If the Eighth Prince was here, he would probably not be calm when he heard Zhang Jiaquan's words. This is because Yuanchen and Zhang Dingkang were the marching records of the last two cities leading directly to the South China Sea in the route designed by Zhang Jiaquan.

These two people have been openly loyal to the court, and even in the past few years of civil strife, they have clearly expressed their support for the Eighth Prince.

In the Eighth Prince's plan, as long as these two people work together to resist the enemy, plus the Eastern Family and other Jiedushi, it is enough to easily cut off the Zhang Family's retreat, making it difficult to fly!

This was almost a perfect plan. The Eighth Prince calculated everything but did not. The two loyal imperial ministers had already defected to the Zhang family.

Lao Fang was inspired by Zhang Jiaquan's words to the heroic man in his heart, and laughed: "In terms of heroes, how many people in the world can compete with the adults? This time, the adults are just a disaster from heaven and not a crime. When the adults move to Fuxing Island in the South China Sea, they will keep their strength for a while, so why worry about not being able to start over? At that time, the old slave will be in front of him and fight with him for another twenty years!"

It seemed that this old slave could say such a sonorous and passionate words. The Zhang family's face turned red and shouted: "Okay! Lao Fang, with your words, it will be worthy of your and my years of master-servant friendship."

Lao Fang bowed his hand and, before leaving, he suddenly said viciously: "Sir, what should the couple in the yard do? Do you want it..." He made a move to wipe his neck.

Zhang Jiaquan raised his hand to stop him: "No need to move for the time being, bring those two people with you too. In addition, I will immediately send an order to Liu Ye to capture all the warriors of the Sanjiang Alliance from the Lord of Baijiang City. I will say hello to the Demon Sect in person.

Zhuo Mufeng has caused me to come here. This time I go to sea, I will naturally bring the person he cares most! If something happens, it may be useful."

Before, the Zhang family had been under great pressure from the Northern Qi Dynasty and still did not hand over the people related to Zhuo Mufeng, such as Wu Guanting, Wu Yuanyuan, Lou Linxuan, etc., which were of course not about their love with Zhuo Mufeng, but regarded them as bargaining chips at critical moments. Secondly, as long as these people are pinched, they will not worry about not being able to attract Zhuo Mufeng.

Under the premise that Northern Qi would not let him go, the Zhang family was stunned and handed over the people.

"Yes, I obey the order!" Knowing that the lord had an idea, Lao Fang turned around and went downstairs with excitement.

Zhang Jiaquan turned around and walked to the window, looking at the rockery, green waters, pavilions, towers, and servants passing by. Then, his eyes penetrated the courtyard wall and looked at Wei Yu City, and then threw themselves into the wider sky, and his fists gradually clenched behind him.

If it were not for the last resort, he would not want to leave so early, and many materials and gold and silver were not transferred, and many layouts were not completed. This was his capital for making a comeback, but now he can't wait.

But it doesn't matter. This time, he retreated temporarily due to the situation, but one day he will know his shame and come back, lead elite soldiers and compete with the heroes of the world again!

That night, Zhang Jiaquan, Lao Fang, and some important members who were left behind, including the imprisoned Wu Guanting and his wife, all secretly left Wei Yu City through another secret passage in the Jiedu Mansion without attracting anyone's attention...

Baijiang City Lord’s Mansion, in the study room.

As Zhuo Mufeng's close attendant, Balong also serves as the intelligence leader, and reported the recent updates of all parties in the world to Zhuo Mufeng and Lou Linxuan.

When Lou Linxuan frowned when he heard that the leaders of the major chaos troops in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty suddenly stopped attacking one after another and instead distributed some of his troops to gather south.

Zhuo Mufeng asked curiously: "What is the purpose of those people?"

Balong: "I don't know for the time being that our stakes are lurking among the major armies and are just obeying orders. It is said that even the generals do not know the purpose of the governors."

While the two were talking, Lou Linxuan had already stood on the left wall, and there was also a huge map hanging here. Zhuo Mufeng ordered someone to make it several months ago at the request of Lou Linxuan.

Seeing him pondering, he just stared at the map and looked carefully. Zhuo Mufeng, Balong, and Fang Xiaodie, who was extremely impressed by Lou Linxuan, all walked over.

Lou Linxuan did not turn his head, his eyes were on the map, and asked, "What is the specific route of the major armies?"

Zhuo Mufeng's intelligence department was formed by Lou Linxuan, and it was divided into many branches. Each branch was specifically responsible for one aspect of intelligence. After summarizing it, it was submitted up and improved layer by layer, and finally all of them were sent to Balong.

In this way, it not only improves efficiency, but also deliberately avoids suspicion. Otherwise, Lou Linxuan's power would be too great. For Lou Linxuan, who is well versed in the rules of the officialdom, he naturally would not commit such taboos.

Therefore, if you don’t ask Balong, Lou Linxuan would not know the content of the information.

Upon hearing this, Balong quickly answered without any awkwardness, obviously knowing the situation very well.

It is no small matter that the army of major military governors had abnormal movements at the same time. The intelligence personnel below conducted detailed investigations.

