Chapter 397 Really fighting?

Yan Wenli glared and said angrily: "What are you afraid of? Can I eat you?"

"It would be better if you just ate me. That way I could die quickly."

Tang Fei became familiar with Yan Wenli and got to know him a little bit.

Being casual in front of him occasionally will make him feel close to you and treat you as his own.

If you make reports in front of him in an orderly manner all day long, he will not think there is anything wrong with you, but it is only limited to a normal superior-subordinate relationship.

Those who deliver tea to the leader’s office all day long are definitely good colleagues, but those who can take tea out of the leader’s office must be the leader’s trusted confidants.

Bandit Tang is using his own way to subtly become Yan Wenli's confidant.
Big trouble!

"Why? Are you feeling guilty?"

Sure enough, Yan Wenli didn't care about the way Tang Fei spoke.

He's used to it.

"Dean, I didn't steal, but I do feel guilty. I led people to assist the Security Bureau in solving a case, and everyone else was missing limbs, but I was safe and sound, without even a scratch on my skin. How could you not be suspicious?"

"To be honest, I just came back from the Security Bureau. Shen Wuxiang has been interrogating me for a long time. At that time, I had a feeling that if I gave a bad answer, Shen Wuxiang might cut me into pieces."

"What? Calling the military minister by his first name? That's not respectful at all."

Tang Fei looked at Yan Wenli seriously and said, "Dean, stop pretending. I know you hate Shen Wuxiang."

Yan Wenli raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you can still know what's on my mind?"

"In the past, the discipline inspection within the army was also handled by our Supervisory Office. How much power does that have? Later, after Shen Wuxiang secured his position as the military minister, he forcibly drove our Supervisory Office out and set up an internal security bureau to let his own people supervise their own people."

"Hehehe, the dean has no idea about the barbarian Shen Wuxiang's behavior of snatching the cake? Who would like such a strong person?"

"You kid" Yan Wenli was stunned for a moment, but he didn't deny it: "You are really good at judging people."

He really didn't like Shen Wuxiang, just as Shen Wuxiang didn't like him.

When they reach a position like theirs, they all have a strong character and very clear political views.

What's more, there are some conflicts of interest, so it is unrealistic to want to like each other.

Tang Fei is trying to please the leader, who doesn't like him.
Why should I respect him?
"I care about the leader, think what the leader thinks, and worry about what the leader worries about."

"Stop flattering me and put your cleverness into doing real work. He doubts you, so do you think I will doubt you too?"

"You big shots all have one common problem, which is that you are extremely suspicious. He is suspicious, and I think with the wisdom of the dean, he will definitely doubt this too."

"It's okay, just ask. I'm mentally prepared and I promise to tell my boss everything I know."

"Does this mean that you've already made up an excuse? Are you just waiting for me to make a move?"

"I am loyal to the dean. How could I do such a thing? I would never dare to deceive the dean even if I deceive anyone else."

"Besides, with my IQ, can I deceive the dean?"

Yan Wenli nodded and said, "There is some truth in this statement. However, you don't need to worry."

"Shen Wuxiang has his reasons for doubting you. But I won't doubt you. You are from our Supervisory Council, and you belong to me, Yan Wenli. You are alive and well, isn't that a good thing?"

"I will only feel relieved if I have to come back like them, with an arm or a leg missing, or an eye blind? That doesn't make sense."

"Besides, if that really happens, I don't know how to explain it to Xiuxue."

"."

Tang Fei glanced at Yan Wenli with a resentful look in his eyes and said, "Dean, I've said before that the princess and I are pure and innocent friends. You can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air."

"Innocent? Haha."

"."

"Tell me what happened." Yan Wenli walked to the sofa and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Start from the beginning and tell me everything in detail. Don't miss any details."

"Yes, Dean."

Tang Fei knew that Yan Wenli needed inside information and the truth to judge the situation, so he started talking from the time they arrived at the Security Bureau, and continued until Lu Dongsheng dealt with the people and sent a car to take them out of the tunnel.

Of course, the content of his conversation with Lu Dongsheng in the backyard was naturally replaced.

After listening to this, Yan Wenli's expression became solemn.

"Is there any problem?" asked Tang Fei.

"Unexpected, but reasonable." Yan Wenli waved his hand and said, "Shen Wuxiang really has a big appetite."

"Before I left, I asked Shen Wuxiang if we were going to let it go. He said it was a serious matter and asked me to go back and wait for news. He would definitely seek justice for us." Tang Fei asked tentatively, "What is he going to do?"

"Encircle and suppress Luban Mountain."

"???"

Tang Fei stared at Yan Wenli with eyes wide open.

"Dare he?"

"Why not?" Yan Wenli asked back.

"A Luban Mountain is filled with a hundred thousand troops. Luban Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Lu family is good at mechanical devices. How many talents will be sacrificed to break through Luban Mountain?"

"Besides, if we use our military force against Luban Mountain, the situation will become chaotic and it will be difficult to deal with. Whether we win or lose, it will be a loss for the empire."

Yan Wenli looked at Tang Fei with a smile and said, "You have considered a lot."

"I eat the emperor's salary, serve the emperor, and worry about the emperor. I just did what a subject should do."

"Wow, this is a very high level of ideological awareness. I will talk to the king later."

Tang Fei smiled flatteringly and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, Dean. Please speak well of me. I am a soldier under your command. If I stand up, the Dean will be proud, right?"

