Chapter 794: You can do anything in order to survive
The northern land is vast and full of snow.
Su Lu stood in the nest, looking at the falling snowflakes from the sky, frowning.
This place is thousands of miles away from the Slavic Principality in the North. It is one of the closest places to the Slavic Principality. You can reach the Slavic territory by crossing the vast snowfield.
If it is a hot June, there may be no snowfields, and you can go to the Slavic Principality.
According to the prisoner's account, there were many Slavs who crossed the snowfields to the Han Kingdom, but he could not explain the number in Chinese. He could only say that there were many, which was more than the current Han army and Slavic prisoners combined.
All major military towns in the North have sent out guards to warn them, ordering them to strengthen their defenses and search for possible aliens.
The people from the Six Sects have also arrived at the military towns in the North. They will clarify the various martial arts sects, big sects and small sects, and negotiate carefully, especially those underworld sects with disgraceful histories, such as Heimu Ya and Shenlong Sect.
All should be screened carefully.
"Your Majesty, the prisoner told me that we caught a big fish this time."
The guards wrapped in big fur robes lay on the ground and reported to Su Lu.
Two guards escorted Shevchenko over and into the den.
Shevchenko's body was wrapped in thick bandages, and his face looked ugly.
During the war, he originally wanted to die together with the Han army, but there was a general of the Han army who was too good at martial arts and cut him apart with a single blow, and was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
When he woke up, his body was already wrapped in thick gauze and he was captured.
Shevchenko mingled among the prisoners for a few days. He really couldn't stand being forced to pick up coal every day. If he didn't pick up enough, he would starve. If he made a few noises, he would be whipped.
In a fit of rage, he confessed himself.
After entering the den and looking at the familiar stove inside, Shevchenko's eyes were a little moist. These were the things he enjoyed before, but now they have fallen into the hands of the Han army.
If I hadn't come to this sleepy country of Han, how could I have ended up in such a life? I would be really stupid.
A cup of steaming tea was pushed in front of him. In the midst of the scent of tea, the Han general sitting opposite said equally warmly:
"Try our tea from Han."
Shevchenko sat down on the bench, picked up the teacup unceremoniously, and took a sip.
"Yes, it's good tea."
Su Lu took the teapot and refilled the tea cup with a gentle tone:
"I heard that you are a Slavic noble?"
Shevchenko said carelessly:
"Yes, the eldest son of the count family of the Slavic Principality."
"impossible?"
Through the curling water vapor, Su Lu looked at Shevchenko with a playful smile on his face.
Shevchenko's face turned red and his tone was annoyed:
"Why is it impossible? My Tulip family...forget it, why am I telling you this!"
"I was caught by you, I hope you can give me the dignity of a count."
Su Lu shook his head:
"This is the Han Kingdom. You are invaders. You will only die. People of no value have no need to exist."
"I know a lot of information."
Shevchenko was a little anxious, fearing that Su Lu would really kill him. He was not afraid of death, but if he really died, all the sufferings he had suffered, those who had helped him, and his mother clan would all lose hope.
Already.
Su Lu put down the dark teapot and said with a smile:
"Why should I know your information?"
Shevchenko was stunned. Yes, the Han general was right. Why did he need to know his own information? This place is thousands of miles away from the principality. Knowing that information did not seem to bring him any benefit.
"I can be your internal correspondent for the Han Kingdom."
Shevchenko considered his tone, thinking about how he could seduce the general.
There must be spies between countries. The principality has spies in the Han State. The Han State must also want to plant spies in the principality. This is its own opportunity.
"I come from an earl family, and I am the eldest son who is not in power. My mother's family has declined. If I want to ascend to the position of earl, I must have external support. You can use these to control me."
"If I ascend to the position of earl, I will be an important minister of the principality. It will be much more convenient for you to have high-level internal agents in the principality to deliver news and stir up trouble."
Su Lu shook his head when he heard this:
"It's unreliable. Firstly, you are not completely sure of getting into a high position. Secondly, you are a Slav, not of my race, so your heart must be different. I can't trust you."
Shevchenko sneered:
"What the general said is wrong. As long as the interests are sufficient, ethnic groups cannot become a barrier. I am willing to give my utmost sincerity in order to survive."
Su Lu ordered:
"Come here, pass on my military order to transfer Andre from the capital and let him test the merits of this earl's eldest son."
"Andre?"
Shevchenko was a little surprised and looked at Su Lu:
"You caught Andre too. How is that possible? Our intelligence network is still intact. There is no way Andre could rebel!"
Su Lu ignored him and ordered the guards to take Shevchenko down.
Although Su Lu wanted to know about the Slavs' internal operations in Han through Shevchenko's mouth, judging from his appearance, he probably didn't know.
The days in the cold winter passed quickly. Su Lu only slept a few times, and Andre followed Yang Yi here.
In the heated den, Andre untied his big fur robe and saluted Su Lu respectfully.
Yang Yi reported on what the Dingxiang Guards had done in the North these days, how many Slavs they had captured, and how many suspicious sects they had investigated.
Su Lu listened for a while and then asked:
"Andrei, how much do you know about the Tulip family? Do you understand this Shevchenko?"
Andre's body bent slightly:
"Back to your lord, the Tulip family is a famous family in the Slavic Principality. The head of the Tulip family is a powerful earl. Every head of the family will serve as the Minister of Commerce of the Empire."
"Shevchenko is the eldest son of the head of the Tulip family, but his mother's family is involved in the affairs of the Varya family and cannot provide him with help. Coupled with the slander of his stepmother and the persecution of his half-brother, he is now in a very difficult situation.
Danger."
Su Lu nodded, and it was similar to what Shevchenko said. It seemed that Shevchenko could use it.
Andre slept tightly. Seeing the change in Su Lu's expression, he immediately thought of several possibilities and said accordingly:
"Your Majesty, among the major families in the empire, the ones most likely to be used by our country of Han are Shevchenko from the Tulip family and Seryosha from the Thorn family."
"This Shevchenko is the most suitable. He is on the verge of being abandoned. If we help him ascend to the throne of commerce minister, it will be much easier to control him."
Su Lu glanced at Andre.
Andre immediately shut his mouth knowingly, he said a little too much.
Since the last time he experienced death, Andre's temperament has completely changed. Now he has become slick, cunning, and insidious. In order to survive, he will sell any information.
As long as he can survive, Andre feels there is nothing he cannot sell.
