Zhu Yihai was stunned, his godless eyes completely lost focus, and he stood stupidly motionless, not knowing what he was thinking?

Qing Huaiwu was apprehensive, he impulsively said something rebellious in a hurry just now. This will be worried about whether Zhu Yihai will be pulled out and beheaded.

The room was frighteningly quiet, except for the heavy panting of the three people, and each with their own thoughts, and no one spoke.

The silence didn't last long, and Zhu Yihai suddenly sighed: "How is the war over there now?" ”

Qing Huaiwu was stunned for a moment before he bowed his hand and said: "Don't be optimistic, if nothing happens, the Dongjiang army will definitely be able to gain an absolute advantage in the war in less than ten days and a half months." ”

Zhu Yihai was completely silent after hearing this, and in the face of the cruel reality, he realized that he really seemed to have no other choice.

Once the Dongjiang Army defeated the alliance army of the vassal king, it would inevitably be overwhelmed after that, and it was only a matter of time before the entire south fell under Mao Wenlong's control.

"Huaiwu, just now you said that we can't go to war with the Dongjiang Army, so do you have a way to resolve the predicament we are currently facing?" Zhu Yihai has completely calmed down, and in the face of life and death decisions, he can only treat it calmly.

Hearing these words, Qing Huaiwu breathed a sigh of relief, which was enough to prove that Zhu Yihai had realized the crisis. He paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then bowed his hand and said: "Lord Wang, in fact, we should wait and see what happens now, just because we are not involved this time, stand aside and watch the final victory, and then make a decision!" ”

"What do you mean......" Zhu Yihai hesitated, he already understood the meaning of Qing Huaiwu's words.

"Yes, we don't have to get involved at all, we won't decide how to deal with it until they decide what to do. The Dongjiang army is victorious, and we can get closer to them by virtue of our relationship. If those vassal kings win, then we can take advantage of the chaos. Qinghuai Wu Peipei talked about it, and he said it head-to-head.

Zhu Yihai also nodded frequently in agreement after hearing this, and he also decided that it was a wise choice to wait and see what happened.

Under Qing Huaiwu's persuasion, Zhu Yihai finally accepted his proposal. It's just that the soldiers and horses are secretly assembled to respond to changes at any time.

In the imperial city of Xi'an, the sound of frolicking in the imperial garden is heard frequently, and the atmosphere is peaceful, not affected by the war in the south.

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou sat opposite each other in the gazebo, two cups of fragrant tea and a few snacks, looking leisurely.

Hong Chengchou put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The war in Zhejiang is already very clear, and General Chen Jisheng will be able to completely recover Zhejiang in a few days." The war in the other two places was also quite smooth, and the lower officials thought that in another ten days and a half months, the army of the vassal king would inevitably be completely defeated. ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Hong Chengchou, who was smiling all over his face, and said with a smile: "Mr. is so sure, it seems that I don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Hahaha......"

The two of them understood and laughed.

Haoda walked quickly to Mao Wenlong's side at this time, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mao Wenlong. He said: "General soldier, an urgent report from the Guangdong Fucheng." ”

Mao Wenlong took the envelope and opened it directly, and after a while, he said with a smile: "It seems that this Zhu Yihai is not confused." ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly understood, and said: "Didn't he send troops to the war? ”

Mao Wenlong put away the envelope, shook his head and said, "No, he wisely chose to wait and see." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong said again: "Don't care about him for now, anyway, Fujian is now rampant with pirates, and he is too busy to take care of himself, and it is estimated that there is no way to make a stumbling block in secret." ”

Hong Chengchou agreed: "The general soldier is reasonable, after the suppression of those vassal forces, how to eliminate the remnants of the forces is also a major matter that cannot be ignored. ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Don't worry too much about this, when the time comes, the secret guard and Adou will secretly clean it up, there is no problem at all." ”

After pondering for a moment, Hong Chengchou obviously agreed with Mao Wenlong's statement, so he fell silent and said no more.

Mao Wenlong looked at his sister and brother who were frolicking in the garden, and he suddenly felt that the happy days were getting closer and closer to him.

The long-awaited dream was about to come true, and Mao Wenlong was also relieved in his heart.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, who were playing with the children, although the two were chatting on the side, the two were obviously absent-minded, and they both focused on Mao Wenlong in the pavilion from time to time.

"Sister, have you heard about the Ouyang family that Xianggong brought back from Fucheng, Guangdong?" Hong Ziyan asked Chen Lan coldly.

Chen Lan turned his head in amazement, looked at Hong Ziyan, who was full of worries, and shook his head and said, "I don't know, why did my sister suddenly talk about this?" ”

Hong Ziyan looked around carefully, then put her mouth to Chen Lan's ear and whispered, "That Ouyang family is a big family brought by Xianggong from the capital of Guangdong. Recently, his family has been in frequent contact with my father, and my sister has also heard some rumors, some of which are related to the father-in-law. ”

Chen Lan paused when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "When did my sister also care about these things?" ”

Hong Ziyan shook her head and said, "Sister, don't be suspicious, my sister is not interested in things in the court." But there is a woman named Ouyang Xiaoling in this Ouyang family, according to my sister's inquiry, this woman has a grudge with her husband. ”

Chen Lan's body paused slightly, looked at Hong Ziyan seriously, and said, "Sister, the Xianggong is no longer the Xianggong of the past, and it is impossible for him to have only the two of us to serve." ”

This was said very implicitly, but Chen Lan knew that Hong Ziyan would definitely understand.

However, Chen Lan still overestimated Hong Ziyan's understanding, only to see her raised her eyebrows, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you can't condone Xianggong." ”

Chen Lan was very helpless: "How can this be called connivance? ”

Hong Ziyan pouted and argued: "Sister, why aren't you conniving, if the prime minister becomes the emperor, then my sister has nothing to say." And now that the prime minister is not the emperor, then we should be stricter, and we can't let those goblins confuse the prime minister. ”

Chen Lan finally heard Hong Ziyan's voice, and she said in surprise: "You mean to say that this woman named Ouyang Xiaoling is not a good person?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded solemnly: "Sister, sister, I've inquired, this Ouyang family will be the puppet of the Fusang Sect in Fucheng." My sister is thinking now, this Ouyang Xiaoling is close to Xianggong, and she must have ulterior motives. Xianggong must have been deluded, and we can't stand idly by. ”

Chen Lan also chuckled in her heart when she heard the Fusang Sect, she still remembered that she and Hong Ziyan were almost killed by the Fusang Sect before.

"Is what my sister just said true?" Chen Lan asked seriously.
