446.Mr. Zhou, long time no see

Zhoumufu is located in the north of Wangjiang City.

This is the center of the entire Qingzhou, but now it is in a state of depression.

Even the concierges and servants in the past are now gone.

Only a few loyal old servants were left, following him all the time.

In a pavilion in the inner courtyard, Zhou Zhenghao was sitting alone, but in front of him were two teacups.

Someone had obviously sat here before.

But at this time, the tea is cold.

Da da da!

A figure quickly came from a distance.

"Sir, there is new news from General Ma."

An old man with gray hair bowed slightly and spoke to Zhou Zhenghao.

This is the steward of the Zhou Mu Mansion and Zhou Zhenghao's confidant.

"It is said that the daughter of Zheng Yuanhua from Chuzhou just arrived today and has already entered the general's mansion."

The housekeeper's surname is Liu, who has been following Zhou Zhenghao and has a secret information channel.

"Zheng Yuanhua?"

Zhou Zhenghao frowned slightly after hearing Butler Liu's words.

"Zheng Yuanhua used to be a personal soldier of Duke Wei, and later served as the state shepherd of Chuzhou. He has not made any achievements over the years. This man has a good eye but a low hand, and is ruthless. I am afraid he sold his daughter this time."

Chuzhou is right on the edge of Qingzhou. As the prefect of Qingzhou, Zhou Zhenghao naturally knows Zheng Yuanhua very well.

"Master, if Zheng Yuanhua and General Ma join forces, plus that Mo Ruyu, then we will be even more passive."

Butler Liu spoke in a deep voice. He was very aware of Zhou Zhenghao's current predicament, so he was extremely worried.

Zhou Zhenghao was silent.

He has always been upright and disdainful of those intrigues.

But this time, he was trapped by these conspiracies and tricks.

He wanted to break free, but had no choice.

"Where's the Iron Armored Army?"

Zhou Zhenghao asked about his strongest combat power.

"Sir, the Iron Armored Army is currently undergoing repairs in the North Camp. General Ma tried to send people to take control many times, but he was beaten out every time."

As Zhou Zhenghao's last strength, the Iron Armored Army can be regarded as worthy of the word "direct lineage".

No matter what the circumstances, he never betrayed Zhou Zhenghao.

And they were in Beiying, very close to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. If something really happened, Zhou Zhenghao could quickly summon them.

It was precisely because of Zhou Zhenghao's strength and the more than two thousand armored troops that Mo Ruyu and Ma Yuyang were unable to suppress them with force.

However, if this continues, it will still be cannibalized step by step, and in the end it will be inevitable.

"As long as the armored troops are fine."

Zhou Zhenghao nodded, feeling relieved about his armored army.

"Master, why didn't you kill General Ma and Mo Ruyu?"

Butler Liu hesitated for a moment and finally expressed his doubts.

Ma Yuyang is only at the third level of the Imperial Martial Realm.

But Mo Ruyu's strength is even weaker.

If Zhou Zhenghao really attacks with force and kills Ma Yuyang and Mo Ruyu, then there may not be no chance of a comeback.

"No!"

However, Zhou Zhenghao shook his head.

"The current situation is no longer just a matter of Qingzhou. If it were only Qingzhou, I would have taken action long ago."

Zhou Zhenghao is not a person with a narrow view. What he sees is the big picture of the Dawu Dynasty.

"Now the Queen and Your Majesty are at full-scale war, and among the nine states, except for Qingzhou, they are basically the Queen's men. I want to leave this last fire for Your Majesty."

If the land of Kyushu were all in the hands of the queen, then Emperor Wu would have no choice but to sit back and wait for death.

Maybe Emperor Wu had a backup plan, but Zhou Zhenghao couldn't guarantee it.

He left the family with the young lady. Later, when the young lady married into the palace, he followed her into the palace.

After the lady disappeared, he became loyal to Emperor Wu.

He knew that Emperor Wu was the lady's beloved, so he did not want to watch Emperor Wu be destroyed by the queen.

This Qingzhou was the only thing he had that could help Emperor Wu.

So he didn't want to give up until the last moment.

"There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and now they are basically in the hands of Ma Yuyang. Even if I kill Ma Yuyang, there are still others in Qingzhou. How can I still kill all the 100,000 soldiers and horses? "

Zhou Zhenghao stood up slowly and stood with his hands behind his back.

"As for Mo Ruyu, she is the daughter of the prime minister. Although she is a bit scheming, as long as the Iron Armored Army is in my hands, she will not be able to make any big waves. And if I really want to kill her, I am afraid it will scare the snake."

Although Zhou Zhenghao is an upright man, he is not stupid. He knows strategies, but he just doesn't bother to use them.

"Master, if a strong man from the Imperial Martial Realm comes, wouldn't it mean that everything is lost?"

Butler Liu spoke cautiously.

This is also what worries him the most.

If someone from the Imperial Martial Realm came, Zhou Zhenghao would definitely be defeated, and his life would even be in danger.

"Don't worry about that."

Zhou Zhenghao waved his hand and looked up at the sky.

"The Queen's main strength is now fighting against His Majesty. It is impossible for her to mobilize the strong men of the Imperial Martial Realm."

"Besides, even if she has this intention, Your Majesty will not let her get her wish."

The strong men in the Imperial Martial Realm are basically the top forces of the Dawu Dynasty.

Will not be dispatched easily.

Moreover, the Queen knew the importance of Zhou Zhenghao, and Emperor Wu naturally knew better.

He would also spare no effort to hold back the queen and prevent the strong men from the Imperial Martial Realm from coming to Qingzhou.

The current situation is basically a confrontation between Zhou Zhenghao, Ma Yuyang, and Mo Ruyu.

It just depends on who the final winner is in this game of chess.

"I heard that the Yun family has also been suppressed recently and was besieged by thirteen families in the south. I wonder if Emperor Yun can withstand it."

Zhou Zhenghao's mind changed, but he thought of Emperor Yun.

In the Battle of Yunhai Bay, he was the one who finally pulled Emperor Yun back to Qingzhou.

I wanted to stabilize the situation quickly, but in the end I was still a step too slow.

"The Yun family is a century-old family after all, and Emperor Yun is a strong man in the Imperial Martial Realm. Even if there are thirteen families, they should be able to sustain it for a while."

Butler Liu pondered for a moment and expressed his opinion.

"I hope so. Now even the Sifang Chamber of Commerce has been suppressed by the Queen's people, and the Yun family has also been implicated."

Zhou Zhenghao sighed, now he was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to save himself, and unable to help Emperor Yun.

"Now I'm afraid only Yin Yang Academy can stay out of the whirlpool. After all, there are two people, the Medicine Emperor and the Sword Emperor."

Now the entire Dawu Dynasty is involved in the dispute between the emperor and the empress, which also makes Zhou Zhenghao worried.

"You go down first, and if you have any news, come and tell me."

Zhou Zhenghao waved his hand and told Butler Liu to step aside.

In the pavilion, Zhou Zhenghao stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky.

I just feel like there is an invisible cage around me, trapping me tightly. I want to break free and get free, but it is difficult to do so.

"Hey, it would be great if His Highness is still alive. With him here, we can ask for Bai Emperor's help. This small dilemma can be solved with a wave of hands."

Zhou Zhenghao suddenly missed Xiao Changfeng and sighed.

Just when he was thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears:

"Master Zhou, long time no see!"
