Chapter 1836 The Emperor's Dead End
Long Tingyun smiled and said, "Second Master has a good plan. It really makes people take notice."
“…”
"Actually, his feud with the Third Master isn't a big deal. Brothers should just talk it out if there's anything they can't agree on. After all, we're all in this Thermidor Crescent. To put it bluntly, we're all in this together."
“…”
"only--"
He deliberately dragged out his words as he spoke, "The First Boss is currently competing with the people in the court. This is the time when they should be working together, but the Second Boss is doing this for his own selfish reasons."
“…”
"If he really doesn't like the Third In Command, it would be fine if he did it openly."
“…”
"But he plotted a plan, having Jiang Qu send back false news from the Duwei Mansion, instructing the eldest boss to kill the third boss."
“…”
"this--"
He hadn't finished his words when Wu Lun's face showed a ferocious expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are lying to me. You are playing me for a fool."
"That's all."
"Is that all?"
Just as Wu Lun was about to lose his temper, Long Tingyun stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, think about it, he asked Jiang Qu to pass on false information. This information concerns the imperial court and our war."
“…”
"If you make a wrong judgment based on false information, it could be fatal!"
“…”
"Second Master, if you do this, you're going to destroy the entire Thermidor Crescent!"
"damn it!"
Wu Lun was so angry that he slammed his palm on the table, almost denting it.
Seeing his furious look, Long Tingyun said softly, "Big Boss, you have to be careful of the Second Boss."
“…”
"You know, the imperial army is different from the caravans. We are wolves, and the caravans are lambs to be slaughtered, but the imperial army is tigers and leopards!"
“…”
"If we're not careful, the entire Thermidor Crescent will be destroyed."
Hearing what Long Tingyun said, Wu Lun gritted his teeth and a ferocious look appeared in his eyes.
He said coldly: "He is unkind, and I am unjust!"
After saying that, he clenched the note in his hand and stood up to walk out.
When Long Tingyun saw him like this, he knew he was going to attack, and quickly reached out to stop him.
"Master, please wait!"
Wu Lun stopped and looked at him with a frown: "What? You want to stop me?"
“…”
"He's already betraying me like this, should I still show him mercy?"
Long Tingyun smiled and said, "Master, you have misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention."
"So what are you doing—"
"I am merely reminding the Great Boss that a great war is imminent and that we must not unsettle the people."
"Are we just going to let him go like this?"
"Of course not."
“…”
"However, the Second In Command has his own forces and power. If we start a fight with him now, the imperial court will definitely take advantage of the situation and move in. By then, we will be defeated without a fight."
"Then what should we do? We can't just let him do whatever he wants."
A cold light flashed in Long Tingyun's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Boss, didn't I just say that the war is imminent?"
Wu Lun's eyes also lit up.
"you mean--"
Just as the two of them were discussing, they heard footsteps outside. Wu Lun looked up and asked, "Who's outside?"
An Yan's voice came from outside.
"Brother, it's me."
"It's you. Didn't I ask you to go on patrol?"
"I've already looked it over and was just coming back to report to my brother."
"How is it going?"
"Don't worry, big brother. We have sent people to guard this pass. There will be no mistakes."
Wu Lun said: "Then, which way?"
An Yan walked in from outside.
He bowed to Wu Lun and said, "I know you're worried, so I went over to take a look myself. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the ice over there is almost melting."
"It's almost melted, which means it hasn't melted yet?"
An Yan hurriedly said: "Although it hasn't melted yet, we have tried it. If we pick up a stone and put it on it, the ice surface will not be able to bear it."
"real?"
"How dare I lie to you, big brother? The people I brought are all outside. You can call them in and ask them at will."
"Of course I don't distrust you, but that road is our only weakness, so we must ensure it is foolproof."
"That's why I went there in person."
"Um."
Having said this, Wu Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been entrenched in Thermidor for so many years, and he has relied not only on his cruel methods and the large number of men under his command, but more importantly on external attacks and internal defense.
Although the terrain of Thermidor is complex, every road is under his control.
That road is there, of course.
Otherwise, the imperial court would not have suffered such a great loss there last time.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, that road is of course not suitable for travel. However, he is still a little worried and must make sure that everything is safe.
He murmured, "No matter what, the upcoming war still needs people to guard it, but we don't need too many people."
Long Tingyun was standing aside, and when he heard him talking to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He smiled and said, "Boss, if you want to send someone to guard that place, that's perfect."
When Wu Lun heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "You mean -"
Long Tingyun said, "Second in command isn't trustworthy, but the first in command can't completely break off relations with him right now. He'll still be needed for the upcoming war, so why not have him guard that road?"
“…”
"Since the ice on that road has melted, it doesn't matter."
“…”
"As long as we keep him there and don't allow him to participate in our war, we won't have to worry about him disrupting the overall situation."
"rational!"
Wu Lun burst into laughter, and while laughing, he reached out and patted Long Tingyun on the shoulder: "Military Advisor, you are still resourceful and thoughtful."
Long Tingyun said: "I am doing this for the sake of the boss."
“…”
"The Second In Command has no regard for the overall situation and would rather disregard the life of the First In Command and the safety of the entire Thermidor Crescent. Such a person must not be entrusted with important tasks, otherwise, all efforts will be in vain."
"you're right."
Wu Lun sneered and said, "When that day comes, I will arrange it this way!"
Long Tingyun continued, "Then the most important path is—"
When Wu Lun heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes again.
Of course he knew that what Long Tingyun was talking about was the path that the imperial court had already discovered, that is, the path given by Jiang Qu.
The so-called true and false, real and fake, are all things that must be judged in battle.
And that was a path they had already arranged.
A dead end offered to the emperor!
Wu Lun said: "Such an important road, now, naturally can no longer be handed over to the Houthis."
Long Tingyun said: "The boss is planning to..."
