After Hua Mo, who was an outsider, left, the atmosphere in the study became more strange and depressing.

The father and son looked at each other and were silent for a long time before Zeng Sheng spoke: "Father...... Is this man telling the truth? You...... Are we all Jurchens? To this day, he still has a hard time accepting this fact.

Zeng Lang sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "My father had no intention of hiding it from you in this matter, but because he knew that it was difficult for you to accept this fact, he never said it." Yes, my Zeng family is indeed from today's Jin Kingdom, my father is a Jurchen, and so is the biological mother of your two brothers, as for your three brothers, they were born to my wife after I settled here, but in terms of blood, you are also all from my Jurchen clan. ”

These words made Zeng Sheng's expression change again, and his body trembled a little. Zeng Suo, his face was calm at this time, and after glancing at his younger brother, he said slowly: "What the hell is going on?" Father, are you ordered to come to the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Well...... But it was thirty years ago......" was asked by his son, Zeng Ling couldn't help but recall everything at the beginning, and his face couldn't help but show a look of remembrance: "My father is indeed the Great Song Dynasty who came by order, but it is not what you think, and I really have any plans for the Great Song Dynasty." In fact, thirty years ago, the Jurchen people had not yet established a state, and were still under the rule of the Liao people, so they could not imagine that they would have today.

"At that time, the tribesmen lived in poverty, but they had to be exploited by the Khitans, and it was extremely difficult to even eat and clothe themselves. So, the patriarch at that time came up with the idea of attaching the Great Song Dynasty and opening up my Jurchen homeland in the Song Kingdom again. And I am one of the executors, and the only one who finally succeeded in taking root in the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of the power of the Jurchen clan to support me that I can lay a foundation here in Lingzhou, as Hua Mo just said, I do owe too much to the clan in this matter. Even if I send half of the business office to the north every year, it is still not enough to repay the debt I owed. What's more, I am a Jurchen myself, and I should serve the country.

"This year, because of the snow disaster, there is a shortage of food in the Jin Kingdom, and even the army can't afford to raise it, so they will hit the capital city of the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, you and I both know very well that with the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, the money and grain of a state capital alone is enough to help the Jurchen clan survive this winter. In this case, I naturally want to do my best to help them, and you, as the sons of my former sons and the descendants of the Jurchens, are naturally duty-bound in this matter! ”

After saying this, the two sons fell silent again. After a while, Zeng Suocai looked at his father and said, "Father, just because of this, you disregard the life and death of thousands of people in my Zengtou City, and recklessly want to cooperate with the Jurchens and invade the Great Song City?" ”

"As long as things are done well enough, nothing big will happen. Especially now, because Qingzhou Sun Tu intends to send troops to Liangshan and all the soldiers and horses in the state capitals of Shandong are exhausted, it gives us the opportunity to break the city. So'er, I know that you have the most important thoughts and the most long-term vision, but this matter cannot be changed! In fact, your two brothers knew everything early on, and they agreed to take the risk. ”

Speaking of which, Zeng Suo had nothing to say, so he could only sigh lightly: "Since the father has made up his mind, the child doesn't dare to say anything more, I just hope that we don't want to do things that will make him regret it in the end." ”

Hearing him say this, Zeng Rong was naturally happy in his heart, among the five sons, Zeng Suo was the most assertive, and he was really afraid that this son would make some trouble. Zeng Sheng's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something more, but after seeing Zeng Suo give him a look, he finally shut up and didn't say anything more.

Zeng Lang was relieved when he saw this, he actually knew very well why Zeng Suo had such a violent reaction, just because he was the most promising of the sons of the Zeng family, and he was also the most likely to get rid of the current black and white identity - once he could get close to the Weng Governor's Mansion, he would definitely be able to enter the officialdom with his skills. And now, his future is destined to be completely broken.

With a hint of guilt, the only thing Zeng Lane could say was: "Suo'er, my father knows that you can't accept such a move, if you really don't want to, you can stay out of this matter." ”

"Since this is a decision made by the father and the two brothers, the son will not dare to disobey, and give me a little time." Zeng Suo stood up as he spoke, bowed to his father, and then withdrew from the door with some gloom. In this regard, Zeng Lang didn't have much thought, but watched the two sons go out one after another with some relief.

It wasn't until he got out of the study and walked out of the road to confirm that there was no one else watching around him that Zeng Sheng said with a frightened face: "I didn't expect it to be ...... That's what happened...... Third brother, how is this good? Obviously, what can make him so out of shape is not just the fact that he suddenly knows that he is actually a Jurchen.

