Chapter 224
There is nothing wrong with Chen Zhibao's thoughts and words.

Because he really was thinking about Beiliang, and what he said was indeed the truth.

Although they knew that Chen Zhibao had always been very dissatisfied with the imperial court, Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian were still a little surprised when they learned that Chen Zhibao had such an idea.

The father and son stared at the white-robed soldier saint, speechless for a long time.

The living room fell into silence for a while.

Finally, Xu Xiao spoke, breaking the silence.

The old King Liang stared at Chen Zhibao and said softly: "Zhibao, with your attitude, are you willing to be called a traitor and be infamy for thousands of years?"

The soldier saint in white said calmly: "I've been scolded for a long time anyway, it doesn't matter how much I get scolded."

What Chen Zhibao said made Xu Xiao unable to refute, because what he said was true.

Today, the political correctness of Li Guo is to run against Beiliang and scold Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, and other Beiliang people.

Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "Justice lies in the heart of the people."

"Zhi Bao, I, the Beiliang people, don't say that everyone has character and spirit, but I believe that most people are not willing to bear the name of traitor, nor are they willing to actually betray the country."

"Leave aside the fact that there are no intact eggs under the overturned nest. Just for the sake of other innocent people, I, Beiliang, cannot open the northern gate and let the Qin army drive in."

Chen Zhibao did not argue with Xu Xiao, but still said calmly: "Have you ever thought about whether Beiliang can withstand the Qin army? Have you ever thought about whether Beiliang can be saved?"

"If Beiliang is gone, what's the point of everything else?"

Xu Xiao said in a very firm tone: "I believe Beiliang can defend it. Even without any assistance, as long as there are 30 cavalry, Beiliang will not be harmed by the Qin army."

Chen Zhibao still did not refute, but asked: "Is my adoptive father willing to use up all the money he has built throughout his life?"

Xu Xiao said: "Of course I am reluctant to give up. I will find a way. If Qin really attacks Li Guo in a large scale, I will find reinforcements."

Chen Zhibao asked: "Where can we find reinforcements? The Liyang court is eager for Beiliang to decline, so how can it help Beiliang?"

Xu Xiao said: "I have my own plan."

Although Xu Xiao didn't say it explicitly, Chen Zhibao could imagine what Xu Xiao would plan.

"Did the foster father place his hopes on the King of Qi, Zhao Wuji?"

Xu Xiao was not surprised that Chen Zhibao could guess it. He nodded calmly.

After receiving the definite answer, the soldier saint in white frowned slightly.

"Although Zhao Wuji is the son-in-law of the Xu family, he is still a son of the royal family after all."

"I need to remind my adoptive father not to have too high expectations for Zao Wuji."

Xu Xiao nodded: "I understand."

Chen Zhibao said: "I just put forward my idea. As for the decision, it is up to the adoptive father to make his own decision."

After saying this, Chen Zhibao remained silent.

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully."

Xu Xiao seemed to be tired and waved his hand: "You go!"

Chen Zhibao stood up and saluted Xu Xiao, then turned around and left.

Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry to leave.

After Chen Zhibao left, he said to Xu Xiao: "Dad, if Chen Zhibao doesn't support your idea, I'm worried there will be a big problem."

Xu Xiao said: "Don't worry, although Zhibao's ideas are different from ours, he will not go against my will. Zhibao still listens to my words."

After hearing what Xu Xiao said, Xu Fengnian nodded and said nothing more about Chen Zhibao.

"Dad, if Qin really launches a massive attack, even if Beiliang can block it, it will pay an extremely heavy price or even cease to exist. We need to be well prepared."

Xu Xiao nodded: "I know."

Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "I can't count on the imperial court or other vassal princes. I can only count on Zhao Wuji. I want to have a good talk with Zhao Wuji."

Xu Fengnian said: "Dad, let me go and talk to my brother-in-law!" Seeing Xu Fengnian's confident look, Xu Xiao nodded: "Okay, then you go."

"I'll go now."

After saying this, Xu Fengnian got up and left.

After Xu Fengnian left, Xu Xiao was the only one left in the living room.

The old King of Northern Liang murmured to himself: "This burden is really heavy!"

"If Su Su knew that I had placed such a heavy burden on Feng Nian, she would probably blame me, right?"

"In order not to be blamed too much when I go to see Su Su underground in the future, I have to try to arrange everything before I die."

After Xu Fengnian came out of the living room, he went straight back to the front yard.

"Brother-in-law."

Xu Fengnian walked up to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes.

"Is the matter cleared up?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "That bullshit eldest prince of Qin came here just to win over Beiliang. Qin is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Li."

After learning this news, although Zhao Wuji remained calm, his heart still stirred up quite a stir.

Who gave you the courage of Qin State to prepare a large-scale attack on Li State?

Zhao Wuji asked: "Feng Nian, is it reliable that Qin is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Li?"

Xu Fengnian replied: "Reliable, the State of Qin has stationed troops at the border between Qin and Li."

Zhao Wuji said: "This Qin State is so courageous. It really wants to invade Li State."

Xu Fengnian said: "The main reason is that the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was too ambitious and wanted to dominate the world, which made the entire Qin State more warlike."

Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement: "Indeed, among the emperors of the five empires, it is Ying Zheng who wants to annex other empires the most."

"The State of Qin sent Ying Fusu to win over Beiliang. The abacus was quite good, but it was just in the wrong place."

Zhao Wuji looked at Xu Fengnian, and then said: "Fengnian, my father-in-law must have not agreed to let Beiliang fall to Qin, right?"

Xu Fengnian replied: "No."

"Dad, he lived a wise life. Although he is old, he is not an old fool, so he cannot be a traitor."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "As expected."

Xu Fengnian turned to say seriously: "Brother-in-law, if the Qin State really launches a large-scale attack on Li Guo, the pressure on Beiliang, which is the first to bear the brunt, will be very great."

"Beiliang's cavalry is powerful, but after all, there are only 30. If the Qin State mobilizes all the Qin troops to invade, Beiliang may not be able to withstand it."

"And even if it is blocked, the price paid will be very high, even to the point of being unbearable."

After hearing what Xu Fengnian said, Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement.

Xu Fengnian stared at Zhao Wuji, and then said: "Brother-in-law, if Qin really launches an all-out war against Li Guo, can you help Beiliang?"

Zhao Wuji nodded without hesitation: "Of course I will help."

Zhao Wuji only said this sentence, and his tone was very calm.

But Xu Fengnian believed in Zao Wuki. In his opinion, Zao Wuki's words were enough.

Xu Fengnian said in a grateful tone: "I feel relieved to have a brother-in-law."

Zhao Wuji stood up, patted Xu Fengnian's shoulder, and encouraged: "Fengnian, from now on you will have to shoulder the heavy burden of Beiliang, you must bear it."

Xu Fengnian nodded heavily and said in an extremely firm tone: "Well, I will definitely be able to withstand it!"

After Ying Fusu and others came out of Beiliang Prince's Mansion, they took a carriage and headed outside Liangzhou City.
