After washing up, Lin Ze put on a black tights. He was still young and looked particularly heroic.
Just as he stepped out of the room, someone came to report that Chen Ping asked to see him.
Lin Ze smiled when he heard this and said: "Go and tell him, I will wait for him in the living room."
…
In the living room, Chen Ping came in a hurry. When he saw Lin Ze, he bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My uncle's style is still the same, which makes Ping envious."
Lin Ze laughed and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to become more and more diplomatic. It seems that you have grown a lot during my absence."
Chen Ping laughed along with him and said, "To be honest, my uncle taught me well and gave Ping many opportunities to practice, which is why Ping has achieved what he does today."
When Lin Ze heard this, he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "In my opinion, you have the talent of a prime minister. This achievement is just a step you need to walk before ascending to the position of prime minister. You should take this as an encouragement."
Chen Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Miao, my uncle is ten times more talented than me. The position of prime minister belongs to you. I don't dare to overstep it."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "This is not my ambition, so you don't have to worry. As long as the young master succeeds to the throne, I will be fully confident in pushing you to the throne, but you should also be careful yourself."
Chen Ping bowed slightly and said, "I sincerely follow my uncle's teachings."
Lin Ze smiled brightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Has Jinyiwei's development gone smoothly?"
Chen Ping quickly replied: "According to Uncle Master's instructions, the stronghold in Chang'an City has long been completed and has now spread to other places in the pass, expanding steadily."
Lin Ze nodded slightly: "Is that difficult?"
Chen Ping sighed slightly: "The successor is weak and it is getting more and more difficult."
Lin Ze was surprised and said: "Then why? Insufficient manpower or lack of financial resources? Didn't you seek help from the young master?"
Chen Ping smiled bitterly and said: "The financial resources are sufficient. Besides, Jinyiwei relies on industry and is partly self-sufficient. Naturally, there is no need to worry too much. It's just that the manpower has always been a big problem. Even if I ask the young master to come back from
The Sirius Army has mobilized a thousand people, but it is still not enough."
Lin Ze asked back: "Didn't Jinyiwei recruit people from the private sector?"
Chen Ping paused and replied: "Jinyiwei is a secret agent organization after all. People from the private sector are a mixed bag, so they may not necessarily be used by Jinyiwei."
Lin Ze shook his head, smiled slightly and said, "That's wrong. It seems that you need to change your thinking."
After speaking, he picked up the teacup, tilted it slightly, and a few drops of water fell on the table. Lin Zecai continued: "Did you see these drops of water?"
Chen Ping looked strange and replied bravely: "My nephew saw it."
Lin Ze's anger floated, he turned his wrist, picked up the few drops of water, dropped them into the cup again, and then asked: "Can you still find those few drops of water just now?"
Chen Ping vaguely understood, but was still a little unsure, so he took the initiative and asked: "Uncle, please clear up the confusion."
Lin Ze said leisurely: "Actually, the Jin Yiwei can be divided into two parts, the ordinary people who collect intelligence, and the spies who deliver the intelligence."
"Real spies don't necessarily need to go to the scene or other people's homes to find out information. A lot of information can be left to ordinary people. What they have to do is to extract useful information from the numerous messages."
"So you can recruit some ordinary people and don't tell them about the existence of Jin Yiwei. You can only let them collect information on a daily basis. It is enough to arrange two real spies for each stronghold. In this way, the required
The manpower will be greatly reduced, what do you think?"
With Chen Ping's wisdom, he immediately figured out the matter, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Master, this plan is very clever, Ping Mao is suddenly enlightened."
Lin Ze smiled and said nothing, but changed another cup and got himself a cup of tea again, thinking to himself: There still needs to be a sense of mystery, otherwise some people may not be shocked.
After a long time, Chen Ping finally couldn't hold himself back any longer. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Uncle Master, according to the current situation, is there still hope for the young master to succeed to the throne?"
Ever since he took charge of Jinyiwei, the more Chen Ping knew, the more uneasy he felt. He felt frightened several times. Lin Ze was not around at the time, so he had to keep it in his heart. Now that Lin Ze was back, he finally couldn't help but ask.
.
Lin Ze sighed and said: "The current situation is so treacherous that no one can predict what the future will be like. All you and I can do is to secretly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity."
Lin Ze sighed secretly. Even Chen Ping could see Emperor Qin's abnormality. He didn't know how long it would take for this storm to end.
Just as the two of them fell into a silent atmosphere, a waiter came in and announced: "The banquet is about to begin. The young master invites the military advisor and Mr. Chen to sit down first."
