Chapter 1272
"Mr. Ye, are you the former president of Gangcheng Wuji Association?" Basong asked, staring at Ye Xiao.
If the Ye Xiao in front of him was really the Ye Xiao who had close ties with the Longguo government, Basong would have to re-examine the intention of this person to come to him.
Although Longguo is the largest trading partner of Xiangguo and a relatively friendly neighbor, due to the layout of M country in Southeast Asia in recent years, Xiangguo and Longguo still have some disputes on certain issues.
At this time, a general of the Longguo War Department came to him, and what he wanted to talk about must not be a small matter.
Ye Xiao grinned and said, "That's all in the past. I am no longer the president of Gangcheng Wuji Association."
"Oh! Then should I call you General Ye?"
Basong responded quickly.
He did not doubt Ye Xiao's identity. With Daveka's intelligence and status, how could he bring a fake to deceive him?
Therefore, the purpose of his words at this time was naturally to test Ye Xiao with words, whether he came to Xiangguo to find him on behalf of the Longguo government or Ye Xiao himself.
"Mr. Basong, you are older than me, just call me by my name!" Ye Xiao replied slowly.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Basong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Ye Xiao didn't come on behalf of the Longguo government, it meant that nothing major happened between the two countries.
"Mr. Ye, please forgive me for being indecent just now. Let's go to the study room to have a cup of tea and sit down to talk!" After saying that, Basong sat up and changed his indifferent attitude towards Ye Xiao just now.
Just now, even though Basong knew that Ye Xiao had saved his life, he only thanked his master Dawika at first, and directly skipped Ye Xiao.
But now, Basong knows that Ye Xiao, as a general of a big country, his identity and status are not inferior to his own, so he naturally dare not underestimate Ye Xiao anymore.
"Mr. Basong, you haven't recovered yet, let's just talk here." Ye Xiao said lightly. Although he was a little unhappy with Basong's attitude of looking at people, it was still within Ye Xiao's acceptance range.
Basong was born a nobleman, and he was also the leader of one of the three poles of the Xiangguo government. How could he not be arrogant?
"Okay, I wonder what Mr. Ye wants to talk about?" Basong didn't force it anymore. Now Ye Xiao came to him, most likely to ask for something, so it's okay for him to be a little more arrogant.
"I have a friend who has some grievances with the Xiangguo War Department. Next, I will avenge that friend on my behalf. I hope Mr. Basong can give some support." Ye Xiao said bluntly.
After hearing Ye Xiao's words, Basong began to think quickly.
From Ye Xiao's words, he could think that Ye Xiao must know that he was not in harmony with the War Department, so he found him.
But he has always been cautious, and he dare not believe Ye Xiao's words completely at this moment. What if he colluded with the Xiangguo War Department to set a trap for him?
After a brief thought, Basong asked expressionlessly: "I wonder who this friend Mr. Ye is talking about?"
"Tan Lang!" Ye Xiao answered without hesitation.
After hearing this name, Basong was shocked at first, and then looked at Daweika with a questioning look.
Basong not only heard of the former son-in-law Tan Lang, but also met him on many occasions before. He even felt a little sorry for the experience of Tan Lang and his master.
If Tan Lang and Princess Lisa had successfully married, the royal family would have been able to divide and check the War Department, and the current situation of the War Department being too big to be removed and not listening to orders would not have occurred.
And this is not only beneficial to the royal family, but also to their civil service system.
But Basong is still not sure whether Ye Xiao's words are true or false. Daveka is Princess Lisa's best friend, and he believes that she should not deceive him on this matter.
Therefore, Daveka's affirmative reply is very important to Basong.
Daveka nodded and said, "Uncle Basong, I have met Tan Lang himself. I believe you have heard about the disappearance of the two elders of Tianwumen before! That was done by Tan Lang and Mr. Ye."
Daveka naturally knew what Basong was suspicious of. At this time, she not only confirmed Ye Xiao's statement, but also brought up what Ye Xiao and Tan Lang had done before to further dispel Basong's doubts.
After hearing Daveka's words, Basong's doubts really dissipated by half. Even if Daveka might be set up by the Xiangguo War Department with promises of benefits, the disappearance of the two elders of Tianwumen could not be fake.
If this was also arranged by the War Department, then it would be a loss. Sacrificing the two powerful elders of Tianwu Sect just to let himself jump into the trap, such a force is too much.He must not be able to do it because of his understanding of the War Department.
"So, Mr. Ye is planning to retaliate against Tianwumen and Xiangguo War Department at the same time?"
"Those two forces have been in power in Xiangguo for many years. Even if you, Mr. Ye, have good martial arts and a strong background, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this!"
Basong still did not give a positive response to Ye Xiao's question just now, even though he also felt that this was a good opportunity to attack the War Department, because he felt that if he only relied on Ye Xiao and Daweika, the chances of winning should not be great, and he did not dare to bet rashly.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Basong, have you read the news yesterday? The head of the Nikon Army died in his own mansion."
Before coming, Daweika introduced Basong's character to Ye Xiao. Knowing that the other party was cautious, he was ready to persuade Basong in the way he had won over Daweika before.
Hearing this, Basong couldn't help but frowned, and he didn't understand what Ye Xiao said and what he asked.
Suddenly, he thought of a crazy idea. Could it be that Nikon's death was also caused by Ye Xiao and Tan Lang?
Assassinating the Manchester City military leader, these two people are too brave!
"Mr. Basong, you misunderstood. The death of Nikon has nothing to do with us. It was done by the War Department. Moreover, I and the people of the Guards fought with the assassin who assassinated Nikon."
Ye Xiao continued to talk.
This made Basong even more shocked, not only because Ye Xiao said the real cause of Nikon's death, but also because Ye Xiao actually had contact with the Guards.
Basong is an old fox in the political arena of Xiangguo. Almost in an instant, he captured a lot of information from Ye Xiao's words.
The Guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family. If it is true that the War Department sent people to assassinate Nikon, this means that the royal family has secretly had some friction with the War Department.
Ye Xiao also joined forces with the Royal Guards, which shows that Ye Xiao's actions may have been tacitly approved or even supported by the royal family.
In that case, it is not impossible for Ye Xiao and Tan Lang to seek revenge and overthrow Tianwumen and the War Department.
"Mr. Ye, I can't give you an answer for the time being. Let me think about it."
Although Basong was already tempted, he still planned to wait and see. As long as the royal family and the War Department did not tear each other apart head-on, he would still have a chance to buy a ticket and get on board.
And as long as the timing is right and the plan is more in-depth, it will also bring more benefits to the civil service system where he is.
