"Really?" Sheng Zhiyao was very happy, "Then I will recommend a good marriage for you."

"Huh?" Sheng Hancheng raised his eyebrows, "You want to pull the red line for me?"

Sheng Zhiyao shook his head and denied, "I still have to see my mother!" When you marry a wife and have children, your mother will be at ease."

Sheng Hancheng shook his head with a smile, rubbed Sheng Zhiyao's head and turned to leave.

"Second brother, are you shy? Where are you going?" Sheng Zhiyao asked.

"You don't care where I go!"

Looking at Sheng Hancheng's distant back, Sheng Zhiyao pursed his lips and shouted loudly, "Come back for dinner after a stick of incense."

Sheng Hancheng's footsteps froze slightly, and then he sped up and ran out, and it wasn't until he ran out of the courtyard that he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Why is this little girl suddenly so enthusiastic about my life's affairs? I don't think my mother told her anything!"

Sheng Zhiyao didn't know that her unintentional words actually made her second brother think crookedly, and at this time, she was calmly washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, preparing dinner. Chinese Net

The sound of ping-pong came from the kitchen, and after a while, the smell of meat could be heard.

When Sheng Hancheng entered the house, he happened to see Sheng Zhiyao holding the dishes and putting them on the table.

"By the way, I mean, why is it so quiet in the house today, Mei Lan Zhuju?"

"I let them go back, the Great Sage Roast Duck and Tianxiang Pavilion are so busy, they can't let their mother and third brother be tired." Sheng Zhiyao said lightly, "Second brother, go and wash your hands, the food will be cold later."

After Sheng Hancheng finished washing his hands, Sheng Zhiyao had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and Sheng Hancheng smiled when he saw this: "Sure enough, she is a girl raised by a big family, so virtuous."

"Second brother, you are poor! Let's eat!" Sheng Zhiyao said angrily.

Sheng Hancheng laughed twice, sat down and began to eat with vegetables, and praised after taking a bite: "Sure enough, Zhiyao's skills are good, shouldn't we go home after eating?"

"There's no hurry." Sheng Zhiyao shook his head, "I still have to clean up the kitchen, and we'll go back when we're done cleaning up."

"Okay, I'll help you." Sheng Hancheng said with a smile.

"Okay!"

The two brothers and sisters finished eating and cleaning up the kitchen, the sky was already dark, the two sat in the courtyard and chatted, occasionally losing each other's words, but they were not lonely.

"My lord, there's news from the Martial King." A guard hurried in and knelt down to give a report.

"What's the news?" The envoy of Dongliang asked with a solemn face.

"King Wu said that he would get the blueprints of the fire gun from Old Marquis Sheng as soon as possible, and as for what we promised him, he asked when it would be honored."

After listening to the news brought by the guards, the envoy sneered a few times: "Sure enough, it is a good calculation!"

The staff on the side of the envoy persuaded, "My lord, if the Martial King gets the blueprints, I'm afraid that our side will also be threatened."

"And what do you mean?" The envoy asked with a smirk, "Kill him?"

"It's not easy to kill him, but ...... But......" the staff hesitated, "what if we could talk to Old Marquis Sheng in person?"

The envoy nodded in agreement, "I think so too, it's just ...... I'm worried that Old Marquis Sheng may not sell it to us, but he is Sheng Lixin, not the insatiable person of King Wu!"

When the staff heard this, they immediately frowned: "What the Lord said is right, Sheng Lixin is not an ordinary person, and he can't be reasoned with ordinary people, but the Martial King wants so many firearms, and the purpose is definitely not ordinary."

"Isn't that obvious?" The envoy scoffed.

The staff was silent when they heard this, and after a while, they raised their eyes and said, "If my guess is correct, the Martial King wants to usurp the throne!"

"Haha~ Now the form of Shang Zhou, no one knows who doesn't know, but Emperor Shang Zhou is now the only one prince who can be qualified for the throne, and King Wu actually doesn't need to rebel." The envoy sneered, "It's a pity that King Wu has encountered a smarter enemy, not only seizing the opportunity to win the favor of the Lord of Yongchen, but also the army in his hands, in this situation, if you want to get the position of the crown prince, I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

The staff groaned

After a moment, he said, "Maybe we can help him take the throne!"

The envoy shook his head, "It would be good if he could ascend to the great treasure, but if he can't, won't we lose a lot?"

"How so? I look at the appearance of King Wu, and it seems that he is determined to win the position of crown prince."

"That's just what we see, King Wu has a ruthless and moody personality, we can't trust his words." The envoy said, "What's more, if he really ascends the throne as emperor, then how can we ask him for benefits in the future?"

The staff frowned, obviously hesitant.

"I think he wants to kill people with a knife, and use our power to get rid of Old Marquis Sheng, he has the power alone, and we have to pay more to support him, such a win-win deal is not cost-effective."

"So in your opinion, how do we deal with it?" The staff asked in a deep voice.

"Instead of bothering about Bala to support the Martial King, it's better to choose another path!"

"Another way?"

"Yes."

"Please forgive your subordinates for being stupid, please give me advice."

"Although everything we are doing now is for the sake of state affairs, after all, it is selfish, if Your Majesty knows that we are cooperating with King Wu in private, what do you think he will think of us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Instead of cooperating with the Martial King, it is better to take refuge in others while there is still a buffer period."

"Who's that, in your opinion?"

"Of course, it's Old Marquis Sheng." Envoy said.

"However, the Warrior King has promised us that he is willing to form an alliance with us!"

The envoy smiled: "King Wu only said that he was willing to cooperate with us, but he didn't say that he must cooperate with us, and I think King Wu is simply playing us as fools, if we really believe in King Wu's promise, we are equivalent to putting all the bets on King Wu."

"In that case, why should we take the risk of taking refuge in others?" The envoy continued, "Rather than conspiring with the tiger to become a pawn of the Martial King, it is better to preserve your strength and wait until the right time to find a new backer!"

"So, we don't have to go to the Martial King?"

The envoy bowed: "But you still need to take precautions, so as not to be cheated by him."

"What your lord said is very true, I will go and send a tribute to the Shenghou Mansion."

"Well, go ahead! Remember, the attitude must be respectful and humble, and it would be great if the people of the Sheng family were willing to meet us!"

"Yes!" The staff bowed and left.

"Sheng Lixin, I knew that you were a piece of fatty meat, as long as you bite it, your mouth will be full of oil." The envoy sneered, his eyes glinting with greed.

"Someone."

"What do you command?"

"Prepare the car, this official is going to enter the palace to meet Emperor Shangzhou!"

"Yes."
