Chapter 227 Zhao Family Action
"You can't even catch a boat, so what are you doing for food?"
Qing Zihua's plan fell through, his eyes filled with anger.
He was almost able to kill Lin Xiaofan and capture Wen Yue alive to avenge the past few days.
At the critical moment, this group of people fell off the chain.
Everyone around them lowered their heads. Although they knew it was the ship's problem, no one dared to say anything.
Anyone who dared to say anything at this time would have offended Qing Zihua and would inevitably be beaten.
With his weak state, it would be bad if he died before he could take a breath while being beaten.
The dark night gradually faded away, and a ray of glow emerged from the sea and sky, like a lit torch, burning the abyss and the blue sky. Gradually, the sea and sky were burned into a bright red color.
The dawn light hit Lin Xiaofan's body, revealing half of his body. At this moment, several fish jumped out of the water in the distance.
The maid in pink clothes was still depressed because of what happened just now, and she hid in the corner angrily. But when the rays of light shone on the boat, she couldn't help but poke her little head out and look out.
All bad emotions were resolved at this moment.
"Husband, you are so beautiful."
Liu Sisi was also lying on the bow of the boat at this moment, with a smile on her lips, and secretly leaned towards Lin Xiaofan.
The sunlight shone on her face, making her pretty face blush.
The sun's rays spread toward the mainland and shined all the way to the capital. In an attic of the Zhao family, sunlight shines through the window and hits the desk.
Before the case, a middle-aged man kept looking at the bamboo slips in his hand with a sad look on his face. He sighed from time to time and murmured to himself:
"At the critical moment, the Shen family and the Qing family actually did something like this. What should we do?"
The man is in his sixties, his eyebrows are furrowed, his pale hair is spread around his waist, and his hands are constantly tying his beard. Just from his three-dimensional facial features, you can faintly see the handsome face of his youth.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door interrupted his train of thought, and a strong voice sounded outside the door:
"Dad, it's me."
Listening to this voice, the middle-aged man's eyebrows finally relaxed a little, but his face became more serious. First he stood up, tidied the desk and clothes, and then went to open the door.
The person outside the door resembles a man in three parts, with a handsome appearance and a somewhat messy hair blown by the wind. He must have been traveling in a hurry.
"Dad, I have good news for you."
"Ziyu, you are now the head of the family. You should be as stable as Mount Tai. How can you behave like this when you come here so fast?"
Zhao Qiankun looked serious and put his hands behind his back.
"Dad, I didn't expect you to see all this."
Zhao Ziyu smiled.
He made a point of smoothing his breath before knocking on the door, but he didn't expect to be noticed.
"I want to deceive you, but I'm still far from ready."
Zhao Qiankun snorted coldly, turned his back and walked towards the house with a smile on his lips.
The emperor loves the eldest son, but the people prefer the youngest son.
This Zhao Ziyu is his youngest son, and he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He learned all his skills when he was in his twenties.
For this reason, he had already defaulted to Zhao Ziyu as his heir. All kinds of resources were tilted towards him intentionally or unintentionally, and he was also extremely harsh on him.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhao Qiankun took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"Dad, do you still remember that there was a counselor named Lin Xiaofan during the First World War in Qingzhou?"
Zhao Ziyu sold it out first.
"Lin Xiaofan? In the battle of Qingzhou, Liang and Shang gathered [-] soldiers and horses, and more than a dozen generals. They had sufficient food and grass, sophisticated weapons, and the leaders were very steadfast. The Qingzhou army only had [-] soldiers, and they could not defeat Jianfeng and Zhao. After two more people, only one side of the city is left. According to common sense, if it takes one day or seven days, Qingzhou will be lost."
"At the critical moment, Lin Xiaofan made three strategies in a row. One strategy saved Jianfeng, one strategy defended the city, and one strategy defeated the coalition forces. Finally, he used some means to make the enemy give up their intention to fight again."
"This person is sixteen or seventeen years old and has such a great talent. We should try our best to make friends with him."
Zhao Qiankun expressed his opinion, smoothed his beard, and then frowned:
"What I'm worried about now is the affairs of the Shen family and the Qing family. This Lin Xiaofan is just a counselor, why should I mention him?"
Zhao Ziyu took a sip of tea, took out a piece of brocade silk from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Qiankun.
"This is from Xiaoshan Feige."
"New method of making salt?"
Zhao Qiankun read the brocade silk carefully, with a hint of excitement in his brows, and said slowly:
"You can give this a try!"
The last battle of Qingzhou was a big victory, and the status of the Jian family and the Zhao family in the court improved a lot. The head of the Chen family, Chen Mengnan, made a mistake again in front of the emperor, and the Chen family also fell silent for a while.
The Zhao family can take this opportunity to expand their power. But who would have expected that yesterday, the Shen family and the Qing family, who had always been outsiders, would suddenly form an alliance with the Chen family.
Although these two families did not have much power above the court, they were first-rate in business. Many of their Zhao family's industries have been hit. He has been worrying about this matter today.
If Lin Xiaofan could really make that refined salt, then his family would be able to make a fortune from it, and at the same time, they would be able to deal a severe blow to the Shen and Qing families.
Even if it fails, it will not cause any loss to their family. On the contrary, it will enhance their friendship with Lin Xiaofan.
"Dad, I have sent an order. The family will fully support Zhao Shan and make the refined salt as soon as possible. But there is one more thing I want to ask you for advice."
Zhao Ziyu then said:
"Guan Fengxue suddenly appeared in Qingzhou, and Lin Xiaofan took him in. At this time, the Chen family has regarded Lin Xiaofan as a mortal enemy and will definitely hunt him down. Should we send someone to protect him?"
"Wu Fengxue? It's Wu Fengxue who broke up with the Chen family when the capital was changing ten years ago!"
Zhao Qiankun lost his normal state, stood up slightly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Exactly."
Seeing Zhao Qiankun's appearance, Zhao Ziyu had a hint of doubt in his eyes. It had been a long time since he had seen Zhao Qiankun so glum.
Isn't the change in the capital the result of the struggle for the right to inherit the throne when the previous Emperor Qian died?
At that time, the five princes fought for the throne and finally failed. The two major families that supported the fifth prince at that time were also completely wiped out, leaving only eight of the ten major families in the capital.
He happened to be out of the capital at that time, and when he came back the overall situation had been decided, so he didn't know much about the matter.
That Guan Fengxue, after the great changes in the capital, broke up with the Chen family for unknown reasons, and finally escaped under the cover of night.
What he didn't understand was what exactly Guan Fengxue had done to the Chen family to make the Chen family hunt him down for ten years.
Moreover, Wu Fengxue defected from the Chen family back then and went to the Murong family, another aristocratic family with whom he had good relations.
The head of the Murong family has negotiated with the Chen family, and they can pay a high price to keep Wu Fengxue. But the Chen family paid no attention to it, like mad dogs, they only wanted to take Wu Fengxue's life.
