"Lord Gu doesn't have to worry about the safety of the Wuzhou Mansion, it's not a secret, the waiter led the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army to chase the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in the direction of Wuzhou Mansion, with the invincible Great Xia Royal Army and servant army under the command of Shijiao, the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan can't set off any storms at all, besides, the strength behind this prince is only half of the strength of the Wuzhou Mansion Army, and it will not have any impact on Wuzhou Mansion." Xia Yuanxu's eyes flashed with a clear look, as if he didn't understand the intention of Gu Chaoru's words at all, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing an indifferent smile, and said slowly.

"Since the eighteenth prince said so, then the lower official is not good to say anything, but there is one point that the lower official needs to explain to the eighteenth prince, because Xiangzhou Mansion has been under the siege of the White Lotus Sect, therefore, the grain and grass in the city are not abundant, and Xiangzhou Mansion also has its own Xiang Army, although the lower officials are grateful for the high righteousness of the Wuzhou Mansion Xiang Army, but when it comes to the distribution of grain and grass, the lower officials cannot take care of one or the other, so I am afraid that the lower officials will not be able to provide grain and grass to the Wuzhou Mansion Xiang Army in a short time, so I hope that the Eighteen Princes will forgive me." Gu Chaoru heard Xia Yuanxu's words, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, it seems that there must be a food shortage in Wuzhou Mansion, so Shen Yancai transferred such an army, nominally to protect Xiangzhou Mansion, but in fact, to consume the grain and grass of Xiangzhou Mansion, let Xiangzhou Mansion come to support this army, and treat Xiangzhou Mansion as fools.

"Master Gu, this doesn't seem reasonable." Sure enough, after Xia Yuanxu heard Gu Chaoru say that he would not provide grain and grass to the Wuzhou Mansion Army, a gloomy face suddenly appeared, as if Gu Chaoru's words completely broke Xia Yuanxu's plan, and said loudly with a trace of dissatisfaction.

"In any case, the purpose of the Wuzhou Mansion is also for the sake of the Xiangzhou Government, and the Xiangzhou Mansion does not provide them with grain and grass, which is unjustifiable both morally and reasonably."

"The Eighteen Princes, it's not that the lower officials don't talk about this situation, but that Xiangzhou Mansion has been besieged by the White Lotus Sect for so long, and now it's the winter season, and the grain and grass reserves are limited, so it's really impossible to allocate more grain and grass, and I hope the Eighteen Princes will forgive me." Gu Chaoru doesn't care how ugly Xia Yuanxu's face is, although Xia Yuanxu is a prince, but what kind of person Xia Yuanxu was before, Gu Chaoru knows very well in his heart, even if he follows Shen Yan to share some merits, all this is just a wedding dress made by Shen Yan for Xia Yuanxu, Xia Yuanxu is still the gentleman who doesn't know anything in his bones.

In the face of such an empty shell prince who has no future, Gu Chaoru did not take Xia Yuanxu in his eyes at all, if it wasn't for the fact that he had considered the matter of face, and if it wasn't for some face-saving efforts, Gu Chaoru would not have gone out of the city to meet Xia Yuanxu at all, and he could still talk to Xia Yuanxu right now, it was just for others to see, especially for the emperor who was far away in Jinling, otherwise, Gu Chaoru would directly send Xia Yuanxu away, and he was so fake and polite with Xia Yuanxu, with such idle time, Gu Chaoru might as well talk to his favorite concubine about his body structure and philosophy of life.

"Lord Gu said this, so that the prince is really difficult to choose, you know, although the army behind the prince is the Wuzhou Mansion army, but after all, this is the waiter to ask his father to re-organize, although the time is very short, but in terms of the relationship, this army can also be regarded as the servant's soldiers, Lord Gu may not know much about the waiter's attitude towards the children, then there is nothing to say, otherwise, the waiter will be supported by all the royal army of Daxia by virtue of the identity of a literati, once the waiter will go crazy for the sake of the soldiers, Even my father couldn't bear to be too harsh. Xia Yuanxu heard Gu Chaoru's words, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, this old guy dared to reject himself so directly, it was really hateful, but Xia Yuanxu knew in his heart that in this matter, he really couldn't be too angry, so he held back the anger in his heart, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly.

