Chapter 150
In Xiao Chen's study room, twelve people sat unevenly.
The white-haired Chen Jisheng, the beardless Zhao Gongming, the calm Zhuge Xiaosheng, the frowning Ye Baiqing, the absent-minded Wei Yuntian, the nonchalant Xiao Ye, the excited Duan Linger, the thoughtful Liu Mo Feng, the dark-faced Wen Shanchang, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Gou'er.
Liu Xiangqin served tea and water for the big guys, and seeing that they might have something important to discuss, she was about to go out to avoid them, but Xiao Chen stopped her.
Because Liu Xiangqin is now her own.
"The emperor asked me to lead troops to fight against Xianbo and recover the lost land in Yanyun County. I only gave three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, and these things." Xiao Chen played with the legendary Shang Fang in his hand. The sword feels quite ordinary.
"Can this Shangfang sword really kill whoever it wants?" Chen Xiaohu had only heard of this thing from the storyteller, and felt very miraculous.
"Take it out and try it." Xiao Chen casually threw the sword to him.
"It's just a symbol to show that the boss is a token to go out on behalf of the emperor. It's okay to use it to fool the common people, but it's really useless." Ye Baiqing said.
"What about this seal of command? Can it be used to dispatch troops and command thousands of troops?" Chen Gou'er looked at the golden seal of the general on the table eagerly, wondering if it was made of pure gold?
"It's just a token, it's just a symbol of honor. Soldiers are needed for dispatching troops. People don't recognize this thing." Ye Baiqing shook her head.
"What's this?" Duan Ling'er held her hands up, grabbed a small dragon-shaped gold medal on the table and looked at it curiously.
"This is the flag of Wang Ming, and it is the most useful of the three." Ye Baiqing said.
"What's the use?" Duan Ling'er saw that one side of the badge was decorated with dragons and flying tigers, but the other side was engraved with four small characters, as if I were here in person!
"Holding it is tantamount to holding the emperor's order. In theory, it can act on behalf of the emperor." Zhuge Xiaosheng said, "That's why it's called Ruzhen personally."
"Then you can do whatever you want?" Duan Ling'er was overjoyed when she heard the words, "You can rebel, too?"
"This is just the emperor's imperial order in theory, and it doesn't have that much effect in reality, but it is much stronger than the marshal Yin and the monk Fang Baojian. Hehe, the emperor paid a lot of money to kill Xiao Chen." Zhuge Xiaosheng Hehe sneered.
"The emperor just wants to use this to show that he sent Xiao Chen to die as a last resort, and that's why he spent such a large amount of money. He wants to stop the mouths of the world, but this is treating everyone as fools. The result must be self-defeating and counterproductive." Chen Jisheng stroked his beard and said.
"These are not important anymore. Now our question is how to deal with it, or where to go?" Ye Baiqing said.
"One way to live, one way to die." Zhao Gongming said suddenly.
"I would like to hear more about it, Eunuch Zhao." Ye Baiqing said hastily.
"Do you need to ask? The way of life is naturally that the big guys run together, grab a sea boat from Haining Bay, and go wherever you want, Dongying is also fine, Yizhou is also fine, if it is not possible, go directly south to Burma and you can survive , or simply cross the ocean and find a place to settle down." Zhao Gongming said.
Naturally, there is no need to ask about the dead end, it is the road pointed by the emperor, all the way to the north, leading to hell.
"Hehe, my opinion is exactly the opposite of that of Old Zhao. The way of life he said is actually a way of death, but the so-called way of death is a way of life." Chen Jisheng laughed.
Oh? Everyone turned their heads to look at him, wondering why the old man's words were surprising?
"Old Zhao, you really underestimated the emperor's IQ. Since he wanted Xiao Chen to die, would he leave him any way out? Let's make a bet, we will board all the ships in Haining Bay Don't go! And as long as we make a slight change, we will be captured immediately."
"On the contrary, going to the north is the way to survive. Although the situation there is severe, we can survive in danger. Find a way to revive this dead chess game. As long as the chess board is turbulent, not only will we not die, but we can also have a very good life." A good foothold and no worries from now on.”
Chen Jisheng may not have a good opinion, but it is a clear opinion.
"If Xiao Chen is Xiao Chen, maybe he can gain a foothold, but if Xiao Chen is not Xiao Chen, can he still stand firm and have no worries?" Zhao Gongming's words were aimed at Chen Jisheng, because he knew that today Xiao Chen might want to It's a showdown with Chen Jisheng.
"Huh? Old Zhao, what do you mean by that? I don't understand either." Chen Jisheng was stunned.
"Old man, even now, I have to tell you my real identity. In fact, I am the former prince, Zhu Yuanqi." Xiao Chen said softly.
Before Chen Jisheng could answer, Liu Xiangqin yelled first, and seeing everyone turning their heads to look at her, her face blushed immediately, and her pink neck drooped.
Liu Mofeng's face was pale, and his hands, which were always steady, trembled involuntarily.
Chen Xiaohu and Chen Gou'er looked dazed, their brains were relatively rigid, and they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem for a while.
But this is actually not important to them, no matter who Xiao Chen is, no matter what dead end or life he is going, they will resolutely follow to the end,
"Stinky boy, it's hard for you to hide from the old man!" Chen Jisheng was at a loss at first, then suddenly, his face changed several times, and finally he sighed deeply.
"Old man, don't hesitate, I told you this big secret today, I must kill you to silence it, unless you are willing to rebel with me." Xiao Chen's threat seemed very weak.
"Oh? I call you a brat, is this a threat to the old man?" Chen Jisheng blew his beard and stared.
"Master Yifu, I think you should stop following my boss, lest you lose your reputation. I heard that there is a glass of poisoned wine here. You can drink it and you will be fine. Xiangqin and I will arrange your funeral." Wei Yuntian said.
Just like Zhao Gongming.
"Does Dan Qiu know about this?" Chen Jisheng ignored him, but asked Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen shook his head silently.
"Well, let me ask you again, do you care about the world, or do you just want a quiet corner?" Chen Jisheng asked again.
"Old man, to tell you the truth, I am also very confused now, I can only survive first, let's talk about the later things later." Xiao Chen sighed.
"Hmph, I knew you had no ambitions!" Chen Jisheng also sighed, "You have always only thought about your own well-being, and never thought that the common people in the world are still in dire straits."
"Father, you can't say that as an old man. Boss, why didn't he care about the people? Did you forget how many refugees he saved when he was in Weizhou County?" Wei Yuntian said.
"These are just small favors, so why worry about them? Xiao Chen, even if Yanyun County can accommodate you, how long can you accommodate them? Where will you go from now on, and what will happen to the brothers who follow you?" Chen Jisheng asked again. Sighed.
"Then what do you mean, old man..." Xiao Chen asked.
"My meaning is not important, what is important is your meaning!" Chen Jisheng lost his temper suddenly, and slammed the table loudly!
