General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 854 Surprise Exercise (2)

"The war is about to begin." Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu and hugged her in his arms.

“Just based on this?” Mother Ji didn’t understand the family affairs of the princes, but why should a war be started when the second prince’s mother was killed?

"The second prince's mother is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. The Lin family has always been very supportive of the second prince, including recruiting soldiers and buying horses. The gentry in that area all support the second prince. The second prince can be where he is today thanks to the Lin family. The Lin family is a great help to the second prince and is also his backer." Fang Chen explained.

"The eldest prince, no, it was the prime minister who attacked the second prince's mother. This is equivalent to a direct slap in the face. His hand can reach the Lin Mansion and even kill the second prince's mother. If the second prince does not fight back, he may be the next one."

Ji Xiaowu frowned. If it were her, she might also choose to go to war directly. How could she bear the hatred of her mother's murder?

Especially since the Second Prince already had a bad temper, this incident had further stimulated his bottom line.

"The most important thing is that no one is not afraid of death! The reason why those gentry supported the Second Prince was because of the Lin family, and the Second Prince couldn't even protect his own mother..." Fang Chen said, and Ji Xiaomu understood. "Those gentry are also afraid, and they will be the next to lose their lives."

Fang Chen nodded.

"Then let's contact each family tomorrow to discuss it together?" said Ji Xiaoni. "The sooner the better. It's fine to do it a few times. It would be best if we train them until they become numb."

"Okay." Fang Chen agreed.

That night, Mr. Hu, Mr. Bai, Mr. Ling and Qu Jing all received a notice from Fang Chen, and the meeting was scheduled for the next day in the backyard of the Ling family.

When Ji Xiaou and Fang Chen arrived, Mr. Hu had already arrived. As soon as Mr. Ling and Mr. Hu saw Ji Xiaou and Fang Chen, they came forward to greet them.

"General, Madam, what is so urgent?" asked Old Hu. He was also shocked by the urgent notice. Since he came to Heyang City, he had never met to discuss something so urgent.

"Let's talk about it when everyone is here!" Fang Chen nodded to the two of them, asking them to be patient and talk about it when everyone is here.

Mr. Hu and Mr. Ling looked at each other, then returned to their seats and waited patiently.

Qujing arrived soon after.

Ji Xiaowu came forward and said with a smile, "Uncle Qu, you are here."

"If you hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known that I was still the mayor of this city!" Qu Jing sighed. He has become accustomed to this retirement life. He doesn't need to worry about big things every day, and doesn't have to worry about losing his life. When he has nothing to do, he can make tea, go fishing, and spend time with his daughter Qu Shishi. This life is so comfortable.

That's his ideal life.

If Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen hadn't sent someone to inform him, he would have forgotten that he was the lord of Heyang City.

"Uncle Qu, what are you talking about?" Aunt Ji chuckled.

"I'm serious. I'd better abdicate! I don't have any ability anyway..." Qu Jing really wanted to give up the position of city lord.

"Uncle Qu, what are you talking about!" Ji Xiaoni said with a smile, "If you don't have the ability, who has it?"

Qu Jing smiled and waved, then walked towards Mr. Hu and Mr. Ling.

I recently heard that this group of elderly people is very happy, and Qujing also wants to join.

After Yang Hua and others as well as Chen Zihao arrived, Old Bai and Bai Yichen also arrived.

Everyone gathered together, and if the Ling family's yard wasn't big enough, there might not be enough space for everyone to sit.

Everyone looked at Fang Chen, waiting for him to speak, and Fang Chen nodded to everyone.
