Chapter 813 If you have the guts to run, you should have the guts to take a beating.
As we all know, fathers-in-law usually put on airs, while mothers-in-law typically don't. They just patiently educate their sons-in-law, and if they say something hurtful, they might even shed a couple of tears.
My dearest mother and great-uncle!
Yang Shaofeng stood up abruptly and looked at Zhu Biao, saying, "Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhu Biao was completely dumbfounded.
Laugh to death.
If I had a good solution, would I need to humbly ask you here?
Also, when you went to Japan, you seemed very confident. I thought you had a way to escape this calamity.
Now it seems that you, Yang, were really having a fit of madness back then, and didn't think about the consequences at all.
Zhu Biao became increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and couldn't help but stand up, saying, "Now we only have two paths in front of us."
Yang Shaofeng was overjoyed.
Look, look, even in this situation, they can still think of two ways out. No wonder they are the famous black sesame dumplings in history!
"The first option is to obediently wait for Chen Zhong to bring his men to arrest us, and then obediently go back to the capital to get beaten up."
Ok?
This is just sitting here and waiting to die!
Yang Shaofeng simply snorted coldly and said, "Then I choose the second path."
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he said, "The second option is to go all in. Before my parents send anyone to arrest us, we should go to Liaodong to find Hu Weiyong, and then go to the Duke of E from Liaodong. When the Duke of E returns to the capital with his troops, we can go back to the capital together."
"There is one advantage to doing this."
"The first task was to help the Dengzhou fleet explore the sea route from Dengzhou to Liaodong."
"The second task is to help the Dengzhou fleet figure out the sea routes."
"As for the third one, it's that we have military tallies and royal command flags, so we can directly lead troops to attack Yanran."
Zhu Biao's voice was like the whisper of a devil: "With my cousin Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, and your three good students, brother-in-law, we might just be able to carve our names on Yanran Mountain."
Yang Shaofeng looked Zhu Biao up and down, then asked with suspicion, "Is Your Highness serious?"
Zhu Biao nodded, "Of course I'm serious."
“If we go back now, we’ll definitely get a beating. Once we run to Liaodong, my mother will be too worried to even think about beating us.”
"The most important thing is that after we inscribe the Yanran Mountain, my mother can't possibly let us go to the celebration and receive rewards with our faces bruised and swollen, can she?"
This time, Yang Shaofeng was dumbfounded.
Whether it's a grand display of filial piety or not, the key question is how the person behind the black sesame glutinous rice ball came up with such a solution.
Is this because they think he's not dying fast enough, so they're just adding fuel to the fire?
The problem is, you're asking for your own death, but why did you have to drag me into it?
Inscribed on Yanran Mountain? What a load of rubbish!
I am just a lazy bum who never wants to rise above my station. I have never had any idea of inscribing my name on Yanran Mountain, let alone coveting the title of Marquis of Champion!
"I will choose the first option."
Yang Shaofeng smacked his lips and said directly, "Choosing the first path, the worst outcome is just being flogged."
"Besides, you are the Crown Prince and I am the Imperial Son-in-Law. Even if I am beaten, I will have to put a pad on my body first, and those dead eunuchs who are torturing me will never dare to really hurt me."
"But if we choose the second path, it's hard to say whether we can inscribe our names on Yanran Mountain, but there's a high chance that they'll be hung on the city gate tower to dry in the wind."
Zhu Biao paused again, then asked, "What about my younger brother?"
"I've taken the blame for the unauthorized military campaign against the Japanese, and I've also taken the infamy of building a mound of skulls with short, ugly soldiers. In the end, I'll still get a beating, and I won't even get involved in something as important as inscribing a stone on Yanran Mountain. Haven't I suffered a huge loss?"
Zhu Biao said with a displeased look, "No way, I've never been wronged like this before. Brother-in-law, you have to make it up to me."
Yang Shaofeng was stunned again.
So, your black sesame dumpling map of the Yan Kingdom has become a bit longer, right?
You've been going around in circles, but all you've got in mind is your eye on my men, trying to take a few more!
Just as Yang Shaofeng was mentally ranting, Limpy Wu rushed over, bowed to Zhu Biao and Yang Shaofeng, and said, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, Chen Zhong has arrived."
Zhu Biao looked directly at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Chen Zhong is here!"
Yang Shaofeng said with a dark face, "I heard it, Chen Zhong is here!"
Suppressing the urge to run away, Yang Shaofeng turned to Lame Wu and instructed, "Have someone arrange a good meal for Chen Zhong, and also for the men he brought. And while you're at it, find me two thick cushions."
Zhu Biao added, "Tell Chen Zhong that my brother-in-law and I are temporarily unavailable to see him, and to ask him to wait."
After Limpy Wu left to receive his orders, Zhu Biao started pacing around. After a while, he looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "According to the schedule, I'm afraid Chen Zhong will be sent to Dengzhou as soon as my letter arrives in the capital."
Zhu Biao clicked his tongue and said, "They're up to no good."
Yang Shaofeng sat back down in the recliner, grabbed his calf, and said, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."
As the saying goes, whether you stick your head out or not, you'll still get a beating.
"Otherwise, let's go directly to Chen Zhong."
“Perfect timing. I was just about to ask Chen Zhong for a few eunuchs who know how to castrate themselves.”
Zhu Biao glanced at Yang Shaofeng's calves and thought to himself, "You really are a master of eating lamp wick ash and farting with ease!"
If you're so brave, then don't let your legs tremble!
While inwardly cursing, Zhu Biao said, "It would be good to see Chen Zhong first."
"After all, this time the trouble they caused was quite serious."
"As long as my brother-in-law agrees to give me some compensation, I'll take the beating for him and the Marquis of Nan'an!"
"If my younger brother really can't handle it, then I'll have to trouble my brother-in-law to help me carry it."
After a slight pause, Zhu Biao added, "In short, let's memorize everything and let the Marquis of Nan'an and the soldiers on the expedition get some military merit."
Yang Shaofeng almost laughed out of anger at Zhu Biao.
Explain to me what you mean by giving me some compensation.
What do you mean by saying that if you can't handle it, then I'll have to help you handle it?
So in the end, Yu Tongyuan and the soldiers of the Dengzhou fleet benefited, while we were the ones who got beaten up?
While inwardly cursing Heizhima Tangyuan for being so inhuman, Yang Shaofeng said, "Alright, let's meet Chen Zhong first and see what he has to say."
……
It turns out that some people are born to be bad seeds—eating, drinking, and then beating up the cook.
For example, Chen Zhong and the imperial guards he brought with him.
"This servant was only acting under orders, please forgive me, Your Highness and the Prince Consort."
Chen Zhong had a fawning smile on his face, but that didn't stop him from having Zhu Biao and Yang Shaofeng tied to stools.
"The Empress said: Since you two scoundrels dared to run to Japan, you should be prepared to be beaten."
"Your Majesty also said: 'As the ancients said, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, hence the saying, "While parents are alive, one should not travel far; if one must travel, one should have a fixed destination." But you two, without a word, ran off to Japan. Have you wasted all your time reading those classic texts?'"
Chen Zhong perfectly imitated Empress Ma's tone of voice, then ordered the four imperial guards, "Attack!"
