Chapter 1297 Worry
Hu Zongxian's eyes also showed anticipation, and the two of them remained silent again, both caught in the imagination of the future.After a while, Hu Zongxian said:

"If I hand over my military power, can you guarantee me a decent retirement?"

"No guarantee!"

"Huh?" Hu Zongxian frowned.

"Ah..." Luo Xin sighed and said, "Originally, I have already negotiated with Gao Gong, and I will guarantee you a decent retirement. But, look at what you have done recently?
The White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan rebelled, so you stand still.That's fine, because you still have excuses and no food.

but……

What did you do to instigate southern officialdom?
They even played together, saying that the south cannot do without you, Hu Zongxian?

Gao Gong and Xu Jie have not said that Daming cannot do without them, and His Majesty has not said that the world cannot do without him, and you, Hu Zongxian, are the only ones capable?
The South can't do without you?
You just want to show that the entire seven southern provinces are in your hands, and use this as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the court.

But, did you know?
You are a threat!You are blackmailing me!
Brother, you have been blinded by desire. Before, His Majesty and the court just thought that you were wronged, so it is not good to force you too much.Therefore, they are sending people to persuade you, hoping that you will take the initiative to surrender military power.However, after you made such a move, His Majesty and the cabinet immediately thought that you had turned your back on it.For those who want to rebel, all dynasties have been vigorous and resolute.

You are in this situation, let me guarantee that you can retire in the body, I can't guarantee it. "

Luo Xin glanced at Hu Zongxian and said, "However, I will try my best."

A wry smile appeared on Hu Zongxian's face, and then he regained his composure and said:
"No, I've come from a long way, you won't just treat me to tea, will you?"

"Okay, let's drink!"

Luo Xin raised his voice and shouted outside the door: "Daqing, prepare the food and wine."

"I, sir."

Lu Daqing and Hu Zongxian's guards outside breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them can drink, so they shouldn't fight, right?
Hu Zongxian's guards were really afraid that Luo Xin would arrest Hu Zongxian on the spot, and Lu Daqing was also afraid that Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian would conflict. Although Yu Dayou seemed to have promised Luo Xin to be loyal to the court, everything was according to Luo Xin.

but……

where is this?
This is the southeast, Hu Zongxian's territory, and this navy is also Hu Zongxian's soldiers. Who knows, will these soldiers listen to Luo Xin or Hu Zongxian?

At that time, don't arrest Hu Zongxian, but Hu Zongxian arrested Luo Xin.

Now hearing that Luo Xin is going to hold a banquet, this is at least good news, and it is a positive development.

The food and drink were served quickly, and both parties outside listened to the movement in the room with their ears up. When they heard Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian's laughter coming from inside, both parties felt relieved, but also felt strange.

Who persuaded whom?

Who actually convinced whom, no one knows.No one knew that Hu Zongxian had left.

Hu Zongxian left drunk, and Luo Xin personally delivered it outside the camp.Even Luo Xin didn't know if he had persuaded Hu Zongxian, but he knew that he had not been persuaded by Hu Zongxian.

Luo Zhi appeared behind Luo Xin, watched Hu Zongxian's back gradually disappear into the night, and said softly:
"No, why not keep Hu Zongxian?"

"That would be too drastic. Even if Hu Zongxian is successfully retained, there will be immediate turmoil in the south, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Then... have you persuaded Hu Zongxian?"

"I don't know." Luo Xin shook his head, then sighed again.

"Then what do you think Hu Zongxian will do next?" Luo Zhi's tone was full of worry, and Yu Dayou behind Luo Xin was also concerned.

"Send troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan."

"Really?" Both Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou's eyes lit up.

Luo Xin sighed again and said, "Hu Zongxian has his ideals. When he came to the south, he wanted to exterminate the Japanese pirates and give the south a bright future. Now that the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, his ideals will not let him watch the south be destroyed by Bailian. Jiao and Zhang Daoyuan are in a mess, in essence, Hu Zongxian is a good official for the country and the people."

Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just..." Luo Xin looked up at the night sky, a cloud covered the bright moon.

"Just what?" Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou showed a trace of nervousness on their faces.

"It depends on how far he has been exterminated."

Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou were silent. They both knew very well at this moment that with Hu Zongxian's ability and the 45 army, if they wanted to wipe out the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, there would be no problem at all, and the process would be very fast.

If Hu Zongxian wiped out the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan in a short period of time, it means that Hu Zongxian really gave up his position, was going to hand over his military power, and was dismissed and returned to the field.

but……

If Hu Zongxian only fought halfway, and then formed a stalemate with the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, then it would be self-respect.

"Will he raise Kou to respect himself?"

Luo Zhi is Luo Xin's uncle, and at this time there is only one more Yu Dayou, so he didn't have any scruples at all, and asked directly.Yu Dayou also looked at Luo Xin nervously. Although he had already expressed his heart, he obeyed Luo Xin's instructions.However, he also didn't want to be an enemy of Hu Zongxian, let alone the two of them would meet on the battlefield one day.

"I hope he won't be so stupid!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "The so-called raising Kou's self-respect must be that Kou is important enough, just the current White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan?

Ha ha……

If Hu Zongxian really went that way, the imperial court would take him and the rebels away with a thunderbolt. "

"Of course..." Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Hu Zongxian can also take the road of rebellion in the end, but it is also the road of self-destruction.

Ugh……

The people are suffering! "

Luo Xin stopped talking, turned around and walked towards Daying, Yu Dayou and Luo Zhi silently followed behind.

At this time, the sky was just the darkness before dawn.

Luo Xin and Luo Zhi sat in the room, the light was very dim.Luo Zhi's face looked very solemn, and Luo Xin was also frowning slightly, thinking about the situation in the whole south, what Hu Zongxian would do, and how he would deal with it.

"No weapon!"

Hearing Luo Zhi's voice, he raised his head and saw Luo Zhi's tangled and hesitant expression, and said:
"what's up?"

Luo Zhi stood up, came to the door, poked his head out, saw Lu Daqing, and said:

"Daqing, don't let anyone approach you."

"Yes!"

Luo Zhi shrank back, closed the door again, sat down in his seat, and said in a low voice:
"No, you have done much more than Hu Zongxian by going south and north. Now that Hu Zongxian is like this, will you follow in Hu Zongxian's footsteps in the future?"
