Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

Before that, Zhou Jinyan went to meet a group of his brothers in Chang'an.

Cheng Chumo and others.

Although this group of people can more or less learn martial arts, it is obvious that they cannot be brought into this war.

Zhou Jinyan asked them to take care of his four daughters in Chang'an when he left Chang'an.

He didn't want any accidents to happen after he came back because of this battle.

Cheng Chumo and others naturally agreed.

It's just that I regret not being able to follow Zhou Jinyan in the past.

But also understand.

"Then I'll go back first, and you usually keep an eye on it. If something happens, I won't follow it when I come back."

Zhou Jin said half false and half true.

Everyone naturally patted their chests to reassure.

Not long after Zhou Jinyan returned to Yan's Mansion, someone came to report that Cheng's Mansion had an invitation.

Zhou Jinyan was taken aback for a moment, he had just returned from Cheng Mansion not long ago.

"Who is looking for me?"

"Lu Guogong."

Zhou Jinyan nodded and told Yan Shigu that he was about to leave.

"and many more."

Yan Shigu frowned and said, "What did he ask you for?"

"I don't know, but I have a pretty good relationship with him, so there shouldn't be any malicious intentions."

Yan Shigu smiled and said: "Then what malice can old Cheng have? I'm not worried about this, but I'm afraid that he will give you a son and let you take him to perform meritorious service."

Zhou Jinyan told what happened with Cheng Chumo and others before.

Yan Shigu shook his head, "Cheng Chumo is a good kid, but he has definitely discussed it with his father. You can just figure it out this time. If the plan remains the same, it is best not to bring others to the battlefield."

"it is good."

Zhou Jinyan took the carriage, thinking about Yan Shigu's words, and went all the way back to Cheng's mansion.

Outside the gate of Cheng Mansion, there were already people waiting.

It's Cheng Chumo and his wife.

"Lang Jun!"

Seeing Zhou Jinyan, Xu Xiaohan hurried forward to salute.

"no."

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said, "What's going on? Didn't I just come back from you?"

He looked at Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chu laughed dryly twice, and said: "My father was looking for you, and I don't know what it is. It was quite sudden."

Zhou Jinyan nodded, but he did not doubt Cheng Chumo's words.

Cheng Chumo would tell Cheng Zhijie some things, but Cheng Zhijie would not tell his son everything.

Follow the two into the mansion and reach the inner courtyard all the way.

"You go out first, I have something to talk to Jinyan alone."

Inside the room, Cheng Zhijie waved his hand to let Cheng Chumo and Xu Xiaohan back down.

Cheng Chumo couldn't help but look at Zhou Jinyan, who gave him a wink.

The conversation between the two was caught by Cheng Zhijie, who couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Little bastard, your father's words are not as good as other people's words?"

Cheng Chumo pulled Xu Xiaohan around and ran away.

"This little brat."

Cheng Zhijie shook his head, pointed to one side and said, "Be careful, sit down."

After Zhou Jinyan sat down, he asked, "I don't know why Uncle Cheng asked me to come?"

Cheng Zhijie pondered for a while, and then said: "This time His Majesty sent you and the King of Wei to fight, do you know why?"

Zhou Jinyan pretended to be puzzled and said, "Is it just to fight a war, is there any other intention?"

Cheng Zhijie laughed, "You kid is pretending to be confused with me!"

"Where, I really don't know."

"I don't know, why didn't you go silently?" Cheng Zhijie asked directly.

Chapter 858 Conversation

Zhou Jinyan said: "I haven't fought a war before, so I think it's fine if I win the battle, but what should I do if I lose?"

Cheng Zhijie suddenly grinned, "You knew you would lose the battle!"

Zhou Jinyan pretended to be surprised and said, "Uncle Cheng, don't talk nonsense. If you lose the battle directly, why should I go?"

"Stop pretending, kid."

Cheng Zhijie chuckled like a cunning old fox.

"Before I was in Chang'an, I knew you, and His Majesty knew you too. After knowing that you are assisting King Wei, I thought again, why is this?"

Zhou Jinyan refused to let go, and asked, "Why?"

"You boy."

Cheng Zhijie pointed at him and stared, "After staying in Yazhou for so long, it really has evolved."

Zhou Jinyan looked bewildered.

"In Chang'an, who doesn't know that you have a feud with King Wei?"

Cheng Zhijie smiled slightly, "But this time His Majesty sent you to assist King Wei, don't you think it's strange?"

Zhou Jinyan thought for a while and said, "Maybe I married his two daughters, for the sake of my future."

