Chapter 177
It was because he was prudent that Diwu Qing Rou gave him this important assignment . Because their operation in Iron Cloud was in chaos, and Cheng Yun He was the most careful person capable of sorting out the root of this thing . Moreover, with his ability to remain objective toward enemies or friends, he was the best choice .
This person’s strength was being able tolerate things that others could not . Even if he was standing in front of the worst situation, he could calmly find an escape . While the most optimal solution might not be found, he would be able to find one the minimize loss .
Being angry as he was today, this was the first time in Cheng Yun He’s life .
“How did it become such a mess?” Yin Wu Fa was unable to accept it .
“The prime minister said that you were hoodwinked, and framed by the enemies!” Cheng Yun He sighed but immediately recovered his emotion and said, “If the enemies managed to fool you once, why not twice? Whether King of Hell Chu is a King level master or not is yet to be decided! This is the first issue!”
“Second, one of the reason we came here is Number One . But last night’s action has caused a stir, and Iron Cloud is now on guard . Even if Number One is still alive, we have lost all hopes of rescuing him!”
Cheng Yun he sighed, “If the prime minister knows about this, he will be really sad!”
“It’s only some Number One, leader of the spy network . He might be somewhat resourceful, but so what? After all, he can’t really affect the big picture . ” Kong Shang Xin replied in disdain .
“Do you know who Number One is?” Cheng Yen he looked at Kong Shang Xin sadly, “Your careless actions ruined Number One’s chance of survival . Could it be that you really have no clue about Number One’s origin?”
“Normally, these types of missions are taken care of by Golden Horse Riders Department . But the prime minister arranged this himself and carefully repeated his orders many times . Because of the gravity of this situation, he sent me to prevent you from acting recklessly!”
“Do you know why the prime minister placed great importance on this?”
“Why?” Kong Shang Xin felt slightly uneasy .
“Since we started this mission, when King level leader Yin came here, the prime minister had said that we should absolutely not assassinate Tie Bu Tian . The moment we make an attempt at Tie Bu Tian’s life, whether successful or not, we will provoke Iron Cloud’s anger . Without any other place to vent their rage, they will take it out on Number One and kill him! This proves that Number One is more important to the prime minister than Tie Bu Tian!”
Cheng Yun He continued, “When he sent me here, the prime minister recognized how important King of Hell Chu was to Iron Cloud . So he especially emphasized that rescuing Number One and eliminating our misunderstanding with that mystery clan was to be our main priority . Plus, he even added that if we are not certain, do not touch King of Hell Chu . Do you know why?”
“Note the prime minister words, ‘rescue Number One and eliminate our misunderstanding with that mystery clan’! The words ‘rescue Number One’ come first . ”
Cheng Yun He sighed deeply, “The prime minister was worried that you people would let your emotions rule your action, so he repeated many times that you should wait for me to come and discuss things before taking action . Is that not worth the least bit of your attention?”
“It is because the prime minister knows that I understand how important Number One is to him!” Cheng Yun He burst out sadly .
“So who is Number One?” There were beads of sweat on Kong Shang Xin’s forehead . Hearing Cheng Yun He saying all of that, if he still did not understand Number One’s importance, then he might as well die .
“In all of his life, the prime minister’s teacher only had two disciples!” Cheng Yun He said solemnly, “Do you know who the other person was?”
“Is it Number One?” Kong Shang Xin suddenly choked, and sweat ran down his face .
“If not Number One, then who?” Cheng Yun He angrily glared at him .
“Back then, the two martial brothers depended on each other . Number One was eight years younger than the prime minister . The two served Great Zhao together; one was in the light, and one was in the shadow . Until now, Number One has never revealed his real name to anyone else . The creation of Golden Horse Riders Department was a joint effort of the two of them!”
“Later, the prime minister gradually grew in status at Great Zhao and Number One faded from everyone’s mind . But after seven or eight years, there was news about a saint amongst Iron Cloud’s officials . Do you know why?” Cheng Yun He said somberly, “Because back then, the prime minister, Han Bu Chu, Number One, and I drank together…”
At this point, Cheng Yun He sighed and could not help but reminisce .
The four of them were all young back then . Number One was only twenty years old, and Diwu Qing Rou did not have the power he currently had . The four had drank more than three rounds and were becoming drunk .
After getting drunk, they started to discuss about their goals and ambitions . Diwu Qing Rou said, “In all of history, Nine Heavens has never been united under one ruler . There has always been different warlords creating chaos . My ambition in life is being able to unify this vast Nine Heavens by my own hands!”
At that time, Diwu Qing Rou held the wine cup in his hand . While his gaze was somewhat intoxicated, his voice remained calm, “A man’s head should hold up the sky, the sun and the moon, and his feet should stand on this vast land . He should look down at millions of lives and rule over them all! When drunk… resting one’s head on a beauty’s lap, but not being some ordinary lusty demon . When sober… ruling over the world . This is what a man’s ambition should be! A man should live in eternal glory . Who needs a beauty next to him?”
