Back in the harem (yard), Wang Zhiqing sat in a chair with a gloomy face. The chair was not located by the window or in other places where the sun could shine. On the contrary, it was placed near the corner of the room. This corner seemed a little dark because it was not shining all year round, but it could give Wang Zhiqing a sense of security. Perhaps it was a habit developed in years of missionary experience. More importantly, there was a secret door behind this chair. With Wang Zhiqing's skills, he could escape through this secret door anytime and anywhere as long as he was given a few seconds.

My eyes looked along the floor tiles to the partition wall not far away, with a painting hanging on it. This is a simple landscape painting, not written by famous masters, but it has this atmosphere.

Wang Zhiqing looked at it blankly and sighed after a long time. As the leader and the current Three Saint Kings, he didn't know how the situation of the White Lotus Sect was. When he was so angry that he was so exhausted before leaving the river, he felt a little overwhelmed.

The situation in Henan and Sichuan now makes him unable to choose for a while. Although he looks confident on the surface, Wang Zhiqing is actually hesitating.

"Senior Brother...!"

The voice of Madam Lin came from the door. She was the only one who could come to him directly without the guard's notice. Wang Zhiqing came to his senses, stood up and said, "Lin" and said, as soon as he finished speaking, Madam Lin gently pushed open the door and saw her graceful figure appear in front of him.

"Senior brother is still worried about what happened before?" After entering the door, Madam Lin saw that Wang Zhiqing's face was not very good, so she asked lightly, then walked straight forward, turned behind Wang Zhiqing and gently pressed her fingers on his forehead. Madam Lin had a good technique. In the past, whenever Wang Zhiqing was exhausted, Madam Lin would use this method to help him eliminate fatigue, and now it is the case.

Feeling the appropriate force coming from the head, Wang Zhiqing felt much more relaxed after a while.

"The situation in Sichuan is really as the right prime minister said?" Wang Zhiqing asked.

"Not very good..." Lady Lin sighed, sounding like she was answering something irrelevant, but Wang Zhiqing was very clear about her meaning.

"In your opinion, can Chengdu be kept?"

"Senior Brother, you asked the wrong person. I am just a woman. How do you know this?" Madam Lin did not stop the work in her hand and smiled faintly.

"There is no outsider. Besides, I want to hear what my junior sister thinks, just talk about it." Wang Zhiqing said with his eyes closed.

"This..." Lady Lin hesitated for a moment before saying: "My teaching has more than 200,000 people in Chengdu, and the people in Chengdu and surrounding areas can gather together. Besides, Chengdu is not that small. Besides, the city of Chengdu is strong and thick, and it is not so easy to fight. Although the Qing army is powerful, I think it can still be held for a while, but it will be difficult to say after a long time. After all, senior brother, you are not in command in Sichuan, and relying solely on the people in Chengdu, you may not have the ability."

Although Lady Lin was tactful, she was not optimistic about Chengdu. To put it bluntly, after the White Lotus Sect left Sichuan, they basically took away all the elites in the sect, and the top leaders of the sect also followed Wang Zhiqing to Henan. Although there were many people in the White Lotus Sect who remained in Sichuan, they were actually a mess. In addition, the important figures in the sect who could not suppress the scene were in it. It was difficult for Chengdu to resist the Qing army. Maybe it could defend Chengdu for a while, but it was obvious that Chengdu was lost over time.

Originally, Wang Zhiqing thought that after entering Henan, it would be equivalent to a dragon returning to the sea. It was not difficult to sweep the Central Plains with the strength of the White Lotus Sect, and finally winning the world was not difficult. But who would have thought that the cruel reality gave Wang Zhiqing a blow. Now, the White Lotus Sect not only failed to open up the situation in Henan, but could only stay in the Nanyang area and barely maintain it. Under such circumstances, Wang Zhiqing couldn't help but hesitate.

Wang Zhiqing saw the dispute between Zhang Miao and Cui Liang. In fact, he was so entangled in his heart now. He wanted to go back to Sichuan, but he was afraid that once he returned to Chengdu, the White Lotus Sect would fall into a dilemma. But if he didn't go back, he watched Chengdu be captured by the Qing army and even threw it away, and he could not open up the situation in Nanyang.

"If I had known today, why should I be there?" This sentence suddenly flashed through Wang Zhiqing's mind. He shouldn't have been in a hurry to leave Sichuan, but to manage Sichuan well and then attack Guangyuan directly. After solving the Guangyuan Qing army, from Sichuan to Shaanxi, there would be no current situation at all.

That being said, it's too late to regret it now. Wang Zhiqing is good at preaching and is better at bewitching people's hearts, but he is not a person with strategic vision, or he has no talent in his White Lotus Sect who has the ability to judge the overall situation. Even Zhang Miao, Cui Liang and others are not qualified generals. This is also the main reason why Wang Zhiqing had hundreds of thousands of troops after he won the entire Sichuan Province but played such a good card into a bad game.

"Senior brother, I don't know whether to say it or not." Lady Lin suddenly said.

"Tell me, what can't you talk about between you and me?"

Lady Lin advised: "When I entered Henan, my sect planned to use a large army to wipe out the Central Plains and then advance northwards, but the situation is not what we thought at the beginning. Let's not talk about the Qing army for now. Compared to my sect, although the Qing army is fewer, the Qing army has extremely strong combat effectiveness. In addition, there are Mongolian cavalry in hand, and we are really at a disadvantage in the battle between the two armies in the Central Plains Plain."

Hearing this, Wang Zhiqing nodded. In the battle of Lushan, nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Qing army rushed forward. He could not see it all by himself. Although the White Lotus Sect has many people, compared with the White Lotus Sect, the well-trained Qing army is not comparable to those of the old soldiers in Sichuan. Now, the White Lotus Sect and Zhu Jiancai have joined forces to barely tie the Qing army. It is really difficult to defeat the Henan Qing army with their own strength.

"Besides, Sichuan has undergone a major change, and it is probably too late to return to Sichuan. So according to what my younger sister saw, the senior brother has to make plans early, so as not to lose both ends and stay in the lonely city at that time!"

Wang Zhiqing shook his head and sighed: "It's not easy. Now it's a dilemma. Advance is neither a retreat nor a retreat. Moreover, the Qing army in the north has been moving. Maybe this war will begin again, it's difficult... it's difficult!"

"Actually, senior brother still has a way to go." At this time, Lady Lin suddenly said.

Wang Zhiqing looked up at Lady Lin in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

Lady Lin smiled, and saw her stopping the movements in her hand, pointing to the left and saying, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten that you have a good son-in-law? Now your son-in-law has taken over the Jingzhou Prefecture and occupied Yueyang in one breath, and is about to return to Jiangxi. Henan is facing south, not far from Hubei. Instead of fighting with the Qing army in Henan, it is better to go south to Hubei. No matter what, Gao Jin is more reliable than Zhu Jian, let alone those two girls are still by Gao Jin's side, right?"
