Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

”Someone has rescued him!”

The Ruyang King sat there with stable emotions, poured himself a cup of tea, and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Tuotuo felt dizzy and almost fainted; the person had been rescued, what would happen to his plan?

Thinking this, Tuotuo looked at the Ruyang King and asked, ”Who rescued him, and when was he rescued?”

The Ruyang King replied, ”Of course, he was rescued by the demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect. Could it possibly be that Lord Prime Minister had someone rescue him?”

Upon hearing this, Tuotuo became furious and looked at the Ruyang King, saying, ”Since it was the demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect, why didn’t you stop them?”

The Ruyang King chuckled and replied, ”Stop them? Why should I stop them?”

”You, you are a Prince of Daqian. When you see demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect, shouldn’t you stop them?”

Tuotuo reprimanded the Ruyang King sternly, to which the Ruyang King replied coldly, ”Am I now a Prince of Daqian again? Wasn’t I just a captive of the Lord Prime Minister?”

”You!”

Tuotuo heard this and angrily rebuked the Ruyang King, but the Ruyang King remained calm and said, ”Tuotuo, why are you angry here? I was deceived by you into coming to the Capital, and I didn’t get angry. What right do you have to be angry? Is it the fault of the victims if the perpetrators haven’t achieved their harm?”

The Ruyang King questioned Tuotuo, and Tuotuo forcibly suppressed his anger after hearing this, looking at the Ruyang King and asking, ”What do you really want?”

The Ruyang King chuckled and said, ”What do you want? Wasn’t this all instigated by you? Now that the Little Ming King has run away, I wonder how Lord Prime Minister will wrap this up?”

Tuotuo forcibly suppressed his inner rage after hearing this and looked at the Ruyang King, asking, ”What does the Prince want me to do?”

The Ruyang King looked at him and said, ”I don’t know how you should handle it, but I know that if you can’t manage it well, this might truly be the end for you.”

Tuotuo’s face turned somber as he said, ”Prince, since the Zoroastrian Sect people rescued the Little Ming King, why didn’t the Prince seize the opportunity to leave?”

Upon hearing this, the Ruyang King looked at Tuotuo, followed by a laugh, ”Does Lord Prime Minister really think that imprisoning me here in the Great Buddha Temple means I’m afraid of the Living Buddha’s methods, or that the Living Buddha intends to imprison me?”

”Actually, if I want to leave, no one can imprison me, including the Living Buddha. I’ve been staying here because I don’t want to leave yet!”

Tuotuo was greatly shocked by these words, but he quickly forcibly suppressed his thoughts and looked at the Ruyang King, asking, ”Why has the Prince chosen not to leave?”

”Does the Prime Minister not understand?”

Tuotuo’s face turned even more unpleasant as he looked at the Ruyang King and said, ”Prince, why would you insist on burning bridges, this is detrimental to both of us.”

The Ruyang King looked at Tuotuo and said, ”Lord Prime Minister, knowing it’s detrimental, why did you act prematurely? Now that I’m already under your control, tell me how you plan to wrap things up?”

Tuotuo remained silent, looked at the Ruyang King, and said, ”The Prince should understand one principle; cooperation is mutually beneficial, division is mutually harmful. The Prince commands the military and is of direct lineage to the Royal Family, while I oversee court officials. If we can combine forces and collaborate, the entire world would be under our control, wouldn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, the Ruyang King looked at Tuotuo and said, ”Tuotuo, I am a direct descendant royal of the Borjigit Clan, the Holy Emperor’s elder brother. You are an outsider who has merely grasped power for a few days and want to cooperate with me to overshadow my brother, what are you thinking?”

Tuotuo’s face turned very unpleasant upon hearing this, but the Ruyang King continued, ”I’ll tell you, Tuotuo, cooperation with me is impossible, you now have only one path, go to Your Majesty and plead for mercy, there might still be a chance, otherwise, let’s see who can overthrow whom!”

The Ruyang King’s words cast Tuotuo into an abyss, it seemed the Ruyang King was indeed prepared to clash head-on with him. Thinking this, Tuotuo abandoned hope, stood up, looked at the Ruyang King, and said, ”Since the Prince says so, then Tuotuo can only accompany you to the end.”

The Ruyang King looked at Tuotuo and said, ”Then Lord Prime Minister, go ahead as you please.”

Tuotuo then poured the Ruyang King a cup of tea and said, ”Then the Prince, drink slowly.”

The two glanced at each other, sparks flying, after a long time they both laughed together, and then Tuotuo left the room. Outside, Tuotuo’s adjutant approached and said, ”That Ruyang King is too arrogant.”

”We’ll find an opportunity to deal with him sooner or later.”

Upon hearing this, Tuotuo’s eyes narrowed and he said, ”Dealing with him? It’s not easy to deal with him.”

After saying this, Tuotuo asked, ”The Little Ming King has fled, tomorrow’s King Slaughter Conference is canceled, are the preparations for the program for the Emperor ready?”

”Don’t worry, Lord. Our people have carefully selected, and altogether chosen one thousand and one stunning beauties, named ’Multicolorful Bloom,’ already prepared, just right to be sent to the Emperor. By the way, among them is the South Sea Pearl Gatherer lady you blessed, whose ultimate skill is to hold her breath underwater for two hours.”

Upon hearing this, Tuotuo said, ”Hmm, in this way, it’s good. By the way, how is that Demon Slayer Monk fellow?”

Once this was said, the adjutant replied, ”The Demon Slayer Monk is ready and will impersonate bandits on the road, blocking Hama’s return journey to the Capital, ensuring Hama won’t return in time.”

Upon hearing this, Tuotuo said, ”Returning to the Capital, let that old guy not come back, have the Demon Slayer Monk...”

Tuotuo gestured a hand sign for elimination, and his adjutant immediately understood, ”Understood, Lord. I’ll send a message via Flying Pigeon to him right away.”

After hearing this, Tuotuo waved his hand and said, ”Go ahead.”

Throughout the whole process, Tuotuo appeared very calm, but when everyone had left, Tuotuo’s face suddenly became extremely unpleasant. How a perfectly good plan could turn into this situation.
