"Speaking of so much, in the final analysis, it was all caused by that bastard Chen Shaojun. If he hadn't kidnapped the Princess Yan Xinmo of the Shui Tribe without permission, how could he have provoked the Black Dragon Lord to go to war and cause this situation. The Jiangnan Shui Tribe and we coexist peacefully.
For a long time, there has been no big conflict. It wasn't until this guy showed up that such a big thing happened. Moreover, we originally had talks with the Shui Tribe, but the Black Dragon Lord gave us three days to explain this matter.
There is still much room for improvement, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.”
"But so many people from the Shui Tribe have died now. Not to mention the group of people killed by Dong Guan, the Shui Tribe will never let go of us. Although they have retreated now, they will come back soon, and
It will only become more powerful than it is now. If it weren't for this kid, how could it have caused the current disaster?"
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded in the hall, instantly pointing all the fingers at Chen Shaojun.
"Hongbo!"
Outside the main hall, Chen Shaojun's expression turned cold, and he immediately recognized that at such an important time, he had the leisure to avenge his personal vengeance, and the only one who used such an important meeting to slander him was Hong Bo.
"Yes, problems that could have been solved through negotiation can now only be faced with force. It's all the trouble caused by that kid."
In the city lord's palace, there were naturally military commanders who followed Hong Bo, and they immediately echoed.
"That's right. We lost so many people, and that kid should be blamed. If it weren't for what he did, there would never have been so many casualties."
Another general from Jiangnan also echoed.
The young master's dissatisfaction was seen by all of them. Ever since this boy appeared, the young master in Hongzhou City had become dispensable and had no sense of existence.
Not only that, in addition to Chen Shaojun, his father Chen Zongxi also threatened the young master's father, Jiangnan Prefect Hong Tao, which greatly weakened the prefect's power.
The father and son are going to leave after all. Jiangnan still belongs to the prefect and his son. Not to mention, one thing Hong Bo said is right. Today's incident is indeed caused by Chen Shaojun. There is no slander in this.
He, even they, took this matter seriously.
As soon as several people said these words, the hall of the city lord's palace suddenly became quiet, and the originally bustling crowd disappeared instantly. Everyone smelled the smell of a power struggle in the court.
"Hong Bo, you bastard, please keep your mouth clean. What do you mean by the trouble we caused? Are the floods in Jiangnan caused by us? Didn't people drown in Jiangnan before we came? That's right.
Are those who drowned also counted on us?"
It was either unbearable or unbearable. As soon as Hong Bo finished speaking, Xiao Wo immediately couldn't stand listening anymore and screamed angrily on Chen Shaojun's shoulder.
It did not use its previous invisibility ability. It jumped directly from Chen Shaojun's shoulders, drew a huge arc in the air, and landed directly on the only table in the middle of the conference hall. A pair of eyes stared fiercely at the person in front of it.
Hongbo.
"what?!"
This sudden change shocked everyone in the hall.
In an instant, everyone's eyes from all directions were focused on Xiaowo.
Although Little Snail also joined the battle with the Shui Tribe, it has always been in a state of invisibility. Few civil servants and generals in Jiangnan really know it. However, it is clearly a snail, but it has a huge appearance, and
There was also a colorful volute, which immediately attracted everyone.
Little Snail didn't pay any attention to them at all. At this moment, its only eyes were the ugly face of Hong Bo in front of it.
"...Also, Lord Black Dragon only said he would give you three days, does that mean he won't come after three days? I'm going to kill you in two days. If you don't come today, you won't come tomorrow, or in two days.
Will you be able to survive? And didn’t you yourselves hear what Black Dragon Lord said? Regardless of whether you move or not, and whether the three-day period is up or not, they will find a way to resurrect Shuizu Wu Zhiqi and recreate the ancient times.
The great flood. This was just a delaying tactic from the beginning. The Black Dragon Lord and the Shui Tribe have never thought of letting you go, yet you still dare to talk nonsense here."
Xiaowo stared at Hong Bo, completely furious.
"Humph, that's not what they said. So it's just a matter of a thousand miles. Although Black Dragon Lord only gave you three days to prepare, one more day will give you more time to prepare. Now you and that boy Chen Shaojun have done this.
This kind of thing caused Lord Black Dragon to launch an attack in advance and caught us off guard. If it hadn't been for this, we wouldn't have had so many people die today. You can't deny this, right?"
Hong Bo responded, with a sinister look on his face.
To put it bluntly, he just wants to find trouble with Chen Shaojun and the others, so what? What if other people see through it? This is Jiangnan, it is his territory, and he does not believe that Chen Shaojun, an outsider, can do anything to him?
As soon as Hong Bo's voice fell, many generals from Dashang frowned.
Many people knew Hong Bo's thoughts, but everyone had to admit that although he was deliberately looking for trouble, he was indeed right on this matter. In military terms, the difference between one more day and one less day is really huge.
