The Presbyterian Church became their competitor, but Du Wentao said this was not a bad thing.
Wei Yuanji was even more puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Du Wentao with confusion.
If it were anyone else's words, Wei Yuanji would have blasted them away.
"If the current situation continues, we will inevitably follow Wu Xing Palace, and even gradually become a force dependent on them."
Du Wentao sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice: "What's more, the Turks are becoming more and more barbaric, and the appetite of the Wuxing Palace is getting bigger and bigger..."
Recently, bodyguards in Jubao Palace have often been imprisoned by Turks.
Wei Yuanji naturally knew about this matter.
"Gongsun Yang promised to help us handle the matter of the escort being imprisoned."
Wei Yuanji thought of the other party's threat yesterday, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
The dignified master of the secret palace of the Ming Cult was actually threatened by a young man. He said coldly: "If it weren't for this, how could I let him go so easily."
Du Wentao knew that if Wu Xinggong was willing to come forward, the matter should turn around.
But if this happens again and again, it can only be solved through the military punishment palace every time.
If things go on like this, Jubao Palace no longer has any independent right to speak, and can only completely obey the orders of Wu Xing Palace.
That was what really worried him.
"If the palace masters of the Wuxing Palace really become the leader of the Ming Cult in the future, with their temperament, they will definitely ask for more."
Du Wentao couldn't help but frown when he thought of this.
What's more, since "that one" was sent to the Turks last year, the Turks' influence outside the Great Wall has expanded from the northwest all the way to the Beiyuan region.
As the power grows, it also means that the opponent's appetite is also growing.
I'm afraid that by then, Jubao Palace will be unable to refuse the Turks' request, nor will it be able to resist the other party's suppression.
Du Wentao didn't think that in a critical moment, Wu Xing Palace would be willing to offend the Turks for the sake of Ju Bao Palace. By then, Ju Bao Palace could only become a piece of fish to be slaughtered.
Now the Hidden Killing Palace has joined forces with the Tongyin Palace. As the secret palace whose power is second only to the Wuxing Palace, the collaboration between the Hidden Killing Palace and the Tongyin Palace cannot be underestimated.
The Presbyterian Church holds the title of the Young Master. The Presbyterian Church itself has a profound foundation, and with the orthodox name of the Young Master, it is also a huge force.
All forces are taking action, which means that a bigger and more chaotic war is about to begin.
The more chaos there is, the more opportunities there are for businessmen to profit.
Du Wentao chuckled and said: "Wouldn't it be better to just take advantage of this melee, where all the forces are fighting, and we enjoy the benefits?"
Ideals are beautiful, but Wei Yuanji did not let them get to his head.
He shook his head and said: "Even so, the price of getting on this ship is still too high. Today alone, I gave away the Holy Fire Sword in vain, but I got nothing."
You can't take the Holy Fire Sword back.
Wei Yuanji still felt a little distressed at the thought of losing the sacred weapon like this.
Moreover, Bai Xiuping also proposed to take 30% of the assets of Jubao Palace. Wei Yuanji became even more worried when he thought that if all these assets were wasted.
Jubaogong is rich, but not sick.
Du Wentao didn't care much about this, and said calmly: "As you said before, if you want a big fish to take the bait, you must use good bait. The Holy Fire Sword is just a means to win over the young leader."
"The young leader's behavior is sometimes indifferent and sometimes crazy. In the final analysis, it is just a childish performance after being manipulated."
Wei Yuanji said "hmm" and gradually began to think deeply.
Upon seeing this, Du Wentao continued: "Although he has indeed changed a lot and grown a lot compared to before, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change."
It is not easy for a person to change.
Can you completely change your nature after three years of seclusion?
It's obviously impossible.
More importantly, the young leader now has a major weakness.
Du Wentao raised the corner of his mouth and said with some pride: "Before coming to Jubao Palace, the young leader also provoked Fu Yutao, who was extremely loved by the master of Tongyin Palace."
"What!"
There was a "thumping" sound.
Wei Yuanji suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
Who doesn't know how protective the Tongyin Palace Master is? As the biggest competitor, Wei Yuanji naturally knows that woman.
Seemingly normal, he behaves the craziest way, regardless of his behavior.
Now that her young palace mistress is being bullied, how can she sit idly by and ignore it?
Even if the young leader offended her, he would not be an exception.
