As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 397
"Then what?" Xie Changzhi asked: "Waiting for the imperial court to send troops to wipe out our group of rebellious parties?"

Before Chu Nanxuan could speak, Xie Changzhi said bluntly: "Raising soldiers and horses requires money and food. Now the soldiers and horses in Danzhou and Yaocheng rely on the imperial court for food and salary."

"Once we start an attack, food and grass will be cut off..."

"And there is no grain-producing land around Danzhou and Yaocheng. Without grain and grass, even if we hold 10,000+ troops, it will be of no avail. The soldiers will riot if they don't have enough to eat... Then the imperial court will send troops to suppress us."

"When the time comes and we are faced with internal and external troubles, aren't we looking for death?"

"Brother Changzhi is indeed right. To do things, we need armed forces and food." Chu Nanxuan smiled and said, "But we don't lack these. We have plenty of money."

"Oh?" Xie Changzhi raised his eyebrows: "How much money have you saved to start the incident?"

Chu Nanxuan did not respond to this question and only said: "As for the imperial court sending troops to conquer us... Although Da Qin claims to have millions of soldiers, they are scattered throughout the four borders."

"Moreover, the surrounding areas are not stable. The foreign races outside the Sixteenth State of Youyun are ready to move, and the Turks in northern Hebei are also provoking and testing from time to time."

"If we make any move, the troops that the imperial court can send to conquer us can only be drawn from various state capitals."

"Even if the soldiers and horses mobilized from the state capital's military camp barely make up 20 or [-], how can their combat power be comparable to that of Yaocheng's soldiers and horses... As long as we deal with it properly, the imperial court can't do anything to us."

Xie Changzhi sneered and said: "Your calculations are quite good, but the soldiers and horses of Yaocheng are not fools. How can they listen to your orders?"

"Isn't it up to Brother Changzhi?" Chu Nanxuan said slowly: "As soon as Xie Changqing dies, Brother Changzhi will blame his death on the court and then control the main generals in the army."

"If there are even three or two soldiers who question us, we will kill them to serve as a warning to others."

"Even if there are people in the army who dare to doubt us, they won't dare to show their suspicions... Once they get on our ship, they will have no way to get off, and they will have to walk all the way to the dark side."

"As for how to kill Xie Changqing... isn't his sister in your hands now? If you use her as bait to lure Xie Changqing to come, it will be very simple, isn't it?"

There was no expression on Xie Changzhi's face at this time: "It seems that you have thought it through for me. Then tell me first, why did Xingchen's child become the son of Prince Liang?"

The smile on Chu Nanxuan's face slowly disappeared.

Xie Changzhi asked again: "I went to Dou's house once when Xingchen gave birth a few years ago. I clearly heard her telling her mother that the child was yours. Why did it become Prince Liang's?"

"You are just the son of a general, but you have the ambition to conquer the world. It really surprises me... Chu Nanxuan, who are you?"

Chu Nanxuan was silent for a long time before saying: "Xingchen's matter... I had an appointment with her that night, but I was deliberately sent away by Prince Liang. When I arrived, something had happened to her."

"I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it if she knows the truth, so I can only say it's me..." Chu Nanxuan closed his eyes and took a long breath, "It was me who failed to protect her, which made her marry into Prince Liang's palace and end up like that - "

"But if Xie Zhaozhao hadn't stirred up the situation behind his back, things shouldn't have come to that point, and Xingchen would be fine now."

"I really love her. Even if the child is not mine, I have always treated her with care. I even took him to the capital just to give him a better study environment."

"All of this was ruined by Xie Zhaozhao!"

Xie Changzhi sneered: "You like Xingchen and you are engaged and married to Xie Zhaozhao?"

"Who calls her father the Duke of Liang?" Chu Nanxuan said with a bitter smile: "I think she took a fancy to me, and Xie Wei also took a fancy to me, so I was engaged... Besides, no matter how much ambition I have, it can't be sustained by one person. , I need someone to help me—"

"Didn't you ask me just now why I am just the son of a general, but I have ambitions to conquer the world? It doesn't hurt to tell you that I am not from the Chu family, and Chu Pengcheng is not my father."

"My mother is not the princess of the former dynasty, but a princess. I am of the royal bloodline of the former dynasty."

"The Yun family has taken away my family's power, how can I remain indifferent."

Xie Changzhi's expression changed drastically, "You - you are actually from the royal family of the previous dynasty!"

"That's right." Chu Nanxuan said lightly: "For this reason, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I have been planning for many years to restore the country. Now if I don't have enough confidence, I won't take the initiative to find you."

"Don't you want to avenge your mother and sister? Let them die unjustly and miserably like that?" Xie Changzhi was silent for a long time before he said "yes" firmly.

In fact, Xie Zhaozhao had mentioned this to Xie Changzhi in advance.

She said that she wanted to show her trump card and give Chu Nanxuan some doubts. The exchanges between you and me would gain Chu Nanxuan's trust more.

Moreover, Xie Zhaozhao said that one must start with planning, not revenge.

Men are ambitious.

Starting from planning can create a hidden sense of intimacy in the other person and make him feel that he has a like-minded person.

Xie Changzhi was hesitant when he first implemented it.

But watching Chu Nanxuan patiently explain his questions one by one, Xie Changzhi felt that Xie Zhaozhao's words were reasonable.

She really knew Chu Nanxuan very well.

These words taught to Xie Changzhi went one step further, breaking down Chu Nanxuan's line of defense against suspicion.

Hearing Chu Nanxuan's identity at this time, he was even more surprised.

Think about what he said before - no matter how much ambition one person has, it is difficult for one person to support him, and he needs someone to help him...

So you found the Xie family?

So his marriage to Xie Zhaozhao was just for the purpose of reviving the country. Does that mean he really loves his sister Xingchen, rather than taking advantage of it in another way?

Xie Changzhi suddenly felt cold in his heart.

This was not the first time he had met Chu Nanxuan. They had previously sparred, rode horses, talked, laughed, and drank together, but it was only today that he truly understood what kind of person Chu Nanxuan was.

Such an ambitious and thoughtful person.

Fortunately... I didn't listen to his words from the beginning and get on his boat.

At this time, Chu Nanxuan said again: "Do you still remember those tall armored soldiers behind me when we met behind the Black Dragon Pond? Those are called soldiers, and they are truly powerful weapons with one against a hundred."

"With these soldiers in hand, we are even more powerful."

Xie Changzhi already knew about the soldiers, but he was still calm at this time, "You said it is a fairy tale, but I half-believe it... My mother and Xingchen are dead. If I want revenge, I just need to find a way to kill Xie Zhaozhao."

"It may not be possible to do it quietly and no one will notice."

"But if I seek trouble with you, I will become a rebel... If I can't see your strength and just rush into your camp based on your red tongue, wouldn't I be too stupid?"

Chu Nanxuan asked: "So you want to see it with your own eyes?"

"good."

Xie Changzhi stood up, "I once heard Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changqing mention the incident in Qizhou. When they talked about the armored soldiers, Xie Zhaozhao's face turned pale. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of powerful killing weapon they are."

Chu Nanxuan curled his lips.

Especially when I heard that Xie Zhaozhao's face was expressionless, he was even more proud, "Soldiers are definitely the killing weapons of no one before or since. You may want to see it with your own eyes. I happen to be going to the Black Dragon Pond to lie down tomorrow. By then you can with me."

Chu Nanxuan walked to the window and glanced at the lifeless Xie Zhaozhao in the yard, "But you have to leave this woman to me."
