Long Chen was sitting on the kang, wrapped in a quilt and leaning against the wall.
There is a table in the middle with pine nuts on it. Di Luoxi is sitting opposite, Xuan Yi and Qing Yue are on both sides, and Zhang Qian is sitting next to it.
"Xiao Longlong, you have to make your status clear. You are my princess's eunuch. Don't challenge me. Do you understand?"
Di Luoxi had a sneer on her lips and looked at Long Chen with her eyes.
Just now, the four of them stripped Long Chen naked and took his clothes to be washed, so Long Chen could only wrap himself in a quilt.
"These female Bodhisattvas have also taken off their clothes. Can they talk properly?"
Long Chen was helpless. His cultivation was still at the peak of a king. Di Luoxi was at the Martial Emperor realm, and the other three were at the realm of kings. With one against four, they were too weak to handle, and they were suppressed just now.
Xuan Yi chuckled and said, "Elder Tang, it's obvious that you didn't speak properly and angered the princess."
When Long Chen had nothing to do, he told them the story of "Journey to the West", so they knew about Tang Monk.
Qingyue echoed: "That's right, talk to the princess properly, otherwise you will suffer in the future."
Long Chen thought to himself: Why are you pretending? When you are in the bathroom, who is not a kitten crawling at your feet?
"As you say, I have always been a good eunuch for the princess, right."
A good man doesn't want to suffer immediate losses, so Long Chen will first appease Di Luoxi.
Di Luoxi ate pine nuts and nodded with satisfaction: "Be good, tell me what you said to that Feng He today."
Long Chen cleared his throat and pointed to the tea cup on the table.
Zhang Qian immediately poured a cup of tea for Long Chen, and then gave it to Long Chen to drink.
"Feng He went from Nanliang to Eastern Zhou Dynasty"
Long Chen explained the meeting in detail.
Of course, Long Chen only said what he could. As for Feng He saying that Long Chen's ambition lies in the world, he didn't say that.
Di Luoxi had a pine nut in her mouth. After listening, she opened it with a click and took the pine nut kernel into her mouth. The pine nut shell was thrown into the trash can nearby.
"Does he have enough evidence? What evidence?"
Di Luoxi was a little happy, the more evidence the better, but she also doubted the authenticity of Feng He's words.
"He didn't say it. He used the evidence as a bargaining chip. I wouldn't tell him even if I asked."
Long Chen didn't ask at that time because Feng He couldn't tell.
Zhang Qian asked suspiciously: "Do you believe him? What if he was sent by Li Chengdao?"
Long Chen said: "There is such a possibility, I don't trust him, as long as he is useful to us, we are just using each other."
The meeting between Feng Huan and Long Chen was not just to defraud some money, there should be real evidence.
As long as it's useful to you, that's fine.
As for trust, Feng He was unwilling to use his mother as a hostage, and Long Chen would not trust him.
Qingyue said: "I think this Feng He can do it, he has a bottom line."
Feng He's bottom line is filial piety to his mother.
"Yes, as a professional spy, it is not easy to have such filial piety. It is because of this that I chose to cooperate with him."
Long Chen repeatedly asked to take his mother as a hostage, but Feng He never agreed.
Because of this, Feng He can be trusted by those who have a bottom line.
If Feng He finally gave in and sent his mother to the palace as a hostage, Long Chen would kill Feng He immediately.
A person who can give up even his biological mother is not worthy of trust and does not deserve to live.
"So, you still have some trust in Feng He."
Di Luoxi said calmly.
Long Chen nodded: "There is a little trust as the basis, but I value his ability more. If he can join, we can build a huge spy system and collect intelligence from all over the world."
"Of course, this requires a lot of money, and we happen to be not short of money."
Long Chen only said that he liked Feng He's ability, but did not say that Feng He was willing to be loyal.
Di Luoxi shook her head and said: "No, if you can't completely trust it, you absolutely can't use it. The spy power cannot be controlled at all."
Di Luoxi knew very well how troublesome it would be to have uncontrolled power lurking in the dark, as was the case with the secret guards in Jing Tianlie's hands.
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's just an idea. We'll talk about the specific things later. If Feng He can be trusted, then consider it. If he can't be trusted, then let's not talk about it."
The most difficult thing between people is trust. Betrayal is human nature, because everyone will choose their own interests, and selfishness is normal.
Selling teammates is a shortcut to making a profit, and stepping on the corpses of teammates is the fastest way to go up.
Therefore, after thousands of years, blood relatives are still the strongest bond. Brothers fight with each other, and father and son fight in battle.
Di Luoxi chewed the pine nuts, looked at the teacup on the table, and said: "In Shui Han's case, Bai Qiulian was at the front, but Jing Tianlie remained silent. This is not normal."
Qingyue said disdainfully: "Bai Qiulian is just trying to curry favor with you, this bitch is really shameless."
Long Chen said: "Bai Qiulian was originally supported by Jingtian Lie, and she likes Jingtian Lie, so it's normal for her to rush ahead."
"However, I don't think Jing Tianlie will always be behind the scenes. When he returns to the capital, he will definitely take action."
Di Luoxi said worriedly: "Feng He is right. If Jing Tianlie denies it, there is really nothing we can do against him."
Long Chen said: "It's okay, we don't plan to uproot the Jing family at once. No matter what happens, the Jing family will be deeply affected."
Freezing three feet doesn't happen in a day, nor does thawing happen overnight, you have to take your time.
Di Luoxi looked out the window, the snow was falling heavily.
"Okay, you three keep an eye on him and don't let him run out alone again."
Di Luoxi put on her shoes and opened the door to go back to the west palace bedroom.
Qiuxing Hall and West Palace are separated by a wall and can be reached in just a few steps.
After Di Luoxi left, Long Chen looked at Zhang Qian and the others coldly, and said in a lewd tone: "Three female Bodhisattvas, you just acted as an accomplice, how should we settle this debt?"
Zhang Qian helped Long Chen bring the clothes over with a smile and said: "Sir, there is nothing we can do about the princess's order. It is all a joke."
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue also smiled and said: "Why should you take it so seriously, sir? We just took off your clothes. You usually take off our clothes."
"We are even, please don't be angry, sir."
Long Chen came out of the bed, first held down Qingyue, and scolded with a smile: "Little Hoof, you were the most energetic just now, so let's start with you."
Sounds of begging for mercy could be heard in the room.
Yingfeng quickly walked into the bedroom of Fengming Palace, where the empress was reading a memorial.
These memorials were submitted by ordinary people. The handwriting is crooked and there are even typos.
The empress has issued a decree, and if the people have any grievances, they can report it directly, and local officials cannot stop them.
"Zhenhai County said that the pirate attacks were serious and the local officials failed to resist. They asked the governor to investigate and find out what happened."
The empress was very angry. She was most concerned about how the people lived. Officials who did not do anything like this would basically be beheaded once found out.
The female officer next to me immediately took note of it.
Yingfeng came in and the female officer next to her stepped back.
"Long Chengen just left the palace and went to the fish restaurant. He met Feng He. The two talked secretly for a long time. Long Chengen gave him a bag of gold cakes."
Shadow Phoenix is in charge of a team of spies called Shadow Guards.
The shadow guard has been monitoring Long Chen, and of course he also has the intention of protecting him.
"What did you say?"
The empress put down her brush and asked with interest.
