Wang Qi sighed and understood in his heart that Wang Xiao had to wait until the officials sent by Jinan were dispatched. The Jinyiwei dared to start raiding the house. It was definitely not an easy job to count the Pingxing Bo Mansion.

——Ah, Brother Xiao is getting more and more fierce, and I am so annoyed.

After finally dealing with it, Wang Qi planned to withdraw as soon as possible, but then he walked to the door. Wang Xiao said another sentence behind him, which shocked him to death!

"Go and let Your Highness come and see me."

"Ah! This... It turns out that Your Highness sneaked into the team... I don't know... Oh! I remembered it, it seems that I really brought him..."

~~

The two walnuts were spinning clumsyly in their hands. Zhou Yan was quite happy all the way, but he became a little confused when he arrived in Xuzhou.

When Wang Yan came back and said that, he was also surprised, and another walnut on his hand fell to the ground.

"I told you from the beginning, but I can't hide it." Wang Yun said: "When I came here this time, Brother Xiao is getting more and more harsh. I'm just pretending to be sick and lazy for a few days. He insisted on asking what everyone knows. I'm scared to death. You have to be careful."

"Well, it's okay to explain it to my brother-in-law, I'll go."

"Don't bring walnuts with him, let him see that they are going to scold me again..."

~~

Zhou Yan, dressed as a servant, walked through the government office and saw Xiao Chaihe walking by not far away, still as if he hadn't recognized him.

——The problem is, when my brother-in-law summons a servant, you should at least look at me.

Zhou Yan sighed in his heart, understanding that Xiao Chaihe had actually known that he was in the team for a long time.

After he entered the hall, Wang Xiao had already stood up and bowed, "Your Highness."

"Brother-in-law, I...I'm here, I actually have something to ask you."

"Please sit down with your highness." Wang laughed and poured Zhou Yan a cup of tea.

Although Zhou Yan was uneasy, he still sat upright, without any appearance as a servant.

"I don't want to go around with my brother-in-law. The discussion in Jinan City made me become more and more intense, but my brother-in-law didn't express his opinion. I didn't know what to do, so I sneaked out because I was sick. This matter has nothing to do with Wang Yun, I forced him."

Wang Xiao held the teacup and warmed his hands, saying, "It's just like running out, it's going to run out. What's the big deal?"

Zhou Yan was stunned.

He heard Wang laugh again, "It's hard to be bored in the palace every day, so it's okay to go out for a walk. Next time I'm going to come out, I'll issue an edict openly."

"I'm just afraid that Mr. Song would not agree." Zhou Yan said, "What's more, Chu's law stipulates that vassal kings are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without permission."

Wang Xiao naturally understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence.

"Your Majesty, are you trying to ask about becoming emperor?"

Zhou Yan and Zheng Sheng said: "Yes."

Wang Xiao said: "I don't express my opinion on this matter. It's not what you are worried about, but I 'can't' express my opinion. This is a game between us and Nanjing. Once I express my opinion, things become a fixed number and I have lost the means of checks and balances. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yan relaxed and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not worried about anything..."

"Even if your highness is worried, it is normal." Wang smiled and said, "But I never thought about calculating or testing your highness. Now that the land has not been lost, the enemy is eyeing us, and it is too late to protect ourselves. Why should we focus on these suspicions about each other?"

Zhou Yan was a little ashamed and pursed his lips and didn't know how to answer.

He came to Xuzhou with all kinds of thoughts, but Wang Xiao removed all his thoughts with just one sentence, making him feel that he was... a petty man.

——It’s just a throne, how is it worth tossing and turning like this?

But Zhou Yan thought about it, still raised his head and said with a sigh: "I think I did the right thing to see my brother-in-law when I came to Xuzhou! I confessed and asked the doubts. Only when I heard my brother-in-law's answer with my own ears would I avoid being suspicious in my heart."

"What does your Highness want to do? Why bother with others thinking it's right?"

Wang Xiao said casually, and said, "I have also heard about your highness and your concubine. This matter has arisen because of me. I will give you some ideas for your Highness."

"Brother-in-law, please tell me."

"The ministers think that the concubine is a woman from a foreign country, but if His Highness can make a foreign country ambition into his own country, how dare those people continue to make noise when they see that His Highness has such ambition?"

Zhou Yan was stunned again, as if he had some enlightenment.

Wang Xiao said again: "This is just a way of thinking. The key to the problem lies in your own confidence. In this world, the less confident you are, the more they dare to bully you, even if you are the dignified King of Qi."

Zhou Yan thought deeper and his eyes were a little sore, and he immediately understood many of the truths.

If you really have the courage of your brother-in-law, why should the ministers worry that he is so successful that he is so powerful that he is a princess in a foreign country?

If she had the courage, her concubine would not always blame herself for kidnapping her over.

No wonder my brother-in-law dared to raise so many outdoor rooms in a noble manner, and no one dared to say that he was not...

Thinking about this, my brother-in-law is willing to warn him for this reason. He is so loyal and open-minded, but he still doubts him...

"Brother-in-law, I understand."

It’s easy to understand, but it’s harder to do… Wang Xiao sighed in his heart and suddenly asked, “Does Your Highness miss your father?”

