In the Wei Palace, a young man stood in front of the female prime minister.
This young man looked unfazed by honor and disgrace - even though he was facing one of the best figures in the Central Plains today, this young man was still neither humble nor arrogant. Even facing the condescending and scrutinizing gaze of the female prime minister, the young man greeted her with an indifferent gaze, without the slightest fear.
The silence in the palace lasted for an unknown length of time.
Suddenly, the female minister sitting next to the dragon chair stood up, walked down the steps step by step, and came to the young man.
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even move.
"Su Wenwen and the young master are majestic and extraordinary in appearance. It turned out to be so when we met today." In the silent exchanges between you and me, the female prime minister was the first to break the silence.
Faced with the praise from the female prime minister, Mr. Wen He still had a calm expression on his face. She said modestly: "Prime Minister Wei is over-praising me. I am just a commoner. How dare I be praised like this by the prime minister."
"In the past, after the 'Battle of the Humble House' in Qianniu Mountain, the reputation of the young master spread far and wide. I wished I could catch a glimpse of the young master, but seeing him today can be regarded as fulfilling my true wish."
The female prime minister has always loved talents. Faced with a great talent like Mr. Wen He, who is rare in a century, she naturally wanted to win over him. When Wen Junchen was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the female prime minister also expressed her intention to recruit through Han Si, but she had no choice but to Wen Junchen devoted himself to a poor family.
"How can I be so virtuous and capable as to let the Prime Minister care about me like this?"
"Young Master fought against Jian Yeshi, Ji Yang and Jiang Changming at Qianniu Mountain. Everyone in the world marveled at your cultivation. What's more, the plan of 'Li Dai Tao Jian' that killed you was also done by Young Master. How can I not admire Ben Xiang'an? "
Mentioning the death of his husband, Mr. Wen He's expression finally changed, but this change was too complicated, mixed with pride, confidence, relief and a trace of... unwillingness?
The female Xiang captured this point keenly, but she did not show any abnormality, but turned the focus to another topic——
"Young Master Wen He traveled thousands of miles to come to our country, Wei Dynasty. Why?"
"Of course it's for the newly arrived iron from your country."
"Oh?" The female prime minister showed an expression of disbelief. She stared into Mr. Wen He's eyes, as if she wanted to see through her, and said, "It's just a little more than in previous years. This is not worthy of Mr. Wen's visit."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from the prime minister, Master Wenhe smiled helplessly and said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the prime minister's eyes."
The female minister smiled and said nothing, just looked at Mr. Wen He quietly.
"To be honest, I do have another purpose for coming here this time." Young Master Wenhe looked at the female Prime Minister who had everything under control. She also spoke frankly and said: "It has been two years since the 'Suzaku Rebellion'." For a long time, now that the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty is weak and powerful ministers are in power, it is a good time for the Wei Dynasty to profit from it, but why has the Prime Minister not taken action yet?"
Facing Mr. Wen He's question, the smile on the female Prime Minister's face became even brighter, as if she had guessed that she would ask this question.
"May I ask, Master, who...means this?"
Mr. Wenhe did not answer, but smiled instead.
"Hey, my good sister is so injured and still wants to mess up the world."
Faced with the "persistence" of the pavilion master, the female prime minister first showed helplessness, like a sister in a common people's family.
The female prime minister waved her hand, and then a female official came next to her and respectfully presented a letter. The female prime minister took the letter and handed it to Young Master Wenhe.
Seeing that Master Wen and Master were puzzled, the female prime minister said, "Master, please take a look."
Mr. Wenhe took the letter, opened it, and read it quickly. After reading it, she looked at the female Prime Minister in surprise and said, "When was this letter..."
"Three years ago." The female prime minister said calmly.
"Three years ago?" Mr. Wen He was slightly startled. Three years ago probably refers to the time when the 'Suzaku Rebellion' had just subsided and the Empress Dowager of the New Tang Dynasty hung behind the curtain. Then...then why didn't you take it out until today? Could it be that if he had not come to the Northern Wei Dynasty, this letter would never have been sent? And the content written in this letter was one of the purposes of her coming here. Could it be that the female prime minister had been waiting for Yunyue Pavilion to speak first about this important matter?
