His Majesty's movements were still a bit slow.

At least Chen Anning thinks so.

From the siege of Baihua City last year, the problem of Nanhuang City has begun to emerge.

At that time, after the Holy Majesty learned about this matter, why didn't he conduct a thorough investigation of Nanhuang City immediately, instead, he didn't have the idea of ​​attacking Nanhuang City until today this year?

Not only Chen Anning thought so, Luo Qingfeng was also quite puzzled.

Eunuch Liu seemed to see that the two were confused, so he said calmly: "Although Nanhuang City is in a vital position, the degree of harm is extremely limited. If they intend to infiltrate, they will definitely pass through this Hundred Flowers City."

"The Holy Majesty naturally trusts Lord Luo and Shaofu Chen. Now it seems that Nanhuang City has not shown any signs of infiltration. It is also thanks to the two stationed here. This is a great achievement."

What Eunuch Liu said was mysterious.

In fact, the meaning is already very clear——

If Nanhuang City wants to make trouble, it must pass through Baihua City.

In Baihua City, Wanmo Liyuan, Youdao Jianshan, and Luo Qingfeng, the city lord, were there, so they naturally couldn't make trouble.

That's why it had been left untreated before, thinking that Nanhuang City could not pose a threat.

however.

Chen Anning's mouth twitched after hearing this.

Eunuch Liu's words, to a certain extent, also represent the meaning of the Holy Majesty.

Naturally, it is impossible for this powerful retired man who followed His Majesty not to understand His Majesty's intentions.

Chen Anning lowered her eyelids slightly, probably because she understood that the Holy Majesty's action had another meaning.

[If Nanhuang City really intends to cause trouble, Baihua City will inevitably start a war with Nanhuang City and Lihuo behind it]

【This is obviously a very good thing for the Holy Majesty—if Li Huo can be repelled by Chen Anning and others, or if Chen Anning's force is reduced due to Li Huo's strong entry... No matter how you look at it, It is a good thing for the Holy One]

Adjust the time back to a year ago, during the siege of Baihua City.

If Chen Anning's guess was correct, then the Holy Majesty still regarded himself as a thorn in the side.

At that time, the civil strife in the imperial city hadn't happened yet, Chen Anning hadn't entered the imperial city with Xiao Nianqing at that time, and the sage didn't seem to have a clear understanding of the identity of his wife.

All I know is that Chen Anning has researched a batch of brand new instruments that may bring about reform.

So he deliberately kept Nanhuang City on purpose, as if he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

after that.

After the civil strife in the imperial city, the Holy One knew that Chen Anning was surrounded by Wan Mo Li Yuan and Dao Jian Mountain.

At that time, he still didn't choose to take back Nanhuang City. This was because of the reason Eunuch Liu just said - he was very relieved of Chen Anning's forces.

……

……

Back to the present.

Chen Anning stared at Eunuch Liu with complicated eyes.

To be precise, he was also looking at the terrifying sage behind Eunuch Liu.

Now the dragon seal has been handed over to Luo Qingfeng, in a sense, it is also handed over to Chen Anning.

Once Nanhuang City is successfully recovered, it means that Chen Anning will gain another city from now on.

Sitting on two cities, it controls the southern border area.

For an independent force, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?

Is the holy majesty really so assured that he will not rebel?

Although Lao Chen really didn't mean to rebel.

At least for now, he has no idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor.

It's just that the Holy Majesty's behavior is too bold in Chen Anning's view.

"Commander Luo, what do you think?" Seeing that the two of them were suddenly silent, Eunuch Liu took the initiative to ask, "When will you decide to raise your troops?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingfeng pondered for a while.

After contemplating for a certain period of time, he finally said: "Thank you for your great love, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Eunuch Liu nodded in satisfaction: "Then I will leave this matter to Commander Luo and Shaofu Chen."

Luo Qingfeng saluted: "I obey the order."

Chen Anning also saluted: "I obey the order."

Finished.

The majesty overflowing from Eunuch Liu's body has just subsided a bit.

If he had been the only confidant around the Holy One just now, all his words would represent that Great Holy One.

So now he is just an elderly father-in-law, with a very kind demeanor and appearance.

"That's the end of the business, and it's almost time for me to go."

He heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Chen Anning and Luo Qingfeng somewhat complicatedly.

Chen Anning stood up and said to Eunuch Liu, "Would you like to stay for a cup of tea?"

"No." Eunuch Liu shook his head and smiled wryly: "If Xuehai and the others bump into him, it will probably be very troublesome."

If he was the owner of Ghost Valley who was on the run, he would be in serious trouble if he was recognized.

Therefore, he didn't want to stay here for a long time, and it would be a good thing to leave immediately.

Chen Anning smiled and said, "In fact, everyone understands your intentions."

"So what if you understand? The result is still the same."

With these words, Eunuch Liu even showed a bit of resentment on his face.

The object of resentment is naturally Chen An Ning in front of him.

He really deserves to be Chen Shaofu, he has the ability to attract people by playing tricks, but he never thought that his relatives and friends around him also have the ability to lead people into a trap...

Eunuch Liu pondered for a moment, and could only look deeply at Chen Anning: "I hope Young Master Chen can treat them well."

It is self-explanatory who he refers to by "they".

Chen Anning raised his head and gave Liu Gonggong a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, if you come to me, you are all your own."

"hope so."

Eunuch Liu turned around and walked towards the gate of the Chen family mansion.

crunch.

He pushed the door open, and the slightly thin figure stood outside the door.

The cold wind blew past the door, scattering the soft snow that lay like white jade bricks on the ground.

Eunuch Liu seemed to have thought of something, and before leaving, he said another sentence:

"Chen Shaofu, be careful to the north."

"North?" Chen Anning frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Eunuch Liu didn't say anything, but chose to leave silently.

In the end, only Chen Anning and Luo Qingfeng were left, still meditating in the hall.

north.

Chen Anning walked through the gate, went outside, and looked to the north.

There is still only a dark sky and the falling snow that is gradually falling.

Other than that, nothing else.

He only felt a little weird in his heart, after all, Eunuch Liu's words were unclear, and he had no clues to judge.

And now there is another thing.

"Old Luo, what do you think?"

Back in the house, Chen Anning asked Luo Qingfeng: "The Holy Majesty seems to want to attack Nanhuang City."

"This is normal."

Luo Qingfeng didn't notice anything wrong: "The southern desert city has been in chaos for a long time, and it's time to eradicate it, otherwise the southern frontier will always fall into the hands of the Lihuo Dynasty, which will be detrimental to Dalie after all."

"That's right, but there's one more problem."

"what is the problem?"

"Why did you choose? Or...why did you choose us?"

Very strange.

Chen Anning felt that this was really strange.

Baihua City is not the only city that is adjacent to Nanhuang City.

Why did you choose Hundred Flowers City?

think carefully.

Handing over the Southern Frontier Commander Jade Seal to Baihua City will only continue to expand Chen Anning's sphere of influence.

Handing over to other city lords can not only avoid this matter, but also artificially create a city with [power slightly greater than Hundred Flowers City], so as to limit the expansion and development of Chen Anning's power to a certain extent.

For the Holy One, it should kill two birds with one stone.

Why did you choose Hundred Flowers City instead?

It can't be because the Holy One really trusts Luo Qingfeng, right?

Or Luo Qingfeng is actually the illegitimate son of the Holy Majesty, and this is planning to pass on the throne!

... makes sense!

Duan Jianxue can be the fifth princess.
