()"What!"

Nangong Tianwen looked at Nangong Yongwu in shock, his eyes filled with turbidity.

Nangong Yongwu and others lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say anything anymore.

Although Nangong Xingchen is just a junior to Nangong Tianwen, he has always been Nangong Tianwen's most capable assistant.

He is good at fighting, resourceful, and has become a capable veteran. He is said to be a superior and subordinate, but in fact he is an old friend. Otherwise, he would not be able to trust the Nangong family navy camp to be left to him to take care of everything.

Ask.

Nowadays, when a man with white hair sends a man with black hair, how can Nangong Tianwen not feel sad in his heart, and Nangong Tianqi's death is also a big blow to him.

"Who did it!"

Nangong Tianwen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and asked.

"Grandpa Taizu, Liu Xia did it."

"It's him again! It's him again! He keeps ruining the good things of our Nangong family! This man, I must cut him into pieces with my own hands."

Nangong Tianwen drank angrily.

"Master, calm down!"

Immediately, his subordinates began to persuade him one after another.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Nangong Tianwen was very deep in the city. It was extremely rare to be so angry. It was obvious that he was really sad.

"Master, Nangong Xingchen is the commander of the navy. If something goes wrong at this time, Liu Xia may have noticed something. We must act as soon as possible. Otherwise, we may miss the opportunity to fight."

At this moment, a staff member behind Nangong Tianwen whispered.

Hearing this, Nangong Tianwen frowned.

He never thought that this would happen. In order to ensure the safety of Nangong Xingchen, he even asked the second prince to send demon masters to protect him. However, in the end, God's plan was not as good as man's plan.

He knew the situation in the navy.

After Nangong Xingchen died, there were only two people who could take his place.

One is Nangong Xingchen’s subordinate, Deputy Commander of the Navy Zhang Bishan.

The other one is Nangong Yongwu.

Zhang Bishan has rich combat experience and has repeatedly made military exploits against pirates.

However, he was not a member of the Nangong family, so Nangong Tianwen was quite worried about handing over the Navy to him, especially at this critical moment.

Then there is Nangong Yongwu. Although Nangong Yongwu is also a suitable candidate, he is still younger and not so experienced.

This time, I wanted to recall him and take him with me so that you can train him so that he can be assigned important responsibilities in the future, but the current situation made him hesitate.

"Grandpa Taizu, please allow me to lead the troops on an expedition. I want to inherit my grandfather's last wish and capture Longdu. I also want to avenge my grandfather."

At this time, Nangong Yongwu looked sad, his eyes filled with tears, and said sincerely.

"Yong Wu, you go back first and calm down your emotions. Leading troops to go on an expedition is not a child's play. You have to know that this time it is related to the life and death of my Nangong family. Go."

At this time, Nangong Tianwen waved his hand and said.

"Grandpa Taizu......"

Nangong Yongwu spoke again, but saw that Nangong Tianwei had turned around and remained silent.

He knew that it was useless to say anything.

It seems that Nangong Tianwen has not made up his mind yet.

"My grandson resigned."

Immediately, Nangong Yongwu pushed him to the gate, took his people, and turned around to leave.

"Master, Nangong Yongwu is young after all, and it is inevitable that he will be full of energy..."

"Of course, I don't think he is young. After all, he has been with Nangong Xingchen for many years. He also made outstanding achievements in the naval battle a few years ago. Besides, this time he went to sea, he did not fight a naval battle, but attacked Longdu. So, I

I think he is the perfect choice."

"Is the head of the family worried that he is eager for revenge and will ruin your good deeds?"

Zhao Wanzhi asked.

"I do have this worry. Liu Xia is cunning, and we have all seen it. It is better to be careful."

Nangong Tianwen said.

"There is no suitable candidate at the moment, and I'm worried about wasting the opportunity to fight. Why don't the head of the family send someone to supervise him. In this way, you can rest assured."

Zhao Wanzhi said.

"That's all."

After saying this, Nangong Tianwen turned around and said, "I think you can go. I can rest assured."

Zhao Wanyi was stunned, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It's okay for me to go, but I'm just worried about the war on the front line."

"It doesn't matter, the southern expedition army won't be able to capture Yuan Hui for a while."

Nangong Tianwen said with a smile.

"Then my subordinate will obey."

Zhao Wanzhi said with clasped fists.

Nangong Tianwen waved his hand and said, "Go and have a good discussion with Yongwu. I'm tired today."

"yes."

After Zhao Wanzhi finished speaking, he exited the door.

After exiting the gate, Zhao Wanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes couldn't help but look towards the northern sky, with tears twinkling in his eyes, and he said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, the time has come for me to fulfill my loyalty."

————————————————————————

Liu Xia sat in the study and slowly opened her eyes.

The colorful flames surrounding his body gradually dispersed.

Four days have passed since the assassination of Nangong Xingchen, and tomorrow will be the day when the Nangong family navy sets out for the expedition.

This time, not only did he kill Nangong Xingchen, but he also got a lot of information.

Next, a naval battle is inevitable.

"Your Highness, Huangpu Jie would like to see you."

Liu Liansheng shouted.

"Come in."

At this time, Huang Pujie entered the camp.

"Your Highness, there have been a large number of fishing boats outside the navy camp in the past few days. I am worried that it is the Nangong family who is responsible for this. Do you want to prepare to expel them?"

"No need. How is the naval training going?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Your Majesty, after these days of training, the navy is ready to go on the expedition. However, most of our warships are still under repair. I'm afraid it will take some time."

Whampoa Jie Road.

"How many battleships are available now?"

Liu Xia asked.

"With less than three hundred, no more warships will be able to go to sea to fight."

Whampoa Road.

At this time, Zhang Zong hurriedly entered the room. After seeing Huang Pujie, he clasped his fists and saluted, then walked up to Liu Xia and said: "Your Highness, this is the battle report from the imperial court. It comes from Longdu."

"oh?"

Liu Xia hurriedly opened it and found that it was a letter written by the emperor.

After reading it again, Liu Xia asked: "Huang Pujie, do you know Zhao Wanzhi?"

"I have heard a little bit that Zhao Wanzhi is a retainer of the Nangong family. About eighteen years ago, he served as a state official in Jiangzhou. Later, he was implicated in the Longdu murder case and was subsequently exiled. From then on, this man defected to the Nangong family.

However, in the past few years, he has risen rapidly in the Nangong family and has become Nangong Tianwen's right-hand man. This man is very resourceful and has paid a lot of attention to Nangong in these years."

Huang Pujie said.

"oh."

When Liu Xia heard this, he fell silent.

The letter from the imperial capital only said two things. First, it asked Liu Xia to attack Taizhou as soon as possible because the army of the Tianxuan Dynasty in the northwest had already assembled. Second, it recommended Zhao Wenzhi to Liu Xia.

What Liu Xia didn't expect was that the emperor was extremely sophisticated.
