Chapter 18 Thinking

Their purpose was to take back the land of Wu. Of course, the king of Wu would die.

Miss Chen Er and King Wu said that they would let officials from the imperial court come in to testify and explain that the assassin was framed by someone else. If King Wu gave in and asked for peace, the court would withdraw its troops.

These are what Miss Chen Er and King Wu said, and the court has never thought about it.

"Your Majesty does not want this because the King of Wu disobeys the order of flattery and comes to attack Qing Jun first." General Iron Face looked at the scroll with the seal of King Wu, "Among the princes of Daxia, King Wu is the strongest

His Majesty never thought that King Wu would negotiate peace with the imperial court."

The land of Wu is in a dangerous location, has been rich for hundreds of years, has no disasters and no wars, and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. There is also a loyal and war-savvy Taifu Chen, so the prince proposed that if he wants to get rid of Wu, he must first get rid of Taifu Chen.

The method was immediately approved by the emperor.

But now that Taifu Chen is still here, the crown prince's chess piece has been eliminated by Miss Chen Er, and the king of Wu has been brought to say that he is willing to make concessions in peace talks with the emperor. This has to make people think more.

"I personally met the King of Wu. This man talked a lot about Huang Lao's skills in his words and deeds." Mr. Wang said, "He seems to be arrogant and empty-headed——"

"So, I want to talk to your Majesty." The iron-faced general said, "Since the King of Wu is willing to give in and surrender without fighting, the people will be spared the pain of war. It is a blessing for the court."

This is very good, but Mr. Wang still thinks it is unnecessary.

"We can win." He said meaningfully, emphasizing the word "we", "General, the credit for fighting and the credit for peace talks are different."

"Do you think the current King of Wu is the same as the King of Yan, King of Lu, King of Qi, and King of Zhou?" General Iron Face asked.

Mr. Wang shook his head: "It's completely different. Not to mention different from King Zhou and King Qi, it's also completely different from King Wu."

If those princes and kings were madmen, then the new generation of King Wu is a fool.

The Iron-faced General looked at the scroll on the desk: "There is a difference between treating madmen and fools, and -"

Mr. Wang felt the eyes behind the iron mask falling on him, as if being pricked by a needle, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"I don't fight for merit." The Iron-faced General's voice was like a dull knife rolling across the stone surface, "Fighting with a madman is fun, fighting with a fool is really boring." After saying that, he threw the scroll at him and said, "I will report it to Your Majesty.

.”

Mr. Wang could only respond and took the scroll, glanced at the iron-faced general who was sitting on his back, and smiled bitterly. He did not fight for merit, but for fun. This is the real lunatic.

Li Liang's body was hung in Wudu, making the atmosphere in the city finally tense.

Generals like Li Liang have deserted the King of Wu. Is it true that the imperial court is really going to invade this time? We are finally in danger of an imminent war.

The King of Wu was also uncharacteristically asking for frontline battle reports on the movement of troops and horses every day. He also displayed battle maps in the palace and deployed hundreds of thousands of troops like long snakes from south to north in the capital -

Chen Liehu pointed out that this would not work, as the head and tail would not correspond, and it would be easy to be cut off by the enemy in a real fight.

"This is the duty of an old minister." He knelt down and asked for his tassel. "I am willing to go to the front line and prepare troops to fight against the unjust army of the imperial court."

This is not the first time he has requested. He has been rejected many times and only the guards of the capital were handed over to him.

Now his son was killed in battle, his son-in-law defected to the enemy and was killed, and only the veteran general took action.

King Wu looked at him and said, "It is enough for the Master to have Miss Chen Er. There is no need to go out on his own."

Chen Liehu was puzzled when he heard this, but also became wary. He once again suspected that King Wu was obsessed with Chen Danzhu, and did not dare to speak for a while. There were other courtiers in the palace who cheered, and they all asked King Wu to fight, or offered suggestions. Wu

But the king only listened and refused to accept anything.

Chen Liehu returned to Taifu's Mansion confused, and Chen Danzhu came to ask about the affairs of the court.

Ever since Chen Danzhu came back from the military camp, she often asked about the military affairs of the DPRK and China. Chen Liehu did not hide anything. He told her one by one that Chen Danyang was dead, Li Liang was dead, Chen Danyan was in poor health, and only Chen Danzhu could do it.

Taking over the mantle.

