At the same time, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang City.
The most powerful person in the current Qin State, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin State, Lu Buwei, was standing by the window of the study, looking at the bright moonlight, lost in his own thoughts.
Behind Lu Buwei stood two people, one on his left and the other on his right.
Upon closer inspection, one of the two was a gloomy-looking young man. His gaze was like that of a venomous snake.
Beside the young man was a woman.
The woman was tall and slim. She was wearing a purple and white striped slim metal combat suit. Her legs and right arm were covered with mesh armor, which complemented the style of the sword at her waist, accentuating her figure.
However, the woman's appearance was currently wrapped in a piece of black cloth, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. However, from her large, watery eyes and her graceful figure, this woman was definitely a stunner in the world.
The two of them stood beside Lu Buwei with respectful expressions, especially the young man, whose eyes had a hint of fear.
After a long while, Lu Buwei came back to his senses.
Looking at the gloomy-faced man, Lu Buwei said,""Lao Ai, what do you think of my actions today?”
The young man was Lao Ai, the current leader of Lu Buwei's Network Assassin Organization.
After pondering for a moment, under Lu Buwei's stern gaze, Lao Ai hurriedly said,""Lord Prime Minister, your actions today are indeed wise. By getting rid of Cao Yuan and Cao Zongzheng, we will have one less enemy. At that time, we will arrange for our own people to sit on the Zongzheng position. This way, more than half of the nine ministers will be our people!”
"Hmm?"
Lu Buwei gave Lao Ai a glance with an ugly expression, as if he was dissatisfied with Lao Ai's answer.
Turning around, Lu Buwei looked at the masked woman and said indifferently,""What do you think, Startling Salamander?”
The lady's eyes flickered slightly, then she cast a glance at Lao Ai, who was staring at her with a sinister look, and felt a sense of helplessness in her heart.
Lao Ai was not on good terms with him, and now that Lu Buwei was obviously biased towards him, the relationship between the two of them would probably become even more tense in the future.
However, she, the Startling Salamander, was not afraid of the Master of the Net, who was a good-for-nothing in her eyes.
Taking a step forward, the Startling Salamander spoke calmly, his voice as clear as a spring." Lord Prime Minister, there's something I don't understand.”
"Oh? Tell me the truth."
Lu Buwei was obviously surprised by the Startling Salamander's words.
The Startling Salamander didn't hesitate and directly said,""Does Milord have the confidence to make Jiangning submit to Milord?”
"Haha!
But, Lu Buwei did not answer the question. Instead, he turned to Lao Ai and said coldly,"" Lao Ai, use your brain before you think. We have nothing to fear from those nine ministers, or even the civil officials of the entire Great Qin Empire. Getting rid of them is just a matter of convenience. What we really need to worry about are those generals of the Great Qin Empire who hold military power, understand?”
After hearing Lu Buwei's words, Lao Ai did not dare to say a word, and could only lower his head in silence.
Seeing this, Lu Buwei no longer looked at Lao Ai, but turned to the Startling Salamander and said blandly,""You said that I don't have the confidence to make Jiangning submit, hehe.”
Smiling faintly, Lu Buwei continued,""This minister has already investigated. Jiang Ning has only entered the army for less than half a year, and it is still unknown how much he schemed against the imperial court. With this minister's current strength and this minister's gift today, this minister does not believe that he will not submit to me.”
"This…"
The Startling Salamander had nothing to say about this. The middle-aged man in front of him had analyzed human nature thoroughly.
"Of course, I still need to take some precautions. After all, if I really fail, I don't want to benefit others.”
Hearing Lu Buwei's words, the Startling Salamander's face froze." Minister, you mean…"
As it spoke, the Startling Salamander made a throat-cutting motion towards its snow-white neck.
Laughing loudly, Lu Buwei said with satisfaction,""As expected of the Startling Salamander Swordmaster. That's right. This time, I sent you to the northwest border city. Firstly, if Jiang Ning can't be used by me, you can kill him. Secondly, if Jiang Ning is willing to submit to me, you can assist him there.”
"Yes, this subordinate will obey!"
Startling Salamander bowed.
Lu Buwei looked up at the graceful body of the Startling Salamander and couldn't help but be amazed.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Buwei said,""Of course, if necessary, you can use some special methods.”
At this point, Lu Buwei felt a little regretful. He hadn't dared to touch such a thorny rose until now. It would be a pity if Jiang Ning got it. Sigh!
Lu Buwei could only let out a long sigh.
What he wanted was power. As for women, after obtaining power, he could have as many as he wanted.
After hearing Lu Buwei's words, the Startling Salamander looked into his eyes and understood what he meant.
The Startling Salamander's face couldn't help but turn slightly red, but it was only for a moment. Soon, her face returned to normal.
"Yes, I will not disappoint you, Prime Minister!" he said in a low voice.”
"Good!"
Nodding his head heavily, Lu Buwei couldn't help but burst into laughter." Haha! I, Lu Buwei, am the most powerful person in the world!”
