Chapter 236 Taking Control of the Situation

Lv Songli has always known that power will not disappear, but will only transfer.

No matter where the four brothers of the Qin family are placed, they can control the local military power.

The Qin family is suppressed by the status of exiles and cannot take power, but it doesn't matter, her father will do it.

If her father takes over the power zone they vacated, won't it be over?

After being shocked, Qin Heng calmed down in half a cup of tea.

He looked at the calm face of the sixth sister-in-law and said with a wry smile, "Sixth sister-in-law, you really shocked me. Does Uncle Lu know about your bold plan?"

"He doesn't know yet, but I will tell my father. Don't worry, big brother, there will be no problem with him."

Her father had offended too many people for Emperor Kang Cheng before. It was okay for one or two years after Emperor Kang Cheng's death. After a long time, her father would definitely be attacked by someone, and his end would definitely not be good.

So, she did this to earn a way out for her father.

"Too bold!" Qin Heng couldn't help but say this.

"Brother, I was forced to do this." Lu Songli then briefly mentioned her father's situation, intending to achieve empathy.

"Let's not talk about me and my father. I'll just ask you, brother, are you willing to let the Qin family be the fish on the chopping board of the Song Dynasty for generations? Let's not talk about the ancestors of the Qin family. Let's take my father-in-law and the fourth and fifth brothers as examples. Are their deaths worth it?"

Qin Heng was silent at her question.

"In addition, it is true that we go to Houcheng to face danger, but brother, are we absolutely safe if we stay in Xiangping Military Settlement?"

Stay in Xiangping Military Settlement, farm, break stones, and repair city walls? Quietly wait for the new emperor's amnesty in Chang'an City?

Lu Songli felt it was more dangerous. For example, this time Tuoba Lian raided Liaoyang. What about the next time, where will the Xianbei army attack? Without soldiers under their command, the Qin brothers are only a little better than ordinary people, not to mention protecting so many family members.

At least after going to Houcheng, the Qin brothers were able to join the army. Even if they didn't have any titles in the army, they were capable and would attract a large number of followers.

Think about the origin of the term "uncrowned king". In the army, strength is the most convincing. In the face of strength, military rank is nothing.

Lu Songli has a need to control her own life in her bones. She prefers to take the initiative and control the situation herself, rather than waiting for others to control her life.

Listening to her analysis, Qin Heng understood that both the Qin family and the Lu family must be prepared. Otherwise, there will really be a catastrophe.

Such preparations should be made as early as possible.

Lu Songli: "Brother, my decision will not be wrong. We secretly control Houcheng, at least to keep our Qin and Lu families safe."

Secede Houcheng and get involved in Liaodong County. With this as a starting point, you can attack or defend. As for what to do later, let's see how the general situation in the world develops. Anyway, the main focus in the early stage is to go.

When Qin Heng thought of the sacrifices of his ancestors, especially the sacrifice of the head of the family, he would always say, "It's not time yet--"

This was only said to the eldest son and grandson.

So now, is it time?

Qin Heng asked Lu Songli, "Is Uncle Lu sure he can be transferred to Houcheng? Have you received the news?"

"I haven't received the news yet, but I am 50% sure that my father's place of exile must be between Wuliu County and Houcheng."

Lu Songli had been thinking that her father's exile should be a foregone conclusion.

The letter from Chang'an will arrive later than the official one, but it should arrive.

Based on her understanding of the new emperor Song Mo, her father's most likely place of exile is Houcheng and Wuliu County, and even Wangping has been eliminated by her.

If it weren't for these two places, her father would definitely make a fuss.

Lu Songli guessed correctly. For Lu Desheng, the new emperor arranged for him to be in such a dangerous place bordering the Xianbei, and he had no objection. He could tolerate the new emperor's calculations, but the land could not be in Liaoxi County or Youbeiping County, it had to be arranged in Liaodong County! He would rather die in the place closest to his daughter.

