Xu Qingchen's handsome face turned cold. "Even if it wasn't Lei Zhenting's idea, he still can't get away with it."
Although Marquis Nan had spent the rest of his life as a coward, he was still a fierce general who had once galloped on the battlefield. As an outsider, he could see things more clearly. He stroked his beard and smiled. "This time, I'm afraid that Lei Zhenting was also schemed against." Jhennam Of Gojoseon's loss this time was not small. Jhennam Of Gojoseon was probably vomiting blood from the heartache right now. Prince Ding had been in hiding for many years, but every time he made a move, it was enough to shock the world.
Fu Zhao, who was standing behind his father, asked worriedly, "Prince Ding's actions might affect the Prince's reputation." Even though they were far away in the northwest, Prince Ding's name had spread throughout the entire northwest. There was no need to doubt other places as well. As people from the Prince Ding Mansion, they naturally knew that the number of people Prince Ding had killed was not as many as the rumors said. However, the influence of these people was more serious than if he had really massacred an entire city. Now, the rumors outside had become that Prince Ding had massacred the entire Emperor Of Xiling City. Even the matter that had been suppressed in Bian City had been brought up. For a time, many scholars had a bad impression of Prince Ding. However, the Xu family, who held the most power in the northwest and was the leader of the humanities in the northwest, did not say anything. This made Fu Zhao somewhat puzzled.
Xu Qingchen smiled faintly. "Brother Fu, you still don't see it clearly. As the saying goes, preventing people from talking is more important than preventing a river from flowing. It's better to let it out than to block it. When they say they are satisfied, they will naturally stop talking. "
"Won't this affect Prince Ding's reputation?" Fu Zhao frowned and asked. People who wanted to rule the world would always pay more attention to their reputation.
Xu Qingchen turned to look at Marquis Nan and asked, "Marquis Nan, what do you think?"
Marquis Nan shook his head and said, "The winner is the king and the loser is the thief. A short message is nothing. Moreover, rumors were just rumors. Once the rumors were dispelled, the world would only respect Prince Ding even more. As for those nerds who have become stupid from reading too much, I'm sure Master Prince Ding won't care about them. "
Xu Qingchen nodded and said with a smile, "Marquis Nan is right. Given the relationship between the Xu family and the Prince Ding Mansion … unless it is absolutely necessary, the Xu family won't easily speak up for Prince Ding. What's more, now that the world is in chaos, Prince Ding's reputation … is not bad. " At the very least, there were more people who were afraid of Mo Xiuyao than those who dared to scheme against him, and there were fewer people who dared to betray the Prince Ding Mansion. Sometimes, fear was also a very good way to control people. Of course, he couldn't go overboard. Wasn't the assassination attempt on Princess Ding a very good reason? In the future … Li 'er would be safer, right? After this, the world should know that even if Prince Ding was deeply in love with the princess, if something happened to Princess Ding, Master Prince Ding wouldn't collapse or fall. He would only become crazier and more cold-blooded.
"Now, Prince Ding is still in West-Hill. When Prince Ding returns to Glass City, will there be any accidents in West-Hill? "Marquis Nan asked worriedly.
Xu Qingchen said, "Qingbai is still a little young. However, after this lesson, he should understand what it means to use severe measures in troubled times."
Marquis Nan and his son couldn't help but look at each other. Fu Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Qingchen curiously, "Master Qingchen, you don't seem to feel sorry for those nobles in West-Hill?" Although many of them were related to assassins, everyone knew that most of them were the confidants of Jhennam Of Gojoseon and the truly talented people in West-Hill. Prince Ding's action had cut off the talents in West-Hill for the next ten years.
Xu Qingchen smiled coldly, "As long as Prince Ding doesn't kill the common people, as for those people … how many of them are truly innocent? Even if they are innocent … "Looking out of the pass, the land outside Feihong Pass was barren and broken walls and wails could be heard everywhere. Xu Qingchen raised his hand and pointed to a place far away, "Is there anyone more innocent than them?" The truly innocent were the common people struggling in the war. It wasn't suitable for the nobles who started the war.
Marquis Nan sighed softly, "Master Qingchen is right." Looking into the distance, those places … used to be his homeland. But now, there were wails everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.
Xu Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly, "If it's not Jhennam Of Gojoseon's idea, then there's only one person who has the ability to do so … Ren Qining. Very good, if I don't do something to repay him, wouldn't Qingbai and Li 'er's suffering be in vain? Someone come. "
A man in black appeared behind Xu Qingchen. It was Wei Lin, who had been left behind by Ye Li in the northwest.
"Wei Lin, go to the Chu capital personally. Tell Leng Haoyu that there's no need to return to the northwest for the time being. Assist the Da Chu State's army in defending the Chu capital. "Xu Qingchen said lightly.
Wei Lin didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said in a low voice, "I understand. I'll take my leave."
"Master Qingchen, defending the Chu capital is a little …" Marquis Nan frowned. He had some understanding of the Da Chu State's military strength and combat power. Even with Lenghuai and Duke Hua, the Chu capital couldn't be defended for three months. And within three months, it would be difficult for the Mohist army to send reinforcements to the Chu capital.
Xu Qingchen smiled lightly and said, "General Lü's hundreds of thousands of troops have been restless for a long time. It's just that they didn't dare to move because they were guarding against Lei Zhenting. Now that Lei Zhenting is fighting to the death with Mo Jingli, it's too late to withdraw even if they want to. Once we resolve the siege in front of us, there should be enough time to go to the Chu capital. By then, the Prince should be back. "
Marquis Nan silently calculated. He felt that although Xu Qingchen's move was risky, it wasn't impossible. Most importantly, if they succeeded, then the Prince Ding Mansion's territory would more than double its current size.
"But this way, we'll have to face the entire Northern Tribes and Northern Territory. There's also Lei Zhenting in the south. Once he stabilizes his position, it's hard to say if he won't turn around and surround us with the Northern Tribes and Northern Territory. With Mo Jingli's courage, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him. "
Xu Qingchen smiled lightly and said, "Doesn't Lei Zhenting still have Murong Shen? Besides, we still have an ambush in the Da Chu State."
"…"
