Looking at the person in front of him who was covered in a cold sweat and was scared half to death. The King of Guilin's face was slightly better, raised his hand and said, "Get up." The matter of the British king, this king is also a little blind. You have been by the side of the King of Shu all these years, and you can be regarded as doing a lot of things for this king, even if you have no merit, you have hard work. Those small mistakes this time, this king will not be held accountable. ”

Although he heard that the master let him get up, where did this person dare to really get up? It wasn't until after kowtowing a few more times that the man stood up cautiously: "Thank you for forgiving your subordinates for their incompetence." Please rest assured that in the future, your subordinates will do their best for the master and go to the soup and fire. There will be no more mistakes, and we will never disappoint the high expectations of our masters. ”

Regarding this person's assurance, the king of Guilin just smiled faintly and said, "For your ability, this king still believes in it." Since you have that ability, then the king will give you one more thing. At present, the imperial court wants to fully open the sea ban, take back the exclusive right of overseas trade enjoyed by the palace for a hundred years, and order the palace to close the twelve trading houses located in Quanzhou. ”

"Although this is the holy decree of the imperial court and the decree of the imperial court, it stands to reason that even this king has to accept it. But just handed over the country that the previous kings had worked hard for more than 100 years to hand over, and the king was really unwilling. Lu Wentao, since you are known as a poison warrior in the Shu Palace, how should this king do it in your opinion? ”

If the king of Shu who is now dying, he sees the person who is standing in Guilin at this time, and he is probably angry. This person was none other than him, and he had been painstakingly searching for many days, and he could not find it until he left Jingzhao in a hurry. It turned out that he had always relied on him and mastered most of the secrets of the Shu Palace, and he wanted to get rid of Lu Wentao as soon as possible.

Lu Wentao is extremely cunning and treacherous, and he has been by the side of the King of Shu for more than ten years, and he already knows the character of the King of Shu well. The king of Shu sent him to Zhengzhou to preside over the extermination of King Jing's family, and he realized that the king of Shu had the intention of destroying himself. Therefore, although he went to Zhengzhou, he did not show up at all. Because he knows very well that as long as he shows up, his life will definitely be gone.

After being sent to Zhengzhou by the king of Shu to Dali and Tubo masters, he was annihilated by Huang Qiong's arrows, and he sneaked back to Jingzhao. It's just that this person is very bold, and he didn't completely disappear from the side of King Shu. After sneaking back to the capital, he hid in the courtyard of the King of Shu, less than thirty steps from the exit of the secret passage. At the beginning, in order to monitor the Shu King's Courtyard, he set up a secret stronghold.

Because every time he entered Beijing with the King of Shu, the King of Shu never allowed him to enter the other courtyard. Not only was he not allowed to enter the other courtyard, but even the two secret passages leading to the outside world in the Shu King Courtyard were never told to him. If he hadn't accidentally discovered it, he wouldn't have known that this courtyard still had a passage to the outside world. It was the discovery of the King of Shu that he didn't tell himself anything.

This style of the King of Shu gave him a feeling that the King of Shu did not fully trust him, and it could even be said that he had begun to be wary of himself. Therefore, he used some of his henchmen who had been secretly cultivated in the Shu Palace's Mansion over the years to set up surveillance bases at the exits of the two secret passages in the other courtyard. And this time, he didn't tell the truth when facing the king of Guilin.

Not only did he know that the King of Shu was not dead, but even the situation when the King of Shu fled from Jingzhao in a hurry, who was following him. He was hidden in a two-story attic less than thirty steps away from the exit of the secret passage where the King of Shu escaped. Even the king of Shu fled from Beijing to Songzhou, and the secret strongholds he received along the way were all planned and set up by him.

It's just that no one knows why he hid it. Even if he was extremely trembling in front of the King of Guilin, he still did not tell the true whereabouts of the King of Shu. As for now, although the king of Guilin County showed his attention to himself in his tone, his years of undercover career made Lu Wentao distrust everyone, especially the master in front of him.

No matter how much he showed fear of this master, no matter how much he appeared on the surface. But in his heart, he never believed in any promise of the king of Guilin. Therefore, instead of showing any pride, Lu Wentao deliberately made a sincere and fearful posture for the King of Guilin's question. Because he clearly knows that being praised by this county king may not be a good thing.

Not long after the King of Shu left the palace, he was recommended to the King of Shu by the King of Guilin, but in the name of a strategist, he was doing undercover work. But Lu Wentao clearly knew that the eyeliner that the king of Guilin placed in the Shu Wangfu was definitely not the only one. Although his position in the Shu Wangfu is very important, he is just a chess piece in the Guilin County Palace.

His real status over there is not even the person in charge. The Guilin County Mansion is placed in the eyes of the Shu Palace, and there is someone else in charge. And what he knows more is that although the King of Shu and the King of Guilin have always used each other, the King of Shu, who is extremely suspicious by nature, also distrusts the King of Guilin. The Shu Wangfu is in the Guilin County Palace, and there are also eyeliners.

It's just that despite these years, he has been in contact with a large number of secrets in the Shu Palace, including even every move in the palace. It was the concubine Shen who was placed in the palace by the King of Shu, who was proposed and responsible for it. Even in order to prevent Concubine Shen from really having an affair with the emperor, the matter of letting Concubine Shen give birth to a child for the King of Shu was also planned by Lu Wentao.

