The arrival of the 30,000 Dongjiang troops undoubtedly brought earth-shaking waves to the Qiongzhou Mansion, which had just been stable for less than two months. Especially Chen Ding, when he learned that the Dongjiang Army was coming again, at first he thought that he was coming to get food again.

can wait until the messenger sent by Chengzuo appears in front of Chen Ding and hands over Chengzuo's letter. After Chen Ding saw it, he almost fainted to death.

The envoy of the Dongjiang army did not stay long, and after delivering the letter, he dropped a sentence: "The general said, only give the lord one day, and at this time tomorrow, if the lord has not replied to our general, then the Dongjiang army will attack directly." ”

Watching the envoy leave blankly, Chen Ding's whole person was already spinning, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, the previous master was standing behind him, and he saw the prefect's dejected appearance. A trace of worry flashed in the master's eyes, he was thinking about what choice he should make?

The strength of the Dongjiang Army is obvious to all. The Chen clan is not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at all, which means that Chen Ding's glory will no longer exist in the future.

There were dark clouds in the sky, and it was sunny just now, but it was starting to get dark. Life is like a changeable weather, full of crises and opportunities.

Chen Ding's mood at this moment was the same as this dark cloudy sky, falling into a bottomless abyss.

"Boom ......"

A muffled thunder exploded on the ground, and the deafening thunder immediately woke Chen Ding up. He turned around stupidly, looked at the master with a hesitant face, and asked in a panic, "What should I do?" What should I do now? ”

The fat on the master's face twitched fiercely, and he arched his hand to Chen Dingyu: "My lord, this heavy rainstorm is coming, how about we go back to the house to talk first?" ”

Chen Ding himself has completely lost his opinions, and he nods whatever the master says. Fortunately, those family members in the prefect's mansion were still loyal, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and helped Chen Ding into the mansion.

The downpour fell like money, and the huge raindrops crackled the roof tiles. Chen Ding, who was already panicked, couldn't calm down now, and urged the master to hurry up and find a way to get through the difficulty in front of him.

In the face of Chen Ding's urging of the storm, the master felt a sense of depression for no reason. Originally, he was in a state of decline, and at this time, I saw that he had no responsibility at all. His hesitation is gone, and he used to follow such a master because he was able to give him the identity and status he wanted, wealth and the respect of others.

Now that the Dongjiang army has arrived, Qiongzhou Mansion will return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. He Chen Ding and the people of the Chen clan will no longer be in the limelight. Thinking of this, the master immediately gritted his teeth and said to Chen Dingyu: "My lord, for the sake of today, I can only return to the court unconditionally." Otherwise, once we start to use force, we will not be able to resist the Dongjiang Army for even a moment, and in the end it will definitely backfire. ”

"Nonsense......"

Chen Ding suddenly shouted, interrupting his master's words, and only then did he say: "In this way, will the Dongjiang Army still give me a way to live or the Chen family?" Isn't the family business that has been accumulated over so many years going to be ruined? ”

The master glanced at Chen Ding with contempt, and before he could pay attention, he had already put away his eyes and said lightly: "My lord, the Dongjiang Army is pressing the border, and it is clear that it is going to attack it. My lord, we don't have the strength to resist the Dongjiang Army at all, so we should take the initiative and maybe leave some family foundation. Otherwise......"

Chen Ding's face changed greatly, but he still didn't make a decision like this, it was related to the fate of the entire Chen family. He had to think carefully, and immediately, he persuaded his master to retire, and then ordered someone to quickly gather all the Chen clan members to get together to discuss how to deal with the predicament.

The pouring rain continued, and the warships of the Dongjiang Army at sea were also affected by this. Fortunately, although the rain was heavy, the wind was limited, and in the end, the Dongjiang Army was only affected, but it did not give up the plan to encircle Qiongzhou Mansion.

Under the pouring rain, the hot air balloon could not be lifted off at all, and the huge stayed in the cabin. Looking at the heavy rain outside by the window, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.

Cheng Zuo was leisurely, and he was not worried at all when he came to capture Qiongzhou Mansion this time. Judging from the situation of the last arrival, this Qiongzhou Mansion simply does not have any strength to stop the Dongjiang Army from doing anything here.

"Haoda, what are you doing with a sad face?" Cheng Zuo filled a glass of grape wine, brought it to him, and asked with a smile.

Looking at the grape brew sent to him, the dissatisfaction on Haoda's face was even worse, he rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, don't want these Yiren grape brews." You know I can't get used to it, and you bring it to me. ”

Cheng Zuo is not polite, he doesn't want him to ask for it, after this grape is chilled, it is extremely cool in the throat. Especially in the hot summer, with such a glass of grape wine, it is definitely a treasure to beat the heat.

"Okay, what's there to worry about now, it's just a heavy rain. After the rain stops, the prefect of Qiongzhou should also give us an answer, and it is not up to you to do what you want at that time. Cheng Zuo casually comforted Haoda.

"Big brother, do you really don't know or pretend not to understand. Little brother, I'm in a bad mood, obviously I have nothing to do with this Qiongzhou Mansion! Haoda seemed to be really angry this time, and his tone was much heavier.

When Haoda said this, Cheng Zuo pretended to smile suddenly: "It turns out that my brother is not bored about this!" It seems that my brother is wrong, and he doesn't understand your troubles. ”

Listening to the yin and yang weird Cheng Zuo speak, Hao Da Huo Ran got up, looked at Cheng Zuo with a red face, and said angrily: "Big brother, why don't you let me stay in the army in the southern Fujian Sea?" You know that you don't need me here, but you still force me here, what is the purpose of pulling me here? ”

It turned out that Haoda was supposed to stay with the defenders in the southern Fujian Sea, and he could command the army to guard against the Dongying army at any time. But Cheng Zuo didn't know why, he just refused to agree, and he had to pull the huge one over.

came over, and the most important thing was that from beginning to end, there seemed to be no chance for him to perform. In other words, this trip, he and his subordinates have nothing to do at all.

Seeing that Haoda was really angry, Cheng Zuo didn't dare to avoid it anymore. He pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Pulling you over, in fact, it is not what I meant, big brother, but the general soldier specially ordered in the secret decree. ”

"Why?" Haoda was very stunned, and really couldn't figure out why Mao Wenlong would issue such a secret order.

"Because the general soldier is afraid that you will be impulsive and stay alone in the southern Fujian Sea, once you encounter an attack or provocation by the Dongying army, you will inevitably fight at all costs." Cheng Zuo squinted at the vast and said lightly.