Yes, if we had an extra day to prepare, we would have saved a lot of lives.
"Humph, is that so? That's fine if you want to say that. Then let me ask you, what do you think about Dong Guan? If it weren't for us, do you think she would appear in Jiangnan? As early as in the capital, she went directly to the sea to go to the wilderness.
If we hadn't brought Dongguan here, even if we gave you thirty days, how far would you be able to prepare? Even if the entire Hongzhou City is destroyed and turned into a lake by then, you still dare to do it now
Blame us.”
There are some things that Chen Shaojun is not comfortable talking about, but Xiaowo is different. She has no taboos.
Although it was Dong Guan who took action, so what, Dong Guan would have appeared in Jiangnan without them?
The bad things have to be counted, and the good things have to be counted, right?
As soon as Xiaowo's voice fell, the entire meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion fell silent, and even Hong Bo choked on his words.
He did know a little about Chen Shaojun. Indeed, to a certain extent it could be said that Dong Guan was indeed brought to Jiangnan by Chen Shaojun and the others.
"Why are not you talking?"
Xiaowo asked, with an aggressive look on his face.
"There are also the six divine generals under the Black Dragon Lord. They are all strong men in the sky realm. If it weren't for us and the kid behind me took action, after three days, you would be 'prepared' and you wouldn't know that you were going to die."
How many people! Not to mention, even Yang Jiao died in my hands. It’s okay if you are not grateful. Fortunately, you still have the nerve to throw the blame on us. "
Xiaowo glanced at the people around him and said sarcastically.
If they hadn't rushed over in time, they wouldn't have known how many bad things these people would say about them behind their backs.
"This...god pet is right. This matter really has nothing to do with Mr. Chen. Sooner or later, something will break out. How can we blame Mr. Chen?"
"This is indeed the case. If others don't know the strength of the six great generals, how can we people in Jiangnan not know it? Without Mr. Chen, who of you is sure that you can easily deal with them?"
"Mr. Chen, thank you very much. What happened just now was indeed our fault. Don't take the family's words seriously."
"If any of you want to slander Mr. Chen again or speak rudely to Mr. Chen, then don't blame me for being rude. Everyone can see the right and wrong. We people in the Jiangnan area still have some dignity."
…
In the crowd, many civil servants and generals finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak out.
Black is black and white is white. Although the prefect is a feudal official and the master of a party, he is still not able to cover the sky with one hand. The Great Shang court is not stupid or corrupt to that point.
"How dare you!"
Seeing this scene, Hong Bo was furious.
Are all these guys blind? This is an outsider. They are from Jiangnan and are in the same group. They actually bent their elbows outward to help that bastard kid speak.
On the side, Hong Tao, the governor of Jiangnan, also frowned slightly, his face looking a little ugly.
In front of so many people, although it was Hong Bo who made the rude remarks, he also knew that this boy was a little out of line, but after all, he was his son, and he had been silent by the side. To a certain extent, he acquiesced to Hong Bo's behavior. To put it bluntly,
Yes, that's actually what he meant.
These people did not give Hong Bo face and helped an outsider, which was tantamount to losing face for him, the governor of Jiangnan.
"enough!"
Seeing that the situation was about to reach a stalemate, and that if the fight continued, it would lead to a rift, Chen Shaojun's father, Chen Zongxi, finally spoke.
Although he was born in Confucianism and Taoism, and the so-called "scholar is useless", when Chen Zongxi opened his mouth, his voice naturally carried a kind of great majesty, and even Hong Tao, the governor of Jiangnan, was suppressed.
After all, he is a Beijing official and a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is a third-rank official of the imperial court. He is in charge of various matters related to the world, household loans, water conservancy, and people's livelihood. He has greater power in this regard than Jiang Tao, a feudal official.
Much more.
Moreover, after seeing Chen Zongxi's "non-contact with all methods" and confronting a strong man like Black Dragon Lord head-on, even the generals had a lot more respect for Chen Zongxi.
Any person who can "avoid all laws" actually has attainments in rules that are of a mythical level, enough for all of them to look up to.
"We will talk about these things later. Today is the military council, and state affairs come first. If you have any other opinions, we will talk about it later."
Chen Zongxi's eyes were majestic, he scanned the people in the hall and said in a deep voice.
"If anyone is arguing about personal grudges here again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Master Chen is right. The most important thing today is to deal with the crisis at hand. As for the other things, we can discuss them later."
Hong Tao, the governor of Jiangnan, also stood up at this time and smoothed things over.
Although he was vaguely hostile to Chen Zongxi's existence, he was a man who had been in officialdom for a long time and knew what to do at this time.
When the two top officials in the Jiangnan region spoke, others naturally did not dare to make any sense. Even Hong Bo just snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said nothing more.
