"It is said that it was submitted, but he was suppressed and prevented from being known to all officials."

"Why is this?" Ye Zhiqiu felt very strange. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, "I understand that what he wanted to hide was both the officials and the Crown Princess."

"Crown Princess?"

"The Crown Princess is now four months pregnant. If the news from the Ministry of War is made public, the news that the Bihai Kingdom will be invaded south soon will spread soon. Once it reaches the Crown Princess, he will definitely not be able to sit idly by. Moreover, the Bihai Kingdom and my Cangwu Kingdom have been allies for many years. When Bihai is in trouble, I Cangwu will ignore it. Where should his name be the benevolent king?"

"So he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he was secretly informed?"

"Yes, as long as the Bihai Kingdom is peaceful on the table, the Cangwu Kingdom can ignore it. And I am worried that his mind will not be the only one, and it is unknown whether he will have the idea of ​​snatching food from the tiger's mouth. You know, he is the twin son of the Mu Yun family. Isn't the series of plans the best of their ancestors?"

Han Fu looked shocked and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ye means... he plans to take the opportunity to fight eastward and divide the Blue Sea Kingdom with Imulan?"

"I don't know if this is the case, but we must not let it go. You must know that according to our original agreement with Wen Lan, we are waiting for the Imulan army to take over Taiye City before taking action. If Wen Lan had not arrived in Taiye City yet, Li Houcong wanted to seize the opportunity to cross the river, and it would be difficult for Wen Lan to not turn against us."

"What does this mean? How can Li Houcong's sinister thoughts be blamed on us?"

"Wen Lan is good at ghost plotting the left-handedly. If we sit and watch Li Houcong cross the river to attack Bihai Kingdom, he will inevitably suspect that we deliberately let Li Houcong fight with him, wanting to make profits. Even if we don't have this intention, we will be suspicious of jumping into the Hanjiang River to wash it clearly."

"Wen Languo really thinks this way?" Han Fu was a little skeptical, "But even if we let it go, what way can Li Houcong pass the river? Aren't the tiger-head ship and the head ship used to cross the Hanjiang River in the hands of Bihai Kingdom? Are we a little too worried?"

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at him and smiled and said, "Mr. Han is so confused. Just think about it. Is there really no way he can do it? I'm afraid that he not only has it, but also has a very legitimate reputation."

Han Fuxiang was proficient in war, but whenever he analyzed the situation with Ye Zhiqiu, he always felt a little inferior. He immediately became unruly and asked sincerely: "I hope to get advice from Lord Ye."

"Does Lord Han still remember the incident during the Battle of Poison and Gold? Emperor Ming of Bihai sent Eight Hundred Li to express his letter of help to my country of Cangwu."

"Remember," Han Fu suddenly woke up as soon as he reminded him, "You mean... you mean!"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "As Lord Han guessed, now Imulan plans to go south again, and the military situation is urgent, the Ming Emperor will definitely ask for help from Cangwu Kingdom again. Therefore, there is no need for Li Houcong to think of any other way to cross the river. The Ming Emperor will prepare to get off the ship and carry the soldiers of Cangwu Kingdom directly to Binzhou. By then...

Han Fu couldn't help but stand up on his back and murmured: "At that time, he just needs to drive straight in, and take advantage of the gap between the Jinyu Camp and the Imuran army fighting in the front, and attack the city and the land in the rear..."

"Yes. This plan is not bad."

"But I still don't understand. If there is a letter from Bihai Country asking for help, I will definitely report to the Ministry of War first. I am the commander of the first battalion and it is impossible for me to know any movement. So far, I have not seen any news from Bihai Country."

Ye Zhiqiu raised the teapot and poured a cup for him, and said lightly: "Mr. Han, the last time I went on a mission to the Bihai Sea, you may not know that Li Houcong once asked me to bring more than a dozen pairs of rare birds of various colors to the Ming Emperor of Bihai."

Han Fu didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this irrelevant bird.

"Parrots, starlings, mandarin ducks, and colorful pheasants are all hidden. There is a pair of birds, but they are rare pigeons and harriers in my country of Cangwu."

"Pigeon!"

Han Fu knew that pigeons and harps were the most important treasures in the army and that they could deliver messages without any disadvantages, but there were only twenty or thirty such treasures in the whole country. Unexpectedly, Li Houcong would actually give a pair to Emperor Ming of Bihai.

"So from then on, Li Houcong had more private letter exchanges with the Bihai Minghuang. Now the Bihai Kingdom has been under the border by the Imuran army. At this time, there were pigeons and harriers around Minghuang that were far more urgent than 800 miles away. What would you say she would do?"

"No wonder the Ministry of War has not received any news. Lord Ye means... In fact, the letter of help from Emperor Ming has already reached Li Houcong's hands?"

"Well, it should be like this. Think carefully about what he said in the palace yesterday. Zhu Zhiling's death was because he received a letter from the Bihai Kingdom. But the crown prince of the allied kingdom died, and he should have been the prophet of the neighboring country's Ministry of Rites, and then he would have paid tribute to the funeral. However, my Ministry of Rites did not get any news, and Li Houcong knew everything. In such a few days, the letters that were transmitted to him quickly. What else could it be if it weren't a pigeon?"

"So that's it..." Han Fu suddenly realized.

