The vigorous Ling Rao Yu Wenzhi left the Xiao family with a proud face after getting Xiao Yao's promise, so the four giants of the Xiao family immediately gathered in the study for a meeting, and this time they all had sad faces, and even Xiao Fu, who had always been calm, dropped three cups in a row to vent his anger!

"I can't imagine that our Xiao family is so loyal to the emperor, but now even he is on Yu Wenzhi's side, and he actually seized our Xiao family's iron workshop! We are relatives, we all have the surname Xiao, the emperor actually helped outsiders bully his own people, how could our Xiao family have suffered such a big humiliation! Xiao Shan scolded angrily.

"Yuwenzhi is the son of Yuwenhu and an important minister of the Zhou State, and now our Liang State is under the protection of the Zhou State, so the emperor can only listen to them and do it." Xiao Fu, who was full of fire, explained for Liang Huang.

"Then you can't seal it up, you can't even give us a time to react, and you will catch us off guard! And let that Xu Tong lead the team, everyone knows that he is your sworn enemy! Xiao Shan still didn't understand Liang Huang's action of turning his elbow outward.

"That's the emperor wants to kill chickens and monkeys, and take our Xiao family to the knife! Now the emperor is not as convinced of our Xiao family as before, in the past two years, our Xiao family has earned a lot of silver with glass treasures, and the power has developed too fast, I believe that even the emperor is jealous of us, so now he is standing on Yu Wenzhi's side to help outsiders deal with us who are also members of the Xiao family! Xiao Yao said what everyone knew in their hearts, but they didn't want to believe.

"That's politics, that's power! Back then, our Xiao family, after the death of Emperor Wu, was fighting for power and profit for the throne, fratricidal, both Xiao brothers and uncles and nephews, but they saw each other with swords and put each other to death! In the end, it was the snipe and the clam that competed, the fisherman profited, and the rivers and mountains of Daliang were taken away by Chen Baxian! Ridiculous! Now our emperor still attacks us, our own people, back then, I just saw too much deceit in the court, brothers killed each other, so I didn't want to touch politics, stay away from officialdom, and concentrate on business! I didn't expect to get involved in the end, maybe this is the fate of being a relative of the emperor! Xiao Feng laughed at himself helplessly.

"Father, these are the struggles of those in power, we can't avoid them, only by facing them bravely and grasping the initiative in our hands will we not be so passive! Before, our Xiao family was too optimistic and believed in our emperor too much! You must know that in this troubled world, the Zhou State will not make the Liang State strong, and our emperor will not make the Xiao family strong! So now to solve this matter perfectly, and not let the insatiable Yuwen Zhi get Longwangshu, the only way is for me to die! Xiao Yao also had a murderous look in his eyes.

"What are you messing with! What doesn't die! Don't be nonsense, as long as you go to the Zhou Kingdom to be a concubine, the matter can be solved, the Xiao family just lost the glazed ware and the iron workshop, but our foundation is still there, so how can I let you die! Xiao Feng scolded angrily, although there are many children, as a father, Xiao Feng also loves his children very much.

"Yes, twelve, what are you messing with! Just now we were just angry that they robbed our Xiao family, so we were so annoyed, in fact, as long as we handed over what they wanted, everyone would be safe, money is just something outside the body, don't think about it so much. Xiao Shan was afraid that his younger brother would see that the things he had created with his own hands were forcibly taken away by Yu Wenzhi, so he couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide.

"Bah, I'm not going to kill myself! Mine isn't really dead, I'm just making them think I'm dead! Xiao Yao knew that this time he could only take that strategy!

"Not really dead? What do you mean by that? How do you make them think you're dead? Xiao Fu didn't understand what Xiao Yao meant for a while.

"Could it be the kind of turtle breath magic skill in the legend? Can you hold your breath for a few hours, put people into a state of suspended animation, and then outsiders think you're dead? Back then, Taishang Laojun also taught you these magic skills? "Xiao Shan is really authentic, because he has seen a lot of myths.

