Chapter 45: Instigation
Chapter 45 Instigation
"What?" Listening to Cui Yongxing's words, Wu Zhaolong was shocked and said, "I'm going to apologize to Li Zhen?" Uncle, what are you kidding? Li Zhen and I have a grudge against my father for killing my father, this feud is not shared, if you ask me to apologize to him, then you should kill me. β
"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Cui Yongxing shook his head and said: "Of course I know that you and Li Zhen have a big enmity, and I can't wait to kill Li Zhen immediately and avenge the rest of my life, but revenge can't be shown on my face."
Now the situation is stronger than people, after the battle for Silver Island, the strength of the family has plummeted, and the armed forces have been lost, we have no chance of turning the tables, and even if we are not careful, the family will no longer have the possibility of existing.
Of course, we have to take revenge, but as the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, as long as we recover and have a chance to take revenge, why should you focus on the present?
Besides, if you show weakness this time, you will just eliminate Li Zhen's vigilance, and we can develop slowly in the future, and naturally have a chance to take revenge. β
"Uncle, I know what you said, but let me apologize to Li Zhen, I really can't do it." Although Cui Yongxing made sense, Wu Zhaolong didn't feel that he could make Li Zhen remove his vigilance by being soft.
Because compared to Li Zhen, he is only a small character, and it is estimated that after that incident, Li Zhen has forgotten about himself.
On the contrary, if he can't control his killing intent when he sees Li Zhen, it will attract Li Zhen's attention, and then it will be called real self-defeating.
"So be it." Seeing that Cui Yongxing still had the intention of persuading again, Wu Zhaolong said: "There is no need to apologize, I will go to the banquet this time, but I can only be an ordinary guest, as for apologizing - I am afraid that I will not be able to control my killing intent, but it will attract Li Zhen's attention." β
"That's right." Cui Yongxing thought about it and made sense, so he nodded and said; "Then that's it, I'll send someone and I'll send you an invitation in a while, you can go yourself."
"I understand." Wu Zhaolong said, suddenly, he remembered a question again, and asked, "Uncle, don't you think there's something wrong?" β
"Something is wrong? What could be wrong? Cui Yongxing asked subconsciously.
"Don't you think it's strange that King Yue actually agreed to go to your banquet?" Wu Zhaolong asked rhetorically: "You must know that Li Zhen has already shown his disgust for you on his face - he didn't even attend the reception banquet you gave him, and now you just held an ordinary banquet for Lao Shizi, but Li Zhen came, isn't this strange enough?" β
"It's really weird." As soon as Wu Zhaolong said this, Cui Yongxing also realized that something was wrong.
Indeed, Li Zhen's disgust for the family has almost been marked on his face, and he has repeatedly refused his banquet, and he didn't even come to the reception banquet he held for him, but now he actually agreed to his banquet - this feels wrong no matter how you think about it.
"Then what do you think is the purpose of Li Zhen coming to the banquet?"
"I can't figure it out for a while." Wu Zhaolong didn't come up with a clue: "But no matter what, I think Li Zhen must have a conspiracy here." Uncle should still be careful, and it is best to prepare early. β
"What about preparing early? Regardless of whether Li Zhen has a conspiracy or not, I have no room for resistance. Who knows, after listening to Wu Zhaolong's analysis, Cui Yongxing smiled bitterly, and said a little lonely: "Li Zhen has no conspiracy, which is naturally the best, everyone is hello and I am good, everyone is happy, but if Li Zhen has a conspiracy - do you think there is anything I can do about my uncle?" β
"How can I not do it?" Wu Zhaolong instigated: "Now Li Zhen is on our land, even if he has a young army escort, as long as you are willing, I can help you work out a complete set of perfect methods to put Li Zhen to death in minutes." β
"Uncle believes this, and he is very confident in your strategy." Cui Yongxing first affirmed Wu Zhaolong's resourcefulness, and then asked rhetorically: "But then?" Li Zhen died on my turf, and the first thing the angry Li Shimin wanted to find was my trouble, and my best fate would be at least an exile of three thousand miles. If Li Shimin finds out that this matter has even the slightest relationship with me, I will die without a place to be buried. And not only am I going to die, but my family, the Cui family, and even all the families in the world will be implicated by me and fall into a place of no returnβnow the court is staring at the family, almost observing the family with a magnifying glass, just waiting for us to make a mistake. β
"That is to say, whether it is resistance or non-resistance, there is only one final end, and that is death - the difference is that if I don't resist, I will only die alone, but if I resist, whether I succeed or not, I will give the court an excuse to do it, and there will be more people who will die by then." Speaking of this, Cui Yongxing looked at Wu Zhaolong: "So, it's not that I can't resist, but the consequences of my resistance are too terrible - for the sake of my family and the inheritance of the family, I can't resist." β
Wu Zhaolong slapped on the arm of the chair and said unwillingly: "But uncle, are you willing to die?" β
Cui Yongxing turned his back, no longer looked at Wu Zhaolong, and said slowly: "What about willingness?" What if you are unwilling? Since both horizontal and vertical are one death, why not choose a less costly method...... Okay, that's it, I'll go first, you clean up and come back later......"
"Click."
When Cui Yongxing and Wu Zhaolong's uncle and nephew were talking, Li Zhen also discussed this issue.
"I am against His Highness going to the banquet." Fang Yiai was the first to express his opinion: "Your Highness, you have repeatedly refused to give Cui Yongxing face, which has caused Cui Yongxing to lose all his face in Jiangnan Province, he must have a grudge against you, but I am afraid that there will be no good banquet." β
"That's what I mean, too." Du He also stood on Fang Yiai's side: "This Cui Yongxing is the representative of the family, His Royal Highness made the family so embarrassed, almost ruined, maybe this Cui Yongxing is here to take revenge." β
"You are wrong about this, the more this time, the more Cui Yongxing dare not move." Xi Junmai thought a little more: "The family is so weak now, it is because they are afraid that the imperial court will find trouble for them, this Cui Yongxing has a little strategic vision, he will not dare to move a finger of His Highness at this time."
Wang Tianqi also waved his fist and said: "Yes, even if they really have the courage, we have brought a few thousand young troops this time, which is enough to resist a hundred thousand army without defeat - there is no one hundred thousand troops in the entire Jiangnan Province, and no one is our opponent at all......"
Everyone made sense, but Li Zhen's brows furrowed......