"Since the Prime Minister has already written this letter, why do you have to wait for the recipient to come?" Young Master Wenhe said in an unhappy tone.
"This matter is of great importance. If the truth is not sure of the Pavilion Master's true thoughts, how can he dare to tell the matter so easily?"
Young Master Wenhe was speechless for a moment, and now she found herself facing a cunning fox. This old fox didn't send this letter because she was waiting for her side to mention the matter first. Only when she was sure that the goals of both parties were consistent, she would take this crucial step - but the female prime minister is not a fairy, this time There was one thing she didn't guess. Master Wen He asked with a slight smile: "Is the affectionate prime minister waiting here?"
"This matter is too important. This letter needs to be handed over to the Young Master in person."
"The ancients said: A wise man will make a mistake after all his considerations. Although the Prime Minister took this step steadily, he guessed wrong in one place."
"Oh? Where?" The female prime minister showed an interested expression.
I saw Master Wenhe slowly taking out another letter from his arms, and then holding it in the air with two fingers.
The female prime minister raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"I also ask the Prime Minister to see it with your own eyes——"
Seeing Wen and the young master respectfully hand over the letter in his hand, the prime minister gently took it. After opening the envelope and unfolding the letter paper, a few crooked words appeared on the letter paper. The female prime minister quickly read this awkward letter, and her expression became confused.
"This letter is...?"
"Sent to the Pavilion Master."
"Who sent it?"
Mr. Wenhe laughed dumbly. It seemed that what the Prime Minister said was not a question, but a joke, but she still replied respectfully: "I am afraid that I wrote this letter with my non-dominant hand. Obviously I didn't want to leave notes."
The female prime minister was slightly startled. She scanned the letter again, and then she understood. But even so, she still had doubts.
"Since it was sent by Anonymous, then the Pavilion Master believed it? Young Master... also believed it?"
"Haha, the Prime Minister didn't know something. When I sent this letter... there was also a banknote worth one hundred thousand taels!"
"One hundred thousand taels?" Rao was a female prime minister and was a little surprised when he heard this number.
"This person promised to have one hundred thousand taels left after everything is done."
"Two hundred thousand taels... It's not a small amount of money... I just don't know where this letter came from. Could it... be the Wang family?"
Young Master Wenhe smiled casually and said: "Who is important to the Prime Minister? What the Prime Minister wants is what this person wants, and what this person wants is what the Prime Minister wants. As for who this person is... I believe the truth will come to light once things are done.”
After hearing Mr. Wen He's words, the Prime Minister couldn't help but feel like she had escaped from the puzzle, and her appreciation for Mr. Wen He also increased a bit. She reached out and handed the letter back to Young Master Wenhe, then turned around and walked around, saying: "There must be brave men under a heavy reward. In this case, I can rest assured."
Mr. Wen He held the two letters between his fingers, then snapped his fingers. In an instant, the letter paper was torn into pieces and scattered on the floor.
Looking at this little trick made with the breath of heaven and earth, the female prime minister smiled.
"Prime Minister, I have something else to ask you," Young Master Wen He asked respectfully, as if he was afraid that he might make a mistake in his words, and said, "It's just that... I hope the Prime Minister will tell you the truth about what I'm going to ask about next."
The female prime minister nodded without thinking too much.
Young Master Wenhe bowed his head, then two rays of light shot out from his eyes, and asked: "I don't know if your country has been dispatching troops to the west recently..."
The female Prime Minister's face darkened in vain, as if her secret was being peeped by others.
Seeing the female Prime Minister's reaction, Young Master Wen He still smiled indifferently, but after a short pause, he continued as if he had not seen it: "I dare to ask the Prime Minister, if General Han removes Zhou Chen, this business road to all countries will ..."
The female prime minister's eyes became colder and colder. She stared at Mr. Wen He without saying a word. At this time, she was like an alpha wolf whose territory had been violated.
"Oh, Prime Minister, please don't misunderstand. Yunyue Pavilion has business connections all over the world, and Luodu's business is too important." Sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Young Master Wenhe explained.
