Zi Yan was stunned. She stared at Lu Chen blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She really wanted to incite Lu Chen to rebel, and she really wanted Lu Chen to be used by their Holy Church.
For this reason, during the time that Lu Chen was in a coma, she and her subordinates had thought of many methods and made many plans.
This includes but is not limited to seduction, bribery, coercion, etc.!
But what she never expected was that Lu Chen was such a wimp. He surrendered as soon as she threatened him!
If I had known you were so easy to deal with, why would the Saint have gone to all that trouble before!
Feeling somewhat unhappy, Zi Yan couldn't help but sneer, "Haha, I thought the Imperial Master was a man of steel. Where's your integrity? Where's your promise to rather die than surrender?"
Facing such ridicule, Lu Chen said calmly, "There's an old Chinese saying, 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero.' I think this saying makes a lot of sense, and I intend to put it into practice throughout my life."
"Besides, I don't owe the Great Qi court anything. On the contrary, I have done a lot for them, so there is no need for me to be blindly loyal to the Great Qi court."
"Haha, after all, you are just afraid of death. Why do you have to make yourself sound so great and glorious?" Zi Yan continued to mock him mercilessly, and there was even a hint of anger in her voice.
Hao Min, who was standing aside, looked at her with some confusion. Logically speaking, Lu Chen was willing to turn over a new leaf and help the White Lotus Sect. Isn't this exactly what they wanted?
Hao Min really couldn't understand why Zi Yan was so angry.
Perhaps even Zi Yan herself did not realize that the reason she was angry was that she felt that some of her fantasies had been shattered.
She herself didn't even realize that in her mind, Lu Chen's image should be the kind of person who can stand up straight on major issues and who can give everything for the one he loves.
But now you've betrayed me so casually. Are you worthy of Li Mingyue? Are you worthy of me?
Zi Yan couldn't wrap her head around this for a moment, but Hao Min hurried forward to smooth things over, saying, "It's wonderful that the Imperial Master thinks so. From now on, we're all family. As you said, we can definitely let the glory of the Holy Church shine upon the entire world."
"Yes, yes, yes. From now on, my main task in the Holy Church will be to help it grow bigger and stronger and achieve greater glory." Lu Chen's face was full of excitement. He looked at Hao Min with greedy eyes and said, "Now that I have converted to our Holy Church, shouldn't I take the necessary steps?"
"Steps? What steps?" Hao Min looked stunned.
"What other steps could there be? Don't you have to pay a price to persuade others to rebel? For example, gold, silver, and jewelry, power above everyone else, or beautiful women?" Lu Chen said this very directly.
Hao Min looked at Lu Chen in shock, then quickly turned to look at Zi Yan, as if to say, "Lady Saint, is this the character of the national teacher that people praise?"
Zi Yan immediately turned her head away. She even felt a little guilty and was embarrassed to look Hao Min in the eye.
What a shame! What a shame!
She really wanted to tell Hao Min that the Lu Chen in front of her was the real Lu Chen after putting aside the halo that many others had given him.
Hao Min was sent by the White Lotus Sect to cooperate with Zi Yan, so she must be a very clever person. She quickly adjusted her mentality and said to Lu Chen with a smile: "What are you talking about, Imperial Master? You are of noble status. As long as you are willing to work for our Holy Sect, your status in the Holy Sect will naturally not be too low."
"Stop talking nonsense and show me something real. I'm the Imperial Master in Da Qi. How much power can I have in your White Lotus Sect? I don't want gold, silver, or treasures, and I don't even care about the little you give me. But beauties are a must, right? I think you're quite good. Stay by my side and work for me from now on!"
Are you kidding? Doesn’t the imperial army get any benefits from the amnesty these days?
You must not say no, could it be that you took kickbacks from the benefits given to me by the Imperial Army?
Zi Yan and Hao Min's faces turned green. During the time when Lu Chen was unconscious, they had thought about how to make Lu Chen surrender, but they never expected that Lu Chen would be more proactive than them in rebelling against Da Qi.
He asked for Hao Min by name right away. I don’t need to explain in detail what his purpose was. Those who understand will understand.
Hao Min is not the kind of person who entertains people with her beauty. She also holds a certain amount of power in the Holy Church, so it is naturally impossible for her to accompany Lu Chen to do such a thing.
So she could only put on a smile and say, "I also really want to be by your side, Imperial Master, and listen to your teachings. Unfortunately, the Holy Church has other things for me to do, so I'll have to find time later. But don't worry, Imperial Master, I'll immediately arrange for a female..."
"Ahem! These requests from the Imperial Master are all normal. I will personally arrange them for you once we return to the Holy Church. Our most urgent task now is to ask the Imperial Master to accompany us to the Yangzhou branch. Many of our brothers and sisters there are also suffering from malaria. I hope the Imperial Master can help them."
Zi Yan interrupted Hao Min and gave her own explanation. What her purpose was, probably only she knew.
Lu Chen curled his lips and thought, what's going on? Are you planning to take advantage of me for free?
"Haha, it's okay if you don't have money, but now you won't even give me a woman? Then tell me what benefits I can get from helping you. You can't let me work for nothing."
As soon as Hao Min saw Lu Chen's face turn sour, she knew things were going to get bad. Sure enough, Lu Chen continued, "What do you think I am? Why should I let you do it for free? Come on, why don't you just kill me now? I won't serve you anymore!"
"State Master, calm down. Don't worry. Our Holy Church will never treat you unfairly. You will get what you ask for in the future. In fact, letting you go to Yangzhou for distribution is also a process of transferring power. From now on, the entire Yangzhou distribution area will be under your jurisdiction. You can freely deploy the personnel and supplies there."
hehe!
Lu Chen sneered in his heart, do you really think I'm a young boy? I know without asking that the Yangzhou branch must be full of wounded soldiers and there may be holes everywhere.
By the time I fix the hole, you might turn against me and find an excuse to take back control of the Yangzhou branch.
"No, we need to think of some way to break the deadlock while maximizing our profits."
As he said this, Lu Chen glanced at Hao Min and Zi Yan.
Soon his eyes lit up, and he actually came up with a solution, a solution that was not against the law in this era, but was definitely very immoral.
"Hehe, you were the ones who started it, so don't blame me for being unethical!"
Question: What can fight against cults?
