"Can you please stop bringing up your manhood?! Can't we just have some fun?!"
Cao Zhengchun's heart, which had finally managed to stabilize, was beginning to feel uneasy again.
He squeezed his legs together tightly and quickly explained that if Chen Yan joined the Eastern Depot, he could become his private retainer and wouldn't need to be castrated.
Chen Yan shook his head again, indicating that he did not want to join the court's pursuit of fame and fortune.
Cao Zhengchun was very disappointed, but he was not completely discouraged. He tempted him, saying, "Master Chen, you may not know, but the Dragon Guard Manor is doomed. All four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang have disappeared, and that old scoundrel Zhu Wushi has lost his wings and his strength has been greatly reduced!"
Furthermore, I have leverage over him and can put him in jail at any time.
Once he falls from power, the mere Six Doors will be unable to hold up the entire Ming Dynasty court alone. At that time, our family will be in charge of the entire court.
Master Chen, if you join the Eastern Depot, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory, countless delicacies, and endless silks and satins.
Even after I, the Grand Eunuch, am gone, the Eastern Depot can be handed over to you, making you the number one person in the Eastern Depot!
So, are these conditions good?
Master Chen, are you interested? How about joining us?
Chen Yan did not answer Cao Zhengchun's question, but stared at him intently, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
Cao Zhengchun felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze, and asked nervously, "Master Chen, why are you looking at me like that?"
Could it be that what I said before was wrong?
Chen Yan unfolded his folding fan, shook it, and then picked up his teacup, gesturing for Wuqing to pour him some tea.
After Wuqing poured the tea, he took a delicious sip, then looked at Cao Zhengchun and said with a serious smile, "What you said, Eunuch Cao, can't be said to be 100% wrong, but it can at least be said to be daydreaming."
I'm very curious, how have you managed to remain the head of the Eastern Depot for so many years, so naive and easily fooled?
Cao Zhengchun was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Master Chen, I, where exactly did I go wrong? (Zhao De) beg, beg you to tell me!"
Chen Yan calmly waved his folding fan a few times: "What you just said isn't a matter of where you went wrong, but rather that there wasn't a single thing that was right!"
First of all, although the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow have defected from the Dragon Guard Manor, it has not had much impact on Zhu Wushi's strength.
He kept the four secret agents a secret because he never considered them as absolute confidants, nor did he ever place his hopes on them.
To put it simply, Zhu Wuguang made preparations beyond your imagination for that golden dragon throne. Not only did he secretly possess information on the crimes of the Ten Generals, but he also prepared for ruthless characters such as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.
More importantly, if I may be so blunt, Eunuch Cao, you have completely underestimated Zhu Wushi's personal strength.
If you fight him, he can drain you of your flesh in less than twenty moves, and your strength will become part of his!
Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Cao Zhengchun's expression changed drastically.
His eyes were filled with shock and horror!
He didn't expect Zhu Wushi to be even more ambitious than him, wanting to seize the throne!
What he didn't expect was that Zhu Wushi was even more secretive than him, and even the four secret agents were just targets that Zhu Wushi put out in the open to attract attention.
"This, this Zhu Tiedan, is really, really insidious!"
"This...this very supervisor almost fell victim to his trick!"
Cao Zhengchun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Thinking back to my previous naive ideas, I felt a surge of fear and despair. (I'm offering 1000 despair points!)
Chapter 124 Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun!
Seeing Cao Zhengchun's anxiety, Chen Yan continued, "Not only is Zhu Wushi much more powerful than you imagine, but your Eastern Depot is also very unstable internally."
The Second Supervisor Liu Xi is ambitious. Do you really think he is willing to be subordinate to you?
He is currently lying low, only to collect the five Yang and two Yin martial arts furnaces. Once he has mastered the ultimate skill of absorbing power from a distance, the first person he will kill is you!
Let's not talk about the Second Supervisor Liu Xi.
Even your most trusted right-hand man, Iron Claw Flying Eagle, is actually an undercover agent planted by Zhu Wushi next to you.
Over the years, your every move has been under Zhu Wushi's surveillance, with absolutely no secrets. You still want to fight him?
"Heh, I think you're more likely to court death."
Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Cao Zhengchun's expression changed drastically once again!
