A trace of disdain flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes. He leisurely picked up the hot tea on the table and blew it gently, as if he was appreciating Wu Wuzhu's clumsy performance. He knew in his heart that this young man sent by the emperor of Chang'an City was just an insignificant chess piece in his hand. However, he did not intend to reveal this fact prematurely. He wanted Wu Wuzhu to understand through repeated encounters that the world was not as simple as he imagined.
"Wu Wuozhu, you came just in time." Changsun Wuji said coldly, with a playful smile on his lips, "I heard that you did a good job in Chang'an City, and the emperor has great trust in you. So, can you tell me Why did the emperor send you to me?"
Wu Wuozhu was shocked when he heard this question. He originally thought Changsun Wuji was a straight-tempered person, but he didn't expect him to be so cunning. He hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "His Majesty the Emperor asked me to ask you some military questions."
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji gently put down the teacup in his hand, a trace of disdain and contempt flashing in his eyes. He sneered: "Military issues? Do you think I will believe your lies? Let me tell you, the emperor sent you here for another purpose."
When Wu Wuozhu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. He understood that Changsun Wuji was right, and the emperor did think so. But at the same time, he also knew that if he admitted this, his life here would be very difficult.
"No, that's not the case!" Wu Wuozhu argued eagerly, "His Majesty the Emperor really just asked me to ask you some questions!"
Seeing his panic, Changsun Wuji became more convinced of his guess. He decided to teach the young man a lesson and let him know his place.
"Okay, since you said that, I will believe you once." Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice, "But you have to remember that I am the boss here. If you dare to betray me, the consequences will be very serious. .”
Li Ke looked at Wu Wuzhu, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes. He knew this man was his important pawn in this power game. He needs to take advantage of this guy to win in this game. At the same time, he silently reminded himself that he must be extremely careful with people like this who are regarded as pawns by the emperor.
"Why did the emperor of Chang'an City ask you to come here?" Li Ke asked in a calm tone, his eyes staring closely at Wu Uozhu, as if he wanted to see the truth through his heart.
As for Wu Guozhu's purpose of coming, and coming with an imperial edict, he wanted to see what this guy wanted to do.
"The Holy One has a decree. Knowing that King Qi is young and ignorant, he will give you a chance to surrender and spare your life."
Li Ke couldn't help laughing when he heard Wu Wuozhu's answer. He had long known that the emperor sent Wu Guozhu to persuade him to surrender, but he did not expect that this young man would state the emperor's intention so straightforwardly. It seems that this Wu Wozhu is still too young, and his understanding of politics and power is not deep enough.
However, this also gave Li Ke an opportunity to educate Wu Guozhu and let him understand that real power is not obtained by surrendering and admitting defeat.
"Oh? So, are you here to persuade me to surrender on behalf of the emperor?" Li Ke asked lightly, with a hint of joking in his eyes.
"Yes." Wu Wuozhu replied, his expression firm.
Li Ke shook his head secretly, this young man is really stubborn. He decided to give Wu Uozhu a warning to let him understand his position.
"You know? I once had a friend, and he was as stubborn as you." Li Ke said with a smile, "He thought that as long as he surrendered to the emperor, he would get everything. But, what did he get in the end? What he got Just betrayal and disappointment.”
Wu Wuozhu was shocked when he heard this. He began to doubt whether his position was correct. He didn't want to make the same mistake as his friend.
"I am very pleased with your loyalty." Li Ke continued, "But you must understand that politics is not a child's play. In this game, only the winner can get everything. If you cannot understand this, then you will only become Someone else’s chess piece.”
Wu Wuozhu was even more shaken when he heard this. He began to doubt whether he had made the right decision. He doesn't want to be someone else's pawn.
"So, I suggest you reconsider your decision." Li Ke said in a deep voice, "If you are willing to stay and fight with me, I can give you an important position. If you choose to leave, then you can go alone Well. But you have to remember that you are no longer our friend."
When Wu Wuozhu heard this, he felt tangled in his heart. He didn't know what he should do. He didn't want to betray the emperor, but he also didn't want to be someone else's pawn. He began to hesitate.
"Give me some time to think about it." In the end, that was all he could say.
Li Ke nodded, knowing that this young man needed time to think. He won't force him to make a decision, but he will wait for the results. At the same time, he also knew that this decision was very important to Wu Wuozhu and he needed to seriously consider it.
Wu Wuzhu sat alone in the room, his heart full of contradictions and entanglements.
He knew deeply that his decision would change his own destiny and also affect the future of many people.
He thought of his family and friends and his country.
He knew that if he stayed, he would be at the forefront and become an important figure in this fight.
He will have the power and influence to change many things.
However, he will also face huge risks and pressure.
On the other hand, if he chooses to leave, he can live a simple life, no longer troubled by power and struggle.
However, he will also lose a lot of opportunities and influence to change the things he wants to change.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
He opened the door and saw that it was the messenger sent by Li Ke.
"Mr. Wu Wuzhu, Prince Li Ke invites you to go to the conference room." The messenger said.
Wu Wuozhu felt nervous. He knew this was the time he had to make a decision.
He took a deep breath and followed the messenger to the conference room.
Under the guidance of the envoy, Mr. Wu Wuzhu walked through the winding corridor and arrived at the conference room.
His heartbeat quickened and his palms became slightly sweaty.
He knew that he was about to face a difficult decision.
Entering the conference room, the first thing he saw was Li Ke. He was sitting at one end of the long table, wearing a gorgeous crown costume, looking majestic and solemn.
On the other end were Changsun Wuji and others. They all looked serious, and they obviously attached great importance to the content of this meeting.
