At the door of Xu Chen's house, when Tang Mengqiu wanted to push the door and re-enter.

Suddenly there was a voice from behind.

"Princess, you're still here. ”

The vigorous voice fell, and the Protector walked in.

"Lord Protector. Tang Mengqiu suddenly froze and didn't dare to push the door again.

"Why don't you go in?" said the Protector.

"No, no, the Protector came to see Xu Chen?" Tang Mengqiu's eyes dodged, his heart beat faster, he hadn't gone in yet, if he was seen by the Protector, it would be really embarrassing.

The Protector shook his head: "No, I'm here to find you, the Qingteng Hall has gathered a large number of old ministers and generals to discuss my plan after the Tang Dynasty, this is not missing you." ”

"Let's go, let's go. ”

Tang Mengqiu hurriedly turned around and walked down the steps in front of Xu Chen's room.

"Not going in?" Protector glanced at Xu Chen's room.

"No, state affairs are important, let's go. ”

Tang Mengqiu had a feeling of being a thief, and just wanted to take the protector out of here as soon as possible.

"Okay, then I'll come to visit Xu Chen later. The Lord Protector nodded and walked out.

When Tang Mengqiu, who was in front, walked to the courtyard gate, he stopped again, turned back to the maid Xiaoying, and said, "Xiaoying, you go in for me to take care of Xu Gongzi, remember what I said before." ”

"Ah, I ......" Xiao Ying's face was even more embarrassed.

Tang Mengqiu didn't give her a chance to refuse, and turned around to leave.

In the same place, only Xiaoying was left alone, she stayed outside the door and wandered, wanting to leave, but the princess did not dare to disobey it, and when she entered, she was filled with the previous shyness in her heart, and it was difficult for her to fall.

While she was wandering.

Squeak.

The door opened, Bai Lingxi walked out angrily, looked out and said, "Princess Tang is gone?"

Xiao Ying, who was wandering, was startled by the sudden sound of opening the door, and seeing that it was Bai Lingxi, her mood calmed down a little: "The princess has left beforehand." ”

"You guys came here just now......" Bai Lingxi looked at Xiao Ying hesitantly.

Xiao Ying smiled awkwardly: "That's the case, the princess asked me to come over to take care of Gongzi Xu." ”

"There's already me here, what does she mean by letting you come, she's going to ...... Drive me away?" Bai Lingxi's eyes showed anger, and there was anger in his heart, and his towering chest rose and fell violently.

"No, no, just let me help you share the burden, the two of you take care of it more carefully. ”

Xiao Ying hurriedly explained that Bai Lingxi was the closest person to Xu Chen, and if Bai Lingxi was driven away, it would be equivalent to directly offending Xu Chen, how could Tang Mengqiu do this kind of thing.

"What is sharing, she obviously sent you to ......"

Bai Lingxi was annoyed, and after seeing Xiao Ying's embarrassed face, she hid her words back in her heart, and said, "Forget it, you should also be forced to do so, she is a princess, and we dare not disobey her orders, come in." ”

With annoyance, Bai Lingxi let Xiao Ying into the room, feeling very unwilling and helpless.

After Xiao Ying entered the house, she secretly glanced at Xu Chen, and saw that Xu Chen had been covered with a quilt by Bai Lingxi, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Now Xu Chen looked like he was still in a coma from the outside, but his whole body was blooming with a faint layer of gold and blue light, and the two lights intersected, which looked extremely mysterious.

His current situation is similar to a situation of metamorphosis into a butterfly, falling into dormancy because of the digestion of Xuanjie True Qi, and when he wakes up, it is the time when the transformation occurs.

......

In the Imperial Palace.

A group of ministers stood, discussing in groups.

"The princess has arrived. ”

With a notification, these people hurriedly dispersed, standing one by one according to their official positions, waiting for Tang Mengqiu's arrival.

"Quickly give the ministers a seat, it's not my father and the emperor who are coming, what are you doing standing there. Tang Mengqiu smiled kindly after coming in, and sat in front with the Protector.

"Greetings to the princess. ”

The minister saluted and sat down.

"Well, how are you discussing, do you have any ideas?" Tang Mengqiu changed back into a set of elegant clothes, which looked particularly dignified at the moment, and he had an aura that suppressed everyone while sitting in the arena.

"Princess Qiyu, I advocate leading the troops immediately, now that the Red Kingdom has been damaged, we can further expand this advantage by striking while the iron is hot. ”

A frowning minister said.

Tang Mengqiu nodded, noncommittal, and looked at the others.

"Princess, I think it's better for us to win steadily, my Datang has all the benefits given by Gongzi Xu, in the same time, we will definitely develop faster than Chiguo, so we can also expand our advantages, and we will not be bloodless. ”

Someone said.

Tang Mengqiu asked the others again, and then most of them supported the second option.

In the end, Tang Mengqiu said: "In fact, Xu Gongzi and our meaning are also inclined to the second type, to win in stability, what we lack most at present is to have time to develop, now that we have time, we naturally have to use it quickly, or don't make extraneous branches." ”

"Not bad. ”

Most of the ministers in the field agreed, and when the other faction saw this, they could only extinguish their thoughts and nod obediently.

"Then since it is to win in stability, there should also be a battle plan for winning in stability, how long should we be stable, and when is the best time to strike?"

Someone asked.

The Lord Protector muttered at this moment: "Good question, I have thought about this question...... The Red Kingdom has suffered a big loss now, and they are afraid of the benefits that Xu Chen has given us, and they must also know that the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for them, so the Red Kingdom should have some small moves, and it is impossible for us to develop in peace and stability. ”

"It's inevitable, so ......"

Everyone looked at the Lord Protector and motioned to continue.

Protector nodded and said, "So, I think stability is inevitable, but the first time you can't be silent for too long, you have to give them a heavy blow again before the Red Kingdom makes a move." ”

"How to thump?"

"The first target, of course, is to recover the South China Sea!" said the Protector firmly.

"Recovering the South China Sea is indeed a top priority!"

"Well, the South China Sea connects my Tang Dynasty and the Red Kingdom, it is a key point between the two sides, whoever gets it can take the initiative, and the South China Sea must be recovered. ”

Everyone nodded.

Whether it is war or stability, the lost South China Sea must be recovered, and this is a very obvious thing that must be done.

"But how to recover, now the kings harbored in the South China Sea are gathered with great power, the number of soldiers, horses and generals is equivalent to half of my Tang Dynasty, and they have the support of the Red Kingdom behind them, it is difficult to recover. ”

"The Red Kingdom behind them was handed over to the Yue Kingdom, and our main consideration was how to defeat those kings in the South China Sea. ”

The people's deliberations grew more and more enthusiastic.

In this kind of voice, a voice suddenly sounded: "This, do we want to ask Xu Gongzi to discuss, after all, the South China Sea is Xu Gongzi's hometown, and the kings of the South China Sea are also headed by the head snake of the South China Sea at this moment, Zhennan King is Xu Gongzi's father, we want to conquer the South China Sea, which is equivalent to conquest of Xu Gongzi's father." ”
