In Lu Xu's opinion, Ding Nian just brought a big deal to him. And Lu Xu felt that Ding Nian did this absolutely not out of his own free will.
In fact, Lu Xu's guess was correct. At this time, Ding Nian had become an ant on the hot pot.
Now he has returned to the official residence of the transfer envoy that originally belonged to him. The Ding family has also been saved, but at this time, he is not happy at all.
It is true that Ding Nian has indeed decided to treason early on. But this does not mean that he will become a rebel! He just wants to be a guide for the people of Beiting, and then live a prosperous life in Beiting.
Just wealth.
How could he have imagined that the people of Beiting were so ungrateful to martial ethics? He was so surprised that he was labeled as a rebel on his head, Ding Nian!
He is more or less self-aware in his youth. His ability alone is not enough to support him from becoming a rebel.
Even Wen Yuanzhong couldn't defeat him. How could he expect him to lead a rebellion and attack the imperial city? This is unthinkable!
Moreover, he is not a person with particularly high prestige or high official position in Ding Nian. He has no ability to call on the heroes of the world to come and "participate in grand events" with him.
More importantly, rebelling at this time of year is not a glorious thing. It would be nice if the real hero didn't come to kill him, so how could he "join the grand event" with him?
None of the above is the most terrible thing!
The most terrible thing is that he, the rebel leader, is completely expendable.
Precisely because he has the above shortcomings, if one day the Beiting people really need to establish a puppet regime on the land of Daliang, then the leader of this regime will not be his Ding Nian, but someone with less outstanding abilities.
People whose bones are soft enough and whose original official position and prestige are high enough.
In other words, if Beiting fails to defeat Daliang in this battle, then he, the rebel of Daliang, will basically be dead.
But even if Beiting defeated Daliang, he would be nothing more than a chess piece that could be thrown away after being used.
The risk is so high and the return is so low. He is not a fool in his youth? How could he take the initiative to do such an uneconomical deal?
But......
Ding Nian looked at the Beiting soldiers "personally protecting" his family outside his door, and he had to accept the reality.
When King Youxian made this decision, he never thought of asking for his opinion!
Ding Nian couldn't help but feel a little sad. Even though he was not a big shot in Daliang official circles before, he had never suffered such humiliation!
However, none of his concubines knew anything about Ding Nian's pain. Those concubines only knew that Ding Nian seemed to have become more powerful through the power of the Beiting people.
Seeing that Ding Nian seems to be about to become a big shot that they could not even imagine before, the concubines have been beaming with joy recently.
Just when Ding Nian was looking sad, his concubines were chattering and discussing which jewelry to wear today.
When Ding Nian heard about the jewelry, his head was as big as two!
Of course, those jewelry were not his, but were given to him by people from Beiting. Moreover, these jewelry were not given to him for free, they were given to him to use as military pay.
Don't think that the people of Beiting are particular people. They seem to have given Ding Nian military pay. But there is a saying that goes well - "When a cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold."
War is the top luxury product in the world! How much gold and silver treasures are useless in the face of war.
Not to mention whether the people in Beiting gave him a lot of gold and silver jewelry? Let's just say that what the people in Beiting gave him was a one-time deal. If he only gave it this time, it would be enough for Ding Nian.
The people from Beiting obviously wanted Ding Nian to scrape the land again on Qinfeng Road. If he couldn't scrape it off, they would have to let him do something dirty and use inhumane means to force him to fight Lu Xu.
But the land on Qin Feng Road has been scraped several times. No matter how superb Ding Nian's methods are, he can't scrape out enough funds to finance the war.
The people of Beiting want to make Ding Nian completely shouting and beating him on Qinfeng Road!
This is a clear signal, that is, in the eyes of the people of Beiting, at least in the eyes of King Youxian, he is a discarded son who can be thrown away after use.
This made Ding Nian feel more and more irritable.
Now I hear that those concubines are still discussing how to divide the jewelry? Doesn’t this mean that he will die?
Ding Nian's anger immediately rose, and he roared: "Enough! When did this happen? Do you still care about these jewelry? Do you want me to die?"
The concubines were frightened by Ding Nian's voice. Ding Nian was about to continue squirting!
But he didn't expect that if some people were afraid of him, then naturally some people would not be afraid of him.
When Ding Nian finished his voice, there was a "bang" sound! A middle-aged woman just slapped the crime!
That person was Ding Nian's wife. Mrs. Ding pointed at Ding Nian's nose and cursed: "You old thing, how do you show off your authority at home?"
"You've made a lot of money out there, so why don't the women at home just drink some soup with you?"
"I'm telling you, if you old guy feels uncomfortable, let's open the door and talk away!"
When Mrs. Ding roared like this, Ding Nian was so frightened that he immediately went up to cover Mrs. Ding's mouth.
Mrs. Ding shook off Ding Nian's hand unceremoniously: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
After saying that, Mrs. Ding looked at Ding Nian with disdain: "We are not allowed to benefit from the benefits, and now we are not even allowed to speak?"
"I'll leave it here today! You have to give me this benefit even if you want to, and you have to give it if you don't want to!"
The concubines looked at the tense situation between the madam and her husband. They all seemed to be trembling with fear, but in reality they were full of expectation. Concubines are the best at observing people's behavior, and they could tell at a glance that Madam Ding should have the upper hand now, so
This means that they can also benefit a lot.
Different from ordinary back houses, the Ding family's back house is extremely harmonious. The reason is also very simple, that is, Mrs. Ding is really a powerful woman.
Mrs. Ding was born in a general family, and she practiced martial arts like boys since she was a child. As an adult, she not only has a strong figure, but also has an extremely strong and courageous personality.
She knew that her appearance was not outstanding, and her husband was a lecherous man. Therefore, she never expected her husband's love, and he only managed her own small life.
She doesn't care about her husband's concubinage. As long as Ding Nian doesn't use her money to support the concubine, she won't care about it.
However, if any concubine dared to play tricks on her, she would not bother to play some kind of house fight with them, and would just kill them or sell them.
Ding Nian once quarreled with Mrs. Ding over this matter, but Mrs. Ding was really not afraid of Ding Nian. She even dared to fight Ding Nian when she was pushed. As time went by, no one dared to put dirt in her eyes.
.
Not only that, the concubines also found that as long as they coaxed the mistress of the house, they could live well at home even if their husband had a new love.
So gradually, the concubines began to have one heart with Mrs. Ding!
