girl, you're wrong

Chapter 160 Brothers are against the wall, what to do!
Another two weeks passed.

The four of them have learned almost all of Tianluo Killer's various weapons, equipment and tactics thoroughly.

A large part of this is of course due to the development of the brain domain, which has improved and improved memory almost against the sky.

However, it is one thing to be familiar with it thoroughly, and another thing to use it flexibly.Although the development of the brain domain can simulate the actual combat environment, even after a week of actual combat, Sister Princess dare not say that you are already qualified Tianluo killers.

Time, after all, is still too little.

Although Cheng Jinyang had already figured out how to deal with Su Li, the great demon, in the subsequent dreams every night, Xiao Li seemed to evaporate directly and never appeared again.

Fortunately, through Miss Wang's intervention, the nature of the safe house was preserved and solidified in the old house.Cheng Jinyang also asked her, "Did you build a firewall that can filter out big monsters?" In exchange, Wang Wanrou rolled her eyes.

"If she really wants to come to you, who can stop her in this dream?" Wang Wanrou replied like this, and Cheng Jinyang began to lose his mind again.

People are suspicious when they are there, and worry about gains and losses after they leave.Alas, it's so cheap.

So he could only turn his grief and anger into leveling, and finally reached the eighth-rank realm on this day, and Qiong Biluo finally mastered it proficiently.

It stands to reason that he should be rejoicing, but at this time Cheng Jinyang has no sadness or joy.

Until Cheng, the capital of the gods, called him on a rare occasion and told him to go to Chonghon Hall for a meeting.

Ah, what happened to the family?
After bidding farewell to the girls, Cheng Jinyang hurried to the Chongben Hall where the core members of the family were discussing matters, and saw his grandfather Cheng Benhe, three uncles, and the heirs of their respective houses: Cheng Yizhou, Cheng Yuexian, and Cheng Huaiyan, all gathered here. All of them are expressionless.

"Sorry, I'm late." Cheng Jinyang apologized, and saw the grandfather sitting in the main seat, showing a tired smile, and waved his hands to show that it's okay.

Cheng Huaiyan closed the door of Zhongbentang, and Cheng Yuexian turned on the equipment to ensure that the electromagnetic shielding could not send out signals, so a standard secret room isolated from the outside world was formed, and the family secret meeting was about to start next.

"Jingzhou has secretly contacted us recently." Grandpa Cheng Benhe said.

The so-called Jingzhou, which is the military town occupied by Wang Chuzhong's Longxiang Army, is the biggest enemy of the Jiankang court next.

"Do you want us to surrender?" The second uncle Cheng Qingyuan asked, stroking his beard.

"If Wang Chuzhong was [-]% sure, he wouldn't be able to play this kind of trick." The third uncle Cheng Qingping said coldly.

"In any case, it is a fact that the Longchamp Army has a strategic advantage in the short term. Before thinking about victory, we should think about defeat. We have to be prepared." The patriarch Cheng Qingxin said.

Prepare with both hands, uncle, is this trying to ride the wall?Cheng Jinyang thought to himself.

Isn't the matter of political teams the most taboo for those who sit on the wall?In this way, no matter which side wins, the God Capital Cheng can't get any benefits.How could uncle come up with such a ridiculous idea?

"You mean branch sect?" Grandfather Cheng Benhe said suddenly.

The expressions of the second uncle and the third uncle changed at the same time.

"Yes, branch clan." Patriarch Cheng Qingxin said, "Political alignment is like gambling in a casino. One side is life, and the other side is death. The risk of putting everything in one basket is too great, and our family cannot afford the consequences of losing the bet."

"It's better to divide the Cheng family into two, one line still supports the imperial court, and the other line rebels and joins the Jingzhou Longxiang Army. In this way, no matter who wins or loses, the Cheng family's blood line can be preserved and continued, and it won't be lost because of the wrong line. Absolutely extinct."

That is to say, no matter which side wins, the side that stands there can be preserved... Cheng Jinyang was startled.Wait, doesn't that mean that there will inevitably be a lineage that will be liquidated and destroyed after failure?
This, this is too cruel!
"Other families, which ones have been confirmed to be separated?" Grandfather Cheng Benhe asked blankly.

