Chapter 994
"What if this prince-in-law really has this ability? He is not in Dongyue, this one alone is enough to protect the Cheng family. If something really happens, we can also have a choice." Chen Ze'an said calmly: "In the territory of Dongyue, that person can reach it."
"But even if the emperor can do anything to us after leaving the territory of Dongyue, what can the emperor do to us? According to our young master's words, they are not unsure now. If there is no bargaining chip, how could they mobilize you madam openly?"
How could Cheng Ansu not know this, so he looked at his husband with unfulfilled intentions: "What do you mean?"
"Since he shows goodwill, we don't have to refuse it directly. We can just take this wish and take it aside." Chen Ze'an asked back, "Madam, if one day Chen Tianxiao attacks the capital or really becomes king in Beiguan, what will happen to Your Majesty and what will happen to the Cheng family?"
Without waiting for Cheng Ansu to answer, Chen Ze'an said: "Everyone lives for fame and fortune. Even if they have feelings and friendship, they must understand the current affairs. What choice will the students of the academy make?"
A word touched Cheng Ansu's pain point. When the students went back to the streets and asked for their appointments, it seemed that the students were being provoked by Cheng Cen. In fact, they were also thinking of showing their heads in front of His Majesty. If they could summon His Majesty to attract his eyes, they would be proud of them.
"What you mean is not to directly refuse the prince-consort and keep in touch with him. If there is really a one-day rebellion between Your Majesty and the Cheng family, the prince-consort can save the Cheng family from water and fire?" Cheng Ansu just asked, and did not expect his husband to answer: "This is indeed the best choice."
Chen Zean felt that the biggest advantage of her wife was that she did not learn from her father's pedantic behavior, and she felt much more at ease.
"If the lady is determined, it is better to discuss it with her second brother. If this matter is feasible, take advantage of the young master's plan on Duanyang," Chen Ze'an said: "After all, it is inconvenient to convey the message. I don't know when we will meet when the young master leaves Duanyang."
Cheng Ansu nodded: "Since that's the case, I'm now sending a letter. The one sold by the prince-consin is good, we'll accept it."
If Qin Feng had not reminded them, how could they know what happened in Beiguan? And there would be no way to know that the Cheng family was almost dragged down by Cheng Cen to the point of no return. Fortunately, there is no conclusion yet in Beiguan, and they still have the opportunity to protect themselves!
Cheng Ansu made up his mind and wrote the letter easily. After the ink was dry, he sealed it and handed it over to Chen Ze'an.
This matter is of great importance. This letter cannot fall into the hands of a third party. Only by handing it to Long Qi can you feel at ease.
"You young master is of extraordinary origin, but you can be willing to live under the prince's consort. It can be seen that this prince's consort is really extraordinary. Even my father is willing to hand over the collection of books to him. If he really wants to join him, he will not surrender."
This is what Cheng Ansu’s personality is. Chen Zean loves her very much. After he received the letter, he said, “This is a wise move.”
"I hope Cheng Cen can stop his horse, and I hope Zhenbeihou can maintain the status quo and allow the Cheng family and the academy to live a safe life." Cheng Ansu said: "It is easy to move out of the genealogy, but it is difficult to cut off the bloodline."
Otherwise, there is no need to worry that Your Majesty will take off his anger at the Cheng family because of Cheng Cen. The Cheng family is still relying on its past reputation. If Your Majesty suppresses it, it will sooner or later have a fragmented ending. When he thinks of this possibility, Cheng Ansu becomes more and more eager to contact Qin Feng.
The night was getting heavier and heavier. Cheng Ansu calmed down after Chen Ze'an's persuasion and finally calmed down.
At this time, Long Qi and A Chen were searching for a cave in the wild to make a fire and sleep. Although they slept on the ground last night, they were at least indoors. Now, they were half open and the cold wind was howling outside. They could only stay warm by the fire.
A Chen saw Long Qi closing his eyes and thought deeply, not daring to show his breath, and silently chewing the dried meat that Long Qi threw at him in his hand.
They made a big discovery today!
The magistrate and the county magistrate actually appeared nearby, and the tools were just mining, and they were just accused of rebellion without any intention. They were so brave that A Chen couldn't understand Long Qi. This elder brother was actually overjoyed?
After chewing the jerky meat again, A Chen still couldn't help it: "Brother."
"Is there something wrong?"
"They will be beheaded if they are found to be mined in private, right?"
"The worst case is that the whole family is killed, and the minor ones are also beheaded, and the family is exiled," Long Qi said: "This must be the case when their behavior is exposed. They are now doing it secretly and no one comes to supervise it. Who knows?"
"Didn't you say that a high-ranking official is coming?" A Chen said.
A light that was not easy to detect in Long Qi's eyes: "Even we know that there are third-rank officials coming, don't they know?"
A Chen wanted to slap himself in a mouth, and his mind was so stupid that he was dysfunctional. But no, everyone knew that he was coming, and he would definitely hide it tightly and not let the visitor know. When they left, they would continue to do it.
"Don't reveal what happened today, and don't make any decisions here. If you touch the scales of the opposite, the balance between you and the government will definitely be broken. There is no good end to fighting with the people." Long Qi said lightly.
A Chen was startled, and some of the thoughts that had just begun disappeared without a trace. He smiled dryly and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
That's a mine, it should be a gold mine. He really thought that it would be great if he brought his brothers to make it?
If they succeed, they will not have to worry about the rest of their lives, but this elder brother said it makes sense. If the guards here are not told, they have finally occupied the territory here. If the government knows that they can't afford to take over, and their backs will be absolutely lost.
What a pity, what a pity, A Chen bit the jerky meat hard and chewed it out like anger!
Long Qi sneered in his heart. This kid wanted to be a bad guy, but unfortunately he had the idea. When the tribesmen arrived, they could just grab the mine to test their current strength. If they succeeded, they would bring an extra gift to the young master this time, which would definitely satisfy the young master!
In this case, how could this kid come down with his hands to grab the opportunity?
Long Qi looked at A Chen who was unwilling to give up. Speaking of which, this kid is also easy to fool, and he was scared away after a few words. This man looked smart but honest. He thought of another plan before, and his fingers were bounced on his legs.
He suddenly realized that his actions were exactly the same as Qin Feng, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. After staying with the young master for a long time, even some of his behaviors were affected by it and they would be integrated into his bones.
Thinking of Qin Feng who was exhausted at Ku Cliff, Long Qi frowned slightly. Duke Lin's arrival made Ku Cliff's progress one step faster, and Huang Tang and the others would also have a place to use it, but insufficient manpower is still the biggest problem.