But for so many years in the Shu Palace, he never knew the identity of the Shu Palace's eyeliner placed in the Guilin County Palace. Even the information of the Guilin County Palace in the hands of the King of Shu will not let him see it. The king of Shu can intervene against other kings of the clan and the palace. Only in this Guilin County Palace, the King of Shu will also let him know something, but the real core does not let him know at all.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the Shu Wangfu not only has a fine work in the Guilin County Palace, but also the identity of this fine work is not low. Because from the few words he mastered, even some of the secret things of the Guilin County Palace, and even the fact that the Guilin County Palace secretly trained 100,000 elite soldiers in the 100,000 mountains on Guangnan West Road, the King of Shu was clear.

Over the years, in addition to himself, he has known the king of Guilin. In addition, through some information about the Guilin County Mansion obtained from the Shu Palace, Lu Wentao knew the personality of the Guilin County King very well. It can be said that the son of the king of Guilin County, I am afraid that he does not know as much about his father as Lu Wentao.

Although there is not much direct contact, it is after years of understanding that Lu Wentao knows that the king of Guilin in front of him is a more ruthless person than the king of Shu. If the King of Shu is a wolf with both ferocity and cunning, then this King of Guilin is a combination of tigers and wolves. The degree of ferocity far exceeds that of the King of Shu, and the degree of insidious and cunning is even more difficult for the King of Shu to reach.

This master likes smart people very much, but he doesn't like people who are too smart in front of him. It is precisely because of this that Lu Wentao's performance in front of this master is far more cautious than in front of the King of Shu. For the praise of the king of Guilin, he didn't even dare to show the slightest excitement. Because then, in front of this master, he behaved too contrived.

Anyway, this master likes to see himself putting pressure on others and making others tremble. This master likes the feeling of being in control of everything, and the more others behave in front of him, the more they show that everything is under his control, the happier he is. This master has always thought that he is the smartest man in the world.

So he didn't dare to answer the question of the king of Guilin, but said cautiously: "Back to the master's words, my subordinates have been in the Shu Wangfu all these years, doing things according to the master's instructions, and they are not too clear about the affairs of the palace." If you need your subordinates to do something in this matter, please also ask the master to make it clear, and the subordinates will obey the master's instructions. ”

Regarding Lu Wentao's performance, the king of Guilin was not surprised. Lu Wentao is a smart person, and he likes smart subordinates. But if the person is too smart, or even more than him, that's a different matter. However, satisfaction is satisfaction, but the plain face of the king of Guilin has not changed in the slightest. just looked at Lu Wentao lightly, and the light in his eyes seemed to see him through.

After looking at Lu Wentao, who had stood in front of him for a long time, he said, "You don't want to stay in the capital any longer." Over the years, you have helped the King of Shu do a lot of things, and there must be many people in the capital who know you, and you are prone to accidents when you are in the capital for a long time. Ming'er, you will go to Quanzhou, and this king has decided to hand over the affairs of Quanzhou to you. ”

"The court asked the king to close the twelve trading houses and hand over the right to trade. Well, this king will hand it over. This king wants to see what kind of fame can be made by those officials in the imperial court who are like wine bags and rice bags after leaving the palace of Guilin County. When you go to Quanzhou, the first thing you will do is close down all the twelve trading houses. As for the private ones, they will also stop for the time being. ”

"No matter what means you use, you can't let those merchants buy one or two teas, a piece of silk, a piece of porcelain, and a load of medicinal herbs. Tell those merchants in Jiangnan that if anyone dares to trade with those merchants behind the king's back, then pray not to let the Guilin County Mansion know. Otherwise, let their whole family wash their necks and find someone to collect the body in advance. ”

"Hmph, this king wants to see, those merchants can't buy a single or two teas, what do you take to collect taxes? This right of trade was given to you, so what use are you? Since you are unkind first, then don't blame this king for being unrighteous last. If you want to cut off your king's wealth, your king will cut off your way of life. Without the annual income of the Guilin County Palace, what will you do to raise soldiers? ”

At this time, the king of Guilin County, how could he still have the elegant appearance in front of the emperor during the day, and the expression on his face was a hungry wolf. And after he finished saying his thoughts, Lu Wentao, who was finally relieved, hurriedly said: "The master is so clever and clever to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and his subordinates admire him very much." Please rest assured that your subordinates will do what their master tells them after they arrive in Quanzhou. ”

Lu Wentao's assurance, the king of Guilin, who had heard a lot of such words, nodded disapprovingly, waved his hand and said, "Well, if you do this kind of thing, this king is still relieved." Okay, it's getting late now, you're going to Quanzhou tomorrow, go to rest early. Go to the ruler, and tell him what the king has commanded, and let him find two virgins to accompany you. ”

"You can choose the woman in the garden today, and choose the one you like. Over the years, you have worked hard, but it is still a little late. When the big event is decided, the king will naturally be rewarded. Remember, if you are faithful to your king, your king will not be stingy. But if it is half-hearted and secretly selfish, this king will definitely not be too tolerant. ”

Although he has always thought that he is a ruthless master, in front of Guilin, who is a hundred times more ruthless than him, whose methods are a hundred times more vicious, and whose power is far from being extravagant for him. Lu Wentao always felt frightened, and almost every time he saw this master, especially those cold eyes, an inexplicable sense of fear rose in his heart.
