"It doesn't matter who I am,"
The woman stretched her waist in a charming manner and smiled brightly at Wei Chang:
"I know you are short of money, and what I lack the least is money, but I am short of people."
The woman turned around and stood next to the closet. She opened the closet and took out a wooden box.
She placed the wooden box in front of Wei Chang and opened it. Inside was a thick stack of silver bills.
"Here is a hundred thousand taels of silver. If you like it, take it."
Wei Chang certainly didn't reach out to take it. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want to do by tying me up?"
"I'm just a retired commoner now. I can't give you anything. Did you find the wrong person?"
The woman laughed again. "I've already told you your identity and resume, how could I have found the wrong person? You're the one I'm looking for. Come, you've had a hard time on this journey. I'll make you a glass of wine to welcome you home."
"Mr. Wei, please take a seat."
"What if I don't sit?"
"If you don't sit down..." The woman glanced around, and two burly men came out from behind the doors on both sides. They held a cold and shining knife in their arms, staring at Wei Chang ferociously, scaring Wei Chang so much that he shivered.
"If you don't sit down, you won't be able to walk out of this door."
The woman sat by the stove and boiled a pot of wine. "As the ancients said, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. I have made it clear to you. The little emperor doesn't want you, but I do."
"If you surrender to me, you will continue to be the Minister of Works, but of course not the Minister of Works of this Great Xia. You will also receive more money than you can spend in eight lifetimes. If you need a woman..."
She clapped her hands, and two pretty girls in thin skirts came out from behind the doors on both sides.
The woman waved her hand and said, "They are much more tender than your wife, and they are still virgins. From now on, you can do whatever you want with them."
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
The woman chuckled. "Look at you, a grown man. Why are you so nervous? Why are you so anxious?"
"Come, sit down, have a drink with me, and I'll tell you."
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Wei Chang knew that what he encountered was definitely not a good thing, but what could he do?
This woman clearly knew his whereabouts and had already set up a trap. It was definitely impossible for him to escape now, so he had to act according to circumstances.
He lifted his skirt and sat in front of the woman.
"That's right. Come, the wine is just the right temperature. Let's have a drink."
The woman filled two glasses of wine and handed one to Wei Chang. "The winter in Guanyun City is freezing cold, not as cold as in Chang'an City. So the little emperor knows how to enjoy himself."
"Although Mr. Wei has failed in Chang'an City, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and perhaps this is a good thing."
"Come on, let's have a drink."
After Wei Chang drank the glass of wine, he suddenly felt uncomfortable after a while.
This is certainly not the effect of alcohol.
"You put drugs in this wine!"
The woman giggled and said, "On the seventh and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Mr. Wei must have traveled a long way and must be well taken care of. Let him relax for a while."
Wei Chang shook his head vigorously and found that the woman had disappeared, but the two young and beautiful women came over.
They took off their clothes, and they took off his clothes too.
It was snowing heavily outside, and the red candles in the house flickered until dawn.
…
…
A table.
There was delicious food on the table.
The woman sat at the table, looking at the listless Wei Chang and giggling again, "Mr. Wei is still strong and healthy, making me want to give it a try."
"Come, have breakfast. After you are full, I will tell you what to do."
"Don't worry, a gentleman like Mr. Wei will certainly not let you do such murder and robbery."
"It's a good thing, really. I never lie."
Wei Chang sat down and started eating with big mouthfuls. He was really hungry and didn't care about anything else at the moment.
After breakfast, the woman took Wei Chang to sit in front of the coffee table again.
In her hand was a piece of cloth with blood stains all over it.
"Do you want to keep what they left as a souvenir?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Last night I borrowed your personal seal. I wrote a letter to your wife and stamped it with your seal. She didn't suspect anything and left with your two sons, their wives, and your little grandson."
"Don't look at me like that. Don't worry, they're going to a safe place. There won't be any danger. They'll write to you when they get there in a few days, and you'll know everything then."
"Why did you do that?"
"I told you, I need someone."
"Don't let the disaster happen to your family, you...shameless!"
The woman giggled again, her laughter radiant. "Mr. Wei, you are really wronging me. First of all, your family will be safe. Of course, the premise is that you listen to me and do as I say."
"Secondly, I'm a woman, so it doesn't really matter whether I'm shameless or not."
"Where did you send them?"
"Oh, a wonderful country. It's not a wonderful place now, but it won't be long before it becomes wonderful."
The woman made a cup of tea and poured it for Wei Chang. "Now listen to me, listen carefully, and don't make any mistakes."
"It's a very simple matter." The woman's smile faded. She stared at Wei Chang seriously and said, "I need the weapons used by the Daxia army... the design drawings of the Mauser rifle!"
“That’s one of them.”
"Secondly, I need some scientists from the Daxia Science Research Institute who know how to make these guns and bombs."
"I know that when the Academy of Sciences was established, many people were transferred from the Ministry of Industry to join the Academy, and many of them were your people."
"These are just two simple things. Once you've completed them, I'll send someone to take you to that beautiful country to reunite with your family. Those two lovely girls will serve you from now on. This 100,000 taels of silver is for your activities."
"Remember, we must not arouse the suspicion of the Academy of Sciences, so it's best for those scientists to leave one by one. I will send people to escort them out of Daxia."
"Once you get there, I promise you that all of you will be promoted to high positions and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
"Mr. Wei, you are a smart man and you should know how to make choices."
Wei Chang took a deep breath and looked at the woman greedily, "What if I need you?"
"Then this slave is yours, and it can be yours right now."
