Yuan Ming's heart finally settled down: "Yes, Your Highness."

Yuan Ming has already begun planning how to quickly gain the trust and support of the people.

Mu Jinan looked at Jinghong and Peng Tuojiang who were sitting at the end. She raised her cup and said, "Thanks to the help of Jinghong and Tuojiang, I can lead the Youzhou army. Let me toast to you."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness." Peng Tuojiang laughed and slapped his thigh. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Jing Hong stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Mu Jinan deliberately added more water to the wine she drank so that she could smell the alcohol. She couldn't drink much, but she always had to be sincere when entertaining guests.

Peng Tuojiang had dark skin, a pair of eyes with a lot of white, and a mustache, looking like a heroic and powerful man. After drinking, he wiped his beard:

"Xie Xunyu, the son of Prince Xiang, is in Sheng'an. He wants to seize the position of governor just for Xie Xunyu."

Peng Tuojiang is a carefree person. Once he understands the situation, he speaks out directly.

Not long after Jing Hong joined the Youzhou Army, Chen Xuan rebelled, followed by Fan Zheng. Not long after Lu Shengji took over the Youzhou Army, Mu Jinan came.

He was originally a young soldier guarding the city gate. When he received a letter from his wife saying that her child was lost, he was heartbroken for a long time.

Jing Hong didn't know how Yelu Chang brought Jing Gui'an through Youzhou City.

Compared with the heroic Peng Tuojiang, he is a reserved and honest person. Jing Hong said, "Your Highness, Chen Xuan and Zhou Shenmao of Yanzhou have been visiting each other frequently, but Zhou Shenmao refused to go to Youzhou. I heard that Chen Hengwang is in Yanzhou. This person is cunning and insidious. He must not be allowed to return to Sheng'an."

Mu Jinan knew Chen Hengwang. If he hadn't told them about the hidden scar on Chen Xuan's body, it would have taken some effort for them to capture Chen Xuan in front of Emperor Ming.

Chen Hengwang, the son of a traitor, could become the tacitly approved military advisor of Emperor Hui. It shows how shrewd he is. Perhaps Chen Hengwang also wanted to kill her.

Mu Jinan threw the question to everyone: "The governors of Yan and Zhuo are unwilling to form an alliance with me. King Xiang will take office soon. Zhou Sili and Chen Hengwang instigated the governors of the two states to become my enemy. What should I do?"

Peng Tuojiang didn't even think about it, his face was filled with hatred and decisiveness: "Zhou Sili robbed merchants in Sheng'an, sucked their blood and did all kinds of evil. He just relied on Empress Zhang. The Empress is dead, so there is nothing to be afraid of. If we keep him, there will be endless troubles."

"If Your Highness gets rid of this traitor, the merchants and people of Sheng'an will be grateful to Your Highness, and when Your Highness returns to Sheng'an in the future, there may be fewer obstacles."

Peng Tuojiang was far away in Youzhou. His father wrote him a letter. First, Emperor Ming allowed Cheng Yu's son to rob like a bandit, and then Zhou Sili took people to steal all the wine. He was a merchant for Sheng'an and also to avenge his father!

Everyone looked at Peng Tuojiang in astonishment. He was not particular about details but his moves were fierce and accurate. This move would indeed be beneficial for Mu Jinan's return to Sheng'an.

Mu Jinan smiled with satisfaction. When she attacked Youzhou, she had told Peng Tuojiang that she would give him the opportunity to expand the territory. Now the situation was changing, whether he could expand the territory was another matter. She should find something for Peng Tuojiang to do first.

Otherwise he would think that she was not trustworthy. If she wanted to promote someone, she could not be partial. She had to convince the person with merit first, so that others would have the motivation to compete.

Mu Jinan asked him, "Zhou Sili is in Zhuozhou, how can I kill him?"

Peng Tuojiang held the wine jar with one finger and filled a bowl with wine. He stood up and said solemnly, "I have been to Zhuozhou and know the terrain. Your Highness, give me a hundred elite soldiers and I will bring back Zhou Sili's head!"

