Chapter 139: To support and Lin Chujiu is also someone who has a backing
Meng s.h.i.+ fully mocks himself. However, it can be said that heâs not entirely wrong, but⦠â¦
âEven if we understand the emperorâs intention now, the imperial edict has already been given to us. Eldest brother might not be willing, but he cannot refuse.â Meng Erye said with a heavy heart.
Meng Sanye also doesnât know what to do, so he sadly looks at Meng Laofuren and said: âMother, what are we going to do now?â
What to do?
Meng Laofuren bitterly smiles, then said: âThis matter is related to Xiao w.a.n.gye. So, letâs hear first what Xiao w.a.n.gye will say.â
âWe will contact Xiao w.a.n.gye? Is that okay? Wonât the emperor feel unhappy if we do that?â The emperor canât blame Meng Laofuren to do this, after all⦠â¦
Heâs the one who ties her family to Xiao w.a.n.gyeâs bad luck.
âWho knows what tomorrow will bring. I donât believe that Xiao w.a.n.gye will be unlucky all his life.â Meng Laofuren doesnât think that Xiao w.a.n.gye will be silent regarding in this matter.
After all, the timing of the northern countryâs attack is too clever. And to say that Xiao w.a.n.gye has nothing to do with this, Meng Laofuren wonât believe it.
However, Meng s.h.i.+ immediately disagree: âXiao w.a.n.gye can turn over this event? He might be a great general, but his legs are wasted. So, how he will turn this event?â
âAs long as there is a war, a general can think of any possible way to come back. So, donât look down on Xiao w.a.n.gye.â Meng Laofuren vaguely said. And as for whether her three sons can finally understand it, Meng Laofuren no longer cares.
By virtue, their familyâs connection to Xiao w.a.n.gye will not fall, as long as he wonât get into a tragic accident.
âMother, what you said is not wrong, but Xiao w.a.n.gyeâs legs are now totally useless.â Itâs not that Meng s.h.i.+ doesnât want to believe in his motherâs words. Itâs just, he needs to believe in the fact that is in front of him.
âI donât believe that Xiao w.a.n.gye wonât be able to stand all his life.â Meng Laofuren is still very confident with Xiao w.a.n.gye.
After all, if she wonât have confidence in him, her granddaughter would be very pitiful.
Meng Laofuren saw that Meng s.h.i.+ still not convinced, so she no longer waits to hear his word and just said: âI will decide things regarding in this matter. I donât want you to go out in the upcoming days.â
âThis son will obey.â Although they are still puzzled. The three of them wink and agreed to just leave. After all, they have long been accustomed to their mother giving orders. And the tiredness is already visible on their motherâs face.
However, as soon as the three of them went away, Meng Laofuren recover her energy instantly and said: âSomeone come, bring me a pen and a paper.â
Meng Laofuren personally wrote a letter to Xiao Tianyao. She wrote how Guo Gongfu feels towards this matter. And she wrote that they will fully cooperate in this matter no matter what he says.
*
Xiao Tianyao and Su Cha were discussing their countermeasure in this event when they received Meng Laofurenâs letter. But while reading the letter, Xiao Tianyaoâs face become gentle a few times.
This old lady truly cares about Lin Chujiu. And to prove that, she is willing to do anything for her.
To have such a caring grandmother, it can be said that Lin Chujiu is very lucky!
âYou also have to take a look.â After reading, Xiao Tianyao readily pa.s.ses the letter to Liu Bai.
Su Cha and Liu Bai both read the letter. But after reading the letter, they stayed silent for a long time.
After all, they are aware that Xiao Tianyao didnât let them read the letter to learn the content. But, to let them know that there was a big Buddha that is protecting Lin Chujiu from behind. So, they shouldnât underestimate her.
However, this is also Xiao Tianyaoâs intention.
A moment later, Su Cha said with a smile: âw.a.n.gfeiâs maternal family is willing to help, we can save a lot of effort with this.â Su Cha didnât say Guo Gongfu. He also didnât say Meng Family. Rather, he said Lin Chujiuâs maternal family, which shows Su Cha didnât consider himself an outsider and just stick in his position.
