    Cen Wen bowed and said expectantly: "My lord, Wufa went to reconcile, and even more so to blackmail Wang Qi. What will be the final result?"

    He has received the news about Enlightenment¡¯s return, so he is looking forward to it.  Once a large amount of food and money are extorted from Qi, it will be like rain for Yanzhou, which can alleviate some of Yanzhou's difficulties.

    Today¡¯s Yanzhou is not prosperous, and the people¡¯s lives are not particularly good either.

    "well¡­¡­"

    Cao Xuan sighed after hearing this.

    Cen Wen¡¯s heart skipped a beat and asked, ¡°My lord, why are you sighing?¡±

    After the words fell, Cen Wen seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he said: "Could it be that some accident happened, and Zen Master Wufa's trip did not go well."

    Cao Xuan replied: "Not only did it not go well, we did not blackmail Wang Qi. Instead, we made a fuss and got ourselves into trouble. If we had known that this would be the case, we would not have interfered, mediated, or blackmailed Wang Qi."

    Cen Wen asked anxiously: "What is going on?"

    Cao Xuan then roughly said that from the time when Yang Sanqian went to blackmail him after Wu Fa, he was threatened by Wang Qi, and then Yang Sanqian failed in the night attack at night, and was captured by Wang Qi instead.

    After Cao Xuan explained the general situation, he finally said: "Wang Qi threatened Wu Fa and asked me to hand over Xiang Peng to him and let Xiang Peng work for Wang Qi. Otherwise, Wang Qi will send troops to Yanzhou to destroy Yanzhou."

    Cen Wen flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "How is this possible? Once you abandon Xiang Peng, it is equivalent to breaking an arm. This is not just a simple matter of losing a Xiang Peng. Once the news spreads, it will chill all the soldiers. Minister.  It is recommended that Wang Qi be ignored, if he wants to start a war, we will fight to the end. We in Yanzhou do not buy peace by giving in."

    Cao Xuan sighed and said: "This is what I explained to Wu Fa. I was ready to fight Wang Qi, but Wu Fa directly refused. Wu Fa even threatened that once the war really started, the Great Zen Temple would withdraw and no longer be available.  Help us. In desperation, I can only agree temporarily to stabilize my understanding of the Dharma. But I felt it was inappropriate, so I asked the military advisor to discuss it."

    "well¡­¡­"

    Cen Wen also sighed after hearing this.

    This is adding to the chaos of understanding the Dharma!

    It¡¯s just that the Great Zen Temple today is extremely important to Cao Xuan.  If the Great Zen Temple is evacuated, the strength of the entire Yanzhou will drop a lot.  Once they confront Wang Qi's army, they will inevitably lose.

    For a moment, Cen Wen was no longer as determined to start a war as he had just been. He even felt troubled.

    Cen Wen thought for a while and said: "My lord, please invite Duke Cheng to come and discuss the situation. Duke Cheng is well-informed. Perhaps Duke Cheng can give you a more appropriate strategy."

    Cao Xuan nodded after hearing this, and immediately ordered the soldiers to notify the chief registrar Cheng Lin to discuss the matter.

    Not long after, Cheng Lin entered.

    He is very busy these days and is a little older. After standing still, he said: "My lord."

    Cao Xuan nodded to Cen Wen. Cen Wen quickly explained the general situation of Wufa's mission. Finally, Cen Wen said: "Mr. Cheng, things are very difficult to handle when it comes to Xiang Peng. If he is not released, the Dazen Temple will make peace with him."  We had a falling out. Letting him go would be equivalent to cutting off an arm, which would be chilling. Now, what should we do?"

    Cao Xuan said: "Mr. Cheng, I don't know how to deal with this for a moment. Wang Qi just deliberately disgusts me and targets us on purpose. He did it on purpose."

    Cheng Lin suddenly raised her brows, stroking her beard under her chin and thinking.

    ?Things are indeed complicated.

    After thinking for a long time, Cheng Lin took a deep breath and said: "My lord, it is definitely impossible to start a war. Now, even with the help of Dazen Temple, our overall strength cannot compare with Wang Qi."

    "What's more, now that Wang Qi no longer has the constraints of Zhang Shiqi, it is even more difficult for our family to compete. Furthermore, the withdrawal of the Great Zen Temple will also have a great impact on us. The power of the Great Zen Temple must be united and condensed  Under the lord's command."

    "The problem right now is Xiang Peng."