"Excuse me, sir, who does this... mean?" the female prime minister asked coldly, but this time she was not as easy-going and polite as before, but seemed to be questioning.
Sensing this strong sense of warning, Mr. Wen He still did not hide anything and said: "This time, it is my intention."
"Oh?" Faced with such a straightforward answer, the female prime minister was a little surprised.
The mobilization of troops this time is actually relatively secretive. The purpose of this move is to surprise the soldiers with great speed. However, Mr. Wenhe today dares to speak out about this matter. He is very courageous. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to walk out of this palace alive. Door. Yunyue Pavilion has eyes all over the world. The female prime minister has been alert to this matter for a long time. Today, she actually grasped the movements of the Northern Wei army and saw through its intentions. How can this make the female prime minister feel at ease? But even if her intention is to be spied on, a smart person like Wen He and Gongzi will not tell it easily. Could it be that...she has another purpose?
The female prime minister did not continue to ask further questions. She was waiting for the 'intruder' to explain his intention.
"Prime Minister, please don't misunderstand me. The master of the pavilion has promised to donate Yunyue Pavilion to me, and this matter is related to the rise and fall of Yunyue Pavilion, so I have to ask you boldly."
When the female prime minister heard this, she gradually became wary. She looked at Mr. Wen He, who also looked at her with sincere eyes. After a period of silence, the female prime minister put on a smile again, but this time there was an intriguing hint in her smile, as if she had seen something interesting——
"I almost forgot, my sister did promise to give Yunyue Pavilion to the young master, but... Mr. has been dead for six years, but he has not seen my sister..." The female prime minister said it in an extremely understated way, as if... Chatting as usual.
Mr. Wen He's expression was extremely unnatural, but she quickly covered it up, and then said calmly: "The Pavilion Master is still alive, so everything naturally still belongs to the Pavilion Master."
The female prime minister smiled coldly in her heart. No matter how well Mr. Wen He concealed it, the subtle changes in that moment were still captured by her.
In just a few words, the female portrait seemed to have regained the initiative. She raised her posture again and waited quietly for Mr. Wen He to speak.
quiet--
Absolute silence——
Even breathing could be heard in the hall at this time.
Mr. Wen He stood in the center of the hall with his eyes closed, as if facing some important choice, while the female prime minister slowly walked up the steps and walked to the slightly shorter seat next to the dragon chair and sat down again. Down.
Half a cup of tea has passed, but the female prime minister is not in a hurry at all. Just like a shrewd and experienced businessman, after showing a corner of the precious commodity, what she needs to do is to wait patiently for the other party's quotation. .
Looking at the absent-minded Mr. Wen He, the woman looked calm and composed. At this time, she was full of confidence. She firmly believed that the woman at the foot of the steps was just like her. Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she would never let it slip away easily. The reason why she is so sure is that she believes that what drives them to this day is the same thing in their bones - the deep desire for power and status. She knows this feeling very well, because they are all people who have the ability to firmly grasp these things. It is precisely because of this that she feels sympathy for Wen and Young Master.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Young Master Wen He finally spoke, and she said calmly——
"I'll go there myself this time."
"Master, are you going to go in person? Have you thought about it?"
Wen and Young Master did not continue the topic just now, but no matter how they tried to avoid it, they always knew in their hearts that nothing could avoid it.
"The young gentleman is by his side and he has to be careful. Naturally, I can only do this."
"Now that the young master has made up his mind, I can rest assured." The female prime minister got up from her seat and walked out of the palace.
Going in person means "submit your name". Now that you are ready to submit this form, in the eyes of the female prime minister, it means "surrender".
"Prime Minister—" Young Master Wen He slowly raised her head. Her eyes were no longer easy-going. At this time, resentment, fear, and... a strong ambition could be seen in her eyes.
The female prime minister stopped, but she did not turn around, but still faced outside the prime minister's palace.
"If such a day comes... I hope the Prime Minister can help me..."
The female Prime Minister still did not turn around, and after a moment, she just nodded, and then walked out of the hall, leaving only Wen and Young Master standing in the empty hall.
