Chapter 65 Borrowing People's Lives

After Zhen Yu returned to the mansion, he went straight to the study room where the mansion was discussing affairs. After asking his servants to invite Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, the three brothers made secret discussions in the study room.

"Be that true to Fengxiao?"

Zhen Yan frowned slightly. Although he was shocked, the years of official training have enabled him to develop the ability to not show his emotions.

After getting Zhen Yu's affirmative answer, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. Zhen Yu was not in a hurry and let the two younger brothers think for themselves first. If there is no agreement in the end, he will persuade them.

After a while, Zhen Yao first asked, "Brother, how many people are with you when Fengxiao is here?"

"The two of them are just peerless warriors, one is Dian Wei and the other is Xu Chu. As expected, these two people were in the bloody battle between the East Gate of Luoyang that day." Zhen Yu said truthfully.

Zhen Yan sneered, "When filial piety and goodness is used, and the strange and righteousness is in harmony, I am afraid there will be at least ten people in secret to protect him. On this trip, he must have been ready to turn against my Zhen family. At that time, there may be another fierce battle. He led two people openly, but in fact he showed weakness."

Hearing the cold words of his second brother, Zhen Yu frowned and said, "I don't want to hear these. I just want to know your plans. As my brother, I will first express my opinion that although the Zhen family was a well-known wealthy family, it can only be called a wealthy family in Hebei. Now we are rich in the world, and 80% of them are given to the wine of Chuxiao. Now, Fengxiao has top strategists and peerless generals, and has more than 300,000 troops under his command to be wise and wise. Although there are many difficulties, I have confidence in him and will definitely succeed. If my Zhen family does not help Fengxiao today, I will feel ashamed for my whole life. Moreover, once the world is in chaos, you and my three brothers may not be able to defend this family business. Instead of being taken away, it is better to give it to him."

The elder brother's statement that was completely emotionally dominated made it difficult for Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao to accept. Zhen Yan said frowningly: "Brother, do you know that now it is not just giving home property to Fengxiao? If it is just family property, my third brother and I will never stop you. However, Fengxiao's plan is to die for a lifetime. If there is a slight difference, my Zhen family will not care about others, just five sisters, mother, and you and my brothers, may not die without a place to bury them."

Suddenly his expression became very harsh. Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan looked at each other in a tit-for-tat way and sneered: "Zhen Yan, don't think that you have been the prefect of Zhongshan for a few years, as if you have considered everything. You are right. Following Fengxiao may we lose our family and be killed all the families. But I ask you, can we enjoy peace forever without following Fengxiao? Humph, today Han Fu sent someone to lead a army of 3,000 to propose marriage. Is this a proposal? If Zi is alive today, he, as a state governor, dares to treat you, the prefect of Zhongshan.

, If the world is in chaos, do you think Han Fu will politely call you Zhen Taishou? Let me tell you, the troubled times are coming, and the only way out of the Zhen family is to rely on the warlords. At that time, no matter whether we are happy or not, we must hand over the monk's business. Will the Zhen family meet a warlord who will treat the Zhen family well in the future? I don't know whether the warlords that the Zhen family will be destroyed in the troubled times in the future, but I know, if I follow Fengxiao and lose, I know how I die!"

Perhaps it was because they had never seen the elder brother show such a firm side, and Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were both stunned, but after careful consideration of Zhen Yu's words, they both felt as if they were shouting.

Zhen Yan was still considering it, but Zhen Yao said first: "I think the words of my brother are reasonable. And we have to think of one thing, if our Zhen family does not help Fengxiao today, it would be like establishing an enemy first. Now the whole family will be in power, and Fengxiao will definitely treat my Zhen family well. If we are neither helping nor rebelling against him, then when we have to rely on Fengxiao in the future, we may be under someone else's roof. And if we rebel against Fengxiao, I think Fengxiao must have considered this situation. Even if we go to Luoyang East Gate again in Wuji County, he would have expected that my Zhen family will be spared? Well, if my Zhen family is safe and if Fengxiao is not dead, my Zhen family will face Fengxiao crazy counterattack in the future. Who is Fengxiao? The Wei family in Hedong and Tao families in Xuzhou are all lessons from the past."

Zhen Yan's brows frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhen Yao, what are you going to say?"

Zhen Yao smiled softly and said sarcastically: "I want to say that we have only two choices at this moment. We either help Fengxiao or kill Fengxiao. Help Fengxiao and share honor and disgrace with him. If Fengxiao can rule the world, the Zhen family will definitely play an important role in the world. Kill Fengxiao, haha, you need to kill with one blow. If you fail to succeed, then my Zhen family should spend all the wealth and hide their names."

With a long sigh, Zhen Yan stretched out his eyebrows and smiled at himself, "Brother and third brother want to help Fengxiao. If I don't agree, no matter how I deal with Fengxiao, the three brothers will be disloyal first."

With a sincere expression on his face, Zhen Yu said moved: "Second brother, I won't force you, I just hope you think it through. This is an opportunity and a gamble for my Zhen family. When we talked about the world, we often talked about the trend of the world. Didn't you often say that you should ask Fengxiao for advice? Now Fengxiao has made a choice, do you have anything to hesitate?"

Zhen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "For each other for a while, Fengxiao is now desperate. I am worried that he will fight to the death with a desperate mentality."

