After being read by the tyrant, the character of the little cannon fodder completely collapsed

Chapter 88 Gu, I want you to risk your life as a guarantee
However, he really couldn't go on this trip.

"Well, Your Majesty, I have just returned to Kyoto, and the army has to reorganize its regular ranks. I really can't leave..."

"Oh, that doesn't matter. Didn't Gu promote your son-in-law to the rank of general?" Chen Qianzhe smiled coldly: "When the general gets older, he will always let go of the young ones, so why not just give this to him?" Take this as an opportunity to let your son-in-law practice, after all, we are a family, so if you let him practice, you will not suffer any loss!"

At this moment, Chen Wangchuan suddenly realized something——

It seems that from Liao Hu's triumphant return to the current Salt Division dispatch, it was all a conspiracy carefully planned by the emperor's nephew.

When he was canonizing He Chongzhang's son-in-law, he had already planned for him to replace his old father-in-law.

Liao Hu also realized this, and his face instantly darkened: "Your Majesty..."

"General," Chen Wangchuan suddenly spoke, interrupting Liao Hu: "Since His Majesty has made arrangements, General, please don't refuse anymore!"

Now that the tyrant has reached this point in the chess game, he has already made all his plans.

Today, even if Liao Hu means breaking the sky, he has to hand over the military power to He Changzhang and go out with Ling Zaifu to investigate the Salt Division, otherwise he will be charged with the crime of being a hegemonic military talisman.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to follow Chen Qianzhe's wishes and go out first.

The regent had said so, and Liao Hu couldn't say anything, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Your Majesty has great love, and Ling Zaifu also trusts me, so I will take over this job and escort Ling Zaifu to inspect the Salt Division."

"Then, Gu, don't worry," a smile appeared on Chen Qianzhe's face: "But, General, I still have to say something first!"

"Your Majesty, please order!"

"This investigation of the Salt Department is probably going to be bad, but the General is not worried. After all, he is both civilized and military, and he has many connections around him, but this Ling Aiqing... he is a weak scholar!"

When Ling Zaifu heard this, he bowed and clasped his fists in cooperation, and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is worried because I am so weak, but your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I fight for my life and my old bones, I will still be able to do it." We need to investigate the Salt Division."

The tyrant and Ling Zaifu both said this, what can Liao Hu say?
Even a fool can hear the implication of the tyrant's words.

After coughing, Liao Hu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely protect Ling Zaifu!"

"Well, the general said that, I feel relieved," Chen Qianzhe tilted his head slightly and said calmly: "However, I still want you to pledge your life and promise to protect Ling Zaifu's safety and come back alive. !”

"……His Majesty!"

At this point, what else can Liao Hu say?
Did he say that he didn't dare to guarantee Ling Zaifu's life and death?

Certainly not!

Otherwise, you are shirking responsibility and asking for trouble!
At that moment, he kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I swear, I will do my best to protect Ling Zaifu Zhouquan!"

"No, it's not an oath, it's your life and the lives of your Liao family as a guarantee!"

Word by word, Yun Danfeng came out of the tyrant's mouth lightly, but every word pierced Liao Hu's heart.

"……His Majesty!"

"The importance of the Salt Division is just like the lives of two beloved princes. I can't bear to let go of any of them. Therefore," Chen Qianzhe's smile remained the same, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "General, I want you to be with the whole family 730 The names of the seven people guarantee that you will come back alive with Ling Zaifu, otherwise..."

His smile gradually faded, and there was a cold murderous intent in his eyes: "Gu, use all the heads of your Liao family to sacrifice Ling Aiqing!!"

"..."

The faces of all civil and military officials in the court changed at the same time.

Especially Chen Wangchuan.

The eyes looking at the emperor's nephew were full of doubts.

He didn't expect that Chen Qianzhe would play like this!
He was able to use the lives of more than 700 people in the Liao family to force Liao Hu to protect Ling Zaifu.

In this way, anyone who wants to assassinate Ling Zaifu, including Liao Hu himself, must consider the more than 700 people in his family!
Liao Hu's face was extremely ugly, but he was not qualified to refuse.Because the tyrant's surly and murderous character returned again at this moment.

"Minister, take the decree!!"

"Then, you can rest assured," Chen Qianzhe's smile appeared on his brows again: "Now, are there any other important things to deal with?!"

"..."

-

Lingfu.

Ling Xi sat cross-legged in the wicker chair silently, watching her old father pack up the books he was going to take with him when he left home.

"Dad, actually, you don't have to wade into the muddy waters of the Salt Division."

"Didn't Dad say that? In some things, merit can be exchanged for life." Ling Zaifu took the book off the bookshelf, wiped it clean, and put it into the box: "Didn't you say that our Ling family will be here on the third day?" Will the whole family be destroyed in the next year? If I can accomplish this, I will have more bargaining capital with His Majesty!"

"But……"

"Don't worry, I remember everything you told me. I will use the ones that can be used, and I won't keep the ones that can't be used."

Ling Xi told him a lot about Yan Si.

He didn't understand some of these things, but he guessed that they might happen in the future, so he kept them in his mind.

He smiled and said: "Besides, Liao Hu is going with me this time, and the three of you will also go with me. With them watching, what are you worried about?! It's you..."

He suddenly thought of the tyrant's poisoning, and his smile sank: "Your eldest brother and second brother are tied up by something, so they can't come. They are alone in Kyoto, and the Queen Mother plots against you like this. You..."

"Don't worry, Dad, no one but Your Majesty or the Queen Mother can touch me."

"She can't touch you, but she can still kill you!" Ling Zaifu put down his things, walked to his daughter, and rubbed her head helplessly: "You are still young, and you have never seen the dirty tricks of the harem. , I’m afraid that the Queen Mother won’t do it herself, but will use the harem to deal with you!”

"I'm not His Majesty's harem, how could she touch me?" Ling Xi smiled brightly: "Also, she has banned me from entering the harem anymore, so the intrigues in the harem can't be traced to me!"

Ling Zaifu wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Just as he didn't understand what Ling Xi meant by the "plot", she also didn't understand how shameless the Queen Mother's methods would be.

Only by experiencing these things personally can you understand their meaning.

When you have no experience, everything you say is just talk on paper, and it is useless.

He could only pray that after he left, the Queen Mother would focus on the court affairs and let Ling Xi, the "waste", go.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that Ling Xi wouldn't be able to fight that old woman.

-

The Queen Mother's Palace.

"Ling Zaifu actually patrolled the Salt Department for His Majesty!" The Queen Mother turned the blooming peonies in her hands and smiled: "He is paving the way for his daughter to enter the palace!"

"This old fox never takes sides, but I didn't expect that this time he would risk losing his head to patrol the salt!"

"He wants to be the head of the state, but let's make him unable to do so!"

The Queen Mother picked up the scissors and cut off the flower stem with a click.

"Notice it down, we can take action!"