Yan Wenli's skinny face was full of smiles, and he said, "What if you are an ungrateful wolf cub?"

"Dean, others may be able to move to another place, but I am from the old land and have nothing in this rising star. Apart from the dean, who else can sincerely help me?" "Besides, from the moment I put on this black dog skin, I knew that I couldn't take it off. If I wear it, I may survive. If I take it off, I will die."

"In the supervisory system, the dean is the tallest mountain. If I don't rely on you, who else can I rely on? If I betray you, where else can I go?"

"It seems you have figured it out."

"This concerns my future and my life, so I have to think more about it."

"I understand what you mean. I will naturally think of you when there is a chance. Whether you can seize it depends on your own ability and understanding."

"I will definitely not let the dean down." Tang Fei said respectfully.

"Haha, when you are in the officialdom, you must understand one thing. Don't look at what others say, but look at what they will do."

"Yes, yes, Dean, just watch slowly. I will definitely not let you down."

Yan Wenli waved his hand, not wanting to see Tang Fei's flattering look again: "Okay, you can go down and rest too. Settle the injured, treat those who need treatment, and compensate those who need compensation."

"Yes. Dean."

Tang Fei saluted respectfully.

After Tang Fei left the office, Yan Wenli slowly sipped the tea in the cup.

His expression was solemn and his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he said, "Prepare the car and go to Phoenix Palace."
-
Phoenix Palace.

Shen Wuxiang sat on the sofa with a dragon-like posture, his eyes sparkling. Even in a private gathering, he kept his spine straight.

Compared with Zhong Daolong, who was sitting opposite him and looked gentle and elegant with glasses and looked like a university professor, he had a more imposing aura and looked more like a monarch of a country.

Zhong Daolong picked up the whiskey bottle, looked at Shen Wuxiang and asked, "Military Prime Minister, would you like a drink?"

"Lord, I don't drink." Shen Wuxiang waved his hand to refuse.

Zhong Daolong was not angry either, he said with a smile: "If the military minister doesn't want to drink, I won't drink either."

He put the bottle back and asked, "What's the matter with you, Prime Minister?"

"The Lu family has no king or father, and has no regard for the laws of the country. I suggest encircling and suppressing them."

The smile on Zhong Daolong's face disappeared, and his expression became serious, as if he was hearing this for the first time. He asked uncertainly, "Encirclement and suppression?"

"Yes, encircle and suppress Luban Mountain."

"What's the reason?"

"The attack on the eldest prince involved the Lu family. I sent someone to the Mechanical Engineering Department to ask Lu Dongsheng to cooperate with the investigation. As a result, Lu Dongsheng fled for fear of crime and ran back to Luban Mountain in advance."

"I asked the Security Bureau to go to Luban Mountain to invite people. In order to show fairness, I specially invited the Supervisory Council to send people to assist. Unexpectedly, Lu Dongsheng violently resisted the law, killing seven people from the Security Bureau and injuring more than 300 people."

"In the Supervisory Office, except for Tang Fei, everyone else was injured."

"Tang Fei?"

"Yes, the person in charge of the Supervisory Council is Tang Fei."

"He's not hurt?"

"Unscathed."

Zhong Daolong stopped talking and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the dark brown leather sofa.

Shen Wuxiang did not speak either, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart,
After a long while, Zhong Daolong looked at Shen Wuxiang and said, "Do you know the seriousness of this matter?"

"know."

"Do you know the consequences of the encirclement and suppression of Luban Mountain?"

"Know?"

"The military minister still insists on doing this?"

"This is the result of joint discussions among members of the Military Committee."

The Military Committee is the highest administrative body within the Imperial Army, which governs and manages all affairs of the military system.

Including starting or ending a war.

The Phoenix Empire royal family does not hold positions within the Military Council, but they have representatives within it.

Moreover, the imperial monarch has a veto over the decisions of the Military Council.

So, although it seems that the imperial military power is in the hands of the Military Commission, it is actually in the hands of the royal family.

In fact, although it seems that the military power is in the hands of the royal family, in fact most of it is in the hands of the Military Commission or Shen Wuxiang.

The imperial family represented by the Zhong family, the direct line of the Shen family represented by Shen Wuxiang, and the military power held by other major families
The parties competed with each other and cooperated with each other to form a new military power map after Tang Li's death.

Zhong Daolong can veto Shen Wuxiang's proposal and reject the decision of the Military Commission.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, since it is the decision of the Military Committee, then follow your regulations."

Shen Wuxiang stood up, bowed deeply to Zhong Daolong, and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to disobey the emperor's authority and despise the laws of the country will be made to pay a heavy price by the imperial army."

"I believe in you and the empire's army." Zhong Daolong nodded solemnly.

Shen Wuxiang turned and left.

Yan Wenli came out from the inner room, walked over to Zhong Daolong and sat down, and asked, "Are you really going to fight?"

"Don't you find it strange? Lu Dongsheng was investigated by the Security Bureau, but he didn't come to the royal family to complain to me. Instead, he ran back to the Lu family's base camp as soon as possible. It's as if they were ready for a fight."

"So, testing the waters?"

Zhong Daolong picked up the whiskey bottle, poured a glass for himself and Yan Wenli, clinked the glasses, and said, "If I don't experience life and death, I won't know who will show off their acting skills in front of me."
