Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 474 Old Demon Yu's Grandson

"what news?"

"About Yufeng's plan to retaliate against the prince and Da Song."

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, staring into the eyes of the man in white.

The white-clothed man took it for granted, but he was actually the top figure among the younger generation in the world, so facing Ye Chen's current power, he was actually able to be so calm.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Top secret!"

All the assassins, spies and Huaxia Wei in the Zu Xuetang stood up silently and walked out of the gate of the Zu Xuetang. Only Lian Jicheng and Hu Sanguang stayed behind under Ye Chen's signal. The meaning of the word 'top secret', according to the secrecy regulations of the Huaxia Weifu, only the deputy chief envoy and above are qualified to know.

After the room was quiet, the man in white smiled and bowed his hands and said, "The new white crow in the church greets the chief envoy in vain."

Ye Chen fell silent. The original three white crows in the temple had been famous for at least ten years, and none of them had a name or code name called Bai Qi.A cold gleam flashed in his pupils, and he asked coldly: "So now the church includes you, and there are four white crows. But as far as I know, there are only three white crows in the church." With regard to the local intelligence network, even inside the holy church, Ye Chen said this with great confidence.

The man in white said, "This subordinate is White Crow, who was just promoted last month." At first he called himself 'subordinate' in an equal tone, and later he called himself 'caomin', but now he directly called himself 'subordinate'.

Ye Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Your name is really Bai Qi."

The man in white bowed his head and was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "This subordinate's real name is Cui Xi. I was ordered by the Ninth Elder of the Master's Temple and obeyed the orders of the Second Elder. Now I am here to look for the prince by the order of the Second Elder. I changed my name to Bai Qi."

"Cui Xi..." Ye Chen asked thoughtfully, "The holy hall is inherited from the hidden veins of seven clans and five surnames in the Tang Dynasty. There are two Cui clans. Are you one of them?"

The man in white said: "This subordinate is exactly one of the Cui family's children."

Interest arose in Ye Chen's heart, and he asked again: "The two Cui clans in the holy hall are the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan. Among them, the Boling Cui clan has declined, and there is even no Boling Cui clan among the nine elders of the holy hall." The position of the family. I don’t know which Cui family you are?”

The man in white sighed slightly, and said, "This subordinate is the current patriarch of the Bolingcui clan who has fallen."

Ye Chen couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered something, took a deep look at the man in white, and said quietly: "By the way, your name is Cui Xi, and the intelligence department found out that the child's name was Cui Xi 19 years ago. I didn't expect that you were still alive and became the fourth white crow of the Holy Church."

The white-clothed man named Cui Xi said with a smile at this time: "That's why the Second Elder, Third Elder and Ninth Elder think that the prince will accept his subordinates. What's more, regardless of the background of the subordinates, from the subordinate's point of view, the subordinates This person is still somewhat useful to the prince."

At this time, Ye Chen should have asked, "Your holy hall and my Huaxia Weifu are indissoluble enemies, why did you come to vote for me?" But after knowing Cui Xi's background, Ye Chen has already understood Some things, I will never ask these again.And Cui Xi didn't take the initiative to explain.

The most important thing is that whether it is Ye Chen and Cui Xi, or the Ninth Elder and the Second Elder of the holy hall, they all know that because of Yu Daoxiang, Ye Chen will at least not kill Cui Xi, because Yu Laomo is Bo Ling. The son-in-law of the Cui family, in addition to Yu Daoxiang, the old devil Yu had a son named Cui Ping with Miss Cui's family before. 19 years ago, the old devil Yu practiced magic skills and had to reach the realm of ruthless and ruthless. , so he killed Miss Cui and his son. Fortunately, Cui Ping, who was in his 20s at the time, secretly left a son who had just turned one month outside. Now it seems that it is Cui Xi in front of Ye Chen.In other words, Cui Xi is actually the grandson of Old Devil Yu.Therefore, Yu Daoxiang is the aunt of Cui Xi's grandfather's half-milk.

Regardless of whether Yu Daoxiang met Cui Xi before or whether there was a blood relationship between the two, even now most of Yu Daoxiang still doesn't know that there is such a nephew.But after all, they are close relatives to each other.And because of Yu Daoxiang, Ye Chen would never kill Cui Xi, and for this reason, he would probably accept her.

However, since Cui Xi appeared, he did not take the initiative to disclose this relationship, and even lied about Bai Qi, deliberately concealing his identity. If Ye Chen did not take the initiative to ask, the truth would not have come to light.

These two young people have wisdom and calculations far beyond their peers, and they can see through each other's thoughts in a flash.For Ye Chen, he had long expected that the elders in the temple who were at odds with Yufeng might send someone to contact him.It's just that he didn't expect that it was a white crow who came here, and he was also Yu Daoxiang's own nephew.

