So, Anton took out a piece of paper from the desk and analyzed the situation with the empress while drawing.

"Let's first analyze the reasons why Li Xingyun came out of seclusion. There are only four of us: me, Master, Junior Sister, and Ji Ruxue.

But what is certain now is that Yuan Tiangang will not do anything to me and Master, and my Junior Sister and Ji Ruxue are inseparable from him, so it is impossible for both sides.

The only way to break through is to expand the circle of people around you.”

The empress found the relationship diagram he drew a little funny, but she understood it immediately and asked without hesitation: "Zhang Zifan?"

"Not bad!" Anton clapped his hands and continued painting.

“You and Tong’er are the only people around me. Yuan Tiangang is concerned about me, so he won’t and dare not attack you.

My master is now 'dead' and has no one around him.

The only people around Ji Ruxue are you and Xingyun, so the three of us can be ruled out.

Then only Junior Sister is left, and the person next to Junior Sister is Zhang Zifan. But how will he attack Zhang Zifan?"

"I remember that when I went to the clinic with my sister three months ago, Zhang Zifan was not there."

Li Zhaozhao thought of the past and reminded him.

This is a habit of getting along between two people that is unique to them. Sometimes they may come up with something that they didn't think of suddenly, and the other person will make up for it in time.

Of course, sometimes it's just a simple interruption.

"Really?"

Anton-jun and the two girls did not go to Li Xingyun's place very often. They basically went there once every one or half a month and stayed for a few days each time.

The three of them took turns to go there, after all, Fengxiang had to be left unattended.

Because Li Zhaozhao was not familiar with his junior fellow students, he sometimes went with Anton Jun and sometimes with Miao Luantong.

But Anton Jun didn't know that because Zhang Zifan was present during the three times he went there, it could be said that they just happened to be staggered.

"Where did he go?"

Li Zhaozhao thought for a moment, searching for the memory of this little episode in his mind, and then said uncertainly:

"It seems that it is because Zhang Zifan sometimes has to go back to Taiyuan to report his safety to Li Siyuan, and bring some medicinal materials from Tongwen Hall back to Li Xingyun's clinic."

"That's right."

When Anton heard this, he put the paper away. He felt that he had already guessed what was going on.

“If I’m not mistaken, Yuan Tiangang should do something on the way Zhang Zifan returns to the clinic or goes to Tongwen Hall.

The easiest and most effective method is to spread a message to Liang Jun and let Zhu Youzhen capture Zhang Zifan. In that case, Junior Sister will definitely rescue him, and in that case..."

"Li Xingyun will naturally follow Lu Linxuan out of the mountain." Li Zhaozhao interrupted.

"My wife is so smart!" Anton Jun pinched her little face, then continued his journey of reviewing memorials.

Seeing this, Li Zhaozhao stopped bothering him and picked up the lunch box and went out.

Xushi

Li Zhaozhao waited at home for a long time, but Anton Jun didn't show up. You know, he was always punctual in the past, so she decisively went to Prince Qi's mansion.

Sure enough, when I arrived, I saw Anton-kun standing in front of a huge sand table with a map of Kyushu placed vertically next to him.

He also scribbled some things on the map, and his eyes kept wandering from side to side. No one knew what he was thinking.

He didn't even notice the empress had arrived. He had never been like this before.

"Old man!" Li Zhaozhao called softly and came to him. "What's wrong?"

When Anton Jun saw her coming here, he smiled habitually: "Wife, why are you here?"

"Why don't you check the time? It's already the hour of the dog. What's that word called?"

Li Zhaozhao showed dissatisfaction on his face, thought for a moment and said: "Oh, yes, overtime. You once told me not to work overtime, but look at yourself!"

Anton took her hand, held her in his arms, and said softly, "Because this is what I should do."

Li Zhaozhao leaned on his strong chest and said in a faint voice, "But this is what I should do."

Anton Jun didn't stay on this topic for long: "Wife, Jin and Liang have been fighting for a long time, and now the news about Xingyun has been released again by Yuan Tiangang.

So they will only fight more fiercely, and next we will have to prepare to lobby the princes."

