Zheng Hui was silent for a moment.

On the way to Wenzhou, he had already discussed with his second brother many times. They were unsure of how Wenzhou would view this matter and what kind of reaction they would make.

But as my second brother said, I can never let go without coming.

In this way, returning to Shouzhou empty-handedly basically announced that the Zheng family would disappear from the upper class map of Shouzhou.

With the nature of Umeda and his family, they would never tolerate the existence of the Zheng family, which had lost their strength base. It was the greatest luck to be swept out, and it was even more likely that they were completely shared.

Thinking of this, Zheng Hui felt nervous. He had already suffered a heavy blow to the ant thief's capture of Huoqiu. If he was swept out by Umeda's two families, the Zheng family would really have no chance of recovery.

So on this issue, Zheng Hui agreed with his second brother's itinerary to visit Xuzhou.

The attitude of Xuzhou makes people feel uncomfortable and difficult to rest.

Jiang Feng, the governor of Xuzhou, was not in Xuzhou, and went to Chang'an. The time for returning was uncertain. I am afraid that this trip would not be able to come back within a month or two.

The person in charge is not here, will the left-behind dare to make a decision?

Especially these people were gathered together by Jiang Feng in a very short period of time. How high does Jiang Feng trust these people?

Can they command the army?

No coach does not regard military power as a lie. Although Cui Shang is Jiang Feng's Sima, Zheng Hui does not think that a strategist who has only been to Xizhou for a few months can make such a big decision.

It’s a pity that Jiang Feng has neither marriage nor children, otherwise there should be someone who can make the decision.

"Second brother, now we have done what we should do, and it is the decision of the Xuzhou side." After a long time, Zheng Hui said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhou side is definitely interested in Shouzhou, which can be seen from the details of their inquiry of all the questions. Otherwise, they could have done it perfunctorily. It was just that Jiang Feng, the only regret, was not in Xuzhou."

Shaking his head, Zheng Hong took a deep breath, "We can't wait for Jiang Feng to come back. I bet that when we go back this time, the Umeda family will attack us, so we must pull Xuzhou in any case."

"Can we go back and take a flick and say that the Zhouzhou side supports us in rebuilding Huoqiu?" Zheng Hui thought for a while and said.

Zheng Hong's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again and shook his head slowly: "No, this will only cause fire and even force the Umeda and the two families to attack our Zheng family immediately. They have four armies in their hands, and most of our Fifth Army is destroyed. Now we only have hundreds of private soldiers from our family left in Shouchun City, and we cannot fight against them at all. And they really smoothed us out. With Huaibei and Huainan as their backing, Wuzhou has no choice but to do anything to them. Without us as an internal support, the Wuzhou army will have too much cost to attack Shouchun City, and Wuzhou will not do it."

"What should we do?" Zheng Hui also felt that what his brother said was in line with the style of the Umeda family, and he was a little too naive.

"We still have to let the Xizhou army intervene." Zheng Hong's face became more and more cold. "Only by completely dragging the Xizhou army into the game, we can survive. Otherwise, even if we survive by chance, Huaibei and Huainan will not tolerate it. We must let the Xizhou army be stationed in Shouchun City and completely sweep the Umeda family out. Our Zheng family will fully cooperate with the Xizhou army. Only in this way can the interests of our Zheng family be protected."

"But Jiang Feng is not here, who can decide the Xizhou army?" Zheng Hui shook his head, "Although Cui Shang is Sima, he is afraid he will not dare to decide such a major matter, and the Xizhou army may not obey his orders. Although the chief Chen Wei is a local clan, I think he has not even shown his face today. I think Jiang Feng is also intentionally not allowing him to participate in military affairs. This military power is probably firmly in the hands of Jiang Feng alone."

Zheng Hong still recognized his fifth brother's observation and analysis and judgment ability. Yes, he had a brief understanding of the situation of the Xuzhou army. The three armies, plus the incomplete cavalry and the Ya army, were clearly distinguished.

The first army is the absolute main force, Yang Kan, a general from the Daliang system, the second army is Xu Ziqing of the Xu family, Zhang Yue, a friend of Jiang Feng, and the cavalry and Ya army are Qin Zaidao, a former army from Guangzhou, and Ding Man, a Ding Liang system. This even distribution method is enough to show that Jiang Feng is good at it, and it also shows that no one can hold power alone in the Hanzhou army, except Jiang Feng himself.

"There is another person who may play a role or make decisions." Zheng Hong said slowly.

"Who?" Zheng Hui was surprised.

"Xu's daughter." Zheng Hong thought, "The two daughters of Xu, it is said that Jiang Feng intended to choose his eldest daughter as a fair wife and take the second daughter as a concubine. I believe these two daughters can play a role."

