“We have eaten and played chess. Let’s talk about business.”
After Li Guanglong ordered people to remove the chessboard, he wiped his hands with a white towel and said, “Brother Guanyu, the situation in Yanjing is getting more and more tense now. The candidate for the crown prince has been undecided. I can’t eat or sleep well all day, and I am anxious!
Since you choose to support me, you should do more and decide the position of the crown prince as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease.”
“Your Highness, our Mu Palace is already operating at full capacity. Half of the forces in the eight wealthy families have been recruited by us. Many important officials in the court have also joined our camp. It is no exaggeration to say that among the many princes, you are now the most powerful one.” Mu Guanyu lowered his head slightly.
“These are far from enough.”
Li Guanglong shook his head: “Those old foxes in the court are all fence-sitters, and they are not trustworthy at all. As for the so-called eight wealthy families, they are just icing on the cake and can’t play a decisive role at all. Only the four royal families can influence my father’s decision and the entire court!”
As he said, Li Guanglong glanced at Mu Guanyu and said meaningfully: “Your Mu family has supported me, what is the attitude of the other three families?”
To become the crown prince, he must get the support of at least two or even three of the four royal families.
Of course, if all four royal families stand on his side, then the position of crown prince will be a matter of course.
“I have contacted the Cui family and the Chen family.”
Mu Guanyu said: “The Cui family has expressed its attitude and is ready to marry our Mu Palace. The two direct lines will be married soon. As for the Chen family, it will take a few more days to consider.”
“Then what about the Zhao family?” Li Guanglong asked back.
Whether it is the Cui family or the Chen family, they are far inferior to the Zhao family. Getting the support of the Zhao family is the most important.
“The Zhao family seems to be very close to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. I have been blocked several times when I visited them. It is difficult to win them over.” Mu Guanyu shook his head.
The Zhao family is powerful and has a deep foundation. They don’t need to look at the face of the Mu Palace at all. Coercion and inducement will not work at all.
“It seems that the third brother has some means to tie the Zhao family to his own boat.”
Li Guanglong nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked: “Oh, by the way, is there any movement from Li Wenxing?”
“The eldest prince lives in seclusion and rarely contacts people. Among the eight wealthy families, there are one or two families who are very close to the eldest prince. The rest are small and medium-sized forces that are opportunistic and cannot be put on the stage.” Mu Guanyu replied.
“My eldest brother is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and he has a sickly body. It’s ridiculous that such a person wants to be the crown prince!” Li Guanglong sneered.
A sickly person can only live a few years. Isn’t it asking for trouble to learn from others to fight for power and profit?
“The eldest prince is not to be feared, but the third prince has extremely good connections and power, and he has the support of the Zhao family. He is a tough opponent.” Mu Guanyu analyzed.
“So your core task now is to win over the Chen family. Don’t let them join the third brother, otherwise we will suffer.” Li Guanglong warned seriously.
He now has the support of the Mu family and the Cui family. If there is more Chen family, the hope of becoming the crown prince will be greatly increased.
On the contrary, if the Chen family is recruited by the third brother Li Juntang, the two sides will be in a two-on-two situation, and no one will get the upper hand.
At that time, the two sides will definitely fight fiercely.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will do everything I can to get the Chen family to join you!” Mu Guanyu promised.
“Very good!” Li Guanglong nodded with satisfaction: “After the matter is accomplished, you will be the first to contribute, and I will definitely reward you greatly!”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Mu Guanyu hurriedly bowed his hands.
“There is one more thing, you need to pay attention to it for me.” Li Guanglong suddenly said again.
“Your Highness, just give orders.” Mu Guanyu lowered his head slightly.
“You should know about Xiliang. Lu Wanjun will not live for many days. The heir of the palace will most likely fall to Lu Changge. Some time ago, I had contact with Lu Changge. This kid is quite scheming and has not made a clear statement so far. I need you to find out what weaknesses this kid has for me and use them as much as possible.” Li Guanglong narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Lu Changge?” Mu Guanyu’s pupils shrank, and then he nodded heavily: “I understand, I will do it right away.”
