Chapter 1545: Taking Advantage of Enmity

ew days, the coldest time of winter wasn't when it snowed, but when the snow melted. The father and son stood with their hands tucked in their pockets at the front gate of the East Palace, shivering f...Chapter 1545: Taking Advantage of Gratitude

Wu Yong understood very well that if this matter of his were to leak out, given King Ning's temperament, he wouldn't even dream of keeping his position as the iron-clad commander now. Instead, he would surely face a gruesome end - being dismembered and fed to horses.

Not only will you be finished, but your whole family will be finished too.

So he absolutely cannot let this happen.

And preserving secrets, silencing them permanently is always the quickest and most cost-effective way.

If Zhou Changshou were still the first strategist of Ning Wangfu, Wu Yong wouldn't dare to harbor murderous intentions towards Zhou Changshou, even if he had ten thousand guts.

To be frank, Zhou Changshou was still the first advisor to Ning Wangfu. He didn't need someone like him, a mere thousand-household general. There were plenty of people vying for his favor every day.

Now, Zhou Changshou is not!

He was not only not the powerful and trusted chief advisor of King Ning, but also the number one enemy in King Ning's eyes, an enemy he wanted to kill with all his might.

The change in status allowed Wu Yong to no longer bow and scrape before Zhou Changshou, and even dared to harbor murderous intentions.

Zhou Changshou saw Wu Yong's changing expressions and calmly said, "Do you want to kill me"

Wu Yong grinned fiercely: "Do you think I dare not"

"Of course you wouldn't."

Zhou Changshou spread his hands and said, "You guess why this fallen man dared to come before you alone, threatening you with the kindness of five years ago"

"Is there a possibility that I have already placed this secret in a secure location, ensuring that once I am deceased, these secrets will be immediately delivered to King Ning's desk"

Zhou Changshou's words caused Wu Yong's heart, which had been consumed by murderous intent, to rapidly turn cold.

His mind also calmed down.

Fixing his gaze on Zhou Changshou, Wu Yong paced back and forth, unable to make up his mind.

He didn't know if Zhou Changshou was telling the truth.

But putting himself in Zhou Changshou's position, Wu Yong immediately came to a terrible conclusion.

Zhou Changshou would absolutely not run to my face without any reason at all.

This person, after all, is the Ning Wang's first advisor and most trusted confidante.

His methods, most people under King Ning had seen.

Even Wu Yong himself benefited from this.

gritting his teeth, wu yong said in a deep voice: "What do you want Money Or shall I cover your escape from the northwest"

Zhou Changshou readily surrendered when he saw Wu Yong, showing no surprise whatsoever.

The vast difference in intelligence between the two made Zhou Changshou's victory over Wu Yong feel hollow and unfulfilling.

"None of them."

Zhou Changshou smiled and replied, "The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun will cooperate with the prince's battle plan. Do you understand"

"Naturally clear."

Wu Yong said calmly, “Today, the Prince personally announced this order. However, the Prince also said that the Crown Prince promised that he would definitely not put the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry on the front lines.”

"Very good, we were all honest. This is the foundation of a good working relationship." Zhou Changshou nodded in satisfaction and said.

Wu Yong impatiently said, "Just tell me what you want me to do. This is you taking advantage of my kindness and talking about cooperation. I'm not as insincere as you!"

Zhou Changshou didn't get angry either. He said softly, "It doesn't matter what you say."

"The first thing I want you to do is to report to me, in minute detail, every order, deployment, and plan made within the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry, every day."

Wu Yong suddenly woke up.

Intelligence-wise, he is indeed no match for Zhou Changshou.

But he is a career military man, still a high-ranking officer.

Their awareness of military affairs far exceeds that of ordinary people.

He instantly sensed from Zhou Changshou's request that his ambitions were greater than anyone had imagined! personal guards and surrender their weapons.A patrol of soldiers stopped the general who was about to ride in, saying with meticulous care.The general who was blocked was tall and strong, his face im...
