After a long time, Ma Beichen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I didn't expect that there are such bizarre things in the world. From this point of view, we are just frogs in the well."
Since they were born, they have known what kind of situation they are facing.
But now that they know that they are just a group of rats kept in a box and are in danger of being slaughtered at any time, they can't help but feel a little lost.
For a moment, it was like a small boat abandoned on the sea. The ups and downs were completely out of my control, and it was inevitable to feel a little discouraged.
Lin Mengya picked up the tea and moistened her dry throat.
"Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Fairy City has its fatal weakness, and we are not without advantages. It's just that if we continue to work on our own, and we don't need Fairy City to fight, we will be finished."
Cheng Su nodded, he understood this deeply.
In recent years, whether it is the friction between various aristocratic families or the covetousness of surrounding small countries, the deep-seated contradictions of Weiguo have been exposed.
For example, in his army, the commander-in-chief and the deputy-general often disagreed because of different political opinions.
The people below most formed small teams based on the interests of the family, and when fighting, they did not obey orders at all.
This is true in a place where discipline is supposed to be strict like the military, let alone anywhere else?
After thinking about it, Cheng Su also raised a key question.
"Your idea is certainly very good, but it's just that using inn clerks to serve as the army, not to mention that the number is too small, they usually do not cooperate with training. How will they cooperate when they go to the battlefield?"
"Don't worry about this." She curled her lips and smiled with a gentle look in her eyes.
The second brother is not the only one in the family who knows this, but there are also men in her family, right?
"The inn and business lines are just cover. We will find a suitable place to train a group of private soldiers. And at the end of each year, we will have these private soldiers come to the Gong family fief for training in the name of inventory."
Although she cannot be 100% sure that there are no spies from other families in the fiefdom, within this year, she will gradually eliminate them and remove those nails that are in the way.
In the past few days, there has been some progress in the excavation of stone jade.
She will try her best to expel those people from the fairy city within this year and seal the Gong family's land as solidly as an iron barrel.
Cheng Su's expression also became slightly more relaxed.
He was not like Ma Beichen who felt he had nowhere to start.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful an opponent is, he will always have weaknesses.
Throughout the ages, there are many examples of using less to win more.
There is no need to admit defeat before the two parties take action.
How will you know anything if you don't try it?
"Okay, after I go back, I will send a group of people with combat experience I will bring over experienced generals. You don’t need to worry, they all come from poor families, and they are only my personal strength and have nothing to do with the Cheng family."
Lin Mengya felt happy, she was just missing this.
"Thank you so much, General Cheng."
Cheng Su waved his hand and his attitude was much gentler than before.
"From now on, just call me Cheng Su, and I'll just call you Su Mei."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Seeing their negotiations proceeding amicably, Ma Beichen became anxious.
He gave Cheng Su a sideways glance and said with great dissatisfaction, "I said cold-faced ghost, what do you mean? There is no one to bully me, right? You agreed so easily, and you are not afraid that your old man will offend you."
?”
Cheng Su didn't care at all.
"This is my own person."
"You are just bullying me! What an amazing person!"
"you have not."
"Just wait for me. I will report you in front of your old man when I get home!"
Ma Beichen was furious and gritted his teeth.
Unfortunately, this threat was not very effective. At least Cheng Su didn't take it seriously. The other two people also secretly laughed when they saw it.
If she can't beat her, she will sue her parents. This is so childish that her son is too lazy to play.
Lin Mengya felt disgusted in her heart, but she still wanted to persuade her.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ma has done us a big favor before. Are all the injuries he suffered last time healed?"
Ma Beichen didn't really want to have trouble with Cheng Su. Over the years, he was used to it.
Now that someone has given him the steps to step down, there is no need for him to hold up.
He turned his head and gave her a smile that he thought was charming.
"It's been fine for a long time. When did I take this little skin injury to heart? However, Miss Xiaomei knows that the Gong family has offended Liao Zhong, and I'm afraid this college will be greatly affected."
Lin Mengya has always been a little allergic to Ma Beichen's overly intimate addresses. Fortunately, Long Tianyu is not here, otherwise it would be easy to catch fire.
"We have our own way of handling Liao Zhong's matter."
"But those small families always like to protect themselves. How about this? I will merge the Ma family's clan school with the college. From now on, all the children of our Ma family will be sent to Sita College. What do you think?"
If the Ma family takes a stand, it must be able to inspire some people.
Lin Mengya knew that this was Ma Beichen expressing his sincerity.
Like Cheng Su, she had no reason not to accept it.
"Then I will thank Mr. Ma on behalf of Third Brother."
"There's no need to be polite between you and me. I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, sister Xiaomei, just call me Brother Chen."
