After the clenched fist hit the frame in front of him hard, Zhou Shuyuan's angry voice rang again. [+New^^+

"The prince is going to avoid the power of the capital... Once we lose the power of the capital, we will become blind in the capital... It is almost impossible to return to the capital in the future..."

As he spoke, Zhou Shuyuan seemed to have suffered some blow and became old instantly.

It is obvious that Zhou Shuyuan at this moment has begun to have no hope for his future.

After all, the power in the capital was formed by the Governor in front of him for two years and a lot of experience. Such a huge power collapsed in a blink of an eye. No one can stand it in a word.

As a subordinate, of course, the deputy didn't want to see Zhou Shuyuan just so down...

In his opinion, if even Zhou Shuyuan has no hope for his future, those who are subordinates will have no hope.

So, as soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, his deputy said excitedly: "No, Governor, we still have hope... We still have two provinces in Gan and Ning, and tens of thousands of elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers. If we manage it well, there may be millions of people... As long as we hold these strengths in our hands, Governor, you will never lose..."

"Yes, you're right. I haven't lost yet, and I won't lose..." Under the instigation of his deputy, Zhou Shuyuan finally regained some confidence on his desperate face.

Then, he ordered very decisively: "Since there is nothing to be remembered in Beijing, then we will arrive at Ganning and Ningbo early and hold Ganning and Ningbo tightly in our own hands..."

In five days, under Zhou Shuyuan's continuous urging, Zhou Shuyuan completed the journey that should have taken ten days in just five days.

Then, he walked into the Ganning Governor's Office, which had just been renovated and located in Lanzhou City with anticipation...

At the welcome banquet for Zhou Shuyuan, seeing at least half of the dozen civil and military officials in the lobby who were promoted by one, Zhou Shuyuan's confident smile became even stronger.

In his opinion, with these confidants in his hands, he will definitely be able to control all the military and political powers of Gansu and Ningbo provinces in a very short period of time.

Just when Zhou Shuyuan was sleeping in the Governor's Mansion for the first time in half a month and was about to do a big fight

A division commander under the Fifth Army suddenly came to the Governor's Office and asked to see Zhou Shuyuan.

"Gao Dejun...what is he here... I just took office and he came over. Don't you know how to avoid suspicion..." Zhou Shuyuan frowned and said to himself with dissatisfaction...

You know, this Gaode Army was the first senior officer to turn to him.

It is precisely because of his secret support that he had just come from the imperial frontier army and was the main commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army Field Division.

In the battle to capture Gan and Ning provinces, with his military achievements and his own secret running, he became the commander of the 9th Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army and the chief of staff of the Fifth Army, and he was very powerful.

However, because of the purge operation launched by Prince Wei Zheng, he was not qualified to serve as the chief of staff of the Fifth Army because of his military achievements. He was directly demoted and used and became the commander of the Ninth Division.

However, even if the position of Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army is gone, this Gaode Army can still be regarded as a high position in the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Such a person comes to him at this time and tells everyone that Gao Dejun is his own person...

Of course, no matter what Zhou Shuyuan thought, he even cursed Gao Dejun for being stupid. Since the other party had already come to the Governor's Office, he should see him. Otherwise, he would give others a feeling that there was no silver here. Of course, it would also make these people feel disappointed with their old subordinates and confidants...

So, after just a brief hesitation, Zhou Shuyuan walked towards the living room of the Governor's Office...

After some courtesy, Gao Dejun, who confirmed that there were no outsiders in the living room, said directly to Zhou Shuyuan: "Governor General. The General of the Monkey King came here so early, but there was actually a reason... "Governor General, you know, the General of the Monkey King came from the side of the imperial border army... When he was in the imperial border army, there were many friends and brothers... A few days ago, a brother who was an officer in the new army of the imperial court suddenly found me and said that there was a very important thing to see you. Governor General..."

"At that time, Governor, you had not taken office. The General of the United States arranged him in his home without authorization. Now, Governor, you are here, and the General of the United States hurriedly brought him over... Now, this person is among the guards of the General of the United States. I wonder if you want to meet him..."

"The new officer of the imperial army... see me..." After Gao Dejun said he wanted to, Zhou Shuyuan's brows immediately frowned and asked with confusion...

Gao Dejun nodded and affirmed: "Yes, the Governor... As far as the last general knows, the brother of the last general directly commanded 20,000 troops in the new imperial army, which can be said to be of high power... If calculated by grade, it is at least a second-rank..."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyuan's frowning became deeper...

After some thought, he finally decided to say, "Since the other party has come, it's unreasonable to see if he doesn't see him... I'm going to see if he has such a high official, he has come to the territory of my Tiger and Leopard Army alone. What secrets and conspiracies are there..."

What Zhou Shuyuan did not expect was that the other party had just walked to Zhou Shuyuan and gave Zhou Shuyuan a big gift.

Then, under Zhou Shuyuan's inexplicable gaze, he said with great compliment: "My congratulations to Lord Zhou...Mo Cheng came to the Governor's Office this time to congratulate Lord Zhou..."

"Congratulations, are you mistaken... I am the Governor of Gan Ning appointed by the Tiger and Leopard Army and has nothing to do with the court... No, with the style of the court, I will never send anyone here for no reason... I understand, if nothing unexpected happens, the court must have made you want to disagree with me and the prince... I happened to be demoted by the prince... With the style of the court, I will never miss such a good opportunity..."

Facing Zhou Shuyuan's incisive answer, the court envoy showed an embarrassing smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhou Shuyuan knew that he had guessed it right.

Then, without thinking, he refused and said, "If this is the case, then you can go back... By the way, tell you the emperor that even if I withdraw from the Tiger and Leopard Army, I will not be able to join the court... In my opinion, the court is not a match for the Tiger and Leopard Army at all. Joining the court now is no different from dying..."

Faced with Zhou Shuyuan's unscrupulous contempt for the court, the embarrassment on the messenger's face was replaced by anger.

After taking a deep breath, he retorted with dissatisfaction: "Just, Lord Zhou, you are too confident... Before the imperial court formed a new army, it was indeed not a match for the Tiger and Leopard Army. But now it is different. You have the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the imperial court has a new army. No one can tell who wins and loses in the end."

After saying that, he didn't give Zhou Shuyuan time to respond, so he continued to ask: "Of course, these are not what we considered... Since the final meeting has come, Lord Zhou, don't you want to listen to the conditions offered by the court for you..."

When the other party told who the court's new army won and who lost, Zhou Shuyuan's eyes flashed through a look full of differences.

Although he was not moved, Zhou Shuyuan had already moved his words.

He was right. A year ago, the court was indeed not a rival to the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, the continuous changes in the court seemed to be narrowing the huge gap between the two step by step...

If the situation continues to develop like this, it is hard to say whether the court, which is undergoing earth-shaking changes, will surpass the Tiger and Leopard Army in its overall strength...
