Little Baga remained silent for a long time, staring intently at Su Fengji, trying to discern whether the other's words were true or false...
Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?
Little Baka stared coldly at Su Fengji, his mind racing as he considered how to handle the situation. He had no intention of giving up the credit he had just earned…
"My lord, I know the consequences of deceiving you, but I sincerely wish to pledge my allegiance to His Highness the Crown Prince, however..."
At this point, Su Fengji made a sudden turn, causing Xiao Baga to immediately press down hard on the knife in his hand, preparing to chop off his opponent...
"Hey, hey, hey... don't get excited..."
Su Fengji quickly interrupted the other party's murderous intent, and then said in a bitter tone...
"I sincerely want to pledge my allegiance to His Highness the Crown Prince, but my entire family is in Yanjing. If I betray him now, none of my family members will survive..."
Hearing Su Fengji's words, Xiao Baga felt no sympathy. He was just a dog raised by Li Zhu, so how could he possibly understand the other person's feelings?
However, after a moment of silence, he came up with a plan. He stared intently at Su Fengji and said...
"Since you wish to pledge allegiance to His Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you tell me your family's address, and I will bring them back to Daizhou? What do you think?"
This has two advantages. First, it allows us to determine whether the other party's defection is genuine. If they provide a false address, it proves they are feigning defection, and we can kill them without hesitation…
With Su Fengji's current defensive capabilities, there's simply no way to stop his assassination attempt...
Another advantage is that the other party provided a real address and took their family with them, so there's no fear that they won't come to stay...
As an envoy, Su Fengji could naturally see through such ulterior motives, but he felt that this was not a bad thing. He had originally intended to rebel, but he was worried about his family. Now that someone was taking care of his worries, how could he refuse?
“I am naturally extremely grateful for your abilities, sir. I hope you will treat my family well. I have a jade pendant here; when you go to pick up my family, show it to them, and they will naturally believe you…”
As he spoke, Su Fengji handed the jade pendant from his waist to Little Baga and also told Little Baga his home address…
Holding the jade pendant, Xiao Baga was already 80% convinced of Su Fengji's allegiance; the remaining 20% would only be confirmed once Su's family arrived…
"In that case, just wait for my good news..."
After Little Baka finished speaking, he was about to leave. Su Fengji wanted to see if he could leave, so he quickly and respectfully asked...
"My lord, may I ask how I should address you?"
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine to ask such a question, but how could anyone say such a thing when Li Zhu called Xiao Baga in such a humiliating way?
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask..."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Su Fengji completely bewildered. He didn't know how he had offended the little bastard, and why it seemed so angry...
However, Little Baka wouldn't explain the problem to him, leaving Su Fengji alone, bewildered...
Daizhou!
"Your Highness, Little Baka has sent a message..."
The Marquis placed a secret letter in Li Zhu's hand, which puzzled him greatly. He thought the other party had run away. After all, a loyal dog was right beside him, but once released, it became an ambitious wolf. Once you become a wolf, it's hard to go back to being a dog...
Li Zhu intentionally gave the other party a chance to rebel, but what Li Zhu didn't expect was that this guy was really useless...
Li Zhu opened the message for Xiao Baga, and after reading it, his eyes were filled with shock…
"Little monkey, go and call Gao Siji and Chen Qingzhi over..."
The Marquis turned and left. He had grown accustomed to the form of address and no longer cared what Li Zhu called him. Most importantly, Li Zhu's strength had now surpassed his own, so he could only accept his fate regarding the form of address…
Soon, Gao Siji and Chen Qingzhi arrived at Li Zhu's central command tent...
Li Zhu poured a cup of tea for the two of them, then placed the news about Little Baga in front of them. After they had read it, Li Zhu asked...
How credible do you think this news is?
Chen Qingzhi and Gao Siji exchanged a glance, then Chen Qingzhi spoke.
"Your Highness, I have only been in Youzhou for a short time and do not know Su Fengji very well. I only know that he lives a life of luxury and likes to hold lavish banquets in private to entertain various powerful figures. I am not sure whether he will pledge allegiance to me. Let General Gao tell me..."
Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, Li Zhu nodded slightly, knowing that it was indeed the case, so he didn't insist. Then he looked at Gao Siji...
Gao Siji pondered for a moment before speaking.
"It's not surprising that this person, with his questionable character, would betray his faith for personal gain. However, he values his family highly. Even if he genuinely submits to the Lord, the ties of family will make him hesitate. I don't believe he would be so selfish as to abandon his wife and children..."
Through the two people's descriptions, Li Zhu gained some initial understanding of Su Fengji. Since Xiao Baga had sent back a message, the matter should be pretty much confirmed...
"Your Highness, has Jiang Moyan made any moves lately?"
Li Zhu suddenly remembered that Jiang Moyan was still by his side. This guy was bound to do something unexpected, after all, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. If it weren't for this guy betraying him last time, so many people wouldn't have died...
"Your Highness, there has been no action..."
Nothing happened? Li Zhu stroked his chin. Jiang Moyan's reaction surprised him. After all, it was impossible for a bad person to suddenly become a good person, but the other party had done it anyway, which was definitely not normal...
Suddenly a soldier ran in and shouted.
"Report! There are Japanese ninjas requesting an audience outside His Highness's gate..."
Li Zhu paused for a moment, then nodded and said
"Let him in..."
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Divine Envoy..."
"Hmm, what brings you back? Why isn't it Little Baka who's back?"
Li Zhu asked in confusion, still thinking that the little bastard was deliberately avoiding him...
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Mr. Takeda is currently monitoring Su Fengji. I have returned to bring Su Fengji's family back..."
Hearing the other party's words, everyone in the room was stunned. They had thought Su Fengji was only feigning allegiance, after all, he cared so much about his family. They just hadn't expected that his family would arrive before Su Fengji. This was something no one had anticipated. Now, even if Su Fengji didn't want to rebel, he had no choice but to…
"Okay, I understand. You did a good job..."
Li Zhu nodded, showing considerable approval of the ninjas' operational capabilities...
"My lord, I shall take my leave now..."
The Japanese ninja respectfully withdrew...
