"My lord, there is an army outside the city, and from a distance, it seems that the banner is the Great Xia Royal Army." A scout strode up to Chen Zhi'an, who looked proud, and said in a low voice.

"The Great Xia Royal Army?" Hearing the scout's words, Chen Zhixin's pride suddenly shrank a lot, and the pride in his heart that Xia Yuan was lying on the ground and couldn't get up seemed to have weakened a lot.

After Xia Yuanxu agreed to the challenge launched by Chen Zhi'an, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Chen Zhi'an's mouth, Chen Zhi'an's heart knew very well that the strength of these princes was some kung fu that only knew how to embroider his legs, which was completely different from the killing moves he had fought on the battlefield.

Even if he can't kill Xia Yuanxu, however, it is still very easy to let Xia Yuanxu lie down for a few months, as long as he controls some strength and strength when he starts, Xia Yuanxu will definitely fight with himself desperately in order to defend the dignity of the royal family, and he can control Xia Yuanxu's life and death like a cat and mouse, or the degree of injury.

In fact, the fight between Xia Yuanxu and Chen Zhi'an was indeed as Chen Zhi'an thought, the scene was completely under Chen Zhi'an's control, and even Chen Zhi'an felt a little unable to do it several times, not because of how strong his strength was, but because the opponent's strength was too weak, plus Xia Yuanxu was fighting with himself as if he was crazy, and Xia Yuanxu, who had already beaten, was bruised all over his body.

Seeing that Xia Yuanxu's external injuries were not serious, but the internal injuries were repeated, Chen Zhi'an's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of hesitation, and the annoyance in his heart that was slapped by Xia Yuanxu almost disappeared, but Chen Zhian inadvertently found Gu Chaoru's expression, and felt that Gu Chaoru didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Xia Yuanxu's injuries, didn't Gu Chaoru know that he didn't want to let Xia Yuanxu suffer some flesh injuries, but made him unable to get out of bed for half a year.

Although Chen Zhi'an has a trace of doubt and dissatisfaction in his heart, but the reality is stronger than people, in Huaibei County's one-acre and three-point land, he still has to listen to Gu Chaoru, this is not because his official position is half a level lower than Gu Chaoru, but because Gu Chaoru is a popular person around the second prince, and he also betrayed and reluctantly joined the camp of the second prince, in order to make his future life not so miserable, he can only give Gu Chaoru enough face, otherwise, in terms of strength, his own general soldier will have more real power than Gu Chaoru's governor, Why bother to give him face and let yourself be his thug.

Forced to achieve helplessness and the cruelty in Chen Zhi'an's bones, Chen Zhian finally beat Xia Yuanxu to a very serious injury, at least Xia Yuanxu is now lying on the ground and unable to move, as if he only has half a life left.

And when Chen Zhi'an was proud, there were words of the scout in his ears, this scout was arranged by himself to go outside the city early in the morning to inquire about the news, and he was also one of his confidants, if it weren't for some relationships and influences, Chen Zhian would have wanted to transfer this scout to his side for reuse.

"Could it be that Shen Yan suffered a defeat and couldn't hold Wuzhou Mansion, so he retreated to Xiangzhou Mansion?" Chen Zhi'an's heart couldn't help but speculate about why Shen Yan came to Xiangzhou Mansion.

"My lord, looking at the appearance of the Royal Army of Great Xia, it doesn't seem like it has suffered a defeat, but it looks like it is going directly to Xiangzhou Mansion." The scout sorted out what he saw a little, and found that the appearance of the Great Xia Royal Army was not at all as loose as it was after losing the battle.

"Could it be that Shen Yan has been thinking about entering Xiangzhou Mansion for a long time, but there is not enough reason?" This thought suddenly flashed in Chen Zhi'an's mind, but he was quickly driven away by himself, how could it be, how old is Shen Yancai, and how many cities are there, just giving the credit for the Lingnan battle to the Jinling infantry army before shows that Shen Yan has no city government at all, how could such a person think so far?

