While the battle for Houqiu was going on, the entire East China Sea fell into calm.

Chen Deng was stationed in Houqiu City waiting for Mi Fang, and Zang Ba and the others suddenly died down.

The patriarchs of the major families in the East China Sea suddenly changed from taking refuge in Taishan thieves to having an ambiguous attitude, and they closed their doors one after another, and warned their families not to go out, nor to move around at will, and not to make friends with all forces.

Although the Donghai clan should be close to the army led by the Chen family and the Mi family, the Taishan thieves dare not move lightly, otherwise, the Taishan thieves will not care about killing people!

Coupled with the fanning of the remnants of the Cao family, it is still unknown who will kill the deer in the East China Sea, and the uncertainty of the situation makes everyone dare not bet easily.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to wait and see, and it is safer to wait until the two sides begin to divide the winners and losers.

After all, at the moment, the Taishan thieves still need to use them, and they will not loot at will, and Tao Qian has always been benevolent, even if he wins in the future, he will not kill them all.

There have always been frequent thieves in the East China Sea, and these families have long had a set of ways to deal with it.

"Old Sun, tell me about your plans." Zang Ba and Sun Guan sat opposite each other, and Zang Ba asked casually.

"The power of the Donghai family is intricate and deep-rooted, and if we want to stabilize the Donghai in a short period of time, we can only rely on their strength. Now most of the forces in the East China Sea are waiting to see because Tao Qian sent troops to fight, waiting for a situation to appear in their favor, as long as we defeat Chen Deng, they will definitely not disobey us. It's just ......," Sun Guan said and paused.

The subjugation of the East China Sea is actually the subjugation of these forces, although these forces are a major hidden disease for the ruler, but for now, they are the foundation for rapid stability. What the people of Mount Tai need is to quickly settle down the East China Sea.

"Just what?" Zang Ba straightened up and asked.

"Why do we want to change our normal state and occupy this East China Sea country?" Sun Guan whispered with a little confusion.

After all, the Taishan thieves are just a loose alliance of bandits, it is nothing to occupy the mountain as the king, and Xuzhou Tao Qian will not make a big move to fight with them, but now that he is capturing the city, Xuzhou will not easily stop, and when the time comes, can he and others still win?

"What does Lao Sun think of this world?" Zang Ba asked rhetorically.

"It's chaotic...... And it will be even more messy in the future! Sun Guan was a little confused, but he still replied.

"That Tao Qian is old, not a person who has achieved great things, now we have to find a qualification for the future!" Zang Ba sighed and said.

"The East China Sea and even Langya are located in a remote area, in which the forces are constantly pouring, now Cao Bao is dead, Xuzhou soldiers have not yet recovered, it is a good time to occupy! As long as we can block this attack, then these two places will fall into our hands, and no matter how turbulent the world is, our reputation as a rogue will no longer be a burden! ”

A hint of yearning flashed in Zang Ba's expression.

Speaking of which, the Zang family is also a famous family, and Zang Ba is not satisfied with his current identity.

……

Guangling City.

Although most of what Zang Ba said to Chen Deng was false, Guangling City was still not calm.

The remnants of the Cao family made some trouble from time to time, and Sun Jian in the south also prepared his army!

As the de facto controller of Guangling City, the Chen family was like a great enemy, and everyone was extremely nervous, even those subordinates and maidservants.

At present, Chen Deng has left with a small half of the defenders, and the current strength is insufficient, coupled with the constant threat of Cao Bao's descendants, if Sun Jian comes to attack, he may not be able to hold it!

If Guangling is lost, then ......

With the strong threat brought by Sun Jian, no one in the Chen Mansion knows what his future will be, but among them, there is one exception, that is, Chen Gui Chen Hanyu, as the contemporary patriarch of the Chen family and the most concerned about interests, he is unusually calm, just looking at the writing and writing in the mansion every day, and never mentioning the outside affairs.

"Sir...... Master! The butler stumbled into the study.

"What's so flustered?" Chen Gui was still practicing his own words, and he didn't raise his head.

"Sun Wentai is visiting with his eldest son Sun Bofu!"

"Oh?" The pen in Chen Gui's hand drew a black line on the paper.

These days, he doesn't ask about the situation outside, and he can practice reading with peace of mind, but the current power of the Chen family has poured most of his life's efforts, how can he really let it go. All kinds of plans were not told in his heart, but Sun Jian's sudden visit completely disrupted Chen Gui's plan.

"This tiger dared to come in private...... Aren't you afraid of me doing it? Chen Gui muttered secretly.

"Who else knows?" Chen Gui hurriedly asked.

"Except for the villain, no one knows the identity of their father and son!" The butler said respectfully. Obviously, this butler is also an old fox, and he understands the intrigue between various forces very well.

"Excellent! Take me to meet them! Chen Gui hurriedly cleaned up and rushed to the hall.

Before the people arrived, Chen Gui noticed that there was a chaotic sound in the living room, and several subordinates rushed to this side, with panicked looks on their faces.

"Master, it's not good, something is wrong!"

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Gui's face was grim, and he asked in a cold voice.

"Little lady...... She stabbed the guest! ”

"What!" Chen Gui has seen countless winds, and his face has changed several times at this moment. Your own little daughter? Could it be that she recognized Sun Jian's father and son?

However, at the moment, the Sun family has not done anything that is not good for the Chen family, what reason does she have to do it?

"You quickly find out who instigated it, and after finding out, ...... directly" Chen Gui hurriedly called the housekeeper and made a throat-cutting gesture and commanded.

Chen Gui sensitively discovered that this was a conspiracy!

"Bo Fu, how's it going?" Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce with a painful heart, and asked in a trembling voice.

Sun Ce was sticking two weapons, a dagger and a sword.

The dagger belonged to the Chen family's lady, while the sword belonged to Sun Jian.

No one could have imagined that this lady of the Chen family would suddenly attack and pull out a hidden dagger to assassinate.

But fortunately, Sun Ce reacted in time and pushed Sun Jian away, but the dagger stabbed Sun Ce.

And the sword was Sun Jian's, the warrior's instinctive reaction was to fight back, and similarly, Sun Jian didn't expect that his son would block this sword for the Chen family's lady.

Sun Ce made a miracle to block his father's sword for the little lady of the Chen family, just because Sun Ce felt that she was like his little sister.

"Father, I'm fine, I didn't hit the point." Sun Ce said with a smile on his face.

"Chen family!" Sun Jian read a sentence heavily, and his tone was indescribably harsh.

Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of the lady of the Chen family who was sitting on the side, and then looked at the eldest son he was proud of, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