“Go, don’t let me down.” Li Guanglong waved his hand.
Mu Guanyu bowed deeply and turned to leave.
Winning over Lu Changge is much more troublesome than winning over the Chen family.
A female spy in black and cloak was reporting the information after the investigation to Li Juntang.
“Master, the people in the Mu Palace have been very active recently, and are forming gangs everywhere. Many of the eight wealthy families and various forces have already united with the Mu Palace.”
“If we let them develop like this, it will be a huge threat to us.”
The female spy knelt on one knee and lowered her head slightly.
“The Mu Palace is relying on my second brother, right?”
Li Juntang sat quietly without any reaction.
“The Mu Palace is ambitious. It’s said to rely on, but in fact it’s more like supporting a puppet to take the position and strengthen its own power.” The female spy said it out.
She has been lurking in the Mu Palace for many years, and has a deep understanding of big and small things and all kinds of people.
Don’t look at the prince Mu Xuefeng who looks like a philanthropist all day long, in fact, these are all disguises.
The real Mu Xuefeng is ruthless and kills without blinking an eye.
There was once an adopted son who just openly argued with Mu Xuefeng on some things. As a result, not long after, the adopted son was slaughtered by the enemy, and then Mu Guanyu came to power.
It was said to the outside that it was revenge by the enemy, but according to her investigation, it was a private army raised by Mu Xuefeng, which was specially used to eliminate dissidents.
“It seems that Mu Xuefeng is still treacherous and wants to use my second brother to get to the top.”
Li Juntang sneered: “It’s a pity that my second brother is a man with strong limbs and a simple mind. He didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem at all. He really thought that he was destined to sit on the throne, but he was just a chess piece.”
“Master, you raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment. As long as you give an order, Mu Xuefeng will not live until tomorrow!” The female spy said in a deep voice.
She had the opportunity to get close to Mu Xuefeng. With her means, and with the help of other spies, assassinating Mu Xuefeng should not be a problem.
“Assassinating Mu Xuefeng is a bad idea. Unless it is a desperate situation, this trick must not be used.” Li Juntang shook his head.
Although the decapitation operation can severely damage the Mu Palace, it will also provoke crazy revenge from the Mu Palace.
At that time, you kill me and I kill you, and the whole Yanjing will be in chaos.
“I wonder if the master has any other plans?” asked the female spy.
“My second brother has a strong personality and is unwilling to be inferior to others. Although he does not have the talent of an emperor, he has the ability of a general. If he knows that he is just a pawn for Mu Xuefeng to ascend to the top, what do you think he will do?” Li Juntang asked with a smile.
“Do you mean to sow discord? Let them be suspicious of each other?” The female spy quickly reacted.
“That’s right.” Li Juntang curled his lips:
“Master is wise!” The female spy’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, by the way, what’s the situation with Li Wenxing?” Li Juntang suddenly asked.
“Although the eldest prince is trying his best to win over various forces, there are few people who surrender to him, and the threat is not great.” The female spy replied.
“My eldest brother is ambitious, but unfortunately he will not live long.”
Li Juntang touched his chin, as if he thought of something, and suddenly smiled: “Make an appointment for me, I want to meet my dear eldest brother.”
“Yes!” The female spy responded and turned to leave.
…
An hour later, Li Juntang, who was disguised, quietly walked into a private mansion.
In the living room of the mansion, Li Wenxing had already prepared tea and snacks, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
“Sorry, big brother, I kept you waiting for so long.”
Li Juntang took off his coat and walked forward with a smile.
“Not at all. It’s rare for us two brothers to get together. I’m so happy that you can take the initiative to meet me, your big brother. What’s the big deal about waiting a few more minutes?”
