Chapter 229 This boy is definitely not a good match!

"You seem very confident and feel that everything is under your control?"

Looking at Ye Mingsheng, Cui Shao asked calmly:

Ye Mingsheng was somewhat noncommittal about Cui Shao's speech. He knew that Cui Shao must have something else to say to him. Sure enough, before Ye Mingsheng could answer, Cui Shao continued:
"Ye Mingsheng, you are indeed a talented person. You are good at playing tricks and trying to figure out other people's minds. Your methods are also very bold. But the biggest mistake you made was being too bold and putting yourself in danger!"

"Everything you did was nothing more than trying to sow discord between my Cui family and the Governor, so as to complete the order given to you by Chen Dechang."

"You did a great job on this, and you succeeded!"

"But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Have you ever thought about what I will do next?"

Hearing Cui Shao say this, the expression on Ye Mingsheng's face gradually restrained. He began to realize that he seemed to have underestimated Cui Shao, his "third uncle"!

"Now that you have gotten rid of Old Man Wang, the Governor has become suspicious of the Cui family. How about I hand you over to the Governor?" Cui Shao said slowly:

Ye Mingsheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "You won't do that!"

"Oh? Do you think Chen Dechang will break up with the Cui family because of you?" Cui Shao smiled and said:

"Do not!

"In his eyes, I, Ye Mingsheng, am just a chess piece. He will not risk his life for me and Cui Jiayu."

Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said, at the end he changed his tone, met Cui Shao's gaze, and said solemnly

"But I have 7,000 people in Erlang Mountain, while the garrison of Guangning Prefecture has only 5,000 people, and some of them are scattered in the surrounding towns..."

Although Ye Mingsheng's words were very obscure, Cui Shao immediately understood what Ye Mingsheng meant. With a hint of coldness on his face, he said coldly:
"No one has dared to speak to me like this in many years. Young people should not be so aggressive!"

“If you are not passionate, can you still be called a young man?

"All the seven thousand men under my command are willing to fight to the death for me, Ye Mingsheng!"

"If Lord Cui wants to take a gamble, I will take over!" Ye Mingsheng said with a firm look in his eyes, without hesitation:

As soon as these words were spoken, sparks flew between Ye Mingsheng and Cui Shao's eyes and they started to confront each other. After a moment, Cui Shao picked up the teacup and slammed it heavily on the table.

"boom!"

Ye Mingsheng, who was being "served tea and seen off", immediately stood up and walked out of Cui Shao's study without any hesitation.

Watching Ye Mingsheng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Cui Shao suddenly spoke without any warning:
"What do you think of Ye Mingsheng?"

As soon as Cui Shao said this, a secret door in the study opened, and a young woman wearing a black veil walked out. Although she used a veil to cover her face, through the black veil, one could vaguely see her stunning appearance and a pair of charming eyes...
This woman is none other than An Miaoyi, the niece of An Zhirong, the financial backer behind Ye Mingsheng and the youngest daughter of An Hetu, the head of the An family! "She is very bold and resourceful, and she lives up to her eagle-eyed and wolf-watching demeanor!"

An Miaoyi's voice was very soft, but her words were full of praise for Ye Mingsheng!

Cui Shao was silent for a while after hearing this before he said with emotion:

"At first, I thought that Xiaoyun's son came here just to ask the Cui family to help him recruit soldiers. Later, when I learned that he had sent troops to Erlang Mountain, I realized that he wanted to sow discord between the Cui family and Song Wenhui!"

"But it was not until just now that I figured out the true meaning of what Ye Mingsheng did!"

"He is showing his strength to the Cui family!" An Miaoyi said softly:

"That's right. He didn't come here on behalf of the Zhenwu Army this time. He came here on his own behalf! He has the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf. His ambition is really big. He has less than 10,000 men and horses, but he wants to stir up the situation and make our Cui family support him!" Cui Shao shook his head and sighed:

"I took a look at Ye Mingsheng's father, that young military leader, in the past. He was just a brave and reckless man. How could he have given birth to a son like Ye Mingsheng?"

An Miaoyi's eyes flickered with beauty, and she continued:

"My uncle promised to help Ye Mingsheng recruit 10,000 soldiers from the beginning, but Ye Mingsheng never asked him for help. He was just trying to prevent my uncle from taking the opportunity to interfere with his subordinates."

"So he probably never thought of seeking help from the Cui family from the beginning. His goal should be Wang Laogun's 3,000 men. With those 3,000 men, he would have just enough 10,000 men to complete the task assigned to him by Chen Dechang."

Looking at An Miaoyi, Cui Shao hesitated for a moment and said:
"What do you think of An Zhirong's proposal, Miaoyi?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I will have to bear the reputation of being the reincarnation of Baosi and bringing disaster to the country and the people for the rest of my life..." An Miaoyi said helplessly with some resentment:
"I don't know which bastard arranged so many things for you, Miaoyi, making you, a good girl, suffer so much humiliation out of nothing!" Cui Shao shook his head and said:
"I've been troubled by your uncle for these years to help me find a good family. It's Miaoyi's own fate that is bad..." An Miaoyi said faintly:
"That's all trivial. I really didn't expect that this bastard An Zhirong was so impatient that he actually thought of letting you marry a poor boy in order to get you married as soon as possible!" Cui Shao angrily scolded:
"He found out that I bribed his concubine. My uncle is really petty..."

"I have made up my mind. If he forces me again, I will choose Ye Mingsheng!" A cunning look flashed in An Miaoyi's eyes.

Cui Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then he warned very seriously:
"Miaoyi, you can't mess around with this important matter in life. People like Ye Mingsheng, who have the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf, are mostly heartless. He stabbed Xu Zhaojie in the palace and now wants to betray Chen Dechang. He is thinking about establishing his own territory and competing for supremacy in the world. You can see what kind of character he has!"

"This kind of hero will either reach the pinnacle of success and create a great career, or be defeated and killed, with his body and karma wiped out. There is absolutely no third way!"

"This boy is definitely not a good match!"

"Uncle, I'm not acting on impulse. I've been observing Ye Mingsheng for a long time..." An Miaoyi said calmly:
"I started to notice Ye Mingsheng when Shen Jianzhong recommended him to my uncle."

"At first, because my uncle wanted to use Ye Mingsheng, I also watched his every move. When I was in Luoan, I hid in the dark and observed him quietly many times."

"I can say that I watched him step by step, siding with Chen Dechang, recruiting He Jingyun, and using tricks on Xu Zhaojie!"
