Chapter 1049 Ease of Relations
Wei An hasn't sent any news back yet, so how did Lu Benwei already know?
"To be honest, Commander, I've sent Zhan Wei with men to support Su Chen..."
"Oh……"
Wei An nodded, not too angry.
In retrospect, Lu Benwei's move can be considered quite wise.
At the very least, it still leaves room for reconciliation with Su Chen.
Suzaku really did nothing when the Sakura people attacked.
It seems there's no chance of getting along with Su Chen again now.
"Actually, the main reason we didn't send troops was Cheng Kun's idea; he wanted Su Chen to suffer a bit..."
Wei An explained.
Although that's what they say, Wei An, as the head of the headquarters, has the final say.
If he hadn't made the final decision, Cheng Kun wouldn't have been able to stand idly by.
"In retrospect, Minister Cheng was a bit short-sighted."
Lu Benwei also took this opportunity to suppress Cheng Kun.
"If you ask me, we need to find a way to ease the tension with Su Chen."
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Doesn't Su Chen want the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding? Why not reward him for his merit in defeating the Sakura Man?"
Lu Benwei suggested.
"That's not necessarily a bad thing."
Wei An stroked his chin and pondered.
Just then, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Cheng Kun, accompanied by Wu Zheng, strode in.
"Chief..."
When he saw Lu Benwei and Zhan Wei appearing in Wei An's office, he was stunned.
What are you two doing here?
"They're discussing serious business with me!"
Seeing that Cheng Kun barged into his office without reporting, Wei An said irritably,
"Minister Cheng, don't you understand etiquette? Don't you know to knock before coming in?"
"go out!"
Previously, Wei An valued Cheng Kun's abilities and his combat unit, so he was extremely lenient with him.
However, recently, the research department has produced a health-preserving pill, which has won the favor of many other departments.
In addition, Lu Benwei and Su Chen have a good relationship.
Therefore, Wei An's attitude leaned towards Lu Benwei.
Looking back at Cheng Kun, I feel that he was a bit too presumptuous!
Oh shit.
Before, when they used me, they called me Little Sweetie.
Now that it's no longer needed, you've changed your address to "Mrs. Cow," right?
Cheng Kun was somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't say anything.
With a stiff face, he led Wu Zheng out of the office and knocked on the door again.
"come in!"
After receiving Wei An's permission, Cheng Kun pushed open the door and entered.
"Commander, I just returned from the front lines and was planning to report to you on the battle between the Sakura People and the Watchers Alliance."
"No need to report, I already know from Minister Lu."
Wei An waved his hand.
Cheng Kun was taken aback.
"I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. Su Chen is clearly a subordinate organization of Zhuque. How could we stand idly by and do nothing for him because of our own selfish desires?"
Wei An's tone was reproachful.
No.
Didn't you agree with my opinion back then? How come you're shifting the blame onto me now?
Cheng Kun was filled with resentment.
But he also knew that the leader was always right.
If a problem really arises, it's because the subordinates failed to perform their duties effectively!
So he could only suppress his anger.
"Fortunately, Minister Lu had the foresight to send Zhanwei to provide support..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kun suddenly realized what was going on.
It turned out that Lu Benwei had sent someone to Dongpan Province, which is why Wei An was able to receive the news so early.
"I discussed it with Minister Lu and we decided to give the Myriad Manifestations True Insight as a reward to Su Chen."
As soon as Wei An finished speaking, Cheng Kun could no longer sit still.
"I object!"
"Chief, the Myriad Manifestations True Explanation is one of the top cultivation techniques in our organization. Isn't it a bit of a waste to just bestow it on Su Chen like this?"
Wei An frowned and asked in return,
"Besides this, do you have any other ways to repair your relationship with Su Chen?"
Cheng Kun opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Whether it's supplies, raw stones, or spirit stones, given Su Chen's status, he most likely won't lack them.
Su Chen probably wouldn't care about ordinary martial arts or spells.
Giving Su Chen the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding is the best way to repair the relationship between the two.
"No, why should we repair our relationship with Su Chen?"
Cheng Kun was still unwilling to give up,
"We are the Vermilion Bird, why should we bow down to him?!"
Upon hearing this, Wei An and Lu Benwei almost burst out laughing in anger!
Leaving aside Su Chen's personal abilities for now.
He can command the kingdom of Atlantis and summon pods of black shark whales.
The Watchers Alliance, which they control, occupies four provinces and is extremely powerful.
Even the Japanese invaders, who mobilized the entire nation to invade, suffered a crushing defeat!
Such a powerful organization, should we not try to win it over, or should we break with it?
Cheng Kun is a minister in the Zhuque faction, how come his political awareness is so low?
Noticing the looks Wei An and Lu Benwei were giving him, as if he were an idiot, Cheng Kun realized just how stupid his words had been!
He coughed and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
“That’s not what I meant… I meant that the things can be given.”
"But the Watchmen League must also accept our constraints and management, just like other organizations."
Wei An's expression softened, and he nodded slightly.
"Your suggestion is not wrong."
If the Watchmen League is not restrained and managed, and allowed to develop unchecked...
Given enough time, the Watchers might turn the tables and swallow Suzaku whole!
"But Su Chen's personality probably means he won't compromise so easily..."
Lu Benwei's expression showed some worry.
It was clear from the last negotiation that Su Chen was not so easily subdued.
It would be extremely difficult to restrain him from joining the Watchmen.
"So it all depends on Minister Lu's abilities."
Cheng Kun smiled insincerely.
In the midst of his casual conversation, he set a trap for Rubenwei.
If Rubenwei successfully persuades Su Chen, then Suque will be able to restrain the Watchers Alliance in the future.
This is certainly a good thing.
If Lu Benwei can't, then Cheng Kun can take the opportunity to severely suppress him!
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
"I'm leaving this to you, Xiao Lu. You have to do a great job."
Wei An patted Lu Benwei on the shoulder.
"Yes, Commander!"
Lu Benwei frowned, but he had no choice but to agree.
After all, no one in the entire Suzaku organization was more suitable to do this than him.
……
After obtaining a copy of the True Explanation of All Things from the Sutra Repository inside the Vermilion Bird Palace.
Without wasting any time, Lu Benwei packed up briefly and left Xinggang City with Zhan Wei and the others.
The group headed south, heading straight for Beitu Province.
After arriving in Stone City, they contacted the Watchers Alliance and learned that Su Chen had returned to the main base in Rain City.
So Rubenwei, Zhanwei, and the others drove towards the Watchers Alliance's main base in Rain City.
