Chapter 220 218 [The south wind knows my will]

"Chulong, don't mess around."

Wang Cheng refuted subconsciously, his face also a little ugly.

If Lu Chen accepts the marriage arrangement, then it is natural for Wang Chulong to go south. Even if he temporarily marries in the name of Wang Shao's family, the relationship between the two parties can be fixed.

However, now that she is not even married, she, a rich young lady, goes south alone, accompanying Lu Chen day and night. It would be fine if they get married in the future. If Lu Chen turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone, where will the Wang family's face go?
  He didn't notice that after Wang Chulong said those words, Wang An's eyes lit up slightly.

Wang Chulong looked calm and said calmly: "Dad, please, although Lu Chen put forward the conditions, he did not refuse the engagement. I believe that he will keep his promise. As long as the Wang family no longer hesitates, he will not treat me badly. It’s even less possible to start chaos and end up giving up.”

Wang Chengsheng laughed angrily and said helplessly: "Silly boy, you have never met him, and all you know about him is hearsay. Why do you make such a conclusion?"

"Wang Jun mentioned some things in his letter, so he certainly won't lie to me."

Wang Chulong's eyes were soft and his tone was calm: "From a hostile standpoint, Lu Chen will definitely be an extremely difficult enemy, but if we are on the same path, he is far better than that villain who talks sweetly and is full of swords. Take Baotai Mountain. For example, Lin Jie's daughter Lin Xi helped Lu Chen in Guangling, so he took great risks and went north to help the Seven Star Gang against tens of thousands of troops. From this point of view, a man who knows how to repay his kindness can, as long as we If the Wang family treats each other sincerely, the final result will definitely be good."

Wang Cheng thought of the words Wang Jun relayed and frowned slightly: "Lin Xi should be the person Lu Chen said he meant?"

Wang Chulong said calmly: "It should be."

Wang Cheng sighed softly and said earnestly: "Chorong, my father understands that you want to do something for the Wang family, but you are a daughter after all. It will be inconvenient to go south. There is no need to discuss this matter again."

Wang Chulong has always been gentle and showy, but today he was surprisingly persistent and said softly: "Dad, those brothers in the clan should not go far away. They usually show their faces outside and have already been included in the files of the Procuratorate. If they are allowed to If you go south, you will definitely be noticed by the Procuratorate over time, which will most likely arouse suspicion and undermine the overall situation. My daughter's situation is different. No matter how long the procuratorate extends its hand, it will not be able to reach into the inner residence of our Wang family. As long as we let Sister Xueru take some cover, my daughter's departure will not be noticeable."

"This……"

Wang Cheng couldn't help but hesitate when he saw that what she said was reasonable.

Wang Chulong continued: "Dad, the word sincerity that Lu Chen said does not mean that he does not need the help of the Zhai Lin Wang family, but he just wants our Wang family to lower our posture. I went south on behalf of the Wang family to show my sincerity and want to come to him. I can no longer refuse. On the other hand, although a daughter is troublesome, sometimes it is easy to gain the trust of the other party. After all, I am just a weak woman with no power to restrain the chicken. Going to the south is to hand over my life and death. Give it to the other party."

Wang Cheng felt many twists and turns in his heart. He admitted that Wang Chulong's words were reasonable. However, after all, this was his most beloved eldest daughter. How could he rest assured that she would go south alone?

At this time, Wang An, who was sitting next to him, cleared his throat and asked gently: "Chorong, can you tell me why you suddenly came up with this idea?"

Wang Chulong turned to look at him, his eyes were clear and translucent, and he said slowly: "Uncle Cai just mentioned the helplessness of the wealthy family, and Chulong deeply agreed with this. The Wang family in Zhai Lin seems to be rich and prosperous, but there are many crises inside. Chulong Although Long is a daughter, she still wants to do something for the family. Now that my uncle has made a plan to make friends with Nan Qi, someone has to do something practical. Chu Long is willing to take up this responsibility and will die without regrets."

Wang An looked at her calmly, as if he only really knew his niece at this moment.

The reasons Wang Chulong said before were enough to convince Wang Cheng, but in Wang An's view, it was not critical. He could not find a few confidants among his entourage to do this, and there was no need to use the direct descendants of the Wang family. .