Li Wenxing smiled and extended his hand to invite him. At the same time, he personally poured two cups of tea and handed one to Li Juntang.
Li Juntang took the tea and put it aside unnoticeably.
When going out, you should pay special attention to eating and drinking. This is his caution engraved in his bones.
“Third brother, you asked me to meet temporarily. Are you going to talk about business? Or talk about personal matters?”
Li Wenxing took his teacup and took a sip, and got straight to the point.
“Both business and personal matters.” Li Juntang smiled.
“Oh? What is business? What is personal matters?” Li Wenxing raised his eyebrows.
“Brother, now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it anymore.”
Li Juntang sat up straight, his smile subsided: “Our father’s health is getting worse day by day, and the position of crown prince is still undecided. There are only a handful of people who can really compete.
Logically speaking, you are the eldest and the legitimate son, so you should be the crown prince.
But there are many strange voices in the court, especially from the second brother, who seems to disagree.”
Li Guanglong has ambitions, and so does the person in front of him?
“If we brothers compete fairly, then we will naturally rely on our own abilities. The problem now is that someone wants to interfere and plunder our Li family’s kingdom!” Li Juntang said shockingly.
“Hmm?” Li Wenxing frowned: “What do you mean?”
“Brother, you probably don’t know yet? The Mu Palace has united all forces to fully support the second brother to take the throne. Now the second brother is the only one in power.” Li Juntang said.
“The second brother can get the support of the Mu Palace, that’s his ability.” Li Wenxing remained calm on the surface.
“Support?” Li Juntang shook his head: “Brother, if you think so, you are wrong!”
“What do you mean?” Li Wenxing was a little confused.
“According to my investigation, Mu Xuefeng is a man with deep scheming and obsessed with power. The reason why Mu Xuefeng chose to support the second brother is not to surrender, but to use him!”
“You and I know the character of the second brother. He is first-class in marching and fighting, but he is no match for Mu Xuefeng when it comes to conspiracy and intrigue.”
“Now Mu Xuefeng is using the name of the second brother to form cliques and engage in private interests. Once the second brother really takes power, Mu Xuefeng’s power will reach its peak and become the real uncrowned king.”
“By then, not only will the second brother become a puppet and be controlled by Mu Xuefeng, but our entire Li Dynasty will also fall apart!”
Li Juntang’s face was serious, his voice was like thunder, and it was deafening.
After listening to Li Juntang’s words, Li Wenxing’s expression became particularly heavy, his brows were deeply locked, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that he still thought too simply.
He thought it was just a competition between brothers, but he didn’t expect that it would give Mu Xuefeng, the fierce tiger, an opportunity to take advantage of.
Mu Xuefeng’s power is huge in itself.
This time, under the name of supporting Long to ascend to the throne, he formed gangs everywhere and recruited talents, and even had an influence comparable to that of the royal family.
If the other party really supports Li Guanglong to ascend to the throne, he will surely be more powerful than the master, and no one can suppress him.
The worst case scenario is that he will use the emperor to command the princes and completely overthrow the regime of the Li Dynasty!
“Third brother, are all these words you said true?” Li Wenxing frowned and asked.
“It’s absolutely true, and there is no falsehood!” Li Juntang said seriously: “Of course, if you don’t believe it, you can ask someone to investigate it yourself.”
“Of course I believe you, but… it’s not an easy thing to deal with Mu Xuefeng. Do you have any good ideas?” Li Wenxing asked.
“I have sent people to remind my second brother, but the effect is minimal. My second brother thinks I have ulterior motives and doesn’t believe me at all. For now, the only way is for us to join forces to prevent my second brother from taking the throne, so as to crush Mu Xuefeng’s conspiracy!” Li Juntang said.
In terms of power, he is not as good as his second brother Li Guanglong now.
If he can join forces with his eldest brother Li Wenxing, then his chances of winning will be much greater.
Of course, the most important thing is that once Li Guanglong is overthrown, the position of the crown prince will belong to him.
