The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 169 Cooperation Intention
After some calculations, Ran Hai had already made up his mind, and he cupped his hands and said, "In order to prevent the conflict between the two countries from intensifying, of course we can't kill them openly, what about assassination?"

"Assassination? Ye Junyan lives in the chief's mansion now. The gate of the chief's mansion is heavily guarded and the guards are extremely tight. How can he be assassinated easily, in case things are leaked?" Mo Changhao didn't continue.

However, Ran Hai obviously understood what Mo Changhao meant, and said with a smile, "What if it's in Zhaoxuan Kingdom?"

"Zhaoxuan State? You mean to assassinate Ye Junyan and Gu Xining in Zhaoxuan State? But in the short term, who will let them leave Southern Xinjiang?" Mo Changhao asked suspiciously.

"Of course there are people, that's why Ran Hai came here this time." Ran Hai said with a confident face while looking at Mo Changhao.

Mo Changhao lowered his head suspiciously, thought carefully for a while, then raised his head and asked Ran Hai, "Are you here to take Ye Junyan back to Zhaoxuan Kingdom?"

Ran Hai shook his head lightly with a smile and said: "I'm here to send them to the west. Before I came, another minister in the court, that is, his confidant, named Du Wangshan, ordered to welcome the emperor back. , if my expectations are correct, the people who greet the emperor at this moment should have already arrived in southern Xinjiang."

Mo Changhao lowered his head and stroked his beard and said, "Recently, I have indeed heard reports that a group of troops from the Zhaoxuan Kingdom have entered the border of the southern border. I think they are the people you mentioned. You want us to send someone to join him Ambushes on the road that must be passed, and then kill him after he leaves the southern border?"

"Patriarch Mingjian, that's exactly what Ran Hai meant." Ran Hai replied with a bow.

Mo Changhao lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Even if we strike at the border of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, it is not [-]% guaranteed to succeed. Once it fails, the entire Mo family will become sinners in southern Xinjiang. The risk is too great, I am afraid."

Ran Hai heard too much embarrassment in Mo Changhao's mouth, and quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Patriarch. If this is a clan, it is indeed unavoidable to have scruples, but what if several big clans act together?"

Hearing what Ran Hai said, Mo Changhao blinked curiously, looked at Ran Hai and asked, "You mean, you have already persuaded other tribes to participate in this operation?"

"Not yet, but as long as Patriarch Mo nods his head and agrees, Ran Hai is willing to be a lobbyist, lobbying other tribes to participate in the action together." Ran Hai said with a confident expression, stroking his long beard.

Mo Changhao stared at Ran Hai for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Are you sure? Can you convince other tribes?"

Ran Hai smiled confidently and said: "Among the five major tribes in southern Xinjiang, as long as you, the chieftain, agrees, as for the other tribes, I am confident that I can persuade the chieftains of other tribes to join the action with a three-inch tongue. , when the time comes, one will be honored and the other will be humiliated, even if the matter is revealed, seeing so many tribes participating in the operation, even if the high priest is angry, there is nothing he can do."

"Oh? Prime Minister Ran is willing to be a lobbyist himself? Wouldn't this damage Prime Minister Ran's prestige?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the patriarch is willing to give me this opportunity, the old man is willing to be a lobbyist." Ran Hai said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll give you this chance. As long as you can convince the Tuoba clan, Xiao clan and Ha clan among the five major tribes, the old man will cooperate with you to kill Ye Junyan, how about it?" Mo Changhao finally Said somewhat waveringly.

Ran Hai saw that the other party was in his arms, so he quickly cupped his hands and said: "Okay, then it's a deal, doesn't Ying need to fight?" Tribal cooperation is enough. As the historical leader of southern Xinjiang, the Ying family has an extraordinary status. How could they be easily given up by the other party?This made Ran Hai a little confused, so he couldn't help asking, mainly because although Ran Hai had heard that Gu Xinning had become a saint in southern Xinjiang, he still didn't know that Gu Xinning's mother was from the Ying family. And Gu Xinning is the only saintess heir. According to the rules of the Southern Xinjiang tribe and the saintess succession system, Gu Xinning should be named Ying, so Gu Xinning is actually a member of the Ying family.

The Ying family has just lost the great leader Ying Keqing, and they are already heartbroken. Now someone is coming to murder their saint, how can the people of the Ying family agree?

After Mo Changhao explained the reasons and relationship to Ran Hai in detail, Ran Hai suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that Gu Xinning is from the Ying clan, no wonder he suddenly became a saint, okay! , then I will fight for the other three major tribes, plus the Mo family, even if there are only four major tribes, I believe the high priest will not dare to offend easily."

After bidding farewell to Mo Changhao, Ran Hai hesitated for a while, then decided to lobby Ha Qishan first. There are two reasons why he chose Ha Qishan first.

First, the relationship between Ha Qishan and Mo Luotang was not on good terms. Apart from wanting to destroy the peace between the two countries, the purpose of killing Ye Junyan this time was to avenge Mo Luotang to a certain extent. It may be because of Mo Luotang's relationship that he refused to cooperate. If Ha Qishan finally decided to refuse to cooperate, then even if Ran Hai convinced the other three, once Ha Qishan refused to cooperate, his previous efforts would probably be for naught, so Ran Hai decided to give up first. This tough bone.

Second, the Hashi tribe is the most powerful among the tribes in southern Xinjiang. If they can get the help of Hashi, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, if other tribes know that Hashi has also agreed to cooperate, they will definitely be able to increase the chances of a successful peace negotiation. chips.

