The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 212 Preparing for the Dinner

The bullets fired from Chen Dong's gun let Yu Wenrou know how powerful he was. She curled up on his chest like a gentle and obedient cat.

Chen Dong hugged the beauty in his arms, feeling inexplicably emotional for a moment.

Did he ever think that he would be in his current situation?

"I have to thank those preachers for getting my predecessor into the palace." Chen Dong thought to himself, "However, they don't seem to know that I'm a fake eunuch. Who is behind this?"

The first person Chen Dong suspected was Chen Sigui, but the man was dead and the secret was hidden in the coffin.

Neither Mr. Xie nor Wen Cheng and others knew the secret of his identity.

"Hide it for a while. Wait until the Northern Expedition is over and Yan Yunzheng's reputation is at its peak. Then it won't matter if it is exposed." Chen Dong hugged Yuwen Rou tightly, feeling a little guilty.

However, after Yuwen Rou turned over, he put this thought out of his mind.

What's the point of owing anything? Just do it.

…………

"Just do it, don't just stand there, grab your weapons!"

In the secret room, all the preachers lurking in Yanjing City gathered together.

The last time they got together was because Qian Liang became the new top scholar and was preparing to plan big things.

Unexpectedly, Qian Liang died the next moment and the plan had to be shelved temporarily.

They have also become more cautious.

However, even so, they were betrayed by a traitor and several people were killed.

Now, there are only thirteen core members left.

"What are you doing? The plan must have been leaked. If you act recklessly now, you will only die faster!"

"We'll die if we want to. We've endured for three hundred years. Should we endure any longer? If we continue to endure, we'll become cowards!"

"I don't want to endure it anymore. I don't want my descendants to bear the same mission and suffer from sleepless nights for the rest of their lives."

"This year, the imperial court received 30 million shi of grain as autumn taxes, and next year it will definitely be more. If we continue to endure, the imperial court will become stronger and we will have even less chance!"

"But, with only thirteen of us, it's impossible to carry out that plan."

"We won't know if it works until we try. Since hiding from place to place means we'll be caught, we might as well risk our lives!"

The thirteen people argued endlessly and finally decided to vote.

Nine people agreed to take action, three people strongly opposed, and one person abstained.

"The minority obeys the majority, so we'll act tonight!"

Chen Dong held the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, but there was an undercurrent surging in the city of Yanjing.

Although there are only thirteen of them, there is also a group of peripheral people, and these people are all believers who believe in the teachings of the various philosophers.

For the sake of their beliefs, these believers are willing to sacrifice their lives!

…………

When they were preparing to act, the secret agents of the South Factory had already discovered their whereabouts. After all, these people looked secretive and behaved furtively, and they were not good people at first glance. Moreover, they all spoke with foreign accents.

If not them, who should we stare at?

After receiving the report from his subordinates, the factory manager Jiang Lao immediately sent someone to the palace to pass on the message to Chen Dong.

At that time, Chen Dong and Yu Wenrou had a fierce battle, which made up for his debt and filled her emptiness.

"These scumbags have finally shown up, let's kill them all at once!"

Chen Dong bid farewell to Yuwen Rou and rode his bike to the Jinyiwei government office.

"Commander, we have found out their address. Almost all of them are carrying knives and have fierce eyes. They are not good people. They should be the people you mentioned before." Old Jiang said respectfully.

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I just had someone keep an eye on them, but didn't take any action."

Chen Dong nodded, "Well done. They are now active frequently, they must be preparing for a major operation. You must keep a close eye on the places I told you about."

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang said seriously.

Chen Dong had previously obtained a confession from Zhang Hong, so he was of course well prepared and was just waiting for these people to show up.

Now that the big fish has surfaced, it's time to pull in the net. Whether it's steamed or braised, it's enough for them to drink a pot of wine.

Since we are going to have a banquet, how can we do without anyone to show up?

Chen Dong thought of someone and asked someone to bring her over.

As soon as they met, she threw herself into his arms.

"Commander, you have such a cruel heart that you have locked me up for so long!" Qiuyue said resentfully.

"Are you willing to tell the truth now?" Chen Dong asked in a deep voice.

Qiuyue's face froze, and she smiled bitterly: "I told the truth last time, I really forgot to write Xie Qingfeng's name."

Chen Dong looked at Qiuyue deeply and said, "Come with me to a banquet. If you still say the same thing after the banquet, I will believe you."

Qiuyue's heart started beating suddenly.

Is this dinner...the Hongmen Banquet?

The dinner that Chen Dong carefully prepared was held on the third floor of Piaoxiang Building. By opening the window, one could have a panoramic view of the street outside.

Maids dressed in cool clothes came to Chen Dong like flowing water to serve him, pushing Qiuyue aside.

There were traces of sweat on Qiuyue's forehead, and she glanced out the window from time to time.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Chen Dong joked.

Qiuyue forced a smile, "Who is the person the commander invited? He actually dared to come later than the commander. He really doesn't take the commander seriously!"

"It's okay. I've always been broad-minded and won't argue with a dead person." Chen Dong waved his hand and swallowed the peeled grapes handed to him by the maid in one gulp.

Qiuyue's face suddenly turned pale.

"The food in prison isn't that good, is it? I see you've lost weight." Chen Dong picked up a piece of meat for Qiuyue with his chopsticks, "Hurry up and eat some more."

Qiuyue forced a smile, worried that Chen Dong might be suspicious, so she picked it up and ate it in one bite, "Thank you, Commander."

The fact that she didn't act coquettishly today had already aroused Chen Dong's suspicion.

However, the big net has been set, so even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it doesn’t matter.

Chen Dong knocked on the plate with chopsticks. On the plate was a steamed fish. The fish's eyes were wide open, staring straight at Qiuyue.

"Try this fish, I ordered it especially for you." Chen Dong said meaningfully.

Qiuyue pursed her lips, and her lips even turned a little pale.

At this moment, there were sudden bursts of bird calls outside the window.

Chen Dong's eyes lit up. "This bird is really something. It keeps chirping like that. What if someone gets hurt? What should we do?"

Qiuyue has realized that there is no good banquet, and this table of food Chen Dong prepared was specially for her!

Last meal before execution!

Qiuyue knelt down in front of Chen Dong with a plop and begged, "Commander, please forgive me."

Chen Dong joked, "Hey, what are you doing? If someone sees you, they will think I'm bullying you."

He glanced at the maids.

The maids were startled and quickly bowed and retreated, closing the door for Chen Dong.

Qiuyue gritted her teeth and said, "I have indeed concealed something from you, Commander. Please spare my life!"

"Tell me about your business slowly. Let's watch the show first. If there is wine but no show, wouldn't the banquet be much less fun?" Chen Dong laughed and stood by the window with a glass of wine in his hand.

In the dead of night, followers of the various schools of thought slowly walked out of inns, warehouses, and houses.

They gathered on the long street outside Piaoxiang Tower and ran wildly towards the imperial palace!
