girl, you're wrong

Chapter 211 Ambition
Compared with the desperation of the major aristocratic families, the Five Surnames family is relatively more calm.

Among them, the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Cui family of Qinghe are the types who are relatively weak on the frontal battlefield, so they changed "to send people" to "donate money"; the Zheng family of Xingyang is capable of both offense and defense, but the whole city depends on Mr. Zheng. With the shield hanging on, the imperial court did not dare to squeeze it too much.

The Lu family of Fanyang and the Li family of Longxi are very strange and have strong abilities, but they have not contributed much so far, which makes people puzzled.

Cui Jinqi was so entangled by Cheng Jinyang that she had no choice but to call her friends who were core members of the Lu family and the Li family (note that Li Qingwan lacked potential and was not a core member) and asked if there was any secret deal with the imperial court.

"Hey, Ah Ling, let me ask you... what, you don't know? You're lying, you must be lying! I despise you. Forget it, I'm going to find Qingyun."

"Hey, Qingyun, let me ask you something... um, that's right, I can understand keeping it secret, but there is something about my boyfriend's family... Hey, don't you ask who my boyfriend is? Nonsense, nonsense! What do you mean by 'I say I'm a boyfriend, so I'm sure I'm not', would I lie about this kind of issue about girls Qingyu? I don't care about you!"

Cheng Jinyang, who was next to her, saw that every time she made a phone call, she was about to quarrel after a few words, so he quickly reminded her: "Speak business! Talk business!"

Cui Jinqi glared at him in embarrassment, and reluctantly brought it back to the topic again, continuing to chat.

After communicating for a while, the two realized that the imperial court seemed to be holding back a big move with the help of Longxi's Li family and Fan Yang's Lu family... Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, they couldn't say much, unless the Cheng family also joined in.

As for whether you can join, it depends on the review of the imperial court.

If they can join, the God Capital Cheng will no longer need to respond to the imperial court's call to undertake frontal battlefield work that consumes a lot of manpower, but concentrate on preparing for this "big move".

Of course, due to the need for confidentiality, there will definitely not be many people participating, but the risk factor must be astonishingly large.

Or to put it more directly, it is actually sacrificing a small number of clan elites who participated in the plan to save most of the clan...

Well, sure enough, you still have to make a choice.

In other families, there must be some hesitation.After all, the gentry is talking about the elite system, and the ranking of the family depends on the highest level of your family's ability user. Even if you sacrifice a hundred sixth-level ability users, the loss will not be as great as the sacrifice of a fifth-level ability user. big.

However, the embarrassing thing about the God Capital Cheng's side is that they no longer have fifth-rank supernatural powers, and the highest is sixth-rank supernatural powers.

The lowest among the gentry is the fifth rank, and there is no such thing as a "sixth rank family".In other words, compared with the seventh-rank, eighth-rank, and ninth-rank supernatural beings, there is no huge difference like the fifth-rank, so the pros and cons of this aspect can still be calculated carefully.

After thinking quietly for a while, Cheng Jinyang himself still prefers to participate.Because he suddenly thought of another thing, that is the status of the gentry in the capital city of Cheng.

Previously, the emperor promised that he had reached an agreement with Wang Maohong that the status of the Cheng family as a nobleman would not be temporarily suspended during the war. The subtext was "Let's talk after the war".If the war is won and the Cheng clan, the capital of the gods, is preserved, but does not make enough meritorious service in the war, then the status of the gentry is still precarious.

After all, after the war, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and the current resource cake will inevitably be allocated and cut again.If the Cheng family in the god capital didn't have any meritorious service, someone would definitely force the family to spit out the existing family property on the grounds that "the Cheng family in the god capital no longer has fifth-rank supernatural powers".Therefore, if you want to fight for meritorious service, you have to rely on this war...

Difficult Difficult Difficult!So the family is in a mess. I said why all the old people have simply delegated power, and they are also helpless in the face of this situation. Otherwise, how could they let go so quickly!
Thinking of this, Cheng Jinyang called Xing Yuanzhi again and mentioned this matter.

"I'll go and talk to the patriarch right away." Ah Zhi's answer was also very succinct.

Because of the characteristics of supernatural powers, the Cheng and Xing families have always been inseparable from Meng and Meng from Jiao.If the imperial court approves Cheng's joining, it will actually allow the Cheng and Xing families to join together.On the other hand, if the Xing family chooses not to join, then the Cheng family will also have to weigh it carefully.

While waiting for Xing's reply, another strange phone call came.

The caller was the commander of Jinyiwei who came to Luotang last time. On behalf of the imperial court, he told him that the plan has already allowed the God Capital Cheng family and Hejian Xing family to join, and the secret level is "Military-Top Secret". The specific content will be added later. to find out.

As a condition for joining, the God Capital Cheng and Hejian Xing need to provide four sixth-rank supernatural beings to participate.There is also an additional requirement: Cheng Jinyang himself must participate.

Cheng Jinyang: ? ? ?

What do you mean I have to participate?I'm just a little eighth-rank supernatural user, hello!How much effect can it play on the battlefield?

"This is His Majesty's intention." Commander Jin Yiwei added, meaning he didn't know why.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Jinyang began to think again, only to hear Cui Jinqi curiously ask:

"Hey, Jinyang, did you offend the emperor?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Look." Cui Xiaoniang said seriously, "Now there are no fifth-rank supernatural beings in Cheng, the capital of God, and the only one with fifth-rank potential is you."

"If you die on the battlefield, won't the Cheng family, the capital of the gods, be unable to stand up forever?"

At first, Cheng Jinyang thought what she said made sense, but after thinking about it, he didn't need to be so troublesome.

If the emperor wants to rectify the Cheng family in the god capital, wouldn't it be enough to directly announce that "the Cheng family in the god capital will expel the gentry family because there are no fifth-rank supernatural beings"?Even if this statement has no legal effect, but in terms of the volume of the emperor's position, as long as it is announced, it can quickly spread throughout the entire gentry circle, so that the god capital Cheng's "social death", is it difficult?

wrong!The emperor's goal is definitely not the god capital Cheng!Could it be...

……I?

"Hey, you don't really want to participate, do you?" Cui Xiaoniang asked in amazement.

"Otherwise?" Cheng Jinyang sighed helplessly, "He has set out all the conditions."

"Either the family as a whole dies slowly and falls out of the family circle after the war; or take this opportunity to gamble, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, at least the family can die less people. How would you choose?"

"Change me." Cui Jinqi said as a matter of course, "The Cheng family, the capital of God, didn't treat you well before. If you change me, I will run away. The family will be downgraded if it wants to be downgraded, and it will be destroyed if it wants to be destroyed. It has nothing to do with me."

"This is also a way." Cheng Jinyang said with a smile, "But you see, the family has treated me badly before, so why should I go out of my way to return to the family? It's nothing more than the family's resources."

"What's more, my uncle was in charge of the family at that time, but now I am in charge of the family, and all the resources are at my disposal. Giving up the family is very simple, but it also means losing family resources and returning to the precarious life of the poor family before."

"So, although the patriarch is very tired at work now and will risk his life in the future, if you want me to stop fighting and give up the things I got, I must be unwilling."

"So this is a man's ambition?" Cui Jinqi shook her head, expressing that she couldn't understand, "Forget it, then you can continue to fight here, I'm going to watch a drama."

She bounced away, making Cheng Jinyang secretly relieved that he could finally work hard.

After a while, the little lady came over with a tablet, sat down next to Cheng Jinyang, and laughed and watched the TV series.

Cheng Jinyang: ………………
