"What's the next step?" Sikong Rui asked, "Chu Xiang has a ready-made product right in front of him, and there are not many soldiers and horses on this island. It is easy to capture him. It just happened to take him to the king city to give credit to the little emperor."
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "There was also Liu Jinde who was exiled together with Chu Xiang. The reason why Chu Xiang was unwilling to be the free prince and dared to take the risk of losing his head to fight for the throne, most of the credit should be attributed to Liu Jinde. It is better to say that he is the mastermind behind the plan and dispatch of troops."
Sikong Rui guessed: "Are you going to wait for Liu Jinde to come out, and then do it all at once?"
Duan Baiyue said: "This Xingzhou has only been newly built for two or three years. I think the bulk of it is still elsewhere, and I don't know how many people there are, but since it is necessary to find another island to support troops, I am afraid that it has already become a scale, not even Liu Jinde alone. With Chu Xiang, it is more likely to join forces with an island country in the South China Sea to grow rapidly in a short period of time. Therefore, killing Chu Xiang alone at this time is probably useless. Safe."
Si Kongrui frowned: "Although there are many island countries in Nanyang, there are few large-scale ones. Besides, in recent years, everyone has been doing business with the Chu country. It's too late to make money. , is definitely not going to have such thoughts."
"But you also said that the South Ocean is big." Duan Baiyue said, "The whirlpool of shock waves and the vast white fog, not to mention hiding tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of people, it is not impossible."
Sikong Rui said, "Then what do you mean?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Let's take a general look at the island first, and then evacuate temporarily. Since Chu Xiang has chosen Xingzhou as a new site, he will not be too far from his old nest. You and I are nearby in the name of businessmen. A few island countries go to inquire about the news first, and then decide what to do next."
Sikong Rui sighed: "Have pity on my lady who is alone in the empty boudoir, like a flower like jade, full of affection, and eagerly waiting for her husband to return, I don't know how long it will take to see her handsome, handsome, unrestrained, and affectionate. Master."
Duan Yao silently blocked her ears, four words and four words, she was dizzy when she heard too much.
Duan Baiyue patted his shoulder: "It's good."
Sikong Rui hurriedly asked, "What's the benefit?"
Duan Baiyue replied: "After this trip, I will return all those letters to you."
Si Kongrui sighed: "It's a really big benefit."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "I think so too."
Si Kongrui: "..."
I knew for a long time that I shouldn't compare my skin with him.
It's thick and wears a mask.
Who in the world can be the enemy.
In the southwest palace, Nan Moye was sitting on a stone bench, grinning in pain.
Aunt Jin held the grate and combed his hair with a quick, precise hand, and in a blink of an eye, she tied the messy white hair neatly. When the prince and the little prince were away, Master Nan became more and more unattended. New clothes would wear out in two days, and his hair was messier than a bird's nest. Yesterday, he went to the street to squat in the sun and was treated as a beggar by a group of foreigners. A pile of copper coins fell in front of him in a moment, and now the men, women and children in the city are still making fun of it, which is shameful.
Nan Moxie was dejected, feeling that he had made money yesterday, and even if he made money, his hair would be combed.
"Master Nan, Aunt Jin." A servant hurried in, "There are officials from the family."
"A person from the official family? Take it to the Council Hall, and pass it on to Lord Wang." Aunt Jin said.
"No, the guests are looking for Master Nan by name." The servant said, "Looking at the grandeur, Master Wei personally accompanied him."
"Mr. Wei Fang Wei?" Nan Moye wondered, that was the largest official sent by the imperial court to the southwest. Could it be that it was an imperial envoy
"No, Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, this is the backyard, you can't enter." Several family members hurriedly stopped, "Master Nan's residence, the courtyard is full of poisonous insects." What if you were bitten.
Wei Fang looked embarrassed, it's useless for you to stop me, didn't you see that the ancestors in front were going to break in
"It's in such a hurry, don't let it happen." Aunt Jin heard the movement outside, and she was a little unsure. She didn't even have time to let Nan Moxie change her clothes. Push away.
Looking at the person standing at the door, Nan Moxie was stunned, thinking that he might be dazzled, or maybe he was hallucinated by pulling on his scalp too much.
Wei Fang said on the side: "Master Nan, the emperor comes to this southwest mansion day and night, and has important business to discuss."
It was quiet all around.
Aunt Jin stepped back with a polite salute, Chu Yuan raised his hand slightly, and Wei Fang also bowed and left.
Nan Moye rubbed his hands and laughed dryly.
Chu Yuan asked, "He's not here, is he?"
Nan Moye said from the bottom of his heart, "I'm really not here this time."
"Where did you go to Nanyang?" Chu Yuan asked.
Nan Moxie swallowed.
Chu Yuan continued: "Tianchensha was not found at all, why did you lie to me?"
Nan Moxie secretly complained in his heart, how could he suddenly know everything.
Seeing that he was silent, Chu Yuan had a clue in his heart. Xuan Tian wrote a letter before his death, informing himself that Duan Baiyue had sent Duan Yao to find him in private, and colluded to say that Tian Chensha was not difficult to find. But the fetish of ancient legends, how could it not be difficult to find. Taking a step back, even if he really found it, the few words and phrases handed down say that Tianchensha can relieve hundreds of poisons and continue the meridians after taking it.
