When Xiang Zhen walked into the inn where Sheng Zhonghuai lived, he suddenly found Sheng Zhonghuai sitting by the table waiting for him, and seven or eight dishes were still steaming.

"Sheng Changshi knew I was coming, so he was still ready?" Xiang Zhen walked directly to the table, sat down, looked at the wine glasses filled with wine in front of him, picked them up, and tilted his neck to drink clean.

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled and said, "I think it's almost dawn to clean up the situation. Then I must go to see the Fujian Observer Commander Rong Hongrong. Next, I probably came to my place, so I prepared the wine and food first. I didn't expect that it really made me guess."

"It is said that Sheng Zhonghuai is a great man of his generation, but it is not true." Xiang Zhen nodded. "If Zhu Youzhen was not yours, it is hard to say whether he could enter Yizhou, let alone that Yizhou was completely reorganized in a short period of time."

"I've been awarded the general!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Come on, try this Yizhou dish."

Xiang Zhen didn't say much, picked up the chopsticks and ate it, and said while eating: "I've been busy all night, and I've been overwhelmed by the horses. I went to Rong Hong to fight wits and courage, and I didn't even drink saliva. I'm so hungry. Sheng Changshi is still caring, hahaha!"

"I'm afraid you won't be used to Yizhou cuisine!" Sheng Zhonghuai looked at his voracious look, and his eyes couldn't hide his appreciation.

"I have a chef at home who can cook Yizhou cuisine!" Xiang Zhen looked up at Sheng Zhonghuai and said, "Sheng Changshi, to be honest, your Yizhou cuisine is not very authentic."

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "The taste is a little worse, but the people who make this dish are different. Her name is Dai Shu!"

Xiang Zhen was stunned, stopped chopsticks and said, "I know that the former Empress of Daliang has arrived in Guangzhou City, but I didn't expect that she could actually cook."

Sheng Zhonghuai laughed and said, "Come out, I have said a long time ago that you came to Guangzhou City, and you can't hide it from General Xiang."

The door of the back hall sounded lightly, Dai Shu was wearing a palace outfit and came out slowly, bowing her body and bowing.

Xiang Zhen stood up, clasped his fists and arched, turned around and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai and said, "Sheng Changshi, if you don't say it, I will always think it's something I don't know."

"If it were the past, I would naturally hide my ears. But now that I have mastered the overall situation from the General, it is better to admit it. After all, we have to leave your land." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "General, please do it, Madam, you can sit down too!"

Xiang Zhen looked at the two of them playfully, and after a while, he said, "Are you worried that I would detain Mrs. Zhu and his children to coerce you?"

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "There are considerations in this regard. If the general wants to do big things, he must want to combine the strength of all aspects. Sheng did not dare to underestimate himself, and was a little worried that the general would use them, their mother and son as bargaining chips."

Xiang Zhen laughed: "Sheng Changshi, if I really think so, would I change my mind just because of your current confession?"

Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head: "General Xiang, I just want to tell you that you don't need to do this at all, because I appreciate you and support you with all your might for what you want to do. The so-called heroes' appreciation for each other is nothing more than that."

Xiang Zhen smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "You and I both suffered great losses under Li Ze's hands. They lost again and again, and they were about to lose so much that they even had their underwear. There was no such thing as heroes sympathizing with each other, but they just needed to keep warm. Sheng Changshi said this, but I let go of half of my heart. It seems that our conversation will definitely be very pleasant."

"Heroes are not over and over! As long as people are still alive and still have some capital, they are still making a comeback!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Why is General Xiang a little lacking in spirit!"

"Of course I have the energy, otherwise, I will wash my neck early and wait for Li Ze to cut it down. Why do I have to work so hard? But although I am so arrogant, I still have no confidence and anxiety." Xiang Zhen said: "Sheng Changshi, don't tell me that you are confident enough to defeat the Northern Tang Dynasty, or think that King Liang can be safe and sound by relying on the natural dangers of Yizhou."

"If the Southern Alliance is defeated, how can Yizhou survive alone?" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The lips are gone and the teeth are cold."

"That's the truth!" Xiang Zhen clapped his hands and said, "King Liang is in Yizhou. Over the past year, the people have gradually stabilized. After the army is reorganized, the combat power has increased greatly. It is Xiang's biggest arm support. I am still thinking about how to convince Sheng Changshi? It seems that there is no need to waste any more words. It's just Sheng Changshi. Can you be the lord of King Liang?"

"This is our own business, so General Xiang doesn't have to worry." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Now I just want to ask, is General Xiang still safe?"

Xiang Zhen frowned slightly, took the chopsticks and slapped it in the plate in front of him for a few times, and said, "My father drank too much wine last night and was attacked by the wind and cold again. He accidentally got caught in the wind and was already exhausted."

