Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 379 Calculation and Misunderstanding

"Dad, what about those guards from the capital?" Wang Ai said
"What should we do? Of course we should kill them. No matter what their purpose is or who sent them, since they are here, we should not leave!" Wang Shanquan said

"Yes, I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done." Wang Ai bowed and said
After hearing this, Wang Shanquan didn't say anything, but just waved his hand. After seeing this, Wang Ai slowly walked out.

Wang Ai came to Lanxiaofang again and met Xifeng. This time he was much more well-behaved.

"Madam, my father told me to get rid of them all. I don't know what they look like or how many there are?" Wang Ai said
"Sir, I don't know exactly how many people there are, but when my little sister saw them, there were three of them." Xifeng said
"Three people? Madam, please send someone to find out about the three people. I'm going to lead the troops to arrest them. By the way, madam, is the military advisor here?" Wang Ai said
"Sir, our boss is always here. Do you want to see him?" Xifeng said
"My dear, I think I should ask the military advisor about this matter. If I go alone, it will inevitably be inappropriate. If there is something I didn't expect, it will be troublesome." Wang Ai said
"Okay, I'll go tell the boss right away. Sir, please wait for me." Xifeng said
After hearing this, Wang Ai behaved himself for once. After Xifeng came out of the room, he went to Luo Zishang's room soon and told him what had happened.

"Oh? This Wang Ai is really interesting. Since he wants to see me, then of course I have to see him. Let's go together and don't let him come over." Luo Zishang said in a deep voice

Afterwards, Luo Zishang and Xifeng got up and went directly to Xifeng's room.

"Hey, military advisor, why did you come here in person? I should be the one visiting you. How can I be embarrassed to do this?" Wang Ai hurriedly stood up and said to Luo Zishang.
Luo Zishang naturally hurriedly said a few polite words, and then the two of them sat down.

"Military Advisor, I'm sure my wife has told you everything. What do you think I should do?" Wang Ai said
"Sir, do you want to hear the best strategy or the middle strategy?" Luo Zishang asked directly.

"Military Advisor, I'd better listen to the middle strategy first." Wang Ai said directly
"Sir, the middle strategy is to complete the mission honestly, and then take this opportunity to gain the appreciation of the governor. However, you have many brothers, so I am afraid..."

"Even if you accomplish this task, you may not be able to stand out. You will still have to compete with others. Then, what are your advantages, young master?" Luo Zishang asked

Wang Ai didn't speak for a while after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Military Advisor, what is the best strategy?"

"Sir, the best strategy is to complete the task, but it does not mean to do it completely, but to bleed and leave flaws. Sir, Yangzhou is stable at the moment, which is very disadvantageous to you."

"After all, if time passes, anything can happen, so it's better to let Yangzhou go into chaos so that you can take advantage of the situation." Luo Zishang said

"Um, Military Advisor, do you want me to let them go?" Wang Ai asked
"That's right, sir. You are going to let them go, but not all of them. You also cannot let them know that you are letting them go on purpose. You have to let them think that they escaped on their own."

"No matter who sent them this time, as soon as they return, the person behind the scenes will definitely make the next move. By that time, Yangzhou will be in chaos."

"Once Yangzhou is in chaos, your chance will come, won't it?" Luo Zishang said

"Well, the military advisor is right. Okay, let's do it. Madam, tell me the whereabouts of those three people and I will go and drive them away." Wang Ai said
Seeing Wang Ai's excited look, Xifeng naturally knew what to do, so he told Wang Ai directly that that was the residence of the three of them. After hearing that, Wang Ai left directly.

After he left, Xifeng asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Of course we can just watch the show. After all, we still don't know who sent them here. This won't do. It's not conducive to our plan." Luo Zishang said

Xifeng didn't say anything after hearing this, and Luo Zishang just stood up and left.

At this time, Wang Ai had gathered people to surround the guards' residence. When they started fighting, they found that there were actually five of them. After a fierce fight, one of them still escaped.

"Father, I am not doing my job well. Please punish me." Wang Ai bowed and said
"Okay, this can't be entirely blamed on you, go out." Wang Shanquan waved his hands in annoyance.

After hearing this, Wang Ai naturally didn't dare to say anything more and directly left the study. After returning to his room, Wang Ai felt a little regretful. Was it really right for him to do this?

Is there really a chance like this? My father was already dissatisfied with me just now, wasn't he? Wang Ai was immersed in the fear of gain and loss all night.

But Wang Shanquan didn't care about all this. He didn't think it was a big deal if one person ran away. As long as the person was driven away and no longer under his nose, it didn't matter.

But after one of them ran away, there were still some problems, so he did not see Wang Ai again, and this also gave his other sons hope.

At this time in Chuanzhou, Liu Changfeng was in the study, chatting with his father.

"Father, the frontline is progressing very smoothly. My elder brother and second brother are invincible all the way. Lingnan can't stop them at all. Now they have reached the state capital." Liu Changfeng said

"Chang Feng, in fact, the greatest contribution in this battle goes to you. After all, wars are fought for food and grass. Whoever has sufficient food and grass has a greater chance of winning."

"If it weren't for the silver you brought back, I really wouldn't have the confidence to fight this battle this time, so it's all thanks to you." Liu Xing knew

"Father, you are too kind. Everything I have done is what I should do. Compared with my elder brother and the second brother, what I have done is nothing. After all, they are fighting on the battlefield."

"I was just hiding in the back, collecting some food and grass. Compared with them, I am nothing. This greatest credit cannot be attributed to my son. I am unworthy of it." Liu Changfeng said

"Changfeng, you, kid, it's enough, go back. When your elder brother has the result, your father will definitely not treat you unfairly." Liu Xingzhi shook his head helplessly.
After hearing this, Liu Changfeng naturally bowed hurriedly and then left the study. After he left, Liu Xingzhi nodded with satisfaction.

