After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

But Mrs. Chang refused without thinking: "How can we let you take advantage of yourself to save them? Xu Zhenying is only 14 or 15 years old, which is the age when he is full of vitality. How can you, an innocent girl, surround you all the time? Wandering around a man? Then if something happens in the future, my Chang family will not be drowned in saliva?"

Zhou Houfang smiled coldly in her heart, but did not show it on her face, "Mrs. Chang, if you are worried about this problem, there is no need. Firstly, Xu Zhenying is a woman. Secondly, Xu Zhenying is surrounded by mostly women."

"What!?" Mrs. Chang stood up in shock. Someone in the room also looked over in shock, "You said the rebel is a woman? A female rebel?"

She sat down again foolishly, "God, what kind of world is this? Even if women are exposed to the public, there are still women who dare to rebel?! Then do the people under her know about it, and the soldiers also know, Are they actually willing to listen to a woman?"

Zhou Houfang was bored, but had to deal with it, so she had to pretend to be ignorant, "I don't know about this, but today I see that the people under her are quite loyal to her, I think this woman is quite capable. So-called I don’t want to let the child go, but for the sake of my father and Uncle Chang, and also to save the Zhou and Chang families, the only way I can plan now is to pretend to commit myself to the thief first, and then plan a bigger plan!"

Mrs. Chang looked touched, and hurriedly took Zhou Houfang's hand affectionately, wiping her tears and said: "My dear child, I really wronged you! But... but... please let me think about it again. After all, you and Da Lang are about to get married. I I can’t just watch you go into that tiger’s den alone!”

Zhou Houfang sneered in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Chang was exactly the same as Chang Dalang.

The ruthlessness between the two mother and son is really carved from the same mold.

Isn't it just that she is afraid that the Chang family will be affected by the scandal in the future?

Don't be pretentious.

Zhou Houfang pretended to shed tears of gratitude on her face, "Madam, as long as I can rescue dad and Uncle Chang, I am not afraid of anything. As for the marriage, I need to break into the enemy camp as soon as possible after I enter the enemy camp. When the time comes, I will not be able to do anything at all. Besides, my father I'm still in jail with Uncle Chang, and I'm thinking to myself... Why don't we postpone the marriage?"

This is what Mrs. Chang wants!

Mrs. Chang was overjoyed. In this way, as long as Zhou Houfang did not marry into her Chang family, then the Zhou family would be responsible for everything that happened.

If Zhou Houfang really has the ability to rescue the master, then both families can keep their official positions. Maybe His Majesty will be overjoyed and reward the Chang family with some gold and silver items, and then marrying Zhou Houfang as his wife will not be a loss.

If Zhou Houfang is incompetent and the court pursues him, he will only be considered a thief from the Zhou family, not her Chang family!

Not to mention that as long as Zhou Houfang did not marry into the Chang family, she could use Zhou Houfang's public appearance as an unchaste person to ask for an annulment in the future.

After much thought, Mrs. Chang couldn't find a better idea.

She nodded with joy, but pretended to be sad, "Just like this, wouldn't it be too unfair to you?"

"It's not aggrieved. As long as I can save my father and uncle, how can Houfang feel aggrieved?"

"Since you have this intention, I have no choice but to fulfill it for you." Mrs. Chang wiped away the empty tears from the corners of her eyes, "Okay, let's postpone the wedding for now, and we can discuss everything after the two families get rid of this trouble. "

She patted Zhou Houfang's hand again and said affectionately: "Houfang, I have wronged you. If you really rescue your Uncle Chang, our Chang family will owe you a huge favor. In the future, if you get through, I will definitely Treat you like my own daughter!”

Zhou Houfang immediately acted shyly at the right time.

After sending Mrs. Chang away, Mrs. Zhou had a sad look on her face.

Mrs. Zhou's background is not obvious, but she has been exposed to it all year round. Naturally, she understands why Mrs. Chang immediately relented and no longer stopped Zhou Houfang from joining the rebellion.

If Zhou Houfang loses, his Chang family will immediately sever ties with them.

Only if Zhou Houfang wins, the two families may have a chance to become in-laws.

Mrs. Zhou complained a little, "You shouldn't have brought up the postponement of the wedding just now. If something happens in the future, with the temperament of your future mother-in-law, I'm afraid she will turn against her. She doesn't value this marriage at all. She is preoccupied with wooing her little sister from her natal family, Houfang, if you relax a bit, you may not even be able to keep your position as your legitimate wife."

Zhou Houfang didn't hide much from her mother, she just said: "Mother, of course I know this."

"Then you still..."

"Mother." Zhou Houfang interrupted her, then lowered her voice to avoid the servants, "Did you know that there are now 200,000 soldiers and horses of King Li in the south? There is also the rebellious Prince Ming, who is going all the way south. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are about to be in danger."

