Chapter 201 Fear
Chen Chi and Chen Suo are rare geniuses in the Chen family.
When Chen Chi was eight years old, he was able to replicate things exactly like his father.
Even Old Man Chen was very proud.
Extreme intelligence can be harmful; the people the Chen family comes into contact with are all extremely dangerous.
Therefore, Old Man Chen never let his brother and sister work for him.
Therefore, among all the people in the state of Jin, only Chen Chi could create such a convincing forgery.
Most importantly, Chen Chi had seen real amulets.
The hidden characters on the talisman were a little trick that Chen Chi and his sister taught her.
Used to pass on secrets in times of crisis.
The method was created by Chen Chi.
So Chen Chi didn't hide; he was captured by the Yang family.
Three hundred li away from Guanzhong lies the border of the State of Jin.
There is a small country outside the border called the Kingdom of Wind Chaser.
That place is famous for its fine horses, and the people there are all skilled horse trainers.
Most of the horses in the State of Jin were purchased from the State of Fengchi.
Any country with vast territory and sparse population is extremely unprofitable to attack.
Therefore, the State of Jin always regarded Fengchi as a natural horse training ground.
The Yang family of Hongnong had been based in Guanzhong for generations.
If they wanted to make a deal with Fengchi Kingdom, it would be incredibly easy.
Warhorses are an indispensable part of military force.
There was another crucial reason why the Yang family wanted to reclaim the Qin family's military power.
The Yang family has produced generals.
In the early days of the warring states, the Jin emperor used his iron-fisted methods to carve out a path to becoming emperor.
In addition to the support of the Du family, the Yang family's army also contributed some efforts.
However, the Zhenbei Army won a great victory in terms of popular support, and the world only recognized the Zhenbei Army.
No one would acknowledge the Yang family generals.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, he appointed Consort Xian's father as the Chief Privy Councilor.
However, since military power remained in Qin Ye's hands, the Yang family's position as Privy Councilor became a joke.
With Qin Ye's military power seized, the Privy Council, now the rightful authority to control the military, took over.
The Qin family's achievements are too great. As long as they do not rebel, Qin Ye and Qin Jinzhi will have no fear of death.
Of the Qin family members who died for the state of Jin, only this grandfather and grandson remained, so no one would believe they were plotting a rebellion.
Therefore, this grand conspiracy was solely for the Qin family's military power.
Sexual gossip is something that ordinary people love to discuss during their leisure time.
Her elopement and murder of her lover drew all the attention of the people in the capital to her.
Then, this so-called lover revealed that the Qin family was manufacturing counterfeit currency.
Using moles within the military to pass messages.
The clues to the Chen family tragedy ten years ago were deliberately released by the Yang family.
The Yang family must have found out that Chen Chi and his sister worked for her.
They deliberately lured Chen Chi to Guanzhong.
Chen Chi was used to kick off this grand drama.
This mother and son are quite cunning.
Consort Yang was the least noticeable of the four consorts.
She couldn't compare to Consort Shen in looks, nor to Consort De in talent, and her family's influence couldn't match that of Consort Shu.
However, she was the one in the harem who had the most children.
Besides the sixth prince Xiao Cheng, the twelfth prince Xiao Ce, and the twenty-first prince Xiao Lin who is only ten years old, there is also the fifth princess who is already married, and the tenth princess who is currently in the process of being betrothed.
Now that the crown prince is incompetent, several princes have already entered the fray to vie for the position.
The Yang family also started to make their move.
Qin Jinzhi guessed that if it weren't for the matter of the Ming King, the Yang family might not have made a move so quickly.
The Yang family could tolerate a spoiled brat who held great power, but the struggle with the Ming Prince instilled fear in them.
With such a clever young master of the Qin family, even if the crown prince is incompetent, with the support of the Qin family, the crown prince can still ascend to that position.
Therefore, the Yang family is now eager to obtain military power.
If the Yang family's actions were aimed at the lives of the grandfather and grandson.
This game is destined to be lost.
However, what they wanted from the beginning was the Qin family's military power.
If we're not careful, the Yang family might actually succeed.
If she's going to occupy Guanzhong, then she'll create some chaos there.
When Xiao Zhen saw Qin Jinzhi at the private residence, her eyes widened instantly.
How did you find out about this place?!
Qin Jinzhi laughed at Xiao Zhen's flustered appearance, "Next time you bring people, remember to shake off your tail."
Xiao Zhen unconsciously took a step back as she looked at Qin Jinzhi's smile.
"I have brought my second brother's troops to the capital as you instructed. My second brother is now dead, and you said we owe each other nothing!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled even more sincerely, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to do business with you."
Xiao Zhen shivered and took another step back.
Doing business again!
Does he look like a complete idiot?
Qin Jinzhi crossed her legs and pointed to the chair next to her.
"Don't be shy, have a seat."
Xiao Zhen stared intently at Qin Jinzhi for a while before slowly sitting down in the chair.
What do you want from me?
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "People have started to notice the bandits you've been keeping in the village. Have you thought about how to deal with them?"
Xiao Zhen was very nervous. "What do you want to do?"
Qin Jinzhi waved one hand playfully.
"If I wanted to kill you, I would simply not give you the antidote when you return with your troops."
Xiao Zhen was on edge.
They were afraid that they might fall into Qin Jinzhi's trap if they weren't careful.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Horse bandits, horse bandits, how can we get by without horses? I know a place with lots of fine steeds. Go and steal some and bring them back."
Xiao Zhen looked at Qin Jinzhi in disbelief. "You told them to steal the horses?"
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "That's right. Without a good steed, you bandits have no fighting ability whatsoever."
Xiao Zhen couldn't believe that Qin Jinzhi was so kind.
He hesitated for a moment, "Where?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled slightly, "Guanzhong."
Xiao Zhen suddenly stood up. "Guanzhong? Aren't you sending my men to their deaths?"
Guanzhong is the territory of the Yang family, and the Yang family has its own army to guard it.
How could the men he raised possibly be a match for a regular army?
Qin Jinzhi said quite naturally, "Yes, we're sending them to their deaths, what's the problem?"
Xiao Zhen turned around to see if there were any handy weapons.
If that doesn't work, he'll fight Qin Jinzhi to the death!
Is she speaking human language?
Qin Jinzhi leaned back in her chair, propping her face up with one hand.
"Send your men to Guanzhong. After the mission is accomplished, I will have my grandfather bestow upon you the title of king and send you to your fiefdom."
Xiao Zhen was taken aback, not expecting Qin Jinzhi's condition to be like this.
But being crowned a king meant he was no longer destined for that position.
He's endured so much for so many years, is he just going to give up like this?
Qin Jinzhi looked at him and curled one corner of her mouth. "Are you still thinking of fighting for yourself? The worst thing about people is not recognizing their own worth. Are you sure you can stay in the capital and fight me? Do you think you can still live?"
Xiao Zhen seemed to have been completely woken up by a bucket of cold water.
The Qin family is destined to support the crown prince.
Whoever competes with the Crown Prince will become Qin Jinzhi's enemy.
People like my second brother, and families like his, all died without a complete corpse.
How could he possibly defeat Qin Jinzhi!
Xiao Zhen looked at Qin Jinzhi and asked, "What would constitute a successful outcome?"
Qin Jinzhi looked into his eyes, but her beautiful mouth uttered the most cutting words.
"Everyone in Guanzhong died."
Xiao Zhen suddenly grabbed the armrest of the chair.
To exchange thousands of lives for one chance to live.
Qin Jinzhi is truly ruthless!