âNo, benw.a.n.g will not let Meng Family lead the army.â Meng Familyâs willingness to help is a good thing, but Xiao Tianyao doesnât want them to get involved in this war.
Liu Bai got puzzled, so he ask: âIs there someone else good than Meng Family?â Meng Family is willing to cooperate, with that, they will be able to minimize their loss.
âNone, but Meng Family can not.â In order to support Lin Chujiu, Meng Laofuren sacrifices the reputation and interest of Meng Family. He appreciates this old ladyâs decisiveness, but it doesnât mean that he will accept it.
Liu Bai immediately understands the meaning of Xiao Tianyaoâs words, so he depressingly said: âw.a.n.gye, you shouldnât decide this matter base on your private interest. â
Xiao Tianyaoâs cold eyes immediately swept past Liu Bai: âBai, are you doubting benw.a.n.gâs decision?â
âI, I donât dare.â Liu Bai said that he doesnât dare, but his pair of eyes shows that he is unconvinced. Xiao Tianyao no longer bother to look at Liu Bai. Instead, he look at Su Cha: âYou? Do you also think the same as Liu Bai? Do you also think benw.a.n.gâs decision is base on private interest?â
âNo,â Su Cha shook his head without any hesitation: âw.a.n.gye canât decide base on his private interest. That is because, w.a.n.gfeiâs maternal family is only willing to help w.a.n.gye because of w.a.n.gfei. And if w.a.n.gfei is not here, they wouldnât invest any help to w.a.n.gye.â
Meng Familyâs wealth is already over the top of the sky. They no longer need to come forward in the war to earn more richness. They no longer need to partic.i.p.ate in power struggles of the royal family. Because no matter who sits in the throne, Meng Family doesnât need more cash.
Liu Bai didnât agree: âWithout w.a.n.gye, itâs impossible for a member of Meng Family to be appointed as a general by the emperor.â
âAnd do you think that is a good thing for Meng Family? Do you think Meng Familyâs eldest son is willing to be a general?â Su Cha doesnât understand how Liu Baiâs brain functions to say such a blunt idea.
To put it bluntly, his action is called a demonstration of loyalty and courage. But, too bad he is silly and stupid.
Liu Bai doesnât believe in Su Chaâs words. He still believe that Meng Family is so cheap to think like that: âIf not because of w.a.n.gye, the emperor wouldnât even remember their name. And most likely to use them.â
Su Cha almost gone crazy, âDo you know what kind of man is the eldest son of Meng Family? In the capital, who doesnât know that he is not a martial artist and nothing but a rich man? He has no ambition, nor ability to be part of military. But the emperor appointed him as a general? And not only that, the emperor even put w.a.n.gyeâs soldiers and horses in his hands.â
âI know that.â Liu Bai said in a cool manner: âIâm not a fool, so how canât I see that.â
âSince you know that, you donât have any right to think that Meng Family is cheap and just took advantage of w.a.n.gye.â Su Cha felt like he was being played.
What Su Cha said is not wrong, but Liu Bai still insist his thought: âThe emperor appointed him as a general and ask to lead w.a.n.gyeâs soldiers. As long as he win this war, he will get fame and fortune. If that is not what you call cheap, then what is it?â
âThat is not wrong.â Su Cha immediately replied: âBut, itâs impossible for Young Master Meng to have such strength and defeat the Northern Countryâs army.â
âThat is his own problem. Who can blame his own incompetence?â Liu Bai coldly said with a hum. This time, Su Cha no longer argues, because⦠â¦
What Liu Bai said makes sense.
If Meng s.h.i.+ has the ability, he can take this opportunity to get fame. But the reality is harsh because he has no such skills!
Su Cha realized that he shouldnât have wasted time to debate with Liu Bai. So, he immediately change the topic and said: âw.a.n.gye, if the appointed general is not from our own people, our 300 000 soldiers will be in danger.â
No matter who leads the army, regardless of purpose, Xiao Tianyaoâs 300 000 soldiers will definitely be used in the front line, because⦠â¦
