Chapter 408: Worst Intentions
When the holy decree came into Shi Lei's hands, he was completely confused, and he really didn't have any mental preparation for it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut there is not much time left for him, the so-called military situation is like fire, and as soon as this counterinsurgency order is given, he has to hurry up and pack up and gather people, and he must catch up in a few days.
Several uncles seized the time to study the content of the holy decree, and finally came to a conclusion that this trip to Lingnan was a blessing or a curse for Shi Lei, as long as he could complete the task of counterinsurgency together, there should be a suitable position waiting for him in the future. Or in fact, Li Er's meaning is to let him follow to take credit, and then he can promote his title openly.
It's just that in the past, his task is also relatively arduous, not only to show in the counterinsurgency, but also not to steal Feng An's limelight too much, if he is hated by Feng An, just get a battle report that was hit by a stray arrow and unfortunately passed away to fool things, he will die in vain.
Even if Cheng bites Jin and they can encourage the Tang Dynasty to conquer Lingnan, it will be a long time later, and he won't see that day anyway, so how to find a balance between them and grasp the problem of a degree is the key to it.
However, according to Shi Lei's consistent characteristics, everything is expected to win and defeat first, even if several uncles have made relatively optimistic predictions, Shi Lei must prepare for the worst.
Shi Lei simply authorized a few uncles, and when necessary, they can start those retreats at home, including the last secret passage, to ensure the safety of the family and the villagers, which is the first priority, and then retreat to a few bases, and then slowly figure it out.
Of course, this is the worst that can happen, and the emperor will only use it if he wants to uproot his own house. After all, it is difficult for you to guess the emperor's thoughts, who knows if he will still take a fancy to you one moment ago, and want to destroy you the next moment, so as to achieve some goals that others cannot understand, Shi Lei also has to guard against it.
Then taking advantage of the rare time before departure, Shi Lei personally came to visit his father-in-law's family, as well as Zhang Shigui, who was the most friendly to his family, and the family of the two generals, Wei Chigong, hoping that they could take good care of Cheng Chuyue and their families during Shi Lei's absence.
It is still unknown to what extent those two can go, but Cheng Yanjin will definitely not sit idly by and watch Cheng Chuyue and them, and they will not care about being in danger, that is his own daughter, Xiao Shi Jue is also his own grandson, and he is not a person with a cold nature. Thinking that with the best efforts of their elders, the safety of the family is still relatively guaranteed.
What Shi Lei is really worried about is actually the other nobles, although their own estimates of the meaning of this holy decree tend to be optimistic, but it is difficult to say what kind of interpretation they have.
If they thought that this was the beginning of the fall of the Shi family, those guys who usually didn't deal well with their own faction would definitely not mind inserting a kick and pushing the Shi family towards the edge of the cliff they thought they thought.
At this time, if the two rivals of Shi Lei's family are opposed, and then they make efforts to connect a group of Zi Xungui to do it together, it will be difficult to predict the outcome.
Among the nobles, there has never been a lack of people holding the wall and pushing everyone to push it, and the people who will really choose to send charcoal in the snow are still very few after all. Those who can choose not to help each other can be regarded as friendly people.
This is also the cruel law of survival between the nobles, and the first thing everyone sees is the prosperity of one family and one surname.
However, Shi Lei thinks that he still has a few friends, at least he will not encounter the bleak situation of falling trees and scattering. At least among the veteran martial artists of the uncle's generation, there are many people who come to express their concern or send goodwill.
At this time, those who can still take the initiative to get close are either optimistic about the future of the Shi family and have the same interpretation as several uncles. Either they are really friendly with the Shi family, see the possible crisis, and want to pull it up. Shi Lei believes that the Qinmen God, who has always been kind, and Uncle Niu and several uncles who are familiar with each other, should be like this.
Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, the two generals who can be said to be brought up by Shi Lei, not only did not move away from the Shi family and draw a clear line with Shi Lei, but they both came to Shi Lei to express their hearts, and they almost swore to express their intention to live and die with the Shi family, which made Shi Lei very pleased, at least it showed that he did not see the wrong person.
What was even more unexpected by Shi Lei, or it was reasonable, Li Chengqian personally visited Shi Lei, and also sent sincere blessings, and even congratulated Shi Lei on his ascension.
This made Shi Lei firm in his thoughts, even if there are still a few passes to be passed in the future, he will definitely stand firmly by Li Chengqian's side and witness the glory of him after he sits on the throne.
Having received the kindness of so many people, and thinking of An Yuanshou, who has always been friendly with his family, also sent news, although it was just a simple congratulations, it was already very revealing.
This is the person next to Emperor Li Er, although he is not by the pillow, but as Li Er's personal guard, he still knows a lot more about Li Er's mind than others.
The waiter who came to deliver the decree was still the one who was familiar with Shi Lei, and he still had the same smiling face. Under the combination of many factors, Shi Lei feels that it is more likely that his family will take this opportunity to go further.
Just take this opportunity to see which people are the first and which are the friends who can be deeply made. Every possible crisis and opportunity is not only a test for Shi Lei, but in fact, it is not a test for these partners of the Shi family.
As for the enemies, there is no need to test them, just try to die as much as possible when possible. I believe that the eldest grandson Wuji and the Dou family are likely to think the same way, so Shi Lei also has to leave as many backhands as possible to target the methods that these two families may jump out of.
After a few days of busy and chaotic preparations, the day of departure is still inevitable.
"I'll report to you when I go over there, don't worry, this time I'm going to gild, and I'll wait for His Majesty to give me a promotion and a raise, just when I go to Lingnan for a vacation, don't worry about me at all."
With my own ability, there are so many powerful subordinates, so Feng Ang'er is polite, if he is not honest, I will take off his head and bring it back together. ”
Shi Lei hugged Cheng Chuyue one by one, and the two Yu Linglong sisters, and whispered to the sisters who were holding back tears. The two of them were also very suitable for the situation, and they squeezed out a smiling face.
"Take care of our son, when I'm not at home, don't bully the Yu Linglong sisters, don't forget that you are the head of our Shi family, someone really dares to stretch out his claws to come over, don't just chop him directly." Shi Lei said to Cheng Chuyue, who was trying to keep smiling, alone.
He also lowered his head and kissed Xiao Shi Jue, who was standing there, embarrassed scum, and the little guy who was stinging and giggled non-stop. Xiao Shijue's laughter still diluted a lot of the sadness of parting.
"Go, I look like someone who would bully them." Cheng Chuyue picked the corners of her mouth.
"Wait until I'm back with honors." Shi Lei rode on his war horse and waved his hand and shouted loudly at the farmers who insisted on sending them out.
"The head of the family will definitely return with honor!" The bankers sent their blessings in unison.
Shi Lei was ruthless, no longer looking at the reluctant family members, and slapped the buttocks of the war horse twice, and then rushed out with the carefully selected guards. Mysterious Lingnan, I'm Shi Lei. (To be continued.) )
