Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 2019: Dilemma, Timing (Subscription Request)

But there is a saying that knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. It is simple to know this truth, but it is not easy to do it.

Take what Lei Chongmao said, and propose peace talks to Meng Zhao, or even surrender.

Not to mention whether you are too flattering and put yourself in an extremely low position, it will be difficult to succeed just because of the external pressure.

If the Lei family really did this, what would Beitang Shu think, and what would the Beitang royal family think?

There is also internal pressure. Can the Lei family members accept it?

Take the incident of the secret realm of the cave for example, it caused quite a stir and even created a rift between father and son. It is conceivable how great a shock it would cause if Lei Wanche said that he would surrender to Meng Zhao and submit to the Meng family, his old rival.

Of course, Meng Zhao should be happy to accept them.

The Lei family and the Meng family are the two leading families in Jizhou, with a huge lead. If one of them admits defeat and submits to the other, it will easily give birth to a large family that sits in one of the ancient nine states, which will be much more terrifying than the ordinary nine-surname families.

Meng Zhao and the Meng family would probably wake up laughing in their dreams, as they could take down the Lei family without bloodshed, greatly avoiding losses on both sides and concentrating their superior resources to achieve more, better, and stronger.

Of course, in contrast, the Lei family will completely displease the Beitang royal family, and perhaps even become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Beitang royal family, and their priority for being targeted and eliminated will be higher than that of the Meng family.

After all, Meng Zhao at least has a Meng Zhao, so what does their Lei family have?

"I have thought about what you said. From Meng Zhao's character, I agree with you. He will accept the Lei family, and he will also accept you and me. Because compared with the huge power and foundation of the Lei family, our assassination of him is really insignificant.

Meng Zhao is not someone who easily acts on impulse, so he will definitely make the choice that is most beneficial to himself."

In fact, for a long time, the Lei family was in a state of panic due to Meng Zhao's existence, fearing that Meng Zhao would come to avenge the assassination at any time.

But Meng Zhao remained inactive, and the Lei family knew that the Northern Meng Dragon King was not the kind of person who would act on impulse and would not seek revenge if he was wronged.

"But if we do this, we will definitely not be able to bear the pressure from the royal family, and Meng Zhao will definitely not break with the royal family in advance just because of our loyalty. Do you understand?"

Lei Chongmao seemed to be thinking about something, but Lei Wanche did not reject the possibility of this idea. He was just talking about some inconveniences faced by the Lei family.

If they do it, there is a possibility of success, and the possibility is very high, but the consequences are something they cannot bear.

Even if they surrendered to Meng Zhao and solved the hidden danger of facing this divine man sent from heaven, what they would soon face was the calamity of the Beitang royal family.

So in comparison, Lei Wanche chose to go a step further and seek refuge with the royal family in exchange for the opportunity to gain royal protection.

This is the sadness of the weak, who can only be swept away by the times and float in the waves, but have no possibility of controlling their own destiny.

But it's a question of timing.

Meng Zhao represents the hidden dangers in the future.

The Beitang royal family represents the current, immediate threat.

In order to survive, they have to choose the Beitang royal family, but if they want to survive in the long run, they will have to reach that step sooner or later.

"So, father, what you're saying is that the timing is not right?"

"Zhongmao, remember, when Meng Zhao and the Meng family no longer shy away from fighting with the Beitang royal family, and even openly compete with them, it means that the time has come. At that time, we can also choose the next step."

"But before that, you are absolutely not allowed to have anything to do with the Meng family."

This is Lei Wanche’s wisdom.

Originally, he would not have such distress, but who made him be born in such an era and meet someone like Meng Zhao?

“I don’t know when that day will be, and I don’t know if there will be any accidents during this period.

So, I want to warn you, if you are not sure and before Meng Zhao makes a promise, you cannot just dive in headfirst without leaving any way out.

Moreover, if you really want to surrender to Meng Zhao and submit to the Meng family, you have to complete an indispensable process. " Lei Wanche didn't finish his words, but looked at Lei Chongmao, obviously wanting to test the heir of the Lei family.

Lei Chongmao was a little confused at first. What kind of process is needed for this? And it is indispensable?

Then, he realized that this was the point that Lei Wanche had mentioned before, which made him very disgusted.

"Father, you mean, a marriage?"

His thoughts turned quickly. Meng Zhao's promise was actually not reliable. Only practical things and practical relationships could guarantee the relationship between them.

Marriage is undoubtedly a very important process.

Moreover, he also realized that this marriage must be with Meng Zhaona's Lei family's legitimate daughter, and even have children in the future, only then can all the ups and downs of the past be truly put behind them.

Only in this way can we truly entrust the Lei family to Meng Zhao and fight for the next future under him.

Otherwise, those in higher positions would maintain an absolute advantage over those in lower positions and could easily destroy the Lei family without any temper.

In Lei Chongmao's view, such behavior is of course shameful.

The Lei family is a century-old marquisate that once shared equal power with the Meng family, but now they have to rely on selling their daughters for fame and fortune to secure security.

It has been humbled to the dust.

In an instant, anger surged to his head and his temples began to throb.

But Lei Wanche's next words dissipated all his anger.

"Yes, it is an alliance, Chongmao, don't feel ashamed, this is life, this is reality, helplessness and reluctance are all normal.

Think about it, if there was no marriage, even if our Lei family surrendered in exchange for the forgiveness of Meng Zhao, who had achieved great success in martial arts, how credible would the other party's words be?

Well, even if he is really a sincere gentleman and is really willing to keep his promise, you must not forget that Meng Zhao is not alone, and there are still different people working under him.

My Lei family has no status as an in-law, and we joined with the identity of assassinating Meng Zhao. It is inevitable that we will be excluded. In the future, no matter how hard the Lei family tries, it is certain to decline.

However, if we become relatives by marriage, and my daughter from the Lei family becomes a member of Meng Zhao’s harem, that would be very different.

No one will exclude us. We are all at the same starting line. What happens in the future depends on how we each handle it.

Tell me, is this marriage necessary?"

Lei Chongmao sighed, and his whole body relaxed in an instant, like a deflated ball.

“Of course, these are possibilities that need to be considered only in the long run.

What if something happened to Meng Zhao during this period?

Or maybe, the Beitang royal family is gone?

In short, we must take advantage of the situation and timing is the most important.

Look back, don’t let what you see in front of you blind your perspective…”

Lei Wanche's earnest teachings can be said to have used up all his patience.

But for the future of the Lei family, Lei Chongmao must stand up.

This is his destiny.