"Is it time already?"

Although Li Zhaozhao was a little surprised, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was something that was expected.

When Zhu Youzhen and Li Cunxu first led their armies to fight, Lord An Dong summoned Hou Qing and Ying Gou to Qi State.

When she learned the identity of their corpse ancestor, she had this vague guess.

“Well, with Yuan Tiangang’s instigation, Li Xingyun’s location has been exposed.

Liang Guoding will do his best to catch him, because they will never allow the existence of Li Tang bloodline.

The State of Jin claims to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty and still uses the Tang Dynasty era name. Therefore, they will never let go of Li Xingyun, either morally or because of the Longquan treasure that Li Xingyun is involved in.

As long as Li Xingyun appears on either side, a complete war will be triggered, and this time it will be different from the past. It is not a small fight like in the past, but a real war between the two countries.

Now the strength of Jin and Liang is evenly matched, and if they fight, both will suffer."

In fact, if we go back a few years, Liang State was the strongest among the princes.

However, because the former Liang Emperor Zhu Wen ignored state affairs and persecuted loyal officials, the Liang Palace was filled with an atmosphere of debauchery and debauchery.

Later, during the Jiaolan Palace Rebellion, Liang State changed two emperors in succession. Some court ministers were killed by Zhu Wen, and some were killed by Zhu Yougui. The imperial palace was emptied by the bad guys and Qi State.

It can be said that the wealth of Liang State had long been exhausted by themselves. Coupled with the constant conflicts with Jin State in recent years, the already poor Liang State was even worse off.

All the money used now is extorted from the people. The people in Liang are suffering terribly and have long hoped that someone would come to rescue them.

Therefore, Daliang is now in a precarious situation. Externally, the princes are gathering together, and internally, the people are full of anger.

On the other hand, although the State of Jin was robbed once by Lord An Dong, it did not cause any serious damage.

What's more, they occupy the Three Jins, with a unique geographical location. In addition, the King of Jin has worked hard to govern the country in recent years, and the government is in good order and the people are harmonious.

With this comparison, if Liang and Jin were to fight now, it is hard to tell who would win.

"Old man..."

Li Zhaozhao immediately understood what An Dongjun meant. If Liang and Jin were really as he said.

With the current equal strength of the two, both are bound to end up seriously injured.

In this case, other princes would have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it was a common practice to seize a few cities at that time. This included the State of Qi, which meant that the war against the State of Qi was also coming.

But while she was a little excited about the future rise of Qi State, she was also very worried.

Because of her identity, she was destined to not be able to live like ordinary people.

If Anton-kun wants to be with her forever, Qi State must be stabilized, and war is a must.

As long as Qi State is not stable, the world will be unstable, and all their so-called mutual support will be just wishful thinking.

And she also knew that for her sake, Anton-jun would never agree to let her go to war, and would choose to go to the war himself.

He saw what Li Zhaozhao was worried about and comforted her in time:

"Don't worry, I promise you that your own safety will be the most important thing, and I will not interfere too much with your and my brother-in-law's decisions on leading the army to war in the future."

He would not deceive Li Zhaozhao for such a small matter. He didn't know much about war and naturally would not interfere.

But before she could speak, Anton-kun continued to change the subject and said:

"Well, worrying too much will cause wrinkles. I am still young and beautiful now, so don't worry too much. I will take care of everything.

It's just that I won't be around for a while, so you'll have to trouble yourself here in Qi Country."

"Gluck cluck..."

Hearing his words, Li Zhaozhao's body trembled slightly, and she smiled sweetly:

"Old man, you spoil me so much. If I become more and more depraved and become more and more dependent on you, what will I do then?"

"Well... then I will also fall. If we all fall together, there will be no one who falls."

Anton-jun was startled, then grinned.

But Li Zhaozhao was obviously not satisfied with this answer. She used the familiar pinching method again, buried her head in his arms, and pouted, "Slippery, change it!"

Anton buried his head deeply in her snow-white neck, feeling the fragrance of her skin rushing into his nose, "Then... I will never leave you."

"What's the deal?"

"we have a deal!"