This time Chen Liehu is not enthusiastic about finding a son-in-law for Chen Danzhu, alas.

"I don't know what the king is thinking." Chen Liehu said, "The fighter plane disappears so quickly, it's really worrying."

Chen Danzhu knew what King Wu was thinking, whether and when the imperial troops would really retreat -

"Father, there's no need to worry," she said, "It's not like the king is going to fight in person. It's always good for the king to have this intention."

Chen Liehu thought the same way, with a pleased and excited look on his face: "If we work together as one, we can cut through gold, so why should we fear the emperor's unjust actions!"

Chen Danzhu smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn't bear to look at his father's face. The maid Xiaodie's surprised shout came from the room: "The eldest lady is awake."

Chen Danzhu and Chen Liehu looked at each other, feeling suffocated for a moment, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"You have to face what you have to face." Chen Liehu said, "There is nothing that my daughter, Chen Liehu, cannot bear."

Chen Danzhu nodded and went to see her sister with Chen Liehu.

Chen Danyan was struggling to get up from the bed, an abnormal blush appeared on her pale face, which was because she was too excited——

Xiaodie's servants and doctors were all trying to persuade Chen Danyan to get up. When she saw Chen Liehu walking in, she cried and called her father: "I had a nightmare, father, I heard that A Liang is dead. Is A Liang dead?"

"

Chen Liehu said: "Yes, he is dead."

Chen Danyan let out a cry of pain and burst into tears——

"Don't cry!" Chen Liehu shouted, "Li Liang is a traitor and deserves to die."

Chen Danyan's cry suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked at Chen Liehu. She couldn't believe it. When she fainted, she only heard that Li Liang was dead, but she didn't hear anything else.

Chen Liehu explained the matter in a few words.

"It's easy for you to see him now." He finally said solemnly, pointing outside, "Just hang the corpse at the city gate for public display."

Chen Danyan was stunned after hearing the whole thing. Xiaodie, the maid, knelt beside the bed and kowtowed to Chen Liehu in tears: "Master, please speak slowly, the eldest lady is not in good health and she still has a child."

Chen Liehu's face trembled and he gritted his teeth: "It's okay if you don't want this child."

Xiaodie knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak anymore.

There was a suffocating silence in the room.

Chen Liehu took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling in his voice: "Ayan, think about it carefully. I know you are a smart child. You will figure it out."

Chen Danyan turned her eyes to look at him: "Father, was A-Liang killed by A-Zhu?"

Chen Liehu's voice was deep: "This is my order——"

Chen Danyan called out to her father: "You are like me. You didn't know what A'Zhu was doing at that time. How could you give her orders?"

When Chen Liehu was about to say something, Chen Danzhu stood up from behind him and called out to his sister: "I killed my brother-in-law. When I did it, my father didn't know yet." He then told the story that Chen Liehu had told him.

Again, "So I rushed back to take away the military talisman that you stole, sister, to check what happened, and sure enough I found that he had betrayed the king."

Chen Danyan was stunned for a moment, her lips trembled, and she said: "You, you tie him back, and then--"

Isn't it too late to kill? Chen Danzhu looked at her: "No, if I don't kill him, he will kill me."

Chen Danyan stopped talking and closed her eyes in tears.

Chen Danzhu did not give up and asked: "Is sister blaming me?"

Chen Liehu was afraid of this kind of thing, and said in a painful voice: "Ayan, don't you believe your sister? Don't you want to let Li Liang, the traitor, die?"

Chen Danyan opened her eyes and smiled sadly: "Father, I love Ah Liang, but if he betrays us and betrays the king, I will kill him with my own hands."

Chen Liehu nodded: "Okay, okay, I know, my Ayan is a good daughter, don't blame your sister -"

"What I blame is not that she killed Li Liang." Chen Danyan interrupted Chen Liehu and looked at Chen Danzhu, her eyes full of pain, "What I blame is that you kept it from me, you didn't tell me, and you didn't believe me."

Chen Liehu was heartbroken and shouted: "Ayan——"

Chen Danzhu did not feel angry or sad when her sister questioned her, nor did she shed any tears. She frowned and said, "Sister, if you listened to Li Liang and stole the military talisman and didn't tell my father and me, didn't you also disbelieve my father and me? Then why should I?"

Do I need to believe you and tell you what I’m going to do?”

Chen Danyan was stunned.