Because Li Wenxing can’t compete with him at all.
This is his plan.
“It seems that this is the only way.” Li Xingwen nodded thoughtfully.
For the sake of the Li Dynasty and his own interests, he must prevent Li Guanglong from taking the throne.
“So, my eldest brother agreed?” Li Juntang raised his eyebrows.
“For both public and private reasons, I cannot let Mu Xuefeng succeed in his plot. However, with our combined power, we are still a little short of the strength needed to fight against Mu Xuefeng and his men. We need to find a few more powerful allies,” Li Wenxing analyzed.
“Four of the eight great families have already chosen to join the Mu Palace. We can win over the other four, but in this regard, we still have to rely on your connections, big brother,” Li Juntang said.
“I do know some old friends among the big families. It shouldn’t be a big problem to win them over.”
As he said that, Li Wenxing suddenly changed the subject: “But compared to the big families, the four royal families are the ones we focus on winning over. Putting aside the Mu Palace, there are also the Zhao family, the Cui family, and the Chen family.”
“The Cui family is closely connected with the Mu Palace. It is estimated that they have joined the second brother’s camp. It is difficult to win them over. Now we can only start with the Zhao family and the Chen family.”
Li Juntang said calmly: “Brother, I have a good relationship with the Zhao family. I can be a lobbyist and try my best to win them over. As for the Chen family, you have to do it yourself.”
“Okay, I will go to the Chen family in person tomorrow morning to see what Duke Chen thinks.” Li Wenxing nodded and did not refuse.
If the Chen family can be won over, it will definitely be a great help.
“Brother, I have something else to ask of you.” Li Juntang said again.
“Just ask if you have anything to say. We are in the same boat now and should help each other.” Li Wenxing said with great pride.
“Brother, if we want to seize the initiative, we must have a big enough advantage in intelligence, and this is exactly Qingcheng’s specialty. Her Baixiaotang is definitely in the top three in intelligence collection in the entire Dragon Kingdom. If Qingcheng helps us, things will go more smoothly.” Li Juntang said.
Among the many princes and princesses, Li Qingcheng is undoubtedly very outstanding.
And unlike their military and political development, the other party mainly builds intelligence agencies. After years of accumulation, the intelligence network can be said to be spread throughout the Dragon Kingdom.
Definitely not to be underestimated.
“You mean, let me bring Qingcheng over too?” Li Wenxing narrowed his eyes.
“Brother, you have a good personal relationship with Qingcheng. As long as you ask, I believe she will not refuse.” Li Juntang smiled.
“Not necessarily.” Li Wenxing shook his head: “I know Qingcheng’s character. She never participates in party disputes. She will never agree to help us deal with her second brother.”
Li Qingcheng’s intelligence agency is naturally beyond reproach, but the other party is very principled in doing things. When it comes to competition between princes, they always remain neutral.
“Brother, we just let Qingcheng provide intelligence, not let her directly participate in it. I don’t think this is against the principle. At most, we can pay more for intelligence.” Li Juntang said.
“This…” Hearing this, Li Wenxing frowned slightly and hesitated.
“Brother, everything is important for the overall situation!” Li Juntang said earnestly.
“Okay, I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee that it will work.” After a little contemplation, Li Wenxing finally nodded.
Although he didn’t want to drag Li Qingcheng into the water, the current political situation was turbulent and undercurrents were surging. As a royal heir, he couldn’t stay out of it.
Some things had to be done even if he didn’t want to.
After Lu Chen finished dinner, he was warmly kept by the Chen family.
It was the first time that Concubine Xuan of Cao brought her boyfriend home, so the Chen family naturally attached great importance to it.
As the Duke of the State, Chen Xueliang personally accompanied the couple and specially called the young couple to the study room to drink tea and chat.
With Chen Xueliang’s eyesight, he could naturally see that Lu Chen was not an ordinary warrior.