Not to mention the white-browed fairy—I have asked the Penglai Xingdou real person in the East China Sea, the ghost doctor who dyed frost in the South China Sea, and many elderly people living along the coast. Weng, fairy with white beard, fairy with white sleeves, fairy with white hair, just enough to make a table for four.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuan was almost furious: "Where are the others!"
Nan Moxie took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the royal city."
"I naturally want to return to the king's city, but I have to pay him back first." Chu Yuan said: "If the seniors refuse to tell, the Beihai Chu army has been dispatched and can go out to battle at any time."
Nan Moxie fished in troubled waters and followed suit: "What the emperor said is very true, but I don't know where the scoundrel is now, why don't you—"
"Senior, you don't need to say more." Chu Yuan interrupted him, his voice calm and calm, "I really don't know, it's okay. I, the Chu Navy, have never practiced soldiers before, and this time it happened to be an island country after an island country. Those who do not know where they are will be regarded as accomplices and rebels of the Southwest Mansion, and we will see where we can finally expand the family business handed down from our ancestors."
Nan Moye was stunned.
"Farewell." Chu Yuan rolled his sleeves and walked out.
Nan Moxie burst into tears: "White Elephant Country, White Elephant Country!"
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth raised, "Thank you, senior."
Nan Moye stomped his foot: "I'll go with the emperor!"
Chu Yuan still smiled: "Okay."
Nan Moxie wanted to learn how to cry like his little apprentice.
If I had known this earlier, I should have buried myself in the grave yesterday, so as to hide away.
On the official road, a group of carriages moved forward briskly. Chu Yuan leaned against the window, looking at the mountains outside with fascination.
Sixi said, "Your Majesty, take a break."
Chu Yuan returned to his senses: "Guess what the Master Taifu thinks at this moment?"
What else can you think. Eunuch Sixi smiled all over, but said in his heart that it is estimated that when the emperor returns this time, the grand master will have to sacrifice the family law left by the previous emperor.
In Wangcheng, Liu Dajiong made a special trip out of the palace to buy a large bag of fire, and carried it to Tao Rende's mansion.
"Master Liu." The housekeeper seemed to have seen the savior, "You are here."
"Old Tao is mad?" Liu Dajiong asked with concern.
The housekeeper was taken aback and waved his hand quickly: "Sir, don't be kidding." If my family knew about it, I would have to lie down for two more days.
Liu Dajiong carried the fire, pushed aside the bedroom and walked straight in.
Tao Rende was sighing with a handkerchief on his head.
Liu Dajiong said, "Looking at your posture, it looks like a woman slipping tires in a medical book."
Tao Rende sat up and asked, "Is the emperor back?"
"What are you doing when the emperor comes back?" Liu Dajiong said, "It should still be in the south."
Tao Rende fell back again.
Liu Dajiong said, "Can you eat it with fire?"
Tao Rende scolded: "What time is it, you still want to eat fire."
"When? When the fire is just out of the oven, you have to eat it while it's hot." Liu Dajiong opened the paper bag, "You are not the only one in this court, the other adults are fine, only you toss yourself to the point of being sick, why bother. "
"Without warning, he left the things in the DPRK and China to attack the South China Sea. This—" Tao Rende was half-speaking, and he was gasping for breath again.
"Our emperor has not just ascended the throne. Can't we have some ambitions in this four seas and nine states?" Liu Dajiong tsk tsk.
Tao Rende said: "Forget the ambition, but now even the southwest has not been recovered, and the south of the Mangqi River is still named Duan. The emperor not only ignored it, but took the initiative to transfer the southwest army to the Beihai, and open up all the hinterland north of the Mangqi River. At that time, if we really start a war with Nanyang, there is no guarantee that the Southwest Prefecture will not take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and then Dachu will be the enemy, and if this territory loses another inch, you and I will become sinners through the ages."
"You can think of it, but the emperor can't think of it?" Liu Dajiong said, "The emperor can't think of it, General Shen should always think about it, and the Ninth Prince should always think about it. Since they don't care, who can be sure that the emperor's trip will definitely start a war?"
Tao Rende frowned.
"You still listen to my advice, eat a fire to calm down." Liu Dajiong crossed his legs on the bed and said slowly, "Maybe the emperor is just going to the mountains and water to relax, or to get news, why panic?"
Tao Rende took a bite of the fire with a solemn expression.
"That's right." Liu Dajiong said, "The first emperor entrusted the emperor to you when he was dying. If you care about it, you will be messed up. Sometimes it's not wrong to listen to me. One day the Great Chu will declare war on Nanyang, and it will not be now, our emperor is shrewd. When the great Chu's power falls into his hands, you and I may have a few headaches, but it is a blessing for the people."
Tao Rende was silent for a long time, raised his eyelids, and said, "Old fox."
Liu Dajiong chuckled: "I used to say this to you, but this time I will accept it. Don't lie in bed anymore, go out to a restaurant and have a glass of wine, what to do tomorrow, just relax, Just wait for the emperor to come back."
