"This is Yuwen Cheng?"
Madam Dong Ming rushed over after receiving the news. She looked at the corpse of the man in black lying on the floor of the cabin and then looked deeply at Dugu Ce."It is said that this person is an expert in the Yuwen clan, second only to Yuwen Huaji. I didn't expect him to die in your hands.”
"Madam, you don't have to thank me."
Dugu Ce smiled." The Yuwen clan has been fighting with us for many years. I'm happy to eliminate the strong warriors of the Yuwen clan." By the way, how does Madam intend to deal with the accounts that Yuwen Cheng stole?”
"The account book belongs to my Eastern Sea Sect." Before Madam Dongming could speak, Shang Gong said lightly,""Young Master doesn't need to worry about how to deal with it.”
"Is that so?" Dugu Ce's lips curled into a sarcastic smile." If it weren't for me today, would Shang Gong have been confident in defeating Yuwen Cheng and keeping the accounts?"”
Shang Gong choked, his expression awkward.
Without Dugu Ce, Shang Gong would not have been able to keep his accounts and might have even been seriously injured by Yuwen Cheng.
Dugu Ce looked at Madam Dongming again." Madam, there are too many things you can use against us in your sect's account book. The implications are too wide. In the current situation, it has become a source of trouble." Today, it was Yuwen Cheng who came to steal the account book. Who would it be next time? This time, there was only one expert who came to steal the account book. How many experts would come next time? The Eastern Sea Sect was indeed powerful, but this was the Central Plains. Madam, you should know that a mere East Ocean is nothing in the vast Central Plains.”
There were many experts on Eastern Sea. However, the only one who could really shoulder the responsibility was Madam Dongming.
However, Madam Dongming was only a grandmaster of Du Fuwei's level. She could not suppress the current Great Grandmasters.
If there was an endless stream of experts, how many times could Madam Dong Ming block them?
Madam Dong Ming looked straight at Dugu Ce and said slowly,""Then in Young Master Ce's opinion, how should our sect deal with the accounts?”
"Very simple." "Madam, please give me the account book." Dugu Ce smiled. This Young Master will then pass the accounts book to the right person. In this way, Madam would not have to worry that there would be an endless stream of experts coming to find trouble in the future.”
"Leave it to you?" Shang Gong had just been stabbed by Dugu Ce, so he didn't want to say anything more. But now, he couldn't help but say,""What do you want the ledger for? Could it be that he wanted to use the account book to attack the Yuwen clan?”
Madam Dong Ming did not speak. She only looked at Dugu Ce and listened to his explanation.
"Who am I?" Dugu Ce shook his head and smiled. To attack a mere Yuwen clan, did they even need a ledger?”
Although his tone was calm, his eyes were filled with contempt. It showed that under his modest and gentle appearance, there was an extremely sharp and proud nature.
Madam Dong Ming's eyes revealed a hint of admiration as she said gently,""In that case, who is Young Master going to give the account book to?”
"Didn't Madam accept Li Shimin's invitation to write a letter to persuade Li Yuan to raise an army?”
Dugu Ce said bluntly," Even though Madam and Li Yuan have a good relationship, I'm afraid a mere letter won't help the indecisive Li Yuan make up his mind. If he added this account book, Li Yuan would not hesitate anymore.”
The Li Family had also purchased a large number of weapons and armor from the Eastern Sea Sect. The scale of the rebellion was large enough for Li to bear the crime of rebellion.
Once the Eastern Sea account book that recorded the business dealings between the Li family and the Eastern Sea Sect was leaked, if Li Yuan did not want to be punished by the Emperor for treason, he could only rebel. This was a bit ridiculous. Because he was afraid of being punished for treason, he could only take the initiative to rebel. But in reality, this was the only way.
It was better to be fully prepared and take the initiative to rebel than to be forced to hastily raise an army under the threat of the imperial envoy.
However, the Eastern Sea Sect could not hand over the account book.
This was because it was related to the credibility of the Eastern Sea Sect. The arms deal was related to military affairs.
Once the Eastern Sea Sect handed over the accounts and exposed the military secrets of their business partners, their reputation would be ruined. In the future, he could forget about doing business in the Central Plains.
Therefore, even if this account book would bring a lot of trouble to Eastern Sea Sect, they could only use someone else to throw away this hot potato.
"Young Master Ce is planning to give the account book to Li Shiming? Help him persuade Li Yuan to raise an army?" Surprise appeared in Madam Dongming's eyes.""Didn't Young Master Ce say that he wouldn't join the Li Family? Why do you want to borrow my account book to make friends with Li Shimin?”
"I have my own ideas." Dugu Ce stared at Madam Dongming and smiled.""I wonder if Furen can grant this one's wish?”
Madam Dongming couldn't guess Dugu Ce's intentions.
As a member of the Dugu clan who had a close relationship with the emperor, he should have supported the Sui family. Those who have disloyal intentions should be severely punished. But now, he wanted to help Li Shimin persuade Li Yuan to raise an army, which was to stir up trouble.
He said that he wouldn't join Li Shi Min, but he was willing to give him the East Ocean account book that he could use to control many forces.
What was Dugu Ce trying to do?
Madam Dongming could not figure it out.
However, looking at Dugu Ce's warm and gentle smile, Madam Dong Ming felt that her heart, which had been calm for many years, was slightly disturbed. A voice in his heart was also persuading him."Give it to him, he's trustworthy…"
She didn't know where this " trustworthy " feeling came from. However, she vaguely felt that Dugu Ce was amiable and trustworthy.
She didn't think that she was swayed by Dugu Ce's charm.
As Empress Yin's daughter who had cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power since she was young, she had always been the only one who could move others with her charm. Who could move her with their charm?
Taking a deep breath, Madam Dongming turned her beautiful eyes slightly to avoid Dugu Ce's warm smile. She calmed her heart and said lightly,""Alright, we'll do as Young Master Ce says. The accounts of our sect will be handed over to Young Master Ce.”
Dugu Ce smiled and nodded.”
