Cao Yun never underestimated Zhou Yifu. He has been the prime minister in Daqi for decades and is the first seat of the Presbyterian Church of a wealthy family. In front of such a person, it is necessary to be careful. This plan designed by Tian Fen does seem to be seamless and intimate, but Cao Yun did not dare to make sure that the other party really believed it.

After hijacking himself, he threw himself in Shiquan Lake for a month. This is a test and survey of himself, or during this period, they are confirming from all aspects whether his actions are consistent with their guesses. Cao Yun was not worried about this, and the other party could not find anything.

He was tempting himself, and he was slowly seducing his opponent bit by bit. This was a process of competing for patience. Even if both sides were already anxious, no one dared to show his fragile side. As Zhou Yifu said, they were all thousand-year-old foxes. Whoever showed a little flaw first would definitely be the one who took advantage of them.

In fact, both sides have a common worry, that is, they do not want to really fight Qi into chaos and damage their vitality. They both want to complete a thunder-like strike in a very short time, so as to completely defeat the opponent and achieve their own goals.

So Zhou Yifu thought of himself, with their strength in politics and local areas combined with his influence in the military, and with a thunderous momentum, he pushed towards Chang'an and concentrated the battle in Chang'an and quickly resolved it.

Tian Fen used the other party's intentions to gather the power of the wealthy families into Luoyang and destroy it in one go.

Both sides had the same idea and had the same end, but one expected battlefield was Luoyang, while the other was in Chang'an.

What are Cao Tiancheng, Cao Yun, Tian Fen and others most afraid of? What they are most afraid of is that Zhou Yifu gave up and launched a rebellion in various parts of Daqi. That would definitely be a disaster for Daqi, because the places where aristocratic families gathered were basically the most prosperous parts of Daqi. Broken these places would be equivalent to breaking the backbone of Qi. In such chaos, no one can say that they could control the situation anymore. Why did the Tang Empire fall into destruction back then? Isn’t it because rebellions in various places and the empire put out fires everywhere, but they always pressed down the gourd to float up, which eventually led to the rise of the four major forces, and finally destroyed the country and divided the world into four parts?

The current Daqi is not as good as the unified Tang Empire at that time.

In comparison, Cao Yun was not worried that a wealthy family like Zhou Yifu would collude with the Ming people and attack inside and outside. The land of the Ming Kingdom could not accommodate the existence of wealthy families at all. Their policies were desperately curbing the soil produced by the wealthy families from the very beginning. Although there were many gentry and wealthy families in the Ming Kingdom, they were just rich and could not be powerful. Such a pattern was incompatible with the demands of the wealthy families in Qi Kingdom. People like Zhou Yifu could naturally see it very clearly. If they colluded with the Ming people, they would have to end up with their own destruction.

So Zhou Yifu also wanted to end the civil war in the shortest time, because the current Daqi, both the emperor and the wealthy families, were very clear that they needed to accumulate strength to deal with the Ming people.

This is a very strange thing. Both parties have the same demands and goals, but they are completely unable to go to the same place. Before moving to the final goal, what both parties want to do is to destroy the other party.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been here.

Cao Yun felt that he was approaching his goal, and Zhou Yifu's vigilance towards him was disappearing little by little. He believed that what he expected was the momentum that he was eagerly trying to force himself to go on the path he expected to go.

People like him will not trust anyone's promises, and their language is pale and powerless in front of him. He will only believe that in the face of the general trend, manpower is irresistible. Just like now, Da Qi seems to be in danger. If he does not come forward to turn the tide, the fall of Qi will inevitably be inevitable.

He created this momentum and then he would feel at ease that even if he didn't want to, he could only walk to the top of the wave and overcome all obstacles and grab what he wanted for him.

It is really painful to deal with such people. Zhou Yifu and Tian Fen are the same type of people. Or Tian Fen should be better because all Tian Fen's conspiracy is based on Zhou Yifu's conspiracy.

Maybe Zhou Yifu is old and he won’t think so thoroughly, right? This is Da Qi’s luck.

The whole fish banquet was indeed wonderful. In terms of food and fine food, no one can compare it to the wealthy families. Only families like them have time, energy, money, and various changes in these indifferent things. In the past month, Cao Yun felt that his appetite had been raised. In his mansion, there was no such enjoyment. It was not that he had no money, but that he did not have such hobbies.

"I want to meet my family." Cao Yun looked at Zhou Yifu with a red face, and the other party looked in a very good mood.