Lin Mengya suddenly had goosebumps. This person was too shameless.
At this time, even the third brother next to him looked a little bad. Lin Mengya smiled reluctantly, but still did not agree to him.
"Our palace family has strict rules. Thank you Mr. Ma for your kindness. Oh, I suddenly remembered that there was a pot of old fire soup brewed at home. Third brother, we have to go back quickly. Let's say goodbye first."
Seeing her almost trotting downstairs and getting into the carriage, Ma Beichen's face turned dark. ??
Through the window, he waved his hands eagerly, hoping to leave a loving impression on his sister Xiaomei, but unfortunately the other party did not give him this chance.
"Am I that scary?"
Holding a boy's heart riddled with holes, Ma Beichen muttered to himself in a very depressed manner.
"Ah."
When Cheng Su next to him heard this, he only gave him a word of unknown meaning.
Suddenly, he looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, staring at the guy in front of him with fur all over his body.
"Did you say something in front of sister Xiaomei?"
"Everyone is gone, why are you pretending?"
Cheng Su didn't pay attention to his behavior. He had grown up and didn't know the other person's virtues?
Sure enough, Ma Beichen put away his frivolous and dissolute manner, opened the tea cup, narrowed his eyes and drank a little.
"I think what she said is true. But how to convince my old man, I still need to think carefully."
Cheng Su nodded.
Everyone knew that the eldest young master of the Ma family was a cynical playboy, but no one knew that this man could not be more cunning.
Although he didn't deal with Ma Beichen, he was the one who trusted him the most.
"After you go back, you should report your brother-in-law's matter to Uncle Cheng first. We still need to discuss other matters in the long run."
After leaving the teahouse and returning to the Gong family, she was not worried at all about the Ma and Cheng families.
Right now, what needs to be resolved most is the potential dangers in Feiye City.
As soon as she got home, she received the news.
It is said that after Dumu was driven out and was penniless, he actually got into a fight with a group of beggars and even disturbed the patrol team.
But in the end, when the patrol arrived, everyone had dispersed and no one was caught.
When Ning Liang received the news, he didn't dare to neglect it and contacted her directly.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, seemed extremely calm and didn't seem to be worried about this matter.
"Miss, there is something unknown about the young one. Since Du Mu is alone, why don't we take the opportunity to arrest him? , interrogate and interrogate properly?”
Lin Mengya smiled and asked, "If you were Du Mu and knew that your conspiracy was exposed and you were being targeted, would you still fight with a beggar for some money and alert the patrol?"
When she said this, Ning Liang understood.
"Miss, what you mean is that he deliberately attracted our attention? But, if that's the case, why did he run away? If he was caught by the patrol, wouldn't it disturb our family?"
Lin Mengya put down the half-read roster of college students with a rather amused look in her eyes.
"How do you know the thoughts of a smart person? If we catch him so easily, who will believe him? Why not peel off the cocoon and finally be cornered and get caught by us again, wouldn't it be more logical? Don't worry about him and let people keep an eye on him.
That’s it. However, who he met and what he did must be reported one by one.”
"Yes, I understand, little one."
As soon as Ning Liang exited, Long Tianyu came over immediately.
As soon as he entered the room, the man took off his mask, revealing his handsome and flawless face.
Lin Mengya rubbed her eyebrows and looked at her man with a smile.
No wonder so many women come to follow her in person, beauty is misleading!
"What are you thinking about?"
When Long Tianyu saw the evil smile on her face, he knew that this person might be thinking of something else.
Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with him.
"It's nothing, I was thinking that my husband-in-law is really good-looking."
Such a simple and straightforward compliment, coming from her little mouth, somehow made him so happy.
Reaching out and scratching her little nose, Long Tianyu took out a small cloth bag from his arms with a smile in his eyes.
A sweet peach fragrance wafted out instantly.
"Here, here it is for you."
The small cloth bag was placed on the table, and a few fist-sized peaches rolled out in an instant.
The fine fuzz has been wiped off, but the delicate peach skin has not been scratched.
As soon as you smell it, you can tell that the pulp inside may be delicious and juicy.
She immediately picked it up and took a bite
With a "Puff" sound, the sweet juice filled her mouth, which was exactly the taste she liked.
"Why is it so sweet? Where did you buy it?"
When Long Tianyu saw that she liked it, his heart felt sweeter than eating a peach.
"While exploring the area with them, I accidentally discovered a wild peach tree. I've had someone dig it up by the roots. How about I plant it in your yard?"
Lin Mengya nodded repeatedly, such a variety is rare.
After eating three in a row, she patted her half-full belly and talked to him with a smile.
