"Lord Wei, forgive me for being blunt, but if the two of us join you, what can we get?”
They didn't reject who they could rely on. On the contrary, they were more concerned about what they could get.
Wei Zhongxian had already learned this from Huang Jing, so he was not surprised.
"I can let you not die, not die tragically under the banner of the Dong Lin Party, don't you know that's enough?”
Wei Zhongxian naturally wouldn't promise them any benefits. To him, these two people weren't worth it.
"Why are you so sure?"
Li Shaojing frowned. If Wei Zhongxian could really eradicate the Donglin Party and protect them, they naturally wouldn't mind working under Wei Zhongxian.
"Before you, Grand Secretary Huang Jing had already come to me.”
Wei Zhongxian smiled contemptuously, but Li Shaojing and Zhou Rui were stunned on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Cough cough…"
It was unknown whether Wang Cheng had done it intentionally or not, but he suddenly coughed twice, waking the two up.
Li Shaojing looked at Wei Zhongxian in disbelief. Even a dignified pavilion elder had sided with him?
Zhou Rui was the same. He also had a puzzled look on his face.
"Is what Milord said true? Elder Huang…"
Before Li Shaojing could finish, Wei Zhongxian interrupted him.
"Yes, Old Huang is also one of my men!”
After receiving Wei Zhongxian's affirmative answer, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. At the same time, they cupped their fists and bowed to Wei Zhongxian.
"This lowly official is willing to follow Daren and die without regrets!”
"This lowly official is willing to follow Daren and die without regrets!”??
Two voices rang out. Wei Zhongxian had his back to them as he grinned.
I'm one step closer to my plan. Donglin Party, Gu Xiancheng, are you ready?
"Milords, there's no need to be like this. In the future, everyone will support each other.”
Wei Zhongxian said politely. Although Wei Zhongxian said so, Li Shaojing and Zhou Rui understood what he meant.
"Don't worry, sir. We'll follow your lead!”
"Hahaha…Good!"
Wei Zhongxian laughed loudly, and so did Wang Cheng. It seemed that his judgment was right.
"You are now in an awkward position in court. Remember, no matter what the Dong Lin Party does, just don't ask or obstruct them.”
Wei Zhongxian began to give orders. The two of them pondered for a moment before bowing again.
"Come back to the Governor's Office in seven days. Old Huang will be there too. We will discuss the matter and eradicate the Donglin Party in one fell swoop!”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, both of them became excited.
"I will definitely be there!"
Then, Wang Cheng sent the two of them out of the Governor's Mansion and returned to the hall.
"Hahahaha…!"
Wei Zhongxian laughed heartily. Cao Zhengchun and Wang Cheng looked at each other and smiled.
"Sir, your calculations are brilliant.”
Cao Zhengchun flattered Wei Zhongxian. This time, Wei Zhongxian felt very comfortable.
"Wang Cheng is still the best. It's exactly as you predicted.”
Wang Cheng immediately bowed. He did not dare to accept Wei Zhongxian's praise.
"Daren must be joking. It was clearly Daren who deduced it himself. This subordinate was only speaking on Daren's behalf.”
After Wang Cheng finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian laughed even louder.
However, there was a hint of sadness in his laughter. He was treating her as an outsider. What he lacked in this world was not subordinates but friends.
Cao Zhengchun looked at Wang Cheng strangely and gave him a thumbs up.
Awesome, this was the highest realm of flattery.
'Looks like I have to learn more in the future.' Cao Zhengchun thought.'I must interact more with this guy in the future just to secretly learn the essence of flattery.'
A carrier pigeon suddenly flew in. Wei Zhongxian recognized it at a glance. It was Huang Jing's carrier pigeon.
Cao Zhengchun waved his arm and the pigeon immediately landed on it. Cao Zhengchun skillfully opened the envelope and released the pigeon.
"Sir, it's a letter from Grand Secretary Huang!"
Cao Zhengchun raised both his hands and was grabbed by Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian opened the envelope in a simple and crude manner. After reading it, he laughed.
He threw the letter to Wang Cheng, who took it.
"Look at you two. Today is really a double blessing.”
Cao Zhengchun and Wang Cheng read the letter. After reading it, Cao Zhengchun burned the letter into ashes.
"Milord, I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple.”
Wang Cheng said it directly. Wei Zhongxian smiled because Wang Cheng was right.
"If I leave this matter to you, are you confident in convincing him?”
Wei Zhongxian asked. Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
"This subordinate is incompetent. If Milord had asked this subordinate to do this, I'm afraid that once this subordinate appears, this matter would have collapsed.”
Wei Zhongxian nodded. Huang Jingxin had mentioned that he had already helped Wei Zhongxian arrange an appointment with Grand Tutor Chu. This Grand Tutor of three dynasties was also a legendary figure of the Pavilion Elder.
The letter also mentioned some of Grand Tutor Chu's preferences and characteristics.
It seemed like Elder Huang had put in a lot of effort.
"Wang Cheng, come with me tomorrow. We'll meet this Grand Secretary Chu!”
Cao Zhengchun frowned when Wei Zhongxian finished speaking.
"Milord, aren't you going to bring your subordinate along?”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned. Was Cao Zhengchun jealous?
"You? You have more important things to do!"
Cao Zhengchun's interest was immediately piqued. He bowed and cupped his fists, looking as if he was rubbing his fists.
"Sir, please give me your orders. This subordinate will die for you!”
"Tomorrow…you better watch over that water vat. If there's any movement, immediately tell me!”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun was stunned.
What was that?
Let me see the water tank!
Wei Zhongxian looked at Cao Zhengchun's dumbfounded expression and smiled. At this moment, he felt a trace of warmth.
"Your…Your Excellency, can you change to another task?”
"Are you looking down on my water tank?"
"Uh…I don't dare!"
"Then watch the water tank. Those who have evil intentions will be killed without mercy!”
Then, Wei Zhongxian waved his hand. As he watched the two of them leave, a sense of loneliness swept through Wei Zhongxian's entire body.
No one could understand this kind of loneliness, because he was incompatible with this world!
……
At this moment, Huang Degong was lying in a large wooden bucket. He had just finished his training, but he had actually fallen asleep in the wooden bucket.
This wooden barrel was filled with water. That's right, this was a large wooden barrel used for bathing.
At this moment, Huang Degong was not the only one in the room. This room was especially big. Other than the wooden barrel, there was nothing else in it.
Oh…there were still over four hundred soldiers from the East Wind Battalion. At this moment, they were all lying in wooden barrels. There were quite a number of people who were sleeping like Huang Degong.
This day was truly too painful for them.
Thinking of the days ahead, some people even sobbed softly, but no one gave up.
The reason for their persistence was simple. They could not resist the high salary or the opportunity to change themselves and their families.
There was not only hot water in these wooden barrels, but there were also many other things. They did not know these things, nor did they want to know them. They only knew that it was very comfortable to soak in the barrels.
His aching limbs actually didn't hurt after soaking for a while.
Only Huang Degong knew that this was a medicinal bath, a medicinal bath that Daren had specially prepared for them.
There was only one goal. It was to let these people who had broken through their physical limits today continue to train tomorrow and continue to break through their limits!
