Chapter 1623 Are You Trying to Get some Information?
The Imperial Master was silent for a moment, and with the rustling sound of raindrops hitting the leaves, he said after a while: "My affairs with the Six Kings are private affairs, and it was indeed King Rujiang who rescued me from prison."
"Was it also the Imperial Master's idea to lead that Governor Rong to Liangjiang?"
The Imperial Master shamelessly answered: "Yes."
Prince Lin had a plan in mind and laughed: "Rumors about the treasure site are spreading in the capital. I know that all forces must want to get a piece of the pie, but what I didn't expect was that King Rujiang had the ability to recruit the Imperial Master. Finding treasure is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I have exhausted all my manpower and resources, but I have only found it occasionally. Now, with the help of the national teacher, King Rujiang has become even more powerful. He has caught up with the king so quickly and chased to Liangjiang. National teacher, you can count with your fingers, and you have the ability of a god. How can you be willing to be next to a small king of a different surname and work like a cow and a horse for him? Don’t you think this is too much of a sacrifice for you? "
The national teacher looked at Prince Lin cleverly and slowly raised his eyebrows: "Then Prince Lin thinks that who I serve is not a concession?"
At this point, Prince Lin did not express his opinion. He heard the restlessness hidden in the national teacher's rhetorical question. He thought that the national teacher was indeed unwilling, but he had no choice. King Rujiang saved him, and he could only repay his kindness. But now it is different. I am willing to extend an olive branch to him, and anyone with a brain should grab it.
Interestingly, before my olive branch was extended, the national teacher already had the desire to grab it. Since the other party was so impatient, I should not be impatient.
Prince Lin calmed down. After all, he was a superior who grew up in a circle of conspiracy. He was not afraid of negotiating with others, but was afraid that the other party would not accept the challenge. Now that the national teacher accepted the challenge, then in the case of a man in love and a concubine in love, it would be beneficial for him to take advantage of it.
"How did the national teacher find out about Liangjiang?"
He spent a huge amount of money, worked hard, and sent people from all sides to try their best to track down. It took a year, and finally found clues in Zhenyang State. However, the national teacher was imprisoned for a whole year and was only rescued by Prince Rujiang two months ago. In just these two months, Prince Rujiang has tracked down Liangjiang, so he is very curious, how did the national teacher do it, what means did he use?
The Imperial Master naturally heard the temptation behind Prince Lin's words. He sneered, still with that cold and icy immortal look, and then lied shamelessly: "The Dragon King appeared in the dream."
Prince Lin was stunned: "What king?"
"Water Dragon King." The Imperial Master said, looking up at the sky in front of him, and his voice was ethereal: "Prince Lin should have seen the ancient old book about the treasure. I have also seen it. The night I saw it, I had a dream. In the dream, the Dragon King appeared and guided me in the direction."
Prince Lin fell silent.
The Imperial Master knew from his expression that he didn't believe it. He continued coldly: "The Water Dragon King said that there was a huge town that crushed his Dragon Palace. He needed someone to move the huge town away for him. He wanted to rebuild the Dragon King Palace."
Prince Lin's eyes finally moved at this time, and he was half-believing and half-doubting: "Dajiang County?"
Prince Lin knew Dajiang County, so the purpose of his wandering on the sea was indeed Dajiang County.
The Imperial Master suppressed his emotions and shook his head, saying, "The Dragon King did not say it, but the giant town that sank above the two rivers should not be anything other than Dajiang County."
Prince Lin did not say anything. He was still hesitating. He did not quite believe the Imperial Master's supernatural statement, but he could not find a reason to refute it. He recruited the Imperial Master because he saw his special ability to communicate with gods, but now that the Imperial Master really told him that there are gods in this world, he found it unbelievable.
The complicated mood lasted for a long time, and Prince Lin finally asked the last question: "Does the Imperial Master know the specific location of Dajiang County now?"
The Imperial Master nodded.
Prince Lin's eyes widened in disbelief: "You know? Really?"
The Imperial Master smiled: "I had a second dream, on the night I landed on the island."
Prince Lin was very excited: "Where?"
The Imperial Master glanced at him coldly: "My Lord, are you trying to trick me?"
Prince Lin clenched his fists, looked at the Imperial Master, and then lowered his head to think. After a while, he raised his head and promised: "30%, as long as the Imperial Master helps me find the treasure, I am willing to share 30% of the treasures to honor the Imperial Master."
The Imperial Master thought critically.
Prince Lin hurriedly said: "Even if the Imperial Master is the only one who knows the location of the treasure, can the Imperial Master swallow this huge wealth with his own strength? Of course, you have cooperated with King Rujiang, but can King Rujiang take out 30% of the bonus? Imperial Master, I am much more generous than that foreign king who came from a remote place, you have to think carefully."
Prince Lin is very good at using both kindness and force.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, the Imperial Master agreed.
The business was settled, and both parties breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Lin and the Imperial Master agreed to wait until the rain stopped, and then go out to sea together and head straight for the treasure.
The Imperial Master agreed on the surface, but he also tried to probe inconspicuously: "Looking at the capital, there are many powerful people, but only the prince found the clues and came to Liangjiang. The prince's ability also makes me look at him with new eyes."
Prince Lin laughed. As his magic weapon at the bottom of the box, he would not easily publicize it, so he just said modestly: "I just have a few useful people under my command."
The Imperial Master saw that he was trying to hide something, so he probably wouldn't say it so easily. He was disappointed, but Liu Wei had completed half of his mission, at least he had penetrated into Prince Lin's inner circle, so even if he couldn't solve the problem once and for all tonight, it was a good start.
It was getting late, and the two agreed on a cooperation plan and parted ways. The Imperial Master said that he didn't intend to break up with Prince Rujiang's people at the moment, and Prince Lin also understood that he didn't want to cause trouble before the treasure was in his hands.
The Imperial Master left the back mountain first, and when he was sure that he had completely left, Prince Lin waved his hand and called out the subordinates who were hiding around him.
The rain was much heavier at this time, but with the big trees blocking it, Prince Lin didn't feel much. He was busy instructing his subordinates, so he didn't pay attention to the lightning flashing across the sky.
...
Prince Lin was struck by lightning, and Liu Wei heard about it when he woke up the next morning.
Last night, the Imperial Master went out to meet with Prince Lin. When he came back, it was already very late. Liu Wei was asleep at that time, and the Imperial Master did not wake her up. He wanted to talk about it the next morning, but when the sun rose, everyone heard the gossip about Prince Lin first.
When Liu Wei got up to wash, the islanders living next door had been gossiping for a while.
Liu Wei listened to it for a while, and asked in surprise after returning to the house: "Why was he struck by lightning?"
The Imperial Master was also suspicious. When he left, Prince Lin was still fine.
