Wei Zong actually smiled, and the next moment, he slowly put down the long sword in his hand, then looked at Ruyan indifferently, and said: "Of course I don't want to stay among the quicksand thieves all my life, but apart from the quicksand thieves,
I have nowhere else to go."
Hearing what Wei Zong said, Ruyan's eyes instantly shone with light. She knew that she had already succeeded half the battle. At least, now that Wei Zong had been persuaded by her, she no longer had to worry about her life.
However, just half of the success is not enough, the other half is also needed.
So, at this time, Ruyan looked at Wei Zong confidently: "Wei Zong, if you want to escape from the Quicksand Bandits, I just have a good place here."
"oh?"
Wei Zong's eyes flashed, and he knew that the topic was about to come.
In fact, for Wei Zong, the Quicksand Pirates were originally a springboard, a less important springboard. Wei Zong's purpose had always been the imperial court.
Because he vaguely felt that the truth of the world might be hidden in this court.
The reason why he didn't kill Ruyan before was because he felt that Ruyan looked very much like a member of the imperial court, so everything before that, he was waiting for Ruyan to reveal his identity and then recruit himself into the gang.
At this time, just as Wei Zong expected, Ruyan looked at Wei Zong and said seriously: "Wei Zong, I won't hide it from you. I am not a quicksand thief myself, but an agent of the Imperial Secret Service.
Moreover, among these quicksand thieves, I am not the only spy, Mr. Wei is actually just like me."
"oh?"
There is actually Weiqi. This guy is so well hidden that he didn't even notice it before.
Not to mention this guy Di Xingwen, it seems... even if he lets himself get rid of Ruyan, it will probably be useless. If this guy brings Wei Qi into Kyoto, his position may be exposed.
At this time, Wei Zong looked at Ruyan and asked calmly: "The Secret Agent Department is the place you said was a good place?"
"yes!"
Ruyan said calmly: "Weizong, you may not know the importance of the Secret Agents Department. To tell you the truth, the Secret Agents Department does not belong to other departments. It is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and has the ability to supervise all officials.
Those who can enter the Secret Agents Department are all good among the best. Even I and Mr. Wei can only be regarded as average in the Secret Agents Department, so... they were only sent to Di Xingwen's side.
.
In fact, our Secret Service did not pay much attention to him at the beginning. After all, the Quicksand Bandits are just like that. Among the bandits, they are not big or small. The main one is Di Xingwen, who is very skilled in martial arts and needs some attention."
After a pause, Ruyan continued: "Originally, we were monitoring Di Xingwen's every move normally, and the Secret Service did not pay too much attention to us.
But later, what I didn't expect was that Di Xingwen was so crazy and actually stole the thing from the court. Now, His Majesty was furious.
As a result, the Secret Service also thought of our line again, paid great attention to us, and contacted us to report Di Xingwen's every move."
"But it's not that Di Xingwen has become frightened after stealing that thing. He even... we don't believe it at all. Every time he wants to do something, he doesn't tell us at all.
Even the direction of the team's advance is not told to us at all. In order to deliberately disturb the line of sight, he often suddenly changes direction when he reaches a certain place, or even goes back the same way, just wandering in circles like this, even if there is
We reported the route, but the imperial team still couldn't catch up."
Having said this, Ruyan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that from that time on, he had already noticed something was wrong with me, and started to be wary of me. I just don't know why he didn't take action at that time, but waited until now.
.”
At this time, after hearing Ruyan say so much, Wei Zong was still very surprised. There was one thing that he had always kept in his mind but did not understand.
"What exactly is that thing you are talking about?"
"This...I don't know either. I just know that this thing is very important to Your Majesty."
There was a trace of fear on Ruyan's face, and she said calmly: "At that time, because this thing was stolen, several spies from our Secret Service were directly executed by Your Majesty because of poor guarding. Your Majesty... It is said that he was extremely angry at that time, and everyone in the imperial court
, everyone trembles."
"Is it so serious?"
Wei Zong frowned.
In this case, this thing may be related to the truth of this world.
If he had known this earlier, he should have taken the initiative and snatched this thing from Di Xingwen.
But this is not good either...
Will scare off the grass and scare the snake.
It is not conducive to subsequent development.
After Wei Zong thought about it, he still felt that the current situation was the best. Everything was developing according to the route he had planned, and there was not much deviation.
At this time, Wei Zong looked at Ruyan and said: "Then aren't you in danger? His Majesty is so angry, and you are the spy beside Di Xingwen, but you haven't provided much useful information. In this way, His Majesty said
It might be bad for your family!"
At this time, Ruyan shook her head and said expressionlessly: "I am an orphan, so I have no family to speak of.
On the other hand, Mr. Wei, due to poor performance, several of his brothers have been thrown into prison. If we continue to be unable to provide enough information and catch Di Xingwen, several of his brothers may be executed.
"
Hearing this, Wei Zong shook his head secretly. What the emperor did was a bit stupid.
If he forced his men like this, he wouldn't be afraid of them breaking the rules, so he might as well join in with Di Xingwen?
As a result, they may never get back what they have in their hands.
However, Wei Zong was not the emperor after all, and I don’t know what he really thought.
It's hard to say whether he is really stupid or just a little dizzy from anger.
However, after hearing Ruyan's words, Wei Zong showed a mocking smile: "The emperor is so ruthless in his actions, and you still told me that the Secret Service is a good place to go?"
"Although His Majesty's behavior is indeed a bit...different from ordinary people, the Secret Service is indeed a good place to go.
After all, if it weren't for that thing being too important, His Majesty would still be very kind to us people. Whether it is salary or position, he must be above the officials of the same level.
Moreover, even officials who are several levels higher than us are respectful when they see us and do not dare to offend us at all!"
