Xiao Chen has always been unwilling to start a war with Da Zhou. In the past, he was not strong enough to defeat him, so he could only be conciliatory and humble.
Now he is strong enough to compete with Zhou Dynasty, but he still doesn't want to start a war, because he knows that once a war starts, it will not end in a year or two. During this period, many, many soldiers will die, thousands of Tens of thousands of people suffered... This was the last thing he wanted to see.
Xiao Chen hoped that this matter could be solved in a more peaceful way, such as directly sending an assassin to kill Li Wanjiang.
But he also knew that Li Wanjiang was not easy to kill. In addition, even if he was killed, there were Li Feng and Li Shi. These two princes did not like peace very much...
Moreover, these two will definitely not surrender to him, nor will they form an alliance with him even if they are beaten to death. Most of them are not willing to be alliance leaders like Uluolan and Ulman.
Xiao Chen actually had an idea in his mind, and this idea had been around for a long, long time, but he had never told anyone...
There was no wind at night and the sky was full of stars. Xiao Chen leaned on the railing alone, staring at the Milky Way across the sky in a daze.
"Hey, who are you thinking of?" The fat man strolled over to strike up a conversation, "Let me guess, Liu Ruyun, Ren Tiantang..."
"Ren Bijiang." Xiao Chen said.
"What do you want him to do?" The fat man really didn't guess.
"Guess, aren't you a divine guesser?" Xiao Chen said casually.
"I'm afraid I'll scare you if I guess it," the fat man said.
"I can bet you ten thousand taels that you can't guess it." Xiao Chen felt that even the gods couldn't guess what he was thinking, "But you can't use the incense on me."
"Even the calming incense can't enchant you, let alone the enchanting incense." The fat man said, "But it's not necessary at all... How much did you want to bet with me just now? Ten thousand taels, right, gold or silver?"
"Full gold!" Xiao Chen said, "I can bet you a hundred thousand taels, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get it out!"
"It's true that I can't take it out, but you don't have that kind of gold, so let's just bet a thousand taels of silver for us brothers to have a little fun without hurting our friendship."
Anything more is nonsense. No matter who wins or loses, we won’t give anything. We are all brothers. Who the hell doesn’t know who else’s virtue?
So it’s safer to bet less.
"Do you really dare me to bet?" Xiao Chenqi asked, "Aren't you the king of gamblers and the one who always wins every bet? How dare you do this to me? I can bet that you will lose."
"Let's see... do you want to bet or not? There's so much nonsense!" The fat man was eager to give it a try.
"Why are you betting?" Xiao Chen was shocked by the fat man's aura and was a little dazed for a moment.
"Let's bet what do you want Ren Bijiang to do?" The fat man was confident.
"It's surprising that you guessed my idea correctly..." Xiao Chen didn't believe it.
"I'm just laughing at you for not daring to do that!" Fatty said.
"I'm afraid you'll lose money!" Xiao Chen said.
"Goodbye." The fat man turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, don't go, it's a bet, just say it." Xiao Chen quickly pulled him back.
"Officially." Fatty has always been serious about gambling, including gold.
"It's official." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"Wait for me to count with my fingers." The fat man narrowed his eyes, bent his fingers, and muttered something serious, as if he really knew how to tell fortunes.
"You are wondering whether Ren Bijiang is Li Wanjiang's son." The fat man had already figured out the root cause.
"Nonsense, I've been thinking about this, why should you guess?" Xiao Chen said.
"If he is really Li Wanjiang's son, you want to put him on the throne and become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he does well, you will lead the entire northern border of Yanyun County to surrender to him, so that you can avoid war with the Great Zhou Dynasty. , you can worry less from now on, right?" Fatty said calmly.
"Fuck!" Xiao Chen was shocked, "Fat man, you are either really good at telling fortunes in secret, or you are the roundworm in my belly!"
"I've figured out that you're a naive kid!" Fatty said loudly, "Why do you really think so?"
"Why are you so loud?" Xiao Chen quickly covered his mouth.
"I'll be mad enough!" Fatty said, "If that's the case, I won't be able to be the uncle I am."
"Aren't you just doing this for money?" Xiao Chen said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you a rich man when the time comes, as rich as the enemy of the country."
"Put it down. Who knows what will happen in the future? You'd better give me the bet first." The fat man said.
"Seriously, Fatty, what do you think?" Xiao Chen felt relieved when Fatty found out what he was thinking.
"Not everyone can be an emperor." Fatty said, "Even I might not be able to do it. As for that boy Pijiang..."
"This kid Bijiang has a bit of an imperial air to say the least. Sometimes when I see him standing there, I feel in a trance. I feel like he is a younger version of Li Wanjiang. He can be good at writing and martial arts. In Xuanming City When he fought with Xian He, he showed quite the demeanor of a general, and even Li Tanhua was full of praise for him, but..." Xiao Chen frowned.
"But what?" the fat man asked.
"But if he is not Li Wanjiang's son, it will be difficult for him to ascend the throne. My idea finally came to nothing. Also, do you know why I didn't kill the young leader of the Demon Cult, Mu Ziqiu?" Xiao Chen said, " This boy seems to be Li Wanjiang's nephew, but his mother seems to be Li Wanjiang's woman..."
"Ah? Why is there such a thing?" The fat man was shocked after hearing this.
"That's what he said. He said that the leader of the Demon Cult is called Mu Ziwantian and he is his biological father. Lu Yanqiu is his biological mother. Danqiu told me that when the Queen Mother was about to die, she cursed Lu Yanqiu as Li Wanjiang. A wild woman outside would be a bastard even if she gave birth to a son... So, is this bastard Bijiang or Mu Ziqiu?" Xiao Chen said.
"You went to Japan just because you wanted to ask Ren Haitang about this, right?" Fatty said.
"Do you think it's possible that she made a mistake?" Xiao Chen said.
"That's right. Pijiang looks so much like Li Wanjiang. It's impossible for so many coincidences to happen to him alone, right?" said the fat man.
"That's what I mean." Xiao Chen scratched his head, "If that doesn't work, take Bijiang and confront Li Wanjiang for a while. Father and son are connected, and they will never admit their mistakes, right?"
"Then simply capture that Mu Ziqiu and send them to Li Wanjiang together. As long as one of them is his biological son, it will be your great contribution. Maybe Li Wanjiang will forgive you for your past sins and get back together with you. , maybe I can let you return to the palace as a eunuch again." Fatty said.
"Oh, what Fatty said really touched my heart..." Xiao Chen opened his arms to Fatty, "Come and give me a kiss!"
"Fuck you, didn't you hear that I was mocking you?" The fat man refused to hug him.
"Fat man, do you think I'm really short-sighted for thinking this way?" Xiao Chen never had enough confidence in his own whimsical idea, so he kept it in his heart and never told anyone.
