Zhou Tianqi saw that Zhou Chang'an's eyes were full of worry when he looked at himself and Lin Wan, and he was indeed really concerned about their safety, so he couldn't help but soften in his heart, and slowly persuaded: "Father, don't worry, we will protect ourselves, after so many things, we are no longer ignorant young people." ”

Zhou Changan looked at Zhou Tianqi's gaze flashed with a hint of relief, nodded appreciatively, and said: "Okay, you are all my good sons and daughters! ”

Zhou Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Father, are you talking about the Lu family?"

Zhou Changan sighed lightly, nodded, and said: "In the past few decades, starting from the first emperor, until now, the Lu family has always held great power, controlled half of the Great Feudal Kingdom, and even held heavy troops. But they are not satisfied, and always try to interfere in the government's affairs, and use various means to control or change my will. I have also been trying to weaken the power of the Lu family and build up my own strength to compete with them, but with little success. Now, their Lu family has even more inch, challenging my imperial power, and even privately colluding with Nanyue to make such a marriage contract. I still have unspeakable suffering, and I have to be led by the nose by them. ”

Looking at Zhou Changan, who seemed to have suddenly aged ten years old, Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan's hearts were not good. Although Zhou Changan also has a lot of hate, he is very pitiful at the moment. Moreover, the hateful things he once did seemed to be a last resort, and they were forgivable.

Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi glanced at each other, their eyes full of softness and compassion.

As a king, Zhou Changan has never shown such a vulnerable side in front of others, and he never thought that he would open his heart in front of his two children. Maybe in his heart, these two children are gone, and they may never see each other again. Maybe in his heart, the Great Seal has exhausted its numbers, and the Great Seal Country, which has been prosperous for nearly a hundred years, is finally going to lose in his own hands, so he finally can't help but talk about it. Perhaps, now all the hopes of the Great Feudal Kingdom are in these two children, so Zhou Changan wants to let them know their regrets and expectations.

Lin Wan's heart turned back and forth, and her feelings for Zhou Changan were very complicated, and she believed that Zhou Changan's feelings at this moment were sincere. However, when she and Zhou Tianqi needed help in Xiling Kingdom, she didn't dare to ask Zhou Changan for help, nor did she dare to ask Zhou Changan to send reinforcements. This kind of weak family relationship, this fatal crisis of trust, made Lin Wan feel cold.

However, Lin Wandu had already calculated that there were Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er in Fujian City, and Zhou Changying's garrison in Fuzhou County, so she didn't need to ask Zhou Changan for help at all.

As for Zhou Tianqi, although he didn't say it, why did he have to separate from Lin Wanbing, and why couldn't he accompany Lin Wan to Xiling Kingdom. However, Lin Wan had already guessed that Zhou Tianqi must be going to defend Fengnan City.

No matter whether Zhou Changan will agree to cede Fengnancheng to Nanyue, he will not give up Fengnancheng, and he will not let a single soldier of Nanyue enter Fengnancheng. Although there is Zhao Fengwu, the general of Pingnan, Zhao Fengwu will not hand over Fengnancheng to others, but if Zhao Fengwu does not obey the order, he will be handled, so that the Zhao family and the families related to the Zhao family are in danger of extinction, including Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er who are far away in Fujian. At that time, all the layouts of him and Lin Wan would be in vain.

Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan tacitly understood each other's intentions. He thought for a while and said, "Father, my son asks to leave in three days, and I ask my father to give an order." ”

Zhou Changan nodded and said, "Okay, I will allow you to personally order the three thousand Yulin army to go to Xiling with you, and you will go to Commander Feng tomorrow to lead the troops, everything is ready, and we will set off in three days." ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law obeys the order!" Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan received the order in unison, and then saluted Zhou Chang'an and said goodbye, "Erchen retires." ”

Zhou Changan smiled and nodded, looked at Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan, his eyes were full of love, and said softly: "Go, have a good trip!"

Zhou Tianqi turned around and walked outside the hall, Lin Wango stopped, and said to Zhou Changan with some hesitation: "Father, the son has one more thing to ask for." ”

Zhou Changan nodded and responded: "Wan'er has any needs, just say, I will definitely try my best to meet your requirements." ”

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Father, Wan'er would like to ask you to allow Wan'er's cousin Jing and cousin-in-law to go to Fujian with us. The road is far away, so we can take care of it when we walk together, and the road will not be too lonely. Father, what do you say?"

Zhou Changan laughed and said, "After all, he is still a child, when is it, he is still thinking about playing." Okay, I'll give you permission. ”

"Thank you for your father's grace!

Out of the Qinzheng Palace, it was the end of the day, and Zhou Tianqi and Gonggong Qi were waiting for Lin Wan outside the hall. Then, Gonggong Qi led Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan and walked out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan each got into their own carriages and said goodbye to Duke Qi. Then, Zhou Tianqi first sent Lin Wan back to Lin Xiang's Mansion, and then returned to the Seven Princes' Mansion.

However, no one knew that only Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu and the carriage returned to the Seven Princes' Mansion.

This night, Zhou Tianqi lay on the big bed of Wanxin Pavilion with Lin Wan in his arms, and told Lin Wan all his plans and arrangements made in advance.

Since Zhou Tianqi knew the relationship between Lu Manting and Nanyue Kingdom, and knew that Lan Ziheng planned to marry Lu Manting, he had already planned to separate from Lin Wanbing, and Lin Wan went to Xiling Kingdom to solve the crisis in Xiling Kingdom. And he himself will quietly take the Feng family army to Fengnan City in case of emergency.

And today, after learning that the Nanyue Kingdom wanted to force Zhou Changan to hand over the Fengnan City, he was even more sure that he had to defend the Fengnan City. This is the key to the smooth progress of everything, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Great Feudal State can stand tall.

Zhou Tianqi has made all the arrangements to ensure that Lin Wan's journey to Xiling Kingdom will not be in any danger, and someone has been arranged to pick him up in Xiling Kingdom, which should be foolproof. More importantly, he believed in Lin Wan's ability, even without his arrangements, Lin Wan would definitely not let him worry. In his heart, Lin Wan is so smart and capable, so brave and powerful, a comrade-in-arms who can fight side by side with him, not a weak woman who needs his protection everywhere.

Lin Wan understood Zhou Tianqi's thoughts, but her heart was very complicated, she not only hoped that Zhou Tianqi believed in her ability, but also hoped that she was the weak woman who was cared for by men.
