Chapter 460 The Crisis in Aolong Navy

When he heard Ye Kaihuai ask about the appearance of Wang Widow Wang, Long Xingyun immediately said with his eyes as if he was injected with chicken blood, "Of course it looks good. Otherwise, would I risk being chased by my wife? I tell you that Wang Widow Wang said he was a widow, but in fact he was a virgin. I heard that his husband accidentally fell off the horse on the day he married her. Not to mention the bridal chamber, he didn't even worship the world. But for this reason, she was considered an ominous person by her husband and her parents' family, and no one wanted to accept her. She was desperate and had to come to Fengyang with her dowry, opened a tofu house, and started her life again."

"You, you actually pretend to be public and private, and use Feng Yang's intelligence department to help you collect information about a little widow," Ye Kaihuai pointed at Long Xingyun angrily and said.

"Don't be angry, I didn't pretend to be public and private. You also know that there are many spies from other forces in Fengyang City, so we must understand and verify the situation of all the permanent residents in Fengyang City..."

"...That's good. My most annoying is to pretend to be private. But you can't go and see her because of sympathy, right?" Ye Kaihuai suddenly asked Long Xingyun with a strange expression.

But at this time, Long Xingyun lowered his head and didn't see Ye Kaihuai's expression. Otherwise, he would never say the next thing: "It's not all. When I saw her, I thought she was a gentle woman."

"Your wife is also a gentle woman. You don't think of her as your wife, right?" Ye Kaihuai said suddenly inexplicably. Although Long Xingyun felt strange, he didn't think much about it and replied casually: "Is she a gentle woman? A tiger..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from behind: "Hmph..." He looked at Ye Kaihuai with his hands on his forehead and said, "I can't save you."

"Haha..." Long Xingyun laughed dryly, suddenly jumped up and wanted to run. But as soon as he jumped up, the man behind him who was ready reached out and grabbed the back of his neck.

"Madam, Madam, give me some face for you." Long Xingyun said repeatedly.

"...Okay, I will give you some face. Lord, please borrow an empty room for it." Mrs. Long said softly to Ye Kaihuai.

"Ah, follow this road and turn left to the first room. Then, Mrs. Long, Zhou Shang and I are innocent. If Xingyun says that he is with us, don't believe it." Ye Kaihuai said hurriedly. Zhou Shang on the side also nodded repeatedly.

"Please rest assured, Lord, I know what I know." Mrs. Long was blessed with Ye Kaihuai, turned around and carried Long Xingyun's collar and left. Long Xingyun did not dare to struggle, but turned his head to ask for help, and looked at Ye Kaihuai and Zhou Shang. Ye Kaihuai and Zhou Shang turned their heads with great ruthlessness and looked at him.

"I will die if my fellow Taoist is not dead. This is your housework, and we can't interfere." Ye Kaihuai and Zhou Shang found an excuse for not taking action to save themselves.

"Madam, Madam, please listen to my explanation. There is a reason for this." Long Xingyun's anxious voice gradually faded away, and Ye Kaihuai and Zhou Shang were relieved at the same time.

As Zhou Shang expected, chaos began to appear in Aolong's Navy at this time. Just when Long Shouxiao planted his confidants into various armies of Aolong's Navy, a rumor appeared. The rumor claimed that Long Shouxiao was unwilling to live under the crowd for a long time and planned to kill his brother to the throne, and Long Shouzhi and Long Shouyong died with their eyes closed.

This world is an era where benevolence and righteousness is important. Even if you are not a benevolent person, you still hope that others are benevolent persons. And killing your brother to the top has obviously exceeded the moral limit that people can accept.

And regardless of the truth or falsehood of this rumor, the former officers in the Aolong Navy who lost power because of Long Shouxiao's behavior of inserting confidants took advantage of their past prestige and began to incite their former subordinates to join him.

When Long Shouxiao learned that someone was inciting the troops to leave, he was so angry that he drew his sword on the spot and wanted to kill the inciting people. Fortunately, Xiao Moke was present and took a lot of effort to persuade Long Shouxiao, who was infuriated. Xiao Moke said to Long Shouxiao seriously: "You do this just to confirm what was said in the previous rumors."

"But I feel unhappy if those bastards take people away." Long Shouxiao said indignantly. Since killing Long Shouzhi and Long Shouyong, Xiao Moke's accomplice has been regarded as his conspirator and will not hide anything from Xiao Moke.

"You have to endure it even if you are unhappy. Now is the time to establish your prestige. Never destroy your future because of this little thing."

"But let those people go so easily..."

"It's good that those people have left, so they can save you from stabbing you in the back in the future."

"But those people walked in and took away many veterans."

