Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 773
"Since your lord doesn't mind, I'll say it."

The eldest prince grabbed the chopsticks, but he didn't have any intention of picking up food: "I think you know my current situation."

"Not long ago, I led an army to attack Beihai. I didn't expect to meet Qin Feng in Beihai, but he forcibly dispersed the troops I led."

"After that, I went all the way south, but I was hunted down, and I was about to fall into desperation."

Having said this, the First Prince looked at Chen Zhizhou again: "I don't know what you think, Mr. Chen?"

"Your Highness... I'm just a small governor. How can I have any opinion on such a big family matter?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen why is he so cautious, you just say it's okay."

The First Prince laughed twice, making Chen Zhizhou's forehead sweat like rain.

How could he not know what the eldest prince was thinking, and he clearly wanted himself to make a statement, but Chen Zhizhou knew better that the best way to deal with such a major event involving changes in the world is to be yourself, and you must not randomly stand in line.

Once you stand on the wrong team, it will be beyond redemption.

But the eldest prince has been staring at Chen Zhizhou closely from the beginning to the end, even if Chen Zhizhou didn't want to talk, he could only swallow his saliva at this moment: "Your Highness, if you want to ask me, I just think His Highness is at a disadvantage. I'm afraid...I'm afraid there is not much chance of winning."

"Hahaha, Master Chen's words are true. Although I have the Youzhou Headquarters in my hand, I have no background inside and no reinforcements outside. It is true that I have no chance of winning."

"But it's not that I can't find a way to win. If you are interested, I can tell you about it."

Of course Chen Zhizhou didn't want to hear such words, and he didn't dare to listen, but the eldest prince didn't give Chen Zhizhou a chance to refuse: "What I lack the most now is a place where I can move around strategically."

As he spoke, he watched Chen Zhizhou's reaction, and when he finished speaking, Chen Zhizhou picked up the wine glass at this moment, motioned and drank the wine in the glass.

But when he was drinking, he didn't dare to look at the eldest prince from the beginning to the end.

This kind of reaction made the eldest prince even more amused: "For example, if I can take Shandong and expand my force, I can retreat to defend Youzhou, advance to threaten the capital at an angle, or go all the way north to join forces with Jurchen outside the customs to attack Beihai .”

"This is a countermeasure to survive in a desperate situation. It's just that this matter is easy to say. If you really want to take Shandong, how can it be so easy?"

Chen Zhizhou remained silent, but the eldest prince continued: "My lord, back then you almost lost your official position and involved your family members. If I hadn't stepped forward to help you, your lord would not know how destitute you are today."

"Now that I'm in trouble, my lord won't just ignore death, will he?"

He went around and around, and finally revealed his true colors.

These words are to remind Chen Zhizhou that he still owes himself a favor.

More importantly, his dealings with the First Prince can be regarded as a handle. If Chen Zhizhou does not help the First Prince, this handle may appear on the desk of the emperor in the capital.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhizhou felt cold sweat all over his head.

He thought for a while before asking again: "Your Highness, I don't know how you want me to help you?"

"I know that you have a close personal relationship with Zhou Shahu, the chief soldier of Shandong, and I'm not interested in the nasty things between the two of you, but I hope you can introduce Zhou Shahu for me. If he can hand over the military power to me, it will be the best. Well, even if it’s not far away, you can cooperate with me and send troops to help me when I need it.”

"I think, with your friendship, you will be able to convince him,"

The eldest prince grinned, revealing a bit of seriousness.

This is a blatant threat. If Chen Zhizhou agrees, it's okay, but if he doesn't agree, then all the things he did before will become his excuses. If the eldest prince succeeds in the end, he will definitely not let himself go, even if he fails in the end, Once these handles are handed over to the court, he will only have a dead end.

He hurriedly wanted to pour wine for himself, using it to cover up his emotions, but when he picked up the jug, he realized that his palms were shaking violently, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

Seeing this scene, the First Prince laughed even louder.

"Of course I will remember His Highness's kindness for saving me back then, but this matter is of great importance. I hope His Highness will allow me to think about it again?"

"I wonder how long my lord intends to think about it?"

"This……"

Chen Zhizhou hesitated again, his first reaction was to reject the eldest prince, but he didn't have the guts.

Just when Chen Zhizhou had countless thoughts surging in his mind, just outside the small courtyard, the concierge walked in again.

"grown ups……"

The concierge glanced at the first prince, then at Chen Zhizhou, and after some hesitation, he still took out the letter from his arms.

"Your Highness, the young master sent a letter, saying that he wants to deliver it to you personally."

"Why is he writing to me?"

Chen Zhizhou's heart skipped a beat, the music sensed something was wrong.

How could Chen Chu write letters to himself so well, could it be...

He glanced at the eldest prince, but the eldest prince quickly waved his hand: "Don't worry, my lord, if I do this kind of trick, I will tell you directly, why do I need to go around like this?"

"Who would that be?"

Chen Zhizhou was puzzled, but the concierge continued at this moment: "My lord, the person who came to deliver the letter said that this letter is extremely important. If you see it, I hope you can read it as soon as possible."

When the concierge said this, Chen Zhizhou frowned even tighter, but he still said to the concierge: "Then you send it up, let me have a look."

Originally, he wanted to avoid the eldest prince, but when he heard what the concierge said, he always felt that something was wrong.

The eldest prince's eyes also fell on Chen Zhizhou, observing Chen Zhizhou's reaction.

Sure enough, as the First Prince had guessed, after Chen Zhizhou saw the contents of the letter, his pupils dilated a little, and he quietly revealed a look of surprise.

"My lord, could it be that Mr. Chen has encountered some trouble?"

The status of a person who can be called a young master by the concierge is self-evident.

What's more, the first prince has basic information about the prominent officials of the Great Zhou, and he also knows that Chen Zhizhou does have a son.

Chen Zhizhou didn't say a word, and he didn't even notice that the letter in his hand fell to the ground.

The eldest prince stepped forward curiously and picked up the letter.

But when he read the contents of the letter, he was overjoyed.

Because the person who wrote the letter turned out to be the yamen of Ninghai County, Shandong.

And the content of this heart is also very simple, because Chen Zhizhou's son, Chen Chu, intends to lead troops to attack Qin Feng, and has already been arrested.

To save Chen Chu, unless Chen Zhizhou went to the Ninghai county government in person.

Who is Qin Feng? Maybe many ordinary people in Dazhou don't know, but how could he not have heard of this thunderous name when he is an official at the level of Chen Zhizhou?

Starting from a small county magistrate, let the princess take the initiative to propose marriage, but refused the emperor's marriage, such a deed is enough to shock the world.

But after being exiled, he actually made a comeback, and what happened after that was widely spread.