"Just..." Ye Zhiqiu flashed a hint of hesitation, "I'm very surprised. It's logical that soldiers are very fast. If he really plans to seize food from a tiger's mouth, why don't you just let you station troops by the river for a few days? Once there is a change on the other side of the Han River, you can cross the river at any time. Why do you still need to take your army back to the imperial capital first?"

Han Fu thought for a while: "Maybe the matter of Mu Yunzuo has not been settled, he is always a little worried, or maybe the Emperor Ming’s letter of help was delivered immediately?"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said in confusion: "I don't know either, but I always feel that Li Houcong seems to be waiting for something."

For a moment, the courtyard was silent, and occasionally the koi in the pond jumped up and brought out a few splashes of water.

"Anyway, Lord Han, it is our most critical moment now. If you want to grasp Li Houcong's mind, you must try to get close to him. He already has a lot of trust in you, and this is a rare opportunity. You have the most combat power in your hands. If I guess correctly, he will call you into the palace to discuss secretly and ask about your military use in the blue sea. Now the Taishi Mansion has become a pile of dry tombs, and there are very few people in the army who can compare with you. You must seize the opportunity and volunteer automatically and hold the military power of the army in your hands. In this way, our plan to restore the country is not far away!"

Han Fu was so excited by his words that he clasped his fists and said, "Master Ye is a real magical plan. He expects the enemy to be the first in everything. I think even the descendants of Mu Yun's family are just like this. Not all Li Houcong's thoughts are clearly touched by Master Ye. Please rest assured, if he really summons me to the palace again and talk about the blue sea secretly, I will definitely deal with it as Lord Ye told me!"

"So good, so good..." Ye Zhiqiu picked up the teacup and drank it first.

The four-leaf golden gourd tea is fragrant, and it also has the sweetness of a loofah fruit, which makes it sweet when you put it down. However, after putting down the tea cup, Ye Zhiqiu felt indescribable uneasiness. He always felt that he seemed to have missed something. This uneasy feeling was like the inexplicable depression that surged in his chest when he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, which could not be dissipated for a long time.

After watching Han Fu disappear silently on the rockery, Ye Zhiqiu was about to go back to the room to rest for a while, when he suddenly saw Mrs. Ye standing next to the corridor column.

"Madam, how do you stand in that wind?"

Mrs. Ye asked back, “Is he leaving?”

"Um."

"Does he know about Li Taijun and Wei Taipin?"

"I told him."

Mrs. Ye said with emotion: "Zhiqiu, things have reached this point. Even if you hide your head and tail, even outsiders, I, as a person, can sense the danger. Don't you feel it?"

"Madam, Mrs. Li is the fault of his own fault, while Concubine Wei is the jealousy of women. Their deaths are all about time. What should I be afraid of? "Ye Zhiqiu frowned and said, "What's more, Madam, you have never been an outsider."

"But as long as you want, we can stay out of the matter. Now that the Grand Master Mansion has become an empty mansion, what are you going to do? "

"The Grand Tutor's Mansion is just the beginning. None of us can stay out of the matter. Do you think it's okay to return to Chen'er of Imulan? He has been kept in the dark since he was a child. Even so, he has become the king of a country. People who understand the overall situation like you and me have hesitated in their hearts. Wouldn't it be a joke?"

"Chen'er... Chen'er..." Mrs. Ye's eyes were shocked and suspicious, but she knew very well that there would be such a day. Her eyes turned red and she couldn't help crying, "I really don't know how painful he is in his heart now..."

"Torment? I don't think so. Madam is afraid she doesn't know yet, right? He even changed his name to Su You. Madam, people will always change. Even a young boy knows how to judge the situation..."

"Aren't you joining forces to force him?" Mrs. Ye excitedly looked excited, "You sent him to the Imuran people with your own hands, leaving only a letter. He knew that you had kept him so many things for so long, how could he not annoy you?"

"If you are annoyed, you will be annoyed. No matter how annoyed you are, you will not change the fact that I have raised him for seventeen years. No matter how the world changes, he will have to repay my kindness!"

"You're so confident that he will listen to you?"

"I'm not that confident," Ye Zhiqiu said calmly: "But... aren't you still madam?"

"You..." Mrs. Ye was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect that her husband had even planned to take care of Su Xiaochen.

"Madam... You and I have always been doing well over the years. Everyone has their own division of labor and are good at it. I am too strict, don't you clear the things that are too strict?" Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "For example, if I don't let him practice calligraphy, you secretly teach him without hiding it. He has always been timid to me, but he is closer to you. As long as he fears me more, he will respect you more. He will be deeply in love with you in the future, and it will be a waste of my good intentions."

Mrs. Ye shook her head in disappointment and said, "Pretty? Maybe you have been playing a good father all the time. But I treat him sincerely and protect him, and never thought about dressing up. I taught him calligraphy just because he likes it, and there is not so much calculation."

Ye Zhiqiu laughed and nodded, "Madam said it very well. Treating him sincerely is the highest realm. If I have the intention to dress up like this, I will eventually show the traces and fall into the inferior. It can be seen that compared to Madam, I am not as good as I am."

Her husband's words made Mrs. Ye feel inexplicable disgust in her chest, and she felt almost disgusted and hurriedly reached out to support the corridor column.

Seeing that her face was pale, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to reach out to help her, but Mrs. Ye said coldly:

"Need not!"

The two of them took a step back and left opposite each other.
