Chapter 166: Dark Chess

Brothers, when they returned to Xu's mansion, the servants of the entire Xu's mansion immediately began to get busy and welcome Xu Luo.

During the meal, Huangfu Chongzhi asked Xu Luo: "The third brother, father, he really wants you to go to the fiefdom?"

Xu Luo nodded and said, "What?"

Huangfu Chongzhi said with some concern: "Your fief is on the northern border. If there is no war, it is indeed a good place. I have heard that the place has rich resources, fertile soil, and a big river with many precious fish. It can be said that it is an excellent fiefdom. The sixth prince asked his father for that place, but his father refused on the excuse that the place was too severe and the bandits were in trouble..."

"Bandit trouble?" Xu Jie's eyes condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Does the emperor want to send the third brother to suppress the bandits?"

"I think that's what it means!" said the little fat man, "Especially if the war in the north is now tight and if the bandits break out again, it will be very difficult for the people living in the north."

"But suppressing bandits should be the military affairs! We are bare-handed. The emperor doesn't give us soldiers or money. What should we use to suppress bandits?" The fat man said, frowned slightly and muttered: "Your Majesty is too dark..."

Xu Luo smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, it's my fiefdom. Even if Your Majesty wants me to suppress the bandits, it's normal."

Xu Luo said, and couldn't help but think of the plan he had set up a long time ago, and thought to himself: How many things have they done now?"

...

In a small town in the north of the Sky Kingdom.

Tang Yong, Li Yu and Yuan Ren and Yuan Yi were sitting in a tavern drinking.

Looking at the gloomy weather outside, Tang Yong picked up the big bowl in front of him, took a sip of wine, and muttered: "This ghost weather has made me feel in no mood at all."

"Boss Tang, you can also affect your mood due to the good or bad weather?" Li Yu took a sip of wine and teased her.

"Nonsense! Can't I have the weather I don't like?" Tang Yong glared at Li Yu, then said, "Li Xiaoyu, speaking of it, can you be named a bigger official when the young master returns to the imperial capital this time? If that happens, we will take revenge, and hope it will be one step closer!"

"Who knows, the young master made great contributions in the south. In theory, the emperor should reward him more. However, in the past two days, I heard that the young master destroyed a branch of the Wei family in Hongcheng in the south. I don't know whether it is true or false. If it is true, it would be really satisfying, but it may not be of any benefit to the young master himself."

Yuan Ren said from the side: "Young master is still responsible for his work. I believe he has his own ideas when doing this."

Li Yu nodded: "That's natural. Except for the young master, I have never seen a second person as smart as him."

"It's also very kind." Tang Yong took a big sip of wine and muttered, "If it weren't for the large number of young masters, my body would have rotted. How could I sit here and drink with you?"

"What happened back then is basically certain now. We blamed General Xu by mistake. If it weren't for the young master, we would have done something confused." Yuan Yi said from the side.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you do something stupid. You're most afraid of becoming a fool. You can't explain to those brothers even if you die." Li Yu said, then glanced outside, and raindrops were already beginning to drip down.

"It's almost done?" Yuan Ren also glanced outside.

As a dazzling lightning flashed suddenly, a thunder sounded.

Click!

It seemed as if the world trembled violently.

Yuan Ren stood up, grabbed a long knife on the table, put on a hat with a wide brim, and walked out first.

Then, Yuan Yi, Tang Yong and Li Yu were dressed almost the same, and walked out together.

The largest wealthy family in the town, the surname Zhang, all call him rich man Zhang.

Few people know how rich Zhang Qianzhu is, but he is kind and generous, builds bridges and paves roads, and does a lot of good things, so everyone in the town has a very high evaluation of Zhang Qianzhu.

The town is located on the border of the sky and is adjacent to the northern mountains. It has rich resources and adventurers often come and go here. Therefore, the living conditions of the residents in the town are pretty good.

The rich man Zhang is very low-key and rarely appears in front of everyone. In fact, few people know that the rich man Zhang, who lives here all year round, is actually the son-in-law of the imperial prime minister Wei Feng!

The rich man Zhang was named Zhang Dainian. When he was young, he studied at Zhenwu Academy in the imperial capital. He made a lifelong life with a concubine-born girl from the Wei family.

Originally, Zhang Danian, who had an ordinary and even a little humble background, had no chance to marry the Wei family's little sister. Even if this little sister was born in a illegitimate family, he did not have the qualifications.

