Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 71.1

The stronghold of the Third Prince wasnt very far from the county. Mo Chenke and his men traveled day and night, and it took only 7 days to get back. Its not that he was in a hurry to go back to war, but the Third Prince used to have countless concubines besides the Princess, and the children of these people werent as unlucky as Mo Chenke who was raised by a peasant family.

Furthermore, almost every one of them were in the Princes Mansion. They have studied with their teachers since they were children. They have studied literature many times, and there are also many of them who practiced martial arts.

This time, the Third Prince rebelled, and there were eight sons who followed him into the army alone. These eight may not be as talented as Mo Chenke in military matters. However, they all grew up together around the Third Prince. Some of them knew that they werent as good as other brothers in battle. Although they couldnt fight, they never lost their etiquette, and they were very good at winning peoples hearts.

Even the brother who was mediocre in everything had his maternal family behind him.

By all accounts, Mo Chenke, the newly recognized son, was the weakest.

Thankfully, none of these eight brothers were legitimate, but since childhood were instilled with the fact that the children born of the Princess will inherit the throne in the future. Although the Third Prince now aspired for the throne, they dont necessarily have to be the first born in order to inherit the fathers throne. However, the attitude and nature cultivated from an early age wasnt so easy to change. So, even if there were thoughts in the bottom of their hearts, their attitude toward the Princess-born son was still respectful.

Only Mo Chenke, who was raised by the Lin family as a cherished baby, and even if his eating and drinking wasnt as fine as these half-brothers, he developed an overbearing personality that even the Princesss son didnt have. Compared with the brothers who were timid because of their identity, no matter how they thought about it, Mo Chenkes appearance of doing what he wanted won the favor of the Third Prince.

Superior people tend to take it one step at a time. Despite the fact that the Third Prince now only occupies one state and hadnt yet completely conquered the world, he was already choosing his preferred heirs.

The first son of the Prince was certainly not good. Although he was the Princesss, his body was very weak. The world was in decline, and what was needed was an iron-blooded Prince. He himself was quite iron-blooded, but he wasnt sure that he would be able to train this son in the ways of martial arts to become a warrior before he succeeds to the throne. However, people only need the appearance of a good monarch.

After all, he was so old that he could only live for 20 more years at most, and his body was really poor. Even though there was no shortage of delicacies and medicine in the Princes Mansion, he still looked frail. The Third Prince wasnt even sure whether he would live long enough to ascend the throne.

If the only direct heir wasnt going to have a long life, there was no need to waste time. He immediately set his eyes on other sons who knew how to fight, but it was a pity that they were either not brave enough or too brave, or everything looked good, but they had no intention of winning.

That is, until Mo Chenke broke into his line of sight, wearing his jade pendant.

Unlike those concubine sons, Mo Chenke was a very confident man, very brave in the military, and never concealed his admiration for his father. In addition, he said, I have known that he wasnt my biological father since the age of 5, and I have been looking forward to finding my real father. After having fun and throwing the woman away, the Third Prince, who didnt even think of the results of his one-night stand, had a trace of guilt and regret.

He had a lot of sons, but even the least favored wasnt like Mo Chenke, who was raised by a peasant family. He also thought that the family wouldnt treat the child who wasnt their own any good. It should have been difficult for this child, but he actually developed such a confident nature.

He must have inherited it from him, his real father.

The Third Prince recognized his son, and made no secret of his affection. The scene was beautiful, but the eyes of the eight brothers immediately focused on Mo Chenke. While they were striving for peace on the surface, they were suddenly cut off by foreign bast*rd?

It cant be tolerated!

Mo Chenke began to get targeted. Even when he was sent out by his father to sever relations with his former family, he didnt dare to stay outside for too long, for fear that the brothers would do something sinister again if he came back late.

Isnt it because there was no maternal family power behind him?

When he marries the daughter of the General, does he still have to be afraid of them?

He rushed all the way back to the camp and first saluted the Third Prince, concealing the fact that he had hidden the 2200 taels, saying only that the Lin family had severed relations with him, and then expressed admiration that this son could finally become his fathers son openly and honestly.

The Third Prince was very fond of this newly recognized son who could fight, and was subconsciously assured of his work, so he didnt ask in detail, only patting his chest and letting him hurry back to rest.

When Mo Chenke opened the curtain and went out, he happened to meet his Third Brother, one of the eight brothers, and immediately held a fist to him and saluted, Greetings, Third Elder Brother.

The Third Brothers mother, a side concubine of the Princes Mansion, was originally quite favored. He disliked Mo Chenke, an illegitimate son who had taken away his fathers love. He only pulled a shallow smile with a cold face. Fifteenth Younger Brother had been gone for half a month. I wonder what kind of work were you doing and where?