Zhou Yan was a little confused when he heard this.

Father?

I haven't seen it a few times when I was alive, so I have nothing to think about now...

Zhou Yan replied: "The father has a spirit in heaven. I must be happy to see us expel Jiannu."

Wang smiled and said, "I suddenly miss him very much recently. I guess if he is still there, we don't have to work so hard... Let's not talk about this anymore. Since Your Highness is here, it's just right to see how the internal struggles in the southern court consume national strength. You and I will take it as a warning."

Zhou Yan nodded, smiled, and said with great courage: "Okay, it's up to them to see how we work together to overcome difficulties together!"

——Who said that my brother-in-law is becoming more and more strict? In my opinion, my brother-in-law is becoming more and more gentle and peaceful.

Then he heard Wang laugh and said, "By the way, I will behead Xu Zhen's bad generals at Caishikou tomorrow. Your Highness can go and have a look..."

~~

"Girl, the Duke of the State refused the invitation to visit Yunlong Lake again, but this time he said... If the three young men have time tomorrow, they can come to Caishikou to see the behead..."

"Invite us to see the behead?" Gu Hengbo was slightly stunned, turned to look at Li Xiangjun and the three young masters of Fushe.

"The Duke of the State invited only three young masters and said... Xuzhou acted according to law. As long as the three young masters did not violate Chu's law, they would never be arrested and there was no need to hide."

Hou Fangyu was a little ashamed.

The reason why I hid in the Yujia Jishan Hall was that I really wanted to observe Wang Xiao first, so as not to appear rashly and be caught.

Now it seems that I am judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain...

"What do you think about this, Brother Fang?"

Fang Yizhi said: "I have recently watched Wang Xiao act, and follow the rules, govern Xuzhou with reasonable rules and loving the people. This person's philosophy has something in common with me. If he can help his soldiers take over Nanjing without bloodshed, he will be able to manage it slowly, and eliminate the old diseases in Jiangnan, the people will be lucky."

He patted his robes and showed a generous look.

"I have decided, so there is no need to hesitate anymore. Even if he sets the executioner to kill me tomorrow, I can go!"

"I'm willing to go too." Chen Zhenhui finished speaking and asked again: "But they ignore us at all. Even invitations have been rejected in the past few days. Tomorrow... can he convince him to agree?"

Fang Yizhi looked at Hou Fangyu and said, "As long as Chen Cifu supports him and Marquis Meng is willing to send troops to respond, we still have bargaining chips for negotiation."

Hou Fangyu nodded and said, "Chen Cifu and Mr. Meng have both replied, expressing their sincere intentions to do things without any repetition."

He changed his voice and pondered again: "But I always feel that something is wrong... I have been thinking about it these days. Since Zheng Yuanhua went south from Yanjing, how smart and crafty have he always suppressed the restoration of the society? This time, he reacted too slowly..."

"He is old." Chen Zhenhui said: "Maybe he looked down on the younger generation of our Fushe and thought we could not accomplish anything. He told him what it means to be 'the new wave of the Yangtze River pushes the old wave, and the new one replaces the old one'!"

After speaking, everyone was arrogant.

However, the next moment, reality gave them a small blow.

Yu Mu, the person who is now in charge of the Yu family, came to visit and said something very nice.

The general meaning is that the Jiangnan side would exempt Xuzhou from taxes, and Wang Xiao immediately ordered a big beheading at Caishikou. Depending on the situation, Xuzhou might be in chaos.

My Yu family is smart and sees the situation clearly. There are many Jinyiwei and Shandong officials coming to the city. It seems that Wang Xiao is going to be in Xuzhou for a long time. I plan to bet on Wang Xiao’s side first. But Wang Xiao is cruel and tyrannical. You guys from Fushe should run away quickly. I will prepare a carriage and horse to escort you.

The words sound nice, but the deeper meaning is - my Yu family has surrendered and dare not take you in, so leave quickly.

Fang Yizhi felt a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, we are not an enemy of the Duke. Xuzhou values ​​the rule of law and will not catch people for no reason."

Yu Mu smiled apologized and said for a long time, saying that Wang Xiao must be because of Li Xiangjun and Gu Hengbo's face. When the girl's face is used up, you still have trouble, so leave early.

Fang Yizhi had no choice but to tell him again that he was here to plan a matter with Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao already knew that he was here and invited him to meet and discuss it tomorrow.

Yu Mu was half-believing and half-doubted, and finally wanted to make friends with these young masters of aristocratic families. He went there worriedly and asked them to continue to live...

After this little episode, the passion of the three young men left behind Fushe was inexplicably reduced by half, and they became a little dull.

They also have resilience and discuss how to convince Wang Xiao tomorrow, so they will not sleep completely.

Until dawn the next day, the three of them changed their clothes with their black eyes and walked towards the entrance of the Caishi.

"To this day, the passionate people who serve the country have been repeatedly excluded. Teachers, friends and elders have been relieved of their officials and returned home. The burden of restoring the society has fallen on our shoulders. We are obliged to save the nation."

"The people of Jiangnan will be put under war, even if they die, I will convince Wang Xiao today."
