Shen Yuan has been feeling conflicted these past two days.
First of all, he hadn't received any information. He had been missing for two days, and his master hadn't sent him a single message. He had no idea what to do next.
Or perhaps Chen Qing thought he had betrayed him?
In contrast to Jiangnan's indifference towards him, the White Tiger Star Officer treated him completely differently.
Just like now.
"There are three directions for expansion to the southeast. One is the Yunzhou area in Jiangnan, which allows for a direct invasion of Jiangnan. The two constellations, Pleiades Rooster and Moon Crow, will lead the troops there. Currently, the border of Yunzhou will be temporarily defined by the mountain range, with Zhangzhou City serving as the defensive pass. The other is Tiannan Pass in Jiangnan, where the imperial court is bounded by the Tianjiang River. Lou Jingou and Wei Tuzhi will be there to set up the defense line, while Zi Huohou and Shen Shuiyuan will be responsible for clearing out any remaining Western Navy forces within the southeast."
Shen Yuan stared blankly at the other person. This guy was explaining their setup to him without any hesitation, wasn't he worried at all that he would reveal it?
Thinking of this, he tried to ask about the details, "Why are they allocated this way? Are there any differences between these constellations?"
The White Tiger Star Officer gave the other party a flirtatious look, then laughed and said, " The Maori Rooster has the Eye of the Heavenly Yang; once dawn breaks, no one within a thousand miles can escape its gaze. The Biyue Crow has the Moon Eye; with the help of moonlight, no one within a thousand miles can be hidden from it. Jiangnan lacks military strength, but it has many experts. What we need to guard against is your master coming in person."
"I see." Shen Yuan nodded, and was about to ask anything else when he saw that the other person had already taken off their clothes.
"It's time to rest."
Shen Yuan bit his lip, looked at the sky, and said softly, "In the middle of the day."
"Hey?" The other person, with her impressively large breasts, walked directly up to Shen Yuan: "You people from Jiangnan live so well, don't you take a lunch break?"
Shen Yuan: "."
Is lunch break the time for this?
"No. How many times do I have to do it to Fusion that bloodline?" Shen Yuan retreated repeatedly.
"What?" The other person leaned closer, laughing teasingly, "Tired of it?"
"No," Shen Yuan blushed, unable to bring himself to say no, but he couldn't bring himself to say it anymore.
Having tasted the sweetness, he was already indulging in the pleasures of sex, and this was only the beginning. Moreover, for some reason, despite the saying that lust is like a knife scraping bone, leaving a man weaker with each encounter, he found himself becoming increasingly energetic with this woman, feeling as if he could go on and on.
Something just doesn't feel right.
"Isn't it enough that you don't have any?" The woman ripped off Shen Yuan's clothes. "The weather is nice, the light is good, it's a good opportunity for you to take a good look at me."
"Why am I looking at you?" Shen Yuan turned his head away.
"You have to be careful when you go in, like before when it was too dark and I couldn't find it for ages."
"Can you please stop using such foul language in broad daylight?"
"This means that these foul words can be used at night."
"You"
"Hahaha," the woman found it increasingly amusing and pounced on him, instantly filling the room with a scene of spring in the air, making some people in the distance blush.
I'm talking to you guys.
Hearing the groans coming from inside, Chen Ying blushed deeply. "What's so interesting? Does it need a whole group of people watching?"
"Isn't this to find weaknesses?" Chen Qing said seriously, then beckoned to Shen Qi, " Shen Qi, um... cough... could you adjust the angle a bit, like going around in a circle? That way we can observe more carefully."
"This..." Shen Qi frowned, "Won't we be found out?"
"You think she didn't notice?" Chen Qing rolled her eyes at her. "She doesn't care at all. You think she was talking to that blockhead Shen Yuan? She was talking to us!"
"Is that so, my lord? Where would you like to see?"
"I want to see buttocks!" Shen Shiyi shouted.
"That's enough!!!" Chen Ying shouted, her face flushed.
"Ahem." Chen Qing also rolled her eyes at Shen Shiyi: "Kid, go away. Is this something you should be watching?"
"You can't look either!" Chen Ying said angrily, grabbing the floating eye in her hand.
"Ouch, girl, be gentle!" Shen Qi immediately grimaced.
When you activate one of your eyes, it's connected to your own eye, and the grip is incredibly painful.
"You're showing me all this nonsense, aren't you afraid of getting a sty?" Chen Ying glared at the group.
"Ahem," Chen Qing coughed lightly, "Well, let's get down to business first."
Shen Er also withdrew his gaze, stroking his chin, and said, "This woman is even more..."
"Huh?" Shen San, Shiyi, and Chen Qing all looked over at once.
"Oh, it's nothing." Shen Er realized he had misspoke and coughed lightly. "What was Master trying to say?"
Chen Qing pursed her lips and finally said, "What do you think that woman meant? Was it a trap or something else?"
"It shouldn't be a trap." Shen Er shook his head. "Everything is as you predicted, my lord. The Heavenly Court ultimately chose the Southern Wilderness, but they made arrangements in advance. We never expected that they would start plotting against the Southeast two years ago."
"With the Southeast Pass guarding it now, breaking through to cause trouble for the Heavenly Court will probably be quite difficult."
"So that woman was observing?" Chen Qing asked, stroking his chin.
"Judging from her attitude, that's certainly true. The fact that she was sent down to carry out this task indicates that she doesn't hold a high position, but judging from her performance that day, she is extremely capable. I'm afraid even if the lord himself were to take action, he might not be able to defeat her."
Chen Qing nodded. That woman was very strong; her strength was probably comparable to that of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. If he didn't use the Dao Fruit of the Sword, he probably wouldn't have even a 10% chance of winning.
Such a skilled person was used for this kind of undercover work, which suggests that he was being ostracized and targeted, and must have harbored resentment.
Moreover, this time, in order to build up its army ahead of schedule, the Heavenly Court killed all the demons in Heavenly Lake to extract their blood essence. It is normal for the White Tiger, as one of the native demons, to feel some resentment.
"Then why doesn't she just surrender directly?" Chen Ying said coldly, "Now is a golden opportunity. Surrendering to Jiangnan would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather; it's a good opportunity."
"It's not that simple," Chen Qing said with amusement. "The Heavenly Court is a powerful force that has existed for hundreds of millions of years, while our Jiangnan has only been rising for a few years. With a great calamity approaching, even if we are being mistreated now, it is still a platform that seems relatively stable. How could we easily choose to leave?"
"So what she means is..." Chen Ying frowned.
"Let's wait and see." Chen Qing smiled and said, "The information has been given to us, which is equivalent to conveying goodwill. Whether we can deal with it depends on our ability. If we sit idly by and let them occupy the southeast, and let the Heavenly Court establish a foothold in the Southern Barbarians, then she will not hesitate to cut off contact with us and forcibly take Shen Yuan there."
"If we want to cooperate, we must demonstrate some strength!"
"I see." Chen Ying nodded; this was indeed the way a normal person would act.
"Then, my lord, should we recall Xu Hu?" Shen San asked.
Now that the West Sea Army has suffered heavy losses and will be difficult to recover in a short time, the only force capable of directly confronting the Heavenly Court's strength is the main force of Jiangnan.
But once Xu Hu returns, it's practically the same as giving up on the Northern Wasteland!