When Ran Hai came to Ha Qishan's barracks, Ha Qishan was drinking, and Ran Hai asked the soldiers to inform Ha Qishan that he wanted to meet Ha Qishan.

The answer I got was: "Master Ran, I'm really sorry, the patriarch has been depressed recently, drinking hard every day, drinking when he wakes up, and sleeping when he is drunk. The little one just went to see him, and now the patriarch has fallen asleep again. Please forgive me for being unable to meet Master Ran."

"Drunk? Do you know why your patriarch is depressed?" Ran Hai asked suspiciously.

"This..." The sergeant looked at Ran Hai as if he was hesitant to say something, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Ran Hai immediately understood. Ran Hai actually knew that even without asking, Ha Qishan was unhappy because of the sudden withdrawal of troops in southern Xinjiang and the peace talks between the two countries. But at the same time, no matter what he said, he was an important minister of Zhaoxuan Kingdom I'm afraid it's because I'm from Zhaoxuan, so Ha Qishan didn't want to see him, and even the sergeant in front of me didn't dare to explain to himself why Ha Qishan didn't see him, so this shows that Ha Qishan didn't really want to see him. He was drunk, so being drunk was just an excuse for refusing to see him.

After understanding all the reasons, Ran Hai smiled and said: "If there is a sergeant in charge, tell me again, it means that Ran Hai came here to relieve the depression in Patriarch Ha's heart, and he is a friend rather than an enemy."

"This" sergeant couldn't make up his mind for a while, he didn't dare to go against Ha Qishan's intention, but he was afraid that he would miss Ha Qishan's affairs, so he hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Ran Hai smiled slightly, took out a bank note from his bosom, stuffed it into the sergeant's hand, and said, "Please tell me again, if Patriarch Ha still doesn't want to see me, Ran Hai will leave immediately and won't bother you anymore."

The sergeant was a little hesitant at first, but now he looked at the number on the bank note in his hand, his eyeballs almost popped out, and quickly put the bank note away and said to the person: "Okay, then I will pass it on again, if the patriarch If I still don’t want to see you, there’s nothing I can do.”

"Okay, I'm sorry." Ran Hai clasped his fists and said to the sergeant.

The sergeant nodded, and quickly turned around and ran towards the camp. While running, his heart was pounding. It wasn't because he was afraid that Ha Qishan would scold him, so his heart was pounding. The number on his bank note, so he was a little excited.

The number above is enough for him to live his life without any worries, even if he is punished by Ha Qishan for this, it is worth it.

Ran Hai's guess was correct, Ha Qishan was indeed not drunk at this time, but he was really drinking, and he was still drinking that kind of strong wine. If he drank for a while longer, he might become really drunk up.

When I heard that Ying Keqing ordered the withdrawal of the army and planned to marry the two countries, Ha Qishan was really shocked. Even when Ying Keqing and Ye Junyan held the wedding, Ha Qishan only sent people to participate, and he was not there.Later, when he heard that he was not a big leader at all, Ha Qishan thought that the marriage between the two countries should be over, but after listening to his subordinates what happened next, Ha Qishan suddenly felt that the world was gloomy again.

Although Gu Xinning is no longer the big leader, she has become a saint again, and the relationship between the two countries seems to be getting closer. After hearing the news, Ha Qishan became more depressed, drunk every day, and ignored any common things. .

Just now a sergeant reported that there was a man named Ran outside who heard that he was an important minister of Zhaoxuan Kingdom and wanted to see him and said that he had something to discuss with him. Ha Qishan thought he was here to help Gu Xinning as a lobbyist, so he pretended to call him The excuse of being drunk and refusing to see the other party, Ha Qishan continued, and started to drink heavily, just wanting to get really drunk as soon as possible, so that he can ignore other troublesome things.

But things went against our wishes, just when Ha Qishan was about to get drunk, he saw the soldier who had just sent the message walk in again.

Before the soldier could speak, Ha Qishan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

The soldier bowed and said, "To the patriarch, the man outside didn't want to leave, and he asked the younger one to tell the patriarch that he came here to relieve the troubles in the patriarch's heart."

"Oh? Relieve the troubles in my heart? You just said that person's surname is Ran?" Ha Qishan asked suspiciously.

The sergeant quickly replied, "Report to the patriarch, that's what he said."

Ha Qishan frowned and thought about it again, as if he suddenly remembered something?He thought to himself: "Surnamed Ran? Ran Hai? Is that the one who was with Mo Luotang before? The prime minister of Zhaoxuan Kingdom? I have nothing to do with him. What can he do if he comes to me?"

With doubts in his heart, he asked the sergeant: "Is he called Ran Hai? And he is the prime minister of Zhaoxuan Kingdom?"

The sergeant returned and said: "Qi reported to the patriarch that it was not wrong to call Ran Hai, but according to what he said, he is no longer the prime minister, and seems to have been demoted to the fourth rank."

"It really is him. In the past, this person was in collusion with Mo Luotang. Now that Mo Luotang is dead, I am afraid that Ran Hai will not be so kind when he comes to me. However, he said that he can relieve my depression. I wonder if it is true or not? It’s okay to let him in and listen to what he has to say, or throw him out of the camp later.”

Ha Qishan thought of this, so he raised his head and said to the sergeant: "Okay, you go and bring him in!"

"Yes." After receiving the order, the sergeant hurriedly turned around and went out to bring Ran Hai in.
