Shao Peichen sneered: "Yes, to others, I, Shao Peichen, am just a dead person."
Then, Shao Peichen opened his arms: "Now that I am here, it is not up to you two to decide whether to kill or behead me?"
Huo Tingyu looked at Shao Peichen's self-defeating look and said, "You don't have to be like this, sir. You are still my guest in Yongzhou."
"What a distinguished guest. So, in the eyes of the boss and the commander-in-chief, what use does a so-called dead person like me have?" Shao Peichen said angrily. Perhaps it was because of his fatigue that he seemed particularly out of sorts.
"Master Shao is worried that if there is no Yongzhou, the two county magistrates will inevitably change their goals. By then, the northwest will be recovered by the Republic of China government?" Chen Jinjun said what Shao Peichen has always been worried about.
Shao Peichen snorted coldly: "Shao no longer exists. What is Northwest? What is the Republic of China? Does it have anything to do with me?"
"It does matter. Don't forget, sir, that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Not only is he responsible now, but he is also useful." Chen Jinjun looked at Shao Peichen and smiled like a fox who had succeeded in his conspiracy.
Shao Peichen narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Jinjun with a probing look: "What is the boss planning?"
Chen Jinjun clicked his tongue and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, living is the greatest use."
Shao Peichen was stunned for a moment. With his experience and eyesight, he could not see through Chen Jinjun's plan.
He couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering whether Chen Jinjun wanted to use himself, or whether he wanted to use Lu Ze and He Cheng.
Shao Peichen now had a splitting headache, and the frequent incidents that night had really made him unable to recover for a while.
Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu also saw that Shao Peichen was in something wrong, so they asked him to go down and rest.
After Shao Peichen went to the guest room, Huo Tingyu asked Chen Jinjun: "Next, are we really going to declare war?"
Chen Jinjun nodded: "Don't forget, Zhu Hong is currently under investigation, and Shao Peichen will definitely not go into detail about this matter. If Lu Ze and He Cheng are not stupid, this battle will not be fought."
"Then what if... Lu Ze and He Cheng are two people who are still the same and have chosen this path?"
Shao Peichen already had the answer in his heart and was ready, but he still couldn't help but listen to Chen Jinjun say it.
As expected, Chen Jinjun responded decisively: "Then fight."
Huo Tingyu smiled: "It's getting late. Let's go back and rest first. I'll declare war on Chaiyang tomorrow morning."
"What's the reason?" Chen Jinjun raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Tingyu.
"Of course, whatever the Jiang family owed us before, we have to get back." Huo Tingyu said lightly.
Chen Jinjun nodded, got up and returned to his yard.
After returning to the yard, Chen Jinjun did not go back to the house to sleep immediately, but went into the warehouse by himself.
After carrying a hundred and eight dowries and gifts from various shopkeepers, Chen Jinjun rummaged around for a long time and finally found what he wanted.
She weighed it before returning to the bedroom and falling asleep with satisfaction.
On the other side, Shao Peichen was lying on the unfamiliar bed in Huo Mansion with a splitting headache and difficulty falling asleep.
Apart from being furious when he learned that Liu Yunxi had betrayed him, he was really confused about the current situation. He had been calculating for so many years, but at this moment, he had no idea what Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu were planning to do.
The situation in the northwest was already in chaos, but these two people seemed to pretend that the matter was not big enough, so they pretended to be dead.
But thinking of how confident Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu were, Shao Peichen couldn't help but want to believe that Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu's judgment was right.
Would you actually agree with other people's methods?
This is really an unacceptable thing for Shao Peichen, an absolutely conceited person.
He lay on the bed and kept rubbing his temples.
Finally, an idea appeared in Shao Peichen's mind that shocked even him.
Chen Jinjun just said that Zhu Hong could not protect himself?
Doesn't this mean that his death will not allow Zhu Hong to send new officials to the northwest, but will instead transfer what he has to do in the northwest to Lu Ze and He Cheng.
Then...
Perhaps it was because of mental and physical exhaustion that Shao Peichen couldn't sleep unconsciously as he kept thinking about it.
Early the next morning, Shao Peichen woke up and found himself lying on a strange bed. Only then did he realize that everything he experienced yesterday was not a dream, but actually happened.
Therefore, he is now a "dead person". Thinking of this, for some reason, Shao Peichen feels a lot more relaxed.
Maybe, I don’t have to live a life where I have to face open and secret arrows as soon as I open my eyes?
Suddenly, Shao Peichen was in a good mood. He calmly got up and washed himself. After tidying himself up, he walked out of the guest room.
As soon as he woke up, the first thing he wanted to do was to find Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu to find out whether the guess he made when he was half asleep and half awake last night was true.
Shao Peichen walked halfway and bumped into the master of Huo Mansion.
The master recognized Shao Peichen and quickly stopped him with a smile: "Oh, Master Shao, are you planning to go find the commander?"
Shao Peichen nodded.
The master clapped his hands: "That's really unlucky, the commander has just left."
"Where did Huo Tingyu go?" Shao Peichen asked the master curiously.
"He went to the government. The commander-in-chief said that if you ask, he went to declare war with the two county magistrates." The master looked at Shao Peichen with an eager look on his face.
Declare war?
Shao Peichen was stunned for a moment, and quickly grabbed the master: "What about Chen Dong's family?"
This time, the master was stopped. He could only point Shao Peichen in the direction of Chen Jinjun's yard, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Shao Peichen.
As Shao Peichen walked, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Declare war? Yongzhou declares war on Chaiyang?
Is Huo Tingyu crazy? Now that he is "dead", of course he has no way to use his position to communicate with Huo Tingyu about the situation of the war. If a fight really breaks out, there will probably be many casualties on both sides.
While walking, Shao Peichen suddenly remembered that Lu Ze and He Cheng were originally going to fight Pingqiu, but when Huo Tingyu made a fuss by declaring war and demanding compensation, they couldn't fight Pingqiu.
But correspondingly, can Yongzhou really compete with Chaiyang, who has the Republic of China government behind him?
Shao Peichen only knew the situation in Chaiyang and Yucheng, but knew nothing about the situation in Yongzhou, so for a while, he could not accurately analyze what would happen if a war broke out between the two.
With this thought in mind, Shao Peichen arrived at the door of Chen Jinjun's yard.
Chen Jinjun had also gotten up early and was tapping her account books in the study. When she heard Shao Peichen coming, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, but still let Shao Peichen into her study.
Seeing that Chen Jinjun was still looking at her account books, Shao Peichen couldn't help but frowned: "Huo Tingyu went to declare war with Lu Ze?"
Chen Jinjun continued to look at the account books without raising his head: "Yes."
"Can Yongzhou fight Chaiyang? Can Yongzhou really withstand the weapons I mentioned last time?" Shao Peichen asked Chen Jinjun anxiously, not showing the calmness he had in the past few days.
The current situation has changed too quickly and is completely out of Shao Peichen's control. This feeling of being unable to control the situation really makes Shao Peichen feel panicked.
Chen Jinjun still looked at the account book in his hand: "Master Shao, don't panic, this battle will probably not be fought."
"Lu Ze is unwilling to fight, but maybe the others will be beaten!" Shao Peichen was so anxious that he could not sit still on the chair in the study.
Chen Jinjun finally closed the account book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Shao Peichen: "If you really want to fight, then let's fight."
After saying that, Chen Jinjun stood up and said, "Master Shao, would you like to go to the Yongzhou government office to see us?"
