Dongming Ziyu nodded solemnly, "They are all secret letters between them and their subordinates. There is also another letter written by Nanyun Lengyue from a close minister to Zhou Puzhong. The purpose is to win over, but also to use kindness and power, and even encourage Zhou Puzhong to bewitch us.

…”

Dongming Ziyu explained the content of the letter in detail, and finally said: "According to the estimated time, it should have arrived yesterday."

Shangguan Ruoli frowned, "No wonder Mrs. Zhou acted like a proud mad dog today. She thought she had another choice."

The two sides have ceased war and want to negotiate a peace. The Zhou family has been frustrated by the matter of the two twin sisters. It stands to reason that they should restrain themselves in order to promote peace negotiations between the two parties.

Today, Mrs. Zhou was a bit intimidating and obviously didn't take them seriously.

Dongming Ziyu looked at Jingyang and asked, "What do you think?"

Jingyang didn't care about the pain in his butt, and said seriously: "Zhou Puzhong should still be weighing the pros and cons, otherwise we wouldn't be able to leave Ji City so easily today. But I guess in the end they should favor Nanyun Lengyue, after all, they all

They are from Nanyun, and Nanyun Lengyue is already the emperor of Nanyun. The high-ranking officials and generous salaries promised to them are right in front of them, but the benefits from their father are far away, and they have to fight for it with their own military merit."

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Your analysis is correct."

Ling Yao frowned, "Then hit! Catch him off guard!"

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "It doesn't matter."

Today we came out of Zhou Mansion safely. Nanyun Lengyue's trust in Zhou Puzhong has been reduced a bit.

Jingyang's eyes lit up, "If we do something from this, the trust between Zhou Puzhong and Nanyun Lengyue will also collapse. Now, let's spread the news that Zhou Puzhong and us have signed a cooperation contract."

Ling Yao said: "I will leave this matter to Wu Xiaoke! There must be many Nanyun Lengyue's informants among the people. Regardless of whether it is true or not, they will spread the news to Nanyun Lengyue as soon as possible."

Jingyang said: "Of course, Zhou Puzhong will also know this news. Once something happens, he will suspect that Nanyun Lengyue did it."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "I think we should first capture Licheng and Tongcheng, which are south of Jicheng, and cut off their road to Nanyun. In this way, they will be isolated and the support from Nanyun Lengyue will not be brought in.

Zhou Puzhong will be under greater pressure."

Ling Yao said: "Yes, use a two-pronged approach. If you don't accept it, fight again!"

Dongming Ziyu touched Ling Yao's head and said, "Yao'er is smart, so that's what we do."

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

She was my lover in the previous life, and she was just a cargo transporter, responsible for transporting this little love rival to Dongming Ziyu.

Jingyang pouted resentfully, which was obviously a countermeasure that he and his mother and concubine came up with. His sister just summed up the two together, but it was so praised by his father.

It's so sad, my father has always been partial to my sister.

Shangguan Ruo gave Dongming Ziyu a lingering look, and then looked at the somewhat lonely Jingyang.

Dongming Ziyu understood, and touched Jingyang's head, saying: "You are also very smart, but this time you pretended to fall into the water, which was a bit stupid. The merits and demerits are equal to each other."

Jingyang's expression didn't change much, but there was already a look of joy in his eyes.

I touched my arm, it was still very painful from hitting the railing.

That's right, he used his own internal force to knock the railing loose. His internal strength was limited, and his arms were purple. If his father and mother knew about it, he would probably suffer even more.

Fortunately, he had already figured out how to give him a bath, and he would keep it a secret from his father and mother.

…

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhou Mansion was very serious and full of gunpowder.

Mrs. Zhou slammed a tea cup to the ground and said angrily: "That Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Lingyao are really out of character and arrogant. They are both so arrogant and unreasonable in our house!"

She was so angry that she wished she could squeeze Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yao to death with her own hands in order to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Zhou Puzhong and his sons looked gloomy and ugly.

Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to ask for comfort, but her husband and sons became silent and became even more angry, "My brother controls Licheng and the whole city. Based on this alone, shouldn't we be given three cents of face? But look at it now

The situation made us slap in the face!"

Zhou Puzhong was really not in the mood to coax her today, so he said with a cold face: "Now that they've hit us in the face, it's too late for us to make them cry!"

The eldest son of the Zhou family frowned and objected: "Father, although Nanyun Lengyue promised us to annihilate Dongming Ziyu, he would grant us the title of king and make Jicheng, Licheng and Tongcheng our fiefs. However, Dongming Ziyu

Is it that easy to deal with?"

Mrs. Zhou patted the Arhat's bed and said sadly: "My son, why do you want to destroy your own prestige and gain the ambition of others!"

Young Master Zhou frowned and said, "Mom, please calm down. It's not that the son is not living up to expectations, it's actually... Dongming Ziyu's eldest son, Dongming Jingyu, is destined by fate..."

Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "What destiny! A ten-year-old baby, and now he has not established a foothold in Dongming!"

Young Master Zhou said: "Mother, although Nanyun Lengyue promised to grant the king and land, he did not give us any support. Dongming Ziyu has occupied all the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Jicheng. We are now unable to protect ourselves!"

Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Puzhong and said, "Husband, what do you mean?"

A cold light flashed in Zhou Puzhong's eyes, "To deal with Dongming Ziyu, we don't necessarily have to use troops. I will reply to the emperor immediately and ask someone to send poison. Then, I will go to Dongming Ziyu's military camp to pay for the injury of the third young master in the mansion.

Apologize……"

What he said was profound, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.

Mr. Zhou smiled bitterly, "Dongming Ziyu is unstoppable now. If we swing around like this, it may be detrimental to us."

Zhou Puzhong frowned and said: "But this is Nanyun's land after all. He is an invader. Even if he is defeated, he will not be able to stand. The people of Nanyun will not obey and will drive them out sooner or later!"

Mr. Zhou did not have the national righteousness of his father. More than three hundred years ago, the entire Canglan Continent was an empire, and the last emperor was the black-robed ancestor.

Basically speaking, Nanyun, Beiling, Dongming and Xirong are from the same clan.

The world must be divided if it is united for a long time, and united if it is divided for a long time. The people of Nanyun have been living in dire straits for more than ten years. With the example of Yuancheng, the people will not resist too fiercely, and may even yearn for the wealthy and stable life of the people of Yuancheng.

But Zhou Puzhong of the Zhou family makes the decision, and if others have different opinions, they can only obey.

As the wife of the back house, Mrs. Zhou was not as decisive as the men in killing her. She said hesitantly: "What you said is reasonable. This matter must be considered in the long run. Otherwise, if one thought goes wrong, our Zhou family may fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.

"

Zhou Puzhong raised his eyebrows and said with the word "Sichuan", "The soldiers are pressing down on the border, and we cannot have a long-term plan. We must make a choice as quickly as possible, otherwise neither side will be able to get anything good!"
