...yes."
