Xu Ke glanced around and suddenly lowered his voice. “You really think she has stabilized her position? How can Emperor Ling Hui tolerate a woman becoming the emperor and give away his hard-earned land? Just you wait. Before long, the southern frontier will be occupied by the Ling Kingdom’s army, and all of you who follow her will be executed one by one!”
As soon as he said this, Yan Da immediately shivered. His eyes widened in disbelief. “It shouldn’t be so easy to take her down!”
After all, it had taken Gu Chilie many years to take down the southern frontier.
Xu Ke said, “Emperor Ling Hui’s methods are impressive. He was originally a general and used troops like a god. If he personally led the troops, their morale would be greatly boosted. It’s just the southern frontier, so how can they not take down tens of thousands of soldiers?”
“When Emperor Ling Hui takes down the southern frontier, everything you have now will be for naught. Only idiots like you think that following a woman will have a good outcome.”
Xu Ke was a cultured person. Previously, he was an official. His words were very credible. The more Yan Da listened, the more flustered he felt. He muttered, “Then what should we do?”
He was still hoping to live a good life after he went out.
Xu Ke observed his facial expression and confirmed that the fish had bitten the hook. Then, he said unhurriedly, “I have a way to let your entire family retain their wealth forever and become officials! You can even become the most popular person in front of Emperor Ling Hui and be a huge contributor!”
“Emperor Ling Hui?” Yan Da was stunned. When he reacted, he said in disbelief, “You’re already a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river and can’t even protect yourself. You even want me to become the most popular person in front of Emperor Ling Hui and be a huge contributor. What a joke.”
“If you have the ability, why don’t you save yourself first!”
Faced with Yan Da’s question, Xu Ke said calmly, “Believe it or not, I’m just giving you a chance. If you miss it, it’ll be too late for you to regret it when I get out of here.”
Yan Da suddenly remembered that Xu Ke was from the 30 families of Qinghe. Perhaps someone could save Xu Ke.
In any case, it was not a loss for him to listen out to Xu Ke’s method. Yan Da asked, “What exactly is it? Lord Xu, can you tell me?”
Yan Da calling him Lord Xu meant that he desperately wanted to become a huge contributor. Such a person was the easiest to be used. It was also his only chance now.
Xu Ke looked around warily and muttered in a low voice for a while. Yan Da’s frown deepened. In the end, he said, “How can that work? Definitely not!”
Xu Ke said, “Are you willing to be locked up here for half a year? When you get out, according to the laws of the Carefree Kingdom, you won’t be able to find a good job. When the war starts, your entire family will be imprisoned. Do you want to live such a hard life? Or do you want to die?”
Xu Ke’s words made sense. No matter how good Carefree Kingdom was, it was just a small place.
It was just that the risk was too great. If things went wrong, his entire family might lose their heads.
Yan Da was really afraid, but he could not reject the opportunity to become a popular person in front of Emperor Ling Hui.
He said, “Let me consider, I will think about it…”
Yan Da did not sleep well that night. When he woke up with two panda eyes, he was informed that his wife had come to visit him in prison.
As soon as Xia Dongmei saw Yan Da, she cried, “Mother has been roped in by the second branch. We originally agreed to mortgage the house. When you come out, the money she placed in the bank can buy another big house for our entire family to live in. Now, they’ve forgotten that Doudou and I are still living in the apartment and suffering. When you come out, I’m afraid all the money will be gone.”
Hearing this, Yan Da’s expression suddenly changed. He said in disbelief, “No way! Mother dotes on us the most.”
Xia Dongmei snorted. “That’s when you’re useful. You’re useless now, and you won’t be able to find a good job when you come out in the future. Naturally, she won’t care about us anymore.” She cried again, “What should we do without a house? Doudou was mocked in school and was even bullied yesterday.”
Yan Da’s expression darkened. He slammed his fist on the table, causing the guard to give him a warning look.
At this moment, Yan Da made up his mind. He lowered his voice and said to Xia Dongmei, “Dongmei, I have a way to make our entire family rich.”
Xia Dongmei immediately pricked up her ears and asked nervously, “What method? What should I do?”
Yan Da glanced at the guard and said carefully, “Come and see me another day. I’ll tell you what to do.”
Xia Dongmei was anxious, but seeing that there were many guards here, she nodded and hurriedly said a few more words before leaving the visiting room at the appointed time.
When Yan Da returned to the cell, he immediately said to Xu Ke, “Lord Xu, I’m willing!”
Xu Ke was also feeling uneasy about whether Yan Da would take the risk. Seeing that he had agreed, he immediately felt relieved. While the guard was still not here, he pulled off a piece of white cloth on his body, bit his finger, and wrote a long string of bloody words on it.
He quickly handed the blood letter to Yan Da and deliberately said, “Your name is on it. After the matter is done, you will be a great contributor to Emperor Ling Hui!”
As if he had been guaranteed a bright future, Yan Da was overwhelmed with emotions.
He hurriedly hid the blood letter and said to Xu Ke, ’’If it succeeds, Lord Xu will be a great benefactor to our entire family. I will never forget it.”
Xu Ke smiled and leaned against the prison fence. “Come quickly, army.” He would be saved and become Emperor Ling Hui’s favorite.
Emperor Ling Hui would definitely give him an important position. Perhaps the entire southern frontier would be handed over to him to manage.
Yan Da, who was illiterate, was just a stepping stone for him.
Xia Dongmei could only visit Yan Da twice a month. She waited for a long time before finally meeting him again.
When she found out that Yan Da wanted to convince the second branch to get the grenade, Xia Dongmei’s legs went weak from fear. Her face was pale as she said, “Are you crazy? If you are caught, our entire family will be killed by you!”
Yan Da repeated what Xu Ke had said. “Do you really think that the Carefree Kingdom can resist the Ling Kingdom’s army with such a small number of troops?”
“But, but what if we die now?”
“Second Brother is in the army. Isn’t it easy to secretly take out a throwing grenade? When I come out of prison, you’ll be almost done preparing. Let’s set off for Ling Kingdom together and live a luxury life.”
“If the matter is exposed, you can pretend to not know anything. It’s just Second Brother’s own idea.”
This was a good point about Carefree Kingdom. A crime would not implicate the family.
Xia Dongmei felt a chill run down her spine. She did not expect Yan Da to be so ruthless. While she was hesitating, Yan Da said, “Don’t you want to become an official’s Madam and let Doudou become a young master?”
Xia Dongmei thought of the grievances her child had suffered over the past few days and immediately had the will and determination. Since Carefree Kingdom would be destroyed sooner or later, it might as well become their stepping stone.
Xia Dongmei and Yan Da looked at each other and reached an agreement. When she returned, she looked for Madam Qu and suppress her voice to say that the Carefree Kingdom was at war and sooner or later, it would be destroyed and everyone would perish.
Madam Qu was frightened and immediately asked, “Then what should we do? We can’t escape back now, right?”
