"At least I'm not too stupid!" After teasing Xia Yue, Dongfang Ze looked at Mu Qianxue and sternly said, "I know that the princess has requested Seventh Brother to move out of King Rui's Palace several times. Indeed, Seventh Brother is about to get married, so it isn't appropriate for the princess to continue staying in the mansion.

Mu Qianxue grabbed onto a purple flower that was growing on a vine and said hesitantly, "This place is indeed very good, but King Rui … Will they agree? " She had asked to see Dongfang Shou a few times for the sake of moving away, but Dongfang Shou had never agreed.

Dongfang Ze patted his chest and said, "As long as the princess agrees, I'll go talk to him about Seventh Brother."

Mu Qianxue pondered for a moment before bowing, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to thank the Nine Kings."

"Princess is too courteous." Dongfang Zexuan saluted. As he accompanied Mu Qianxue out, he suddenly said, "Princess, don't blame Seventh Brother. He has his own difficulties as well."

Mu Qianxue lightly said, "I know, I have also never blamed Your Highness."

"That's good." After returning to King Rui's mansion, Mu Qianxue went back to the East District to clean up. Dongfang Ze went all the way to the Nan Xuan. He didn't even let anyone report him and directly went straight in with big thorns.

"Did she like it?"

"Seventh Brother spent so much effort to decorate the garden, how could the princess not like it?" After answering, Dongfang Ze sighed, "It's just, Seventh Brother, aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Dongfang Zhi was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "As long as she is well, I will be fine."

"But I can see that the princess is not happy. Other than the initial fluster, her brows have never really relaxed; I can see that the princess cares a lot about Seventh Brother, and as for Seventh Brother, he has been extremely diligent towards the princess. He clearly cares about each other, so why can't he treat her calmly and awkwardly?"

"So what if she is calm? Can I be together with her?" Without waiting for Dongfang Ze to speak, he wiped his face and said, "I can't. Since that's the case, why did you have to make her suffer together with me? Just make her think …" I hate her. "

"Seventh Brother, why must you go through so much trouble? The paper cannot contain the fire, and one day, the princess will find out about it all. What should we do then?"

"We'll talk about it then." A cold light flashed in his eyes, "Remember, you absolutely cannot tell the princess, otherwise …" Even if it's you, you can't be a brother! "

"I know." Although Dongfang Ze didn't agree, he could only agree.

Seeing that he had agreed, Dongfang Shuo stretched out his eyebrows and stroked the paper in his hand: "This is yesterday's military intelligence report. The Qi Kingdom has already increased its troops at the border, and after receiving the paper, His Majesty has already begun to mobilize food and fodder. This battle is unavoidable."

"The Qi Emperor really dares to fight this battle." Dongfang Ze casually picked up the paper and read it. After he read it through, he said, "Do you know if the one who is allied with the Qi Kingdom is Dongling or Xichu?"

"I sent Eleven and the others to investigate, but we still don't have any results, but …" "In my opinion, it is more likely that Xichu is more likely."

Dongfang Ze slightly nodded and asked, "Did Your Majesty say who would lead the troops once the war started?"

"I didn't say it explicitly, but from what Your Majesty is saying … There is a high chance that he is the king of the Pingyang Kingdom. "

Dongfang Ze sneered. "That's true, the strength of the Qi Kingdom is as different as our own. Once the war starts, we will mobilize at least two to three hundred thousand troops. Such a huge military force naturally has to be handed over to someone we trust."

Dongfang Shou lightly rapped his fingers on the table and said, "Old Ninth, I think... Take this soldier! "

Dongfang Ze looked at him in astonishment. Only after a long while did he regain his senses. He repeatedly shook his head. "He won't agree."

Dongfang Nian wasn't in a hurry either. He calmly said, "Tell me the reason!"

"Firstly, the war between the two kingdoms will last for at least a month, or even half a year. Seventh Brother, it's not appropriate for you to be away for so long; secondly, in terms of experience and qualification, several generals are more experienced than Seventh Brother, the Pingyang King is one of them; thirdly, and most importantly, as I mentioned before, with Second Brother's suspicious personality, such a huge military power will not be handed over easily; yes, among all the brothers, he still trusts Seventh Brother, but it's only to this extent; he's far from being comparable to the Prince Pingyang who's tied up with the Wei clan."

Dongfang Qin wordlessly looked at Dongfang Ze, causing the latter, who was originally confident, to feel apprehensive. He couldn't help but ask, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"On the contrary, every word you say is very true."

"Since that's the case, why is seventh brother looking at me like that?"

Dongfang Yi stood up and patted him on the shoulder, sighing, "All along, I've felt that you're like a child who hasn't grown up yet, impulsive and willful, always needing someone to remind you. Even when I found out what your true thoughts were, I didn't change this thought for a while, and only now do I know that not only have you grown up long ago, you're also more steady and transparent than many people."

Dongfang Ze brightly smiled, revealing two neat rows of white teeth. "Whether it was before, now or in the future, I will always be Seventh Brother's Ninth Brother. This will never change."

"Seventh Brother knows." Dongfang Yi pinched his sturdy shoulder and withdrew his hand. "The three points you said just now were all roughly correct. The only thing that's wrong is that you made one mistake."

Dongfang Ze thought back to what he had just said and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. He curiously asked, "Which one?"

"It's not only the Pingyang King who is tied to the Wei clan, there's also …" Dongfang Yi pointed at himself and said, "Me!"

"Seventh Brother?" Surprised and quick to react, he asked, "Seventh Brother is referring to your marriage with the Prosperity Zong Ji?"

"Yes, I can be considered half a member of the Wei family on the matter of the wedding. It is not much different from the Pingyang King."

Dongfang Ze lowered his head and thought for a while. He frowned and said, "That is to say, but the Pingyang couple have been married for twenty years, and the seventh brother just got married. To be exact, they haven't even been married yet.

Dongfang Zhi smiled slightly, "But what if Prince Pingyang personally recommends me?"

Dongfang Ze answered immediately, "Of course it's different. But why would the Pingyang King recommend you to him for no reason?"

"This is the reason why I want to marry Shen Xijun and Zhao Pingqing." Under Dongfang Ze's puzzled gaze, he stared at the red lettering on the wall outside the window and coldly said, "Watch and see. This time, I will definitely take down the authority to lead troops!"

A light flashed in Dongfang Ze's eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "Seventh Brother wants to take over the military …"

Dongfang Shan understood what he meant and shook his head. "It's not time yet. If I gain the military power, with your majesty's temper, I will definitely lay down the order to prevent a rebellion. What I need now is military merits — the illustrious military merits that no one dares to touch."
