After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

Fang Chuning also knew that Han Ziqi would most likely not send troops to suppress the pirates. He had a rough understanding of the relationship between Sang Nan and the pirates before he landed ashore. Now that Han Ziqi was shirk, Fang Chuning said, "The mission was attacked. If the prince sends troops to suppress the pirates, we still have to negotiate the ownership of the pirates. We, Beining, have a vast territory and rich resources, and we do not lack this territory, but if we insist on not sending troops, and I return to Yangzhou in the future and lead the Jiangnan Navy to suppress the bandits, Sangnan will no longer be qualified to compete with me, Beining, for the ownership of this piece of territory."

"General Fang, are you threatening me?"

"I want land but don't want to hire people. Isn't it appropriate?" Fang Chuning's attitude was tough and arrogant. "Did I force you? Did I force you? Lin Xiao, did you hear that I made things difficult for others?"

"No!" Lin Xiao said forcefully!
  "Okay, let me think about this." Han Ziqi also knew that there were nearly a hundred casualties in the mission. "You have worked hard all the way here. I originally prepared a banquet for you tonight, but it is not suitable to come. Let's talk in a few days. , I will send someone to help you with your funeral arrangements."

"Thank you!" Fang Chuning's tone was more sincere. Almost all the dead brothers could be fished out, so they could only be cremated on the spot and take their ashes back to their hometown. Fang Chuning and all the soldiers hoped that the brothers could return to their roots. .

After taking care of the funeral affairs, it was already sunset when we returned. Xie Jue managed to regain some energy, and Han Ziqi became reasonable. He was not in a hurry. It was not too late to rest in Shuilan City for a day or two before setting off, from Shuilan City to the capital. It's only about five days' journey, and the entire Sangnan is only that big, so there's no need to rush.

"You went to urge Han Ziqi to send troops?" Xie Jue asked Fang Chuning while drinking porridge. Even if he was in a coma, he knew what Fang Chuning had done.

"He refused!" Fang Chuning had long since lost his aggressiveness in front of Han Ziqi. "The ownership of the island is uncertain, which is why pirates are so rampant. Han Ziqi wants you to agree to the ownership before he is willing to send troops to suppress the bandits."

"Dream!" Xie Jue said coldly, "He is quite good at bargaining."

"Let him, a gentleman takes revenge. It's not too late in ten years. When I return to Yangzhou, I will settle the score." Fang Chuning held back his anger. No one expected that he would encounter pirates if his mission went wrong. Not only were so many brothers killed and injured, but the Sangnan people heard about this, which really made them laugh. Fang Chuning and Xie Jue also guessed that the Sangnan people must be laughing at them behind their backs. They were disgraced before they even arrived in the capital, and no one was holding it back. fire.

"You don't need to test him. If he really sends troops to suppress the bandits, it will be troublesome to ask for ownership rights in the future."

"With his eagerness for quick success, how is that possible!" Fang Chuning frowned and looked at his waist, "How is the injury?"

Xie Jue's face was expressionless, "Can my fresh wound be healed in one day?"

Knowingly ask!

Fang Chuning smiled. Xie Jue endured it and asked softly, "How many people were killed or injured?"

Fang Chuning looked at him worriedly and told the truth, this matter cannot be deceived, "Thirty-six people died, more than fifty were injured, and the bodies... only eleven people were recovered."

The rest of the people sank to the bottom of the sea. Now the people who were missing on the list all died. Xie Jue felt extremely uncomfortable. This was even more uncomfortable than the first time he made a wrong decision on the battlefield. The mistakes in decision-making back then were mostly caused by panic and regret. I had little experience and was too conceited. Now I am obviously a prince and a general who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, but I have made a fatal mistake.

"Tingfeng, this is no one's fault. It was an accident. We didn't expect the wind and waves, and we didn't expect the pirates to attack. It's the rampant pirates who are at fault, not you." Fang Chuning tried his best to comfort Xie Jue's emotions, " You can be sad and blame yourself, but you can't indulge in it too much." "I know." He was seriously injured. In addition to taking medicine, he just drank some porridge. Now he has lost his appetite. "Don't worry, I'm not that delicate. , can bear it.”

"I know too." Fang Chuning looked at him distressedly, "But I still want to hug you and comfort you, even if I want to share a little sadness with you."

Because the mission was attacked and the dinner was cancelled, Han Ziqi went to the magistrate's mansion overnight, held him by the lapel of his clothes and asked, "Did you do the attack on the mission? You are too audacious!"

"It's wrong... It's wrong, Your Majesty, no matter how brave we are, we don't dare to attack the mission. This was an accident. Who knew they would encounter a storm and encounter pirates. Your Majesty, please calm down, this is God’s will, they have a bad start, which is a good omen for us!”

Han Ziqi violently threw him away and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that I don't know what my eldest brother has planned. He wants to ruin this peace negotiation and also wants Xie Jue's life. Let me tell you, before my father talks with him, at one point No accidents are allowed, anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed by me!"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to the sun and the moon, and I have no doubts about it. The pirates looted the city, and we also suffered greatly. How can we join in the evil?"

Zhizhou complained about injustice, but Han Ziqi did not believe it. Han Ziqi was not the only son of King Sangnan, nor was he the eldest son of King Sangnan. King Sangnan had twenty-one sons. Han Ziqi ranked fifth and was the son of the step princess. The second and third sons born to the late princess lost their mother's protection and became unpopular with their father. The power of their mother's family was also devoured. Han Ziqi's grandfather was a general whom King Sangnan relied on, and he had a good relationship with the priesthood. , so Han Ziqi was granted the title of Crown Prince.

Sangnan is a vassal state of Beining. Although it is independent and autonomous, it cannot be called emperor, but can only be a king. It is equivalent to the autonomy of Beining vassal king, so the crown prince is equivalent to the prince.

Han Ziqi is the next heir.

However, King Sangnan's eldest son was six years older than Han Ziqi. He was quite talented and courageous, and he had a son who was very popular with King Sangnan. Han Ziqi's position as heir apparent was not so stable. The overt and covert fighting between the brothers was much more severe than that of Yuwen Dynasty. The dynasty was a struggle between imperial power and clans, but in fact the brothers were still united.

Sang Nan is simply fighting among themselves and consuming each other.

Han Ziqi's eldest brother was irritable and warlike, so he did not agree to the peace talks. He was also the prince who proposed to attack the twelve states. Han Ziqi and his political views had always been at odds, and he was afraid that he would ruin the peace talks. If anyone wanted to thank him, Jue and others died at sea, and it was him.

When Han Ziqi heard about the pirate attack, he wondered if they had teamed up to do it. Although pirates would attack Shuilan City, they were rare because the relationship between Shuilan City and pirates was... very intriguing.

The shadow guard told Xie Jue everything about the conversation between Han Ziqi and Zhizhou. Xie Jue looked calm and silent. In fact, he also doubted whether the Sangnan people were fighting among themselves and deliberately teaming up with pirates to attack. It was all too coincidental. .

"Send a message to Ying Yi and ask him to keep an eye on the eldest prince's every move. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful all the way to the capital."

"Yes!"
