Chapter 169: Disaster is imminent, the backbone of the Cui family?
Jizhou, Xindu.
At the governor's mansion, looking at the handwritten letter from his son Ye Feng in Zuo Ci's hand, Jizhou Governor Ye Zhang fell into hesitation.
"Master Zuo, you should be aware of the influence of the Cui family in Bo Ling. The influence of the Cui family in Bo Ling is second only to the Yuan family in Runan, which has three dukes for four generations."
"If we take action against the Cui family, the whole world might be turned upside down!"
"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Feng'er has really made up his mind?"
"Will the world really be in chaos?"
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Inspector Ye knows best what our lord is capable of."
"Since last year, everything I planned has come true and everything I predicted has come true."
"Is he someone who changes his mind easily?"
"If Governor Ye does not cooperate, this matter will still proceed. The only difference is that it will take more time."
Ye Zhang understood what Zuo Ci meant. He was silent for a long time and nodded slowly: "This position of governor was won by Feng'er. He is my only son. How can I not support him with all my strength?"
"I'll listen to you."
Zuo Ci raised the corner of his mouth: "In fact, the governor does not need to do too much."
"That's all."
Having said this, Zuo Ci moved closer to Ye Zhang and whispered a few words.
Even though he was prepared, Ye Zhang still looked uncertain: "Isn't this too loud?"
"Catch all the Jizhou noble families in one fell swoop?"
Zuo Ci gave Ye Zhang a reassuring look: "When has that kid ever suffered a loss?"
"Don't worry, the impact is under control."
Ye Zhang pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Yes, from the beginning, we were destined to go the opposite way."
"Military forces anywhere in the state are at your disposal."
Zuo Ci nodded, bowed, and was about to leave.
Ye Zhang held Zuo Ci, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes: "Master Zuo, cut the grass and root it out, don't be soft-hearted, don't be soft-hearted!"
In an instant, Zuo Ci seemed to feel that the person in front of him was Ye Feng.
He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I am acting on behalf of heaven, how could I feel guilty and show mercy?"
Bo Ling, Cui family.
Early in the morning, Cui Jun, who had just gotten up from bed, felt a sense of unease for some reason.
Before I had breakfast, I heard hurried footsteps.
"Father, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Seeing his son Cui Wen rushing in so hastily, Cui Jun, who was already feeling uncomfortable, frowned slightly and scolded him sternly: "Our Cui family has lasted for hundreds of years and has experienced countless storms. As the eldest son of the Cui family, you need to stay calm at all times and not panic."
"Otherwise, if even the head of the family gets into trouble, what will the other servants think?"
"External enemies are not to be feared; what is to be feared is the disunity of the people within."
"Understand?"
If this truth had been said in the past, Cui Wen would have tried his best to remain calm and behave well in front of his father.
But today.
He did not bother to adjust his state of mind. As soon as Cui Jun finished speaking, he could not wait to speak: "Father, the 100,000-strong Wuhuan army was annihilated, and Qiu Liju was killed by Ye Feng with a single spear."
"Gongsun Zan led 60,000 elite soldiers to attack Fanyang City that night, but Ye Feng had already laid a tight net inside the city."
"After a bitter battle, Gongsun Zan committed suicide, and all his followers surrendered to Ye Feng."
"Nowadays in Youzhou, or even Hebei, there is no one who can compete with Ye Feng."
"Ye Feng is the well-deserved overlord of Hebei!!"
A series of information flooded into Cui Jun's mind like a tide.
Cui Jun felt dizzy and his vision went dark. He staggered and sat down backwards.
Cui Ping was shocked: "Father, father!"
"Someone, call the doctor, quickly!"
"Hurry!" A flurry of hurried voices came from outside.
Cui Jun quickly raised his hand: "Don't let anyone in."
"Don't"
Cui Ping breathed a sigh of relief: "Father, are you okay?"
"I thought you had fainted and was about to call for help."
Cui Junqiang perked up: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"
"How could Gongsun Zan be defeated so quickly?"
Cui Ping told all the news he had received from Fanyang City in detail.
After finishing his story, Cui Ping said anxiously, "Ye Feng's ability to plan ahead of time proves that he has found clues in Fanyang City. If this involves us, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
"Father, I think we need to hide."
"Go south immediately, leave Jizhou, leave Hebei."
Cui Jun raised his beard and glared: "The Boling Cui family is famous, but they were frightened by a brat and fled south with their entire family. Isn't this a great shame?"
"You can say such a thing, don't you feel ashamed of your ancestors?"
Cui Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Father, you have always looked down on Ye Feng and don't really understand what he does."
"This person is sinister and vicious. Once he takes action, he will show no mercy. He always cuts the grass and root it out, leaving no future troubles."
"Our Cui family is located on the territory of his father and son, and now they are plotting against him. How can Ye Feng let it go?"
"Where there is life, there is hope!"
"Don't put your family in danger just for a moment of loyalty."
Cui Jun, who was originally full of anger, looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar son, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He subconsciously patted his son on the shoulder and said, "That's a very good point."
"No matter what time it is, the continuation of the family is the most important. As long as there is a breath left, the Cui family will be revived and will still be the leader among the noble families in the world and the leader among the noble families in the north."
"It seems that all my efforts over the years have not been in vain!"
"You must immediately head south to the place where the princes are meeting and spread the news that Ye Feng wants to rebel and claim the throne."
"Remember, no matter what, you must protect your life. You are the last hope of the Bo Ling Cui family!"
"Understand?"
Cui Ping was stunned and said anxiously: "Father, there is still time, our family can still leave."
"If you are afraid that you will be too conspicuous, I can take irrelevant people with me to distract Ye Zhang and Ye Feng. You can take the core members of the family and leave. Quickly!"
"I'll have someone pack up right away!"
Cui Ping became more and more anxious, but Cui Jun in front of him did not look anxious at all.
But Cui Jun slowly shook his head: "Ping'er, listen to me first."
"The Cui family is too big a target. I'm afraid they have long been under surveillance by Ye Zhang and Ye Feng, father and son. If the whole family moves now, no one will be able to cross the Yellow River."
Cui Ping was stunned: "Father, then I can"
Before he could finish his words, Cui Jun stroked his beard and said with a calm smile: "Man proposes, God disposes. Not to mention that the Cui family has not encountered a disaster yet, even if a war really came, how could the Cui family be afraid?"
"The Cui family's backbone cannot be bent, and as the head of the family, I cannot be afraid of death!"
"Before, I was worried that there would be no successor to the Cui family, but now I feel at ease."
"Ping'er, you are more cautious and steady than me. I believe that under your leadership, the Cui family will definitely surpass any other aristocratic family."
"Father!"
"I"
Cui Jun touched his head and said, "Let's go!"
"Don't waste time."
"Go!"
