After the plan to reduce the power of the princes was finalized, they took a break to have some tea and fruit, and then Zhizhong mentioned the news that the third prince had returned to the court.

Xiao Jingchuan followed the master's advice, analyzed the pros and cons, and wanted to silence the witness.

However, Qiu Zhizhong protested against this.

"no!"

"Old Xiao, it's not as simple as you think."

"The Third Prince is a person of great importance to the overall situation. If he is killed on the way, it will definitely alert the enemy."

"I want to avoid offending others, and more importantly, to implicate you."

"The little emperor will definitely be very suspicious and will no longer trust me."

Zhizhong looked at the overall situation, compared the pros and cons, and refuted this view.

After hearing this, Xiao Lang had no choice but to give up the idea for the time being.

"Yeah, okay."

"Then we can only take one step at a time and see what happens."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, the three men were all at a loss as to what to do, so they stopped talking about it.

"Ugh"

"Also, Lao Xiao, the second level of news."

"It was also sent back after I went on a trip to the southwest of the country."

"This is the latest situation in Sanpojie and Zhenbao."

"Where is Sanpo Jiulong Town? It turns out that Qi Dayong and Jin Xuan who stayed behind are here to recruit and organize troops."

"Now, the team has already reached 2,000 people."

"Moreover, in recent months, the bandits and mountain troubles in the surrounding areas have almost been wiped out."

"In the short term, the problem is not that big."

"But the current situation is difficult after all. I don't think we can use these horses for the time being."

"All we can do is continue to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to strike, so as to prepare for the future."

"It's just that I'm afraid of the recent transfer of the Third Prince, Jin Xuan and Xu Zhi."

"Hey, it's human nature. You and I should also be considerate and understanding."

"Now that the prince has set out, I'm afraid these two won't just sit there and wait to die."

"I can't stay here, I have to follow you back."

"There is only Qi Dayong left in Sanpo."

"As time goes by, there will be no checks and balances on this person."

"Tell me, will it really be possible to raise a mountain king?"

"Haha, I'm just worried that my successors will have trouble following my orders and recovering the area."

"You say." Zhizhongbiao was worried and was thinking about what happened in Sanpo area before.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang also sighed and slapped his thigh.

"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king!"

"You think Qi Dayong has been in control of the local area for too long and it's hard to control him, right?!"

Xiao Yida also asked himself.

"Hey, the world is unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable, and everything is hard to predict."

"And there was a small incident in between, huh."

"Haha, recently several of my informants in Kowloon Town died inexplicably." Zhizhong said with a wry smile.

"The local management representative who led the local organization was not spared."

"The letter came back to me saying that there was a fire in the city."

"Huh, I always feel like something is fishy."

"Old Xiao, we must be on guard against this."

"Although it is not a big problem in the overall situation, we still need to pay attention to it."

“You never know when it might come in handy.”

"So, if there is any other opportunity in the future, you might as well give it some thought."

"It's also a backup plan."

Qiu Zhizhong is a meticulous person, and every emotion he controls is carefully considered.

After hearing this, Xiao also took it seriously.

"Yes, what Feiyu said is true."

"However, in the short term, it is still beyond our reach."

"Alas, we'll have to put this matter off for the time being."

"Eh?"

"Yes, you just mentioned the situation of Zhenbao Land?"

"Is there anything wrong with Chuanwu?" Xiao asked anxiously. "Uh, Chuanwu, everything is fine."

"According to Xianzi's report, Chuanwu and Xu Baoyi have a good understanding of each other."

"We have already gathered more than 3,000 soldiers, but their combat effectiveness is uneven and they still need to be trained."

"Let's talk about the money for the soldiers."

"Alas, it's not easy either."

"I heard that it's been a tough autumn recently, so Xu Baoyi sold all his belongings to pay for military expenses."

"It's hard to talk about, but it's also really sad." Zhizhong replied, feeling disappointed.

"Yeah, that's right." Xiao also sighed.

"You don't have to tell me. Actually, not long ago, Chuanwu sent me a message."

"Oh, yes, it was delivered by your subordinates in the same way." Xiao Chacha added.

"Yes, yes, a secret letter. What exactly is it? At that time, you were tripped up by the court affairs, so I didn't have time to ask you later."

"Did you say anything?" Zhizhong asked.

"Hey, nothing actually."

"Generally speaking, it's the same thing. I can't wait to go home."

"Since Wu Xinjian has repeatedly requested to mobilize the troops, I hope you can return to the team as soon as possible."

"The intention is to protect the area, and temporarily entrust Xu Baoyi with the remaining troops to take full charge."

"Alas, between the lines, there is also a frown on the issue of military pay."

"Since he wants to come back, and it involves the issue of insufficient military pay, I can't decide how to answer him at the moment." Xiao Daojin said.

"Well, if that's the case, the letter should have arrived in the middle or late last month."

There is something else behind Zhizhong's words, and he is scheming and calculating. He is wondering why Chuanwu has such a motive.

"Haha, you Feiyu, you have planned everything."

"That's right, don't worry about it."

"I have been thinking about this since I received the letter."

"I think he must have been tempted to do something when he heard that I was going to send troops to Henan."

"Ugh"

"The world is unpredictable, and plans cannot keep up with changes."

"Right now, the Zhenbao area is indeed not of much use in the short term, and we can only take care of it with all our strength."

"It's better to let Chuanwu down and waste Xu Baoyi's wealth."

"Why not just call him back first."

"In this way, Xu Baoyi's difficulties will be solved, and the army can also add a powerful general."

"My intention is to drive me out of Beijing this time and go to Henan and Anhui in the north, and then send a letter to order me to return to the camp."

"After all, it's not far from Henan, so it's just the right time."

It was obvious that Xiao Jingchuan had already made a plan in mind regarding the traditional martial arts.

Upon hearing the situation, Zhizhong nodded and seconded the motion.

"Well, that's fine."

"As for military matters, you can make your own decisions. If you think it's okay, then let's do it."

"Um, do you want me to send you a notice first?"

"Tell Chuanwu to reorganize their troops and be prepared." The Zhizhong Gang responded.

"Oh, no problem."

"There's no rush for this."

"Let's wait until the Henan incident is resolved, and then we can investigate it later."

After Xiao finished speaking, the three men raised their cups and drank the remaining tea together.

After chatting a little more about casual matters.

At about half past three in the afternoon, Xiao Jingchuan and Zhi Zhongcai said goodbye to Yao Zuyin and left Linggu Temple on horseback.

After another quarter of an hour, Xiao Jingchuan returned home.

At this moment, Xiao'e had gotten up early, and was settling some small account with Hongyu in the back hall.

However, Zhu Yu'e was not smart, and when she was at home, she was always surpassed by Yuzhen.

Tuotuo is a lazy person, a girl who doesn't even know how to help when the oil bottle falls over.

Now, once you get married, if you are sick and need help, it is inevitable that you will appear a little flustered.

In fact, Xiao Jingchuan had already considered this situation.

The reason why he had insisted on spending time and effort to bring Xue Zhongan to the mansion to take charge was because he wanted to help Xiao'e exercise her power after marriage.

In order to ensure peace at home, Xiao has done his best.
