Chapter: 5115

As he finished speaking, he quickly lowered his voice and said in a flattering tone: "Special envoy, I have two matters of great importance to report to you!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, saying calmly: "What is it? Please go ahead and tell me."

That person hurriedly said, "The first thing is that this medicine has a problem!"

Ye Chen curiously asked, "What's wrong with the medicine?"

That person explained, "Reporting to the special envoy, I have taken this new antidote and all toxins in my body disappeared without a trace!"

Ye Chen pretended to be surprised and scolded, "It's just nonsense! The new antidote is specially prepared by the emperor for you guys, so that you can take medicine less frequently and complete more arduous tasks. Its effect is to make the time for toxic substances to emerge in your body from 7 days to 15 days, how could it make all toxins disappear?"

That person's face was full of anxiety as he said, "Ah, special envoy, I'm telling you the truth! Not only did my own toxins disappear, but those of the other 11 people also didn't exist anymore!"

As he spoke, that person continued, "This is related to the second thing I want to report to you. Just now, Left Flag Leader Li Nianzong has called on us to take advantage of the situation and seize control of the copper mine, even wanting us to join forces with the organization against you. If you don't crush them quickly, they might lead all the cavalries and death squads in a full-scale rebellion!"

Ye Chen paused for a moment before asking curiously, "Why do you want to tell me this? Don't you think about breaking free from the organization's control?"

That person was startled when he heard this and thought Ye Chen was trying to probe his loyalty. His face turned pale white, and he hurriedly explained, "Please special envoy, I assure you that I am heart and soul for the organization, with no intention of betrayal! Moreover, I was able to step by step achieve my current position as a middle flag leader, all thanks to the organization's opportunities. I would rather die than betray the organization!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "They all say that the cavalries and death squads, although they obey the organization, are filled with hatred against it and are always thinking of breaking free from its control. It seems this saying is not entirely untrue."

That person immediately took a step forward, bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, and placed his hands on his head in a respectful gesture, saying, "Special envoy, my current position is also the result of the collective efforts of many ancestors. How could I possibly betray them, all those years of effort?"

"Ahaha! You're indeed a talented person! I'm not hiding it from you, this time they're testing you with a new poison that's not really a cure-all. It's actually a special poison concocted by the English Lord to test your loyalty, making the toxin temporarily hide itself inside you, just to see who has intentions to betray the organization and who has loyal hearts!"

The person's expression changed from shock to excitement.

He couldn't help but reveal his joy, blurting out, "Subordinate was just wondering how the English Lord could come up with such a ridiculous cure, never thinking that he would be so wise!"

Ye Chen nodded, saying calmly, "I'm not hiding it from you. The English Lord has always known that most of these cavalries and death squads lack loyalty to him, even filled with hatred. He's not trying to catch those who intend to betray the organization, but rather to use this method to dig out talents like you!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he continued, "Don't worry, I'll report your performance today to the English Lord, and I'm sure he will reward you accordingly. Who knows, maybe even promote you to a commander of the cavalries!"

The person immediately jumped up in excitement, fell to his knees, and bowed his head, saying, "Thank you, special envoy!"

Ye Chen gestured for him to get up, then continued to manipulate him, smiling and asking, "According to your understanding, how many people like you who are truly loyal to the organization among the cavalries?"

The person thought for a moment before opening his mouth. "I can confirm that there aren't many, but at least ten or so! They're all loyal to the organization and hope to achieve their goals through their own efforts."

"Alright!" Ye Chen nodded, warning him, "When you leave here, don't let any of those other nine people suspect anything. Then go find someone who is absolutely certain not to betray the organization and quietly tell them the truth about the poison. When they take it later, have them hold a towel in their left hand so that I can recognize them at a glance. Remember, don't leak any news!"

The person didn't hesitate, blurting out, "Special envoy, subordinate will take care of this right away!"

The third person to enter the office was a short-haired man who had mobilized other cavalry guards to make a surprise counterattack earlier.

When he said "Cavalry Guard's Left Flag Commander seeks an audience with Special Envoy" at the door, Ye Chen recognized his voice.

So, from the moment he entered, Ye Chen began observing him every move. JrNovels.com
