Volume 10 Chapter 650

Chapter 650

Gao Mucheng, who had just stood up, immediately knelt on the ground again, with his butt sticking out and his forehead on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "It is my blessing to be able to work in the dark and relieve the king's worries. I dare not ask for any more rewards. Latest chapter.《()》

"Haha!" Tang Yin laughed, pulled him up again, and asked with a smile: "I heard from Cheng Jin that you planted the blood spirit vine on a person and turned that person into something...'vine man', is it called 'vine man'?"

"Reporting to the king, that... that was just a name I made up on a whim."

"Haha, it sounds quite creative. If there is a chance, I would like to read the full text." Tang Yin said happily. It was the first time he heard of plants that could grow on people, and he was inevitably curious.

"Filthy things, I am afraid they will dirty the king's eyes." Gao Mucheng said cautiously, but he was full of pride in his heart.

He was originally worried that the king would blame him for his cruel methods, but unexpectedly, the king not only did not blame him, but praised him, although he did not quite understand the specific meaning of the word "creativity".

Perhaps it was the same smell! Tang Yin was not a kind man, he himself was also a very cruel person. After hearing about Gao Mucheng's story, he only felt fresh, but did not think it was shocking, let alone uncomfortable.

"Reward for merit and punishment for fault. This is the rule of our Feng country. This time you have made great contributions, and you deserve to be rewarded." Tang Yin was talking, and Ah San came over and whispered in his ear: "King, Lord Gu Chen wants to see you."

"Got it." Tang Yin nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at Gao Mucheng kneeling on the ground, thinking for a long time without saying a word.

"King?" Ah San reminded in a low voice.

Tang Yin hummed and said to Gao Mucheng, "Mucheng, you go back first."

Gao Mucheng rolled his eyes and asked, "If the king wants to reward me, then... let me be the deputy of Lord Gu!"

His sudden words made Tang Yin stumped, and he asked suspiciously, "Lord Gu? Which Lord Gu?"

"It's Lord Gu Chen!"

Hearing this, Tang Yin immediately narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Gao Mucheng. The latter was shocked and knelt down hurriedly, saying, "I don't know why Lord Gu was transferred to the imperial court by the king, but I think that the king will never abandon Lord Gu. There may be other tasks. I am willing to assist Lord Gu and do my best to complete the task assigned by the king."

Gao Mucheng was gambling at this time. As a member of the secret arrow team, he was well-informed. Since Gu Chen was transferred to the imperial court, he had not participated in the imperial court's affairs for many times. Instead, he often went to the palace to meet the king secretly. He did not know the specific reason, but he was sure that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. There must be another hidden reason for Gu Chen's transfer to the imperial court. He was betting that Gu Chen was doing something extremely important and extremely secret for the king, and at the same time, he was betting that the king would value his ability.

Staring at Gao Mucheng for a long time, Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth, smiled, and asked: "Did you hear Ah San's report just now?"

Ah San looked straight at Gao Mucheng, waiting for his answer. He was puzzled. His voice was just light, and there should be no third person who heard it except the king.

Gao Mucheng replied: "I didn't hear the report of the three generals, but I have learned lip reading before, so I can tell what the three generals reported."

"I see!" Tang Yin smiled and said, "There are many surprising things about you!"

"Please forgive me, my king!"

"Forget it." Tang Yin waved his hand and asked him to get up, and then said to Ah San: "Please invite Gu Chen over!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ah San took another deep look at Gao Mucheng, then turned and left, and couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: This person is really terrible!

Not long after, Gu Chen came over, and when he saw Gao Mucheng present, he was stunned for a moment, but still knelt down and saluted, saying: "I see your majesty."

"Is it done?" Tang Yin asked. Gao Mucheng stood aside with his head bowed in a proper manner, not even daring to breathe, but his ears were stretched straight, for fear of missing a word.

"Uh..." Gu Chen glanced at Gao Mucheng with concern, and didn't say anything.

Tang Yin raised his head and said, "You can talk about it."

Gu Chen didn't know why Gao Mucheng was there, but since the king had already spoken, he couldn't say anything more. He took out a booklet from his arms, handed it to Tang Yin carefully, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the list I have re-drafted."

Tang Yin took it, turned around and walked to the stone bench, sat down, opened the list, and looked at it carefully.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but the more he read, the more thrilling he felt. He murmured, "Shangguan Ya? If I remember correctly, he... he should be the steward of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Yes, my king!"

"You... you included him in the Shadow?"

"Yes. Didn't my king say that anyone can be monitored by the Shadow?"

"He has been the steward of the Shangguan family for decades!"

"Yes, my king."

