Chapter 165: I don't have a choice

Chen Ruoxi saw Chen Zhongning's solemn advice, nodded seriously, and replied: "Daddy, don't worry! Although I am the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, I am also the daughter of the Chen family. ”

When Chen Ruoxi said this, she thought of the spirit gathering array arranged by Wu Hanqi, although she couldn't say the secret of the secret realm, but arranging a spirit gathering array was completely easy for Wu Hanqi, she thought about it carefully, and said to Chen Zhongning: "Daddy! After I see Xiang Gong, I beg Xiang Gong to see if he can help the Chen family arrange a spirit gathering array." ”

"Spirit Gathering Array! Xi'er! What are you talking about? Wu Hanqi knows how to arrange the legendary long-lost Spirit Gathering Array! Is this true?" As the head of the Chen family, Chen Zhongning is naturally well-informed, when he heard Chen Ruoxi mention the Spirit Gathering Array, his face once again showed an extremely shocked expression, he never imagined that Wu Hanqi actually knew how to arrange the legendary Spirit Gathering Array, and confirmed this matter to Chen Ruoxi in shock.

Chen Zhongning's reaction was completely expected by Chen Ruoxi, because she had also experienced this qiē at the beginning, she nodded subconsciously and replied: "Daddy! Xianggong will indeed arrange the Spirit Gathering Array, but whether he is willing to help the Chen family arrange the Spirit Gathering Array, I have to ask him before replying."

"I have a very important matter to report to you. Just as Chen Ruoxi and Chen Zhongning were talking, a report from a disciple of the Chen family suddenly came from outside.

When Chen Zhongning heard the words of the Chen family disciple, he put away the storage bag, and then shouted, "Come in and talk about something!"

"Miss Ruoxi, you are also back with Wu Gongzi! I knew you were back. I don't want to rush back to report. The disciples of the Chen family saw Chen Ruoxi sitting in the living room, and their faces showed a look of surprise. Then he said.

Chen Ruoxi heard the words of the Chen family disciple and knew what the Chen family disciple wanted to report. I am afraid that it has something to do with the fact that the Wu family sent a large number of monks to the imperial capital this time, so he immediately asked the disciples of the Chen family: "Chen Zhiwei, what you want to report to my father, is it for the sake of the Wu family monks?"

Chen Zhiwei heard Chen Ruoxi's inquiry, nodded subconsciously, and said in amazement: "Family Master! I didn't know who investigated and said that the Wu family was a third-rate family, if it wasn't for what I saw with my own eyes today, I really couldn't imagine that the strength of the Wu family would be so terrifying!"

Chen Zhongning had heard Chen Ruoxi mention the true strength of the Wu family before, and now seeing Chen Zhiwei's reaction, he vaguely felt that what Chen Ruoxi said was true. He asked Chen Zhiwei, "Zhiwei, tell me, what's going on?"

Chen Zhiwei heard Chen Zhongning's inquiry, thought of what he had seen and heard in Deqing Restaurant, and introduced with a shocked face: "Family Master! I was eating at Deqing Restaurant just now, and I saw Wu Hanqi taking more than 200 monks to Deqing Restaurant for dinner. ”

Chen Zhongning didn't expect the situation introduced by Chen Ruoxi to be true. He turned his head to look at Chen Ruoxi, and asked Chen Ruoxi with a serious face: "Xi'er, tell your father, what kind of cultivation did Wu Hanqi bring to the imperial capital this time, and what was the purpose of their coming to the imperial capital?"

"Daddy! Xianggong came to the imperial capital this time. A total of two hundred and thirty-two monks were stayed, and the lowest of these monks was a fifth-grade spirit master, and the highest was already a third-rank spirit king. Among them, there are more than 100 masters in the spirit master stage, and more than 60 in the spirit general stage. The Spirit King stage has nearly thirty people, and the purpose of their visit to the imperial capital this time. It is to target the Prince's Mansion. When Chen Ruoxi heard Chen Zhongning's inquiry, he told the purpose of Wu Hanqi's visit to the imperial capital.

The Wu family and the royal family are also hostile relations, Chen Zhongning is no stranger to this, but what Chen Zhongning didn't expect was that the Wu family was so excited, and it was not the entire royal family, but just the prince's mansion, which made him very puzzled, and asked Chen Ruoxi suspiciously: "Xi'er! Wu Hanqi came to the imperial capital so vigorously, not for the entire royal family, but only for the prince's mansion, why is this?"

In order to give all the families in the imperial capital an attitude, Wu Hanqi will live directly in the eldest princess's mansion today, and the relationship between Wu Hanqi and the eldest princess is believed to be spread in the imperial capital in a short time, so she has no intention of hiding the purpose of Wu Hanqi's trip.

