Chapter 384: Thoughts of All Parties
"Brother Ruyu, I heard that Zhao Xiaokun has transferred troops south. Do you have any countermeasures?" Yang Tianhe asked.
"I'm afraid someone may have heard what I said to you. The situation is not favorable for us now. You should go to Nanjing first!" said Ni Yuanlu.
Yang Tianhe knew that if Zhao Xiaokun knew Ni Yuanlu's intentions, he would definitely not let him go. Even if he was the one who persuaded Ni Yuanlu, it would still be the same. Because he was promoted by Ni Yuanlu, he was branded with the mark of Ni's party.
Now he wants me to go to Nanjing because he wants me to go to Nanjing to carry out his plan.
"What about the Lord? Aren't you leaving?" Yang Tianhe asked.
"Why should I leave? I will fight these traitors to the end in the capital!" said Ni Yuanlu.
"Sir! You can't make a fearless sacrifice. Why don't we go together?" Yang Tianhe said.
"I should have sacrificed my life for my country during the Jiashen Rebellion. It's all earned that I'm alive today. Why should I be afraid of death? Go away!" Ni Yuanlu looked at Yang Tianhe with a commanding look.
Yang Tianhe had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. However, he did not listen to Ni Yuanlu and did not go home to pack up and run away. Instead, he went to the Fengtai camp, found Huang Degong and Gao Jie, and told them about the incident.
Huang Degong said, "This is ridiculous. What is the Zhao family trying to do? Can supporting a female emperor bring them any honor?"
"I wonder if Duke Jingguo should send troops to stop them?" Yang Tianhe said.
"Do you think we can withstand the encirclement of the Kenan Army and the Guanning Army?" Huang Degong asked.
"What should we do? We can't just watch them launch a mutiny and wait to be killed, right?" Yang Tianhe said anxiously.
"How could I let them do whatever they want? Lao Gao, what do you think? You are the only one who has a free hand now. Why don't you move the troops to the north?" Huang Degong asked Gao Jie.
Gao Jie remained silent, hoping to avoid helping either side. Now that the question had come to him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Gentlemen, I think we should not scare ourselves. This plan to send Wu Sangui south to Dengzhou was already decided long ago. Zhao Xiaokun even filed a case with the Ministry of War. They have a strong case and are acting in the name of justice. How can I resist? Please teach me."
Huang Degong and Yang Tianhe looked at Gao Jie coldly, and said in their hearts at the same time: Slippery!
"Don't look at me like that, you two. I'm just a warrior. National affairs are handled by the officials in the court. If it really requires me to go through fire and water, I will definitely not retreat. But they haven't made a move yet, but we were scared and took action first. Wouldn't it make people think that we are guilty?" Gao Jie said.
Gao Jie's words left everyone speechless. "Yeah! They haven't done anything yet, yet they're so eager to take action. Doesn't this mean they're guilty?"
In modern society, Zhao Xiaofei took his son Qiji and went to Hangzhou with Jiang Xiaomei and Jiang Di.
At the foot of the Leifeng Pagoda at the Jingci Temple in Hangzhou, Zhao Xiaofei held his son Qiji and said, "So this is what the Leifeng Pagoda looks like. It's completely different from what we see in TV dramas!"
Jiang Xiaomei said, "We were all deceived by the White Snake legend when we were young! But the Leifeng Pagoda is much more beautiful than the one in the TV series."
"Really? I think these pagodas are all similar, and the temples here are all similar too." Jiang Di said.
"You! Go back and read the new Legend of White Snake carefully before chatting with us." Zhao Xiaofei rolled his eyes at him and said.
"Dad, what is the Legend of the New White Snake?" asked his son Qiji.
"Can you watch it with your Uncle Jiang later? It's on the tablet. You can watch it with Uncle Jiang in the evening." Zhao Xiaofei said.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Di took Qiqi to watch TV, while Zhao Xiaofei and Jiang Xiaomei went to Zhongshan Road Food Street.
The two found a hotel that made good West Lake Vinegar Fish and ordered their signature dish. When the waiter brought the dish, Zhao Xiaofei said, "Eat it! Enjoy it!"
"Do you remember that when we were little, we always wanted to visit Hangzhou, but we had no money. After we finally saved some money, Jiang Di broke his arm, and we couldn't go." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I remember that after we finished watching the Legend of the New White Snake, we thought about going to Hangzhou to take a look," said Jiang Xiaomei.
"Now that I finally have time, I might as well experience it. I think this place is pretty good, the pace of life is slow, and it's especially suitable for immigration and settlement. I'll live here when I'm old and buy a villa near the lake," said Zhao Xiaofei.
Jiang Xiaomei smiled wryly and said, "You didn't have so many ideas back then. I remember you said you just wanted to visit Leifeng Pagoda, try some local delicacies, and take a few photos. Then you could show off your trip to your classmates and friends when you came back."
"Now that the conditions are better, we can do more," said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes! Including finding a few more women outside?" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Uh...this question, I..." Zhao Xiaofei was embarrassed. He didn't know how to explain why Princess Kunxing came to modern society to find him.
How could it be such a coincidence? Running into a drunk Jiang Di? It was precisely because of running into Jiang Di that I later met Jiang Xiaomei.
"This is your private matter, you don't need to explain it to me." Jiang Xiaomei said calmly.
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: Why do you bring this up without me having to explain?
"That's my other wife. I have two sons with her." Jiang Xiaomei was stunned after Zhao Xiaofei said this.
Jiang Xiaomei had never expected Zhao Xiaofei to admit it, and he was so calm. No, two children, the timing is wrong! Doesn't that mean he had that woman when he was with her?
Jiang Xiaomei stopped talking and just lowered her head to eat. She hadn't ordered much, but she had already eaten most of it.
Zhao Xiaofei didn't speak again, and the two of them just looked at each other awkwardly while eating.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Xiaomei put down her chopsticks and said, "That girl is pretty and young! She's only about sixteen or seventeen. How did you trick her into it?"
"Do you believe me if I say her father forced it on me?" Zhao Xiaofei said as he put down his chopsticks.
"When did you become so charming? Is your father blind?" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Her father entrusted her to me, and then he died! He told me to treat her well!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Okay! This is more exciting than a TV show!" Jiang Xiaomei said. She knew Zhao Xiaofei wouldn't lie to her because there was no point in lying to herself.
"I've been through some things, you don't know how tortuous they were... I..." Zhao Xiaofei wanted to say more.
Jiang Xiaomei stood up and poured the remaining dishes into a bowl, filling the small bowl with soup and water.
Zhao Xiaofei asked doubtfully, "What's this for? If you're hungry, I'll order more for you!"
Jiang Xiaomei stood up and said, "You owe me this, you should pay it back!"