Mrs. Zhou was frightened when she heard this, "Why are you telling me this? It doesn't have to scare anyone."

Zhou Houfang's eyes were dark, "Mother, I just want to tell you that the world is going to be in chaos."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, "What does it have to do with us if the world is in chaos? How should we live our lives?"

Zhou Houfang smiled: "This is a good opportunity to make contributions."

"Building meritorious services? That's a matter for men. Girl, you've become wild after being out for a few days. If you have this time, you might as well think about how to please your future mother-in-law."

Zhou Houfang was noncommittal, just smiled but did not refute.

In troubled times, who will put eggs in one basket?

Mrs. Chang had her own plans, but how could she, Zhou Houfang, not have her own plans?

This was an opportunity, and she must seize it.

————————————————————

But thousands of miles away in Shouzhou, Feng'er was not so happy.

She cupped her chin and looked at Xu Huiming in front of her.

The man sat in front of her with a sullen face, as stubborn as he would sit until dawn today.

Wang Sanniang and others sat nearby, looking at the two of them with awkward expressions.

Feng'er sighed, and then said to Wang Sanniang: "Miss Wang, let's do this for today. I will come to you to take over tomorrow."

Wang Sanniang and her family just wanted to leave. Feng'er waved her hand and they immediately rubbed oil on their feet.

After walking out of the door, Wang Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "God, how could the city lord's brother be so cruel? It's as if... he wants to eat us alive. This... we have a long journey, and we will come as soon as we arrive in Shouzhou." Please say hello, and don't dare to waste a moment in between. Why did you annoy the uncle? Is it possible that we are not polite enough?"

Wang Sanniang was a little belated, but then she seemed to remember something, and said in panic: "Dad, have you noticed that the uncle's attitude towards us was okay at first, but later when we talked about the current situation of the city lord, the uncle's face became dark."

Wang Yin also came to his senses. The two father and daughter looked at each other and said "Oh" in unison.

Mrs. Wang was unhappy and hurriedly came forward to inquire about the situation.

Wang Sanniang said: "Mom, it's bad. It seems that the uncle doesn't know that the city lord has rebelled -"

Xu Huiming stared at Feng'er with a pair of eyes, while Feng'er crossed her legs leisurely, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. "Xu Feng! This is why you always refuse to hand over your private salt account books, right?! Okay, my good sister, occupying Lan County, attacking Jinzhou, and taking over Qianzhou, everything will change in the blink of an eye. He has become the biggest rebel in the southwest! Tell me the truth, did you already know that Xu Zhenying was going to rebel?!"

Xu Feng leaned back slightly after being yelled at, then gently wiped his face with a handkerchief, and even said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, calm down your anger, what's the point of whether I know about this or not? "

"Where's Da Zhuang? Does he also know about it? Is it possible that Xu Zhenying, the only one in the world, is hiding it from me? If she hadn't sent someone to recruit us back this time, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark!" Xu Huiming burst into laughter. After shouting, there was a sad look on his face. He sat slumped in the chair, "Why did you hide it from me alone? Could it be that in her heart, I can't even compare to outsiders?"

Feng'er saw that Xu Huiming was really sad, and she also calmed down, "The city lord didn't hide it from you on purpose. I guess the Xu family doesn't know. Besides, the city lord doesn't trust you, so why would he let you go south to open up business lines?" .We are in Shouzhou, Prince Ming’s lair, do you think the city lord won’t trust you?”

Xu Huiming hid her face in pain, "I always knew that she could hide things in her heart, but I didn't expect that she could hide things so well - Feng'er, she actually sent her mother and little sister to Qianzhou as hostages! I never knew she had such big ambitions!"

When it came to Xu Zhenying's housework, Feng'er was speechless for a moment, so she could only say: "The chieftain of Qianzhou has also sent hostages. The two sides are holding each other's hands, so I think Madam and the others will be fine."

"Feng'er, I feel so confused." Xu Huiming said painfully, "My sister, I really think that even if she doesn't make a sound, she has become a blockbuster."

"Uncle, isn't it only a matter of time before the city lord rebels? She is capable, ambitious, and ambitious. The city lord will not succumb to others."

Xu Huiming was confused.

He understood everything Feng'er said.

He was just too shocked and confused. Xu Zhenying didn't even mention such a big thing to him, a close relative of his blood.

One can imagine how heavy her thoughts were.

"Uncle, you have never been to Lan County. You don't know what kind of life the people there are living now. The people in the countryside of Shouzhou are so poor that they have sold their sons and daughters, but in Lan County, every household will be able to eat during the Spring Festival this year. Pork, not to mention the 40% literacy rate in Lan County. Uncle, if you have been to Lan County, you will understand why the city lord wanted to rebel."

