Chapter 110 Sending troops to attack Zheng Le

Today, Xisi Street is ablaze with colorful flags and filled with the sounds of gongs and drums. The streets are teeming with people, bustling with excitement. Merchants have put aside their business, donned their finest attire, and come to attend this wedding.

They brought not only valuable gifts, but also their heartfelt blessings to the newlyweds. Those usually influential figures in the business world, now all wore smiles and humbly joined in the celebration.

Not only that, even the officials of the imperial court were attracted by the wedding. Dressed in their official robes and wearing medals, they came from all directions.

"Lord He, you've also come to Minister Xu's wedding?"

"Lord Li, as fellow students of the Fourth Prince, I, He, should naturally attend the wedding of the Fourth Prince's Chamber of Commerce Minister."

“That’s right, that’s right. As a colleague, I wholeheartedly agree.”

Similar scenes could be seen everywhere on Food Street. They had all heard that the Fourth Prince held shares in the Prosperous Era Chamber of Commerce, and that the Chamber's minister was getting married, so they were sure to show up.

All the business tycoons in the West District were present, as were people from other districts. They seized the opportunity to meet people from different industries and develop their businesses.

Tens of thousands of people on Xisi Street participated in organizing the wedding banquet. In less than two hours, all the wedding arrangements were completed. This is the power of the Chamber of Commerce.

At Yuncui Restaurant, Zheng Qian, dressed in his finest attire, watched everyone bustling about, feeling very pleased.

The caravan was attacked by the guards this morning, which was a huge blow to everyone. We need to use this wedding to shake off the gloom.

"The Fourth Prince has arrived." Just as they were preparing for the wedding ceremony, Lü Jin arrived on time.

The appearance of Lü Jin brought the wedding to a climax.

Jiang Siting personally did Yun Duo'er's makeup, stunning everyone present.

Xu Shicai excitedly grabbed Yun Duo'er's hand, "Duo'er, you look so beautiful today."

"Shicai, have you thought it through? Today I..." Yun Duo'er was interrupted by Xu Shicai before she could finish speaking.

"Duo'er, I cut him more than three thousand times, hoping to cut away your anger. I have no other intentions, I just want to live a good life with you and never leave you."

"Poetry talent." Yun Duo'er looked at Xu Shicai with deep affection, tears of happiness streaming down her back.

Neither of them mentioned Jia Shi because they knew that living was not easy, and since Jia Shi was dead, keeping bringing him up was a punishment for themselves.

For those living the life of a wanderer, survival is not easy; cherish every moment before moving forward.

"Thank you all for gracing my wedding with Yun Duo'er. I, Xu Shicai, swear that I will treat Yun Duo'er well in this life and make her happy."

Standing on the wedding stage, facing a full house of guests, Xu Shicai's voice was firm and powerful, each word seemingly etched into everyone's heart. His gaze never left Yun Duo'er, and the deep love and commitment he expressed moved everyone present.

Xu Shicai's tolerance and Yun Duo'er's resilience are a microcosm of this turbulent society. They will not be ridiculed, but will only receive blessings.

Yun Duo'er stood beside him, her face beaming with happiness. Her red wedding dress accentuated her jade-like, pure face, making her even more beautiful and captivating. Her eyes sparkled with happiness, a testament to her boundless trust and reliance on Xu Shicai.

"Duo'er, I know I still have many shortcomings, but I am willing to use all my efforts to make up for them and to make you happy for the rest of your life." Xu Shicai's voice trembled slightly, but his eyes were even more determined.

Yun Duo'er gently took Xu Shicai's hand, her eyes filled with tenderness and gratitude. "Shicai, I believe in you. I believe our future will be full of happiness and joy."

"Good." Everyone applauded for them and wished them well.

After the oath of brotherhood, Xu Shicai toasted each of them.

"Your Highness, thank you for attending my wedding. I'll drink this first as a sign of my respect." Xu Shicai finished his drink in one gulp.

"President, from now on, I hope you will give me your guidance." Xu Shicai finished toasting Zhang Tiezhu and downed his drink in one gulp as well.

Finally, with red eyes, Xu Shicai held the wine bowl in both hands and said to Zheng Qian.

"From now on, whether it's going through fire or water, just give the order. If I, Xu Shicai, even frown, I'll be struck by lightning."

Xu Shicai's respect for Lü Jin was that of the imperial family, and his respect for Zhang Tiezhu was that of a subordinate to a superior. Only with Zheng Qian would he be willing to risk his life for him.

"Treat Duo'er well and live a good life." Zheng Qian didn't say much. He didn't wish Xu Shicai wealth and glory, but only hoped that he would live a good life.

