After the pleasant banquet in the city, Lu Qi and Zhang Hongbo and other generals discussed state affairs together, and discussed how much chance of victory would be if they launched a war against Tang State. This time, Zhang Hongbo's views tended to be conservative, and Zhang Hongbo believed that it was not appropriate to take the initiative to attack Tang State in the short term.

The reason is that, first, the Tang State has always been accommodating the matter of Changzhou. If it attacked Tang quickly, there would be moral criticism, which would arouse a strong counterattack in the hearts of the people of Tang. Second, the Tang State was not so vulnerable. After the Tang State's military strength lost to the west, the Xinghua Army was the real loss.

Third, when Jin was first established, there were many internal troubles. Once an offensive against Tang was launched, if it could not be fought quickly, it would trigger the opportunity of Wei and Zhou to send troops. At that time, Jin State fell into a situation of multi-line combat, and would lose sight of one thing and then allow some ambitious forces to take the opportunity to rebel.

Zhang Hongbo said that the existence of the Tang Kingdom today has actually become a strategic barrier for the Jin Kingdom. The Tang Lord's mentality of being a jealous and jealous of martial arts made it difficult for the Tang Kingdom to launch a war against the Jin Kingdom. However, Zhang Hongbo also believed that the Tang Lord's actual separatist rule against Shezhou was probably difficult to endure for a long time, and suggested that Lu Qi save his relatives and leave Jiangning as soon as possible.

After the generals dispersed, Lu Qi left Zhang Hongbo alone and talked about the Zhang family in Jiangyin. He asked Zhang Hongbo if the Jiang** army could surrender to Zhou State. Zhang Hongbo answered that he dared not speak out because the Jiang** army was very independent, and even the Jiangyin Marquis had little influence. However, the probability of the Jiang** army surrendering to Zhou State is not high, and it is difficult for the Zhou State to give the Jiang** army too much benefit.

Zhang Hongbo suggested that Lu Qi be kind to the Jiang** Army, and that he could give each Jiang** Army the title of commander, and allow the Jiang** Army to moor and trade on any coast of Jin State, because the Jin navy is still in its infancy, and the main function of Jin State's naval army is defense, and it is difficult to trade on a large scale. If the Jiang** Army wants to completely belong to Jin State, it is difficult to do it at present.

Lu Qi proposed the method of giving the marquis to the marquis of the Mansion. Yan also gave the Xiao family so much. Zhang Hongbo did not express his opinion. He said that he could ask the marquis of Jiangyin on his behalf. Lu Qiyi laughed it off, because he needed Zhang Hongbo to be an intermediary.

After Zhang Hongbo left, Lu Qi was with his sister. The brother and sister were talking about the past and now, saying how cute Lu Qi's child was, and saying that his sister and two nieces lived in Wuxian, and they also lived a peaceful and comfortable life. They also said that his sister had already recognized Ning'er's child as her son-in-law. Lu Qi smiled helplessly after hearing this, but he didn't say much.

Xiaoyan talked about Miss Xiao Si and Zhang Hongbo again. Because Miss Xiao Si wanted to see the sea, she came to Donghai County. At that time, Zhang Hongbo personally welcomed and placed Xiao Yan and his party out of the name of Princess Tianyan, and then took Miss Xiao Si and Xiao Yan to see the dock. However, Xiao Si and Zhang Hongbo were able to say something. Since then, Zhang Hongbo has obviously become attentive to Miss Xiao Si, and later expressed his admiration to Miss Xiao Si through Xiao Yan.

However, the Xiao family and the Zhang family are both families, and Zhang Hongbo's status is also the commander in charge of the army, so Miss Xiao Si politely refused, but Zhang Hongbo refused to retreat and asked Xiaoyan to connect with the red line many times. In the end, Miss Xiao Si agreed to Zhang Hongbo's pursuit.

Lu Qi listened to Xiaoyan's delicate narration and looked at his sister's happy innocent face, and his heart was indescribable warmth and softness. So far, even though he established a vast Jin State, he had never felt very happy. Establishing Jin State was more like a thing that had to be done. In terms of figuratively, establishing Jin State was a cause for better survival.

"Xiaoyan, you have fulfilled the marriage between Miss Xiao Si and Zhang Hongbo. Your own marriage must be in your heart." Lu Qi said with a friendly concern.

Xiaoyan was stunned, and then a faint rouge appeared on her cheeks. She lowered her head and fiddled with her little hands. After a while, she said softly: "Xiaoyan's marriage is naturally the seventh brother who decides."

"Brother Qi is just the decision to send her off. My sister likes that one in the future and tells her." Lu Qiqinhe responded.

