Chapter 1457: Internal Safety
When you are in high spirits, you are surrounded by friends. Just a word from you will attract people to help you. You will do what you can immediately and find ways to do what you cannot do.
When you are down and out, there are only villains around you. Not only will they not help you, but they will also step on you hard because this is the best way to distance themselves from you.
Anyone who doesn't take advantage of others' misfortunes can be considered a true friend.
As the calls grew louder and louder, the advantage of Western forces became one-sided, and even if Lei Zhen spoke out at this time, it would be of no use.
When public opinion reaches a certain level, people will listen to explanations.
All explanations are attempts to cover up the crime, and at this critical juncture, who would be willing to help Lei Zhen turn the tables?
Everyone will do the math, such as how much it will cost to help him turn the situation around, how much benefit can be obtained, what the risk-return ratio can be, etc.
Obviously, the risk-return ratio of helping Lei Zhen is very low. Even if you can get a ten-thousand-fold return after success, the chance of success is almost zero.
The incident spread quickly, causing Lei Zhen's empire to become unstable again.
If it continues like this, I don’t know when it will collapse.
Military power, capital power, business layout, etc., all became shaky with the Qin King's first rebellion, and even Hong Kong was in danger.
A series of reactions also occurred in the country. Whether in normal society or the family world, there was only one question to consider: Can Lei Zhen come back?
Being able to come back is one situation, not being able to come back is another.
For this purpose, several patriarchs met specifically to discuss this matter.
"No matter what problems arise, our Xiang family will do our best to rescue Lei Zhen!" Xiang Zhenhai said firmly and expressed his attitude first.
He was the most invested and chose to stand on the side when Lei Zhen and Old Man Jiang were fighting, and he took a clear stand.
In fact, he has another choice - stop loss in time.
But he had always stood on the right side, and now he was even more certain of his judgment, that is, he could not defeat Lei Zhen now, and at the very least he would be able to escape unscathed.
"The Jiang family has given everything they have!" said Old Master Jiang.
He did not hesitate at all. After all, everything he had now was given by Lei Zhen. Although there were many interests involved, more importantly, they had already been deeply bound.
If Lei Zhen fell, his daughter Jiang Nan would definitely be the first to suffer, and then their family would be affected.
So no matter from which perspective, you have to support Lei Zhen with your life, even if you die with him in the end, you must never change.
"Same as the Zhu family." Zhu Yuanhan said in a deep voice.
Their family is also tied to Lei Zhen. If they need to take the blame for the other party, the Zhu family will not hesitate.
This has little to do with loyalty, but it is a concrete manifestation of loyalty.
The emperor's personal guards would only die in battle and would never rebel. The reason was that once the emperor died, they would all be buried with him, including their entire family.
Your life and fortune are at stake, so you can't be disloyal.
"The Han family is the same. No matter what time it is, we will always stand at the forefront!" King Han followed suit.
"Our Lu family is the same. We will never take a step back..."
Lu Xiaoqi was very excited, but he was quite disappointed inside.
If any of them hesitated at all, he would not say this, because this was the best opportunity to bring down Lei Zhen. As long as he couldn't let the other party come back, it would basically be a success.
In fact, you can't blame him for having evil intentions. He was ruined in his previous trip out. Now he has to hold his breath even when he farts, otherwise the shit will come out.
He didn't know how he managed to bear the pressure of three Western strong men weighing more than 200 pounds.
"In that case, let's discuss the following matters..."
There is no problem in the family world. No one will choose to rebel because they cannot rebel and cannot afford to rebel, and no one can replace Lei Zhen's position.
As for the families below, there is no need to mention them. Most of them have died a long time ago and their vitality is almost gone. Even if they want to cause trouble, they can't do anything.
The prominent families in the mountains also knew about this and behaved more calmly.
"Lei Zhen is causing trouble, he must be causing trouble." Ying Xian said firmly, "Let's eat and drink as usual and ignore him."
"Brother Ying, what you said makes sense. I knew Lei Zhen did it on purpose the moment I saw it." Liu Yu laughed, "He's a very cunning man. He would never put himself in such a desperate situation, haha."
The two of them saw through it and didn't believe it at all.
The princess smiled, obviously agreeing with what the two of them said.
Ever since Lei Zhen entered the prestigious family, he has performed one miraculous move after another. It may seem inconsistent, but in fact they are closely linked.
"Each family will contribute money and personnel." Long Shu frowned and said, "Be prepared to enter the West at any time and complete all arrangements within three days."
A wife is a wife. A concubine is different from a wife who is married through formal marriage.
No one else cared, only she was full of worries.
"Dragon Emperor, Lei Zhen has not yet made any moves." Ying Xian said.
None of the winner's soldiers moved, at least the ones he knew about. As for those taken away by Lei Zhen, he didn't know, but it was definitely not time to move them yet.
Long Shu ignored him and turned to stare at the Meizu elder sitting below.
"Elder Xu, the Mei Clan will take all the poisons they can use and set off overnight. I will contact the Red Gate for support."
"Once you receive my order, immediately start the poisoning of the West. No river can be spared. Every sip of water they drink must be poisoned."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!"
“…”
A wife is different. Even though Long Shu and Lei Zhen lack emotional foundation, she doesn't even blink when faced with such things.
Nothing else, that’s my dear husband.
…
The fact that there is no internal damage is Lei Zhen’s greatest confidence.
If worst comes to worst, you can retreat. If all else fails, you can go into the mountains and live a simple life.
Precisely because he has the confidence, he dares to take risks, try the most difficult layout, and patiently wait for his empire to collapse until everyone makes the final choice.
"Wife, let me test your professional skills to see if you're not stupid for three years after pregnancy." Lei Zhen hugged Little Red Fish and said with a smile, "You're best at deduction, so are you my next step?"
The best time to turn around has passed, which is very different from Xiao Hongyu's deduction, because the original deduction was a week ago.
At that time, the situation had not yet become completely one-sided. As long as Lei Zhen revealed what the laboratory was researching, the situation could be reversed immediately.
Although there are still many people who have doubts in that situation, those who choose to believe will become absolute die-hard believers, and will choose to stand on the side unconditionally no matter what happens in the future.
Keyboard warriors don't deserve any attention. They are typical fence-sitters. Lei Zhen has never thought about getting their support.