    "My suggestion is that we don't give up on Xiang Peng, but let Xiang Peng willingly join Wang Qi's command. Let's let Xiang Peng keep an eye on Wang Qi's whereabouts and observe the situation in Qi for our lord."

    Cheng Lin's eyes were sharp and she said: "As of now, it can only be like this. Although this is an act of giving up on Xiang Peng, in fact, he has not given up. It can be regarded as a little bit of saving."

    Cen Wen said: "Actually, this is tantamount to giving up. This is deceiving oneself and others."

    Cheng Lin said: "No matter what, it still gives Xiang Peng a glimmer of hope. This situation is better thanIt would be better to just throw Xiang Peng away, and he would feel better.  "

    Cen Wen nodded after hearing this and said no more.  He also agreed with Cheng Lin that he could only deceive himself and others in this way, at least to give Xiang Peng a glimmer of hope.

    After hearing this, Cao Xuan thought about it and admitted that this was the best way.

    There is no other way.

    Cao Xuan said in a deep voice: "I summoned Xiang Peng and told him about this matter."

    "No!"

    Cheng Lin shook her head and said: "My lord, let me go with this matter. I will ask Xiang Peng to agree to it, and I will also inform you about it, but in a different way. After I finalize the matter, my lord will come back to make arrangements. Then my lord,  Open your heart and think carefully about Xiang Peng, and things will be much easier to handle."

    After a pause, Cheng Lin added: "In short, what the lord has to do is to say that he does not want Xiang Peng to go, and will respect Xiang Peng's opinions, etc., and mainly win over Xiang Peng."

    After hearing this, Cao Xuan generally understood that Cheng Lin was going to be the bad guy and let him be the good guy.

    Only in this way can people's hearts be saved.

    It won¡¯t lose people¡¯s hearts.

    Cao Xuan stood up, bowed his hands to Cheng Lin, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cheng."

    Cheng Lin quickly dodged away, and he said sternly: "I am your lord's servant. If your lord is worried, I will share your worries. This is as it should be. Please don't offend me. Please give me good news, my lord."  , I will make Xiang Peng go there willingly."

    Cao Xuandao: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."

    "Thank you for your hard work!"

    After Cheng Lin answered, she turned and left.  After he left the camp, he went straight to Xiang Peng's camp, but Xiang Peng was not there.  Cheng Lin inquired and learned that Xiang Peng was sharpening his halberd nearby to keep the iron halberd's blade sharp.

    After Cheng Lin found Xiang Peng, she said, "Xiang Peng, I have something to say to you."

    Xiang Peng kept holding his hands and said, "You tell me."

    Cheng Lin said: "This is a serious matter. Let's go back to the camp first and I will talk to you carefully."

    "yes!"

    Xiang Peng nodded.

    He put away his iron halberd and returned to the camp with Cheng Lin. After asking Cheng Lin to sit down, he also sat down and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are here today, but what do you want?"

    The look on Cheng Lin's old face was a little heavy as she said: "Yang Sanqian and Wu Fa went to Wang Qi's camp to blackmail Wang Qi but failed. Now that Wu Fa has returned, he has also brought back news and situations from the front line."

    Xiang Peng also looked surprised and said: "How is this possible? Yang Sanqian is the leader of the Taoist sect and a master at the Grand Master level. Wufa is also the Grand Master of the Great Zen Temple. The two of them brought so many  If the master goes, how can he fail?"

    Cheng Lin said: "Not only was it a failure, Yang Sanqian was now injured and captured. Several masters from the Zixia Mountain lineage died, and only Pu Yuanxiao was left to lead his people back to Zixia Mountain. Moreover, Pu Yuan  The reason why Xiao was able to go back was because Wang Qi let him go back to Zixia Mountain and told Zixia Mountain to give Wang Qi an explanation. Otherwise, if Yang Sanqian's life was not saved, he would also deal with Zixia Mountain."

    "Hiss!"

    Xiang Peng was shocked when he heard this.

    It¡¯s incredible.

    Is Wang Qi so powerful?

    He knew that Wang Qi¡¯s martial arts skills were powerful, but he shouldn¡¯t be so powerful. Even the great masters said that he should be captured.  Especially Wang Qi, who is not very old. He has such strength at such a young age. Who can check and balance Wang Qi in the future?

    After Xiang Peng was surprised, he thought about it for a while.  There is something wrong with this matter, because such things should not be told to him, but to Cao Xuan.

    Xiang Peng is just a personal guard.

    "Just protecting Cao Xuan."  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
