The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 1056 Be worthy of being a 'cunning old man'

Zheng Chong didn't understand why his father was crying, but he still stretched out his hand to clean Zheng Lian very filially.

"Daddy, it's okay."

"Miss Cheng said that knowing your mistakes can make you better. Who can live without faults?"

This night, Zheng Lian thought about it for a long time.

He was thinking, if he had treated Cheng Yanyu in a different way, would everything be different?

He didn't lie to her, didn't take advantage of her trust, took advantage of his dead wife and her feelings to take her away, didn't imprison her, didn't...force her to use the Bliss Flower...

Could he and she have a different ending now?

Will she be able to replace his late wife, and Chong'er, to live together with him?
Don't worry about those time disputes and intrigues, just live in seclusion quietly without disputes, study medical skills, and various herbal medicines...

But there are no "what ifs" in this world, it's what he should have done.

Neither Xiao Yunzhi nor Jinxiu expected Zheng Lian to let go so quickly.

He agreed to do everything possible to help Zheng Chong compete for the position of King of Southern Xinjiang, and he didn't care whether Daxia would use this to turn Southern Xinjiang into a puppet state.

His people didn't tolerate him, so why should he worry about them?
As long as Chong'er is happy, it doesn't matter if Nan Jiang is used as a toy for him.

He was such a selfish person.

His life began with scheming and ended with scheming, and there was nothing wrong with that.

He kills, harms, and schemes against others, and the heavens will bring retribution to Chong'er. Now he changes his position and continues to kill, harm, and scheme against others. , very cost-effective.

Zheng Lian told Xiao Yunzhi: "If you want to bring down the King of Southern Border, you can start with the time test."

"The current King of Southern Border has a clue to fall into the hands of Shi Kao's former patriarch. That man is not dead, but he is hiding at the border between Shi Kao and the barbarians."

He had fulfilled his late wife's promise, so he left many heartfelt retainers by his side, and some of them were arranged by him to protect the patriarch.

This is why he is willing to stay in Daxia to plan.

As long as he can destroy Daxia and heal Chong'er, that patriarch is the best opportunity for him to replace the King of Southern Border.

Xiao Yunzhi pursed his lips: "Sure enough, Mr. Zheng still has a hand in his hand, and he deserves the phrase 'old treacherous and cunning'."

Zheng Lian: Don't get angry, don't get angry, no one will replace you when you get angry, just get used to this kind of thing.

With the full cooperation of Zheng Lian, it is not difficult to find the handle of the king of southern Xinjiang. The southern border began to be in chaos, and Shi Kao also followed it uncharacteristically. Anti-Southern Xinjiang alliances appeared in many places, and there were frequent fights at the border between the two tribes.

Not only that, the barbarians who had been silent for a long time also started to act.

They didn't do it themselves, so they took the initiative to provide weapon assistance to Shi Kao. After all, they are the originator of iron smelting. With their low-cost supply, the intensity of Shi Kao's sneak attack has been greatly improved. I dare not ask the barbarians for an explanation.

First of all, people do business in an orderly manner.

Second, they have a guilty conscience.

Helpless, they had no choice but to place an order to buy weapons from the barbarians because they were used to not doing production. It was more than three times higher in the exam!
The king of Nanjiang lost his hair every day in depression, but Zheng Lian drank a jar of wine happily in the prison.

Xiao Yunzhi had a drink with him through the prison door, and praised him by the way: "Scheming and tricky!"

Zheng Lian: ...

There was no fluctuation in his heart and even a little mocking: "Won't your conscience hurt when you say this?"

"I just told you about the patriarch. You are the one who instigated Shikao and the barbarians."

Xiao Yunzhi was very modest: "Where, I learned this from you."

Zheng Lian had nothing to say about this.

Anyway, I can't say it.