"It should be so!" Sheng Zhonghuai didn't care. If Xiang Xun could still speak, it would surprise him, and at the same time he would give him a big question mark on his cooperation with Xiang Zhen.

"Does Sheng Changshi think Xiang is cruel and ruthless?" Facing such a sensible person, Xiang Zhen did not hide it and said directly.

"To be honest, I didn't have much hope for this time. The more important thing is to send my wife out. As for the meeting with General Xiang, it is likely to be a false story. Because General Xiang and our Yizhou are completely different, and I don't want to stand out from the general, it really makes me feel like killing two birds with one stone this trip. This trip is worth it, this trip is worth it!"

"The third brother was originally planning to send someone to meet the story casually. He was very dissatisfied with Brother Sheng who insisted on coming to see me in person. He thought that Brother Sheng had made a big deal and left the big things in Yizhou, and left for me, a woman. Now it seems that Brother Sheng will return with a full load." Dai Shu stood up and filled the wine glasses with wine in the two of them.

Xiang Zhenxuxu was a courtesy. No matter what, Dai Shu was also a queen. No matter what he is now, his identity and status are also here.

"General Xiang, Xiang Jun is leading the troops outside, you still did this decisively. If what I guessed correctly, you should have corresponding arrangements in Xiang Jun's army, and in Jiangxi, you should have allies, right?" Sheng Zhonghuai asked.

"Not bad! Qian Wenzhong arrived in Guangzhou City, and Jiangxi's power fell into the hands of Qian Wenxi and Qian Shouyi, but Qian Shouyi had similar interests with me and had formed an alliance long ago. Xiang Jun would not have to come back when he arrived in Jiangxi. The ten thousand imperial camp rear troops he brought would also stay in Jiangxi."

"Where is in Hunan?" Sheng Zhonghuai pinched the wine glass, thinking.

Xiang Zhen smiled slightly, but stopped making a sound.

Seeing this, Dai Shu smiled slightly, stood up, raised her wine glass, and said, "General, this time I borrowed your place to leave this place of right and wrong, which will cause you trouble. Dai Shu toast you with a glass of wine."

"I dare not!" Xiang Zhen stood up, held the cup in both hands, bowed slightly, and drank it all in one sip.

Dai Shu also drank all the wine in the glass, bowed to the two and said, "Talk slowly. The children are so naughty, I have to take care of them."

"Madam, please give me!" Xiang Zhen stretched out his hand sideways.

Seeing Dai Shu leave, Sheng Zhonghuai was a little displeased: "General Xiang doesn't actually have to avoid her."

"It's not avoiding her!" Xiang Zhen shook his head and said, "Mrs. Zhu will leave here soon after all, but the boat she is on is closely related to the Northern Tang Dynasty. No one knows how many inner guards of the Northern Tang Dynasty are on this boat? These people may not have any interest in Mrs. Zhu, but they will definitely be interested in what Mrs. Zhu knows. The less the wife knows, the safer she is to her, did Sheng Changshi say?"

"It's not bad." Sheng Zhonghuai nodded and said, "It seems that you actually have arrangements in Hunan, which really surprised me a little. It's hard to imagine how you did it."

"I have been in a state of mind for decades, but I haven't lost much else, but I still have a lot of friends." Xiang Zhen said quietly.

"Ding Taiyi also arrived in Guangzhou City. His eldest son Ding Sheng has always been trusted by his father. He also holds great power in his hands in Hunan. He cannot be yours. If you want to do something, you must not let Ding Taiyi go back, and you must overthrow Ding Sheng. However, this person is not successful in Hunan, but must have a certain foundation. I guess, this person is Ding Taiyi's concubine son, Ding Hao."

Xiang Zhen gave Sheng Zhonghuai a thumbs up speechlessly. He really couldn't have imagined that before he could say anything, the person in front of him actually saw through most of his old truths.

"Sheng Changshi, I'm going to tell you that the governors who came to Guangzhou City this time don't think about going back. The Guangzhou court will immediately have many important positions, enough to accommodate them." Xiang Zhen said: "The only one who can go back is Sheng Changshi."

"If King Liang came, would you let him go back?" Sheng Zhonghuai asked with a smile.

"The King of Liang is different!" Xiang Zhen said, "If King of Liang really comes, I will definitely send him back with great respect. Compared with those old people, King of Liang still has the intention of enterprising and revenge."

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled and said, "Since you have the control of Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Lingnan, in the Southern Alliance, you have indeed possessed overwhelming power. Whoever dares to oppose you will have enough power to pacify them first, and they will not be disobedient. Since the matter has been planned to this point, I think the General will do something unexpected to everyone to consolidate your rule."

"Sheng Changshi might as well guess again!" Xiang Zhen asked with a smile.
