Long Chen sneered and said: "The Holy One appointed me as Minister of War in Daming Palace in front of hundreds of civil and military officials."
"How dare you not see me? You are clearly rebelling against the order!"
The minister, Wang Wei, cursed: "Even if I don't see you because of illness, you shouldn't break into the mansion privately and humiliate me in public!"
Long Chen sneered and said: "Public humiliation? I'm being polite by not cutting off your dog's head!"
Long Chen wanted to say that he was being polite by not asking Wang Wei to do the same as Bai Qiulian, but Bai Tingting was here and it was not good to say it out loud.
"I won't give you any nonsense, I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Wang Wei was embarrassed in front of everyone in the Ministry of War, his face turned red and his neck was thick with embarrassment. He couldn't defeat Long Chen, so he turned around and wanted to go to the palace to complain to the Holy Spirit.
How could Long Chen let him go?
With a wave of their hands, Wu Jian and Zhang Qian blocked Wang Wei's path.
"What do you want to do? Kill me if you dare!"
Wang Wei said angrily.
Long Chen waved his hand and said: "All of you, get down!"
All the officials wanted to stay away from this place, so they turned around and slipped out of the main hall.
Long Chen, Zhang Qian, Wu Jian, Wang Wei and Bai Tingting were left in the hall.
"You go down too."
Long Chen said to Bai Tingting.
"Why?"
Bai Tingting felt that she had slept with Long Chen and had a very close relationship. If Zhang Qian and Wu Jian didn't leave, she wouldn't leave either.
Long Chen said: "Go outside and watch, don't let anyone come in."
If you drive him away directly, Bai Tingting will definitely not do it, so I will arrange an errand for her.
Bai Tingting then went outside to look out.
Wang Wei glared at Long Chen angrily and cursed: "Leave me alone? Interesting, what can you do? Kill me?"
Long Chen waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Qian and Wu Jian to go out as well.
Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and then went out.
Everyone left, only Long Chen and Wang Wei were left.
"Shilang Wang, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
Long Chen said with a smile.
Wang Wei thought that Long Chen had given in, and immediately straightened his back and said with a cold smile: "Long Chengen, I know you are powerful, but you must also know your own limits and don't go too far!"
"Don't think about today's matters privately. I must ask the Holy Father for an explanation. After all, I am the minister of the Ministry of War. If you show off in public, I will lose my face!"
The more Wang Wei talked, the angrier he became. He turned around and went out to face the saint.
Long Chen sneered from behind and said: "If you were the Minister of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course I wouldn't dare to do this, but you are a spy of Nanliang. Even if I kill you, I will still be killing the enemy and doing meritorious service!"
Wang Wei's heart trembled suddenly, the hot sweat on his body suddenly turned into cold sweat, and his legs froze on the ground.
Many thoughts ran through Wang Wei's mind instantly: Is he blackmailing? Does he really know? Who leaked it? What went wrong?
"Long Chengen, how dare you slander me!"
"I will tell you before the Holy Spirit!"
Regardless of whether Long Chen discovered it or not, Wang Wei couldn't recognize it at this time, and he had to go to the palace to face the saint.
If Long Chen is blackmailing, Wang Wei can go to the palace to face the sage and sue Long Chen.
If Long Chen really knew, he would leave here even more.
Wang Wei walked out quickly, but Long Chen stepped out of the way and blocked the way. He pinched Wang Wei's neck with one hand and lifted him directly into the back room.
After closing the door, Long Chen threw Wang Wei on the ground and said with a smile: "Wang Wei, do you think I am blackmailing you?"
Long Chen threw the secret message intercepted by Feng He in his face.
The moment he saw the secret letter, Wang Wei's body stiffened, then relaxed, and he let out a long breath.
"More than thirty years later, it was still discovered."
Wang Wei no longer struggled, but became very calm.
Getting up from the ground, Wang Wei sat on a stool, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of cold tea, took a sip, shook his head, and put the tea cup down.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Wang Wei pointed to the stool next to him and motioned for Long Chen to sit down and talk.
Long Chen no longer used any drastic measures, he lifted the coal stove in the corner and placed the kettle on it to boil water.
"Do you still remember what Nanliang's hometown looks like?"
Long Chen said something casually as if he were chatting with others.
Wang Wei smiled and asked: "What about you? Do you still remember what your hometown in Nanliang looks like?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Remember, the Apricot Blossom Spring Rain and the Black Canopy Boat."
Wang Wei was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you doing here, Master Long? Looking for wealth?"
Wang Wei doubted Long Chen's identity, which was normal, and Long Chen was not surprised.
"I was sent to Dazhou when I was five years old, leaving my parents' hometown and becoming a spy. I pretended to make friends with the people around me, but I knew in my heart that if there was a mission, everyone around me could be killed at any time. This feeling...
"
Long Chen looked at Wang Wei and shook his head helplessly.
Wang Wei laughed and said: "What does Master Long want to know from me?"
Long Chen smiled and said, "You won't tell me even if I ask."
The coal stove was very bright and the water was boiling. Long Chen picked it up and made another pot of tea.
Two glasses were poured, one for each person, and Long Chen took a sip first.
"I won't say any more. You have gone from being a helpless child to being the minister of the Ministry of War in the past ten years. I don't need to tell you how difficult this journey has been."
"Now you have a mother-in-law, a concubine, and children, and the mansion is fully equipped with carriages, horses, and servants."
"If your identity as a spy is exposed, all this will be in vain, and your more than thirty years of hard work will be in vain."
"I will give you a path, become my spy, and I will give you the position of Minister of War."
"You can always have all of this and more!"
"That's what I say, it's your choice!"
Long Chen directly showed his cards.
Wang Wei can be the Minister of War, he has both IQ and courage, so there is no need for gibberish.
Wang Wei's expression remained unchanged, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"As a spy for you, Li Chengdao won't let me go, and I will die anyway."
"Do you know how many people from the Imperial City Division are around me?"
For such an important spy as Wang Wei, there must be spies keeping an eye on him.
If something goes wrong with Wang Wei and he passes false information to Li Chengdao, the consequences will be disastrous.
Long Chen put down the teacup and said coldly: "Three of them, one is your concubine Fengzhu, the other is your groom Wang Mazi, and the last one is your boss Fang Yu."
These things were all discovered by Feng He.
Wang Wei was stunned. He didn't expect that Long Chen could really find out.
"If I ask you to cooperate with me, I can naturally keep you safe."
"You must also know about my stay in Qianjiang County."
"Both the secret guards and the Imperial City Division want my life, what will be the final result?"
Long Chen gave Wang Wei a cup of tea.
Wang Wei picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Aren't you afraid of any flaws?"
Wang Wei was moved.
If he could ensure his own safety and continue to enjoy glory and wealth, he would never choose death.
He worked hard to get to where he is now, but he couldn't bear it.
When I was a child, I had no food to eat. I fell asleep thinking about rice at night. I woke up hungry in my dream. I climbed into my parents’ bed and wanted to order something to eat, but I found that my parents were starving to death.
His childhood memories gave him a deep fear of hunger and poverty.
He wants glory, wealth, and good food and clothing.
"There will be no flaws in what I do!"
Long Chen said very confidently.
"How to choose?"
Long Chen said calmly that he would not urge it, this kind of thing must be done voluntarily.
