"Mr. Su is indeed a wonderful man. In that case, I have something to say. Indeed, Brother Cheng and I came to the Gong family. However, we all know that wanting to annex the Gong family is simply wishful thinking. But
When we cooperate with the Gong family, the risks are not small."
If you are open and honest, things will be much easier to handle later on.
Lin Mengya felt that since it was cooperation, there was nothing wrong with clarifying the conditions first.
Interests are interests, favors are favors, and the two cannot be confused.
"Indeed, but what if I told you that only by cooperating with the Gong family can you possibly save your family?"
Ma Beichen looked at her in confusion, but Cheng Su's expression was a little more profound.
"What does this mean?"
Faced with Ma Beichen's question, Lin Mengya looked at Cheng Su.
"I believe that Major General Cheng must have noticed something. Underneath the flowers and flowers of Weiguo, there is an abnormal undercurrent that is ready to move."
Cheng Su took a deep breath, and when he looked at her again, his eyes were filled with hatred and confusion.
"You know those people?"
"Well, I know a little more than you do. I have also fought against them, but every time, I am slightly better."
Cheng Su fell silent again, while Ma Beichen was as anxious as a monkey.
Pointing at Cheng Su, he started shouting.
"Okay, you are actually hiding a secret behind my back! Tell me, what is going on?"
Cheng Su looked at Ma Beichen and whispered, "Do you still remember my brother-in-law?"
"Didn't your brother-in-law disappear while suppressing bandits a few years ago?"
Cheng Su shook his head and finally had the chance to reveal the secrets in his heart.
"My brother-in-law is three years older than me, and we have grown up together since we were young. He is superb in martial arts and is a god with soldiers. Five years ago, I went to the border with my brother-in-law to suppress bandits, but I didn't expect that overnight he would be like those of his
Brothers, all disappeared. I was in the rear camp, and I only heard someone saying that they had mistakenly entered the demonic mist and been transformed by it. But I didn't believe it, so that night I sneaked into the place where they disappeared to check.
But I saw stumps scattered on the ground. I thought they were ambushed by wild beasts, but I met a person. No, not a person, but a living dead who feeds on living people!"
When he mentioned what happened five years ago, a coldness seemed to invade his internal organs.
Except for Lin Mengya, the two remaining people in the room couldn't help but shudder when they heard Cheng Su's increasingly gloomy story.
Ma Beichen crossed his arms and tried to smooth away the goosebumps caused by trembling.
"You kid, I asked you to talk about business, not to tell strange stories!"
"No, he is telling the truth. The one who came to attack the city that night was Something like this.”
The sudden sound startled Ma Beichen to the core.
He only felt a chill running straight from his spine into Tianling Gai.
"Is it possible that there really are ghosts in this world?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and continued, "These things are not ghosts. What they look like is similar to the puppets of the Mu family. However, they are more powerful than the puppets."
The reason why people are afraid of ghosts and gods is because there are many things that cannot be explained by common sense and can only be attributed to the power of ghosts and gods.
But if the intangible things are made tangible, then there will be no such fear.
"In addition to these things, those who came to attack the city that night also had some beasts that had been trained to serve as an army of beasts. Although you two were at the dinner party that night, the secret sentry you placed outside the city sent back the message
Some news, so you started to doubt it, right?"
The two hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
In fact, it was not just them who had doubts, but many people also had some suspicions.
Because outside the city that night, except for Ma Ji and the Cheng family's men who were secretly ambushing, there were no losses, but many of the other families suffered losses.
I don’t know what method the fairy city used to avoid so many pairs of eyes, so that the beasts and the medicine puppets appeared outside the city without anyone noticing.
However, I later heard from those who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Many people died in their sleep along the way.
There were no wounds on his body, so he probably died of poisoning.
Most of those people lived close to the roadside and riverside, and some who returned home late were also affected by the rice seedlings.
As for the men secretly placed outside the city by the aristocratic families, it was because they had to go back to protect the remaining clan members on the night of the banquet, so they escaped disaster.
However, there are also those who continue to stay, so there is no way to avoid them.
But they broke their teeth and swallowed it. After all, they were guests, and they secretly ambush their men outside the city. They had bad intentions.
As for the Ma family and the Cheng family, she believed that their intentions were different from others.
Therefore, I quietly protected them.
It was precisely because of this that their people got some information, but it was not that clear.
"Well, firstly, they sent back the news that they were stopped in the house by your family and not allowed to come out. Secondly, although you did it very secretly, I always felt that something was wrong with the banquet.
. But I asked everyone, and they all said they didn’t notice anything. Therefore, I also doubted whether there was something wrong with my own feelings.”