Xu Huiming looked at her confused.

Feng'er's lips curled up slightly, her face filled with pride, "The city lord wants all the people in the Zhou Dynasty to live the life of Lan County."

Xu Huiming paused, and he could tell from these words that Xu Zhenying and Feng'er often exchanged letters. Feng'er knew the situation in Lan County well, which meant that Feng'er had been Xu Zhenying's person from the beginning.

Xu Huiming looked at Feng'er, "So...why did Xu Zhenying ask you to come to Shouzhou? Or...what did you do in Shouzhou?"

Feng'er leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Of course it's to earn military expenses. Of course, we have to communicate up and down, sneak into the officialdom, and obtain information. Oh, we also have to continue to promote the concept of equality for all living beings in Lan County and help the city lord secretly Build momentum. If the city lord wants to cooperate with Prince Ming one day, we must also ensure that we have our own people on Prince Ming's side."

Xu Huiming took a deep breath.

He used to only think that Feng'er was fierce, bold, and sharp, but he never discovered her scheming side.

They came to Shouzhou at the same time and saw each other almost every day. He thought that there would always be conflicts and differences between them, but they should be teammates who could exchange backs with each other at critical moments.

But who knew... Feng'er had done so many things behind his back...

For the first time, he felt that he did not recognize the smiling woman in front of him, who was comfortable in the fame and fortune fair.

Feng'er was able to bypass his sight and do so many things for Xu Zhenying in a short period of time, but he knew nothing about it.

With this understanding, Xu Huiming suddenly felt that he was actually far inferior to Feng'er.

He also gradually understood why Xu Zhenying trusted Feng'er more than him.

Feng'er will stand by Xu Zhenying unconditionally.

And he will be entangled, hesitant, and afraid.

He was a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty, and he had never thought about rebellion!

Xu Huiming couldn't help but feel downcast, but Feng'er comforted him with a smile: "Uncle Xu, you have never really understood what kind of person the city lord is from the beginning to the end."

Xu Huiming bit her lower lip, raised her black and white eyes, and looked intently at the light and gentle woman in front of her, "Then tell me... who is she..."

"She—" Feng'er smiled, "She is a heartless person."

Xu Huiming was stunned.

Feng'er turned her head and looked at him, "The City Lord has too many things in her heart. She is like a Buddha statue in the world. She will not waver, hesitate, or be emotional. As long as she has a goal, she will only She will move towards that goal. The love of her closest relatives, siblings, and parents may not be as important as the dream in her heart."

Xu Huiming felt mixed emotions. He thought of what Xu Zhenying had said before about how a thousand jins per mu would make the world harmonious, and his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

"Her dream...is to create a world where the world is unified?" Xu Huiming looked confused, "Does such a fairyland really exist in this world?"

"I once asked her this." Feng'er smiled, "The city lord said, how can you know if you don't try. Since no one dares to do it in this world, then she will do it! I am honored to follow such a person Live this life vigorously."

There was a "boom" in Xu Huiming's mind.

Since no one in this world dares to do this, then I will do it!
What an inspiring and ambitious statement this is!

He seemed to see that thin but determined back through these words.

"Uncle Xu, you are now one of the best rebel brothers in the world. Now that you have boarded the pirate ship, you can't stay out of it. Unless you want to betray the city lord..."

"Betray her?" Xu Huiming remembered what Wang Sanniang said about Xu Deyuan's sudden death, and he couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. Although Xu Zhenying's handwriting was not seen in this, Xu Huiming somehow felt that Xu Zhenying could not escape from this matter. relationship.

"Does the Xu family dare to betray her?" Xu Huiming raised a wry smile on her lips, "My second uncle's body is still cold now. I'm afraid the entire Xu family is just afraid of her."

Feng'er lowered her expression and glanced at him sideways.

The once humble maid has now developed a dignity all over her body, "Uncle Xu, I would like to remind you in view of our friendship for more than half a year. Jinzhou Prefecture is not as good as Shouzhou. When we returned to Jinzhou Prefecture this time, there were some Don’t talk nonsense, even if you are the city lord’s brother.”

Xu Huiming's face suddenly turned pale and she remained silent.

"Pack up the account books and hand over to the Wang family. Since he was sent by the city lord, he must be the city lord's confidant, so be polite to him!" Feng'er kicked Xu Huiming's feet, and Xu Huiming came back to his senses.

Feng'er suddenly had expectations in her eyes, "Jinzhou Mansion, I'm really yearning for it. I really want to go back as soon as possible."

Jinzhou Mansion will be her home from now on!
