Chapter 196 How Can This Be Called Stealing?

The high priest said coldly as he looked at the man on the roof.

Mu Qingli tore off the mask on his face, revealing his handsome face. Hearing the words of the high priest, he sneered: "It's useless to say more. If you have the guts, kill me. I will never let my body feed those disgusting bugs."

"And Mu Qingran, your desire to restore the former glory of the Wu family is simply wishful thinking. Just wait for your destruction!" After saying that, he suddenly sprinkled a large amount of powder and flew away.

The moment Mu Qingran and others were avoiding the unknown powder, Mu Qingli had disappeared.

"Ah! It's so itchy!"

Those in the crowd who were contaminated by the powder began to scratch their faces or bodies. Even the high priest felt a little itchy, but she forcibly suppressed the urge to scratch and gritted her teeth and said, "You don't know how to live or die!"

The high priest was furious and said, "Throw the old patriarch into the Gu Cave to contribute to the Gu God. Inform the witch doctor to find a way to prepare an antidote."

Then she said to Mu Qingran, who had a gloomy face, "Holy Son, please rest assured that I will not let Mu Qingli live to ruin your plans."

After saying that, he left on crutches.

The new patriarch looked at his grandson: "A Ran?"

Mu Qingran responded indifferently, then raised a wicked smile and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Grandpa, no one can stop my great cause! Mu Qingli has the Tongsheng Gu in his body, he can't survive."

"Humph, how can a bastard compete with you, who has the pure blood of the witch clan?"

The two of them are determined to restore the glory of the Wu family.

After the high priest got rid of the itchiness on his body, he returned to his residence and found a bottle containing a female Gu. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he crushed the female Gu to death.

As soon as he escaped from Qingyou Valley, Mu Qingli suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned pale. Hua Guo and Hua Li, who were sitting in the carriage in the woods waiting for a pick-up, saw their master's weak appearance and hurried over to support him: "Master!!"

Mu Qingli saw his own people and then completely lost consciousness. Whether he lived or died depended on his luck.

On this day, the two brothers Lu Zhanxing and Lu Zhanyan met a new negotiation team.

"Father-in-law, why did you come here in person?"

Lu Zhanxing was very surprised. The person who came was Prime Minister Su, her father-in-law?

Why is the new emperor so generous?

Prime Minister Su met his son-in-law, then looked at Lu Zhanyan. Seeing that they looked normal and did not look worried, his guess was confirmed.

He bowed to Lu Zhanyan and said, "Greetings, Duke Anguo!"

Prime Minister Su felt a little regretful. If he had not wanted to curry favor with the royal family, why would he agree to let his youngest daughter break off the engagement?

Otherwise, if the rebellion succeeded this time, his little daughter might become the queen.

But then I thought again, I’m not sure whether this little daughter is my biological daughter, maybe this is God’s will.

Fortunately, his eldest daughter married the younger brother of the Duke of Anguo, so they were related. Even if Lu Zhanyan succeeded in the future, his son-in-law would at least be a prince, which was not so bad.

From now on, I will still be a member of the royal family.

Lu Zhanyan nodded slightly: "Prime Minister, how are you?"

The three men greeted each other, and Prime Minister Su informed them of Emperor Jiaxing's decision.

Lu Zhanxing and his brother looked at each other. They felt that Emperor Jiaxing was generous but also understandable.

After all, every time he receives bad 800-mile express information, even Emperor Qian would probably make the same decision!

In the study, Prime Minister Su saw that there were only three people, so he took the initiative to ask: "What is the situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou?"

The two brothers looked at each other and didn't intend to hide it. After all, Prime Minister Su had already come to their territory. What else could they do if he didn't support them?

Compared to others being emperor, isn’t it better for your son-in-law’s brother to be emperor?

So, Lu Zhanxing gave a general account of the situation in the two states, and described in detail how they gained the upper hand in the war, successfully recaptured ten cities from Dayan, and even signed a new peace treaty.

Upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Su widened his eyes in shock, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of disbelief.

He was so shocked and overwhelmed by the shocking news that he was unable to respond for a while.

After a long while, Prime Minister Su came back to his senses and looked at the two brothers in front of him with complicated eyes.

He realized that the so-called 800-li express delivery was actually a scam, the purpose of which was to make the court mistakenly believe that the fighting on the front line was tense and that it was unable to resist. In fact, the Lu brothers had already controlled Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Thinking about the rumors against the new emperor, they were all Lu Zhanyan's work.

Thinking of the new emperor who was so anxious because of the false 800-li express journey and even looked ten years older overnight, Prime Minister Su couldn't help but feel sympathy for Emperor Jiaxing.

According to the palace maids, Emperor Jiaxing not only looked haggard, but also had his hair falling out in clumps. Faced with such a scene, Prime Minister Su could only sigh that it was really not easy for Emperor Jiaxing.

“You guys…”

Prime Minister Su sighed deeply, but soon his mood became excited again.

He said excitedly: "Duke Anguo is indeed a resourceful man, worthy of being a descendant of the Lu family. With such great talent and strategy, he will surely accomplish great things in the near future!"

His tone was full of admiration and expectation, as if he had already seen the bright future prospects of the Lu family.

"My dear son-in-law, you must help your brother accomplish his great cause, understand?"

Prime Minister Su was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Although he had some unpleasantness with Lu Zhanyan before, he had helped the Anguo Mansion afterwards. Besides, Lu Zhanxing was his son-in-law, so they had a close relationship.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I will definitely assist my brother. By the way, Xianye gave birth to a daughter. Father-in-law, please go and see her when you have time. You will definitely like Ling'er."

"Really? Hello, daughter. You are still young and there will be more in the future." Prime Minister Su comforted with a smile.

Although there is a momentary regret, my son-in-law and Xianye are still young and will have more children in the future.

After a conversation, Prime Minister Su asked Lu Zhanyan: "I wonder what the Duke of Anguo is going to do next? These negotiating officials are all my men and can be trusted."

Lu Zhanyan knew that Prime Minister Su had decided to stand on his side. He needed Prime Minister Su's power, so he naturally accepted Prime Minister Su's surrender and said, "Since Emperor Jiaxing has given up Xuzhou and Yanzhou, we can rebel openly!"

Prime Minister Su and Lu Zhanxing were shocked. They decided not to proceed in secret and were ready to stand openly against Emperor Jiaxing.

"The troops I secretly mobilized have already arrived in Xuzhou. We plan to attack Qi with all our might and force it to withdraw its troops. As for Qinzhou..."

Lu Zhanxing immediately said: "Brother, I will go to Qinzhou myself!"

I have space now, so I can use the same old trick again and steal the food and grass from Daqian. No, no, how can this be called stealing?

That is Daqian's thing, it belongs to our family, so we should say "Na".

Lu Zhanxing thought secretly in his heart.

Hearing that Xingdi was willing to go in person, Lu Zhanyan was still a little worried. After all, Yang Jingchen was a calculating guy, and he was afraid that Xingdi would not be his match.

As if he knew what his brother was thinking, Lu Zhanxing said quickly: "Brother, don't worry, I have people on Yang Jingchen's side who can cooperate with me from inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to take him down."

Lu Zhanxing had no choice but to propose his own Skynet forces.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Skynet was there, Lu Zhanyan nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to go to Qinzhou."

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

My brother really believes in his Skynet.

And since the incident with Dayan, my brother seemed to have more confidence in his Skynet forces.

Lu Zhanxing could only comfort himself, it doesn't matter, Skynet is me, I am Skynet,

Forty-five means that my brother believes in me.

But who would have thought that Skynet was just me...
