The brazier in the room was very hot, and the water in the copper pot nestled on the side was boiling, and white air was steaming up. Aside the brazier, a woman was sitting at the table, skillfully simmering Kung Fu tea.

The woman did not wear a hairpin or a pink scribble, but she was wearing an ordinary green dress. However, her bright appearance made the ordinary house seem to be emitting a glimmer.

Her name is Dai Shu, the former Empress of the Daliang Dynasty. Now, she appears quietly in Guangzhou City.

The door sounded softly, and after a moment, Sheng Zhonghuai pushed open the door and walked in.

As the plenipotent representative of King Liang Zhu Youzhen, Sheng Zhonghuai had really traveled a long distance and went through countless hardships before appearing in Guangzhou City.

Zhu Youzhen was not very keen on this party, and he was even more reluctant to leave Yizhou by an important figure like Sheng Zhonghuai. He spent several months just to come to Guangzhou City to discuss a negotiation that was destined to be unsuccessful.

But Sheng Zhonghuai insisted on coming.

First, Sheng Zhonghuai never thought that Yizhou could withstand the attack of the Northern Tang army with his own strength, even if Yizhou had natural dangers.

Second, Sheng Zhonghuai has more important things to do, that is, to send Dai Shu and her children away.

For the latter point, Dai Shu and Sheng Zhonghuai had reached an agreement with Zhu Youzhen. Dai Shu and Sheng Zhonghuai helped Zhu Youzhen take over Yizhou, Sheng Zhonghuai served Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen wanted to allow Dai Shu and her children to leave Yizhou safely and find their own way of life.

Although Dai Shu has no choice if Zhu Youzhen regrets it now, it is obvious that Zhu Youzhen does not want to do this. In his eyes, ten Dai Shu is not as important as one Sheng Zhonghuai. As long as Sheng Zhonghuai can serve him wholeheartedly, so what if Dai Shu is let go?

Seeing Sheng Zhonghuai sitting opposite him, Dai Shu pushed the divided tea in front of him: "What do you think when I met those people today?"

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled, picked up the cup, poured it into his mouth, and whipped it back and forth for a few turns before swallowing it with a gurgle and said, "Each one has its own ulterior motives. How strange can you achieve great things in such an alliance?"

"It seems that the third brother is right. If you can't count on them, you will have a waste of time." Dai Shu shook her head while drinking tea.

"The main purpose of coming here is to send you and the children away. Seeing them is just a matter of course. It doesn't matter if you can achieve the best, but it doesn't matter if you can't." Sheng Zhonghuai said.

Dai Shu's eyelids drooped slightly, and after a while, he said, "You are so tired."

Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head but didn't say anything.

After being silent for a while, Dai Shucai said, "Since these people cannot succeed, can Yizhou persist?"

"Do your best and leave your destiny!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "To be honest, Li Ze's mind is no longer on military warfare. In his opinion, we are all grasshoppers in the autumn and will not be able to jump for a few days."

"Is it just so arrogant after taking half of the country?"

"He is really not arrogant!" Sheng Zhonghuai sighed and said, "I read every issue of the Tang Dynasty Weekly. Since Li Ze entered Chang'an, he has done nothing but an ancient person and no one has come. If this person's series of ideas are really successful, he will definitely become the emperor of the eternal world since the creation of the world."

"You have such a high opinion of him?" Dai Shu was shocked.

"It is not surprising that a man has power, but after he has the greatest power, he can still share power, which is really not easy." Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head and sighed: "This person's mind is really unmeasurable. This person's thoughts are also unpredictable by ordinary people like me."

"Do you regret not being able to serve such a person?" Dai Shu asked.

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "It's a bit. It's a pity that the first person I met was not this person. If I missed it, I missed it. Things in the world cannot be repeated."

"I see that under your governance, Yizhou is now in a prosperous state. In the military, the third brother is also working hard to govern the soldiers, pushing clothes and food to them. The Liang army now vaguely allows me to see what we were when we were the most powerful."

"It's a little improved. Unfortunately, with the power of the earth alone, I can never fight against the world." Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head and said, "This time I came here, I had a little hope. If the Southern Alliance could really unite and form a rope, we can work together to push the time of defeat as much as possible. As long as the time is long, we might still find opportunities, but now it seems that the opportunity is not great."

