Chapter 285: Chen Yan's handwritten letter

"Handwritten letter?"

"Chen Yan's handwritten letter?"

Chen Tongyuan repeated in a murmur, looking at the calm Li Zhuan. The hand behind his back suddenly tightened, his knuckles pressing against the jade belt under his brocade robe, the cold jade buckle hurting his palm, "What kind of tricks is that evil obstacle trying to play again!"

The sound of the soldiers' armor leaves was clearly protecting him, but now it sounded like a drumbeat urging his life, knocking his temples until they jumped.

A bad premonition emerged uncontrollably and crazily......

"I don't know what orders the Heir has!"

The leading Chen Zhunxu and Chen Tong exchanged a look, took half a step forward, saluted Li Zhuan, stared at that "handwritten letter," and said in a low voice.

They were private soldiers and house slaves left by the Old Master, so their loyalty went without saying.

But they would all weigh the pros and cons......

After all, both sides were masters, and the younger one was even more wise and martial, and even more like the Old Master.

"Chen Zhunxu, what do you mean by this!"

Chen Gubai saw this, his cheeks flushed red, the veins on his forehead jumping, and his teeth chattered as he spoke: "Could it be that you want to change your allegiance!"

"Please, Mirror Master Li, give instructions!"

Chen Zhunxu ignored the stern reprimand and continued to speak on his own.

"The Chief's handwritten letter, read it for yourselves!"

Li Zhuan handed the letter to Cui Hongdu, who passed it up.

After Chen Zhunxu received it, he opened it without any hesitation and read it with the people around him.

This handwritten letter was over a thousand words long, the content was very simple, the wording was extremely sincere, affirming their achievements, contributions to the Duke's mansion, and offering recruitment.....

As well as various promises made to them and their descendants!

Including but not limited to: gold and silver, farmland, women.....

"Everyone, do you know what is most important in a person's life?"

Li Zhuan cleared his throat, looked around, and said loudly: "It is to make the right choice and stand in the right line!"

"You should also know that the old troops of the Old Pillar of State have already chosen your Heir, so what are you still hesitating about?"

This time it wasn't that Chen Yan forgot to instruct Li Zhuan to use dizzying drugs and soft-sinew powder to minimize losses.....

But specifically didn't use drugs, and even instructed to let the private soldiers in.

Because Chen Yan never wanted just this mansion, that empty title.....

But people, everything left by the Old Master!

Inherit everything and become the new Pillar of State!

Chen Zhunxu, Chen Tong, and others looked at each other, not saying a word, but they were clearly shaken.

They had no reason to refuse everything in that handwritten letter!

Li Zhuan captured the expressions of these private soldiers and struck while the iron was hot, continuing: "Don't do meaningless resistance, increasing unnecessary casualties, a better future is placed in front of you!"

"Within reach!"

After speaking, he suddenly raised his hands and clenched his two fists.

"Mirror Master Li, are the promises made by the Heir in the letter true?" Chen Zhunxu was silent for a long time, holding that handwritten letter tightly, his eyes full of hard-to-hide excitement, and confirmed.

Chen Zhunxu wasn't questioning, but it was too generous.....

Far exceeding the treatment given by the current Wei Duke, by several times!

"Chen Zhunxu, don't believe Chen Yan's bewitching words!"

Chen Tongyuan saw this, grabbed Chen Zhunxu's arm, his knuckles sinking into the gaps of the other's armor from the force, his voice carrying a tremor he hadn't noticed himself: "What he gives you, I will give you ten times!"

At that moment, Chen Tongyuan was truly panicked.....

These private soldiers were clearly moved by Chen Yan!

If he didn't do anything again, he wouldn't even have his last reliance!

"Hahahaha!"

Li Zhuan laughed heartily, as if mocking Chen Tongyuan, then looked at Chen Zhunxu and asked: "You must have heard of your Heir's reputation in Chang'an, right?"

"We are all family, would he treat you badly after you turn to the light?"

"It will only be more generous!"

Chen Zhunxu, Chen Tong, and others heard this, all nodding involuntarily, agreeing: "Indeed, the Heir is famously good to his own people!"

On the importance of persona, it was completely smashed out with real gold and silver.....

Not inferior to Old Liu's top-tier succubus.

Li Zhuan tapped his forehead with his right index finger, as if remembering something, and laughed: "Oh right, your Heir is also the only successor appointed by the Old Pillar of State Chen!"

Immediately, he nudged his chin toward Chen Gubai, and continued: "Everyone, do you really want to abandon a wise master and serve a master as stupid as Chen Gubai in the future?"

Once these words came out, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, successfully eliminating the last hesitation in the hearts of these private soldiers.....

They were the Old Master's soldiers, and the Heir was the successor set by the Old Master, so what change of allegiance, what betrayal?

Only the thorough implementation of the Old Master's will!

"Many thanks to Mirror Master Li for the guidance!"

Chen Zhunxu's eyes were filled with determination, and he said sternly: "I, Chen Zhunxu, am willing to die for the Heir!"

"I, Chen Tong, am willing to die for the Heir!" Chen Tong followed closely.

"I....."

Good birds choose trees to perch on, and the private soldiers of the Duke's mansion decisively made their choice.

"You.... you..... things that eat inside and out!"

Chen Tongyuan suddenly roared, his chest heaving violently, a wheezing sound coming from his throat, his voice as hoarse as if ground by sandpaper: "Are you worthy of the Old Master!"

He looked like he was in a state of incompetent rage.

But Chen Zhunxu and the others didn't even look at him.

"Everyone, please step back and attend to your duties first!"

Li Zhuan waved his hand and laughed: "After this matter is over, the Chief will come to visit everyone!"

"Yes."

Chen Zhunxu and the others nodded and quickly exited the main hall.

"Wei Duke, are you still prepared to continue resisting stubbornly?"

Li Zhuan walked to Chen Tongyuan, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes full of teasing, and asked with his head lowered.

His eldest brother specifically instructed to do these things in front of Chen Tongyuan......

It was to kill the heart!

Let the Wei Duke watch everything he possessed being taken away bit by bit, yet be unable to do anything.

"Good, very good!"

Chen Tongyuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a low voice: "Chen Yan is truly powerful!"

"I don't believe he really dares to kill me!"

While Chen Tongyuan was extremely confident, Chen Gubai was very panicked.

Chen Yan didn't want to bear the infamy, so he wouldn't kill his father, but he dared to kill him!

This younger brother of his had many conflicts with his legitimate eldest brother, and there were too many grudges.....

"Escort the Wei Duke father and son back to the Mingjing Si!" Li Zhuan patted his robe and said, "Take them away!"

"Yes."

The Embroidered Attire Envoys on the left and right responded and moved, escorting Chen Tongyuan father and son as they walked out.

"Hongdu, come here!" Li Zhuan beckoned to the deputy envoy.

"My Lord, what are your orders?" Cui Hongdu walked up and bowed, asking.

A flash of cunning passed through Li Zhuan's eyes. He leaned close to his ear and ordered meaningfully: "You go and bring that person along too......" ===== CHAPTER 286 =====