He never expected that the Second Supervisor Liu Xi harbored malicious intentions, and that Iron Claw Flying Eagle, whom he trusted, was actually one of Zhu Wushi's men.
In an instant, Chen Yan felt terrified and on the verge of collapse, so he provided Chen Yan with another thousand collapse points.
but.
He was, after all, the Grand Supervisor of the Eastern Depot who had been in charge for many years, and he was quite experienced and composed in the face of danger.
After a brief period of panic, they quickly calmed down.
He looked at Chen Yan and knelt down with a thud!
Because he now realizes that, faced with the current crisis, only this calm and collected young man beside him can guide him and find a way to survive.
Think of this.
He took out another silver ingot and tremblingly handed it to Chen Yan, pleading earnestly and pitifully, "Master Chen, please, please save me! I'm surrounded by enemies on all sides. What can I do to save my life?!"
Chen Yan calmly took a sip of tea, accepted the silver, and put it in his pocket.
He laughed and said, "Chief Supervisor Cao, I don't know if you're truly confused or pretending. You have such a powerful patron by your side, yet you come kneeling down and begging me for guidance." 710
I have a life-saving leg by my side.
Cao Zhengchun was startled.
I haven't figured it out yet.
Chen Yan smiled slightly and pointed his finger towards the sky.
Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed, a thought struck him, and a bright light suddenly shone in his eyes as he exclaimed in surprise, "Master Chen, the... the big, thick-legged man beside me you are... the Emperor?!"
"Naturally, it is the current emperor."
Chen Yan smiled.
"Throughout history, the people who have gained the emperor's trust the most are none other than the eunuchs by his side."
Because eunuchs depended on them for survival and had no ability to produce offspring, they were considered their natural confidants.
As long as you are loyal to the emperor and always stand firmly by his side, even though the emperor usually doesn't show off, he has many loyal followers who can definitely save your life in a critical moment.
It can even give you a lifetime of wealth and glory…
Ah! That's it! That's it!
His Majesty is my greatest protector and my strongest support. As long as I am loyal to His Majesty, I don't care whether it is Zhu Wushi or Liu Xi. If they want to harm me, they should first ask His Majesty for permission!
Since I can't have children anyway, and being emperor isn't very meaningful, I might as well be loyal to His Majesty and secure a lifetime of peace and wealth!
Having figured all this out, Cao Zhengchun's worries vanished, and he bowed deeply to Chen Yan in gratitude.
Finally, he left, expressing his deepest gratitude!
Chen Yan watched his back.
He couldn't help but smile and shake his head, inwardly sighing. The affairs of the imperial court were truly troublesome; various forces were vying for power and status. Wasn't that exhausting...?
Why not just lie down and enjoy life...?
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Wuqing looked at the languid Chen Yan, then suddenly walked over and thanked him sincerely.
at this time.
Her eyes sparkled, filled with gratitude and an indescribable affection.
Chen Yan looked at her in surprise.
He touched her forehead again, frowning, "Are you alright? You're acting strange today. Why are you suddenly thanking me again?"
Wuqing slapped Chen Yan's hand, somewhat reproachfully saying, "I'm being serious with you, don't act silly."
He paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Actually, although I left the Six Doors, I grew up there and still care about everyone there."
After learning that Zhu Wushi was a master strategist, I was really worried about the Six Doors. I wondered if they could deal with the evil forces of Zhu Wushi, the Eastern Depot, and Cai Xiang.
And you, the shopkeeper, just now persuaded Cao Zhengchun to be loyal to His Majesty with just a few words.
This put the previously tilted scales back on track, and the crisis facing the Six Doors was resolved.
So, that's why I want to thank you..."
Chen Yan looked at her with a smile, and after she finished speaking, he nodded: "In that case, you really should thank me properly."
However, simply offering empty words of thanks is rather insincere.
"How...how do you want me to thank you?"
Wuqing's face suddenly flushed slightly, before Chen Yan could answer.
After glancing around and making sure no one was around, she gently kissed Chen Yan on the cheek, then blushed and ran away with her heart pounding...
Chen Yan watched her panicked back, like a frightened little rabbit, and then savored the cool, soft touch on his cheek.
I felt a mix of emotions.