The fact that his own mother remarried has always been a taboo subject for Mo Chenke. When asked by the Third Prince, he said that his mother pretended to marry in order to save her child. After getting married, she kept herself for the Third Prince all the time, and didnt let his stepfather touch her until her death, which greatly aroused the favor of the Third Prince. But he knew, since Lin Shiheng regarded him as his own son, his mother must have been touched by him. Now, the Third Prince loved him because he had suffered a lot for many years. If the Prince knew that his mother had been touched, this love would be lost.

With this idea in mind, Mo Chenke has always been able to talk about his mother without actually going all out. Now, after listening to the Third Brothers question, he also pulled up his mouth like him, Nothing, its just that Father had some things to do and this younger brother went out to do them.

Old Thirds eyes sank, his sullen face looked at the illegitimate child who didnt know how to be humble.

He was an elder brother, even if his attitude wasnt good, as a younger brother, he shouldnt show that attitude and fight back. It was okay if he was the first son, even the second. This Mo Chenke was clearly a son of a concubine, who was inferior to the lowest dancer, but every day he looked like he wanted to be on an equal footing with them and even look down on them, that made everyone very unhappy.

When he thought that Old Fourth had already joined his alliance with the intention of getting rid of Mo Chenke, Old Third barely suppressed the fury in his heart.

Since Fifteenth Younger Brother doesnt want to talk about it, thats it. Ill go in first to see Father.

He saluted, lifted the curtain and walked in.

Mo Chenke was too lazy to pay attention to these cynical sons of concubines, thinking that he couldnt see the return salute when he walked in anyway, he simply turned away without returning the salute.

Witnessing this scene, the Princes soldiers at the scene didnt show anything on the surface, but the bottom of their hearts, they felt that this Mo Chenke was raised by peasants without rules. But when they thought about how the Third Prince liked him, and that the Fifteenth Young Master was in the limelight recently, all of them kept silent. They hid those short lived thoughts in their hearts.

However, all the soldiers who followed Mo Chenke out saw his attitude towards the Lins who loved him like that.

Every one of them had calculations in their hearts.

When Mo Chenke had just returned to the barracks, Lin Shiheng was also preparing his own rebellion plan.

After getting that silver, that night, he sat with his three sons on a crude bed that night, and hid the silver under the bed. At first glance, it was just a wooden bed with broken sides and missing corners, filled with some discarded wood scraps. When the black cloth was brought back, he told the women at home to sew clothes. He took his three sons in shady black clothes and followed the news about the bandits all the way up the mountain.

In ancient times, there werent many people walking the night road, so the mountain bandits didnt work at night. Apart from a few mountain bandits who kept dozing off during nightwatch, they didnt meet any people along the way, which allowed them to find the bandits den smoothly. Night was usually the time for husband and wife activities, while in the mountain bandits den, it was the time for some mountain bandits to get their hands on the captives captured on the mountain.

Lin Shiheng first took his sons to listen around the houses without lights. Basically, nothing moved, apparently, they were all asleep. Then, he wandered around the houses that were lit, listening to people talking inside and women crying. Roughly, some innocent women were forced to serve, some resisted and were tortured, and some were threatened to serve. After listening around, he knew clearly what these mountain bandits were.

The three sons, who have never done this, followed their father closely and were afraid to even breathe a little. They were quick to do their usual work, and they were used to listening to their fathers words. Even though they were nervous, they didnt make any noise. After listening to several lit rooms in a row, they were taken out of the mountain bandits den by their father.

When they got into the mountains, Lin Shiheng took off the black cloth covering his face, What did you hear?

His three sons legs shook, trembling with fear. Todays experience was simply more exciting than everything in the first half of their lives. At the moment, they could only feel that their tongues were numb and couldnt reply.One of them received quite a shock, only after his fathers intimidation, he stammered out a sentence.

Before, the two women didnt do it willingly, from what the bandit inside said, their husbands were killed and their children were left behind as leverage to blackmail them.

There was also a room, where I could hear the sound of whips swinging. Coupled with the words of the mountain bandits inside, it should be severe torture.

Father, the mountain bandits are so fierce, why are we eavesdropping on what theyre doing? If they discover us, listening to those mountain bandits words, except for the young boys who wont remember, they would kill everyone.

Lin Shiheng moved his muscles and bones, Naturally, I came up to see if theyre pitiful people who were forced to become outlaws.

The three sons looked at each other in the moonlight, How can the mountain bandits be pitiful? I dont know how many people had died under the mountain bandits swords.

Its good that they arent pitiful.

Lin Shiheng patted his sons on the shoulders one by one, saying, If you know how hateful they are, you dont have to spare them.

Although they didnt quite understand what their father was saying, they couldnt help shuddering at the smile he showed when he said this sentence. Strange, why do they feel like their father was smiling in a very wicked way?

Lin Shiheng was really up to no good.

He didnt hide it either.
