Chapter 628 Another bloody storm!
Can not go back.

There's no going back.

The military commander wanted to kill you, had already taken action and was certain of your death, but you brazenly ran back. Were you showing off?
Is this disrespecting the military minister?
How are we supposed to get along in the future?

The military minister was embarrassed and very scared.

The military minister thought, since this is so awkward, let's just kill them one more time.

This time, we must complete it with high quality and quantity, and make sure you die as badly as possible.

Chop off the head, dismember the limbs, dig out the heart and lungs, shred the kidneys and stir-fry.
That sounds painful.

"Did you plan this in advance?" Guo said through gritted teeth.

I was filled with resentment, yet there was nothing I could do.

The fall from a high-ranking, lucrative security bureau chief to a prisoner is truly staggering.

Whether they could survive if they fell into the hands of the Tang bandits was uncertain.

This kid is no pushover.

The wolf cubs that migrated from their old homeland were indeed as fierce and cunning as wolves.

"Scheme?" Tang Fei said with a mocking look, "I can scheme against you, I can scheme against myself, but I can't scheme against Shen Wuxiang."

"If he hadn't 'deliberately' wanted to sacrifice you, would I have invited you here? I didn't give the order to bomb the starship."

"."

Guo was speechless with anger.

He had figured it out: this was a game of strategy played between Tang Fei and Shen Wuxiang from afar.

Shen Wuxiang never intended to let Sheng Jing leave, so if there was a reason to kill him, he would gladly accept it.

If something can't be used by me, then destroy it. There's nothing wrong with that.

Meanwhile, Tang Fei had already colluded with Bai Xingjian, playing a game of "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass," deceiving Shen Wuxiang while also rescuing Sheng Jing's family.

Saving myself was just a side effect.

Tang Fei said something very true: Don't overestimate your importance to others.

Given Guo Nu's worth, he is not worth these people designing a 'kidnapping' route specifically for him.

That's really sad.

"I'm very curious, how did you persuade Bai Xingjian?" Guo Nu looked at Tang Fei and couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "Bai Xingjian enjoys the deep trust of Military Minister Shen Wuxiang, who not only entrusts him with important responsibilities but also grooms him as the future head of the Censorate."

"Once Shen Wuxiang has secured his position as the ruler, he will become the first head of the new dynasty's Censorate, wielding power no less than Yan Wenli did back then. What can you offer him?"

This question had been weighing on Guo Nu's mind for a long time, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it today.

He could understand Sheng Jing's defection to the enemy, but what right did Bai Xingjian have?

Even Bai Xingjian has defected to the enemy.
Who in the world is not familiar with the righteous army?

“I said that once I win, the Bai family will have a chance to join the ranks of the nine great families.”

Guo Nu stared wide-eyed at Tang Fei and asked, "Really?"

"I mean what I say." Tang Fei nodded seriously.

Guo Nu was somewhat tempted and said, "Since you've come to talk to me, you must have some ulterior motive, right?"

"Of course," Tang Fei said with a smile. "The position of Director of the Security Bureau is one of great power and influence, and you know a lot of core secrets. I don't think you would be so stingy as to hold anything back from me, would you?"

"If I fully cooperate, what can you promise me?" Guo asked angrily.

"I promise you won't die."

"."

"not enough?"

Guo remained silent, even appearing somewhat sullen.

“I’m not a petty person. If you’re willing to cooperate fully, I’ll guarantee that your Guo family will be among the nine great families.”

"Really?" Guo asked excitedly.

Those are the nine great families, standing at the pinnacle of the imperial power pyramid.

Even as the director of the Security Bureau, his power was still unattainable for the nine major families. Whether it was the Qin family, the Yu family, or the fallen Lu family, they could crush him with a flick of their little finger.

Their security bureau can act arrogantly in front of others, but when they encounter members of the nine major families, they have to stay far away like wild dogs.

"It's true."

After a long period of excitement, Guo Nu looked at Tang Fei with suspicion and asked, "Can the nine major families accommodate so many people?"

"If all else fails, then the top ten families, or even the eleventh family. Director Guo shouldn't mind having a few more friends, right?"

"."

Listen, can you hear what people are saying?
Tang Fei didn't care about Guo Nu's thoughts and said, "If Director Guo has no objections, I'll have someone come over to talk to you?"

"Okay," Guo Nu nodded in agreement.

When you're at someone's mercy, you have no choice but to submit.

Tang Fei stood up and looked down at Guo Nu: "Director Guo, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation. Serving the Lord."

Guo Nu said humbly.

He can't be ungrateful when others treat him with courtesy.

Given his current situation, why should he cooperate with others?

Get back to work, you oxen and horses.

Their security bureau had already received intelligence that the bandit group members all referred to Tang the bandit as 'Lord'.

When I first saw this message, I dismissed it with disdain. What kind of nobody is qualified to call themselves a lord?
现在
You know what, it actually sounds pretty good when you call it out.

This attitude is quite good; no wonder Shen Wuxiang would use such a 'mediocre talent'.

It provides a lot of emotional value.

Tang Fei patted Guo Nu's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Director Guo. When victory comes, I will personally recommend you for credit."

"Thank you, my lord. From now on, I will follow your lead and go wherever you command. Please send someone over to coordinate with me. I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

"."

Tang Fei turned and left, and Bai Wuxin, who was standing in the corner, quietly followed him.

"Why not tell him the real reason why Bai Xingjian has pledged allegiance?" Bai Wuxin asked.

Tang Fei said irritably, "You should show some respect to your Bai family elders. I can call you Bai Xingjian, but you have to call me Uncle Bai Qi."

Bai Wuxin ignored Tang Fei's teasing and said, "Are you really going to give him an important position?"

Bai Wuxin possessed information about Guo Nu, and his understanding of Guo Nu was far deeper than Guo Nu's understanding of him.

He despised and scorned this person.

"Re-employ him?" Tang Fei smiled, his eyes narrowed, and said, "He can betray Shen Wuxiang, and he can betray me too. It's just that his position is rather special, and he should have a lot of key intelligence in his hands. Let the intelligence team talk to him more, and get as much information as they can out of him."

"Yes," Bai Wuxin replied, "You still allow him to be included among the nine great families?"

"What nine great families are there?"

"." Bai Wuxin.

Just a moment ago they were shouting about the nine major families and the ten major families, but now they're denying it all?
Where is his character? Where are his bottom line?
Not even a single thread?
Tang Fei's expression was cold and stern as he said in a deep voice, "The instability of the imperial regime is mainly due to the overwhelming power of the powerful clans."

"They control the political, economic, and resource lifelines; they have money, troops, and high-tech capabilities."

"The emperors of the Zhong royal family could only win them over and divide them, but dared not truly break ties with them."

"The reason the Tang family was forcibly eliminated back then was not only due to the attitude of the Zhong royal family, but also the support and tacit approval of the nine major families. Because no one wanted to see a more powerful force rise."

"Therefore, the Tang family was bound to lose, and they deserved to lose."

Tang Fei looked at Bai Wuxin with a sincere and earnest expression and said, "Xiao Bai, we can't make the same mistake again and follow the same path as the Tang family."

Bai Wuxin trembled with fear as he listened. He knew that this was Tang Fei's future policy strategy, and only his most trusted confidants could hear it.

Once implemented, it will once again lead to bloodshed and chaos.

Bai Wuxin's face was ashen, and he said coldly, "I don't understand these things, all I know is how to kill. You tell me who to kill, and I'll kill them."
