Chapter 650: Li Chen

Recently, Xie Ergai has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground.

On one hand, he mobilized all the resources and mouthpieces he could mobilize.

In his father Andrei Dagong Andrei's fief, he publicized his image of being "compassionate," "hating war," and "longing for peace," desperately shaping an image of a different, considerate aristocratic heir.

On the other hand, he ran around in person and had multiple negotiations with the representative sent by the Northern Army Commander Han Wu of Tian Ce.

In the end, he paid a huge ransom several times the normal price and successfully redeemed the nearly twenty thousand soldiers who had been captured before.

This business naturally made Han Wu make a lot of money, and for Xie Ergai, the harvest was equally huge.

These redeemed soldiers had already seen what a real tiger-wolf army was like on the Tian Ce side. The terrifying fighting will of the Tian Ce army and the efficiency of harvesting heads left them with a deep psychological shadow, and they didn't want to go to the battlefield to die again.

Now that they were redeemed by Xie Ergai at a sky-high price, it was no different from being reborn parents, so they were naturally grateful to Xie Ergai and swore allegiance one after another.

Xie Ergai took the opportunity to properly settle these old soldiers who had experienced the flames of war and were only loyal to him in various places in the fief to recuperate, and at the same time secretly organized them into a secret force that only listened to him.

Although it was not formed into a system for the time being, it was also a potential that could not be underestimated.

Everything seemed to be developing in the direction Xie Ergai expected.

What made him even more happy was that for some reason, Master Wuerge had been extra attentive to him recently, not only often pointing out his cultivation, teaching him many practical Shaman spells and fighting skills, but even occasionally asking about the progress of his plan and giving some key suggestions.

This day, Xie Ergai had some insights in his cultivation and came to ask his master for advice excitedly, but found that his master was not in the room, only his mother Lady Yekaterina was sitting inside, drinking tea leisurely.

He noticed that his mother's complexion was excellent today, glowing, her skin moist and bright, as if she were ten years younger, and her whole person exuded a lazy and satisfied style.

"Mother, why are you here? Where is my master?" Xie Ergai asked curiously.

Seeing her son, Lady Yekaterina showed a gentle smile on her face and said softly: "Your master went out early in the morning, saying he was going to investigate some things and would return in the evening."

Hearing this, Xie Ergai nodded thoughtfully, and then said to his mother with some pride: "Mother, I have had some insights recently. Master seems to really like seeing disciples work hard and do things seriously."

"As long as I show value and progress, he will naturally be satisfied and will help me more, instead of doing those crooked ways, which instead makes Master unhappy."

Lady Yekaterina's eyes were slightly complicated, but she quickly covered it up, nodded in agreement with her son's words: "My son is right, among the masters in the world, who doesn't like diligent and hardworking disciples? The more you strive, the more gratified he will naturally be, and the more he will spare no effort to cultivate you."

She secretly said in her heart: Silly child, it's not that simple. Your mother has made "efforts" you can't imagine to help you firmly "tie" this master.

But she couldn't say such things no matter what, so she could only bury all this in her heart silently.

At the same time, Li Chen was indeed investigating the chief military advisor of Andrei Dagong Andrei, Vasily, outside the city.

At first, he only judged that this person might be a lecher because Yekaterina mentioned the strangeness in Vasily's eyes when he looked at her, and he might prefer mature and beautiful noblewomen like Yekaterina.

Li Chen himself was a person who loved everyone, and he had no prejudice against this, but thought that with Vasily's power under Andrei, the various beautiful mature women he collected privately must be quite a few.

Perhaps he could go and "investigate" it, and enjoy the different styles of the Great Luo Dynasty. Anyway, he had nothing to do recently.

However, this investigation revealed an unexpected big secret!

Li Chen relied on his ghostly body technique and powerful divine sense to easily sneak into a secret stronghold of Vasily.
