Seeing Tang Tong's tearful expression, Xue Wuxia finally ended her probing. It seemed that Tang Tong was truly frightened. "Since Lord Tang is unwilling to disobey the imperial decree, then we shall obey it."
"What?"
"I told you to just follow my orders. That way there won't be any problems, right?"
"How could I possibly have the guts to fight Qinghe? Besides, you've even persuaded my concubine to rebel. How could I possibly fight you?"
"Oh? Lord Tang, you even know that we have persuaded your concubine to rebel? It seems that Lord Tang is quite attentive in his daily life."
Xue Wuxia said in surprise.
Although it was very easy to persuade Tang Tong's concubine to rebel, after all, he was the one who snatched her back, but his intelligence work was actually discovered by the victim, which was a major mistake.
"Alas, Lord Xue, you worry too much. If I weren't completely stupid, I would have known that my general's mansion is already full of your people. As for my concubine, she recites the entire speech of His Majesty Lin Hai in her sleep. Tell me, if she hasn't been instigated to rebel, she can't be learning knowledge."
"this..."
Xue Wuxia decided to go back and ask someone to train Tang Tong's concubine well. Tang Tong had already reached this point where basically everything he did was under the surveillance of the intelligence station, so there was no need to recruit another person. However, Xue Wuxia discovered that Tang Tong's concubine actually had some potential to be an intelligence agent, so she specially developed her.
I didn't expect that she actually had the habit of talking in her sleep. This is incredible.
In the future, when developing new people, we must add an additional assessment item to monitor whether they have habits such as talking in their sleep and sleepwalking.
"We can talk about your concubine later. You have more than one concubine anyway, so you can just change one. I like this one, so just give it to me."
Xue Wuxia made the decision directly for Tang Tong.
"Since Master Xue likes it, feel free to use it. It's nothing special."
Since Xue Wuxia had asked for someone, Tang Tong naturally didn't want to keep this time bomb around. Although he was already surrounded by bombs, one less was better than one more. Besides, it only cost a dozen taels of silver to buy it, so giving it away could be a favor, so why not do it?
"Thank you, Master Tang."
Xue Wuxia cupped her hands and continued, "Since Lord Tang is so generous, I won't hide it. For now, the best way is for you to follow the imperial decree."
"Master Ke Xue, don't even think about asking me to go to war with Qinghe. If I just use my team, it will be exposed."
Tang Tong said distressedly.
"Oh? You're worried about that?"
"Of course I'm worried. The military supervisor this time is Dai Xi, the Minister of War. He's an expert on military affairs. And as you know, my troops, those who look capable of fighting, can probably only number around 10,000. The rest can only be made up of civilians. Such fake troops can't be concealed at all."
Looking at Tang Tong's expression, Xue Wuxia kept suppressing her urge to laugh. After all, she was a rigorously trained intelligence agent. No matter how funny it was, she would never laugh and she would definitely be able to hold it back.
However, Prince Chen Yu, who was strategizing far away on the central battlefield, could never have dreamed that although his surprise attack plan seemed quite correct strategically, the difficulty in implementing it was not whether it would be discovered in advance by Qinghe, but that the leading general he had high hopes for was a complete waste.
Now, this loser is asking his enemies for help because he has been drawing too much of a salary without working.
"Master Tang, you can rest assured about this."
Xue Wuxia seemed to be comforting Tang Tong.
"After the founding of the Qinghe Nation, they are reorganizing their army. The newly formed Qinghe First Army will be stationed on the border. I will go and greet General Cheng Guorong, the commander of the army. He will not take the initiative to attack you. He may even give you some insignificant corners to make your attack appear to be successful.
As for your army, it's simple. Since you have no people and we have, let Commander Cheng send an army to join you.
Don't worry, we'll bring our own weapons and armor. Just help me prepare some uniforms, flags, and insignia. With the entire Qinghe army joining, your army will look exceptionally elite, and both the military supervisor and the distant crown prince will be satisfied."
"this..."
Tang Tong was a little hesitant. After all, drawing a salary without working was greedy, and in the past, nurturing the enemy was also greedy, which was also a serious crime. However, it was completely different from the current direct collusion with the enemy country and even allowing the enemy army to enter one's own army. Now it was outright treason.
Even for someone like Tang Tong, treason had a huge impact on him.
"Lord Tang is still hesitating? Does he seem to prefer the close contact between his neck and the Imperial Sword? Or is it that his nine clans are not on good terms with him, and he wants to wipe out all his relatives at once?"
Xue Wuxia said sarcastically.
Sure enough, for most people, the temptation of being alive is greater than anything else.
They often comfort themselves by saying, "Just get through today and figure out the future later."
This is what Tang Tong thought. After all, it is better to die late than early, rather than dying as soon as the military supervisor arrives or dying after being discovered.
"Okay, Master Xue, you tell me what to do, and I'll arrange it."
Between life and death, Tang Tong made the decision efficiently.
Xue Wuxia counted silently in her heart for a while. Well, Tang Tong's loyalty to the Great Chen Dynasty and the prince only made him hesitate for less than ten breaths. He was really loyal.
"No, Master Tang, we have done so much for you, shouldn't Master Tang do something?"
"Huh? What else do we need to do?"
"Your family is incredibly wealthy, and you must have saved quite a bit over the years. I remember there are thousands of silver winter melons weighing a thousand pounds each in your cellar alone, as well as countless jewels and valuables. It's no longer safe to keep these in Zhaoyang. If someone discovers them, wouldn't you be exposed right away?
Why not take advantage of this time to transport them all to Xijing and store them there? I'll inform His Majesty that this is your private property and will not be touched. I'll just charge a small storage fee."
Xue Wuxia took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Tang Tong.
Tang Tong took it and took a look. It was actually a list of his own property. Even the half-used antique inkstone in the study and the gold-inlaid toilet in the bathroom were listed!
