After hearing Cui Jin's words, Zhang Quanshan was immediately stunned.
Looking at Cui Jin, his eyes became a little strange.
"Cui Jin, are you scared?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Jin subconsciously opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
Really? Why is he afraid?
From the very beginning, when they conspired with Master Feng to do these things, he knew clearly that if something happened, it would be a capital crime of beheading.
It was not that I never thought that one day I would be targeted by the imperial court.
But at that time, he didn't have any fear in his heart. Instead, when the incident came, he immediately panicked in his heart.
If Zhang Quanshan hadn't said this, he wouldn't have noticed it yet.
Once, all he thought about was to work with his father-in-law to help the eldest prince ascend to the throne. They were doing big things. With money and soldiers in their hands, they could help the eldest prince at the critical moment.
Once the eldest prince ascends to the throne, they will surely be at the top of their game, and they will definitely be able to rank high in the imperial court and become important ministers of the imperial court.
But when it came time to face him, the eldest prince had long since disappeared from his mind, and all he could think about was life and death.
Facing the very possibility of death, this made him afraid.
"Master Zhang, father-in-law, aren't you afraid?"
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Cui Jin, those who achieve great things must be ruthless. You are so afraid of life and death. Did I misjudge you at the beginning?"
"Father-in-law, I..."
"Cui Jin, you have been following me since you married my daughter. I know that if it weren't for my daughter, you wouldn't have followed me. But if you hadn't followed me, you wouldn't be where you are now.
, you have accumulated a lot of savings over the years, right? You are living a good life, right? "
After hearing this, Cui Jin's expression became very complicated.
Zhang Quanshan was right. Even he couldn't believe his current life. He had more than enough for everything he once wanted. He already had too much money and women.
These must not escape Zhang Quanshan's eyes.
"Father-in-law, I would like to thank you for all this. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I understand all of this in my heart."
"Cui Jin, I'm very optimistic about you, otherwise I wouldn't have indulged you so much. Now that Long Lin is here, I'm afraid it's time for the final battle. He has forced us to have no way out and we can only fight to the death with him."
A trace of determination flashed in Zhang Quanshan's eyes.
He originally planned to keep this power hidden in the dark until the eldest prince needed it in the future, but then he had no choice but to fight to the death with Long Lin.
Cui Jin looked at Zhang Quanshan and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Master Zhang, do we have to fight? In fact, we can give up the mine. Even if Long Lin takes over the mine, if we don't show up in the mine, how can he know that the people behind it are us? In this way, we can still
Can that army continue to hide in the dark and continue to wait for news from the eldest prince?"
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, he immediately laughed.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but from the moment Long Lin appeared, he had already thought that Long Lin would never let him go.
If it were another minister, they wouldn't be targeting him directly.
But the people who came were Long Lin and Long Qian, two royal highnesses from the imperial court. How could these two people not know about his relationship with the eldest prince?
After killing him, there will no longer be any supporter behind the eldest prince. Wouldn't this be a good thing for Long Lin and Long Qian in the future? How could they not think of this?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to let him go.
"Cui Jin, do you think that if you hand over the mine, Long Lin will be able to give up?"
"Master Zhang, don't you think that's not the case? The people Long Lin is looking for are the people in those villages. After finding the mine, he will naturally find those people."
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, he immediately laughed.
Normally, Cui Jin is very shrewd, but with fear in his heart, he thinks of things so simply. Is he so frightened that he loses his mind?
"Yes, after finding the mine, Long Lin found the people, but the mine produced so many weapons, wouldn't he look for it? If those weapons have been sold, what about the money after selling them? Wouldn't he look for it? Already?"
When asked this question, Cui Jin fell silent.
Zhang Quanshan was right, Long Lin would definitely not stop, unless he could achieve a huge harvest, it would be impossible to stop after he found the mine.
"So, it can only be one battle?" Cui Jin said bitterly.
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, he nodded slightly.
"Cui Jin, Long Lin and Long Qian came here not for the common people from the beginning. They must have received some news and came here specifically to investigate. Unfortunately, there is something wrong among our people. Such a fool messed up the matter and let Long Lin find out what the people were missing."
After hearing this, Cui Jin's eyes also exuded a sense of hatred.
The bad thing about this matter lies in that person. I had chosen so many people, but I didn't expect that such a cowardly fool would appear.
"If it hadn't been for that damn guy, I'm afraid Long Lin and the others would still be wandering blindly in the mountains without getting any news at all. It was our negligence that led to such a flaw. Master Feng and those guys found out When the matter was exposed, he gave up and left directly, which is simply hateful."
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, he slowly shook his head.
"Cui Jin, you can't blame Master Feng for this. From the very beginning, Master Feng has told us that the person chosen must be extremely reliable and there must be no problems. If something goes wrong, it will be a loss. It's a pity. Unfortunately, things still happen to these little people."
Cui Jin smiled bitterly, Master Feng did indeed say that back then.
"Okay, that's it. Do we still follow the previous plan and launch an attack on Long Lin and others?"
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, his eyes immediately became firm and he nodded slightly.
It would be best if he could kill Long Lin and others in one fell swoop. Even if the emperor was furious and punished him, he would not kill him directly, so that the army in his hands could be preserved.
Seeing Zhang Quanshan nodding, Cui Jin spoke again.
"Okay, father-in-law, it's settled. After Long Lin arrives, we will adapt accordingly. The mine has already been arranged. If he really leads the forbidden troops to attack the mine, our people will surround him from inside and outside. , launch the most violent attack on them."
"Cui Jin, this is a desperate move. Life and death depend on it. I know that you have secretly sent several children away. It's good that you can save them one by one. If everything goes well afterwards, you can send them away later.
Take it back, if we all die, then we can only accept our fate."
After Cui Jin heard this, he was immediately shocked.
He had done this matter very secretly, but Zhang Quanshan was still aware of it clearly. It seemed that for the first time, he clearly discovered that Zhang Quanshan was not as incompetent as he thought.
After all, he was still too young, high-spirited and a little self-righteous.
"Yes, father-in-law, I understand."
After Zhang Quanshan heard this, he smiled bitterly and nodded.
