"It seems that you are very confident and feel that everything is under your control?"
Looking at Ye Mingsheng, Cui Shao asked lightly:
Regarding Cui Shao's speech, Ye Mingsheng was a little noncommittal. He knew that Cui Shao must have something to say waiting for him. Sure enough, before waiting for Ye Mingsheng's answer, Cui Shao continued:
"Ye Mingsheng, you are indeed a talent. You are good at playing with power, trying to figure out other people's thoughts, and your methods are very bold. But you made the biggest mistake, that is, you were too bold, so much so that you risked your life!"
"All you have done is nothing more than trying to sow discord between my Cui family and the governor so that you can complete the order given to you by Chen Dechang."
"You did a good job in this, and you really succeeded!"
"But the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. Have you ever thought about what I will do next?"
Hearing what Cui Shao said, the expression on Ye Mingsheng's face gradually calmed down. He began to realize that he seemed to have overestimated Cui Shao, his "third uncle"!
"Now that you have got rid of Mr. Wang's stick, the Governor has become suspicious of the Cui family. What do you think I will hand you over to the Governor?" Cui Shao said slowly:
Ye Mingsheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "You won't do this!"
"Oh? Do you think Chen Dechang will break up with the Cui family for you?" Cui Shao smiled and said:
"No!
"In his eyes, I'm just a pawn. He won't fight to the death for me and the Cui family."
Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said. At the end of his speech, he changed his voice, met Cui Shao's eyes, and said solemnly.
"But I have 7,000 people in Erlang Mountain, but the garrison of Guangning Prefecture only has 5,000 people, and some of them are scattered in surrounding towns..."
Although what Ye Mingsheng said was very cryptic, Cui Shao immediately understood the meaning of Ye Mingsheng's words, with a cold look on his face, and said coldly:
"No one has dared to talk to me like this in many years. Young people, please don't be too arrogant!"
"You're still called a young man if you're not full of energy?
"I have seven thousand men and horses under my command, and they are all willing to serve me, Ye Mingsheng, to the death!"
"If Mr. Cui wants to take a gamble, Ye will do it!" Ye Mingsheng said with firm eyes and without hesitation:
As soon as these words came out of the eyes of Ye Mingsheng and Cui Shao, sparks flew in the air, and they started to fight. After a while, Cui Shao picked up the tea cup and slammed it on the table.
"boom!"
Ye Mingsheng, who was "served with tea", stood up immediately and walked out of Cui Shao's study without any hesitation.
Watching Ye Mingsheng's figure gradually go away, Cui Shao suddenly said without any warning:
"What do you think of Ye Mingsheng?"
As soon as Cui Shao said these words, a secret door opened in the study, and a young woman wearing a black veil came out. Although the woman covered her face with a veil, she could vaguely see through the black veil. The girl's charming appearance and her beautiful eyes that fascinate all living beings...
This girl is none other than An Miaoyi, the niece of An Zhirong, the financial backer behind Ye Mingsheng, and the youngest daughter of An Hetu, the head of the An family!
"Very bold and very skillful, worthy of the eagle's eye and the wolf's care!"
An Miaoyi's voice was very soft, but her words were full of praise for Ye Mingsheng!
After Cui Shao heard this, he was silent for a while and then said with emotion:
"At first, I only thought that Xiaoyun's son came here just to ask the Cui family to help him recruit soldiers. Later, when I learned that he was sending troops to Erlang Mountain, I realized that he wanted to sow discord between the Cui family and Song Wenhui. !”
"But it wasn't until just now that I figured out the true meaning of what Ye Mingsheng did!"
"He is showing his strength to the Cui family!" An Miaoyi said softly:
"That's right, he is not here on behalf of the Zhenwu Army, he is here on behalf of himself! His ambition is indeed big enough. He has less than ten thousand troops, and he wants to stir up the storm and let us The Cui family supports him!" Cui Shao shook his head and sighed:
"Ye Mingsheng's father, the little military leader, I took a look at back then. He was just a brave man. How could he give birth to a son like Ye Mingsheng?"
An Miaoyi's eyes were filled with beautiful waves, and she continued:
"My uncle promised to help Ye Mingsheng recruit 10,000 troops from the beginning, but Ye Mingsheng never asked him. He was just preventing my uncle from taking the opportunity to add sand to his men."
"So he probably never thought at the beginning that when seeking help from the Cui family, his goal should be Wang Laogangzhi's 3,000 people. With those 3,000 people, he would have just enough 10,000 people to complete the task. The task given to him by Chen Dechang."
Looking at An Miaoyi, Cui Shao pondered for a moment and said:
"Miaoyi, what do you think of An Zhirong's proposal?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Bao Si reincarnated and brought disaster to the country and the people. It seems that I will have to bear this reputation for the rest of my life..." An Miaoyi said helplessly with some resentment:
"I don't know which beast arranged so much for you Miaoyi, so that you can behave like a girl and suffer so much humiliation out of thin air!" Cui Shao shook his head and said:
"I have troubled my uncle all these years to help me find a good family, but Miaoyi's own fate is not good..." An Miaoyi said quietly:
"Those are all trivial matters. I really didn't expect that this bastard An Zhirong was really impatient. In order to get you married as soon as possible, he actually thought of letting you marry a child from a poor family!" Cui Shao angrily shouted:
"He found out that I bought his concubine. This uncle of mine is really petty-minded..."
"I have already decided, if he forces me again, I will pick Ye Mingsheng!" A cunning look flashed in An Miaoyi's eyes.
Cui Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then warned him very seriously:
"Miaoyi, you can't mess around with this important matter in life. People like him, Ye Mingsheng, who look down on others are mostly ruthless people. He backstabbed Xu Zhaojie in the palace, and now he wants to betray Chen Dechang. I thought to myself If one side is fighting against the world under a separate regime, it shows what kind of moral character it has!"
"This kind of heroic figure will either reach the top and create a great cause, or he will be defeated and killed, and his body will die and his career will be wiped out. There is no third option!"
"This son is definitely not a good match!"
"Uncle, I am not acting out of emotion. I have been observing Ye Mingsheng for a long time..." An Miaoyi said calmly:
"I started to notice Ye Mingsheng from the time Shen Jianzhong recommended him to my uncle."
"In the beginning, because my uncle wanted to reuse Ye Mingsheng, I followed his every move. When I was in Luo'an, many times I hid in the dark and quietly observed him."
"It can be said that I watched him step by step, siding with Chen Dechang, recruiting He Jingyun, and plotting against Xu Zhaojie!"
