Chapter 352 How Do You Know
With Zhao Shuying's calm personality, he simply ignored the pair of puzzled eyes. After looking around lightly for a week, Zhao Shuying's gaze once again focused on where Ma Zheng was.

"Is he in there? I knew it was right."

Everyone was stunned. What kind of answer was this? They confirmed their guesses through their expressions. Did Zhao Shuying answer everyone, or did everyone answer Zhao Shuying?

"I think I'd better find a place to rest first." Huang Che shrugged his shoulders. Of course, he knew Zhao Shuying's temperament better. He knew that it would be useless to say anything to her in this situation, unless it was to find the most important thing. Otherwise, Zhao Shuying is not easy to communicate most of the time.

When Zhao Shuying noticed that Huang Che's eyes moved to her, there was finally movement. She turned her head slightly and said to Huang Che: "Don't worry about me, I will go to rest later."

After saying these words, Zhao Shuying's whole body became silent again, just like a statue of a jade girl, standing silently on the ground facing the holy object.Although she didn't close those beautiful eyes, anyone who saw her eyes felt the same way—these eyes were not in focus.

In other words, Zhao Shuying was here, but his heart no longer knew where he was going.

From the outside world, Ma Zheng, who had just returned to Mawang Mansion in Tianshui City, suddenly disappeared, but it also attracted the attention of many people.

In the city lord's mansion, Li Hong is receiving massages from two maids to relax. At the same time, there are several young and beautiful maids who serve Li Hong tea or fruit from time to time. Only a wealthy family like the Li family can afford it.

But Li Hong's enjoyment was completely over after Li Yan came in.

Although Li Zong said that he loved Li Hong very much, it was not without conditions. For example, this time when Li Hong went to Bashu, he not only failed to complete the tasks entrusted to him by his family and Li Zong, but also caused a heavy loss in manpower. Almost took his own life.

Fortunately, Li Hong's luck was also good, and he managed to escape with his life under the desperate protection of his subordinates. These days, because he was worried about someone secretly assassinating him, Li Hong would not leave Li's residence even if others asked him to, and enjoyed life at home happily.But as Lao Tzu, Li Bing has been working very hard these days.

On the one hand, he needs to determine whether Zhao Shuying has really given up chasing and killing Li Hong.Although Li Yan's status is prominent, it's still not enough to compare with Zhao Shuying, let alone the king of Zhongshan.Just one Zhao Shuying has already given Li Bin a headache. If the Zhao family is involved, the trouble will be even greater.

Apart from this worry, Li Yan also had to figure out where Ma Zheng was going.

What happened in Zhuge's house was known to the whole world, and the emperor was even more furious. Now the court is preparing to start a thorough investigation of the matter, which makes Li Yan very nervous.

As a new generation of imperial nobles, it is not easy for the Li family to grow step by step to the level of the five kings with different surnames. It has already been prepared.

It's just that other than the Li family, the other new generation of nobles pinned their hopes on the gradual growth of generations, and did not imagine that they could reach the sky in one step.

However, Li Bing is different. He is not lacking in wisdom. In other words, he actually knows the real reason why the five kings with different surnames and the Zhuge family have endured for so long. Therefore, Li Bing knows better than others. If there is no special opportunity, at least within a few hundred years, it is almost impossible for the new generation of nobles like the Li family to surpass the five kings with different surnames. Being uprooted by others, but such established families as the five different surname Wangs and the Zhuge family will never have such a crisis.

It is precisely because Li Yan's wisdom allows him to see what others have not seen, which makes him feel a stronger sense of crisis in his heart. He is not only worried that the Li family will not be able to rise, but he is even more worried that if the Li family will not be able to rise in the future The successor of the Li family does not have enough wisdom and skills, which is likely to lead to the destruction of the entire Li family, so he is eager to improve the strength of the entire family.

Compared with the old aristocrats like the five kings with different surnames who have unique family knowledge and whose status is difficult to shake, the Zhuge family is different.

In a sense, all the Zhuge family's reliance lies in the workshop in the family. If the technology and talents in the workshop can be gathered together, it won't take long to recreate a family that is comparable to Zhuge. The existence of a family is like a life-saving talisman for the Li family.

Li Zan, who thinks he has a lot of research on imperial studies, believes that it is risky to attack Zhuge's family to master the manufacture of advanced ordnance, but as long as the matter is successful, it is done, and the finished product can be produced in a short time, even if it is revealed afterwards. If it is handled in a proper way, not only will the Li family not encounter a crisis, but it will be able to soar into the sky.

It is not a good thing for the entire empire to have only one Zhuge family provide advanced armaments. This is not in line with the core idea of ​​the emperor's power strategy. This is what Li Yan originally gambled on.But I didn't expect to concentrate my strength and things happened suddenly, and the final operation failed.

Even if it is a Zhuge family that established its family with ordnance technology, it cannot be easily shaken by the Li family. Even if the Li family secretly united with the Da Yue clan, the result is still the same.

The failure of the mission brought a huge crisis to Li Yan, or to say, to the Li family, and Ma Zheng was the most important link to solve this crisis.

Even though the Li family didn't have much exposure in this earth-shattering attack, Li Zong thinks that Ma Zheng may have enough evidence in his hands, and even Ma Zheng himself is a piece of evidence.

If the emperor must investigate this matter to the end in the future, Ma Zheng's words will be very crucial.At that time, Ma Zheng was still a criminal of the imperial court, so it is understandable that the Li family sent innate masters to chase and kill Ma Zheng, but if Ma Zheng insisted that those innate warriors did not bother him at all, but went directly to Zhuge's workshop , I am afraid that even if the emperor does not want to deal with the Li family, it will not work.

"There is no news about Ma Zheng, are you still eating, drinking and having fun here?"

Li Bing stared at Li Hong with an unfriendly expression, being scolded in front of several beautiful maids, Li Hong was actually very upset, but it is one thing to be unhappy, but another thing to dare to offend Li Bing.

"Father, that kid Ma Zheng knows where he died. If he knew, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking too much, and I would have brought someone to beat that kid to ashes!"

Li Hong was taking care of himself, but unfortunately, Li Zan, who was always kind and loving, was a little different today.

"You don't know where Ma Zheng went? Hmph, let me tell you then!"

Seeing that Li Yan didn't show the slightest smile because of his words, on the contrary, his face became more and more ugly, Li Hong quickly got serious, drove away all the maids around him, stood up himself, and approached Li Yan like a good son. Beside Zan, he asked in a low voice, "Father, where did Ma Zheng go?"
