Chapter 333

"How would you know without trying? My relative is quite smart, and his eldest son also has strong ability; we can let them contact other nobles in my name."

"As long as we gather another two or three hundred thousand troops and attack the Xianyang Palace, we can force them to go back to protect Xianyang, and then we can take the opportunity to escape." Feng Feng Qiji said.

Meng Tian smiled 13, thinking you are too simple, right?

But he couldn't come up with a better way; if he didn't agree to Feng Feng Qiji's plan, it would show that he was not of one mind with them.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian agreed.

Soon, Feng Feng Qiji wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to his guest Ji Lin.

And Meng Tian found five experienced soldiers to go with Feng Feng Qiji's guest.

That night, the six of them walked out of the mountain under the cover of night.

Huashan is very big, and no matter how many government troops there are, they can't block it.

They blocked two main roads, and in other places, they just sent patrol teams to patrol.

Therefore, large troops are not easy to leave, but small troops are relatively easy to leave.

Even so, the six people were still very careful.

They first came to the side of a small path and then hid in the grass without moving.

It wasn't until a pillar of incense time had passed and they didn't hear any abnormal movement nearby that they quietly came to the small path.

After walking on the road for a while, a scout suddenly stopped and made a gesture.

Everyone stopped immediately and hid in the grass by the side of the road.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves came from the front.

A team of cavalry passed by quickly on the small path.

After the patrol team left, the six of them returned to the small path again.

Just like that, walking and stopping along the way, when the sky was about to brighten, they finally arrived at a place far from Huashan.

But they still didn't dare to relax their vigilance.

Because the management of the Great Qin was very strict, and the commoners could not move around at will.

If you need to go far, you need the township to issue a travel permit, stating where you are going and why.

If you walk outside without a travel permit and are discovered by the government, you will be arrested immediately.

So the six of them didn't dare to walk on the main road and chose to walk on some small paths.

Fortunately, Ji Lin was a local and was very familiar with the terrain here; in the afternoon of the second day, they finally arrived at the Cheng family.

Cheng Mansion, Cheng Cheng Xionglin and Cheng Ze looked solemn.

They had just met Feng Feng Qiji's men and had also read Feng Feng Qiji's handwritten letter.

This made them difficult.

You must know that Feng Feng Qiji's current identity is a rebel, and he will be beheaded if caught.

Anyone who has a connection with Feng Feng Qiji will be implicated.

As a distant relative of Feng Feng Qiji, they were originally unable to escape the relationship.

Fortunately, they had met Zhuge Liang as "envoys" for both sides some time ago, and Zhuge Liang stated that they would not implicate their Cheng family.

But now Feng Feng Qiji is playing this hand, wanting them to come forward to gather other nobles to lead troops to attack the Xianyang Palace; isn't this pushing them into a fire pit?

Cheng Cheng Xionglin got angrier the more he thought about it, and slapped the letter heavily on the table.

"Feng Feng Qiji is too much!"

"He didn't give us any benefits when he was the Prime Minister before, and now that he is in trouble, he thinks of us?"

"Not to mention whether we can gather two hundred thousand troops, even if we did, how can we attack the Xianyang City?"

"They want us to go to death to attract the attention of the government and create conditions for them to escape."

"Such selfish behavior is rare!"

Cheng Cheng Xionglin cursed.

"Father, keep your voice down, beware of walls having ears!" Cheng Ze reminded quickly.

Although Feng Feng Qiji's men were arranged to stay in the guest room, now there were only the father and son in the room.

Although this is the Cheng Mansion, it cannot be ruled out that there are ears and eyes arranged by Feng Feng Qiji.

If what they said was heard by Feng Feng Qiji's ears and eyes, it would be bad.

"Ze'er, what do you say?" Cheng Cheng Xionglin asked.

"Father, since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!"

"We must tell Prime Minister Zhuge about this to show our loyalty to the new Emperor!"

Cheng Ze said.

Cheng Cheng Xionglin thought for a while and nodded.

To be honest, he didn't want to betray Feng Feng Qiji.

After all, they are relatives.

But this time Feng Feng Qiji did something too unreasonable.

Wanting to push their Cheng family out to die, this didn't put him, Cheng Cheng Xionglin, in his heart at all.

If Feng Feng Qiji had clearly stated that they wanted the Cheng family to sacrifice a little, and then promised them what benefits. Or maybe he had helped the Cheng family a lot before, that would be understandable.

But Feng Feng Qiji didn't help the Cheng family much before, and now he didn't promise any benefits.

Just like this, directly letting the Cheng family die for Feng Feng Qiji, isn't this not treating the Cheng family as 030 people?

Why should others die for you, Feng Feng Qiji? What are you, Feng Feng Qiji, higher than the Cheng family?

"Ze'er, you go out in the name of contacting nobles, and then go to Prime Minister Zhuge, be sure to be careful not to be watched by Feng Feng Qiji's people!"

"They can't be the only one coming out of the mountain, but now only Ji Lin is meeting us, so others will definitely be guarding nearby."

"I think Feng Feng Qiji won't trust us either, so you must be careful when you go out!"

Cheng Cheng Xionglin said.

"I will be careful." Cheng Ze nodded.

"No time to lose, you go now." Cheng Cheng Xionglin said.

Cheng Ze left the hall and returned to his room.

He took out some pigments and glue and other items, and began to make up.

Before long, he turned from a young master into an ordinary middle-aged man with a beard.

Changed into the clothes of a servant, found a trusted subordinate, and the two pushed a manure cart and left the Cheng Mansion.

As soon as they went out, they were watched.

But those few people didn't follow.

Because they found that they were just two servants of the Cheng Mansion, and they were pushing a manure cart, so they didn't follow.

Cheng Ze and his trusted aide pushed the manure cart to the field, and seeing no one around, they entered the forest and rushed to the Xianyang Palace..

185. Cheng Ze's request

Arriving at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Ze stated his identity to the guards.

Because he had been to the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and Zhuge Liang had also told the guards here that they could lead him in.

So he was led in very smoothly.

After meeting Zhuge Liang in the hall, Cheng Ze told about Feng Feng Qiji sending someone to pass a letter to the Cheng family.

"He is at the end of his rope." Zhuge Liang was secretly happy.

Feng Feng Qiji's ideas were simply not feasible; those people could come up with such ideas, which showed that they had no other way.

"The Prime Minister is right, even if we do as he says, it won't succeed." Cheng Ze said.

"Your Cheng family did very well, I will ask for merit for you from the Emperor." Zhuge Liang said.

"Dare not, we are just following the trend. If possible, please use our merit to reduce the guilt of the Feng family a little bit." Cheng Ze said.

"I understand your thoughts, but Feng Feng Qiji has committed such a rebellious act, it is difficult to escape guilt. When the time comes, I will explain your thoughts to the Emperor, and let the Emperor decide." Zhuge Liang said.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Cheng Ze said gratefully.

"By the way, there is one more thing you need to do." Zhuge Liang told Cheng Ze his idea.

His strategy was very simple, which was to let Cheng Ze do as Feng Feng Qiji requested, but don't be too diligent when lobbying those nobles, just lobby casually.

The main purpose of doing this is to give Feng Feng Qiji and the others hope, so as not to let them jump over the wall in a hurry.

Although they jump over the wall in a hurry, they can't turn the sky, but those hundreds of thousands of troops still have some value.

It is best to be able to persuade those troops to surrender or capture them.