When Chen Ruoxi heard Chen Zhongning's inquiry, he immediately spoke: "Daddy, the purpose of Xianggong's visit to the imperial capital this time, in addition to destroying the prince's mansion, is to support the eldest princess to ascend the throne and become the queen of the empire, because the eldest princess is also one of the princess's women. ”

"What!Xi'er! You said that the eldest princess is also Wu Hanqi's woman, what the hell is going on? Isn't Wu Hanqi a mortal enemy with the imperial family? How could he get involved with the eldest princess?" Chen Ruoxi's return home brought too many shocks to Chen Zhongning, he didn't expect Wu Hanqi to have a leg with the eldest princess of the empire.

mentioned the reason why the eldest princess and Wu Hanqi were together, Chen Ruoxi unconsciously remembered the reason why she had a relationship with Wu Hanqi in the first place, if only her parents were present at this time, Chen Ruoxi would definitely tell her parents the reason, but there is still her brother here, out of the reserve of a woman, she can't say this reason anyway.

For this reason, Chen Ruoxi could only say vaguely: "Daddy! This matter is a long story, simply put, fate makes people, so that the eldest princess is lucky to become the woman of the prince, and the prince in order to prevent the third prince from competing with him for the royal inheritance, he actually wants to use the eldest princess and the Qianlong Empire to marry, in the words of the prince, whoever dares to fight the idea of the old woman, I will destroy whom! This is also why the prince does not destroy the entire royal family, only the reason why the prince's mansion is targeted. ”

Chen Zhongning originally thought that Wu Hanqi would come to the imperial capital with such excitement and would overthrow the royal family with their family, but he didn't expect that Wu Hanqi was only targeting the prince's mansion, and judging from the situation introduced by Chen Ruoxi, Wu Hanqi didn't seem to want to destroy the royal family, which was obviously contrary to their family's purpose.

At this time, the expression on Chen Zhongning's face immediately became solemn, and he asked Chen Ruoxi with a stern expression: "The Wu family and the royal family are hostile, if the Wu family kills the crown prince, there will be endless mortal enemies with the royal family, with the current strength of the Wu family, plus the assistance of all our families, it is completely possible to destroy the royal family, why is Wu Hanqi unwilling to destroy the royal family?"

Chen Ruoxi also asked Wu Hanqi this question at the beginning, when she heard Wu Hanqi's explanation, she understood Wu Hanqi's good intentions, and now she heard her father's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Daddy! What is the reason why the family of the imperial capital has been in a stalemate with the royal family for two or three months but has not made a move, so why have you thought about the reason why the royal family will not be destroyed." ”

"After all, with the royal family, our family can develop with peace of mind, if there is no royal family, the entire Shenwu Empire will become a group of dragons without a leader, and once the Fusang Empire raises troops to attack, can we still have such a stable life as now? Therefore, when dealing with the royal family, we are not going to destroy him, but to abolish the current emperor and crown prince, and find someone we can control to serve as the ruler of this country. ”

"Xuanyuan Zixuan is Xianggong's woman, if she becomes the queen of the empire, Xianggong will be able to control the entire empire, of course, some rules must also be changed, one of which is that no matter the disciple of that family, as long as he is an adult, he must enter the imperial army to serve for three years, after all, the country belongs to everyone, perhaps it can also be said that all families, not the royal family, if you want to have a stable life, you must pay something. ”

Chen Ruoxi's words made Chen Zhongning's face even more solemn, he didn't expect Wu Hanqi's ambition to be so big, vainly trying to control the entire Shenwu Empire.

Seeing Chen Zhongning's solemn expression, Chen Ruoxi knew what his father was worried about, in order to let his father let go of his doubts, Chen Ruoxi asked Chen Zhongning: "Daddy, now that you have some understanding of the strength of the Wu family, if Xianggong wants to dominate the entire empire, do you think he has a great hope of success?"

"I can sue you! This is a great hope, the family alliance and the imperial family have reached a time when water and fire are incompatible, and the war will break out soon, Xiang Gong can completely hide his strength as in the past, let the family alliance and the royal family fight to the death, and when the strength of both sides is greatly damaged, then take action against the family alliance and the royal family, at that time, will the family alliance and the royal family still have the strength to resist?

The two questions asked by Chen Ruoxi in a row made Chen Zhongning obviously ponder, as Chen Ruoxi said, the Wu family is only a last-class family in the eyes of everyone, if the Wu family wants to dominate the empire, they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when their family alliance and the royal family suffer heavy losses, they will uproot all the two sides, and then the family will dominate.

After thinking about this, Chen Zhongning recovered from his contemplation, and asked Chen Ruoxi with a serious face: "Xi'er, tell me about Wu Hanqi's specific plan, if we cooperate with the Wu family, what benefits can our families get?"

"The advantage is that we can keep our Shenwu Empire intact, and our Shenwu Empire's family does not have to fall into war, continue to maintain the past development trend, and all our families have no choice, as for overthrowing the current regime and making Xuanyuan Zixuan the person in power, how to get along between the family and the royal family, this will be discussed after the Xianggong and all the patriarchs of the family alliance meet, and it will be difficult for me to ask the Xianggong about it. Chen Ruoxi heard her father's inquiry, so she told her about her previous situation. (To be continued......)
