It's just... Marshal Chaiyang is a warlord, and behind Chaiyang County Magistrate is the Republic of China. He doesn't believe that Huo Tingyu dares to go against the Republic of China government, but he doesn't dare to bet that Huo Tingyu doesn't dare to take action.
He Cheng asked Huo Tingyu: "Commander, there are probably not a few people coveting your place in Yongzhou in the entire northwest."
"Northwest? The northwest has always been a balance between various warlords. Now the arrival of the two has broken this balance. County Magistrate He, tell me who will be the first to officially start a war?"
Huo Tingyu stared at He Cheng with a threatening look in his eyes.
Now the topic between the three people had reached the point of collapse. Lu Ze saw this and hurriedly stood up to leave.
He Cheng glanced at Lu Ze, then stood up and said goodbye to Huo Tingyu.
Huo Tingyu looked at the adjutant beside him and weighed the possibility of capturing these two people in his mind.
Immediately, he stood up and made a show of sending off the two county magistrates.
He glanced at the screen beside him with his peripheral vision, and then sighed faintly: "I'm sorry to see you off so far."
Afterwards, the adjutant took Lu Ze and He Cheng out of Huo Tingyu's reception room.
After the door of the reception room was closed, Chen Jinjun walked out from behind the screen, stood by the window, and watched the two county magistrates' cars gradually go away with Huo Tingyu.
"Why didn't you let me do it just now?" Huo Tingyu followed Chen Jinjun back to the sofa and asked her,
Chen Jinjun shook his head: "Things are not that simple."
"Oh? It's obvious that both of them have come to provoke me. I guess the next step is to declare war directly." Huo Tingyu looked solemn. He was not afraid of just fighting. However, the people standing behind Chai Yang and Yucheng were the Republic of China, so this would inevitably make them uncomfortable.
He throws the rat into the trap and is timid.
Chen Jinjun glanced at him disapprovingly: "That Lu Ze, when he mentioned Shao Peichen just now, his mood was not right."
When she said this, Huo Tingyu suddenly thought of Lu Ze's knuckles that were white from exertion.
"According to what you say, Lu Ze and Shao Peichen are at odds?" Huo Tingyu couldn't believe it for a moment. He still clearly remembered that when he was at Jiang's house that day, the woman beside Shao Peichen was now Lu Ze's county magistrate's wife.
Chen Jinjun did not dare to draw any conclusions on his own. He just started to think back on everything Lu Ze and He Cheng said to Huo Tingyu here just now.
"Tell me, Shao Peichen, why did you suddenly instruct the two of them to go against Yongzhou?" Chen Jinjun really couldn't figure this out for a while.
"Besides, you said that Shao Peichen was in a dilemma when he took over Yucheng. Why does he want to take over Yongzhou now?"
Chen Jinjun asked two questions in succession. Huo Tingyu thought according to Chen Jinjun's thinking, and sure enough, something was wrong everywhere.
If nothing else, let's just say that he, Shao Peichen, would hesitate to accept just one Yucheng. According to Huo Tingyu's estimation, if it weren't for his suspicious expression, Shao Peichen would probably shirk it for a while.
This is really wrong for a person whose mission is to take over the entire northwest.
Chen Jinjun took a deep breath: "So, there must be something fishy in it."
"Then according to what you said, the relationship between Shao Peichen and these two people is not actually harmonious? Then why is the lady next to Lu Ze a member of Shao Peichen?"
"Lu Ze's wife is from Shao Peichen." Chen Jinjun murmured this sentence.
Suddenly, she figured out a lot of things.
"So, the lady next to Lu Ze is from Shao Peichen, so she is most likely sent by Shao Peichen to Lu Ze to monitor Lu Ze's every move." Chen Jinjun said what he was thinking.
"So, Shao Peichen will feel embarrassed when you offer Jade City, because this He Cheng has come to the northwest, and Shao Peichen does not have the extra people at hand to monitor He Cheng's every move. Therefore, Shao Peichen will be reluctant to accept Jade City.
Feeling embarrassed."
After Chen Jinjun finished speaking, he looked at Huo Tingyu in shock.
Huo Tingyu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "It makes sense now that Lu Ze and He Cheng are not directly taking orders from Shao Peichen, but they are likely to have received orders from their superiors, asking them to take orders from Shao Peichen.
Shao Peichen, so that we can capture the northwest as soon as possible?"
Chen Jinjun sat up straight, with a serious expression on his face: "So, Shao Peichen's situation among the top leaders of the Republic of China government may be difficult."
Otherwise, there would be no one who specially trained Lu Ze and He Cheng to come to this place in the northwest and keep an eye on Shao Peichen when they assisted Shao Peichen.
Chen Jinjun continued: "Then we might as well make a bold guess as to why Lu Ze and He Cheng were staring at Shao Peichen. Is it possible that they were afraid that he would run away?"
This possibility is unlikely, but Chen Jinjun can't think of other possibilities for a while.
But Huo Tingyu said quietly: "I don't know if my boss has ever heard that the good birds are hidden in the bows, and the cunning rabbits are cooked by the lackeys?"
Chen Jinjun was stunned for two seconds, and then looked at Huo Tingyu in shock: "No..."
Huo Tingyu nodded: "Now it seems that this is the only explanation that makes the most sense."
"Shao Peichen is such a smart person, isn't he..." Chen Jinjun didn't believe that Shao Peichen didn't realize this.
Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun curiously.
Chen Jinjun expressed his suspicion in disbelief: "Shao Peichen, did he deliberately let Lu Ze and He Cheng attack?"
It has to be said that Chen Jinjun is very sensitive to politics, so now he is very close to analyzing Shao Peichen's situation.
Huo Tingyu was about to say something, but Chen Jinjun kept shaking his head: "No, no, there is no evidence, I can't be sure."
Chen Jinjun's face became serious.
At this moment, the adjutant knocked on the door, interrupting Chen Jinjun's thoughts.
"Come in." Huo Tingyu patted Chen Jinjun on the shoulder, indicating that she was not in a hurry.
The adjutant walked in and looked at Chen Jinjun: "My boss, your entourage asked you and the commander to go to the Chen family."
"Did you tell me what happened?" Chen Jinjun rubbed his forehead and asked the adjutant.
The adjutant shook his head: "He was with Xu Biaotou from Taipingshan Villa. He just said something, but now he has gone far."
Xu Fanming is looking for himself?
Chen Jinjun frowned and suddenly remembered that he had asked Xu Fanming to help him find out about Shao Peichen's situation at the top of the Republic of China. Could it be...
She raised her head and met Huo Tingyu's eyes.
"Does the boss want to go?"
Huo Tingyu did not rush Chen Jinjun, but let her make her own decision.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "I asked him to check some things about Shao Peichen before, and he should have found something now."
"Let's go then?" Huo Tingyu picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the side for Chen Jinjun.
Chen Jinjun nodded and said that if he didn't think about what Xu Fanming found out, his guess would be confirmed.
Huo Tingyu saw Chen Jinjun's expectations and advised her: "My boss, don't expect too much. Even if we investigate Shao Peichen, I'm afraid we will find out the news he wants us to know."
Chen Jinjun pursed her lips. She had never looked forward to the news brought by Xu Fanming so much: "So, I asked him to investigate because Shao Peichen would never have thought that we have news channels in the world."
Huo Tingyu nodded and opened the umbrella for Chen Jinjun to block the scorching summer sun.