After hearing this, Lin Ze stood up and said, "Let's go, don't keep the young master waiting for too long."
…
The waiter directly led Lin Ze to the first seat on the right under the main seat, highlighting Lin Ze's status as Hu Hai's number one subordinate.
Lin Ze knew that on such occasions, Huang Banban would serve as Hu Hai's escort and would not sit at the table, so he sat on it without hesitation.
Then two more people came in. When they saw Lin Ze, he was slightly startled, ran over, smiled heartily, and saluted: "Meet the military advisor."
It was Zhang Han and Li Xin, the "living treasures", who had probably been in the military all year round. Lin Ze looked at the two men standing upright in front of him, faintly exuding the aura of famous generals.
Lin Ze nodded with a smile: "That's right, my military advisor's teachings are not in vain. The brats in the past have gradually become generals."
Zhang Han Li Xin...your teachings? Besides beating us, what other teachings do you have?
Li Xinxin refused to accept it, rolled his eyes and said: "Military advisor, we have broken through to the fourth level of martial arts for a few months, and we are still at the middle level of the fourth level. Do you think it is a little slow? Alas, this high-level Dantian is difficult to break through.
, which is quite upsetting.”
Lin Ze couldn't help but feel happy. He used different ways to show off his martial arts skills in front of me? I didn't beat you enough when you were young, right?
Then he said seriously: "It is indeed a bit slow, but don't be discouraged. It will be even slower when you break through the fifth level of martial arts. If you don't believe me, look at me. It has been eight months since you broke through the fifth level, and you haven't reached the intermediate level of the fifth level yet. Alas!"
Fifth grade martial arts? Zhang Han and Li Xin took a deep breath, feeling a little sour in their hearts. They tried their best, but they still couldn't compare to this pervert.
Zhang Han even glared at Li Xin, "Aren't you humiliating yourself by competing with him?"
Zhang Han said sarcastically: "Military advisor, sit down slowly, I and I will take the seats first." After saying that, he dragged Li Xin away and went to his own seat.
Then brother and sister Yu Ziqi, Liu Yuchan and others arrived one after another. When they saw Lin Ze, they all went to worship and exchanged a few words.
Lin Ze was a little surprised and said, "Are all these people here together today?"
The waiter next to him replied: "Reporting to the military advisor, it is because it is approaching the end of the year and everyone has to rush back to worship their ancestors, so we are all here together."
When Lin Ze heard this, he suddenly realized that this was the case, and then he smiled bitterly to himself: It seems that he has not passed an official New Year since he came here, so no wonder he doesn't feel anything.
Suddenly there was some commotion at the door, and a fiery red figure floated in like a cloud. When the visitor met Lin Ze's gaze, he paused slightly. Then the visitor floated in front of Lin Ze, bowed and said, "Lu
The pheasant has seen the military advisor."
Lin Ze smiled calmly and said, "Miss Lu, there is no need to be polite."
Lu Pheasant stood up, with a smile as bright as a flower and said: "In the past, Lu Pheasant was ignorant and had many offences. Now he has changed his ways. I would like to act as a military advisor, and hope that the military advisor can forget the past."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "My military advisor has long forgotten about the past grudges, and there is no need for Miss Lu to mention them again. Besides, I promised my great-grandfather that I will not treat the Lu family badly. Please feel free to worry, Miss Lu."
Lu Fei covered his mouth and chuckled: "The military advisor said this, and the little girl is relieved." After speaking, he boldly took a step forward, exhaled like a blue breath and said: "Since the military advisor mentioned my great-grandfather, I don't know if my great-great-grandfather has ever mentioned marriage.
What do you think of that suggestion?”
Lin Ze was choked by Lu Zhi's sudden words. He couldn't help but cough a few times. After thinking for a while, he replied: "If the girl is interested, I will go and ask the young master what he wants later."
A hint of shyness flashed across Lu Zhi's face: "What if the little girl is the military advisor she likes?" After saying this, Lu Zhi felt his face burning.
At this moment, not far away, there is a pair of beautiful eyes staring at here like fire, teeth chattering.
Lin Ze was stunned, could this woman from Da Qin be on par with future generations? Then he took a long breath and said: "I have a humble status, and I'm afraid that I won't be in the same family as the girl. The dinner is about to begin, girl, please take your seat first."
After finishing speaking, he remained silent.
A trace of anger flashed across Lu Pheasant's face, and he turned and left.
Lin Ze clearly saw that her seat was opposite him, the first seat on the left, and he felt a little weird.