"The Hejian Xing family will join our family in 'split civil strife', and the rebellious line will vote for Jingzhou together." Cheng Qingxin said in a low voice, "The Sanchuan Zhu family is still considering it, but they prefer to directly vote for the dragon. Xiangjun, so even if we decide not to divide the lineage, we will not report this matter to the imperial court."

"In addition, the secret meeting with the Longxiang Army has been widely circulated in the circle of the fifth-rank family. Everyone is tacit to each other, and someone has already reported the secret to the court. Yu Yuangui was going to start a political purge, but Wang Maohong stopped it. "

"After all, the current Jiankang court can't stand any turmoil at all. Even if one-tenth of the fifth-rank family is killed in the turmoil, the Longxiang army who is about to arrive in Gushu will not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Jiankang to attack with all our strength, His Majesty and Wang Maohong both understand the danger."

The implication is that the law does not blame the public.In order to prevent some families from directly rebelling against the imperial court, would you rather acquiesce in them secretly joining the Dragon Army?Has the imperial court become so weak?
For a while, Cheng Jinyang also had an extremely embarrassing understanding of the so-called decline of imperial power.

The so-called political prestige is that when the emperor speaks out, the world follows.Is it the emperor that everyone fears?No, it is the imperial power with prestige.If you do not obey the imperial power, you will be beaten to death by the forces that obey the imperial power.

However, once the imperial power loses its prestige and the tacit agreement between the major forces to obey the imperial power is broken, everyone will no longer take the emperor seriously.

The better ones, like the major families in Jiankang City, obey the emperor and the imperial court on the surface, but flirt with the Longxiang Army secretly.

Even worse, just like Wang Chuzhong of the Longxiang Army, he began to plot to seize the imperial power and replace him.It's not easy to say that Wang Chuzhong's rebellion is bad, but it can only be said that the current situation is such that even if this Wang Chuzhong is killed, Su Chuzhong, Liu Chuzhong and other ambitious people will come out to make troubles.

"Let's discuss this matter later." Grandpa Cheng Benhe finally said.He still wants to think about it for a few days.

Leaving Chongben Hall, cousin Cheng Yuexian deliberately lagged behind a few steps, and then stopped Cheng Jinyang.

"Although Grandpa wants to think about it, there is no other way to think about it. The strategy of dividing the clan is a foregone conclusion." Cheng Yuexian said worriedly when he came to the corner where there was no one else, "Who will follow up in Jiankang and who will go to Wuchang will definitely be based on their own methods." Fang’s own opinion prevails.”

"Uncle, as the proposer, is probably determined to join the Longxiang Army. In this way, even if you inherit the line that stayed in Jiankang, Cheng Yizhou can also inherit the line that joined the Longxiang Army."

"However, due to the problem of the political camp, only one of the two branches will survive. Cousin, you are so smart, you should understand what I mean?"

Cheng Jinyang pondered for a moment and asked:

"My cousin wants me to save Cheng Yizhou's life if I win?"

"That's right." Cheng Yuexian smiled and said, seeing that Cheng Jinyang was transparent, "I also understand that it was your uncle who suppressed you back then. Although Cheng Yizhou once spoke ill of you, he did not participate in the suppression against you. You brothers There is absolutely no need to kill each other because of this."

"I have already communicated with Cheng Yizhou. If the Longxiang Army wins in the end, he is willing to find someone to secretly replace you and protect your life; if you also agree to protect his life, then the world will belong to the Taiyuan Wang family in the end. , or still remain in Sima's hands, at least our Cheng family's eldest and fourth families will not have a line that will die out because of this."

Cheng Jinyang pondered slightly.

As the cousin said, it was the uncle Cheng Qingxin who pushed his father out of the clan, and this hatred should not be extended to his children.

From his personal impression, he doesn't have too much dislike for this cousin Cheng Yizhou—it's just that he met on the day of the final product meeting, and later he was designated as the heir of the family by his grandfather. I haven't had much contact since then.

"Yes, if the Jiankang court finally wins, I will try my best to keep my cousin alive." He finally nodded in agreement.
