Chapter 131: If you treat me with sincerity, I will definitely repay you with sincerity!

~9 min read 1,601 words

"Lord Chen Yan, you... do you mean that you are willing to take me into your command?!"

Wen Run's pupils suddenly shrank; he couldn't believe his ears and was exceptionally incredulous.

He had never imagined that this Zhuque Mirror Master, who was fierce and ruthless, had a reputation for being fierce, and was also famous in Chang'an for being vengeful, would actually choose to let go of past grudges...

Extremely unexpected.

"Yes." Chen Yan nodded and said seriously.

Big Brother has the heart to recruit talents?... Li Tan, seeing this, had a look of great interest as his gaze darted back and forth between the two, muttering in his heart.

It cannot be denied that this guy named Wen Run, who could hibernate for so many years and could calculate against the Wen family by any means, was indeed extraordinary...

He was a talent worth molding.

"But I used you, Lord, to achieve my goal..." Wen Run seemed to remember something, frowned, and worried.

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Yan, hearing this, laughed heartily, waved his hand casually, and said indifferently, "A mere trifle, why mention it?"

"You used me, but you also let me see your ability..."

"What's more, cleaning up the Wen clan was already in my plan!"

"Consider it a merit for you!"

Chen Yan, this person, had always been double-standard, and he was very clear about things, especially principled issues...

Treating the likes of Chen Tongyuan and others, it was extreme calculation and endless fighting.

Toward Zhao Wuji and Wen Run, he could be magnanimous, as long as they could be used by him!

"Lord Chen Yan, your breadth of mind is wider than the sea!"

Wen Run swallowed hard, calmed his excited mood, bowed, and said loudly.

A young man of seventeen, to have such a breadth of mind, to have such bearing, to be able to reach such a state...

Wen Run dared not imagine where he would eventually end up...

Especially since he still had the favor of the Grand Chancellor!

"Wen Run, are you willing to work for me?" Chen Yan smiled indifferently, examined the man on the ground, and asked again.

"Willing!"

Wen Run did not hesitate at all, braced his body, knelt on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said decisively, "Subordinate Wen Run is willing to work for the Master, will go through fire and water, and will never fail you!"

Having wandered the world for so many years, Wen Run had seen countless human warmth and coldness...

To be lucky enough to get a wise master, what else was there to hesitate about?

"Good, very good!" Chen Yan pointed his finger and nodded with satisfaction.

The current Chen Yan already had the intention of building a team, starting to prepare for the future...

All kinds of talents were needed.

As long as he obtained the power to establish a government office in the future, he could be even more justified.

"Congratulations, Lord, on gaining a good general!"

You Xian, seeing this, began to take the lead in congratulating.

"Come, give him the antidote." Chen Yan pressed his hand, looked at You Xian, and instructed.

"Yes." You Xian nodded and signaled an Embroidered Attire Envoy to hand it over.

"Thank you, Master!"

Wen Run, after receiving it, first thanked him, then swallowed the antidote directly.

"Stop kneeling, hurry up and get up!"

Chen Yan glanced at the dim sky and said, "It's getting late, it's time to return to the city early..."

But Wen Run on the ground remained unmoved, instead kneeling even straighter, puffed out his chest, and bowed, "I ask the Master to grant poison!"

Word by word.

His gaze was incomparably firm.

"Grant poison?"

"What kind of trick is he playing?"

Li Tan, who was already calculating whether to go to Chunman Lou or Jiaofang Si after returning to the city, watched this sudden scene and thought to himself.

Even he was a bit confused...

Chen Yan pursed his lips and gave him a look.

Wen Run immediately understood, and after a little wording, explained, "The establishment of trust needs time as a foundation..."

"Subordinate doesn't want to, nor is willing to wait that long!"

Wen Run knew very well that trust would not be born out of thin air; it needed to be established in repeated exchanges.

With the Master's temperament, he could use himself, but he would also guard against himself...

So it was better to hold his soft underbelly in his own hands!

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, rubbed his chin, and asked, "You want a kind of medicine that has no abnormalities after taking it..."

"But at a fixed time, if the antidote is not taken in time, the poison will flare up instantly, and you will die suddenly, and even gods cannot save you... right?"

