Chapter 345 Cooperation Is Not Impossible

The thin-faced old man squinted his eyes, with a calculating light shining in his eyes.

"None of this is important... What's important is that this information is enough to ruin Ning Chen's reputation."

"He has an affair with the Empress of Wu Kingdom. If Your Majesty finds out, he will die miserably."

The fair and plump young man thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "Although the news is accurate, there is no evidence and there is nothing we can do about Ning Chen."

"That person is already investigating!"

"If Ning Chen really had an affair with the Empress of Wu Kingdom, would there be any evidence of such a thing?"

The thin-faced old man's eyes flashed, "If we use this matter to win over Ning Chen, we might be able to succeed... Ning Chen's ability is obvious to all. If he is willing to help us, why worry about the big thing happening?"

The fair and plump young man shook his head, "This guy has a wild temper and has no respect for the royal family. Only Your Majesty can tolerate his character... Ning Chen is too difficult to control, so it's better to get rid of him."

The thin-faced old man smiled and said, "It will be too late to get rid of him after we use him to achieve great things."

The fat young man was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

The thin-faced old man said, "I'll try to get in touch with him."

"No, you will be exposed!"

"Perhaps I have been exposed...Immediately ask Zhan Ning whether it was me who suggested it. With Ning Chen's wisdom, he must have doubted me."

...

The next day, Ning Chen reluctantly got up from Yudie's soft and delicate body.

"Why did Ning Lang get up so early today?"

Yudie opened her eyes, her voice was lazy and attractive.

Ning Chen propped up his body and leaned forward again, "I have something to do!"

As he spoke, his hands and feet became dishonest.

After pulling Yudie to do morning exercises, Ning Chen left Jiaofangsi and rode straight to the palace.

At this time, the court had just dispersed.

A carriage, driving slowly.

"drive!!!"

With the sound of hoofbeats, the tall and handsome black horse overtook the carriage and blocked its way.

The coachman stopped the carriage and turned around and said, "Master, it's Mr. Ninghou!"

The car curtain opened, revealing a thin face.

Immediately, Shangshu Ling Li Hongzhuo, who had a thin face and a goat's beard, stepped out of the carriage with the support of the driver, stepping on the horse stool.

He cupped his hands and said, "Master Ning!"

Ning Chen rode up to Li Hongzhuo and looked at him condescendingly.

"Look at the bloodshot eyes under Mr. Li's eyes. You didn't rest last night, okay?"

Li Hongzhuo cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Ning for your concern. I slept very well last night."

Ning Chen chuckled lightly.

"Master Li, do we have no grudges?"

Li Hongzhuo smiled and said: "There was no resentment in the past, and there is no shame these days."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, "I agree that I have no complaints in the past, but it is debatable that I have no regrets these days... After all, Mr. Li almost ruined my reputation."

Li Hongzhuo waved his hand and signaled the driver to stay away.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Ning Chen, "Although Lord Ning is a Marquis, he is also the Silver Yi of the Supervision Department... The Supervision Department has never interacted with officials, so Lord Ning met me like this. Aren't you afraid of being criticized?" "

Ning Chen laughed, "Ning has always been upright, behaves upright, and sits upright...different from those villains who only know how to do tricks behind their backs."

Li Hongzhuo smiled and said: "Whether it's a dirty move or an overt move, as long as it works, it's a good move."

Ning Chen looked sarcastic, "Did the good trick Master Li said work?"

Li Hongzhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, hiding the sharp look under his eyes, "Master Li, did you admit it?"

Li Hongzhuo looked natural and said with a smile: "I don't admit it, wouldn't the Marquis doubt me?"

"It seems that the people targeted by the Marquis will not end well?"

Ning Chen looked down at him, "It seems that Mr. Li's chess piece did not jump out by himself, but was thrown into the open."

"I want to know who is the person behind Mr. Li? It's pointless to talk about this, and there's no point in hiding it."

Li Hongzhuo smiled and said: "When the time comes, the Marquis will naturally see you."

"I wonder when the time Mr. Li said will come?"

"The time will come naturally."

Ning Chen smiled slightly, "It seems I have to invite Mr. Li to the Supervision Department for a cup of tea."

Li Hongzhuo shook his head, "Although I am not as distinguished as the Marquis, I am still a high-ranking official... The Marquis wants to invite me to the Supervision Department, and I need your Majesty's approval."

"But since the Marquis invites you, it's better to be respectful than to obey... But when the time comes, I will tell you some news that is unfavorable to the Marquis, and I hope that the Marquis will forgive you."

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows, "News that is bad for me? For example? I'll give you a chance to pick out one or two things to scare me."

Li Hongzhuo said with a smile: "For example... the relationship between the Marquis and the Empress of Wu Kingdom."

Ning Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.

He stared at Li Hongzhuo for a while and suddenly laughed.

"Master Li, you know a lot, don't you?"

Li Hongzhuo stared at Ning Chen, "Did the Marquis admit it?"

Ning Chen nodded, "There's nothing I can't admit...Yes, I slept with the Empress of Wu Kingdom."

Li Hongzhuo looked shocked!

"The Marquis just admitted it, and you are not afraid that I will go to His Majesty to interfere with you... This matter is enough to make the Marquis irrecoverable."

Ning Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"You are using dirty tricks to ruin my reputation... This matter between me and the Empress of Wu Kingdom is such a good opportunity. If you had evidence, you would have gone to see His Majesty long ago. Can you wait until now?"

Li Hongzhuo's expression froze slightly.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "You have tried so hard to ruin my reputation. What has happened to me?"

"Lord Li, you might as well tell me. If I stand in your way, I will try to avoid you in the future!"

Li Hongzhuo was delighted. Ning Chen was showing weakness.

"Marquis Ning is so smart. He should understand that those who can be used by me can be kept, and those who cannot be used by me can be wiped out?"

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

Li Hongzhuo bowed his hands, "How dare I threaten Marquis Ning... I am just explaining the pros and cons to the Marquis!"

"The Marquis is now in great glory, but His Majesty will get old one day... Not every emperor can tolerate the Marquis's character of ignoring rules and disrespecting imperial power."

"But I can guarantee that even if His Majesty is gone in the future... Marquis Ning can still be in great glory."

Ning Chen was silent for a long time.

Li Hongzhuo was not in a hurry either. He looked at him with a smile on his face.

After a while, Ning Chen spoke: "What can I do for you?"

The smile on Li Hongzhuo's face became more and more intense, "Marquis Ning is indeed a smart man who knows how to prepare for a rainy day."

"If there is anything that needs the help of Marquis Ning, I will send someone to notify you!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Sir Li, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

"Marquis Ning is so smart that he will never do such a stupid thing... I am not alone, and killing me won't solve the problem."

"After all, I am not the only one who knows about the matter between the Marquis and the Empress of Wu... Moreover, evidence may be found one day."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "That makes sense... Sir Li is really an expert."

"Hmm?"

Li Hongzhuo frowned. Ning Chen also said these two words in the court, but he didn't know what they meant?

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Ning fought on the battlefield just for glory and wealth... If Sir Li can really protect Ning's glory for life, cooperation is not impossible."

"Sir Li, if there is anything you can use Ning, just speak up!"
