Outside the main hall, Sima Xin and a group of officials walked out one after another.

He glanced back slightly, his brow furrowed.

Several Yingzhou officials led by him couldn't help but lean forward at this moment, and the middle-aged man who had opened his mouth in the main hall before lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Sima, what should I do now?" ”

"Yes! The Southwest Water Division is extremely powerful, and I heard that in the battle just now, the Lotus Water Division was defeated. ”

Sima Xin said: "Don't talk nonsense about uncertain things, hasn't the king already returned?" The Southwest Navy Division did not pursue, where did the rumors come from. ”

Although the Lotus Sailor was very embarrassed when he landed on the island, so far, he has not seen the Southwest Sailor pursue.

Therefore, the group is willing to believe that the Lotus Water Master has won.

"Lord Sima, it's true, we have water ghosts nearby to monitor the movements of the Southwest Water Division, the Lotus Water Division is indeed defeated, not only that, but there is almost no power to fight back, and the red-clothed cannon of the Southwest Water Division is infinitely powerful."

"As for why they didn't pursue, it's not clear, but they didn't leave, maybe they came soon."

“……”

"Not bad! The power of the red-coated cannon is endless, and I heard that in Jiangnan, the Lotus Water Division has been defeated once. ”

"Really? That's good! ”

These officials were all local officials of Yingzhou before, and when Zhu Kang invaded, they were either bribed or succumbed to the powerful combat power of the Lotus Water Division, and had to surrender.

And these people, led by Sima Xin, huddled together to keep warm.

Just experienced a big change, and now the more powerful Southwest Water Division is coming, these people are naturally extremely flustered, for them, every big change is a huge crisis, and one careless is to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

Sima Xin is no exception, although he is currently the strongest local force in Yingzhou, but he is still too much worse than the Lotus Water Master.

Moreover, during this time, the Lotus Water Master has penetrated Yingzhou in all aspects, and is disintegrating his strength little by little.

There was nothing he could do about it.

"Don't scare yourself, since the Southwest Water Division did not attack, it means that everything is not as bad as imagined, and the king has returned, so there will naturally be a countermeasure, so let's disperse!"

Sima Xin sent everyone away, and then turned around and returned to his residence.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, "I've seen the master." ”

Sima Xin nodded and went straight into the study.

The housekeeper followed all the way, and after Sima Xin sat down, he said: "Master, there is news, the Lotus Sailor has been defeated, and more than half of the warships have been damaged. ”

"So much?"

A look of horror flashed in Sima Xin's eyes.

Looking at the appearance of the Lotus Water Master landing on the island, he had already guessed that the Lotus Water Master was defeated, because if he really won, even if he won a miserable victory, Zhu Kang's face would not be so ugly.

But despite this, he still didn't expect that it would be so tragic that the Lotus Sailor warship would lose more than half, which is simply amazing!

What is the origin of this Southwest Water Division, it is so powerful.

The housekeeper said: "The Southwest Sailor is a sailor battalion established by the famous Qingfeng Shixian from the dynasty, and the red-coated cannon was also invented by him......"

The butler recounted what he had learned.

Although they know almost zero about the Southwest Water Division, they are no strangers to the name Qingfeng Shixian.

After all, the reputation of the great talent has been spread for a long time, although Yingzhou Island is isolated from the world, but there are occasional merchant ships, but the establishment of the Southwest Naval Division is still short, and before that, the first war has not been started in the real sense, so it is not known to outsiders.

Of course, this is clearly different now.

With these two battles, the prestige of the Southwest Water Division is believed to be spread all over the world.

A flash of surprise also flashed in Sima Xin's eyes, "It's him?" ”

The butler asked, "Master, what shall we do now?" The combat power of the Southwest Water Division is beyond belief, the Lotus Water Division is not an opponent at all, and Zhu Kang's entry into the Central Plains has also become an extravagant hope, isn't what we did in vain? ”

The corner of Sima Xin's eyes twitched violently when he heard this.

The reason why he agreed to cooperate with Zhu Kang was because the other party sent people to the island and coerced him, and he could only die if he didn't agree.

The second is that the other party told him that the purpose of the Lotus Water Master is to enter the Central Plains, and Yingzhou is just a springboard, where the soldiers and granaries are located, and the Lotus Water Master will not stay here for a long time, and after entering the Central Plains with the help of Yingzhou, he will be named the king of Yingzhou.

It will also enhance Yingzhou's competitiveness in all aspects, from agriculture to military industry.

During this time, what the other party did was indeed the same, Yingzhou has been greatly improved in all aspects, potatoes and sweet potatoes have been planted in a large area, which has solved the food problem on the island, and the construction of Zhuge crossbows and warships has also improved Yingzhou's military strength.

In addition, Zhu Kang himself is indeed rarely in Yingzhou, and he can see that the other party's ambition is indeed not in Yingzhou.

In view of this, Sima Xincai spared no effort to cooperate with the other party.

Because he understands that if Zhu Kang succeeds in entering the Central Plains, then no one will be able to compete with the king of Yingzhou.

But who would have thought that the Southwest Water Division would be killed halfway.

And in front of the lotus water master, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is crushed in all directions, so what can be said about entering the Central Plains, but not being able to enter the Central Plains, everything is obviously in vain.

Sima Xin's eyes were full of unwillingness.

But no one is strong in the situation, but he has no way at all.

The housekeeper said again at this time: "By the way, master, the puppet prince is indeed gone, the old slave has been searched all over, and there is no trace of him, and it is likely that he has left Yingzhou." ”

Sima Xin was stunned for a moment, "Leaving Yingzhou?" ”

"Where can he go? Doesn't he still want to be the king of Yingzhou? ”

The housekeeper said: "I'm not sure for the time being, but it shouldn't be wrong, and the people around him are gone." ”

Sima Xin frowned, and said: "He is Zhu Kang's echo worm, and he finally returned to Yingzhou, he won't just leave like this, there must be some ulterior motives, send someone to continue to search." ”

"Yes!"

The butler answered.

At this time, a subordinate came quickly, "Master, the guards around the king are here." ”

Sima Xin frowned slightly, didn't he just come back from there, how could he ......

Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and then left the study.

"It turned out to be Sword-sama."

In the living room, I saw several guards already waiting, led by a man with a scar on his face.

The man with the scar glanced at Sima Xin and said lightly: "Lord Sima, the king has an order, now that Yingzhou is facing a threat from the outside world, I hope that Lord Sima will fully cooperate and hand over the people under his command to Dao, so as to facilitate unified management and transfer." ”

What!

As soon as these words came out, Sima Xin's face suddenly became extremely ugly, this was clearly to seize his power!

The corners of his eyes were jumping wildly, and there was anger in his eyes.

Seeing this, the corners of the scarred man's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes became extraordinarily deep.