Whether it was his speech and behavior or his knowledge and erudition, he was far superior to ordinary people.
“Xiao Lu, I fully support you and Concubine Xuan. Regardless of your status or background, as long as you two are in love, it is more important than anything else.”
Chen Xueliang said earnestly: “In addition, my Concubine Xuan has been spoiled since she was a child and has never suffered any grievances. After she follows you, I hope you can treat her well.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chen, I will never let Concubine Xuan down.” Lu Chen looked serious.
The two have known each other for so long, although there has been no substantial development, but they have already expressed their feelings.
Concubine Cao Xuan treated him wholeheartedly, so he naturally couldn’t let her down.
“Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about this at all. I, your grandson, have a sharp eye and will never make the wrong choice.” Concubine Cao Xuan smiled proudly.
“You are a cunning girl. I am not afraid that you will suffer. I am worried about Xiao Lu. What if he learns bad things from you?” Chen Xueliang teased.
“Grandpa, are you so bad as to spoil me? Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to get married?” Concubine Cao Xuan pouted, very dissatisfied.
“Hahaha…” Chen Xueliang laughed heartily: “How can a girl from my Chen family not be able to get married? At most, I don’t want a betrothal gift, but give more dowry.”
“That’s too cheap for him.” Concubine Cao Xuan glanced at Lu Chen charmingly.
“Speaking of marriage, what do you think, Xiao Lu? If it’s convenient, why not choose a time to arrange a meeting between the elders of both sides and settle the marriage as soon as possible.” Chen Xueliang suddenly changed the subject.
The situation in Yanjing will soon become turbulent, and he can’t guarantee what the Chen family will be like in the future.
Taking advantage of the current calm, marrying off the granddaughter as soon as possible is a wish.
“Mr. Chen, to be honest, I have some things to do recently and I can’t get away for the time being; but I promise that I will give you a satisfactory answer within three months!” Lu Chen replied.
The Dragon Source Qi has not yet gathered, and I dare not be careless with the national destiny.
In addition, he also needs to communicate with Xiliang.
Since it is a meeting between the parents of both sides, Lu Wanjun must be notified anyway.
“With your words, I feel relieved.” Chen Xueliang nodded.
“By the way, Grandpa, has something happened at home? Why haven’t I seen my uncle and his family?” Concubine Cao Xuan suddenly asked.
When they were having dinner, someone from Prince Mu’s mansion suddenly came to visit.
Then, my uncles disappeared and haven’t shown up since then, which made her curious.
“There are indeed some changes at home, but they are all trivial matters. You don’t have to worry about them.” Chen Xueliang smiled.
“Grandpa, you have been worried since dinner. It doesn’t look like a trivial matter. If you have any problems, you might as well tell us. Maybe we can give you some advice.” Concubine Cao Xuan said.
“You girl, you really can’t hide anything from your eyes.” Chen Xueliang smiled and shook his head.
He didn’t want these things to interfere with the normal life of his family, but now, it is obvious that he can’t hide it anymore.
His granddaughter is eccentric and has many ideas. Maybe she really has some good ideas.
“The matter that worries me is indeed not small. It not only concerns the development of the Chen family, but also determines the rise and fall of the Dragon Kingdom in the future.” Chen Xueliang’s smile slowly faded.
“What exactly is it?” Cao Xuanfei was very curious.
“Rumor has it that the emperor has a terminal illness and has not much time left, but the candidate for the crown prince has been undecided. All the heirs who are capable of competing have begun to become active, forming gangs and factions, and developing their power. I predict that Yanjing will soon be in a bloody storm.” Chen Xueliang sighed lightly.
“So Mu Guanyu came to the door today to use the name of marriage to pull the Chen family into their camp?” Cao Xuanfei quickly grasped the key to the problem.
Mu Guanyu had previously revealed his intention to marry the Chen family and even took the initiative to pursue her, but she always treated him as air.
Now it seems that the Mu Palace has already made plans.