Wei Yuanji looked surprised, slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Why are you telling me this kind of thing now?"
"To be more detailed, how did he provoke the young palace master of Tongyin Palace?"
Du Wentao first bowed his head and saluted: "This incident happened just before the Young Master came to Jubao Palace. It happened suddenly and I didn't have time to report it to you. Please forgive me."
Wei Yuanji waved his hand. It was obvious that he didn't care about etiquette at all now, and signaled Du Wentao to get to the point quickly.
"Because it happened in the young leader's room, only a few people in the room knew the specific situation at the time, and I don't know the details."
Du Wentao paused for a moment.
He chuckled lightly and said, "But if you look at the young leader's ridiculous and lustful behavior in the past..."
Seeing Wei Yuanji's mouth open with a look of shock, Du Wentao nodded and said: "What happened inside must be what you think."
What else could a lustful scoundrel do?
Wei Yuanji slowly sat down, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter.
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
Wei Yuanji laughed and said: "If this is the case, the woman in Tongyin Palace will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing. Even the young leader will not let him go easily."
Wei Yuanji couldn't help but grin when he thought of Palace Master Tongyin's methods. He couldn't control his smile at all.
"This lecher doesn't know how much trouble he has caused because of his reckless actions."
Wei Yuanji felt a little annoyed when he thought of how Bai Xiuping didn't take him seriously just now.
He snorted coldly and said: "The young leader just said that Jubao Palace is not the only place with strong funds, so let us see how he will react after arriving at Tongyin Palace."
Yes, in addition to Jubao Palace, Tongyin Palace is indeed equally well-funded, but that is based on the premise that Bai Xiuping has not offended the young palace master of Tongyin Palace.
Wei Yuanji leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be imagining the fate of the young leader.
He murmured: "Just go to Tongyin Palace and give it a try. If you come back and beg me on your knees, I might even consider saving your life."
Immediately, he sneered and asked Du Wentao: "Or, we simply don't care about his life or death and let Tongyin Palace attack him."
Both situations are pretty good when you think about it. Wei Yuanji feels that the troubles at the moment are a bit happy.
But after Du Wentao was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "It doesn't seem appropriate to stand by and watch."
"Rather than caring about his life or death, it is better to find the right opportunity to save his life. In this way, we will surely be able to win him over to our side."
Wei Yuanji did not expect that Du Wentao actually planned to save the young leader. He said solemnly: "Why is this?"
If they leave it alone, there should be no loss for their treasure gathering palace.
But Wei Yuanji still planned to listen to his confidants' thoughts.
Du Wentao explained hesitantly: "This is because...if an accident happens to the young leader, it will not be good for the Palace of Treasures in the long run."
"Tongyin Palace will also be charged with conspiracy, and it may even be eliminated by other forces, right?"
The biggest competitor is gone, which is naturally a good thing for Jubao Palace.
Wei Yuanji's intention was very obvious, he just didn't want to save the young leader.
Du Wentao also expected that Wei Yuanji would ask this question. He shook his head and continued to explain: "When the situation is broken, the Palace of Treasures will become the target of all major forces."
"With the strength of the Palace of Treasures, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect yourself wisely. Therefore, I think that standing aside and watching is not the best decision."
Wei Yuanji looked seriously at Du Wentao, who insisted on his own opinion, with the pressure of someone who had been in power for many years.
Du Wentao's eyes were firm and he didn't flinch at all, just looking straight at Wei Yuanji.
The air seemed to condense at this moment.
After a moment of silence, Wei Yuanji said softly: "Okay, then Wen Tao, just lurk quietly near Tongyin Palace. At the right time, rescue the young leader and bring him back to Jubao Palace."
"We must not let him die. As long as he lives now, he has huge trading value."
In the end, Wei Yuanji chose to trust Du Wentao. This confidant had been calm in dealing with things before and could make more accurate judgments than himself.
Apart from the eldest son, Du Wentao has the greatest contribution to the development of Jubao Palace to its current scale.
What's more, providing help in times of need is indeed more meaningful than adding icing on the cake. Buying low and selling high is the way to do business.
Du Wentao quickly agreed.
He couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart. He was just pretending to be calm, but in fact he was already panicking.
The reason why he insisted so much was because if Jubao Palace really stood by and watched, Yangming Palace might not be able to save it, and by then, he would also be finished.
