Chapter 82

Duke of Ding's Prefecture, inner courtyard.

"Father, Yang'er wants to scheme against the Prince of Rong. Are we really not going to intervene in this matter?"

Gao Feng looked at Gao Tianlong, who was slowly wiping the chessboard, his face filled with solemnity.

Gao Tianlong said indifferently, "What is inappropriate about it?"

"The Prince of Rong holds great power in the court, with countless followers. He has significant prestige both in the court and the military. Although Yang'er has methods in using schemes, how easy is it to topple the Prince of Rong?"

Gao Tianlong's movements paused. He raised his eyes, and suddenly, an endless sharpness swept over.

"The Prince of Rong is already riding on the head of my Duke of Ding's Prefecture to defecate; does my Duke of Ding's Prefecture still have to endure it?"

"Hmph!" Gao Tianlong snorted coldly, his face showing displeasure.

Gao Feng hurriedly said, "Father, that is not what I meant; I am just a bit worried."

"After all, in court struggles, one careless move leads to total defeat. Yang'er is still too young, and the court is too sinister; we cannot be careless."

Gao Tianlong looked at Gao Feng with displeasure, "You underestimate Yang'er too much. Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident."

"But to be able to catch the Emperor's eye, resolve the locust plague in Guanzhong, and use the momentum of the court to expel Wang Zhong—such methods are already not inferior to those old foxes in the court."

"Now, while I am still here to provide support, it is the perfect time to test Yang'er's methods. This is something I have dreamed of!"

Gao Feng took a deep breath and nodded, "Then I will immediately allocate one thousand taels of silver from the prefecture and send it over."

After speaking, Gao Feng made a move to leave.

But Gao Tianlong was stunned, "Wait, why allocate one thousand taels of silver?"

Gao Feng was also confused, "Didn't Father ask me to allocate some silver for Yang'er to deal with the Prince of Rong's Prefecture?"

"I never said that."

Gao Feng's expression changed, and he became instantly furious, "This unfilial son, he even deceived his own father!"

One careless moment, and he almost fell for it.

But Gao Tianlong laughed, finding it increasingly interesting, "Forget it, give it to him if he wants it. As long as he doesn't spend it on that little girl from the Song family, all this is fine."

"But I fear this unfilial son will head to the Rouge Pavilion as soon as he has money. There are many beauties in the Rouge Pavilion; I fear Yang'er cannot withstand it," Gao Feng said worriedly.

Gao Tianlong was indifferent, "A youth who isn't romantic is not a youth. It's fine if he goes to the Rouge Pavilion; it would be best if he loses his virginity and tastes the pleasures therein, so he won't be bewitched by that little girl from the Song family."

Thinking of Song Qingqing, Gao Feng also nodded, "Father, I will make the arrangements."

Gao Tianlong added, "Give the order: tomorrow I have invited several friends to the prefecture to discuss military strategy. Let Yang'er wait on the side to learn. If the descendants of my Duke of Ding's Prefecture only know poisonous schemes but do not understand military strategy, wouldn't that be a laughingstock!"

A smile appeared on Gao Feng's face, "To be taught military strategy by the top generals of our Great Qian is his heaven-sent good fortune."

"..."

Soon.

Gao Yang received the one thousand taels of silver sent by Uncle Fu, which made him overjoyed.

He didn't expect that a casual remark would actually fool Gao Feng.

He immediately and generously took ten taels of silver and handed them to Lü Luo.

"The massage was good. This is a reward for you from me. Next time, I will still choose you."

Lü Luo had been feeling sore and was feeling miserable.