Xiaoyan nodded, and then her face became stunned. Lu Qi looked at her sister with a smile. After a while, Xiaoyan said in a soft voice: "Brother Qi, Xiaoyan's heart is like a dream, sometimes she feels panic and very uneasy."

"I feel panic. It's because you are afraid of it. It's a beautiful dream. If you are afraid of it, you are still a slave. You just become a noble lady in your dream." Lu Qi said gently.

Xiaoyan nodded and said softly: "It really seems like I'm in a dream. I'm afraid that I'll wake up from the dream and make people laugh."

"The reason why Brother Qi asked you to come to Suzhou is because he was afraid that you would fall into a nightmare. In Suzhou, you will not be hurt." Lu Qi said gently.

"Xiaoyan knows Brother Qi's concern, but Xiaoyan has always been afraid in her heart. Xiaoyan wants to see Brother Qi." Xiaoyan looked at Lu Qi and said in a sad and soft voice, her beautiful eyes burst out with tears and rolled down her cheeks.

Lu Qixin felt a little sad, and he reached out to grab his sister's little hand, and his eyes met. Xiaoyan said softly: "Xiaoyan knows that Brother Qi has always been very hard, and even now, it is also hard."

Lu Qi smiled warmly and said gently: "Brother Seven lives hard, but Brother Seven's heart is sweet. The saddest day of Brother Seven is that he was unable to redeem Xiaoyan. That time, Brother Seven's heart hurts very much."

Xiaoyan nodded in tears and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyan also wanted to help Brother Qi. She once wanted to secretly ask Rongchang, but the lady said that the person in Rongchang was unsuccessful. The lady said that she would ask for help from others and not let me do anything randomly and cause trouble."

Lu Qi was stunned and said gently: "Have you ever contacted Rongchang?"

Xiaoyan shook her head and said softly: "I just met the lady. When I met, Rongchang was very arrogant, and the lady also disliked Rongchang very much."

Lu Qi nodded, and Xiaoyan said softly again: "I heard that Rong was punished by the Emperor of Tang. Was Rongchang arrested?"

Lu Qi shook his head and said, "Rong was punished, but I heard that Rongchang ran away."

Xiaoyan nodded uneasyly. Lu Qi saw something wrong and asked gently: "Xiaoyan, are you afraid of Rongchang in your heart?"

Xiaoyan was stunned, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said in a soft voice: "Rongchang's eyes are scary. The time I saw them, I looked at me strangely in front of the lady, which made me terrified from the bottom of my heart."

A chill flashed through Lu Qi's eyes, and he said gently: "The Rong family has surrendered to Wei. If Rongchang succeeds in escaping, he can only be in Wei."

Xiaoyan nodded, and Lu Qi smiled again and said, "Who are you close to when you come to Suzhou?"

"My sisters-in-law treats me very well, but I am the closest to Sister Ning'er, and Sister Xiaoyun cares about me the most." Xiaoyan replied in a soft voice.

Lu Qi smiled and nodded, and said gently: "I'll go to Wuxian, you should go with Brother Qi."

Xiaoyan nodded and said softly: "I can't be the lady's dowry anymore, so I left a little embarrassed."

Lu Qi smiled and asked, "Do you have any ideas for sister?"

Xiaoyan was stunned and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyan rarely gets along with her sister. When she is in Wuxian, she seems to have always liked embroidery."

Lu Qi nodded and said gently: "You will tell my sister in the future. If you have something you like, I will tell you."

Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Xiaoyan understands."

Lu Qi smiled and said gently: "It's better to laugh, and you should be as happy as possible in the future."

"Xiaoyan cried when she saw Brother Qi. Before, Xiaoyan cried once when she left home. That time, my mother cried too. Xiaoyan could see that she felt very guilty." Xiaoyan said in a sad and soft voice.

Lu Qi's expression calmed down, and his heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand. His mother's white hair appeared in his mind. A bitterness suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Strong self-blame hit his heart, making him feel uncontrollable and guilty.

"Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoyan asked in panic.

"Brother Qi is fine, but I just can't take my mother to Suzhou, and I feel uncomfortable." Lu Qi replied bitterly.

Xiaoyan nodded and said in a soft voice: "I heard from the lady that my mother was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and was taken hostage in Jiangning. The lady said that all the generals and officials led by the Tang Dynasty must have relatives in Jiangning before they can become successful."

Lu Qi nodded sadly, and Xiaoyan said in a soft voice: "Brother Qi, do you need to live in Jiangning for a long time? If it is a long time, I should go to my sister to come and ask you to do it from time to time."

Lu Qixin smiled warmly, looked at her sister, and said gently: "Mom is in Jiangning, it won't be long. In less than a year, I will pick her up to Suzhou to reunite."
