Chu State, Jiangdong County, Zhongli looked at Mingtai who walked into the room, "How is he?"

"Hui Houye, not much improvement, still not speaking, refusing to answer any of our questions. Master Hou, I think this person is a diehard, and it is extremely difficult to get what we need out of his mouth, so it is better to use some means."

"Such a person can't be tough, you know, he is worth as much as an army!" Zhongli smiled: "Diehards? Not necessarily, you see, from the very beginning when he didn't eat and went on a hunger strike, isn't he willing to eat? That says a lot, doesn't it? These days, we've loosened a lot of restrictions on him, and if he wants to die, there's more chance, but you see, isn't he alive and well?"

"That's just as well!" Mingtai also laughed, "At the beginning, it was all up to us to force him to eat something, but now it is much easier, we spent a lot of silver on this kid's body, and we bought several ginseng sticks."

"It's all worth it, a little silver is nothing." Zhongli smiled, "Sometimes, the means of terror can't destroy a person's will, but time can. Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people? This Mao Wei graduated from Jicheng Comprehensive University, he is not a soldier, he has not undergone the devilish training of the army, and he does not have the set of brainwashing things instilled in them by his superiors, and Jicheng Comprehensive University is also a place that advocates academic freedom, there are many voices that are different from Gao Yuan, where does this Mao Wei live, he must have heard this kind of thing, so his will will will not be so firm."

"Speaking of which, it's really strange, what does Gao Yuanji want to do? Hou Ye, you said that the big council he started was cultivating a place against himself, why did he do this?" Mingtai looked at Zhongli in bewilderment.

Zhongli stood up and said with emotion: "This is the most clever place in Gao Yuan!" Mingtai, tell me, in our Great Qin, are there any people who oppose the king?"

Mingtai hesitated for a moment, "Master Hou, of course it is a deposit, otherwise there is no need for our Black Ice Terrace to maintain a huge domestic division."

"That's right, we have it in Great Qin, we have it in Chu, and how can Han make an exception, instead of letting the opponents do things in the dark and do something unseemly, it's better to give them a stage to show and let them come out openly, on the surface, it's naturally better controlled than in the dark, isn't it? Those who oppose Gao Yuan have found a stage where they think they can play themselves, and they will do their best to show their abilities on this stage, but they don't know that they are dancing in the circle drawn by Gao Yuan, so to speak, Gao Yuan's practice has controlled all the possible disadvantages of him in the country, and reduced the danger of bloodshed, which is a very clever trick!"

"However, it will also lead to the ineffective implementation of the decree." Mingtai shook his head and said, "According to our information, Gao Yuan has already wanted to implement a policy several times, but it has been vetoed by their big council."

"That's not the point, the point is that the army is still in Gao Yuan's hands." Zhongli shook his head, "For this Great Council, I have only studied some superficial aspects, in China, Li has organized a large group of people to study a series of policies implemented by Gao Yuan in the Han Kingdom, after going back, you may be able to ask for advice."

Mingtai laughed, "What am I going to do with them?"

"You are wrong, Mingtai, as the future successor of the Black Ice Terrace, you must be well versed in the political system, a leader of the Black Ice Terrace who does not understand politics is destined to be impossible to take on the big responsibility." Zhong Lidao.

"How can Master Hou say such a thing, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, it is a good year, and Mingtai still wants to study under you for a few more years!" Mingtai Road.

Zhongli laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Mingtai's shoulder, "Before leaving Xianyang this time, I had already submitted my resignation to the king, and the king rewarded me with a manor in Shu County, thousands of acres of land, where am I going to retire. That's a good place, hahaha."

"Wait!"

"It rained so hard that night!" Zhongli looked at Mingtai and suddenly said something inexplicably.

Mingtai's face changed greatly, first red and then white, and his body tensed up all of a sudden.

"Let's go, let's go see the treasure we have worked so hard to get back this time." Zhongli smiled and turned to walk out the door.

Mingtai hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

The rain that night was really heavy, for others, it was indeed clueless, but for Mingtai, there were other meanings in it, because it was on that rainy night that the new king secretly summoned himself into the palace, asked himself a lot about Zhongli Houye, and promised himself that he would be the successor of the new Black Ice Terrace.

He used to think that this was a very secret thing, but he didn't expect that all his actions were under Zhongli's control, and all his actions never escaped the eyes of the old man in front of him, which made him tremble a little.

