Chapter 2333 We brothers should fly together (please subscribe and vote)
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi with a very suspicious expression on his face, wishing he could take off his smelly socks and stuff them into his mouth.
"Brother Chu Bi, can you be more serious? We are talking about serious things."
"You just say yes or no, don't you dare to answer?"
"...Probably not." Li Ke rolled his eyes helplessly and struggled to explain.
"Brother, I am also a prince after all. I can also provide cover for you, Brother Chu Bi, when necessary."
"Besides, when we arrive in Qizhou, we must not be familiar with the place, but my teacher is.
Besides, I was ordered by my father to assist Brother Chu Bi, the Luoyang Order.
If you go to Qizhou and leave me here in Luoyang, if my father asks me why you went there, how should I answer, little brother?"
Looking at this eloquent royal prodigal, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but wipe his face.
"Okay, go ahead, but remember to bring more guards. Well, the more, the better."
"Why? Are you worried about having a conflict with my little brother... Are you worried about having a conflict with Li You?"
Cheng Chubi patted Li Ke's shoulder with his big hand and spoke sternly.
"Well, maybe you don't know that your good brother has recruited many desperadoes.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected, so I suggest you, dear brother, bring more guards."
Cheng Chubi knew that Li You in another historical time and space had recruited many desperate disciples to rebel, and even killed Quan Wanji.
Who knows if this time, if he went to quietly arrest the gray-eyed man, he would be discovered by Qi Wang Li You.
What if that kid jumps over the wall in a hurry and wants to risk his life by raising a flag of rebellion? If I just bring two or three kittens there, haha... wouldn't that be a trap?
Therefore, since he was going to Qizhou and going to the base camp of Qi King Li You to do something, Cheng Chubi was not sure if he didn't prepare some hard goods or bring more manpower.
Fortunately, during this period of time, I have cured a batch of square bamboo whips. I know the origin of square bamboo, haha, I know it all.
This made Cheng Sanlang couldn't help but think of the two bamboo rats, a male and a female, and wondered whether they had formed a sweet couple.
I am working hard to spread the branches and leaves in my father-in-law's square bamboo garden. I believe that in autumn, I will be able to harvest one or two nests.
After all, although rodents don’t have many advantages, they do have advantages in reproduction.
"Forget it, little brother, I will listen to you, Brother Chu Bi. Then when should we set off?"
Li Ke is a smart man. Hearing what Brother Chu Bi said, he considered Li You's mindless, impulsive and irritable character.
No one can guarantee that that guy will do something crazy in anger. For the sake of your own safety, it is safer to bring more people.
"There's no rush. It will take some time before they return to Qizhou. I guess we'll prepare for a few days first, and then we'll leave Luoyang on the day of rest."
"At that time, Cheng said he would go around Luoyang City to check the construction status of the cement official road. If he wandered out for a few days, no one would be suspicious."
The two of them huddled together in front of the case table and began to murmur obscenely, finally deciding on the serious matter of going to Qizhou to secretly arrest the criminal suspect.
At this moment, the Cheng family and the Li family were squatting at the door, curiously looking at Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke who were winking and whispering inside.
Then I saw Li Ke showing a relieved smile and raising his hand. "Li De, come in."
"Your Highness." As soon as Li De heard this, he quickly entered the room with his head held high and waited attentively for His Highness's instructions.
Then I saw Cheng Sanlang taking out a pair of bamboo cards from under the table. "What are you doing in a daze? Come over quickly and get some."
"..." Li De had a dark look on his face, thinking that the two big guys were discussing some important matter that he should handle on his own, but it turned out that they were playing cards again.
Come on, come on, you're here, and if you don't play cards, you'll be idle.

At Duke Lu's Mansion, the Cheng family was enjoying themselves happily. They had already had dinner and everyone started bragging and spanking.
Unconsciously, the topic changed from today's General Cheng chatting with the Confucian scholars in the court, and gradually changed to urging Cheng Laosi to spread his branches as soon as possible.
Well, the fourth child, Cheng Chucun, and Wu Cha, the wife of Wu San, had already become husband and wife when Cheng Sanlang fled to the plateau.
However, the old mother-in-law couldn't bear to live alone, so she discussed it with her father.
A courtyard was built not far from Lu Guogong's mansion, and the couple took the old mother-in-law, Yang, into the courtyard to support her.
Naturally, General Cheng would not object. After all, the Yang family's mother and daughter had always been at odds with the two wicked children of the Wu family.
It is also appropriate for your own children to support your mother-in-law in her old age.
Nowadays, the only people in the old Cheng family who have not yet married are the fifth and sixth children, well, and the still young Cheng Qibao.
As for Lao Wu, General Cheng is looking for him to see if he can find a good family he likes.
After talking nonsense for a long time, General Cheng noticed the third child and squeezed in front of him again. "What's wrong, Sanlang?"
"Dad, there is a big matter. I want to discuss it with my father. Please help me make an idea."
Having said this, Cheng Chubi lowered his voice. "The matter involves the King of Qi."
General Cheng raised his thick broomstick eyebrows, stroking his thick beard like a steel needle, and glanced at his own sons with his big copper bell eyes.
"Well, the married babies are all here to stay. The fifth and sixth brothers will accompany your sister to the martial arts arena to have some food."
Cheng Chuli, the fifth child, glanced at his fourth brother, who was only two or three years older than himself, with envy and jealousy. He led the sixth and seventh sisters with helpless expressions and decided to go to the martial arts arena to have a good meal.

"Fourth child, come here and sit next to daddy. Now that you have a mother-in-law, if you work harder, you might become a daddy next year."
"So, you are also qualified to be here. Let's take a good look at how dad discusses important matters with your brothers. Watch more and ask dad if you don't understand..."
Seeing his own father teaching the fourth child in a persuasive manner, the Cheng family members couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The adults and brothers of the Cheng family who can be on the stage will naturally help each other. Otherwise, how can we call brothers fighting tigers and father and son fighting in battle?
Seeing that his own father had finished teaching the fourth child and turned his eyes towards him, Cheng Chubi cleared his throat and recounted the clues obtained from today's inquiry one by one.
General Cheng stroked his thick beard, which was as thick as a steel needle, and his gaze fell on the boss and second child.
"What do you two think?"
"Dad, I think the third child is too slow in his movements. In such matters, we should be decisive and find the gray-eyed man first and arrest him directly..."
Before his second brother had finished speaking, the eldest brother shook his head with disgust, slapped Cheng Chuliang on the shoulder, and said sincerely.
"Second brother, if you really do this, the whole matter will be exposed. Do you think His Majesty will be happy with it?"
