Chapter 1730 - 1730: New Developments

Second Brother understood the moment he heard this; Ying Zheng was hinting that he should personally take action!

Using Murong Qian as an excuse to mobilize his family!

But he's too clever to act impulsively like those hot-headed brothers.

After all, if things were really that simple, Ying Zheng would have acted himself long ago instead of mobilizing others.

At the moment, he laughed and said, "Eldest, you're joking. I'm almost engaged now; I can't be caught in those outdated affections. If this gets to my fiancée's ears, I can't afford the consequences!"

The brothers burst into laughter upon hearing this!

"No way, Second Brother, are you actually afraid of your wife?! The future sister-in-law isn't even here yet, and you're already abiding by the rules?"

"Hahaha, if word gets out that Second Brother is afraid of his wife, it'll be a great laugh throughout the Capital City; you'll become known as the henpecked husband!"

Second Brother watched as this bunch of clueless brothers teased him but did not retort, only smiling silently.

Ying Zheng saw this and, although he laughed along, realized Second Brother was a slick character!

Even with his dissatisfaction, he didn't explode but simply said calmly, "Alright then, since Second Brother needs to avoid suspicion, are there any other brothers willing to ease my worries? This matter has become urgent, and our deceased brothers are waiting for revenge. Whoever can take care of those remnants will earn great merit from me! When I ascend the throne, any prime position in the kingdom's renewal will be theirs to choose from!"

The brothers were extremely excited and astonished upon hearing this!

This was the first time Ying Zheng personally promised to grant lucrative posts; they'd been waiting for these words!

Immediately, the crowd exchanged glances, and someone stepped forward and said, "Eldest, on behalf of the Gu family, I volunteer. I am willing to return to Jiangdong to avenge our brothers!"

"Indeed, and we're with the Gong Family too! I refuse to believe that the remnants have turned into a monster with three heads and six arms!"

"Count me in! Eldest, I will avoid the pitfalls that befell Ninth Brother and Eleventh Brother, be cautious, and complete the task perfectly, giving you a satisfactory account!"

Ying Zheng felt relieved seeing that his brothers were not frightened by Jiang Fengxin's terrifying show of strength but were still eager to try.

He glanced at all the brothers, focusing on Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, and smiled, "Let's do this: Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, you always said I don't think of you in times of need and don't give you a chance to gain merit. This time you'll make the trip! Remember, I have only one request – pay extra attention to safety; if you find the remnants are tricky to handle, come back immediately. Even if the task fails, don't let anyone die again, understood?"

"Understood, Eldest!"

Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother nodded eagerly and affirmed!

"Additionally, I must emphasize, use your brains!"

Ying Zheng pointedly reminded them, "For instance, I mentioned that Jiang has a wife in Binhai; do you understand? It's best to leverage this. Often, to achieve our goals, we must use any means necessary, as a detour can still overtake!"

Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother suddenly understood, exchanged knowing smiles, and nodded again, saying, "Eldest, we understand!"

"Alright, go now! I have faith in you; whatever happens, don't be complacent. I'm waiting to celebrate your return." Ying Zheng waved his hand, dismissing Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother.

The other brothers were naturally not happy, with some still wanting to compete. Ying Zheng waved them off, saying, "Alright, that's it for today; I won't keep you for dinner. However, regarding Ninth Brother, Eleventh Brother, and the affairs of Twelfth Brother's families, start sealing off information now to prevent a major upheaval; otherwise, once it spreads, it will negatively impact me."

The brothers exchanged looks and could only say, "Yes!"

Then they hurriedly took their leave.

Meanwhile, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother had already walked out of the courtyard house.

"Fifth Brother, we've landed such a good opportunity, but with the precedent of Ninth Brother and the others, we can't take it lightly. Returning home this time, we must directly mobilize the family's elite forces and truly unite, forming a strong alliance without inner conflict or treachery..."

"Of course I know!"

Sixth Brother nodded and said, "This operation is both an opportunity and a challenge for our two families; we mustn't fail in the shadows. We'll work together on this and return to Eldest for our reward once the task is finished..."

...

Jiangdong Provincial City, Yanchi Villa.

As time approached mid-morning, Jiang Feng hadn't come out of his room yet.

He returned from the Capital City last night at dawn, so he was still catching up on sleep.

Wu Feng, Abraham, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and others only knew at dawn that the villa suddenly acquired many treasures, each worth a fortune, and filled three carts!

These three carts were naturally transported by Jiang Feng himself, Dong Ruyan, and Shangguan Wan'er from the Capital City; though they arrived in the dark, they waited until daylight to let Wu Feng and others arrange them.

Wu Feng wouldn't have imagined his master had pulled off another big move last night, but he knew better than to ask, quickly directing his men to sort the transported items.

But just because they didn't disturb Jiang Feng doesn't mean others wouldn't.

While Jiang Feng slept comfortably, suddenly two people burst into the room. One of them quickly pulled off Jiang Feng's blanket, playfully scolding him, "Stop sleeping, the sun's up!"

Jiang Feng quickly turned over to see Shangguan Wan'er and Dong Ruyan standing behind him!

He was speechless; these two women accompanied him throughout the night, yet they didn't need sleep? Disturbing his morning slumber...

"Ah! Jiang Feng, you... how could you..."

Dong Ruyan's face turned red instantly as Jiang Feng turned, embarrassed, facing away, her face flushed, avoiding her gaze.

It turns out Jiang Feng was sleeping naked, completely exposed, no wonder the two women were so shocked, the visual impact was too strong!

Jiang Feng was increasingly speechless, hurriedly pulling the blanket over himself.

After returning to his room last night, he washed up and went straight to sleep, naturally not bothering with clothes.

He said grumpily as he sat up, "What brings you two here again, are you rested?"

"Jiang Feng, you can sleep?! Shangguan Wan'er, though very shy, retorted, "We haven't properly slept since coming back. Aren't you worried about the commotion in the Capital City? Aren't you afraid of causing a stir nationwide, and then being traced back to us?"