"Second brother, this is a bad word. Although Fengxiao has become the public enemy of the world today, he has no risk of life. In Xuzhou City and Luoyang City, Fengxiao is a life-and-death life. If he had not always calmly dealt with the death situation, how could he survive in desperate situations? I think Fengxiao's plan must have been carefully considered. How should the world be taken? He had already made a decision in his mind to create heroes in the times. If my Zhen family does not help Fengxiao today, I am afraid that the Zhen family will have to wait for death in the future."

Zhen Yao smiled casually at this moment. After he figured out the key points of the matter, he had no worries.

Besides, which man has no heroic dream?

Follow Guo Jia, I will never be lonely in this life.

Zhen Yan suddenly showed a helpless smile and pointed at Zhen Yao and said, "Third brother, I know that you highly respect Fengxiao in your heart. It's just a rebellion. My Zhen family will hand it over to Fengxiao."

However, Zhen Yao bowed to Zhen Yan obediently and said, "Congratulations to the second brother, I will definitely value the second brother in the future. This county prefect is a talent for the second brother."

He pointed at Zhen Yao and was amused and cried. Zhen Yan suddenly sighed again: "I don't know how my mother should explain it."

Zhen Yao shrugged and said relaxedly: "Discovering the world and the sea, and when the road is finished, my mother can only get angry and let it go."

Seeing that both younger brothers decided to assist Guo Jia, Zhen Yu smiled with relief and said to the two: "Since you and my three brothers have decided to serve Fengxiao, then I will tell Fengxiao the news. What should I do next? I have to follow Fengxiao's arrangements."

At this moment, the servant called Zhen Yu outside the door. Zhen Yu frowned and walked out of the study room. He only heard the servant report: "Master, the old lady calls you over."

Zhen Yu was about to walk towards the hall, but unexpectedly the servant stopped him and said, "The old lady is in the villa of the ladies."

He was so angry that Zhen Yu knew that it must be Guo Jia's encounter with the eldest girl intent was exposed, so he trotted and rushed towards his sister's residence in a villa without caring about his demeanor.

At this moment, in the pavilion of the villa, Zhen’s mother, Wang, sat opposite Guo Jia, and Zhen Jiang had been scolded by her and returned to the boudoir.

Guo Jia, who had a calm expression, felt very bitter in his heart: his future mother-in-law in name was reluctant to give him a cup of tea. It seemed that he had a deep prejudice against me.

Zhen's mother was angry and didn't speak, her eyes and eyebrows were lowered, and her graceful attitude showed the arrogant look of the rich.

When Zhen Yu came to his mother with a cold sweat and bowed, Zhen's mother snorted coldly, and said coldly without signaling Zhen Yu to sit down, "You are the eldest son of the Zhen family, and now the head of the Zhen family. You can decide on the matters of the Zhen family. Today, my mother only wants to ask you one thing, can I make the decision on Jiang'er's marriage?"

Zhen Yu knelt on his knees and said in panic: "How dare the child disobeys his mother? Let everything be decided by his mother."

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and righteousness. Those who are unfilial are not tolerated by heaven and earth. After the death of Emperors of Han in all dynasties, they would have the word "filial piety" before their posthumous titles.

Zhen’s mother snorted coldly, then looked up at Guo Jia and asked lightly: “Guo Jia, the master betrothed Jiang Er to you back then, but I, the one who is a mother, had no objection, because you were a talented man with a bright future at that time, but now four years have passed, not only have you achieved nothing but become an imperial prisoner in the court. Today you appear in the Zhen family. According to the reason, my Zhen family should escort you to the government. But considering the relationship between the past, my Zhen family will allow you to leave on your own.”

Guo Jia nodded sadly and said, "Lady Xie."

To be honest, when Guo Jia was a guest at the Zhen family, the old lady treated him very well. It is understandable that she is so cold now. Who would marry her daughter to an imperial criminal?

Guo Jia, who was about to get up and leave, was called again. Zhen’s mother continued, “Guo Jia, now you are a criminal offender in the imperial court. The Zhen family cannot marry your daughter to you. The engagement that year was officially cancelled today.”

He nodded with his eyes closed and sighed. Guo Jia got up and bowed to Zhen’s mother, saying, “Good Jia said goodbye.”

Guo Jia, who went out from the back door of Zhen's mansion, did not leave, but leaned against the wall in the corner outside the mansion and closed his eyes to rest.

"Little Grandpa, why haven't you left yet?" Xu Chu and Dian Wei were both puzzled. Standing in the corner outside the house, he had the illusion of stealing and not doing good things.

"Wait." Guo Jia said a word and stopped explaining.

About half an hour later, Zhen Yu came out of the back door and saw Guo Jia in a corner not far away at first sight. He walked forward and informed Guo Jia of the result of the secret discussion between the three brothers.

At this moment, Guo Jia said happily: "I will definitely live up to the Zhen family in this life."

Zhen Yu smiled and said, "Fengxiao, how should we do the next step?"

After pondering for a while, Guo Jia raised his head and smiled, saying, "In the current situation, the Zhen family must first be incompatible with me. I want to borrow a life of the Zhen family."

Zhen Yu widened his eyes and asked in a panic, "Who's life?"