"Hey, what's the matter? We have territory, people, we can just recruit you without soldiers. We can just train you without veterans. Now Shenlan has been beaten back to her hometown, I believe she will be honest for a while. The True Demon Empire is an alliance with you, and you have time to train you."

"What about Feng Yang? Do you think he will make trouble with us?"

"Even if he wants to make trouble with us, he still needs that capital. Don't you think an army that has been established for less than a year will be the opponent of our two coalition forces?"

"This..." Long Shouxiao was stunned when he heard this.

"Don't worry about Feng Yang. Their navy has not been established for a long time and will not cause trouble for us. As long as we don't provoke him, there will be no problem. I think you should think of a way to make the entire Aolong Navy agree with your current status as soon as possible. This is your top priority."

"I don't know that I should hurry up on this matter, but those people are just rude and don't get into it."

"Then I want to make them agree with your method. If it really doesn't work, let them go as far as they go, just don't get in front of us."

"No, they are all old men in the army and have a high prestige. If you follow your method, the Aolong Navy will at least lose one-third of the loss, and we can't afford it."

"Since it's hard, then let's be soft." Seeing that a plan was not done, Xiao Moke's eyes turned and he had another plan.

"What's the solution?"

"Wait until the evening..." Xiao Moke attached himself to Long Shouxiao's ear and whispered his own solution. Long Shouxiao's eyes lit up and he nodded frequently to express Xiao Moke's plan.

After dinner, the old people Long Shouxiao mentioned were gathered together to discuss the future of their people. Long Shouzhi and Long Shouyong had too many suspicions about the deaths of Long Shouzhi and Long Shouyong, and the rumors were rumored and had eyes, which made these people who were loyal to Long Shouzhi and Long Shouyong doubt the living Long Shouxiao.

Everyone was discussing what to do next? Then someone was circulating a message outside that Long Shouxiao asked everyone to speak. When everyone heard this, they looked at the oldest among them. The person who was seen by everyone coughed a few times and said to everyone: "Since the Eighth Prince summoned him, how can we, as subordinates, not leave?" After that, the man followed the people to the place where Long Shouxiao lived. As soon as everyone saw it, they hurriedly followed.

In a short while, the place where Long Shouxiao lived was full of people. Looking at the twenty people in front of him, Long Shouxiao said straight to the point: "The Fourth Brother once mentioned to me in front of him that he wanted to take all of us to surrender to Lord Fengyang. I didn't agree on this matter, and even had a big fight with the Fourth Brother. Now that the Fourth Brother is dead, there are rumors in the army that I killed the Fourth Brother. I know that no matter how I explain it now, in the eyes of some people, I just make a quibble, so I won't explain. I want to use democratic methods to solve this kind of thing. Let you be a witness."

"Please don't say that. There are indeed some unstable morale in the army now, but this situation is only temporary. It will be fine after a while..."

"Don't persuade me. Now there is a situation of fragmentation in Aolong's territory. The eldest prince and the second prince are in power, but our forces on our side cannot even catch up with Feng Yangling. The death of the fourth brother is even worse for us. It is estimated that it will take no time for us to fight. Our soldiers will run away without anyone else."

"Your Highness Eighth Highness should not be so discouraged. It is better to talk about what you said just now to solve the current predicament."

"My solution is very simple. Come and go freely. If you believe in me, stay; if you don't believe in me, leave, and I will never force you. But after leaving, if you meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be the result of endless death. I will say ugly words in front of you."

When Long Shouxiao heard this, the person who had doubts about Long Shouxiao in his heart began to consider the authenticity of the rumors he had heard before. If it was really as the rumors said, Long Shouxiao would do everything possible to take the Aolong Navy into his hands, and would not say the words of freedom. Yes, when he first took office, he did appoint some confidants, but think about it carefully, who would not appoint a few people who were close to him when he took office?

Long Shoufei used to give people the impression that he was a reckless man. The reckless man could have a few lies. This inertial way of thinking made people who were originally suspicious of Long Shoufei choose to believe him.

Looking at the changes in the eyes of everyone in front of him, Long Shouxiao admired Xiao Moke more and more. The reactions of these people in front of him were almost as expected. Unfortunately, this kind of person was not his subordinate. While Long Shouxiao was shocked by Xiao Moke's talent, he also began to be wary of Xiao Moke.

"Don't argue, I've decided. By the morning of tomorrow, I will announce this decision to the entire army. Please support me at that time." Long Shouxiao said sincerely to everyone.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Eighth. No matter who leaves, I won't leave anyway. I, Changda, decided to follow Your Highness Eighth in this life." A man in his early twenties said loudly to Long Shouxiao.