After saying that, fearing that he would miss something, Balong walked back deliberately, picked up the specific information file on the desk, and respectfully handed it to Lou Linxuan.

Lou Linxuan put the feather fan in his hand on the wooden table, took the file, turned to the corresponding page number, looked carefully, and finally handed the file back to Balong, sighing: "As I expected, the Zhang family's intention to go to sea to take refuge was exposed. From the Eastern Family's attack on Hengyang, to the major military governors mobilizing troops, this should be a series of actions."

Not only did the Eighth Prince see Zhang Jiaquan's intention, but in fact, Lou Linxuan was earlier than him, and several months ago, based on Zhang Jiaquan's various actions, he made corresponding speculations.

Picking up the charcoal on the wooden table, Lou Linxuan faced the map, drew twisted lines, and indicated next to it which force he belonged to.

Based on the place names on the map, it can be seen that these lines represent the courses of action of major armies.

After Lou Linxuan finished drawing, several people found that these lines were like earthworms, aiming at an arrow-shaped area in the middle, which was Zhang Jiaquan's way south.

Balong and Fang Xiaodie looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Although Lou Linxuan had speculation a few months ago, the situation was not clear at that time, and the two of them could not help but feel suspicious. Looking at the movements of the Oriental Family and the major military governors, there was no more doubt, and there was only endless surprise.

Mr. Lou’s ability to predict the initiative can really be described as horror!

Zhuo Mufeng sighed with a little gloating on his face: "Following the siege of all parties and the dispatch of troops, even if the Zhang family immediately acted after receiving the news, and when he gathered his troops, he would not have time to rush out.

If you want to escape from the South China Sea, the road to the south is not short, and there are still Qingbo and Baojin at the end, and the two cities of Baojin are blocking the road. The nearby Hengyang City is stationed with the troops of the Eastern Family, which obviously cannot be achieved. It seems that our Zhang Dajiedu governor is in big trouble."

Zhuo Mufeng had no intention of sympathy for Zhang Jiaquan's experience.

The other party forced himself to seize Wu Guanting and his wife back then, and wanted to use him to block the gun hole of the Demon Sect. The only friendship between the two parties had long been exhausted, leaving only hatred.

Now it is said that the Zhang family is not aware of the people, so they promoted him, such as Zhuo Mufeng, and made him suffer. Zhuo Mufeng just smiled after hearing this.

Objectively speaking, the Zhang family's fall into this situation is indeed very related to him, Zhuo Mufeng. But he doesn't think he has done something wrong, he can only say that it is impolite to come but not go.

Both Balong and Fang Xiaodie knew the grudge between the young master and the other party, so they did not express anything, but Lou Linxuan said: "The Zhang family can do everything to manage Wei Yu Dao into a solid piece, and it is even more in chaos. It has made great achievements, but I am afraid it will not be that simple."

Zhuo Mufeng raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Lou means that Zhang Jiaquan has a backup plan?"

Lou Linxuan: "Lou has carefully studied this person and found that before he acted, he often insisted on defeat without considering victory and leaving a way out in advance for everything. He should be able to anticipate such a worst situation."

Zhuo Mufeng looked at the drawn area and shook his head and said, "But I really can't think of any way that guy can escape."

Balong and Fang Xiaodie behind him thought for a long time, and they also felt that this time the situation was completely desperate, unless the Zhang family could wield wings. Or, they would attract firepower with most of the troops and escape with a small number of confidants?

This method sounds reliable, but the actual success rate is very low. The opponent does not have a disguise mask. The enemy only needs to defend all the major levels and will sooner or later find its traces.

However, seeing Lou Linxuan thinking, the three of them did not make any noise to disturb him, including Zhuo Mufeng.

The more you come into contact with Lou Linxuan, the more you will admire the person's insight and judgment. He can often find many things that are ignored by ordinary people from some details, which often make people applaud.

The three of them even looked forward to it, wondering what Lou Linxuan would say this time.

In an instant, the study room became a sound, and only the birds outside the window cried a few times from time to time.

Lou Linxuan's expression suddenly changed, and he smiled slightly: "It's interesting, if it's true, it's interesting."

Fang Xiaodie said anxiously: "Mr. Lou, don't play the puzzle, tell us what you found."

With a calm smile, Lou Linxuan's slender fingers slid along the way to the south, saying, "Son-in-law, judging from the current situation, Zhang Jiaquan has indeed become a loser, but in fact his life is not over."

Zhuo Mufengqi said: "Oh, how do you say this?"

Lou Linxuan: "All parties have indeed made plans to encircle, just to capture and even kill Zhang Jiaquan, so as to sell favors to Northern Qi in the future, and secondly to Zhang Jiaquan's territory. This means that all parties are not just a single task, but have their own thoughts.

In this case, no one will take action in order to preserve their power. Otherwise, if the Zhang family is desperate and attacked by their own family, wouldn’t it be a pity for others? If everyone doesn’t move and the situation is stagnant, it will give the Zhang family time to go south."

Fang Xiaodie said in confusion: "But even so, the Zhang family can't escape. All parties will take action sooner or later, and at most they will negotiate a few rounds before joining together."
