Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?
Chapter 224: Deciding on Manpower
"Dad, I've made up my mind. I'll go by myself. I have Tian Da and the others so there shouldn't be any problem. I'll test Uncle Zhenwei's attitude. If they don't want to, let them leave as soon as possible."
"Dad, I will go with my sister, don't worry."
"Second brother, you won't be able to help much if you go. It's better for you to stay at home and help dad." Tian Xinger felt that there was no need for her second brother to go. He didn't know any martial arts and his handling of a musket was average, so it was better for him not to go.
Prefect Tian knew that he could not leave. He still had to defend Yingzhou Prefecture and he also needed the latest news. This matter concerned the lives of his family and he could not act rashly.
"Let your second brother come with you, otherwise Dad will be worried about you going alone."
Seeing that her father was worried, Tian Xing'er finally compromised.
"You two must take care of each other on the way and be careful. If you can't get the military token, we won't want you. The most important thing is that you two return safely.
And Yuheng, you have no martial arts skills, so you must be careful. "Prefect Tian never thought that one day he would be more worried about his son hindering his daughter.
"Yes, Dad." Tian Yuheng responded solemnly.
The matter was quickly settled, and they had no choice but to take this step. Rather than being destroyed, it would be better to carve out a way for themselves to survive.
Tian Xing'er decided to talk to Tian Zhenwei and the others in person. Although she knew that Tian Zhenwei would most likely agree and help her, she still wanted to confirm and ask for his opinion.
From the beginning when they left Hu County for their father to today, Tian Xing'er has treated Tian Zhenwei and his family like family.
"Uncle Zhenwei, you know the current situation. I want to ask, what are your plans? If you want to leave, you can leave. You don't owe our family anything at all." It was also the first time that Tian Xing'er spoke to Tian Zhenwei so seriously.
"What's wrong with this girl? Why is she talking like your father today? Why don't you want to see me? Do you think we brothers spent too much money on you?
You are such a dishonest girl. I don't know how much money you have. You can't spend it all. Don't think of chasing us away. We brothers want to follow you and enjoy the good life."
"Uncle Zhenwei, I am serious about what you are saying. My father should have also told you about the current situation in Qishan. Without General Li Yun's military token, we can only hold on tightly, but this is not a solution."
The more Tian Xing'er spoke, the heavier her expression became. "It's very dangerous for you to stay here. Didn't you say you wanted to find wives for your brothers? If you stay here now, I'm afraid your life might be in danger, let alone finding wives."
"Don't beat around the bush with me. I've already talked to my brothers about this. We're not leaving. We'll stay in your Tian family whether we live or die."
Hearing Tian Zhenwei say this, Tian Xing'er felt more confident.
"If there is a chance to save myself, but it may be a serious crime, will you help me, Uncle Zhenwei?" Tian Xing'er finally asked tentatively.
"How big can your rebellion be? Tell me. At worst, we can seize the military power and drive all those Westerners out of Qishan. I will avenge them for trapping me to death before. This time, we can avenge them together."
"Aren't you afraid that this might be a case of confiscation of property?"
"What are you afraid of? That damn emperor may not even survive. At such an important time, he actually took away the military command and called General Li Yun back to the capital. What does he want to do? Doesn't he think we don't know?" Tian Zhenwei almost scolded the emperor for being stupid and being bewitched by the traitors, causing chaos in the world.
Tian Xing'er smiled and looked at Tian Zhenwei seriously and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhenwei's words are enough. Are you willing to go with me to seize the military token?"
"What, what, you really want to seize the military token!" Tian Zhenwei thought he had heard it wrong, and asked Tian Xing'er again and again. The other party nodded heavily. Now Tian Zhenwei was really upset.
"You don't dare? Or are you afraid?"
"Who said I don't dare? It's just that I didn't expect that you, a girl, would be so courageous.
Humph, isn't it just taking away the military token? You underestimate your uncle Zhenwei, right? I will be able to take the military token back for you in a few days. " Tian Zhenwei was not happy about being provoked by Tian Xing'er.
"No, I'll go with you. I'll take responsibility for this. If there's any problem, it's my business. It has nothing to do with Uncle Zhenwei and Dad. I can't let Dad get implicated."
"This is such a big deal. You said you want nothing to do with your father, so then it has nothing to do with him. Do you think they are fools? Forget it. Everyone has a part to play in this matter. I agree to this."
Suddenly Tian Zhenwei got angry, "Hey, you said a lot today, it turns out you were waiting for me here, you didn't even give me a choice, you were just waiting for me to agree."
"Hehe, I still can't hide it from Uncle Zhenwei, but if you really don't want to, I will definitely let you go."
"Tsk, that's boring. Don't worry, I will definitely help you. I said I would follow your father, how could I go back on my word? Even if your father wants to be the emperor, I will help him."
Tian Zhenwei is a quick-talker. When he realized he had said something wrong, he immediately shut up and slapped himself twice.
Tian Xing'er just looked at him and laughed at himself, thinking, "Uncle Zhenwei, you are right again. I just want my father to be a local emperor. Even if we can't conquer the entire Daqing Dynasty, we can definitely take down several prefectures in the north. Then, with the rebels in the south, the Jiang family, and us, it won't be impossible to form a three-way balance of power."
"It's my fault. I said something wrong. By the way, when do we set out? Which route did General Li Yun take to return to the capital? Do you know that they have been walking for several days? We have to hurry up."
Tian Xing'er said confidently: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhenwei, we have already inquired about these.
As for the road to Bei'an Prefecture, Zhou Feng and Li Da are currently in a standoff, so they will definitely not choose to take that road.
So we can go from Hedong Prefecture. If we travel light and speed up, we should be able to catch up with them.
After all, those people in the court are of noble status, so they will not move too hastily. Besides, the snow on the road is very thick now, so riding in a carriage is not as comfortable and fast as riding a horse. "
Tian Zhenwei saw that Tian Xing'er had already made a plan, so he had nothing to worry about. They cooperated with each other along the way and had a tacit understanding.
He replied, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. I'll pick some good guys from the brothers' side to go with me. This matter is very important, so the number of people shouldn't be too many, but also not too few. I took a look and there are quite a few of them, so it should be enough for us to take about 20 people."
With the help of muskets and crossbows, these twenty or so people were not afraid even when facing hundreds of people.
After this matter was agreed upon, on the evening of the next day, Tian Xing'er led his men to chase General Li Yun and his troops.