Once the son of heaven is a courtier, the new king will naturally put an institution like the Black Ice Platform under his control, and although Zhongli is loyal, his background is too deep and the relationship is too complicated, just like a century-old tree, the root system is intricate, and the new king may feel that he can't completely control Zhongli, so he has the plan to replace him.

But a person like Zhong Li is not said to be exchanged, now it seems that Lord Zhong has already understood the king's thoughts, and took the initiative to put forward the intention of leaving, which is okay and avoids some unnecessary trouble.

Do you want to go to Shu County? It's not okay, Mingtai knows that there are riots there now, and the troops stationed there are exhausted, pressing the gourd and scooping, the former country of abundance is now stormy.

"Did you find the person I asked you to find?" Zhongli, who was walking slowly with his hands behind his back, seemed to know that Mingtai would definitely be a step behind him.

"Found it, it was sent yesterday."

"He didn't overreact?"

"No, according to Lord Hou's orders, this person can speak Mao Wei's hometown, and he doesn't have any official background, of course, it won't be our person, just an ordinary woman. It can only be regarded as dignified. It took us a lot of effort to find this candidate, and we gave her five hundred taels of silver, and bought her."

"Do a good job, such a person will tug at people's heartstrings intentionally or unintentionally. Now that Mao Wei's desire to die is gone, the desire to live will become stronger and stronger, and this little woman may be able to help us a lot."

"Master Hou, in fact, my subordinates think that it would be more effective to find a well-trained woman to do this in the Black Ice Table!" Mingtai put forward a different opinion, since Zhongli had already picked out that matter, as the future head of the Black Ice Terrace, he was not afraid to make his voice heard.

"Wrong, if it's an ordinary person, it doesn't matter, but a person like Mao Wei who will play a great role in the power of a country, we can't use such a means, naturally, it's the best, Mingtai, have you thought about it, if Mao Wei is willing to be used by my Daqin, he will inevitably occupy a place in the court in the future, and he will have a high reputation, with irreplaceable role, even people like Gao Yuan, do not hesitate to reward the inventor of explosives, then our Daqin, will fall behind? In order to stimulate this Mao Wei and make him more willing to serve us, the king will never spare his official position and the reward of his title."

Turned his head and glanced at Mingtai, "To put it bluntly, people like us can be changed at any time, but people like Mao Wei are scarce, you find someone from within us, and if you expose the stuffing in the future, what good will it do to our Black Ice Terrace?" It would be very disadvantageous for us to let such a guy who is destined to become an important figure in our Great Qin hate us. Black Ice Platform has always been an unpleasant yamen, hasn't it? Just like the Inspectorate of the Han Kingdom, every time their big council will shout to cut their budget, hahaha!"

"Master Hou is right, I wrote it down."

Mao Wei now lives in a separate courtyard in the county guard of Jiangdong County, and where he moved to it was because not long ago, Mao Wei was attacked by a desperate attack by the Han State Supervision Yuan Action Team.

Although the two countries were in the stage of cooperation, due to various reasons, the Qin people were not willing to completely hand over Mao Wei to the Chu people, and in Jiangdong County, all the affairs of Mao Wei were taken care of by the Qin State Hei Bingtai. Mao Wei was secretly imprisoned in a stronghold in Heibingtai in Jiangdong County, but the spies of the Han State Supervision Yuan had great powers and actually found this location, and an action team led by Yi Bin, the vice president of the Supervision Yuan, suddenly attacked this stronghold.

However, Mao Wei is an inevitable figure in the Qin State, and the defense is naturally the most tight, not to mention that there is Zhongli in command, this time the sudden attack, although the Black Ice Platform suffered heavy losses, but it also made the attacking Supervision Yuan Action Team except for a few people who escaped from Yi Bin, the rest also died there, and recently, they were only one room away from Mao Wei.

After this battle, because of Yi Bin's escape, Zhongli thought to himself that if the Supervision Yuan attacked again, the strength of the Black Ice Platform would no longer be enough to ensure Mao Wei's safety, so he had to transfer Mao Wei to the county guard mansion in Jiangdong County. Except for the innermost guard, which was guarded by the personnel of the Black Ice Terrace, all the field services were handed over to the people of Chu.

"Listen!" Zhongli suddenly stopped, listening to the faint singing voice in the courtyard, "It's good, isn't it?"

"This is the slang of Mao Wei's hometown, and he misses his relatives." Mingtai listened for a moment and explained to Zhongli.

"Sounds really good, this is the most natural, Mingtai, if you find a well-trained person, even if she can sing, can she sing this kind of true feeling?" Zhongli smiled and glanced back at Mingtai, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in. (To be continued......)