Cheng Zhijie was surprised: "You really married his two daughters?"

Zhou Jinyan looked embarrassed and said, "You don't know?"

He thought it was no secret, everyone knew about it.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhijie didn't know, which was embarrassing.

"I know shit."

Cheng Chumo said enviously: "You brat, you actually married two princesses. Tsk tsk."

He stood up and looked at Zhou Jinyan up and down, stroked his beard and said, "I don't see anything special about it, why does His Majesty think so highly of you?"

Zhou Jinyan chuckled, "Maybe this is his personal charm."

Cheng Zhijie suddenly sneered, "It's quite charming, but I know King Wei well. Can you guess whether he can become the crown prince in the future?"

"Maybe."

"Let me tell you, if he becomes the emperor, no matter how you treat him today, you will die."

Zhou Jinyan frowned and said, "How can you see that?"

"Just because you married two princesses and didn't make it public, that's enough to kill you."

Zhou Jinyan silently digested his news.

"I, Old Cheng, can see it. It's impossible for His Majesty not to see it. Of course, you can't underestimate it, you must be able to see it."

Zhou Jinyan spread his hands, "I really didn't see it."

"Whether you see it or not, the problem now is that you can't let him be the crown prince."

Zhou Jinyan said: "It seems that this is not something I can choose?"

"Don't pretend to be confused."

Cheng Zhijie said: "Changsun Wuji is looking for you too, isn't he?"

Zhou Jinyan said: "He is looking for me. He just asked some questions."

"Forget it, I won't say these things. Anyway, I think His Majesty must have said something to you. Tell me, do you want you to lose the battle?"

Zhou Jinyan smiled, and said frankly, "It is so."

Cheng Zhijie smiled, his expression relaxed.

"You kid finally told the truth, haha, as expected, I can't stand it."

Zhou Jinyan was puzzled and said, "Didn't Chu Mo tell you?"

He thought Cheng Chumo had already told Cheng Zhijie about it.

Cheng Zhijie said unhappily: "He told me a fart, I don't know what ecstasy soup you poured into him, and you concealed it so deeply."

Zhou Jinyan: "..."

"You take Chumo to the battlefield."

Zhou Jinyan almost vomited blood, Changsun Wuji said this just now, and now Cheng Zhijie also said it.

"Isn't that appropriate?"

Zhou Jinyan said speechlessly: "It's a war, and you know it, it's a defeat. What should I take Chu Mo with?"

Cheng Zhijie said angrily, "Whoever says you must lose the battle."

Zhou Jinyan was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Zhijie smiled triumphantly, and said, "Now the problem is very simple, that is, as long as you let King Wei suffer, or lose face, and let the world know, your mission will be considered complete. Isn't it?"

Zhou Jinyan nodded and said, "Theoretically so."

"That's it."

Cheng Zhijie said: "So what you should think about is, is there any situation where you can lose the face of King Wei without losing the battle?"

Zhou Jinyan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to do it.

"I hope Uncle Cheng can give me some advice."

Cheng Zhijie smiled, "I don't know what to do for a while, but losing a battle is not an honorable thing. If you lose a battle, it will not affect you well. You have to think clearly."

Zhou Jinyan fell silent.

"No one in Chang'an knows that you are a little overlord, but if the little overlord is not overlord, then this reputation will be gone."

Cheng Zhijie had a half-smile, "Jinyan, although you are smart, you are young after all. Whenever others name a path for you, you have to go that way. Do you understand?"

After talking with Cheng Zhijie, Zhou Jinyan suddenly felt enlightened.

"It's up to people to make plans, and it's up to God to make things happen. The kind of results you want, you have to put in the kind of hard work. Of course, the advice His Majesty gave you is also a way, but have you ever thought about it? If you lose the battle, you will lose money." Have you determined the scope of it?"

"The consequences of this, and the impact on your reputation later. Have you thought about it? These are all things you should consider."

Zhou Jinyan took a deep breath and said with a smile, "After all, you didn't give me a way."

"It's a good way."

Zhou Jinyan rolled his eyes, "Is it a good road? Let me think about it. Do you think it's that easy to win a big battle? Tubo is not so easy to fight."

"If you win, you are a hero, if you lose, you are a bear."

Cheng Zhijie grinned, "Beauties love heroes since ancient times. If you become a bear, women will not favor you more in the future."

As he slapped his hands, Zhou Jinyan saw a group of girls rushing in before Zhou Jinyan could react.

Then in the hall, dancing began.
