Li Xingchen looked at Yang Su with a smile but not a smile: "Brother Chu Dao, what are you still hesitating about? Do you think you and your family have any other way out now?"
Li Xingchen's words suddenly broke the silence in the meeting hall and made a loud sound.
Yang Su, who didn't know what he was thinking, was startled. He immediately understood that Li Xingchen had noticed his hesitation. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I was just thinking about how to act..."
As he spoke, Yang Su solemnly raised his hand to Li Xinchen: "General, please rest assured that the Hongnong Yang family has passed down the family with loyalty and justice, and will act upright and will never do anything treacherous!"
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. He knew that Yang Su was not stupid, so it was reasonable to consider the advantages and disadvantages of doing things this way. After all, Yang Su was not alone. His words and deeds, every decision and commitment must also be dealt with.
The Yang family is responsible for the entire Hongnong.
What's more, the decision made by Yang Su now is likely to affect the rise and fall of the entire Hongnong Yang family, and whether the Hongnong Yang family will still be an important family in the world in the future. After all, it is true according to what Li Xingchen said
, Yang Su had to give up all the foundations and preparations that had been laid by Yang Jian before, and start everything over again.
This kind of decision is not something to be made lightly.
But Li Xingchen knew better. In the end, Yang Su would understand that what Li Xingchen said was the best choice he could make now.
"If Brother Chu Dao is not sure for a moment, why don't you accompany Brother Chu Dao for a walk on the street and get a taste of the scenery of Shu County?" Li Xingchen suddenly said with a smile, "I guess Brother Chu Dao has not come to Shu County yet.
You haven’t experienced some of the most beautiful places in Shu County in the past few days, right?”
Yang Su was startled for a moment. Although he didn't know what Li Xingchen was planning, he still nodded: "Yes, then it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

In Jiankang Mansion, it is the world where flowers are falling and light rain is falling.
"This world... there is really no peace for a moment." Xu Ling put down the news sent by the horse from the north. All the soldiers and horses of Yang Jian's faction were mobilized, and even the Northern Zhou army in Huaibei was mobilized.
A part of the troops were also separated and headed north, with the intention of blocking Yu Wenxian's troops in Yecheng.
Of course, in order to maintain the last bottom line, Yang Jian still called it training. As for who this training was aimed at, everyone knew very well.
Previously, Li Xingchen had stirred up the entire Bashu into a bloody mess, and now there were even more signs of civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Xu Ling could only sigh helplessly.
The world has not been stable for a few years, and I am afraid that it will fall into chaos again, but I don't know how much rise and fall, how much suffering there will be in this chaos. What's even more pity is that Xu Ling no longer has so much energy to deal with it.
This is the coming chaos.
And he knew full well that His Majesty in the palace did not either.
But unlike me, I want to sit quietly in this study and watch the flowers bloom and fall, and watch the world's general situation surge, but His Majesty always wants to continue to be involved in this situation.
However, His Majesty has never thought that his age, energy, and body are no longer the match of the younger generation. This will only lead to more losses, more miserable losses, and make the entire Nanchen even more fragmented.
In Xu Ling's view, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was like two giants wrestling. In the end, either one giant fell down, or the two giants tore the entire country in half. But Nan Chen was being corroded bit by bit by Li Xingchen. This
This kind of corrosion is even invisible and imperceptible to the naked eye.
Li Xinchen used his successive new policies to attract the new generation of talents in Nanchen, and used his victorious record and ambition to attract the younger generation of military generals. Eventually, the entire young generation in Nanchen would become the basis for Li Xinchen to conquer the world.
The already hollow Nanchen could only fall apart under the wave set off by Li Xingchen.
I'm afraid his death was not as miserable as that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
But now His Majesty is still using his self-righteous methods to help Li Xingchen complete this erosion. This makes Xu Ling not know how to speak to Chen Xu, because he knows that with Chen Xu's character, if he rashly says something extreme,
If so, Chen Xu would most likely suspect that he had completely sided with Li Xingchen.
Xu Ling is no longer the Xu Ling he was when he was young. His words and deeds must take into account the life and death of the entire family. What makes Xu Ling helpless and sad is that Chen Xu is no longer the same person nine years ago.
Chen Xu.
The enterprising young emperor who once had great ambitions and was good at accepting advice has gone forever. In just nine years, the failure of the war and the disputes in the court have worn away the last bit of Chen Xu's energy.
He knew what Chen Xu was thinking now, but he no longer wanted to see Chen Xu or tell Chen Xu everything.
Maybe it's because he is getting old... Now Xu Ling can only protect himself wisely. At least now the Xu family is not without people in Li Xingchen's system.
When something big happens, Li Xingchen will definitely not embarrass the Xu family. This should be the only thing Xu Ling can rest assured about.
"Master, Mr. Shen is here to visit." A servant whispered.
In the entire Jiankang Mansion, only Shen Jungao could be honored as "Mr. Shen". Xu Ling was slightly surprised, but immediately stood up and went out to greet him. He didn't know why Shen Jungao came when the court and Li Xinchen were suspicious of each other some time ago.
Instead, it appeared at this time. Could it be that Shen Jungao was not interested in how to deal with Li Xingchen, but was very curious about the possible unrest in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and wanted to seek Xu Ling's opinion?
Of course Xu Ling would not naively think that Shen Jungao was alone. Now that Zhou was in Jingzhou, Shen Jungao seemed to be the top person in charge of the East Palace in Jiankang Mansion. As for Chen Shubao, the leader of the East Palace, he was naturally ignored by everyone, because everyone
I know that His Highness the Prince will not come up with any reliable ideas, and at least now Chen Shubao is still obeying Shen Jungao's suggestions.
"Xu Xiang!" Shen Jungao didn't wait for Xu Ling to greet him from the door, then walked in with a smile and cupped his hands towards Xu Ling, "Long time no see, Xu Xiang is more energetic than before!"
Xu Ling looked Shen Jungao up and down and shook his head gently: "It seems that Brother Xian is worried about something. This haggard look is written directly on his face."
Shen Jungao was startled for a moment, and subconsciously touched his face. His beard, which was not long, was a bit messy, and he knew without looking that he must have dark circles on his face. As Xu Ling said, Shen Jungao is really...
exhausted.
In the final analysis, it is still because of the current problems in the East Palace.
As the current de facto head of the East Palace, Shen Jungao cannot help but be worried.
In the eyes of outsiders, the East Palace is a united whole, otherwise it would not have been possible to completely suppress Chen Shuling in just one year. Relying on the battle of Jingzhou, it had half of the world's troops and became the largest group in Nanchen.