"Oh? Want to see me?" Xu Ning's eyes narrowed and turned cold in an instant. There was a little thoughtfulness between his eyebrows, "Didn't you say your name?"

"I didn't say it." The maid lowered her head, "but the maid saw that a soldier from the inn was escorting him."

"Soldier in the Inn?" Xu Ning was even more surprised and put down the book in his hand.

The newly built Inn by the Xuzhou Inn is only for visitors from outside. For so long, except for the inn by foreign guests who came to use it during the ceremony, the rest of the time has been idle, and ordinary people are not qualified to stay in the inn near the governor's mansion.

Unexpectedly, the visitor was escorted by the inn soldiers. You should know that the inn soldiers are almost all elite soldiers from the Ya army, which also shows that the visitor has an extraordinary identity.

"What did he say?" Xu Ning became interested.

Could it be that someone from Chang'an? Why should someone from Chang'an be so sneaky? It seems that it is not reasonable to find yourself.

Even though Erlang is not here, Wen has Chen Wei and Du Tuo, Wu has Cui Shang, and even if Yang Kan is not in the city of Xuzhou, at least Xu Ziqing is here, how could he come to his own gate?

Xu Ning and Xu Jing still lived alone in the courtyard, but the location of the courtyard has been changed, and they have been moved to live with a group of generals to facilitate vigilance and protection.

"He said he came to visit the governor's wife." The maid whispered.

Xu Ning suddenly raised his gaze, "Madam Governor?"

This title cannot be used on himself. Before Jiang Feng has married his wife, he cannot marry Jiang Feng. A common wife must be married after marrying a wife, but the concubine can accept it first.

"That's what he said, I'm coming to visit the eldest lady and the second lady." The maid added.

"Oh?" Xu Ning was even more surprised. He wanted to see him and Xiaojing. What does this person mean? "Have Xiaojing returned?"

"Miss II just came back and was still taking a shower."

"Then you go and invite the second lady here too."

When Xu Jing came over with some confusion, he was confused when he heard Xu Ning say this, "Sister, who is this person and what is the purpose of coming?"

"I don't know, so I asked you to meet with my sister." Xu Ning said calmly.

"Is it appropriate? Do you need to talk to Lord Cui and the others?" Xu Jing was still a little uneasy.

"I'm afraid Lord Cui and the others will know it, and they did not prohibit it. It means there is nothing, so I'll talk about it again after seeing you."

When Zheng Hong came to the hall, he saw two women sitting opposite each other.

The woman on the left was wearing a light green long skirt, with a slightly restrained narrow collar that was slightly different from the popular open-collar skirt dress. She had a half-sleeved pair of eyebrows, and her eyes were flowing with wisdom. Her slightly thin lips made the woman feel a little more shrewd.

The woman on the right can tell from her face shape that she is a compatriot and sister with the woman on the left, but her cheeks are slightly rounder, less sharp, more tender and gentle, especially her eyes are a little curious, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Zheng Hong has met two wives."

"Zheng Hong? Is it Master Zheng of Shouzhou?" Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Even Zheng Hong didn't expect that the woman would know her, and was very surprised, "It's Zheng, and Miss Ning also knows her name?"

"I heard for a long time that Lord Zheng is the pillar of the Zheng clan. Master Zheng has made great contributions to the Zheng clan's current situation." Xu Ning pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Although the little woman is ignorant, she still knows a little about her neighbors."

Zheng Hong couldn't help but admire him. As an important figure among the three major surnames of Shouzhou, he was not unfamiliar with the Xu family in Guangzhou.

The two beautiful girls in the Xu family are famous on Huainan Road. There are many famous children on Huainan Road who want to marry the two beautiful girls in the Xu family, even among the Zheng family. Later, the eldest daughter of Xu and the Zhou family in Shuzhou also caused a lot of heated discussion. There are rumors that this was chosen by the eldest daughter of Xu, which caused a sensation. However, the situation suddenly changed, the Xu family was destroyed, and the Zhou family in Shuzhou terminated the engagement.

I have long heard that this woman is quite savvy and wise, but now she sees that she is indeed well-known.

"Miss Ning is too good. Now the Zheng clan is at a critical moment of life and death, so Zheng came to Xizhou to ask for help. Unexpectedly, the governor was not here, so Zheng came to visit the two ladies and asked the Qingzhou army to save the Zheng clan from the fire and water." Zheng Hong did not give up on the circle and went straight to the point.

"Oh? Why did Lord Zheng say that? The ant thief has left Shouzhou and headed south. Now it is time for the gentry and people of Shouzhou to work together to restore and rebuild it?"

Xu Ning was surprised and happy inside, but he quickly restrained his emotions and made himself look calm and calm. Only Xu Jing, who was sitting aside, could understand his sister, who was so happy that Zheng Hong said.
