Lin Yunfei's words were ambiguous, so he did not refuse to serve the imperial court, nor did he agree immediately. However, Zhang Shaolan also understood that it would be abnormal for Lin Yunfei to express his position immediately for such a big matter, so they didn't care about it. After that, they just introduced the recent developments of the imperial court.

A series of victories were achieved to show off their own strength, making the rebel army feel that only by working with the imperial court would they have a future.

Most of the things introduced by Zhang Shaolan and others, Luo Tianbao and others also know about it. After all, the rebel army has also participated in the competition in the world, so they must always pay attention to the general trend. However, Zhang Shaolan and others still disclosed many details this time.

Nowadays, the imperial court is fighting consecutive battles in the north, and the troops are pointing directly at Ning Zeen's home base of Yun and Lu Erzhou, forcing Dayou to now only gather the main force to the north to fight the enemy. This is why Dayou was uncharacteristically willing to fight against the rebels.

The reason for the reconciliation is that now he is unable to fight on both the east and west fronts at the same time. Therefore, he chooses the lesser of the two evils. He should first indulge the eastern princes and concentrate his strength on dealing with the imperial court.

However, Luo Tianbao and others also knew that Zhang Shaolan and others were reporting good news rather than bad news this time. The war situation has changed significantly since the Dayou Army freed up its hands to focus on the Western Front. Originally, the emperor personally led tens of thousands of troops to regain the capital, but there was no

Thinking of the head-on attack by Cui Wan, the famous general of the Dayou Army, who suffered heavy losses in the battle of Sanhuang Temple and had to retreat to Hanzhou, although this battle was not enough to damage the vitality of the officers and soldiers, it was still a blow to their morale.

attack, so now the war on the Western Front has reached a stalemate again.

The rebel army had also analyzed in advance that the reason why the imperial court thought of bribery this time was related to the current situation. They knew that they could not swallow up the Great You Army for a while, so they hoped that the princes on the east route could send troops to distract the Great You Army.

Of course, the rebel army would not be stupid enough to be used as a spearman, but now that the general trend of the world is unclear, it is not wise to openly offend the court, and Lin Yunfei is also thinking about whether he can use this to blackmail the court again, although he will not gain much land.

Money and food, but if it can be recognized by the court, and even authorized to use force against the eastern or northern princes, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for suppressing the rebels.

Therefore, in the end, everyone drank the wine quite harmoniously, and finally parted happily. Lin Yunfei specially left Zhang Shaolan and others to stay at the General's Mansion that night as a sign of respect. Luo Tianbao couldn't help but talk to Dong Yan when he returned to his residence that night.

caused this incident.

"By the way, what do you think about this incident?" Dong Yan said while making Luo Tianbao's bed. This kind of work was originally done by servants, but since Dong Yan was appointed as Luo Tianbao's job, this matter

She was basically taken over by him, and sometimes she would simply sleep in Luo Tianbao's house, because now Lin Yunfei had agreed to their affairs, so no one else had anything to say.

"What can I think? Just listen to dad."

"What is this? Don't tell me that you are a young commander now. Even if you have no position, you should have your own opinions on everything, right?"

"The key is that it doesn't matter what I say now."

"Now I'm not asking you to make a decision. What are you afraid of? Okay, come here." Dong Yan said and patted the bed. Luo Tianbao lay down on it, while Dong Yan sat on the edge of the bed and watched.

he.

"If you ask me what I'm thinking, of course I still hope that the negotiation can be successful this time. I don't think we can seize the country in the end. It's okay to fish in the troubled waters of the current world. Seeing that the imperial court has hopes of reviving, in this case we might as well go early.

If you surrender to others, maybe you can get an official position in the future, get a wife and a shadow, it’s not bad for someone who started fighting in troubled times to finally get such an ending. Am I a bit hopeless when I think so? "

"No, I think it's quite real."

"You really think so?"

"It's just the two of us here, why should I lie to you? Now that I'm with you, I naturally hope for a happy ending in the future, but tell me the truth, are you just thinking about the overall situation? Or is it for other reasons?

"

"What other reason?"

"Stop pretending, I don't know anything about you and Shi Yan. Lin Shu was whispering to you as soon as we met today, and she was probably talking about her, right? Do you dare to say that you are close to the imperial court because of her?

"

"No, why are you so jealous? You made it clear about me and Shi Yan at the beginning. Yes, there is indeed love and interest between the two of us, but in front of her, I am just a fun little brother, and she is a romantic

A free and easy person may not take me to heart."

"You may think so, but I'm afraid she may not."

"No, didn't you say you didn't mind giving up your position as the main wife?"

"Yes, I don't mind, but it depends on the person. If you really want to marry an official, a daughter of a noble family, I won't argue with you, but Shi Yan... everyone is from the same group, and she wants me to be humble in front of her.

I won’t be convinced if my eyebrows are too small.”

"Oh, where are you from?" Luo Tianbao couldn't help but hold Dong Yan's hand when he said this, with a smirk on his face.

"Asking questions knowingly, that's what you stinky men are like, you know the taste after eating the marrow." Dong Yan said, throwing away Luo Tianbao's hand, stood up and left.

"No, where are you going?"

"Go back to your room."

"Why, the bed is already made and you don't want to sleep here?"

"Who wants to sleep in this broken bed like you? Just dream of your sister Yan to accompany you tonight." Dong Yan said and actually left the room. Luo Tianbao could only smile bitterly and lean on the pillow.

"A woman's heart is really hard to understand sometimes."

Originally, according to Zhang Shaolan and others' intention, they planned to start detailed talks the next day, but Lin Yunfei deliberately did not mention this. Instead, he accompanied Zhang Shaolan to inspect various places and visited the military camp. In name, he was doing his duty as a landlord, but in fact

The first is to deliberately put on airs and seize the initiative in the entire negotiation. The second is to show strength to Zhang Shaolan and others, so as to increase one's own weight during negotiations.

As a marching Sima, Luo Tianbao naturally accompanied him throughout the whole process. What made him quite emotional was that many people in Jizhou were very excited when they saw Zhang Shaolan. After all, their brothers had raised the flag of rebellion in Jizhou to fight against the rebels, and Zhang Shaoqing had brought benefits when he was in power.

Therefore, everyone thought of their brothers. Seeing this scene, Luo Tianbao felt that it was better to stand with the court than to cooperate with the evil-doing rebels.

They inspected all morning. At noon, Lin Yunfei and his wife hosted a banquet in the house for Zhang Shaolan and others. This time Luo Tianbao did not accompany him. After handling the official business at hand, he returned to the small courtyard where he lived. Dong Yan was supervising Wen Kai there.

In martial arts training, the latter has made rapid progress recently. Luo Tianbao sometimes feels that if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to catch up with Wen Kai's cultivation in one or two years. However, Luo Tianbao is not the kind of person with strong jealousy. Even if his apprentice is really

He was very happy to have surpassed himself. He thought that nothing would happen anyway, so he personally supervised Wen Kai's martial arts practice. Sisters Shu Ting and Shu Yi were also watching and occasionally made some comments.

In fact, both Dong Yan and the Shu sisters are currently better in martial arts than Luo Tianbao, so sometimes discussing martial arts with them and Luo Tianbao can really gain a lot of knowledge. However, the more he knows about the martial arts of Black Tiger, Gemini and other sects, the more Luo Tianbao feels that he is still his own.