Houcheng, the probability is 50-50, the possibility is still very high.

"It's not the sixth sister-in-law, you dare to gamble first with a 50-50 chance?" Qin Heng didn't know what to say.

Lu Songli smiled, "Opportunities are hard to come by, and they will never come back."

The main reason was that the opportunity was too good, and she was reluctant to give it up, so she got the Qin family away in advance, whether it was to Houcheng or Wuliu County.

"What if Uncle Lu was sent to Wuliu County?" Qin Heng couldn't help asking.

Lu Songli raised his eyebrows, "What's the difficulty?" Since they can get rid of the Xiangping military settlement first, and then get rid of Houcheng again, why not?

Qin Heng gave her a thumbs up, sixth sister-in-law, you just rely on your brain.

"This matter should not be publicized. I will tell the second and third brothers later that going to Houcheng is to seek shelter under Uncle Lu." Qin Heng reminded her that she could not even mention the word of separatism in Houcheng.

"Listen to my eldest brother." Lu Songli nodded.

Looking at her well-behaved appearance, Qin Heng thought, who would have thought that his sixth sister-in-law, who looked pure and well-behaved, actually had ambitions that many men dared not even think about?

He had heard such a saying, when a person has ability, ambition, courage, and opportunity, it is time to become famous and prosperous. It is natural to be called a duke and a king.

Sixth sister-in-law, how far can you go?

After the talk, the two stood up and walked out together.

Qin Heng frowned slightly and said, "When we go to Houcheng, the most urgent thing is to deal with the war that may be triggered by Tuoba Lian."

Lv Songli nodded, "Thank you for everything, big brother."

This is a trouble.

In fact, she also understood that it would be best not to start a war, so that they could have time to develop. But this is inevitable, because it is a risk first and an opportunity later. The Qin brothers should prepare for what they should prepare.

Before they reached the door, Qin Sheng rushed in, "Big brother, Lili, have you finished talking?"

Lv Songli smiled and said, "Yes, just finished talking."

Qin Heng looked at him helplessly, you should at least pretend and ask them what they talked about.

At this time, Zhou Da drove a carriage to the military settlement to see them, and also sent a letter to Lv Songli.

This is a letter in a letter. The sub-letter inside was written by her father. This letter first arrived in Longcheng and then transferred to Xiangping, and the mother letter was written by Xue Xu.

Lv Songli read the letter written by her father first.

The place where her father was exiled turned out to be Houcheng!

The joy in Lv Songli's eyes flashed.

She was just gambling before, and now the result is out, she won the bet. She was lucky. Otherwise, she would have to think of another way to get the Qin family to Wuliu County.

"Wife, what is written in this letter? Why are you so happy?" Qin Sheng came forward.

"There is good news." Lu Songli put away her father's letter.

Her father also said in the letter that it was too slow to follow the large army. He planned to go light and take a small team to go first and talk about it in Houcheng. Calculating the time, it should not take long to arrive.

"What good news?"

"My dear father, your father-in-law, is going to be sent to Houcheng as an official. Are you happy?"

Qin Sheng first said, and then nodded under Lu Songli's half-smile, "Happy, happy."

The other members of the Qin family were very happy when they heard it, because they were about to go to Houcheng, and the parents of Houcheng were their relatives, which would benefit them.

Qin Heng felt that his sixth brother's wife was really amazing. Her prediction of the situation was accurate enough.

"Second brother, third brother, and sixth brother, follow me. Let's discuss what to do when we get to Houcheng."

Qin Yan and Qin Zhao looked at each other and hurried to follow.

Qin Sheng hesitated. What were they discussing? He knew what his eldest brother was going to say.

Lv Songli said to him, "Go quickly. I have to pack my luggage too."

"Okay." Qin Sheng knew at a glance that his wife was annoyed with him, and whimpered-"Second brother, third brother, wait for me!"