But Wang Chulong's last words moved him quite a bit. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, please go south if you'd like. I'll have someone arrange some things, and I'll tell you some secrets at home later." You. After meeting Lu Chen, you will help him plan Dongyang Road. Unless it is a major matter related to the life and death of our Wang family, you can make decisions on the fly. "

Wang Chulong said politely: "Thank you uncle for your trust."

Then he said to Wang Cheng: "Dad, don't worry, my daughter will take good care of herself."

Wang Cheng hesitated to speak. He knew that his daughter looked weak and gentle, but was actually extremely determined. Now with the support of Wang An as the head of the family, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

He could only sigh: "After going to the south, you must be careful."

"Yes, Daddy."

Wang Chulong saluted the two of them and left Lan Xuetang immediately.

Returning to the courtyard where she lived, the maid Jinshu came up to her and said, "Miss."

Wang Chulong nodded slightly and walked slowly into the study room. He stared at the books on the bookshelf that he had read many times, and he couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant to leave.

Books in this era were a rarity, and only a wealthy family like the Zhai Lin Wang family could ensure that their daughters could read more than ten thousand volumes.

Wang Chulong has been immersed in this atmosphere of poetry and calligraphy since she was a child. She knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a truly talented woman. Now she wants to put down these treasured collections of classics and history and go to a strange and distant place. In the land of the south, she saw a strange man who was very likely to be her husband, doing some strategizing things that men had mastered throughout the ages.

"Miss?" Jin Shu has been with her all year round, so he can naturally tell that her mood today is a little strange.

Wang Chulong smiled lightly, calmed down, and said calmly: "Help me pack some books and put them in boxes."

Jin Shu didn't understand what it meant and could only say respectfully: "Yes, Miss."

Wang Chulong looked around, the hesitation deep in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by the calmness as before.

……

Heading north from Heluo City, we crossed thousands of mountains and rivers all the way to Suide Mansion, the southwest important town of the original Zhao Kingdom.

Now this is the territory of Jing Dynasty.

In the city lord's palace, the dignitaries of the Zhao Kingdom were nowhere to be seen, only generals from the Jing Army kept coming and going. "Sister, don't be angry. When the affairs of Zhao State are settled, I will lead a troop for my brother and kill the bandits in Baotai Mountain first. Then I will go to Huaizhou in Southern Qi and chop off the head of Lu Chen for you." How about a drink?"

In the flower hall, which was covered with earth dragons and was as warm as spring, Qing Yuzhong looked at Qing Yu Huaijin, who looked cold, and said with a smile.

After the Yan Dynasty and the Seven Star Gang reached peace talks, Qing Yu Huaijin temporarily put down the complicated affairs in his hands and headed north under the escort of hundreds of elite masters.

Listening to her brother's heroic words, she frowned slightly and said, "Brother, why did I use that person's head to drink wine? Besides, when has brother ever seen me drinking?"

Qing Yu Zhongwang said slightly embarrassed: "Then I will capture him and make him your slave, okay?"

Qingyu Huaijin sighed: "Brother, please don't always treat me like a little girl. Are you so incompetent in front of your sister-in-law?"

Qing Yu Zhongwang was not angry at all. It was obvious that he had doted on his sister very much since he was a child, and he was used to being bullied by her words.

After the major case, Qing Yugong put down the file in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Qing Yu Zhongwang, and said calmly: "Go and do your work."

"Yes, Father."

Qing Yu Zhongwang stood up and saluted, and before leaving, he did not forget to make an ugly face to Qing Yu Huai Jin, showing no sign of his usual calmness and dignity in front of outsiders.

Qingyu Huaijin's depressed mood finally eased.

The hall was quiet except for the occasional beeping sound from the fine coals burning in the brazier.

Qing Yugong stood up and walked to sit opposite Qingyu Huaijin. He observed the expression on her face and said calmly: "It seems that the events in the south in the past two years have had a heavy impact on you."

Qingyu Huaijin did not deny it. He lowered his eyes and said, "To be honest with you, dad, I always feel that I am lagging behind others and stepping on the traps set by others every step of the way. This feeling is really unpleasant."

