Long night.

A sleepless night.

In the pavilion in the back garden of Duke Xia’s mansion, flowers were floating away.

Duke Xia Mochou still sat here.

He was drinking.

one person.

A pot of wine.

One bite after another.

As an old fox, of course, he is not so easily fooled by Hua Manting.

In fact, it has been more than ten days since Hua Manting arrived in Dongxu City.

In the past ten days, Hua Manting visited Duke Xia’s Mansion three times.

The two had known each other decades ago. Hua Manting traveled to the Wu Kingdom when he was young, and Xia Mochou also served as an envoy to Ning Kingdom.

He is a general.

But he was deeply influenced by Xi Wei.

Therefore, his literary attainments are also very good.

In Wu State, he had the title of Confucian general.

I saw Hua Manting again tonight, and even finally agreed to Hua Manting to become another Xi Wei of the Wu Kingdom...

This is not because Xia Mochou's so-called lofty thoughts are just the undercurrents hidden under the calm surface of the Wu Kingdom today.

The first thing to do is to reduce the vassal states!

As his Duke, he knew this was not groundless.

Is it good to reduce the vassal states?

He had carefully considered this question.

From a fair standpoint, this policy is very good, but from a personal standpoint...

His daughter Xia Wanyi is the princess of the eldest prince Ping Wu Hui!

If this knife continues, no one will be spared!

In the face of family affection, he must stop the prince from depriving the vassal after he ascended the throne.

He has been watching these days, hoping that the emperor would deny the matter at a court meeting, but the emperor did not mention it at all.

This means that the emperor also has this intention.

The emperor today is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Don’t look at him now that he seems to have handed over the government affairs to His Highness the Crown Prince to take care of, but as long as he is still alive, he may turn his hands around at any time!

Especially the two forces in his hands—

Jishu Room!

And the Condor Arctic!

General Gou Zhong of the Condor Heroes Army is called the Emperor's Eagle!

Mo Wangchen from Jishu Room is called the Emperor's Dog!

This eagle and dog are absolutely loyal to the emperor. If the emperor really makes up his mind to reduce the vassal states...even if he cannot resist, he will have to find a way out for his children and grandchildren to save his lives.

Hua Manting said tonight that Li Chenan is not dead!

Xia Mochou had no doubt at all.

Because if Li Chenan really died, Hua Manting would definitely not come to Wu!

He will definitely be his chief in Tai Academy in Ningguo!

On the other hand, he also heard that his granddaughter Xia Hua fell in love with Li Chenan... This retreat became so clear.

Even if it could use Li Chen'an's power to make an amazing move in Wu State, it would not be impossible!

So what if you promise Hua Manting to be a Xi curtain?

Besides, I am not the first Xi Wei in Wu.

So who is the first one?

Just as Xia Mochou was carefully calculating, Xia Liu came over with her daughter Xia Hua.

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

The two bowed and Xia Mochou glared at Xia Liu, looked at Xia Hua but laughed happily.

"Come on, sit down!"

"Last time my grandfather went to Tianshan, I haven't seen him for more than a year in a blink of an eye. My granddaughter seems to have grown taller again!"

"Sit down quickly and let grandpa have a good time..."

Xia Mochou held Xia Hua in one hand, turned his head and looked at Xia Liu. The smile on his face disappeared. He glared at Xia Liu again, "Why are you still staying here? Why don't you go and ask the kitchen to make some wine

Good food?"

"I want to have a drink with my granddaughter. You stand here with annoying eyes! Gangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang

Xia Mochou waved his hand with disgust, and Xia Liusheng left desperately.

Xia Hua sat opposite Xia Mochou with a smile, "Grandpa, I seem to have been in trouble tonight."

Xia Mochou stroked his long beard and raised his neck: "What's wrong with my granddaughter causing trouble? That's not a big deal!"

"Tell me, what did you do?"

Xia Hua pursed her lips: "I, I seem to offend the little one!"

Xia Mochou immediately opened his mouth wide, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "What are you talking about... Your Highness of the Crown Prince?"

"yes!"

Xia Mochou swallowed, looked around, leaned over and said, "Why did you offend him just now when you returned to Kyoto?"

Xia Hua pondered for three breaths and told Xia Mochou carefully about the story of the tonight's literary meeting.

"I just can't stand him stepping on Li Chen'an and Mr. Li... There is no one in the world who can compare with them in poetry and prose, but Xiao Signature just opens his eyes and tells lies!"

"Isn't this a reversal of right and wrong?"

"I, I couldn't help but recite the poem that the teacher made. My father said that Xiao Qianzi's face was blue."

"Xiao Qianzi was very jealous when he was a child. I'm afraid he would hold a grudge against the Xia Mansion!"

Xia Mochou stroked his long beard and sat up straight, "Oh..."

"The Mr. Li and his wife you mentioned...they went to the Sword Cleaning Tower?"

Xia Hua originally thought that her grandfather would think carefully about how to deal with Wu Qian, but she didn't expect that her grandfather actually asked such an irrelevant thing.

She nodded, "Mr. and Master's wife are going to fulfill his last wish for Chen An."

When Xia Mochou heard this, he suddenly laughed.

Xia Hua was stunned and thought to herself that her father said that she had broken the sky, why was grandpa so calm?

He can actually laugh!

"Don't worry about anything. After all, the prince still has more than a year to ascend the throne."

"Grandpa wants to ask you, you went to Ningguo after going down Tianshan, and you also met Li Chenan... What do you think of Li Chenan's child?"

Xia Hua was stunned, her face suddenly turned red, and after a moment, it slowly faded.

She lowered her head slightly and sighed: "What can we do if we are better? We will never be resurrected after all."

Xia Mochou leaned over again and looked at his granddaughter's face carefully. He already understood that this granddaughter really fell in love with Li Chenan.

He did not say that Li Chenan was still alive.

What he said was: "Actually, the prince is very interested in you. Since Li Chenan is dead... you are not young anymore and you will marry you after all. So marry the prince. The queen of Wu must be yours. What do you think

?”

Xia Hua suddenly raised her head, her eyes narrowed, and her words were extremely firm: "No!"

"Chen An passed away, I, the devil's appearance has condensed in my heart, it is him!"

"I can't marry anyone again!"

"I want to go back to Tianshan and live on Tianshan for the rest of my life like a master!"

Xia Mo raised his eyebrows and was not angry, but asked curiously: "You said, you have condensed the appearance of the demon? Is this appearance of the demon or Li Chen'an?"
