Chapter 867 The Northern Wei Dynasty’s first plan to enter officialdom!
"Brother Cui, the imperial city is in chaos right now. You are known for your wisdom and strategy. I wonder what your plans are going to be next?"

"Are you just going to sit in the Cui family compound and watch the situation change?"

Then, the young man gently picked up a white piece, played with it in his hand for a moment, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he smiled.

The white piece in his hand was suspended in mid-air, and it seemed that even the action of placing the piece became hesitant because of this sudden topic.

"The world is like a game of chess, and every step is carefully planned. Although Yin Jingyi is radical in his actions, he is ambitious and has a large number of troops. When he starts this rebellion, he will definitely recruit talented people to strengthen his momentum."

Upon hearing this, Cui Hao gently stroked a black piece on the chessboard with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and then gently dropped it, and the black piece was firmly embedded on the chessboard.

"Although I am not talented, I have a good reputation. How could he let me go? I estimate that Yin Jingyi's recruitment order will reach the Cui family soon."

"As for the means, maybe gentle persuasion, maybe force, or even threaten the lives of the Cui family."

At this point, Cui Hao sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his eyes, but there was no surprise. Instead, he felt a bit relieved as if he had known this would happen.

"Oh? Brother Cui is so talented. If Yin Jingyi invites you, wouldn't that be just what he wants? Could it be that Brother Cui is interested in joining him and working together for the great cause?"

Hearing this, the young man raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then it turned into a smile, and he joked.

"It's okay. I have my own plan. Although Yin Jingyi is brave, he is also a wise man. He knows that I, Cui Hao, am not an ordinary person. If I can be used by him, it will be the best result."

"If I firmly refuse, he might resort to extreme measures. By then, the Cui family may not be spared."

Cui Hao smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal the young man to be patient.

"I, Cui Hao, have studied the teachings of various schools of thought throughout my life, so how could I not have a plan to deal with this? Yin Jingyi wants my help, so I will go along with it. However, I have my own conditions."

Cui Hao shook his head, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

As they were talking, they heard hurried footsteps outside the Cui family compound, accompanied by the clanging sound of armor rubbing against each other, obviously Yin Jingyi's men had arrived.

Cui Hao sighed softly and said, "Here it comes."

After saying this, he slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and had a calm look on his face.

"Brother Cui, I'm afraid your departure will cause another wave of disturbance in this chaotic world. I will wait for good news here. I wish Brother Cui all the best."

Seeing this, the young man also stood up and said with a smile.

"Don't worry. I, Cui Hao, am not someone who can be manipulated easily. Even though Yin Jingyi is brave, he may not be able to do anything to me."

"Just sit here and see how I respond."

Cui Hao laughed, patted the young man on the shoulder and said in a relaxed manner.

After saying this, Cui Hao turned around and walked out of the garden, heading towards the front gate of the compound.

Yin Jingyi was seen holding a bloody sword, followed by a group of heavily armored soldiers with tiger heads, standing in front of the door in a menacing manner.

"Cui Hao, Cui Boyuan, I have heard that you are very capable and have the ability to help the world. I have come here today to invite you and hope that you can lend me a helping hand."

When Yin Jingyi saw Cui Hao coming out, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but then it turned into coldness and he said in a deep voice.

"General Yin is here, how dare I not welcome him? But I am just a scholar, I can't even tie a chicken, I don't know why the general thinks I can help him achieve his great cause?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Hao slowly stood up, brushed his sleeves, and smiled, as if he had already expected this moment to come.

"Mr. Cui is extremely intelligent and wise, and everyone in Qiandu knows this. Although I, Yin Jingyi, am not very talented, I know how to use people well." "If you are willing to help me, it will be a great honor for me. If not, the entire Cui family may not be able to sleep peacefully now."

Yin Jingyi looked at Cui Hao in front of him who showed no fear at all, chuckled, tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, and said in a cold voice.

"General, your words are too serious. How dare Cui disobey you?"

"It's just that Cui has an unreasonable request. I hope the general can understand."

There was no smile on Cui Hao's face, he remained calm and said with a light smile.

"Why?"

Yin Jingyi frowned slightly, obviously unhappy with Cui Hao's bargaining, but considering Cui Hao's talent, he still asked patiently.

"Cui has always been accustomed to acting in secret and is unwilling to show up in public."

"If the general does not abandon me, I am willing to give you advice in secret. I only hope that you can save the lives of the Cui family."

Cui Hao saw that Yin Jingyi was a little unhappy, but still patient, and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Yin Jingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. He had always heard that Cui Hao was extremely intelligent and wise. If he could get help from him in this uprising, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger, and would increase the chances of victory for himself and others.

However, he also knew that a wise man like Cui Hao was not an easy one to deal with. If he was forced too much, something unexpected might happen. He would be secretly tricked and die without knowing how.

"Okay, then we'll follow your words. You just need to give Jing Yi advice in secret, and we will never reveal your true identity."

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Yin Jingyi looked at Cui Hao deeply. He knew that Cui Hao was ready to jump out of the car at any time, but he nodded in the end.

As long as Cui Hao didn't cheat him, slack off, or work without putting in any effort during the period when he started the rebellion.

Once he succeeds, he won't have to worry about whether Cui Hao will return to his country. As for if he fails, it won't matter whether Cui Hao will return to his country or not.

He was not so crazy as to force everyone around him to die with him if he failed.

"General Yin, rest assured. How can I, Cui Hao, be a treacherous person? As long as you can protect the Cui family, I will do my best to plan great things for you."

Cui Hao smiled calmly and said softly.

"General Yin, although the troops under your command and the soldiers of the major families are brave and good at fighting, and have great ambitions, this uprising is still a bit hasty, and there are problems that must be noticed."

Cui Hao then paced slowly and looked at Yin Jingyi, each word he spoke was precious and hit the nail on the head.

When Yin Jingyi heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was dissatisfied with Cui Hao's "interfering" right from the start.

"Oh? Why do you say that, sir? Our Yin Family Army is united, well-equipped, and has the secret support of many aristocratic families. How can we say that we are acting in a hurry?"

Yin Jingyi suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in a deep voice, trying to find a flaw in Cui Hao's words.

"General Yin, speed is of the essence in war, but one must also plan carefully before taking action. Now the general has no reason to be defeated, which is a disadvantage."

"Furthermore, although uniting with the aristocratic families can increase strength, people's hearts are different and it is difficult to unite. This is the second disadvantage."

"What's more, although the dynasty is in chaos, its foundation is still there. The emperor's personal army is extremely powerful. Once the dynasty reacts, it is unknown whether the general can resist their counterattack. This is the third disadvantage."

Cui Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head gently, feeling somewhat helpless about Yin Jingyi's naive ideas.
