In the end, both of them fell silent.
After a long time, Ma Beichen shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen in this world. It seems that we are just frogs at the bottom of a well. "
Ever since they were born, they knew what kind of situation they were facing.
But now, when they realized that they were just a group of mice kept in a box and were at risk of being killed at any time, they couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
For a moment, they were like a small boat abandoned on the sea, floating and sinking completely out of their control. It was inevitable that they felt a little discouraged.
Lin Mengya picked up the tea to moisten her dry throat.
"In fact, we don't have to be so pessimistic. The Immortal City has its fatal weakness, and we are not without advantages. But if we continue to be on our own, we will be doomed before the Immortal City comes to fight us. "
Cheng Su nodded. He knew this very well.
In recent years, whether it was the friction between the aristocratic families or the covetous eyes of the surrounding small countries, the deep-seated contradictions in Wei State had been exposed.
For example, in the army, the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief often disagreed because of political differences.
Most of the people at the bottom formed small teams based on the interests of the aristocratic families. When they fought, they didn't listen to the command at all.
The army, which was supposed to be well-disciplined, was like this, not to mention other places.
After thinking about it, Cheng Su also raised a key question.
"Your idea is good, but it is too small to use the servants in the inn as an army. Not to mention that they are too few, they don't have any cooperation training. How can they cooperate on the battlefield?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Her lips curled up, and her eyes were gentle as she smiled.
Second Brother wasn't the only one in the family who knew about these things. Wasn't there also her man?
"The inn and the commercial line are just a cover. We will find a suitable place to train a group of private soldiers. And at the end of every year, we will let these private soldiers come to the Gong family's fief for training in the name of taking inventory. "
Although she couldn't be 100% sure that there were no spies in the fief, she would gradually eliminate those who were in the way within this year.
These days, there had been some progress in cutting the stone jade.
She would try her best to expel those people from the Immortal City within this year, so that the Gong family's fief would be as solid as an iron bucket.
Cheng Su's expression loosened up a little.
He was not like Ma Beichen, who felt that he had nowhere to start.
In his opinion, no matter how strong an opponent was, there would always be a weakness.
Since ancient times, there have been many examples of a few defeating many.
There was no need to admit defeat before the two sides even started fighting.
How would you know if you didn't try?
"That's fine too. After I return, I'll send a batch of experienced generals over. You don't have to worry, they are all from poor families, and this is just my personal strength, it has nothing to do with the Cheng family. "
Lin Mengya was delighted. This was exactly what she needed.
"Thank you, Young General Cheng."
Cheng Su waved his hand, and his attitude was much gentler than before.
"Just call me Cheng Su in the future. I'll just call you Su Mei."
"Mm, that's fine too."
Ma Beichen was anxious as he watched them negotiate amicably.
He squinted at Cheng Su and said with great dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by this, Grim Face Ghost? Are you trying to bully this young master because he doesn't have anyone? Aren't you afraid that your old man will skin you alive for agreeing so easily? "
Cheng Su didn't care at all.
"This is my man!"
"You're bullying me! What's so great about having someone! "
"You're not."
"I … Just you wait, I'll report you to your old man when I get home!"
Ma Beichen was fuming, gritting his teeth in anger.
Unfortunately, this threat was not very effective, at least Cheng Su didn't take it seriously. The other two also saw it and secretly laughed.
It was so childish to report to your family when you can't beat them. Even her son didn't want to play this game.
Lin Mengya disliked it in her heart, but she still had to persuade him.
"Alright, alright, Childe Ma has done us a big favor. Have you recovered from the injuries you suffered last time? "
Ma Beichen didn't really want to make things difficult for Cheng Su. He had been used to it for so many years.
Now that someone had given him a way out, he naturally didn't need to be stubborn.
He tilted his head and gave her a smile, which he thought was charming.
"I've been fine for a long time. Why would I care about these superficial wounds? However, Miss Mei, do you know that the Gong Family has offended Liao Zhong? I'm afraid the academy will be greatly affected. "
Lin Mengya had always been a little sensitive to Ma Beichen's overly intimate way of addressing her. Fortunately, Long Tianhao wasn't here, or she would easily get angry.
"We have our own ways to deal with Liao Zhong."
"But those small families always like to protect themselves the most. How about I merge the Ma Family's school with the academy? In the future, all the disciples of the Ma Family will be sent to the Si Tai Academy. What do you think? "
With the Ma Family's attitude, it would definitely inspire some people.
Lin Mengya knew that this was Ma Beichen's way of expressing his sincerity.
Just like Cheng Su, she had no reason not to accept.
"Then I'll thank Childe Ma on behalf of Third Brother."
