Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Hearing this, the heart of the general of Xuanfu sank to the bottom. He widened his eyes, looked at Li Jinglong in disbelief, and muttered to himself.

"How could this be possible... Could it be that all of them have offended the Emperor? But I have never heard of this..."

I am a high-ranking official and a general. It is no small matter to make me suffer the consequences.

Li Jinglong shook his head and sighed, "Some things are not as simple as they seem. The interests involved are very complicated. You just need to know that your marriage with them is not as good as it seems now, but it hides huge risks. So, you'd better prepare to deal with it, but don't alert the enemy now."

After saying that, Li Jinglong patted the general of Xuanfu on the shoulder, turned and left, leaving the general of Xuanfu kneeling there alone, his heart full of fear and anxiety.

Oh my god, why do simple things feel so complicated?

Logically speaking, wasn't Li Jinglong here to exterminate the Jurchens? How come he was dragged into something else? And how could he, a general, be dragged into this matter?

At the same time, the other four families also received news of going to the General's Mansion for a banquet, and the four of them gathered together to discuss it.

The head of the Kong family frowned and said, "I know with my toes that this is a Hongmen Banquet. I can't go. I have to find a reason to refuse."

The head of the Qian family said hesitantly, "Maybe not. Maybe he wants to make friends with our four families. After all, we are also among the best in Xuanfu."

"What a worthless person! When we meet them, we have to call ourselves common people. They are dukes! It is very likely that they are sent by the emperor to investigate us." The head of the Liu family retorted excitedly.

The head of the Meng family sighed and said helplessly, "We can't not go. We have to accept the favor given by others. Otherwise, if we are shameless, the consequences will be very serious."

The head of the Kong family shook his head and said worriedly, "But what if it really is a Hongmen Banquet? Wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"

The head of the Qian family thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we send a message to the girl from the clan who married the general to find out the situation and see if there is anything unusual in the general's mansion, or if there are any swordsmen or the like?"

The head of the Liu family nodded in agreement. "This is a good idea. If you find anything wrong, please notify us in time so that we can make preparations early."

The head of the Meng family raised a question, "If it is really a Hongmen Banquet, what should we do? Should we fight against them? They have an army in their hands. If we don't resist, should we just surrender?"

The head of the Kong family shook his head slightly. "We need evidence to do things. He can't do anything to us without evidence. We have destroyed some evidence during this period. It's not a big problem. He shouldn't deal with us so quickly. And even if he suspects us, so what? Without evidence, can he still do whatever he wants? We are not so easy to mess with. Even a strong dragon will suppress a local snake."

Li Jinglong: Alas, you are barbarians from a remote area after all, and you don't know much about the world. As for evidence, you can have as much as you want, right? When I suspected you, you were already guilty.

The other three nodded in agreement.

"Great kindness."

So, they decided to act according to the plan and immediately sent servants to the general's mansion to investigate the situation and then make a decision based on the specific circumstances.

Caution is the boat.

If they had not destroyed evidence during this period and if some of their actions had not been a little abnormal, Li Jinglong would not have noticed them so quickly.

At this time, there was a tense atmosphere among the Jurchens.

The news that the imperial army had arrived was like a thunderclap among the Jurchens. The leaders of the three major Jurchen tribes gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.