Ma Beichen touched his nose and said with a smile.
Lin Mengya knew that some things could not be hidden from these smart people.
She didn't want to hide it too tightly. If they wanted to know, then they could check it out themselves.
"That night, they wanted to sneak attack Feiye City and kill us all. Fortunately, the head of the family and His Highness Xi had already received the news, and they were on tight guard to save everyone. The reason why they didn't tell you is because you never
I’ve seen something like this before. I’m afraid that when the time comes, I’ll be scared out of my wits and make a mistake.”
Lin Mengya did not hesitate to put gold on her and her men's faces.
It's fine if you don't know. If you know, why don't you take credit?
Upon hearing what she said, Ma Beichen and Cheng Su also knew the seriousness of what happened that night.
In my heart, I couldn't help but admire those two people who had great righteousness in their hearts.
Especially Cheng Su, who had investigated this matter in his early years and knew the dangers of it, so he had a more favorable impression of His Highness Xi.
"Thank you, Gong family and His Highness, for your blessing."
Cheng Su's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Mengya waved her hand, as if she didn't care about it.
"It doesn't matter, we are all the same people. However, His Highness and the head of the family have the world at heart, so they can make such a sacrifice. Although it is commendable, they do not want others to thank them."
Gong San was standing aside, unable to control his expression.
He pretended to cough a few times to remind his sister that if he continued to praise her, he would blush for her, okay?
As everyone knows, Cheng Su deeply believes it.
"Yes, Mr. Su is right. Your Highness and the head of the Gong family are both men of noble character, which makes us really ashamed. I also know that there is no way for an egg to be destroyed when the whole family is together. I, the Cheng family, are willing to follow Your Highness and defend me to the death.
David Jiangshan!"
It is true that Cheng Su is a member of the Cheng family, but he is also a soldier.
Guarding the border is his responsibility, and defending his homeland is his ideal.
If such a day comes, he will definitely put aside some grudges and fight just to defend his country.
In comparison, he is more persuasive than Ma Beichen.
But his statement made Ma Beichen seem a little passive.
This man blew his beard and glared at Cheng Su for a while, but the other party remained unmoved at all.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this idiot Cheng didn't even know he bought it.
Knowing that Ma Beichen was not as easy to fool as Cheng Su, Lin Mengya spoke up. change.
"Major General Cheng is young, promising, loyal and courageous, which is really admirable. However, this matter is not related to my Gong family, but to the life and death of the entire Wei Kingdom. To be honest, those people's ambitions are
, and it doesn’t just replace the royal family.”
"Oh? They can't want to annex the entire Wei Kingdom, right?"
Ma Beichen didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet, and Lin Mengya didn't mind telling him.
"Their purpose is to destroy the Wei Kingdom and then make their own people the masters of this land. And the descendants of you and me will be their slaves for the rest of our lives!"
"This is impossible! How many aristocratic families are there in Weiguo? How many people are there? They want to annex them one by one. It is simply a fantasy!"
Ma Beichen immediately retorted fiercely, and Lin Mengya knew there would be such a result.
"What if I say that the so-called temple, the so-called royal family, the royal family, and the ten major aristocratic families are all their means to check and balance us and divide us? Mr. Ma, do you think that in this way, do they have the ability to enslave us?"
At this moment, Ma Beichen was speechless.
It is clear to the spectators who are confused by the authorities, because Lin Mengya comes from another world, so she knows that such division is actually pathological and abnormal.
The culprit behind all this is the fairy city hidden underground.
But Ma Beichen definitely doesn't think so. This is the world he was born into. How can he jump out of this world and see something that doesn't exist in his memory at all?
"This this"
"There are many things going on, and I can't explain them all to you right now. The reason why I and you two don't hide it is because we don't have much time left, and we must act immediately. Otherwise, we will only be the swordsmen and the fish.
It’s my share.”
She's not being alarmist.
Regarding the third brother's matter, there might be something behind Xiancheng's hand.
Once the conspiracy starts, it will never stop until the goal is achieved.
As a result, recruiting collaborators is imperative.
The Ma family and the Cheng family were the first ones she selected after much consideration.
A single tree cannot make a forest. No matter how powerful the Gong family is, they cannot contend alone.
After spending a lot of words, Lin Mengya gave a preliminary outline of her plan to the two of them.
Those two people are both smart people, and Lin Mengya doesn't want to let them decide now.
It's a matter of life and death, and we have to go home and discuss it carefully before we act.
Ma Beichen and Cheng Su also asked some questions, and she answered them one by one as long as they could be discussed.