"How did you win him over?"

"Reporting to my king, everyone has weaknesses and preferences. As long as you grasp these two points, prescribe the right medicine, and use both kindness and force, you will succeed in 100% of cases." Gu Chen said with his head down.

"Unexpected, really unexpected..." Looking at Gu Chen's newly drafted roster, Tang Yin shook his head from time to time. It can be seen from this roster that Gu Chen has extended the tentacles of shadow into the mansions of the ministers in the court. went.

Gu Chen said seriously: "Your Majesty, the Shangguan family has a right prime minister who is in charge of the government, and a general who has the highest prestige in the military and is known as the God of War. The military and political power is gathered in the hands of a brother. Once there is a change in the heart, it will be harmful. The situation is unimaginable, so I think it is necessary to keep an eye on Shangguan's family and monitor it at all times. I hope your Majesty will be considerate."

"Alas!" Tang Yin sighed and said with a wry smile: "What you did is not wrong. Besides, since I gave the shadow to you, just go ahead and do it!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The new roster that Gu Chen handed over this time was far beyond Tang Yin's expectations. Although he was surprised, he also felt a little guilty in his heart.

Yuan Ji, Yuan Rang and other ministers are all heroes and brothers who have made great achievements for themselves. It is indeed unjustifiable to have spies around them, but Gu Chen cannot be blamed for not handling this matter correctly, so he can only leave it like this for now.

As for Gao Mucheng, he was standing aside at this moment, beads of sweat flowing down his cheeks, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

Now he regretted it, regretted his own cleverness. He would rather not hear a word from beginning to end, because he has realized that what he is hearing now is the highest level of top secret. If the king does not want him to participate in it, Then there is only one end for him in the end, death.

Snapped! Tang Yin closed the roster and was about to give it back to Gu Chen. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of Gao Mucheng, who was trembling all over. He handed the roster in front of him and asked with a smile: "Mucheng, are you interested in seeing it?" Look who are all here?"

thump! Gao Mucheng couldn't hold on any longer, so he knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said urgently: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Tang Yin flicked the roster and threw it directly in front of Gao Mucheng, and said softly: "Didn't you just say that you would be Mr. Gu's deputy and work for me together? You don't even know who your subordinates are, so how can you do this? What about my errands?”

There was even more sweat on Gao Mucheng's face, dripping down like raindrops. His buzzing head also completely stopped functioning, leaving only a mechanical kowtow and he said repeatedly: "I don't dare..."

"Hmph!" Tang Yin stood up, walked to Gao Mucheng, and said, "What I give you is a reward. What you ask me for is a reward!"

Gao Mucheng was so frightened that his three souls almost flew out of his body. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, spare your life -"

Tang Yin ignored him and turned to look at Gu Chen, asking, "Gu Chen, do you know him?"

Gu Chen nodded and said sincerely: "I have seen both sides of General Gao before."

"What do you think of his abilities?"

"There are no weak soldiers under the Dark Arrow banner." Gu Chen answered very skillfully and did not express his position directly.

"Then, how about letting him be your deputy?" Tang Yin asked tentatively. Now is the time when Shadow has just established its foundation and Gu Chen's role is crucial. He doesn't want to affect Gu Chen's emotions just because of Gao Mucheng.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment and said seriously: "With the assistance of General Gao, I will be even more powerful when doing my work."

"Haha!" Tang Yin laughed when he heard this. He turned around and said to Gao Mucheng who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up! Since Master Gu Chen is willing to ask for you, I have nothing to say. From now on, you will be the one who makes the assassination and the shadow. People, you have to be careful when doing things on both sides. Of course, you have to keep your mouth shut about the shadow matter. Once it is leaked, even if you have ten heads, I won't be able to chop it off. "

"My subordinate, thank you so much, Your Majesty, and thank you, Lord Gu, for your support!"

Gao Mucheng now felt what was called a sudden ups and downs. Just now he thought his life was in danger, and now he was suddenly involved in the important top secret of Shadow. It was really a combination of ice and fire!

"I guess you don't know much about the shadow yet. Gu Chen, please explain it to him later so that he can get familiar with it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gu Chen responded with cupped hands. It is indeed very difficult for him to take charge of so many people's shadows by himself, and he feels powerless. Now that Gao Mucheng is here to assist him, he feels that he will be much more relaxed in the future.

Tang Yin pondered for a while and said: "Shadow has just been established, and there are many things to be done. You can't stay in Dark Arrow all the time. How about this? You go back and inform Cheng Jin that I have kept you as an errand in the palace. In this way, even if you often If you don’t exist, it won’t arouse any suspicion.”