"At the beginning, for the treatment of the Great Xia Royal Army, the waiter dared to go straight to the palace, and in front of his father, let his father personally taste the food of the Great Xia Royal Army, although the waiter was too impulsive in this matter and embarrassed his father, but the father understood the mentality and starting point of the waiter, and generously forgave the waiter, and at the same time said that whoever is sincere and sincere for the sake of the army under the waiter's command, as long as he does not make a mistake of principle, his father will support it."

"Although the waiter was only for the sake of the Daxia Royal Army, but the prince is very clear in his heart about the effort spent by the waiter on the Wuzhou Mansion Army, you must know that the original Wuzhou Mansion Army up to the generals, down to the selection of soldiers, are all selected and assessed by the waiter, although in terms of subordination, the Wuzhou Mansion Army is not the turn of the waiter to govern, but emotionally, the Wuzhou Mansion Army is also an army under the command of the waiter, maybe one day in the future, it may not be impossible for the waiter to recruit the Wuzhou Mansion Army to be appointed in the servant army under his command." When Xia Yuanxu said this, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he met Gu Chaoru's slightly impatient and embarrassed eyes, and said indifferently.

Xia Yuanxu's words are very straightforward and simple, Gu Chaoru understood the intention behind Xia Yuanxu's words as soon as he heard it, as the so-called everything is left in the future, it will be better to see each other in the future, once Gu Chaoru does too much in the matter of grain and grass, it is indirectly equivalent to offending Shen Yan, although Shen Yan will not really get along with Gu Chaoru for this trivial matter, but no one dares to say that Gu Chaoru has no interest relationship with Shen Yan, once it is involved, then Shen Yan will definitely suppress Gu Chaoru mercilessly.

Of course, with Shen Yan's current status, although he can't crush Gu Chaoru, when it comes to his position and influence in the emperor's heart, Shen Yan at this time is far away from Gu Chaoru, although Gu Chaoru was transferred to Huaibei County as the governor by the emperor's decree to relieve the crisis of Huaibei County, but compared to the hot position of the Ministry of Shangshu, the governor of Huaibei County is nothing at all.

Although Gu Chaoru has successfully gained a firm foothold in Huaibei County with his skills and connections during this period of time, Gu Chaoru's strength is not as great as when he was the secretary of the ministry, and on the other hand, Shen Yan, although he is young, he has several positions on his shoulders, whether it is the general soldier of the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army, or the commander of the Jinyi School and the commander of Jinling, or the attendant and cabinet of the Eighteen Princes, these titles are enough to crush Gu Chaoru's strength.

Therefore, once Gu Chaoru really evils Shen Yan, no one can say well, will the young and vigorous Shen Yan directly order the Royal Army and the servant army of Daxia to go to Xiangzhou Mansion, and carry out some purge and coercion on Gu Chaoru under the pretext of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Xiangzhou Mansion, even if Gu Chaoru can hand over the excerpt to the emperor, saying that Shen Yan is not, and even accuse Shen Yan of using the power of the army for his own personal gain, however, this matter is really going to be talked about, not to mention whether the emperor will deal with Shen Yan seriously, based on this alone, his reputation is ruined, If you want to stand in the court again, there is no longer any possibility.

Gu Chaoru will definitely not put an end to his great goal of wanting to stand in the court again for the sake of this trivial matter.

It can be said that although Gu Chaoru did not directly confront Shen Yan, but through the medium of Xia Yuanxu, Gu Chaoru had already lost to Shen Yan in this matter, and the fundamental reason was that Shen Yan had mastered an army that had enough influence on the overall situation.

Thinking of this, a touch of helplessness flashed in Gu Chaoru's eyes, his son lost to Shen Yan was nothing, he actually lost, it seemed that he underestimated Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu.