“You guessed right, the Mu Palace wants to form an alliance with us to strengthen its own power.” Chen Xueliang nodded.
“So, grandpa, what you are worried about now is whether to join the camp of Prince Mu’s Mansion. If you don’t join, it is equivalent to offending Prince Mu’s Mansion, which may lead to the two sides becoming enemies. If Prince Mu’s Mansion gains power, the Chen family will have a hard time in the future; on the contrary, if you join the camp of Prince Mu’s Mansion, once the power struggle fails, the Chen family will suffer a catastrophe!”
Speaking of this, Cao Xuanfei couldn’t help but frowned.
No wonder grandpa has a headache, this is indeed a dilemma.
The most important thing is that with the influence of the Chen family, it is impossible to get out of this vortex.
“Yes, the Chen family is now in a dilemma and needs to consider it carefully. This is why your three uncles went out.” Chen Xueliang said.
“Where did they go?” Cao Xuanfei asked.
“Your eldest uncle went to the Zhao family to find out the situation, your second uncle went to the Cui family to understand the situation, and as for your third uncle, I asked him to go to Xiliang overnight.” Chen Xueliang did not hide it.
“Xiliang?”
Hearing these two words, Lu Chen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
Did Mr. Chen send his third son to the Lu family to seek advice?
Yanjing and Xiliang are completely two different worlds.
The dispute over the crown prince in Yanjing has no impact on the Xiliang Palace at all.
The two sides are in a state of non-interference, and no one cares about each other. This is already a tacit rule.
“I understand this truth, but the situation is different now. When it comes to the imperial power and the throne, all forces will try their best to win the support of the Xiliang Palace. Once the balance between the two sides for many years is broken and the Xiliang Palace enters the game, everything will change. Just in case, I need to investigate it in advance.” Chen Xueliang explained.
It would be fine if the Xiliang Palace did not join the party struggle. Once it joins the game, Yanjing will definitely be shaken.
Hundreds of thousands of Xiliang cavalry are there, and a slight stomp of their feet can make people tremble with fear.
“Grandpa, what if… I mean, what if the Xiliang Palace really intervenes in the dispute over the crown prince, what will happen?” Cao Xuanfei asked tentatively.
“If the Xiliang Palace really intends to intervene, then it is good news for us. At least we don’t have to worry about it anymore. Whoever the Xiliang Palace supports, our Chen family will support, and it will be correct.” Chen Xueliang said.
What four royal families and eight wealthy families are not good enough in front of the Xiliang Palace.
As long as the Xiliang King is willing, it is not a problem to support a puppet to take the throne.
“So, you let your third uncle go to test the waters? See if the Xiliang Palace intends to interfere with the imperial power?” Cao Xuanfei soon realized.
“What I am worried about now is whether your third uncle can step into the door of the Xiliang Palace?
Our Chen family’s face may not be useful in Xiliang.” Chen Xueliang sighed lightly.
As one of the four royal families, the Chen family is indeed very popular in Yanjing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can get a hundred responses.
Even the government has to give some face.
But in Xiliang, the situation is completely different.
That is a place where even the imperial power cannot intervene. Any connections, any power, and any prestige in Yanjing are useless there.
It is no exaggeration to say that the whole Xiliang is completely under the control of the King of Xiliang.
“Mr. Chen, if you are visiting the Xiliang Palace, I can help.”
At this time, Lu Chen suddenly said.
In the past, he would naturally not show off this, but considering Concubine Cao Xuan and the future of the Chen family, he still has to help.
“Huh?”
Chen Xueliang raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised: “Do you have connections in the Xiliang Palace?”
He did not reveal his identity.
First, he did not want to participate in party disputes; second, he did not want to be treated differently.
“Okay, okay! If someone familiar introduces me, it will definitely go much more smoothly.”
Chen Xueliang smiled and nodded: “Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, I’ll trouble you with the matter in Xiliang.”