Dai Shu looked at the man opposite and said quietly: "Since there is no good result, why do you have to do it? Why don't you let go and go with me!"

Sheng Zhonghuai's body trembled slightly. Isn't Dai Shu's proposal the biggest temptation for him? It took a lot of effort to restrain his agitated mood, lowered his head and looked at Dai Shu's eyes, and whispered: "The King of Liang has a lot of trust in me. Knowing that I will send you out this time, I may never go back, but I still let me leave. Sheng will eventually be rewarded for this trust. People treat me as national soldiers, and I cannot abandon it like a piece of grass, which will make me feel uneasy. I feel uneasy, and no matter where I go, I will not be happy."

Dai Shu nodded, poured a cup of tea, picked it up and drank it slowly. But in her eyes, there was a disappointment that could not be concealed.

"Secondly, I am a man, a man who wants to pacify the world and govern the world, and has ambitions." Sheng Zhonghuai continued: "It is an irresistible temptation for me to be able to fight with a generation of strange people like Li Ze. Regardless of victory or defeat, I always want to give it a try. Even if I lose nothing in the end, I can't help but want to try it."

"I understand your thoughts!" Dai Shu sighed, "I only ask you, when you are in the last moment, when you can't give it, you must not go to the death. You must find a way to leave. With your intelligence and wisdom, it is absolutely not difficult to leave. Don't forget that on that island with sea water, there is a woman looking forward to it."

"Of course." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "I will arrange everything. If I really can't hold on for a day, I will leave."

"When will you leave?" Dai Shu asked directly without saying anything.

"Three days later!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Three days later, there will be a sea boat leaning against Guangzhou Port. When you return, you will get on the boat. The five hundred soldiers will follow you. This force is enough to make you run rampant on that small island and build your own home."

"Is that ship safe? Now at sea, it is the world of the Northern Tang Navy!" Dai Shu said with some concern.

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled and said, "This ship was originally from the Northern Tang people. It is said to be a smuggling cargo, but it is actually inseparable from the Northern Tang people. I spent 100,000 silver dollars to hire this ship to take you to your destination. As soon as this ship leaves the port, the flag of the Northern Tang Dynasty will be raised, and the Northern Tang navy will not harass them."

"In this way, can we not hide the eyes of the Northern Tang people in this trip?" Dai Shu asked in surprise. Her identity was extremely special. If the Northern Tang people knew that it was Dai Shu on the ship and had a bad intention, I would probably have it.

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "They only thought you were a family member of a wealthy family. Now that they saw that the situation was wrong, they went overseas to open up a way out. In fact, such things are not uncommon now. This boat shop specializes in this kind of business. They will not defeat their reputation."

Dai Shu nodded. She always had a blind sense of confidence towards Sheng Zhonghuai.

"Besides, with Li Ze's mind, even if he knows that it is you, he may not come to make things difficult for you women and children!" Sheng Zhonghuai said.

"I hope this is the case!" Dai Shu said.

"The island has a span of more than 100 miles east-west and more than 20 miles north-south. The climate is suitable and can be planted for two seasons a year." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "It is said that there are two small tribes on the island, with about thousands of people, but they are all slash-and-burn farms. Zhu Guangze and the first group of people have already gone to the island and cleared out the safe area. You are also a hero among women. Wherever you go, you will naturally know what to do."

"First use your power, then use your virtue, and try to win over all the local local people." Dai Shu said.

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded.

"A three-day voyage from that island, there is a larger island where merchants from Northern Tang plant sugarcane."

"Will they cause trouble for us?" Dai Shu was a little surprised: "The three-day voyage is not far."

"Don't worry!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "When I went overseas, every person who speaks the Tang Dynasty is an ally for them. If you stand firm, you can still trade with them. No matter who you are, as long as you have interests, they will not conflict with each other unless they have no choice."

Dai Shu nodded silently.

"Will there be pirates?"

"Now, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty occupied a lot of places and had great interests, so the Tang Dynasty's navy had already cleaned up the pirates there. Even if there were some small groups of people, they would not dare to provoke the Tang people. Once the Tang people were killed, the Tang people would be extremely cruel to retaliate. As far as I know, there was a native man on a small island who killed a Tang people, and the result was that the island was completely slaughtered by the Tang people."

"The Tang army still does such a thing?"