It is true that the Holy Church and the Huaxia Weifu are indeed deadly enemies now, but Ye Chen knows that there has never been a permanent enemy or a permanent friend in this world, only permanent interests or common goals.What's more, Yu Daoxiang and the holy hall are still inextricably linked after all.

The Holy Church has existed for more than 100 years, and it is so powerful that it can influence the establishment or destruction of a country. Of course, it is not only the terrifying financial and material resources and master force in their hands, as well as the influence on the aristocratic family.

Those who hold the country must be cautious. For organizations like the Holy Church, this is the same reason. Under the strong pressure of the Song Dynasty court, especially the Huaxia Weifu, the Holy Church wants to survive and even steal. The fruit of Song's unification of the world must maintain close contact with the highest power class of Song, and the relationship between the Holy Church and King Zhao Guangyi of Jin developed in this way.

It's just that with the appearance of Ye Chen, especially the establishment and improvement of the Huaxia Weifu, the power structure of the Song Kingdom has gradually undergone great changes. Unknowingly, Ye Chen has already possessed the power to threaten the Holy Church. However, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi has fewer and fewer chips. In other words, in the eyes of the Holy Church, Zhao Guangyi, who is not easy to control, may be just a transition in their hands. Perhaps it is their final choice.

It is impossible to put eggs in only one basket, and the chips cannot be bet on the earth forever. It is impossible for all the girls in the family to marry into the same family. This is a matter of risk sharing.The Holy Church has been proficient in this method over the years, so naturally it will not make mistakes at this time.In fact, Cui Xi, whom the Holy Church sent to Ye Chen this time, is indeed the most suitable person for the Holy Church.

At the same time, the holy hall is still betting on Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin. The intimacy between the holy hall and the king is also unmatched by Ye Chen. Forged an inexplicable hatred with the church.

But the Holy Church still had to get in touch with Ye Chen.

If Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi falls, or their plan on Zhao Guangyi's side fails, there is no doubt that Ye Chen will become a basket for some eggs in the Holy Church.And because Ye Chen's basket is strong enough, Ye Chen will be the first choice, and at the very beginning of this choice, the Holy Church must first express enough goodwill.

All the prosperity of the world is for profit, whether it is politics, war, or shopping malls, the reason is the same, it is very strange, obviously Ye Chen and the Holy Church are still in hostility, even Ye Chen has just experienced the Holy Church The assassination of the black crow, but both sides are well aware that in addition to being hostile, they must also start tentative contact.Of course, Yufeng's revenge on Ye Chen will definitely not be less.

In the face of huge interests, any kind of hatred can be washed away. Although Ye Chen doesn't think so, most people in the temple must think so.

However, Ye Chen also knows that the holy hall and himself can only have this kind of hidden flirtation. Most of the bargaining chips on the holy hall are still on Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi's side, just as Ye Chen guessed, if The holy hall helped Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi to do that successfully. The holy hall can at least guarantee decades of safety, so there is no need to come to him.

Of course, Ye Chen also knew that the reason why this man in white named Cui Xi would come to contact him today was just to open the way in advance.

"Is this really just the meaning of the Ninth Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder, or the meaning of the entire church?" Ye Chen asked.

After thinking for a while, Cui Xi replied with a smile: "Although the Second Elder and the Third Elder did this matter secretly, and they have also obtained the consent of the Ninth Elder, but the subordinates guess that the First Elder may have known about it, or even a kind of tacit approval. However, just before As my subordinates have said, the elder's assassination or revenge against the prince will not be canceled because of this matter."

After questioning and answering, both parties became clear. This kind of contact is still not on the table. This is just a very sophisticated and prudent move by the old foxes in the temple. This move is apart from the eggs that have been said just now to be placed in two baskets. In addition to the reason for the two-handed preparation, there may be a hidden purpose of provoking the relationship between Ye Chen and the Emperor of Song Dynasty, and making the latter feel suspicious of Ye Chen.

Cui Xiwen explained: "The Holy Church and the prince are still enemies, but the subordinates are either subordinates or the attitude expressed by the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and the Ninth Elder of the Holy Church. In fact, except for the three elders in the Holy Church , Few people know about my existence, as long as the prince is willing, the subordinates will stand by the prince's side, this will never change."

"Even other members of your Cui family want to assassinate me?" Ye Chen pulled the charcoal in the basin with a fish intestine sword, and said casually: "You will stand by my side and kill all of your people!" ?”

"Yes." Cui Xi replied very seriously, without the slightest hesitation, "Anyone who is unfavorable to the prince is the enemy of the subordinate."

Ye Chen couldn't help laughing, and said with a long sigh: "These old foxes in the holy hall are really cunning."
