Hu Zongxian also had an expectant look in his eyes. The two of them did not say anything again and were both imagining about the future. After a while, Hu Zongxian said:

"If I hand over the military power, can you guarantee me a decent retirement?"

"No guarantee!"

"Hmm?" Hu Zongxian frowned.

"Ah..." Luo Xin sighed and said, "I had already negotiated with Gao Gong and would guarantee you a decent retirement. But, look at what you have done recently?

When the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan rebelled, you didn't move. That's all, because you still have excuses and have no food and grass.

but……

What are you doing inciting the Southern Officialdom?

He actually submitted a joint report saying that the south cannot do without you, Hu Zongxian?

Gao Gong and Xu Jie have not said that the Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from them, and His Majesty has not said that the world cannot be separated from him, but you, Hu Zongxian, are capable?

The South cannot live without you?

You just want to show that the entire seven southern provinces are in your hands and use this as a bargaining chip for negotiations with the court.

But, you know?

You are threatening! You are threatening!

Brother, your eyes were blurred by desire. Before, Your Majesty and the Court just thought you were wronged and it was not easy to force you too much. Therefore, they sent people to convince you, hoping that you would take the initiative to hand over the military power. However, after doing this, Your Majesty and the Cabinet immediately believed that you had rebelled. For those who wanted to rebel, all dynasties have been decisive in history.

In this case, I can’t guarantee you to retire in your body.”

Luo Xin glanced at Hu Zongxian and said, "But I will do my best."

Hu Zongxian smiled bitterly on his face, and then he returned to calm and said:

"No, I came from afar. You wouldn't just invite me to have tea, right?"

"Okay, let's have a drink!"

Luo Xin shouted out the door, "Daqing, prepare wine and food."

"I, Master."

The guards of Lu Daqing and Hu Zongxian outside were both relieved. They could not fight if they could drink, right?

Hu Zongxian's guards were really afraid that Luo Xin would arrest Hu Zongxian on the spot, and Lu Daqing was also afraid that Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian would have a conflict. Although Yu Dayou seemed to have agreed to Luo Xin's loyalty to the court, everything was followed by Luo Xin.

but……

Where is this?

This is the territory of Hu Zongxian in the southeast, and this navy is also Hu Zongxian's soldiers. Who knows whether these soldiers will be listened to Luo Xin or Hu Zongxian at that time?

At that time, don’t arrest Hu Zongxian, but Hu Zongxian will arrest Luo Xin.

Now that I hear that Luo Xin is going to hold a banquet, this is at least good news and it is to develop in a better way.

The food and drinks were served quickly. Both sides outside were pricking up their ears and listening to the movements in the room. When they heard the laughter of Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian from inside, they were not only surprised when they felt relieved.

Who convinced whom?

No one knows who convinces whom. No one knows whether Hu Zongxian leaves.

Hu Zongxian left drunk, and Luo Xin personally sent it outside the camp. Even Luo Xin didn't know whether he had convinced Hu Zongxian, but he knew that he had not been persuaded by Hu Zongxian.

Luo Zhi appeared behind Luo Xin, looked at Hu Zongxian's back gradually disappearing into the night, and said softly:

"Not a weapon, why not keep Hu Zongxian?"

"That would be too intense. Even if Hu Zongxian is successfully left behind, there will be turmoil in the south immediately, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

"Then... have you convinced Hu Zongxian?"

"I don't know." Luo Xin shook his head, then sighed again.

"Then what do you think Hu Zongxian will do next?" Luo Zhi's tone was full of worry, and Yu Dayou behind Luo Xin also looked worried.

"Send troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan."

"Really?" Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou's eyes lit up.

Luo Xin sighed again and said, "Hu Zongxian has his ideals. When he came to the south, he wanted to wipe out the Japanese pirates and give the south a bright world. Now that the Japanese pirates have been destroyed, his ideals will not make him watch the south be messed up by the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan. In essence, Hu Zongxian is a good official who serves the country and the people."

Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou couldn't help but sigh.

"Just..." Luo Xin looked up at the night sky, and a cloud blocked the bright moon.

"Just what?" Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou both showed a hint of nervousness on their faces.

"It depends on how much he has wiped out."

Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou were silent. Both of them knew very well at this time that with Hu Zongxian's ability and the 450,000 army, if they wanted to wipe out the mobs such as the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, there would be no problem, and the process would be very fast.

If Hu Zongxian wiped out the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan in a short period of time, it means that Hu Zongxian really gave up his position and was ready to hand over the military power and be discharged from his army and return to the field.

but……

If Hu Zongxian only fought half of the battle and then formed a stalemate with the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, then he would be self-respecting.

"Will he raise Kou to be respectful?"

Luo Zhi is Luo Xin's younger uncle, and at this time there was only one Yu Dayou, so he had no scruples at all and asked directly. Yu Dayou also looked at Luo Xin with a nervous look. Although he had expressed his feelings and obeyed Luo Xin's orders, he did not want to be enemies with Hu Zongxian, nor did he want the two to meet on the battlefield one day.

"I hope he won't be that stupid!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "The so-called self-respect for raising bandits must be important enough, just the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan today?

hehe……

If Hu Zongxian really walked on that path, the court would use thunder to deal with him and the rebels."

"Of course..." Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "Hu Zongxian can also finally embark on the road of rebellion, but it is also the road of self-destruction.

well……

The people are suffering!"

Luo Xin stopped talking and turned around and walked towards the camp. Yu Dayou and Luo Zhi followed silently.

At this time, the sky was the darkness before dawn.

Luo Xin and Luo Zhi sat in the room, the light seemed very dim. Luo Zhi's face seemed very serious, and Luo Xin was also frowning slightly, thinking about the situation in the entire south, as well as what Hu Zongxian would do and how he dealt with it himself.

"Not a tool!"

He heard Luo Zhi's voice in his ear, raised his head, and saw Luo Zhi's face with a hesitation, and said:

"What's the matter?"

Luo Zhi stood up, came to the door, poked his head out, saw Lu Daqing, and said:

"Daqing, don't let people get close."

"yes!"

Luo Zhi shrank for a while, closed the door again, then sat down for a while, lowered his voice and said:

"No, you have made more contributions than Hu Zongxian when you fight south and north. Now that Hu Zongxian is like this, will you follow Hu Zongxian's footsteps in the future?"