“No trouble, it’s just a piece of cake, I’ll contact the person now.” Lu Chen smiled slightly.
Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed his brother’s number.
As soon as the call was connected, a very excited voice came from the other side.
“Brother! You finally call me?”
“Do you know what kind of hard life I have been living these days? Come back and save me!”
“Without you standing up for me, I’m almost tortured to death by that old man!”
Lu Tianba complained bitterly as soon as he opened his mouth, and those who didn’t know would think he had suffered some cruel abuse.
“Okay, okay, stop playing miserable in front of me. Isn’t it just a little strict? This is all for your own good.”
Lu Chen interrupted Lu Tianba’s complaints and changed the subject: “I called you because I have something for you to do. You can’t be careless.”
“Don’t worry, brother! As long as you open your mouth, I will do it beautifully for you even if I have to go through fire and water!” Lu Tianba promised proudly.
“I have an uncle named Chen Zhengjun, who is from the Chen family in Yanjing. He will go to Xiliang to do something in a few days. You should receive him well.” Lu Chen ordered.
“Oh! I thought there was something big that made me excited, but it turned out to be just this?” Lu Tianba’s tone was a little disappointed.
In his subconscious, his elder brother did earth-shaking things, and the tasks assigned to him must be not simple.
I never thought that in the end, he was just asked to receive someone, which was a bit disappointing.
“Just do it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?” Lu Chen said unhappily.
“Okay, okay, I’ll arrange it right away. You’re my brother, after all.” Lu Tianba was helpless.
“Oh, by the way, how is the old man?” Lu Chen suddenly asked.
“Not very good. Although he looks fine on the surface, he often coughs up blood at night. Now he relies on some magic pills to keep him going. I don’t know how long he can last.” Lu Tianba sighed.
Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly fell silent.
He did hate his father before, but after experiencing some things, he gradually understood the other party’s difficulties.
Now thinking that the man is dying, he can’t help but feel a little heavy.
“Take good care of him and don’t let him worry anymore. That’s it. Contact me if you have anything.”
After a long time, Lu Chen gave a warning and finally hung up the phone.
Chen Zhengjun, wearing a Zhongshan suit, stood at the airport gate looking forward to it.
Before coming, he had contacted his comrades-in-arms.
The two had served in the army together. Later, he made military achievements, and with the help of the Chen family, he was lucky to stay in Yanjing and got a good position.
His comrades-in-arms of the same period went to Xiliang to make a living. After years of hard work, he was also successful in Xiliang. Now he is a third-rank general with power and connections.
Whether he can meet the King of Xiliang this time depends entirely on the face of this comrade-in-arms.
Woo——!
At this time, accompanied by the roar of the car, a military jeep suddenly stopped next to Chen Zhengjun.
The car window was lowered, and the first thing to appear was a big bald head.
Under the sunlight, the bald head was like a light bulb, and it was a bit dazzling.
Under the bald head, there was an ordinary face.
The only unusual thing was that the man’s neck was thicker than his head, and he was full of flesh, as strong as a bear.
This man was Chen Zhengjun’s comrade-in-arms, Liu Qiang.
“Old Liu?”
Chen Zhengjun squinted his eyes and looked carefully, doubting that he had made a mistake.
He remembered that a few years ago, Liu Qiang still had a full head of hair and a lean body.
How come he had become stronger and even lost all his hair after just a few years of not seeing him?
If the face was not so familiar, he would not have dared to recognize him.
“Hahaha, Old Chen, long time no see, I miss you so much!”
Liu Qiang jumped out of the car and gave Chen Zhengjun a bear hug. The powerful force made the latter’s breathing stagnate and he almost couldn’t breathe.
“Be gentle, be gentle, the bones are going to break.”
Chen Zhengjun grinned and struggled.
“I haven’t seen you for a few years, why are you still this small? Too thin?”
Liu Qiang let go of his hand and looked Chen Zhengjun up and down with a look of disgust.
