Chapter 25

Qin Mu naturally didn't believe it!

"This..."

Fang Xuanling felt cold all over, feeling like an ignorant fool who knew nothing.

However, through Qin Mu's words, he could guess roughly what happened.

What kind of person is Zhangsun Chong?

A playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and play!

How could he have written that peerless article?

Fang Xuanling had also had this question at the beginning.

But because of his relationship with Zhangsun Wuji and the decree personally announced by His Majesty, he never voiced the question in his heart.

Hearing Qin Mu's words today, Fang Xuanling finally understood.

It turns out there was a huge conspiracy in the middle!

"It seems you don't know, then you don't need to know. The more you know about many things, the more dangerous it is." Seeing Fang Xuanling's shocked expression, Qin Mu already understood.

Zhangsun Wuji did not tell Fang Xuanling about this matter.

But this is also normal!

After all, this is a shameful matter, and a highly confidential one at that.

The fewer people who know, the better.

Especially an old fox like Zhangsun Wuji, how could he want others to know his handle?

Even if it is Fang Xuanling, it is the same!

"Great King, you are..."

Fang Xuanling was very surprised.

He heard another layer of meaning from Qin Mu's words.

Cherishing talent!

Qin Mu didn't seem to want to kill him; not only that, he seemed to appreciate him quite a bit.

"Prime Minister Fang, I cherish your talent and want you to serve under my command; I wonder what you think?" Qin Mu asked in a calm tone.

Damn it!

This kid is addicted to poaching!

Fang Xuanling's heart moved, but he admired Qin Mu even more.

At such a young age, to have such breadth of mind and spirit is truly remarkable!

Even His Majesty back in the day probably couldn't compare to him.

"This sinful subject thanks the Great King for his appreciation."

"It's just... as the saying goes, those with different paths do not conspire. Although the Great King and this sinful subject are of the same lineage, the Great King has long since rebelled against the Great Tang, and even if this sinful subject dies, I dare not be disloyal to the Great Tang."

Fang Xuanling lowered his head and refused Qin Mu's invitation.

Tibet and the Great Tang were originally two different countries.

Fang Xuanling was a loyal official all his life, so he could never betray his country and defect to the enemy.

Fang Xuanling's refusal made the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly tense.

Even the Tibetan nobles prostrate on the ground were shivering.

It's over!

This weak scholar actually has such great courage to openly refuse the new King of Tibet?

The youth monarch before them is not someone to be trifled with!

He kills without blinking!

Fang Xuanling looked solemn, having long since prepared to die.

"Hahaha, well said!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Mu suddenly laughed loudly, seemingly not minding Fang Xuanling's refusal.

"Prime Minister Fang is indeed a pillar of talent; since that is the case, I will not force you."

"But Prime Minister Fang, I will tell you one thing. Perhaps before long, this place and the Great Tang will no longer be divided into you and me; all of it will become the territory of the Great Qin!" Qin Mu's voice echoed faintly, but it was like thunder in Fang Xuanling's mind.