But he accidentally met Prime Minister Wei Feng, and was called over. After a deep conversation, the young Zhang Danian became the son-in-law of the Wei family.

Of course, few people know about this. Except for a few people from the Wei family, no one else knows that there is a person like him. As for the whereabouts of a illegitimate young lady from the Wei family, no one cares.

After graduating from Zhenwu Academy, Zhang Danian returned to this northern town and started to run a business. In just a few years, the business was very big. Most of the adventurers who came and went to the town had various connections with the Zhang family.

Recently, Zhang Danian has been in a bad mood. What affected his mood was a letter he received some time ago.

Only he himself knew the contents of the letter. After reading it, Zhang Danian burned the letter. It was also from that day that the smile on his face became less and less, and he often locked himself in the study alone, and no one saw him.

Including his most beloved and respected wife in his daily life... the illegitimate young lady from the Wei family.

Zhang Danian walked around the study, restlessly. He could not have imagined that his most respected father-in-law, the prime minister of the dynasty, would have asked him to do such a thing.

That's right, over the years, he has done a lot of things for his father-in-law in private, including accumulating money through various means, including spying on some information from the Northern Army. He has done everything.

Although he knew that these things should not be done, he was already the son-in-law of the Wei family and had been marked as the Wei family, which was an unchangeable fact. Moreover, he also privately believed that it was no big deal to do these things. He also heard about the relationship between his father-in-law's family and the military. It was reasonable to help his father-in-law do something and suppress the military.

But this time, in the letter from his father-in-law, he actually asked him to complete a task now, and this task made Zhang Dainian unable to sleep or eat, and even felt so frightened that he was at a loss!

This is no longer a dilemma, but a daring one!

To put it simply, this matter is a struggle between senior officials. To put it seriously, this is simply equivalent to treason for the country!

Zhang Danian asked himself that he was not a good person. Although he had built bridges, roads, and accumulated virtues and good deeds over the years, he had done many dirty and dirty things in private, but these did not exceed his limits of being a human being.

But this matter... is really too serious!

"Did my father-in-law have been suppressed in the court and can't breathe?" Zhang Danian thought to himself that he knew very little about the things in the court, and most of the things he heard on weekdays were rumors.

But he couldn't go to anyone to discuss it, even the wife he respected the most, he couldn't.

This was also my father-in-law’s personal behalf.

"Or, you disappeared quietly in this world; or, you do things for me, I will marry your daughter to you!"

This is the first thing that Zhang Danian said to him when he met the powerful Wei Prime Minister.

Zhang Danian had almost no hesitation and directly agreed to do things for Wei Xiang. He didn't want to die, he wanted to marry the little sister of the Wei family, and he loved her very much!

This reason is enough.

Over the past few years, although he did not have any noble titles or any prominent reputation, he actually became the number one person in this radius of hundreds of miles.

He lives a rich life and his family has risen because of him. In the eyes of his neighbors, he is still a generous young rich man!

"What should I do?" Zhang Danian murmured.

At this time, the door was knocked and a gentle female voice rang out: "Master, are you here?"

Zhang Danian came to his senses and replied, "It's my wife, come in."

The door was pushed open, and a beautiful young woman came in, holding an umbrella, and the raindrops on the umbrella fell down.

The young woman put the umbrella down and walked over, looked at Zhang Danian with a gentle face, and said softly: "Master, why have you been restless in recent times? Is there something that makes you embarrassed?"

Zhang Danian walked around the desk, walked over, and held his wife's soft and white little hand. Although he had been a couple for several years, he had never felt tired of this wife.

The young woman's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "This is in the study!"

"Haha." Zhang Danian went over and closed the door, then hugged his wife in his arms, smelled the fragrance of the wife, and murmured: "Madam, if I do something that people and gods are angry with each other, I will inevitably be despised by the world. Will you... stop loving me?"

"Oh, why did you suddenly say such words? What kind of thing are you doing? Why are you spitting by the world?" The young woman hugged Zhang Danian's waist and said gently: "I only know that my husband is a kind and generous person!"

"Are you a good person?" Zhang Dainian smiled bitterly and said to himself: Your father... he doesn't give me the chance to be a good person at all!

"Okay, madam, it's okay, don't worry, I will be with you forever." Zhang Daqing sighed, said slowly, and then grabbed a handful of the young woman's plump butt.

The young woman flew on her cheeks, and she said something as if she was running away, and ran out.
