Chapter 250 His plan
Chu Weijun married her?
Jiang Changle shook his head and laughed, "You lied."
This male clearly despised the original owner, and he must have been quite displeased with her, right? His brow hadn't relaxed since he entered the room.
It was definitely not because of nervousness, but because he was fed up with her various behaviors, such as pampering Chu Weifeng.
"Could it be that Your Highness also looks down on me, a foreigner?" Chu Weifeng clenched his left hand involuntarily, while his right hand raised the teacup to his mouth.
But he didn't drink it. The mist from the tea slowly rose, making him look a little ethereal.
Chu Weijun's appearance can be said to be quite outstanding, and his blue eyes as bright as sapphires make him exude a pure and mysterious temperament.
His body is somewhat fragile and sickly, which can easily arouse a woman's maternal side, making people want to take care of and love him.
Chu Weifeng was not in good health before, but he was just like a child who needed sympathy and pity from others, and was not that attractive to females.
On the contrary, Chu Weijun was able to fully display this weakness, so the several beastly husbands of the Jiang family were afraid that Jiang Changle's sympathy would inexplicably overflow, and they accepted this beastly husband without hesitation.
However, Jiang Changle was extremely sober. Gu Ci's appearance was also outstanding, and that person exuded a strange attraction. In the end, wasn't she indifferent?
It can be said that after her spiritual power becomes strong, few things can confuse her.
"I have no prejudice against anyone. Since you and I have that kind of relationship, we can't just ignore it. We have to find a way to solve this problem.
So, Master Chu, you can actually be more honest with me. At least we don't seem to have a conflict of interest at the moment. I believe we can find a peaceful way to resolve the difficulties."
Favors must be repaid, so why not just state a price and let the other party guess? It's a waste of time. Jiang Changle doesn't like doing inefficient things.
In the current situation, the Jiang family is a rare phenomenon. If they want to continue to develop, they will have to specifically go against those corrupt families and the upper class.
There are not many forces that can stand on the side of the Jiang family, so she wants to unite all the forces that can cooperate to fight against those old families and even other dynasties.
Just imagine, the Eastern Dynasty is in decline, and so many people are waiting to divide up this piece of fat meat, but Jiang Changle's eighty counties suddenly rise up strongly, which will definitely hinder the division of the Eastern Dynasty.
Therefore, the Jiang family was also in opposition to other dynasties, especially her workshop was the biggest fat piece of meat, and no one wanted to take a bite.
In this way, Jiang Changle also needs to cooperate with the forces of other dynasties to divide the forces of other dynasties.
However, she has not yet come into contact with other people, so she doesn't know whether Chu Weijun, who has half foreign blood, can be considered a foreign force.
During the years when the Chu family was in decline, where did he hide to develop so that he could provide food and fodder to the Black Dragon Guards?
Chu Weijun finally drank the tea and smiled for the first time today, "Oh, it's true that nothing can be hidden from Your Highness.
Jun came here this time with the intention of fulfilling his engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but now it seems that Her Royal Highness does not want to take another husband.
Then we might as well put this matter aside for now and make a decision after the princess recognizes Jun’s character.
There are more urgent matters at the moment. I wonder how much the princess knows about the situation on the northern battlefield?
If you don't take action, the Northern Dynasty army may really reach the Eastern Dynasty capital. Those officials in the capital and the inland army never care about this.
They continued to fight among themselves, vying for power and military strength instead of resisting foreign enemies. However, after the city was lost, it was always the residents of the border town who suffered.
Princess, I wonder if you know that my father is actually the prince of Beiluo, a small country in the northeast corner of the East Dynasty.
If the Northern Dynasty takes over five more cities of the Eastern Dynasty, it will be able to reach the border of the Northern Luo Kingdom, and my father's family will also suffer.
Since the fall of the Chu family, my direct lineage has been hiding in the northern cities to do business and communicate with Beiluo.
Now those cities are constantly being invaded, and our caravan can only retreat again and again, so Jun has to go south to look for the princess.
Moreover, the food that was given to the princess that year actually came from Beiluo Kingdom. Jun did not want Beiluo Kingdom to be in trouble, so he asked the princess to think of a solution.
Even if it weren't for the Northern Luo Kingdom, the Eastern Dynasty couldn't afford to lose its northern granary, otherwise it would be detrimental to the management of the army. The place where the Chu family once lived was one of the few large granaries in the Eastern Dynasty."
If not for justice, then for money and food. If it were Chu Weijun himself, he would definitely be tempted by that piece of fat meat. It's a pity that he is not strong enough, otherwise he would have declared himself king long ago, or annexed the north into the territory of Beiluo.
Jiang Changle finally understood Chu Weijun's intention. As the saying goes, men generally don't act on emotion, and most of the time they only care about their own interests.
Chu Weijun was indeed heading for the northern city, at least wanting to preserve the power of his Chu family. "What are your plans? Are you going to continue your business by relying on the city?
Or do you want to regain control of the military? Or perhaps, offer advice to the Northern Luo Kingdom?"
Only after knowing Chu Weijun's plan could Jiang Changle weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to do it or not? And to what extent should he do it?
"To be honest, I don't really want to get involved in the mess in the north. After all, human capabilities are limited. I just received eight cities as fiefdoms, and they need urgent management, and I'm short of manpower."
Chu Weijun also knew something about Jiang Changle's situation, so when he heard such an answer, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"So no one cares about the citizens of the north? Princess, that was once your father's base, and some members of the Ji family also have roots there~"
Since the death of her husband, the Fourth Princess has had a rift with the Ji family, and both sides have become increasingly distant from each other. Perhaps only Jiang Changle knows the grudges between them.
But Jiang Changle really didn't understand. The Ji family was the birthplace of the original owner's father, and she didn't know most of it.
Chu Weijun really knows how to cause trouble for others. Jiang Changle tapped the table and thought for a while.
"Let me find out first. I'll give you an answer after discussing it with the beast husbands."
If Chu Weijun wanted to cooperate in business with the Jiang family, Jiang Changle could agree immediately.
But the territory in the north is still too troublesome, and now is not the time. We must have a strong army and horses before going to fight to have a chance of winning.
But there is also the Ji family involved, which is really a headache. I will make plans after I get to know the Ji family from He Jing and Nanny Mu.
"Okay, Jun will stay in Jiuer County for a while. Princess, please let me know when you have made your decision.
If we go to the north to retake the city, Jun still has some ability to lead troops and is willing to be a pawn for the princess.
Furthermore, Princess, there's no need to worry about Jun getting too involved with Bei Luo. My father severed ties with them back then, and I'm also a citizen of the Eastern Dynasty now, so I know my place clearly."