"Your Highness, they are all in Luoyang and are living well. As long as you arrive in Luoyang, you will naturally see them." Zhou Yifu said with a smile: "You will become our Emperor, and your son will be the prince of our New Daqi and the future successor. Who dares to make things difficult for them?"

"Are you in Luoyang?" Cao Yun smiled bitterly: "As long as I appear in Luoyang, I will never have any way back."

"Your Highness, from the day we were born, we have no way to go." Zhou Yifu said: "This is the luck of us, but it is also the greatest misfortune. We can only move forward, keep moving forward, and take a step back, maybe it is a deep abyss. Your Highness, have you thought about it?"

After a long silence, Cao Yun took a deep breath: "Tomorrow, we will set off for Luoyang. Daqi cannot continue to waste this kind of life, and we must end this chaos as soon as possible."

He stood up, walked into the inner room, and after a moment he walked back, holding a stack of letters in his hand, and placed them in front of Zhou Yifu: "These letters will be given to the person who received the letters for me."

"Okay!" Zhou Yifu smiled and nodded, clapped his palms, summoned a person, delivered the letter to the man, and ordered: "Use the best horse, the right person, deliver the letter to the recipient as quickly as possible."

"As for order!" The visitor took the letter and bowed and retreated.

"Don't Mr. Zhou look at the content of the letter and the person receiving the letter?" Cao Yun asked in surprise.

"I know those people in my mind. As for the content of the letter, it's better not to read it." Zhou Yifu smiled and said, "Since we have boarded the same boat, trust between each other is indispensable. More importantly, I believe that the ability of His Highness the Prince, the God of War in Daqi, is not a false reputation."

A moment later, there was a dense and difficult sound of horse hooves outside the wooden house. Cao Yun's face was calm. He knew that with the departure of these messengers who sent the letter, the most critical period for Daqi had already begun.

"Your Highness the Prince, have a good rest. Tomorrow, we will set off for Luoyang. There are all the preliminary work for you to ascend the throne. When you arrive in Luoyang, you only need to confirm it at the end. The old minister will leave first, Your Majesty." Zhou Yifu stood up with a smile, bowed and took a bow, took two steps back, then turned around and walked out.

This time, Cao Yun sat upright on the chair, did not get up, did not return the gift, or even spoke.

The lights inside the house were dim, and the princess walked out of the inner room and gently rubbed Cao Yun's shoulders. Cao Yun could feel the hands trembling violently. He reached out his hand speechlessly and held the princess's hand.

Just as Zhou Yifu and Cao Yun were enjoying a full-fish banquet in the wooden building on the shore of Shiquan Lake, Bian Wushuang was meeting a guest from Qi in the General's Mansion of Jinghu County, Chu State thousands of miles away.

This is not the first time he has seen Cao Hui, but he has never been so serious this time. If he had just been perfunctory before, then now he is beginning to really consider the other party’s proposal.

"General Bian, you don't have much time." Cao Hui looked at the other party, speaking very slowly and his tone was very ordinary, but he was very oppressed with a strong oppression, which was very different from when he came to see Bian Wushuang in the past. "The Ming Dynasty has already begun to attack Chu State. Qin Feng has been operating alone for several years. Once he started, it was indeed like a thunderous moment. Chu State couldn't hold on for long. When Qin Feng's horse hooves stepped onto the capital, how much value does you have? At that time, I'm afraid Qin Feng will deal with you, right?"

"As long as I have a strong army in my hands, I have the value of existence, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty still has strong enemies, such as you Daqi. I just need to strive forward to fight against Qi State at that time, that's enough." Bian Wushuang said coldly.

"I don't think Daming Jue Shao is a wise general." Cao Hui sneered: "I don't think Daming will tolerate existence like you, and own a large army and separatist the other side. Can't you see that there are places where wealthy families stand under the jurisdiction of Daming? Don't tell me those rich and wealthy people, to put it more in a bad way. They are the fat pigs raised by the Ming court. If you want to kill one, you will kill one."

"It seems that your emperor is also planning to eradicate the wealthy families in China." Bian Wushuang said: "In your Qi Kingdom, do I have a place to stand in a cone?"

"Of course there are." Cao Hui said: "You are completely different from our wealthy families in Daqi. They are cancers and abscesses, and are sucking Daqi's blood to support themselves. You are completely different. For Daqi, the wealthy families in Qi have not only lost their value in use, but have become pests. You have great value in use. Marshal Bian, I said so nakedly, you won't feel unhappy, right?"
