Peace Order

Wen Lingjun sat up immediately after recognizing the identity of this young man, then he supported himself to come down to bow with a salute, his voice calm and gentle:

"Academy scholar Wen Lingjun, has seen Marquis Qin Wu."

Li Guanyi said, "Mr. Wen, there is no need for such formality."

Wen Lingjun stayed silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "Marquis Qin Wu has already taken Wen He under his command, presumably, it was Wen He himself who wanted to bring me here, knowing him, he must have already written to my friends and colleagues and also refused the Wen family and the Court."

"The former merely embarrasses me publicly, while the latter utterly bars me from ever serving as an official in the Court; even if I did serve, I would only be a minor sixth-ranked official."

Li Guanyi: "..."

At this moment, once again he felt how valuable Mr. Wen He was in his own camp.

Wen Lingjun looked at Li Guanyi and said, "Now that it has come to this, there is no need to say anything else. Wen Lingjun has only the talent of a Scribe, Marquis Qin Wu values me, but I still have a question to ask you."

Wen Lingjun was not moved by Li Guanyi’s sincerity.

He quietly asked, "Do you intend to overthrow the Red Emperor’s rule?"

Wen Lingjun, a descendant of officials who had long partaken of the Court’s stipend and received great grace, naturally asked this question; at this time, if Li Guanyi were to say ’no,’ then Wen Lingjun would surely join his side.
