In Yanjing, in a mysterious residence, Li Yongping and Zhang Qingli sat in the study drinking tea and talking about things.

"Yongping, do you think Elder Cao will agree to this?" Zhang Qingli asked Wu Yongping, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"I hope he'll say yes. Wu Yongping frowned slightly and whispered, "The help of the Cao family is very important to me. ”

"Xiaoqin, this kid, pretending to be smart and running to Hangzhou to find that girl, will it backfire?" Zhang Qingli also frowned slightly, and her words were a little displeased, "I really didn't expect that this little girl would actually make her own decision and go to Hangzhou to find Zheng Han." ”

"Maybe she overheard what we said and was in a hurry, so she took it upon herself to run to the girl, hoping that the girl would quit. Wu Yongping said, with a long sigh, "Now the Cao family's support for me is very important, if I can marry the Cao family, the difficulties encountered can basically be solved." ”

Zhang Qingli thought for a while and whispered, "Why don't I go to Hangzhou and talk to Nie Dan about this?"

Wu Yongping shook his head, "You can't go to them and tell them, if Xiaoqing didn't have the recklessness to go to the girl and tell her about it, then you can talk to Nie Dan about it, but it's not appropriate now." If Cao Yue or other Cao family members know about Xiaoqin's search for that girl, and you talk to them about it again, what will they think? What will people who know about this matter think?"

Zhang Qingli thought about it for a while, and then whispered: "Or, one day I'll go shopping with Nie Qing and talk about this by the way?"

Wu Yongping didn't say anything, just held the teacup with a thoughtful look.

Zhang Qingli didn't ask again, she understood what her husband meant.

Not refusing is acquiesce.

In the end, the two didn't say anything, Zhang Qingli stood up, walked behind Wu Yongping, and pinched his shoulders for him.

During this time, Wu Yongping's life was not easy.

Although his current position has reached a certain peak, it does not mean that he can have the final say in everything.

The struggle between the upper echelons never stops. Now, Li Yongping is threatened from one side.

The upper echelons represent the interests of one or several parties, and the struggle for power or interests runs throughout.

On the surface, Wu Yongping is at the core, but he can be in this position, which is the result of countless struggles and mutual compromises. Not long after he came to this position, he didn't fully control the situation, and he was subject to a lot of constraints.

He needs support, strong support, he needs the Confederates.

The Cao family was the most powerful ally he believed, but Cao Zhongyi was also an old fox, always keeping a certain distance from their Li family, and did not fully support him.

His ascension to power did not rely on his own great strength, but the result of the compromise of various forces.

Although there is a Li family among the five wealthy families in Yanjing, the Li family is not his Li family.

Although it is said that the two Li families are teachers, they have been separated in that extraordinary period of Chinese history, and it can be said that the relationship between Li Yongping's Li family and Li Zongyu's Li family is not very good, not only will they not help each other, but there are also fights.

Li Yongping's Li family's power is far from being compared with other five major families, Li Zongyu's grandfather, Li Zhimin, the head of the Li family, has always had the intention of annexing his Li family.

A year ago, the center changed, and the major giants arranged their own important figures, but the candidate for Li Yongping's current position has been debated, and in the end, Li Yongping profited and took the lead.

It can be said that he is now a figure recognized by the five giants. However, the result of the compromise of several major forces is also very terrible, and there are many scruples to do a lot of things, and you cannot do what you want and do it according to your own wishes.

Of course, Li Yongping did not want to be such a good man, he expected to become a real ruler, so after a period of time, he slowly began to use his means to prepare to really grasp the power.

To grasp real power, you must have the strength to be true to yourself, and the strength must come from the backbone.

The Cao family's power in the army is deep-rooted, and it is not comparable to several others.

The relationship between Li Yongping and Cao Jianguo has always been very good, and they have received a lot of help from the Cao family, but the Cao family is unwilling to help him with all their might, and they are completely in the same trench as him.

Li Yongping hopes that with the full help of the Cao family, if that happens, he can do things in a big way.

Married with the Cao family and promised his daughter to Cao Yue, the fourth generation descendant of the Cao family, if this can be done, then the Cao family will be tied to his chariot and advance and retreat with his Li family.

Li Yongping has always wanted to enhance his relationship with the Cao family, but Cao Zhongyi, an old fox, always has reservations, and in the end he can only come up with the trick of marriage.

Now the situation is delicate, but he can only advance and not retreat.

He also knew that his daughter liked Cao Yue, so he ignored Li Xiaoqin's initiative to get close to Cao Yue, and even took the initiative to create opportunities. It's just that he also knows that Cao Yue and Zheng Han are very close, and Cao Jianguo and Nie Dan both recognize Zheng Han's status as a daughter-in-law.

Things are a bit of a headache, and her daughter Li Xiaoqin went to Zheng Han to talk to them without telling them, hoping that Zheng Han would take the initiative to withdraw from this matter, and make them even more passive.

Originally, he could have talked to Nie Dan or Xu Li about it, but because of Li Xiaoqin's impulsiveness, it became impossible.

If Zhang Qingli went to Nie Dan or Xu Li to say it after Li Xiaoqin looked for Zheng Han, it would definitely disgust the Cao family and even give birth to a rebellious mentality.

The important people of the big family value face the most, and the last thing they want to accept is threat.

Li Xiaoqin asked Zheng Han to talk about things, which can be regarded as a threat, and if Zhang Qingli talks about it again, it will be a further threat.

Perhaps, the original friendship cannot be maintained, and the relationship between the two families will further cool.

However, it is still a good way to talk about this through Nie Qing.

The last time Nie Qing and Cao Yue came together, Zhang Qingli took the initiative to show goodwill, but in fact, she had a purpose.

Nie Qing is an important figure in the power of the Cao family, and she is also Nie Dan's sister, Cao Yue's aunt, and her identity is very sensitive.

Having a good relationship with Nie Qing can also be regarded as a strategy of "seeking to save the country by curve"!

When Wu Yongping and Zhang Qingli were discussing the marriage, Cao Jianguo, who had secretly arrived in Hangzhou, was also discussing matters related to this with Nie Dan.

"Xiao Dan, Li Yongping has the idea of marrying our Cao family, and he wants to marry Xiaoqin to Xiao Yue. ”

Cao Jianguo's words made Nie Dan a little surprised, "Why don't I know?

"My dad said that!" Cao Jianguo's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, "There is one more thing, I may have to return to Yanjing to take up a post." ”

"Military region, or headquarters?" Although Nie Dan's expression was not unusual when he asked, his heart was turbulent.

Cao Jianguo lowered his voice and said solemnly: "It should be a military region!"

"The battle is so fierce?" Nie Dan instantly understood the meaning, and couldn't help but change his face.
