Chapter 779: Gentle Circumference

and it is not the season for tribute from foreign countries, there are some Westerners with blond and blue eyes, but their appearances differ greatly from Miss Jin. Adding it all up, among the dark-...Chapter 779: Soft as a Circling Finger

"I want you to come in. There's something I need you to do."

Li Chen specifically called He Kun in, it was naturally impossible for him to just be because He Kun received a small amount of benefit.

Upon hearing this, He Kun immediately replied with resolute confidence, "Your Highness has commanded it, and I shall surely complete the task splendidly."

Li Chen said with a smirk, "You're talking so confidently, aren't you afraid I'll give you an impossible task"

He Kun's face suddenly burst into a bloom, and he said with a mischievous grin: "Anything the Crown Prince entrusts to a humble official, a humble official will surely accomplish. If a humble official fails, then it is only right that I die, for my abilities are insufficient."

Listen to this, what they're saying.

Li Chen was certain that even if he dropped He Kun, this old fox, into the future, he would definitely thrive in society.

Gaining your leader's favor is never a simple task; it could even be considered an art form.

In this field of study, He Kun undoubtedly stands at the forefront of our time.

Capable, able to get things done, can handle situations and also good at communication.

No wonder emperors loved treacherous officials. While someone like He Kun may not be a good official for the people, he is an infinitely better dog than a loyal minister for the emperor.

Ignoring He Kun's flattery, Li Chen went straight to the point.

"Today the Liao delegation has arrived, and Yelü Guzanqi was also taken by them. Your task is to go over and count the ransom brought by the Liao delegation into the treasury."

He Kun listened intently, not missing a word.

After listening, his eyes rolled, and doubts began to cloud his mind.

Logically, the 'ransom' submitted by the Liao envoy should have been counted and stored by the Ministry of Revenue. It naturally would be deposited into the national treasury, which is something within the authority and responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue.

He was an attendant in the East Palace, relying on the immense power of the East Palace and the trust of the Crown Prince. He could meddle in many things, but when it came to matters concerning the national treasury, his involvement seemed completely inappropriate.

This leaves the Ministry of Finance in a difficult position.

What does this make Xu Changqing think

For a moment, even He Kun, who was adept at understanding others' intentions, found himself unable to grasp Li Chen's meaning.

Li Chen glanced at He Kun, seeing all the confusion in his eyes. But Li Chen clearly had no intention of explaining.

The Liao delegation sent a large number of people this time. Among them, eight core figures accompanied Yelü Shenxuan. These eight individuals must be highly influential to be able to come with him. You should seize this opportunity during the handover of ransom to establish contact with them.

Li Chen's words gave He Kun an instant epiphany.

He looked at Li Chen, his eyes lit up.

He sort of understood Li Chen's meaning; this was him asking to dig into the wall of Liao.

To corrupt the enemy from within with honeyed words, He Kun is the most suitable person for this task than anyone else.

Seeing He Kun understood his meaning, Li Chen continued, "Do you know how to start"

This is the prince testing himself.

He Kun's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea. He carefully observed Li Chen's expression and tentatively said: "Those eight people probably weren't all from Yelu Shenxuan. There must be at least one spy for the Liao State ruler, Yelü Manhuang, among them. Perhaps even the Liao State chancellor, Wan Yan Zhiduo, has arranged people inside."

"The humble minister plans to first find a way to investigate and learn the identities of these eight people. Then, we will choose their weaknesses and strike."

“The land of China is vast and rich with resources. Any small trinket would be a novel and precious treasure to their Liao people. Just gather some, give them silver along with it, and follow this process; I guarantee that even gold and iron could be softened by them.”.He was a deputy general.That general rode his horse to Xu Wei's side, glanced at him, and sneered: "Where is the prince""Without seeing the prince, how can I be sure of his identity Just anyone claim...