Qing Yugong smiled slightly and said gently: "You have shown your talent for intelligence since you were a child, but you have never met a real challenger in Dajing. You are surrounded by sycophants who can't even tell the truth." It’s hard to hear. If the wind and water are so smooth, it will naturally float on the surface, and it’s hard to be calm when things happen.”

"Why didn't Daddy want to point it out before?"

Qingyu Huaijin raised his eyes and looked at him, asking slightly puzzled.

Qing Yugong said: "There are many things in this world, and you can only know the importance of them if you experience them personally. Looking at your experience in the south in the past two years, you mainly made a few mistakes that you shouldn't have made. First of all, be too caring to the people around you. Too lenient. For example, when you went to Ruyin City and met Lu Chen and his entourage on the way, you should not have allowed those twenty people to act without authorization. Although you did not know that it was Lu Chen at the time, if you had any doubts, you must We must gather all available forces to deal with the other side.”

"This is what the art of war says. When a lion fights a hare, use all your strength. If you don't take action, then let it go. If you decide to take action, you can't give the other side a chance to resist."

He still looked warm and explained patiently.

Qingyu Huaijin nodded in agreement.

Qing Yugong added: "Secondly, the conspiracy is not difficult to crack. The key is that you have to make timely decisions. Chen Jingtang's son died unexpectedly. Whether it was an accident or a conspiracy, the first thing you have to do is to make Guo Yan's son pay for his life. If Guo Yan dares to resist, you will take him down directly. This is not because you are afraid of Chen Jingtang, but because you want to maintain the stability of the overall situation. When you were in Heluo City, you represented His Majesty and your father, and you represented the overall situation. Jing Dynasty, whoever dares to destroy the overall situation we have worked so hard to maintain, you will let him die."

Qingyu Huaijin thought of his hesitation at that time and couldn't help but said with shame, "That's what dad taught me."

Qing Yugong stared at her face and said slowly: "In the end, those who play with people's hearts cannot last long."

Qingyu Huaijin raised his head and said, "Dad, are you saying that I shouldn't deliberately provoke Pusan ​​Si'en?"

"I have read the report of the battle in the mountains. Regardless of the strength of the Seven Star Gang and Lu Chen's commanding skills, the biggest problem is that our army is too impatient, as if we wish we could send troops in the morning and return home in triumph at night. Pusan ​​Si'en has experienced Not enough, but not so irritable, so you might as well think about what makes him so impatient? What does he want to prove?"

Faced with his father's persuasive teachings, Qingyu Huaijin looked ashamed and said softly: "It was my daughter who was wrong."

Qing Yugong waved his hand and said warmly: "These are not irreparable mistakes. You are still young and can learn slowly. Zhao State still has tens of thousands of troops left to fight stubbornly. My father is prepared to spend half a year cutting his flesh with a blunt knife, and another half year It will take time to completely pacify this place. There will definitely be no peace in the south this year. There are a few things you should pay attention to after you go back."

Qingyu Huaijin said respectfully: "Dad, please show me."

"First, Li Tianrun and Xiao Wangzhi will inevitably launch the Northern Expedition, allowing the Yan army to continue to consume them. They must be strict about the gains and losses of one city and one land, and try to consume the strength of the Qi army."

"Yes."

"Secondly, the militia in Baotai Mountain should not be underestimated. If the fighting on Dongyang Road becomes tense, they will definitely attack Li Shouzhen's back. You send a message to Mou Lianghu and the others, and based on the progress of the border war, they will set up a position in Fengqiu in advance. Good pocket, as long as the Seven-Star Army dares to come out, we will catch them all."

"Yes."

"Thirdly, there are bound to be people in Heluo City who have distracting thoughts, and it is normal to have personal relationships with Nan Qi. Wang Shidao is a knife, but this knife may hurt you. You have to learn how to mobilize all forces and drive them The tiger devours the wolf, but you must save your killing move until the end. If necessary, I will have people go south to assist you."

Qingyu Huaijin listened obediently, her handsome eyes and eyebrows gradually blooming with a bright look.

A kind look appeared in Qing Yugong's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Go back to Heluo City to see your mother. Remember, that will be the fiefdom of our Qing Yu family in the future. You can kill people, but you can't hurt people's hearts. "

Qingyu Huaijin stood up and said, "Yes, daddy."