Zeng Suo was much more stable, and immediately stopped him from continuing to shout with stern eyes, and said in a low voice: "What are you calling here, are you afraid that no one will know about this?" If you have anything to say, it's not too late for you and me to say it again! ”

Zeng Sheng then closed his voice, followed his brother and hurriedly walked to his own cross-courtyard, until he entered the cross-courtyard, and asked the two of them to guard the vicinity, and after no one approached, Zeng Sheng nervously reminded the old matter again: "Third brother, how is this good?" Father too, he should have told us the truth earlier, but now it's good, it's all leaked...... If we had known that we were Jurchens, we would not have secretly told Lin Chong about this matter. Now, now that I am afraid that the news has been transmitted back to Qingzhou, then Sun Tu may already be making corresponding preparations......" As he spoke, he repeated several times in a row how to be good, and his heart was really completely panicked.

As the so-called day and night prevention of house thieves is difficult to prevent, Zeng never dreamed that his plan had been leaked by his son early in the morning, and it was also leaked to Sun Tu in Qingzhou. And Zeng Sheng did this at the beginning, completely under Zeng Suo's instructions, and the reason is very simple, they really don't like those Jurchens, and they are even more unwilling to kill their own compatriots.

But today, I realized that things were much more complicated than I thought, which made Zeng Sheng feel confused, regretful, and completely unsure of what to do.

"Don't panic, things have come to this point, what's the use of you being in a hurry?" Zeng Suo hurriedly let out a low sigh to stop.

"But ......" Zeng Sheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted again by Zeng Suo: "There is nothing, all you have to do now is to listen to me." Even if what my father said was true, I still couldn't agree with this approach, not because it would hurt the innocent, but because it was a great disaster for us, and once the Jurchens really invaded the state capital, no matter what the final outcome was, my Zeng family would be doomed. ”

Seeing that the fifth brother blinked at himself with some incomprehension, Zeng Suo patiently explained: "If the matter fails, our identity will inevitably be exposed, and then my Zeng family will have no place to stand in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is even more impossible for thousands of of us to leave the Great Song Dynasty, and in the end it will inevitably end up with a ruined family." ”

"What if the siege succeeds? What if no one knew it was all about us? ”

"Even so, we won't gain anything, but there will be a big handle in the hands of that Hua Mo, and it will be even more difficult to draw a line with them in the future." Zeng Suo's eyes flashed with a hint of essence and said, "And do you really think that my father agreed to take such a risk because he was grateful for the help of those Jurchens to us decades ago?" No, he should have been forced to be helpless, if my expectations are correct, the other party should have used our Zeng family's identity as a Jurchen as a threat, so that my father had to agree to cooperate with him! ”

"Actually...... Is that so? Zeng Sheng was a little skeptical.

"Otherwise, why would Hua Mo deliberately stare at his father, and when he found out that you and I wanted to oppose this matter, he suddenly appeared and broke everything. He is obviously explaining everything to us, but in fact, he is rehashing the old story, threatening his father so that he will not change his mind. Zeng thought carefully, and he had already seen through the deep meaning of the scene just now.

"This bastard, I'm going to kill him sooner or later!" When Zeng Sheng heard this, he suddenly became angry in his heart and cursed in a low voice. But then he was a little dazed: "Third brother, what should we do?" You can't tell your father......"

"Originally, we had other choices, but since we had taken a wrong step before, we could only make mistakes and be a great Song people for the country and the people!" Zeng Suo said, his eyes had already flashed with a hint of murderous intent: "As long as we seize the opportunity, we can not only save the people of the city, but also kill all those Jurchens by the way!" At that time, if anyone says that our Zeng family is a Jurchen, no one will believe it anymore. ”

"This ...... Is this really possible? Just you and me? Zeng Sheng asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course, you and I alone are far from enough, but there are many people in Zengtou City who don't want to be in the same league as the Jurchens, especially the two teachers, they are the real people of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they accept such a thing?" Zeng Suo already had a plan in his heart, and there was no embarrassment at this time.

After Zeng Sheng was stunned, he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "The third brother is really thoughtful, indeed, as long as Sect Leader Shi and Teacher Su can stand on our side, even if the eldest brother and second brother have been persuaded by them, we have the strength to compete." ”

"I've never said I'm going to fight them head-on, and it's better to do some things in the shadows if you want them to do what you want." Zeng Suo suddenly smiled.

Since the Jurchens made the first year of junior high school, don't blame him for doing the fifteenth, let them reap the consequences!