However, this is not a situation that Shen Yan thought of early on, so what is the explanation for the sudden appearance of the Great Xia Royal Army outside the city? Could it be because Shen Yan transferred away the Wuzhou Mansion Army in exchange for this army?

"How many people are there in the Great Xia Royal Army outside the city?" Chen Zhi'an suddenly thought of a very important question, as long as he knew the strength of the other party, he would be able to roughly know the intentions of the Great Xia Royal Army outside the city.

"There are about five or six thousand people, how many people there are, and the small ones can't get too close, so they can't be counted." The scout's eyes pondered for a moment, and he roughly estimated the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army outside the city according to the formation and queue.

"Five or six thousand?" Chen Zhi'an's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, there were only more than 1,000 Wuzhou Mansion troops stationed in Xiangzhou Mansion, and after being transferred away by Shen Yan, five or six thousand Great Xia Royal Army suddenly appeared outside the city, what kind of reputation is this Shen Yan doing.

"My lord, outside the city, the Great Xia Royal Army is invited to enter the Xiangzhou Mansion?" At this moment, a low-ranking general ran over out of breath.

Almost all the people in Xiangzhou Mansion who have a little bit of identity and face are here today, and the guards at the city gate can only be some people who are not qualified to come here to watch Xia Yuanxu's good show, so they don't have any power to help Chen Zhian and others get ideas, so they can only come over and ask for instructions.

"Although the Great Xia Royal Army is said to be the army of the imperial court, but the Xiangzhou Mansion has just experienced the siege of the White Lotus Sect, and now it is panicked by the Eighteen Princes, this time is indeed not suitable for the Great Xia Royal Army to be stationed, so you will refuse to the general." Chen Zhi'an's eyes flashed with a touch of contemplation, and then a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, looking at the low-level general in front of him, and said loudly.

After Chen Zhi'an finished speaking, his eyes couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Chaoru, and saw Gu Chaoru nodding slightly, Chen Zhian knew that he was right.

"My lord, the last general also told the generals of the Great Xia Royal Army outside the city that this is the case, but the other party said very strongly that their family, oh, that is, Shen Yan, he is the deputy commander of the White Lotus Sect this time, and he has the right to deal with all military and political affairs in Huaibei County, which is the privilege given to Shen Yan by the emperor." A look of helplessness flashed in the eyes of such a low-level general, Chen Zhi'an's words had already been said to the Great Xia Royal Army outside the city several times, but the other party didn't take his words seriously at all, and his attitude was very tough, as if he didn't agree with them to station, they would attack the city.

"What? The emperor gave Shen Yan the privilege of handling all military and political affairs in Huaibei County, is it really fake? The combined power of himself and Lord Gu is not as good as Shen Yan's privilege? Hearing the words of the low-level general, Chen Zhi'an felt very surprised in his heart, such a privilege has appeared less than five times since the Great Xia Dynasty, each time it was because of local turmoil, and finally the turmoil was quelled by the imperial court, but the people's livelihood needs to recuperate, so such a privilege is needed to maintain the operation of such a mechanism temporarily, I didn't expect that such a privilege also appeared in Huaibei County today, and this person turned out to be Shen Yan who he despised at all.

"What? The Great Xia Royal Army actually came to Xiangzhou Mansion, they didn't enter Xiangzhou Mansion after defeating the White Lotus Sect outside the city, why did they enter Xiangzhou Mansion at this time, could it be that he succeeded in chasing and suppressing the White Lotus Sect? However, didn't I hear that the Wuzhou Mansion army in the city was also transferred away by Shen Yan, so the old eighteen would fall for Gu Chaoru's calculations? After Xia Yuanshen heard the conversation between Chen Zhian and the low-level general from a distance, he couldn't help but have a strong surprise in his eyes.

"The adults have finally appeared, and the next chess game can be regarded as gradually reaching the peak." Huang Weiqian stood quietly, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"Shen Yan is the deputy commander, so who is the conductor?" The conversation between Chen Zhi'an, who was far away from Gu Chaoru, and the low-level general, found a very important information from the conversation, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
