"Moreover... I am the Right Prime Minister's student. This time, my cousin Li Lu escorted my junior brother back, and our teacher even received both of us brothers at the same time. That shows how much he values me, so of course I should stand with the Right Prime Minister's residence!"
Zhao Cheng patted Li Dai's arm and said, "Senior brother, you have a true character, a real man, I admire you!"
"You flatter me," Li Dai smiled and said, "But I'm curious, why didn't any members of the Xue family come?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Fugui said, "It must be that General Wang is trying to avoid suspicion by putting righteousness before family ties."
Li Dai frowned and said, "But the timing doesn't match up. General Wang is far away in the three counties of Xinbei. He probably doesn't know what happened in Yanchuan yet. How could he send a message to the Xue family?"
Deng Fugui frowned and said, "That's strange."
“It’s not hard to guess.” Lian Zhongyi stroked his beard and said, “When Xue Gai took over the Yan Chuan General’s Mansion, his sister Xue Yun must have given him some instructions on who not to mess with and who not to go against. If Xue Gai is a smart man, he will keep Xue Yun’s words in mind.”
"Perhaps, among those people we shouldn't mess with are some of you here?" Lian Zhongyi said, but his gaze fell on Zhao Cheng's face, and he smiled slightly.
Deng Fugui nodded and said, "Mr. Lian is right."
After the matter was over, Zhao Cheng greeted Lu Zhao again, and then Lian Zhongyi and the guards returned to the Right Prime Minister's residence together.
Upon returning home, Zhao Cheng was summoned before Zhao Huan and Mu Zhaojun.
Furthermore, Lu Zhao and his three younger brothers were all present, making the occasion appear extremely solemn.
After several days of discussions, a result was finally achieved.
