Chapter 382 Qiao Tianqing
"Third Prince, if you want to accomplish great things, you have to get rid of the Xu family!"
Even though Liang Zhongling was jealous of the Xu family because of his grandson's affairs, he was still a veteran of the current dynasty and knew from which angle to persuade the third prince.
"The eldest prince is now powerful and will soon be sent to Longnan to subdue the rebels. If he succeeds, the Queen Mother and Duke Xu will not miss this opportunity and will petition His Majesty to appoint a crown prince!"
The Third Prince had a gloomy expression. He had been anxious about this matter for the past few days. Even though his father loved him, his health was always a major weakness.
"The only solution now is to start with the Xu family and weaken the eldest prince's strength. Only then will we have room for maneuver!"
Liang Zhongling was sincere. Even though he wanted to take revenge, he also considered the overall situation and wanted to persuade the third prince not to wait any longer.
As long as the third prince is willing to marry General Qiao's daughter, his strength in the army will be greatly increased, and he will no longer have to worry about the Xu family.
General Qiao is now the commander-in-chief of Longnan, and is in charge of a large number of Luo's troops. Those people are extremely jealous of the Xu family.
At this time, Liang Zhongling still believed that the Luo family army was kept in the dark and his side was still safe.
But ever since Jiang Feng was sent to the capital by Luo Tingshan, he has been looking for evidence of the Liang family and the third prince's original action, and he has already contacted the remaining forces of the Luo family. As long as the Liang family dares to move, he will definitely make a big move!
The Third Prince's brows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Then let's follow Liang Zhongling's opinion?"
Seeing that the Third Prince had finally relented, Liang Zhongling's tense expression flickered into a smile: "Third Prince, then wait for good news from this old man!"
…
"Commander Jiang, General Qiao is coming to the capital!"
The subordinate said to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng frowned: "What is he doing here?"
I didn’t hear the master say that he would summon Lao Qiao over, so what was the purpose?
"This is a letter from General Qiao to the commander!" The subordinate presented it and then withdrew.
Jiang Cheng opened the letter, his expression was puzzled at first, and then he laughed sarcastically.
It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!
General Qiao is the master's right-hand man. If General Qiao had not been suddenly recalled to the capital during the siege of Yue State, he would have discovered something was wrong and brought troops to provide assistance in time!
Now the Liang family has set their sights on General Qiao's daughter. Jiang Cheng feels that something interesting is about to happen.
You know, that Qiao family girl, tsk...
Sometimes even the master can’t stand it!
Three days later.
Jiang Cheng's residence.
At night, General Qiao came alone.
"Good boy, I finally see you!" General Qiao has a full beard and surprisingly small eyes, but his whole body exudes a powerful and imposing aura.
Jiang Cheng was also very happy to see General Qiao. He stepped forward and punched him on the shoulder: "I haven't seen you for a year. How come you look so much older!"
General Qiao rolled his eyes at him. "Who allowed him to leave with the general alone? I was led to believe...Okay, enough of this. As long as the general is safe, I, Old Qiao, will spare Liang's life!"
Jiang Cheng sat beside him and handed him a cup of tea: "So, your coming to Beijing this time was really ordered by the emperor?"
At this point, General Qiao felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"What kind of a person is this Third Prince? How dare he covet my daughter? This time, I will definitely make him retreat!"
Jiang Cheng thought of the unscrupulous tactics of the Third Prince and the Liang family, and warned: "Be careful in everything, and it's best not to have a direct conflict."
But he didn't expect that just after he gave the instructions, the next day after the court session ended, General Qiao was stopped by someone behind him on his way out of the palace.
I turned around and saw that he was unfamiliar!
Turn around and leave.
Song Chao, the Minister of War, frowned and walked over in two or three steps: "General Qiao, I called you twice!"
General Qiao knew that Song Chao was the Third Prince's man. What could be his purpose in calling him now?
"I'm not familiar with it, I don't have time!"
Song Chao's eyes darkened, but he still smiled and said, "We'll have a banquet at Zuifeng Tower tonight to welcome you. You must come."
General Qiao didn't want to agree at first, but when he thought about what Jiang Cheng said last night, he became interested again.
He responded with a smile: "Okay, as long as Master Song doesn't regret it!"
Song Chao was immediately satisfied and pretended not to have heard the rest of the words. At least he had given an explanation to the Third Prince.
That night.
Zuifeng Tower was bustling with activity. The singing girls' voices were melodious and the men's laughter could be heard all over the street.
General Qiao got off the carriage with a gloomy face.
Song Chao had already sent people to wait outside. When he heard that General Qiao had arrived, he went downstairs to greet him in person.
Looking at his expression, he thought he didn't want to come here. Song Chao snorted in his heart, why was he pretending to be so noble? Now that he has no backing, he is at the mercy of others!
You and I are both fish on this table. It all depends on whether you are smart and can choose a good master.
Song Chao stepped forward with a smile: "General Qiao, now that you are here, don't be so rude. Let's go, an important person is coming tonight!"
General Qiao did not move, but looked at the carriage with a serious expression.
Song Chao was puzzled and looked up, only to see the curtain of the carriage lifted and a slender hand reaching out.
Tsk, they’ve come to Zuifeng Tower, and brought a woman with them. Didn’t people say that there was a tigress in General Qiao’s family?
But before he could ask, the woman in the carriage jumped off very quickly, took two steps forward, and left them with her back.
"So this is the famous Zuifeng Tower. I can finally see its true face!" Qiao Tianqing crossed her arms over her chest, with a high ponytail on her head and a long sword on her waist.
Especially this red and white robe, which was clean and neat, without any jewelry on his body.
If you don’t know, you might think she is here to cause trouble or provoke.
But General Qiao knew that his daughter came here just to watch the fun.
Ever since she heard that the Third Prince wanted to marry her, the girl had been cursing in the mansion all day long, saying things like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, and that he didn't even realize how old he was, yet he wanted to marry a fifteen-year-old girl like her.
Knowing that he was coming to Beijing, he insisted on coming along, saying that he would make the Third Prince give up.
Well, if I don’t bring her here tonight and she comes here by herself, who knows what will happen.
Song Chao frowned and asked in a low voice: "General Qiao, what is this?"
Without waiting for General Qiao to reply, Qiao Tianqing turned around, looking him up and down with her bright eyes, and her words went straight to the point:
"You're not very tall. And your hair is thin. Could it be that you're the Uncle Song that Dad was talking about?"
She was polite and bowed quite nicely, but listen to what she said before?
Song Chao's face darkened. Is this General Qiao's only daughter?
She has absolutely no manners whatsoever, how can she be the consort of the Third Prince!
"Don't blame me, Minister Song. My daughter has been spoiled. Please don't take her words to heart!" General Qiao laughed.
Qiao Tianqing stepped forward and rolled his eyes casually: "Dad, what are you talking about? Is Uncle Song such a stingy person? Right?"
She even winked at Minister Song in a familiar manner.
Song Chao was so angry that his blood boiled and his vision went dark!
Savage woman!
She is indeed a girl who grew up in the frontier, without any of the gracefulness and elegance of a woman!