"Don't be so naïve, don't look at those unnutritious ones in the future!" Xiao Yao gave Xiao Shan a white eye and said with disdain, and then made a serious statement to Xiao Feng and Xiao Fu: "Yu Wenzhi will target our Xiao family because of the glass treasures, and the emperor is also jealous of our Xiao family because of the glass treasures, in this world, only I know the formula of the glass treasures, so as long as they think I am dead, they can no longer make any conspiracies against the Xiao family!" ”

"Well, the recipe for the glass treasure is the key to this, so how are you going to make them all think you're dead?" Xiao Fu also knew that all this trouble was caused by the glass treasures!

"It's very simple, as long as I make some traps in the ironshop, and then blow up the ironshop in front of Yu Wenzhi, find a corpse about the same size as me, change into my clothes, and burn it beyond recognition, I will definitely be able to hide it from the sea!" Xiao Yao made a decision that he had planned for a long time, but he was unwilling to execute!

"Blow up the ironworks? No way! It's too messy! Don't die anymore, they will give them whatever they want, anyway, there were no glass treasures before, and our Xiao family firm is doing the same! Twelve, you can honestly go to the Zhou Kingdom as a concubine, and then live peacefully with the princess! Xiao Feng was the first to oppose this decision, he didn't like to hear this dead word.

"Yes, Twelve, this is too dangerous, even if you can hide it for a while, can you hide it for a lifetime? Moreover, the iron workshop is a money bag that our Xiao family spent a lot of money to build, how can it be blown up! Xiao Shan also felt that this was too radical.

"Am I willing to do this, you guys? But the problem is, even if I go to Zhou Kingdom, I may not be able to be safe! Let's not think of the Yuwen family, how does the Yuwen family think of me, the concubine of the Liang Kingdom, how will our emperor treat you? A glass treasure before has already made the emperor have scruples about the Xiao family, helping outsiders to suppress us, and now adding another Zhou State horse, do you think the emperor will still trust our Xiao family, according to the emperor's jealousy and fear, he will only do everything possible to weaken us, and even completely eradicate our Xiao family, so that he can rule the Liang country with peace of mind! Xiao Yao sneered, he saw the struggle for power very thoroughly.

Xiao Fu was silent when he heard this, he knew that the reality was like this, although he and the emperor were both surnamed Xiao, and he was also the emperor's cousin, but the emperor was the emperor, and the courtiers were the courtiers, and they must not be high-minded!

And Yu Wenzhi chose Xiao Yao as a concubine, in addition to snatching the formula of the glass treasures under the pretext of dowry, another purpose is to greatly improve the prestige and status of the Xiao family, so that the Xiao family will become the target of public criticism in the Liang State, causing the Liang monarchs and ministers to be discordant and suspicious of each other, so naturally they cannot unite to threaten the Zhou State.

"So if they feel that the glass formula and the iron workshop have been destroyed, they will feel that the Xiao family has been greatly injured, and naturally they will no longer be so afraid and wary of the Xiao family, and they should no longer calculate our Xiao family." Xiao Yao analyzed.

"No, no, no, what will you do after that, everyone thinks you are dead, so how can you live? Do you want to hide at home and see no one for the rest of your life? Xiao Feng still felt that this plan was too messy.

"Actually, I've thought about this matter for a long time, but I didn't think I would use this trick, but I didn't expect Yu Wenzhi to be so ruthless and pressing step by step, I really looked at him! After I fake my death, I will flee to Chen Guo! Xiao Yao smiled confidently.

"What, you're going to Chen Guo?" The three of them were taken aback by Xiao Yao again.

"Yes, that is our homeland, hasn't the eldest brother always wanted to go east to the Chen country and restore our Daliang country? I go to the Chen State, with my ability, I should be able to break into their court, and when the time comes, I can destroy the Chen State in one fell swoop and regain our Daliang. "Xiao Yao is perfect.

"Don't do this useless, now we have to find a way to get through this difficulty!" Xiao Fu felt that Xiao Yao's words were a bit far-fetched, so he angrily pulled the topic back.

"Big brother, I've got something useful! If I die on the side of Liang State, I can only flee to Chen State, and according to intelligence, isn't Chen State planning to form an alliance with Zhou State and then deal with Qi State together? Chen Guo is recruiting a large number of troops, with my extremely smart head and Zhou Chao's lofty skills, it is very easy to get into Chen Guo's army, and when the time comes, he will make a few more merits, become a general or something, and then he can hold military power. I am treating others the way they are! Xiao Yao's set of crooked reasoning was so refuted that Xiao Fu was speechless.