He is very satisfied with his son. He never asks for things that do not belong to him. He has always been clear-headed and always fulfills his duties.

This is also the reason why he has been using him for so many years. At this time, Liu Changfeng did not know his father's thoughts. At this time, he was in his mother's room. "Son, what did your father say to you? Did he not embarrass you?" Liang Wan said
"Mother, what are you thinking about? Of course not, father even praised me." Liu Changfeng said

"That's good, that's good. You don't know, I've been worried since the battle started. After all, the responsibility of food and supplies is huge. What if something goes wrong?"

"You won't be able to handle it. They will definitely take advantage of the situation. Even your father won't protect you. After all, we are outsiders."

"They have always disliked us and always thought that we would take away the Liu family's things, but they never thought about what we could take away. We can't take anything."

"Your father is very smart. If it weren't for those people fighting overtly and covertly, which made your father angry, the power of the housekeeper would not have fallen into my hands."

"I seem to be in power these years, but in reality, you should know best what kind of life I live. In fact, I have wanted to hand over the power of housekeeper for a long time."

"I tried to test your father several times, but he interrupted me every time. It's obvious that he doesn't want to change because it's too troublesome. But if he doesn't change, we will always be in trouble." Liang Wan said
"Mother, I think that it is better for you to have this power than for my sisters-in-law. After all, they have been united against the common enemy for many years." Liu Changfeng said with a smile

"You, you little bastard, how dare you tease me, your mother?" Liang Wan scolded with a smile
Mother, seriously, you really cannot give up this right. I am very sure that once you really give it up, father will choose another one from the room.

"Mother, this is related to your future, whether you can become the queen. You can't be confused at this time. Don't mention the matter of handing over power again in the future." Liu Changfeng said seriously.

"Ah? Son, tell me the truth, is your father's chance really that great this time?" Liang Wan said in disbelief.

"Mother, in my opinion, as long as father can maintain his mentality, the throne will definitely fall into our hands in the end."

"Mother, in fact, our family has always had few rivals in the whole world. Now that Yangzhou is in chaos, our family has a much better chance."

If we wait until Lingnan is taken down this time and our worries are resolved, our family will be even stronger. By then, we can look north to the Central Plains. "Liu Changfeng said

"Oh. So, this power really can't be handed over. Not only can it not be handed over, but I have to take back what I have given away." Liang Wan said
"Mother, we just need to take our time with this matter. Don't rush it. After all, father's attitude is the most important. You can give it a try next time." Liu Changfeng said

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, son. I won't hold you back. Although I don't know what you think, you are my son, so I still understand you."

"Do what you want to do. No matter what the final result is, I, your mother, will do my best to help you. Okay, let's go back. I should take a rest." Liang Wan said
After hearing this, Liu Changfeng naturally bowed and then left his mother's room. After coming out of the room, he went straight back to his own room.

As soon as he entered the room, he pulled up the still confused Yun'er without saying a word and started the action. After everything was over, Yun'er asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you today? Why are you like this?"

"Madam, what's wrong? Don't you like me like this?" Liu Changfeng said with a smile

"Not really, I am, I am, oh, I won't talk to you anymore, husband, you bully me, I won't talk anymore, I won't talk anymore." Yun'er said shyly
"You are already an old married couple, why are you shy? But I like you like this. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue, hahaha." Liu Changfeng laughed

Time passed slowly, and the guard who had escaped by chance finally returned to the capital. He fainted as soon as he reached the palace gate. When he woke up again, he was already in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again. Wang Shanquan somehow discovered our whereabouts and sent someone to arrest us."

"We fought hard, but the other four brothers died. I was lucky enough to escape. Your Highness, it seems that Wang Shanquan got the news." said the guard.
"Hmm? What did you say? Wang Shanquan got the news? What news did he get?" the prince said
"Your Highness, after we arrived, we found that Wang Shanquan had sent a large number of people to start a careful search of places related to the Gu family, as if they were looking for something."

"I think he must have received the news and is looking for the money," said the guard.
"What? Bastard, Wang Shanquan, this damn bastard! Someone, call Gu Langhua to me and tell him to get out of here right now!" the prince said angrily
When Gu Langhua learned that the prince had summoned him, he knew that something might have happened, so after comforting his wife, he followed the visitor.

After they left, Jiang Rou looked at her husband's back with a worried look on her face.

"Your Highness, I, Gu Langhua, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Langhua bowed and said

"Okay, get up. I have something to ask you. Didn't you say before that you have dealt with all the people who knew the whereabouts of the money?"

"But when I sent people over this time, how come I found that Wang Shanquan was sending people to search your Gu family's place? Are you lying to me?" the prince asked
"Your Highness, I am innocent. Your Highness, how dare I do this? I absolutely dare not deceive Your Highness. All the people involved have indeed been dealt with."

"Your Highness, we didn't know at the beginning that the situation would turn out like this. We kept it to guard against unexpected events. How could we let outsiders know?" Gu Langhua said

"Then tell me, what's going on with Wang Shanquan? Why did he want to search? How do you explain this?" the prince asked directly.

"Your Highness, when I took advantage of Liu Changfeng's departure from Yangzhou, I set up a trap. You know this. Wang Shanquan also lost a son when he tried to intercept the ship."

"He will never give up. Maybe he learned about the Liu family's situation from Chuanzhou, so he just realized it." Gu Langhua said

After hearing this, the prince was silent for a while. He naturally did not believe this statement, but he also believed that Gu Langhua would not dare to lie to him, so there must be something wrong and he didn't know it.
