In the Marshal's Mansion in the capital, Cheng Gang sat in the hall with a frown, drinking alone, while his wife Xia Mudi sat beside him with a haggard face.

"The decree has arrived! Cheng has just received the decree!" a slender voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Cheng Gang and Xia Mudi hurriedly ran outside, only to see Ruoxi looking at him with a cold expression.

"Weichen Cheng Gang took the order!" Cheng Gang threw himself on his knees.

"Fengtian transported, the emperor edict said that it was not good for the hussar general Cheng Xiong to protect the three princesses, so that the whereabouts of the three princesses are still unknown, and I should have put Cheng Xiong to death. But since the founding of this dynasty, the Cheng family has been loyal to the auxiliary king, so Cheng Xiong is pardoned for the death penalty. The death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! I sentenced Cheng Xiong to 30 rods and punished him slightly! And the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, Cheng Gang, was not strict in teaching his son, and he bore the main responsibility, so he temporarily dismissed the post of generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and waited until the third princess was restored to the post of marshal.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Cheng Xiong receiving the order to thank him, and Ruoxi said unhappily, "Marshal Cheng still hasn't accepted the order to thank you!"

"Thanksgiving!"

This holy decree was like a thunderbolt from the sky, crushing Cheng Gang's last spiritual pillar, and he sat on the ground weakly. And Ruoxi didn't even look at it, turned around and left the marshal's mansion.

"Master, you can't collapse! We have a family now all relying on the support of the master!" Xia Mudi stepped forward to support Cheng Gang, and tears flowed out again.

"Madam, don't worry, I won't fall, and we won't fall down when we get married!" Cheng Gang adjusted his mood and stood up again.

At this time, a subordinate who looked like a family member walked over with a letter in his hand.

"Report to the master, the Seven Princes Mansion sent someone to send an invitation letter, please ask the master to visit the Seven Princes' Mansion, saying that there is something important to discuss!"

"An invitation from the Seven Kings' Mansion?" Cheng Gang took the letter, and his face was cloudy.

"Master, now that it's over, it's better for you to have an idea earlier!" Xia Mudi said.

The implication of her words is that she wants Cheng Gang to cooperate with the Seventh Prince, her son Cheng Xiong has been imprisoned until now, and now Cheng Gang's military power has been removed, and the Cheng family can be said to have been forced into a desperate situation.

Cheng Gang waved his hand at his wife and motioned her not to say much, "I have my own decision!"

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Gang instructed the family, "Prepare a sedan chair immediately, I want to go to the Seven Kings' Mansion!"

The family replied and retreated.

At this time, the Seven Princes were leisurely sipping fragrant tea and enjoying the singing and dancing performances of the dancing girls.

Qian Fa stood aside respectfully, serving carefully.

"Lord Wang, do you think this Marshal Cheng can't come back?" Qian Fa asked in a low voice.

"What should come will come!" said the Seventh Prince, unconcerned.

changed a few tunes in a row, but there was no trace of Cheng Gang, Qian Fa looked at the door from time to time, and he couldn't bear it. Qian found that he seemed to be full of scenery, but he knew that this was only temporary, once the East Window incident happened and he was not careful, even the people of the entire Qi Palace's Mansion would fall into a place of no return. But if Cheng Gang is willing to take refuge in the Seventh Prince, not to mention that he can succeed in 10%, at least more than 50% of the things, and then he will be prosperous.

"Lord Wang, Marshal Cheng asks to see you!" The voice of the steward came from outside the door, and Qian Fa looked at the Seventh Prince with great joy.

The Seventh Prince slowly put down the teacup in his hand and waved his hand at the dancing girls, "Let's all step back!"

Dozens of breaths later, Cheng Gang walked in.

"Marshal Cheng, you're finally here, this king has been waiting for you for a long time!" the Seventh Prince stood up and said with a smile.

"Atonement, atonement! There are some trivial matters at home, so you have been waiting for a long time!" Cheng Gang said apologetically.

"This is not a place to talk, Marshal Cheng, please come with me!"

Cheng Gang followed the Seventh Prince to an ordinary room, he glanced around casually, there was nothing here except a rosewood table and chair and a pair of "Seven Beautiful Pictures".

"Marshal Cheng, please take a seat!"

"What I said to the marshal last time, I wonder what the marshal has thought about?" the Seventh Prince sat down and continued.

"I've already thought about the prince's words, but now that Cheng Gang has no soldiers, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the prince!" Cheng Gang said with a bitter smile.

The Seventh Prince paused and smiled slightly, "Marshal Cheng, don't be presumptuous, in fact, what I value is Marshal Cheng, not the military power in your hands!"

Standing up and standing with his hands in his hands, the Seventh Prince continued, "If a person has no real materials and no rights in his hands, then sooner or later he will be ruined in his rights. On the contrary, if a person is brave and resourceful, even if he does not have a single soldier in his hands, he will sooner or later become the commander of all armies. And the marshal belongs to the latter!"

"Wang Ye Miao is dirty, Cheng Gang is ashamed to be ashamed! Since the prince thinks so highly of me, then from now on, Cheng Gang will only look forward to the prince!" Cheng Gang seemed to have made some major decision in his heart, and said with a solemn face.

"Okay! I'm waiting for Marshal Cheng's words!" the Seventh Prince said with a happy eyebrow.

The Seven Princes came to the wall, and the third brick on the left side of the Seven Beauty.

As the bricks recessed into the wall, a hole half a foot wide was revealed in the ground.

"Marshal, please!"

Cheng Gang hesitated slightly, but gritted his teeth and walked in.

Along the steps, Cheng Gang went down to the bottom. Everything in front of him made him completely stunned, the weapons and armor here are piled up, the two huge furnaces are constantly burning, and the weapons and armor have been created one after another, and here is a living arsenal. Even the palace armory is nothing more than that.

"How about it, Marshal Cheng? I have built this underground armory quite well!" Looking at Cheng Gang's surprised expression, the Seventh Prince, a smug expression appeared on his face.

"It's not just a look, the prince here is comparable to a country's arsenal!" Cheng Gang said in surprise.

"Let's go, I'll show you around here!"

The Seventh Prince led Cheng Gang to take a rough tour of the underground castle, of course, the Seventh Prince did not take Cheng Gang to the secret treasure house, in fact, no one has been there except him!

"I don't know when will you start acting?" Cheng Gang asked softly.

"Don't be in a hurry, sharpen your knife and don't mistake the woodcutter! When the time comes, I will inform the marshal." All the marshal has to do now is to gather the people who can be used in his hands and put them on standby. I believe that with the prestige of the marshal, he will definitely respond to every call!" the Seventh Prince said with a blank face.

"Okay, I'll go and gather the old ministry as soon as I go back!" Cheng Gang nodded and said.

Cheng Gang chatted with the Seventh Prince for a while, and then got up and retired.

As soon as Zhou Baibing waited for Cheng Gang to leave, he immediately came to the Seventh Prince, and asked with a worried face, "Lord Wang, is this Marshal Cheng really surrendering to us, if not, then wouldn't it be dangerous for us here!"

The Seventh Prince sneered, "What you are worried about, we will not be able to think of this king! Cheng Gang's every move is under the control of this king, if he honestly cooperates with this king, otherwise, I will cut down the grass and eradicate the family!"