Chen Yan roughly understood Wen Run's meaning.

The poison he sought was almost similar to the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill that controlled people in Dongfang Bubai.

But it had to be said that this proposal was quite worth adopting...

It greatly increased his trust in him.

"Yes."

Wen Run nodded heavily and said in a low voice, "I assume that in the Mingjing Si, there is no shortage of such medicine..."

What kind of place was the Mingjing Si?

The most common things were these kinds of insidious gadgets.

As long as he put a "tightening spell" on himself, the Master could use him with peace of mind.

This damn thing can even be played like this? And there are people rushing to seek to be controlled?... Li Tan, watching from the side, was stunned, twitched the corner of his mouth, and slandered in his heart.

Today was an eye-opener, and the trip was not in vain.

Worthy of being a ruthless person who had hibernated for so many years; ruthless to enemies, and even more ruthless to himself...

Anyway, if it were him, Li Tan, he would absolutely not be able to do it!

"There is, but have you really thought it through?"

Chen Yan was moved by Wen Run's determination, exhaled a turbid breath, and asked.

After a pause, he reminded, "Once you take it, you are handing over your entire life and family to me, with no way back..."

Chen Yan actually didn't know if the Mingjing Si had a version of the "Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill"...

But in his estate, there were existences that could create even stronger medicinal effects.

"If you treat me with sincerity, I will definitely repay you with sincerity!"

Wen Run's gaze was burning, and he said decisively.

From the moment the Master was willing to give him a chance and was willing to recruit him, Wen Run felt his sincerity.

Naturally, he had to repay him.

Moreover, Wen Run was very clear in his heart that being able to be used by a new noble of the dynasty would definitely not lack a future.

As long as he did his best and gained trust, he would be given the antidote without even thinking about it.

This guy is even more interesting than I expected... Chen Yan, seeing this, curled his mouth slightly upward and responded, "Good."

"Then follow me back to the estate first!"

Chen Yan originally only wanted to recruit a thug with good martial arts and a brain to share some of Zhu Yi's pressure...

But now he had picked up a piece of gold.

Chang'an.

Chen Estate.

Chen Yan led Zhu Yi and Wen Run straight into the backyard. Qingyu, seeing her young master return, was overjoyed and immediately greeted him, "Young Master, you're back so early?"

After saying that, she noticed Wen Run beside him and asked suspiciously, "Who is this...?"

She hadn't seen this man before; he looked very unfamiliar.

"Wen Run."

Chen Yan raised his hand, pointed at Wen Run, and introduced, "From now on, he will be the guard of our estate..."

"Arrange a room for him later."

"Okay." Qingyu nodded obediently.

Starting from Dantai Mingyue, her young master would always bring some people back every few days; Qingyu was long used to it.

"This is Qingyu!"

Chen Yan rubbed Qingyu's head and continued to introduce, "In the future, if there are any big or small matters in the estate, just find her to handle them..."

"Yes." Wen Run responded, nodded to Qingyu, and cast a friendly look.

"Where is Yun Xi now?" Chen Yan asked.

"It seems she is learning embroidery with Miss Xiao..." Qingyu, hearing this, thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then I'll go find her directly..."

The three did not stay and walked quickly to Xiao Zhiqing's courtyard.

Yun Xi, who was carefully threading a needle at the stone table, heard the sound of someone walking, suddenly raised her head, and the moment she saw Chen Yan's face, she jumped up and down, smiled sweetly, "A Yan Brother, you're back?"

Xiao Zhiqing on the side also noticed who had come, but remained unmoved and rolled her eyes, "Hmph!"

Chen Yan's mind was entirely on the purpose of his arrival and didn't notice it. He looked at Yun Xi and asked directly, "Yun Girl, I need a kind of medicine..."

Immediately, he repeated the effect of the "Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill" in detail.

"Okay."

Yun Xi nodded, pulled Chen Yan's sleeve, and smiled, "I'll prepare a new one for you, tomorrow afternoon."

"Then I'll trouble you." Chen Yan nodded.

Xiao Zhiqing, who had never been paid attention to, seeing the two talking happily, looked even more displeased and made a sound, "Hmph hmph hmph!" ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
