Zhu Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, Tong Jie's words sounded like a slap in the face, and woke him up all of a sudden.
He broke out in a cold sweat and hissed, "So, that's the way it is."
"..."
"The country of Yue cannot be destroyed!"
"That's right," Tong Jie said hastily, "Even if others want to conquer the country, we still have to help them."
"..." Zhu Xuan thought for a while, and then said angrily: "But what is Xia Houjiu doing now? The better it is, the better. The face of the emperor slaps the face of the king?"
Tong Jie frowned, and said softly, "That's the thing, it's a little strange."
"..."
"We worked well together before. The prince was rewarded by the court, and he gained prestige. Now it's like this—there must be something wrong."
Zhu Xuan looked at him: "What's the problem?"
"Well, I'm afraid we have to check it out."
"It's too late! His army is only 20 miles away from the city. Tomorrow, the emperor will let me lead the army. I'm afraid his army will also be defeated. If the emperor guides this matter at that time—"
Having said that, he fought a cold war himself.
His fourth brother, the fourth brother who grew up together.
He understands his methods, and even more so, how strict he is in running the army. If he were to know that he was collaborating with the enemy country, it might not be enough to cut his body apart!
Tong Jie frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Well, before the battle starts tonight, I'll write a letter first and send someone out of the city to quietly send it to the army camp of the Yue State to find out what's going on. Say more."
When Zhu Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said hastily: "Okay, you should hurry up and make sure you find out, and don't let the emperor's people know."
"Yes, brother-in-law, don't worry."
After Tong Jie finished speaking, he was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, that Si Nanyan—"
"oops!"
Zhu Xuan hated iron for being weak and said: "It's this time, and you still think about that woman."
"But she was almost there. The emperor will give her to me."
When mentioning this matter, Tong Jie couldn't help but gritted his teeth. It would be great if the news came later.
Although the previous design was just to get revenge on this female official who made Zhu Xuan unable to ask for the land of Yanyun, but when he met her and saw her beautiful appearance, he lost half of his soul and only wanted to get her.
"Brother-in-law, this woman—"
"Don't worry!" Zhu Xuan frowned and said, "As long as this matter can be resolved safely, I will definitely ask the emperor to give her to you!"
"That's good."
Tong Jie was so excited that his whole body was hot, he turned and walked out.
Zhu Xuan sighed, then turned his head to look at the burning flames on the table, the haze between his brows deepened.

Under the same gloomy sky, Zhu Feng walked back to his residence.
As soon as he entered the garden, Yingshao, who was guarding the door, immediately came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Jane has returned."
Zhu Feng's face remained unchanged, he just waved his hand and continued walking forward.
As for Nanyan, she could only trot along the way to keep up with his footsteps. When she heard that Jian Ruocheng had returned, her feet suddenly softened, and she almost fell. Ying Shao hurriedly reached out to support her.
"Mistress, be careful."
"Many, thank you."
She managed to stand still, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhu Feng, who was walking in front, said coldly, "Yingshao, do what you should do!"
Ying Shao hurriedly let go of his hand: "Yes."
After speaking, he hurriedly turned and left.
Zhu Feng stepped forward and pushed open the door. The room was brightly lit, and a thin and tall figure stood under the candlelight.