As he said this, he finished a bowl of wine and slammed the bowl heavily. The sound of "pa" was heard a hundred feet away: "If you lose, I will kill myself. Your Highness does not need to be threatened by Sheng Yuanjing!"

At this moment, Peng Tuojiang looked like a passionate hero, his mustache soaked in spicy liquor. He seemed to have drunkenly rushed into the battlefield, and his bravery forced the enemy to retreat.

Mu Jinan knew that Sheng Yuanjing was on guard against her and would definitely strengthen the defense of Zhuozhou. Too many elite soldiers would attract attention and be counterproductive.

Mu Jinan promised Peng Tuojiang: "Okay, I wish Tuojiang a successful start. I will wait for your good news."

Peng Tuojiang and Yuan Ming did not waste any time and left after receiving the military order.

Mu Jinan continued the previous topic: "Chen Hengwang is deep, cunning and treacherous. He is the strongest enemy. I wonder if you have any good strategies?"

Yuan Qinghe just lowered his head to eat. These words were clearly meant to provoke him, but right here, if he didn't provoke him, it would mean that Mu Jinan didn't know how to lead, and those who didn't want to be provoked had ulterior motives.

Everyone saw that Yuan Ming was very knowledgeable and Peng Tuojiang was brave and straightforward. A person who was under guard and a new recruit were trusted by Mu Jinan. The broken porcelain pieces that fell on the ground cut their faces and pierced their hearts that were striving to get the best.

A ship has limited capacity, and those who board first have more choices and greater opportunities.

Fan Zhaoyang enjoyed prestige in the Youzhou army, but the incident of him killing Fan Zheng had become a hot topic, and he urgently needed military merit to overshadow this matter.

Fan Zhaoyang did not drink. He looked up at Mu Jinan who was sitting in the main seat and said, "Your Highness, I have had dealings with Chen Hengwang. I will give you Chen Hengwang's head. I need two hundred elite soldiers!"

Ah Linchu remembered that Mu Jinan said there was a golden soft knife in the book, so she deliberately said, "General Fan, you are old friends, you won't leave without coming back, right? You won't become a spy when you come back?"

Fan Zhaoyang knew that this matter could not be hidden from Mu Jinan. They used to be in Youzhou together, but he and Chen Hengwang had different ideas. The two were just interacting with each other, not friends. He didn't have time to speak.

"General Fan, I'll leave Chen Hengwang to you." Mu Jin'an had a kind face and was very open-minded and generous. He looked at A Linchu unhappily, "A Linchu, trust people when you employ them. I trust General Fan."

A Linchu concealed her clever side and apologized gloomily: "General Fan, I made a mistake, please don't blame me."

Yuan Qinghe listened to the two people playing the good cop and the bad cop. He took a sip of sake. There was sweet comfort in the ruthless calculation. It was a long aftertaste and tempted people to drink more. It was good wine!

Fan Zhaoyang's face had obviously turned red just now. These words were a warning to him. With so many people here, if he rebelled again, he would be labeled a slave of three families.

Fan Zhaoyang smiled when he heard Mu Jinan's firm and trusting voice: "Yes, Your Highness, A Linchu is young, and I will not bother with her."

Alinchu was unhappy to hear this. Mu Jinan was the youngest, so weren't they still sitting below and receiving military orders from Mu Jinan?

Alinchu felt that it was time to stop now. Singing in unison would not appear so utilitarian, so she held back her anger.

Mu Jinan glanced at A Linchu. It seemed that she had made progress from listening to Yuan Qinghe's lessons recently. She not only knew how to pass the knife fiercely, but also learned to control her temper.

Fan Zhaoyang received the military order and left. The remaining people felt that the roasted mutton with pepper was tasteless.

Now there are only three people left: Prince Xiang, Zhou Shenmao, and Sheng Yuanjing.

These three people are court officials and cannot be executed without proper reasons. If they are not careful, it will be a reason for Emperor Hui to punish them. Xue Xiang's aunt Xue Shanting and cousin Wang Junyue are still in Sheng'an.

Gu Wenxuan's mother Xie Luoning is also in Sheng'an, he can't just ignore her.