Xu Shicai smiled from the bottom of his heart and bowed again.

"Thank you, President!"

After the meal, Lü Jin, Zhang Xinghai, and Zheng Qian gathered in the private room.

"Zheng Qian, what's your view on the current situation?" Lu Jin stared at Zheng Qian, wanting to talk to him personally to see if he was really as capable as Zhang Xinghai had said.

As Zheng Qian sat down on the stool, he stretched and said without any hesitation that he was really tired today.

"If you want to be the emperor, don't talk about the situation, but create it. If you don't want to be the emperor, you don't need to care about the situation, because it has nothing to do with you."

Lu Jin was choked and felt uncomfortable. Everyone else treated him like royalty, but Zheng Qian never gave him a hard time, which annoyed him. Zheng Qian never asked him for anything, and even when he was going to break into the Underworld, he did it without asking for Lu Jin's opinion.

Most importantly, even though they succeeded in breaking through, the guards vanished without a trace, and Warden Nightshade was instantly killed, it seems he really couldn't help them much.

"How do we create this situation?" Lu Jin's question revealed his true desire to become emperor.

Straightening his posture, Zheng Qian stopped his joking around. If Lü Jin wanted to become emperor, then he had to give him a hand. After helping Zheng Le, he would travel the world with his sword.

"First, Yan City currently has no army. Those who want to become emperor will naturally take the opportunity to gather all their forces in Yan City. Whoever arrives first will have the initiative."

Secondly, once we gather in Yancheng, we'll still have to fight it out. Whoever fights the hardest will get the position. There's no point in infiltrating now; everything will come down to who has the bigger fist.

Third, your reforms are useless unless you become emperor and defeat the five powerful families. Otherwise, your reforms will be nothing but empty words and have no effect.

Lu Jin looked at Zheng Qian quietly, a strange smile appearing on her face. "What if we don't have an army, or our army is inferior to theirs?"

We lack an army, or are inferior to the enemy?

Zheng Qian really wanted to slap him twice, and retorted directly: "What else can we do? Of course, we build an army, win over those we can win over, and destroy those we can't win over. It's that simple."

Suddenly remembering a question, Zheng Qian asked, "How many troops do you have under your command now?"

Lu Jin awkwardly touched his nose. "I trained three rebel armies, but now only your father's Beacon Army remains. The others have all failed."

Zheng Qian was speechless. So you think you can rely on the Zheng family to help you avoid the throne?

"How many of them are there now?"

"Eighty thousand."

How many men does the First Prince command?

"Two hundred and sixty thousand."

"Then what's the point of playing? Just surrender." Zheng Qian shrugged. Compared to Lü Jun, you're really trash.

Lu Jin was angry. Zheng Qian hadn't given him any face since they met, and he said defiantly.

“My elder brother is the eldest son, and everyone supports him. Right now, he only has the Red Turban Army. The other rebel armies have been scattered by the local armies. Father Emperor simply won’t allow any more rebel armies to emerge. Meanwhile, the Grand Marshal of the State has 100,000 troops under his command. He supports my elder brother, and the Prime Minister also supports my elder brother. What can I do?”

The two men looked at Zhang Xinghai at the same time. The Grand Marshal of the State was his father, Zhang Zhi. Zhang Xinghai felt wronged and shouted.

“You see, it’s no use me. My father never listens to me. He always advocates governing the country with filial piety and wholeheartedly supports His Highness. I said a few words and was kicked out of the house. Now he doesn’t even recognize me as his son anymore. You all know that.”

Zheng Qian leaned back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "Eighty thousand against two hundred and sixty thousand, the odds of winning aren't high, but there's still a chance."

Both of them looked at Zheng Qian as if he were an idiot. "Eighty thousand against twenty-six, are you kidding me?"

"The Emperor wiped out all the rebel armies, leaving only two in Lüchang County. What does that mean?" Zheng Qian sat up straight and continued.

"This shows that the Emperor is testing you two brothers, not only your ability to judge people, but also your courage. Marshal Zhang only has 260,000 troops. Fight."

Lu Jin fell silent. He knew what Zheng Qian was saying, as did the eldest prince, Lu Jun. But Lu Jin had the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Marshal of the State, and the Prime Minister, the head of all officials. It was already remarkable that he had managed to maintain the current situation.

Taking a deep breath, Lü Jin organized her thoughts and then asked, "How do we fight?"

Zheng Qian immediately perked up and grinned.

"Tomorrow at court, you should propose that we send troops to attack Zheng Le's beacon fire army."
