Pang You sneered: "Those high-ranking families in the capital are always thinking about these foods. The Qiao family is getting stronger and stronger, but they are not on guard at all. They are even afraid that if they deal with the Qiao family, they will never be able to eat them again. I suspect that Master Qiao and Master Qiao also have the same idea."
“I’ve observed that Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao’s family often send purchasing agents to their home to buy loads of things, and they eat them with great relish.”
“Father, you went to Uncle Qiao’s and Uncle Qiao’s houses to send a visiting card, but they ignored you. Firstly, they don’t want to cause trouble, and secondly, they’re just after your mouth and your appetite.”
"So that's how it is." Pang Da cursed, "What a lack of ambition! For a bite to eat, they don't even bother to settle scores with the enemy who killed their own brother's family. What's the difference between them and pigs and dogs who only know how to eat?
Then came another round of sarcasm: "Son, look at these pigs and dogs. Only my son and I are the real nobles because only we are not obsessed with eating and drinking. We only have important things on our minds. They are just lucky because of the protection of their ancestors."
Pang You deeply agreed, believing that to accomplish great things, one must have a calm and composed mind, unswayed by any external influences.
These noble families, just because Qiao Lian'er can provide delicious food, are willing to watch the Qiao family grow stronger and stronger. They should all be wiped out as soon as possible to make room for them.
The father and son found a noodle shop and sat down. The aroma of coconut chicken kept wafting in from outside, making the noodles in their hands seem tasteless.
While they were grumbling about Qiao Lian'er in their hearts, they quickly finished their meal and went to find a teahouse.
“Son, what do you think we should do next? Uncle Qiao and Second Uncle Qiao refuse to help us, and Deputy General He doesn’t want to get involved either. We’re left to fight alone. How can we contend with the Qiao family?”
“Father’s original idea was excellent. If an army is branded as a traitor, all its generals, commanders, and their families will be beheaded. It’s a win-win situation,” Pang You said. “However, Father has a very important problem now.”
Ponta waited for him to continue.
“That’s because Father’s position is too lowly, and he can’t play a significant role.” Pang You’s tone seemed to convey a sense of disappointment and frustration.
In the capital, powerful fathers are everywhere, and someone like Pang Da is completely insignificant.
"You're lucky to have this position. Do you think it's so easy to climb up in the capital?" Pang Da felt his pride was hurt and snorted. Would he not know how to pick up money if it were available?
Pang You said in a cold, low voice, "Father, are you stupid? Vice General He went against your wishes. If you took his place, why would you need to wait for his opinion?"
Pang Da's expression shifted. He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"
Pang You raised an eyebrow: "Father, you know the answer in your heart, so don't ask me."
"There are 300,000 troops in the capital. Of these, 140,000 are directly commanded by General Lin, and 160,000 are under the command of each deputy general. If Father becomes one of the deputy generals, he will have 40,000 soldiers under his command. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to take down the Qiao family army?"
"If we join forces with a deputy general, we will be invincible and no one can stop us."
Pang Da fell into thought. He and Deputy General Zheng didn't get along. There were two other deputy generals, Deputy General Chen and Deputy General Lu. Deputy General Lu didn't like to socialize with people, was unyielding, and wouldn't consider them. So there was Deputy General Chen.
If he wants to cooperate, he must first become a deputy general.
Deputy General He trusts him and is unguarded around him, but if he kills someone directly, he will not be able to take over his position.
He must first establish his authority in the army and make Deputy General He's subordinates obey him. Once Deputy General He is gone, he will be supported, and everything will fall into place naturally.
It will still take some time, so let's just let the guy surnamed He live a little longer, as it's his way of repaying his mentorship.
Having made up his mind, Pang You picked up his teacup, took a big gulp, and burst into hearty laughter.