"However, hasn't this Zhou Chao been captured by Yu Wenzhi? How can you go to the country of Chen with him? Xiao Shan asked puzzled.

"He is now being imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and Yu Wenzhi has promised me that I will not be unfavorable to him, so I will rescue him with Gao Yuan, and then escape from Jiangling down the river and go east to Chen State, so I need you to cooperate with me!" Xiao Yao said firmly, he had already asked Gao Yuan to find out about Zhou Chao's whereabouts.

"Is this really the only way to do it? Twelve, you also, we don't want you to take such an adventure, and from now on, you will be doomed, and you will not even be able to return to Gangneung for the rest of your life! "Xiao Fu actually cares a lot about his brother-in-law.

"Big brother, we have no other way, I believe you also understand, even if we all agree to Yu Wenzhi's request this time, he will definitely have a next time, because in his eyes, our Liang State is to serve their Zhou State, if we don't make changes, Liang State will be annexed by Zhou State sooner or later! And our emperor is short-sighted, for his own selfish interests, he will never help our Xiao family, so now we can only draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and give it a go! Xiao Yao said ruthlessly!

"So, if you really want to do this, how do you want us to cooperate with you?" Xiao Fu was subdued, and he also understood that if he kept retreating, the enemy would gain an inch, and he always wanted to restore the Great Liang in his heart, but according to the current situation, Zhou Guo would not let Liang Guo become stronger, if he has been deceiving himself, I believe that Zhou Guo will send troops to help Liang Guo crusade against Chen Guo, it is better to let go of Yibo and find another way, maybe it is really like Xiao Yao's, you can break into Chen Guo!

"Big brother, you have to tell me the detailed layout of the prison of the Criminal Department first, and you will arrange more people around the Criminal Department to help create chaos! Tonight, I will go to the ironworks with Gao Yuan to prepare in advance, as long as the ironworks explode, Gao Yuan and I will leave in the secret passage, and then while everyone's attention is on the ironworks, we will rush to the criminal department to rescue Zhou Chao, so after the explosion in the Ming Iron Workshop, Brother Shan, you have to cry to death, try to pretend to be heartbroken, and let them all think that I was also blown up! Xiao Yao came up with his full plan.

"Twelve, if that's the case, then it's hard for us to see you again in the future!" Xiao Shan's tears flowed out, and his own brother was about to die.

"Even if we agree to Yu Wenzhi and honestly go to Zhou to be a concubine, it will be difficult for us to meet again! So we might as well rely on ourselves to fight for the opportunity and win the battle with Yu Wenzhi! Don't worry, Brother Shan, I will take care of myself, don't forget, I am the apprentice of Taishang Laojun, and I am a person protected by immortals! Xiao Yao comforted them.

So Xiao Yao straightened his clothes, kowtowed heavily to the three of them, and said firmly: "The soldiers are fast, the time is urgent, we must act immediately, we can't waste any more time!" Father, two brothers, goodbye tomorrow, I don't know when we will be able to meet, Xiao is not filial, I can't accompany you anymore, Twelve will take good care of himself, you don't have to worry about me! ”

After finishing it, he kowtowed and continued: "After Ming, there will be no Xiao in the world, I will be named Xiao Yao, a wandering, unrelated orphan, and nothing will have anything to do with the Xiao family!" We can't have any contact in the future, please take care of your father and the Xiao family, ask Brother Shan to take care of your mother, and Xiao can rest assured that you can break into the Chen Kingdom. ”

After finishing and kowtowing again, his eyes were red, and his nose was sour: "This matter can only be known by the four of us here, and even Mother and Brother Tong must not be told!" If there is a person named Xiao Yao in Chen Guo at that time, known as Xiao Shilang, you will know that it must be Xiao! ”

In the end, Xiao Yao kowtowed a few more times, and got up and left with a decisive face! And looking at Xiao Yao's thin back slowly leaving, Xiao Shan couldn't help but cover his face and cry, Xiao Feng was also shaking his head and sighing, crying, only Xiao Fu was full of grief and indignation, left the study, and went to arrange various details, and fully assisted Xiao Yao in his fake death escape plan.
