The most romantic little emperor

Su Zhengfang suddenly interrupted him and shouted sternly, "Shut up!"

His eyes flashed with determination, and his tone revealed unquestionable majesty: "The three thousand elite soldiers you brought back from Yanyun are our trump card to save our lives. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not use it lightly. Do you understand?"

The amount of property and food robbed this time was staggering, almost half of the Su family's wealth accumulated over the years. Su Meng was unwilling to let so much property be robbed and remain indifferent.

At this critical moment, his heart was already in a mess. He tightly grasped Su Zhengfang's sleeves with his hands, and his tone was full of anxiety and eagerness: "Dad, what should we do now? Think of a solution quickly!"

"So much gold, silver, treasures and food is enough for us to eat and drink for several lifetimes. We can't just watch them being taken away! If we delay a step, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it."

Su Zhengfang frowned and clenched his fists, obviously upset by the series of disturbances.

"Do you know who stole our things? How dare they rob us so blatantly? How could we not be on guard?" There was a hint of helplessness and anger in his tone, and his voice echoed in the empty hall.

The young and energetic Su Meng widened his eyes, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said anxiously, "Dad, you worry too much. According to the people who came back, the one who stole our property and food was the rebel named Gao Gongxiang."

"He is just a rebel leader. Our Su family doesn't take him seriously. Don't worry, father. I will personally take action to kill Gao Gongxiang and let him know how powerful our Su family is!"

Su Zhengfang stared at his son's young but resolute face, and the anxiety in his heart subsided a little.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Meng'er, your determination is something that your father should be aware of. But this matter is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Your eldest brother has led the elite troops of the right camp to fight against the rampant banditry, and the general Wang Jian of the left camp has personally led the army to wipe out the traitor Gao Gongxiang. Gao Gongxiang is busy protecting himself and is almost dead. How can he have the leisure to rob our property?"

Su Meng was indeed a veteran general, and he instantly understood what his father Su Zhengfang meant. So he asked tentatively, "Dad, are you saying that someone wants to frame Gao Gongxiang and use us to get rid of him?

Su Zhengfang nodded slightly, his voice low and firm: "I hope I am just worrying too much. I still hope that this matter was done by Gao Gongxiang. If so, the matter will be simple and clear. I am afraid that he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, and we will become pawns of others."

"Dad, do you already have someone you suspect in your mind?" Su Meng asked softly, his eyes flickering.

Su Zhengfang's face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were full of doubts. "I now suspect that it is very likely that the person in the East Palace is behind this."

"Are you talking about Qin Hao? That good-for-nothing prince? He was poisoned two days ago, how could he have the ability to predict the future?" Su Meng frowned, his face full of confusion and doubt, as if he didn't believe that Qin Hao could have such a skill at all.

"Meng'er, you really disappoint me."

Su Zhengfang stared at Su Meng, with an indescribable anger in his heart. He scolded him with a harsh tone: "I have warned you so many times not to underestimate any opponent, but it seems that you always listen to me. How come you haven't made any progress?"

"Let me ask you, Qin Hao was poisoned, but he still killed our plan. Could such a person be a waste? We have fought with him many times, but we were defeated repeatedly. Is this something a waste can do? If you still insist on not realizing your mistake and fail to recognize the reality, you will fall into trouble sooner or later."

Su Meng was scolded until his face turned red. He lowered his head and his voice trembled slightly: "Father taught me, and I will remember it in my heart. Dad, if Qin Hao is really behind this, how should we deal with it next?"

Su Zhengfang suddenly grabbed the tea bowl on the table, drank it all, and then threw it down heavily. The sound of the tea bowl breaking echoed in the quiet air.

A trace of fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Qin Hao, is it really you? Do you really dare to attack my Su family?"

Su Meng stood aside, brows furrowed, silent, as if thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

After a long wait, Su Zhengfang regained his composure. He stared at Su Meng and ordered, "Whether Gao Gongxiang was responsible for this or not, we must take action against him. Go and inform your eldest brother to immediately send someone to find out the truth and prepare to take action against Gao Gongxiang. If possible, subdue Gao Gongxiang's forces and make them our helpers. If not, eliminate him without hesitation and then merge his forces into ours. In this way, we will have more bargaining chips in our hands."

He paused and continued, "Also, I want to tell you, brother, no matter what, you must not rush back to the capital. Only in this way can we better contain Qin Hao. Even if he wants to attack our Su family, he must think twice. Remember, this is a battle that concerns the survival of our Su family. There can be no negligence in every step. You and your brother must stay calm at all times."

Although his voice was calm, the firmness and determination contained in it could not be ignored.

Su Meng nodded in agreement. He knew that at this moment, his father was ready to face any challenges.

After explaining this matter, Su Zhengfang asked softly: "The Second Prince and the Eighth Prince have returned to the capital, right?"

Su Meng hurriedly reported to Su Zhengfang the latest developments of the two brothers Qin Feng and Qin Yun, covering every detail, even who they met and where they stayed. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort and hard work for this.

After listening to this, Su Zhengfang nodded with satisfaction and praised generously, "In this regard, you have indeed done better than your elder brother. I am very pleased."

After that, he patted Su Meng's shoulder vigorously and ordered: "Go, immediately send some elite assassins to assassinate Qin Feng tonight. Remember, our goal is not to really take his life, but to make him feel the threat of death, so that he will feel fear and suspicion. We want Qin Feng to suspect that Qin Hao is behind all this, so that we can completely arouse his rebellious heart and let the two brothers kill each other."

When Su Meng heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He nodded, indicating that he understood his father's intention.