"You don't have to be so polite with me. I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, Sister Mei, you can call me Brother Chen. "
Lin Mengya instantly got goosebumps. This person was too shameless.
At this moment, even Third Brother, who was next to her, looked a little embarrassed. Lin Mengya forced a smile and still didn't agree to him.
"Our Gong Family has strict rules. Thank you for your kindness, Childe Ma. Oh, I suddenly remembered that there's a pot of old fire soup at home. Third Brother, we have to go back quickly. We'll take our leave first. "
Ma Beichen's face darkened as he watched her run down the stairs and into the horse carriage.
He waved his hand eagerly through the window, hoping to leave a loving impression on his Sister Mei. Unfortunately, she didn't give him the chance.
"Am I that scary?"
Ma Beichen muttered to himself gloomily as he held the heart of a young man that was riddled with holes.
"Heh."
When Cheng Su, who was next to him, heard him, he only gave him an ambiguous reply.
At that moment, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He stared at the guy in front of him with bristles all over his body.
"Did you say something in front of Sister Mei?"
"She's already gone. Why are you still pretending?"
Cheng Su ignored him. He had grown up since young, so how could he not know what kind of person he was?
Sure enough, Ma Beichen put away his frivolous look. He opened the teacup and took a sip with his eyes narrowed.
"I feel that what she said was true. But I still need to think about how to convince my old man. "
Cheng Su nodded.
Everyone knew that the Eldest Young Master of the Ma Family was a frivolous playboy, but no one knew that he was a cunning person.
Although he was not on good terms with Ma Beichen, he trusted him the most.
"When you go back, you'd better report the matter about your uncle to Uncle Cheng. We'll have to think about the other things at length. "
After leaving the teahouse and returning to the Gong Family, she was not worried about the Ma Family or the Cheng Family.
What she needed to solve the most now was not the hidden danger in Karghalik.
She had just reached home when she received the news.
She said that after Du Mu was chased out, he was penniless and started fighting with a group of beggars. He even alerted the patrol team.
But in the end, when the patrol team arrived, the crowd had dispersed and no one was caught.
When Ning Liang received the news, he did not dare to delay and immediately replied to her.
Lin Mengya looked extremely calm, as if she was not worried about this matter at all.
"Miss, there's something I don't understand. Since Du Mu is alone, why don't we seize the opportunity to catch him and interrogate him? "
Lin Mengya smiled and asked, "If you're Du Mu, knowing that your plot has been exposed and you're being watched, would you still fight with the beggars over some money and alert the patrol team?"
Ning Liang finally understood what she meant after hearing her words.
"Miss, are you saying that he deliberately attracted our attention? But if that's the case, why did he run away? If he's caught by the patrol team, won't our family be alerted? "
Lin Mengya put down the student register that she had read halfway and her eyes were filled with a hint of playfulness.
"How would you know what a smart person is thinking? If he's caught by us so easily, who would believe him? Wouldn't it be more logical for them to be caught by us when they have nowhere to go? Wouldn't that be even more logical? Don't worry about him, just ask someone to keep an eye on him. However, you must report to me who he met and what he did. "
"Yes, I understand."
As soon as Ning Liang left, Long Tianhao came over.
As soon as he entered the room, he took off his mask and revealed his handsome and flawless face.
Lin Mengya rubbed her eyebrows and looked at her man with a smile.
No wonder so many women went to him in person. His beauty was deceiving!
"What are you thinking about?"
When Long Tianhao saw the evil smile on her face, he knew that this person must be thinking of some wicked ideas in her mind.
It was highly likely that it had something to do with him.
"Nothing, I'm thinking that my husband is really good-looking."
Such a simple and straightforward compliment came from her little mouth. He did not know why, but he liked it so much.
Long Tianhao reached out and touched her little nose. With a smile in his eyes, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
A sweet peach aroma wafted out in an instant.
"Here, this is for you."
The small cloth bag was put on the table, and a few fist-sized peaches rolled out instantly.
The fine fluff had been wiped off, but the delicate peach skin was not scratched.
Just by smelling it, one could tell that the flesh inside must be delicious and juicy.
She immediately picked up a peach and took a bite.
"Puff!" The sweet juice filled her mouth, which was the taste she liked.
"Why is it so sweet? Where did you buy it? "
Seeing that she liked it, Long Tianhao's heart was sweeter than eating a peach.
"When I was exploring around with them, I found a wild peach tree by chance. I've asked someone to dig it up and plant it in your yard, okay? "
Lin Mengya nodded repeatedly. Such a species was hard to come by.
After eating three in a row, she patted her half-full belly and talked to him with a smile.
