"Don't drop the doll because you are so clumsy!" The fat man also liked children. He snatched it from Xiao Chen's hand and kissed the doll's little face hard.
"The stubble of your beard is piercing the baby!" Xiao Chen snatched it back again, "Come and call uncle to listen!"
"What kind of uncle are you? You are a brother!" Fatty said, "I am the real uncle of the doll!"
The fat man didn't mean to take advantage, because Xiao Chen and Wanyan Pingqiu are brothers, and this dog is Wanyan's little brother, so doesn't he have to be called Brother Xiao Chen?
The two of them were busy taking care of the children and ignored Dugulou and Qiu Ruolan.
"Why don't you see Linger, Qianye, Xiaoye and the others?" Qiu Ruolan asked.
"I don't know where I went out to have fun. By the way, madam, you have to hide the dog and don't let them see it, otherwise..." Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Ling'er Qianye, Xiaoye and the others came. When they came back from outside, they were very happy to see the dog. They rushed him out while screaming and cheering, saying that they were going to the street corner to buy him candied haws...
"The dog is still young and can't eat that..." Qiu Ruolan was worried and followed her.
"How come, old man? Why did you come so fast?" Xiao Chen poured tea for Dugulou himself, "Besides, come as soon as your husband comes. Why did you bring Mrs. Ruolan and the baby too? It's such a cold day. , how hard it is on the road.”
"Hello, old man, I just miss you... It was Ruolan who heard that I was coming, so she insisted on following me. She didn't want to take my son with me at first, but she couldn't bear it when I came. When I came, I wanted to pay homage to my family and also let my son go. Kowtow a few times in front of the grave and recognize your ancestors and return to the clan." Dugulou sighed as he spoke, feeling sad.
Last time, Li Wanjiang not only made Xiao Chen a first-class Yunqi Lieutenant, but also made Dugulou a general to drive captives. Basically, Li Wanjiang was rewarded for all the Yanyun generals who participated in the Yizhou battle.
Since Xiao Chen's strategy is not to conflict with Dazhou head-on, everyone in Yanyun still has to surrender to Li Wanjiang. Dugulou is here to thank the Lord for his kindness.
With his status, being able to come in person can also dispel a lot of Li Wanjiang's doubts. After all, he is the naval marshal of Yanyun County and the second most powerful figure in the Yanyun military!
He has a pivotal position in Yanyun, probably second only to the old man, Xiao Chen, Wanyan Pingqiu and Zhuge Xiaosheng.
"You two are really big-hearted. One is Governor Yanyun and the other is Marshal Yanyun, but now you are both willing to give Li Wanjiang his head!" The fat man said, "This old man is also big-hearted, and he will allow you to do so." Come?"
"Haha, even if I come to give him a head, he, Li Wanjiang, may not dare to ask for it!" Dugulou said with a smile, "Besides, he doesn't even want the prince's head, so how can he want mine? The old man is so cunning, he has already calculated it. "
"If I were Li Wanjiang, I would have to take you two hostage." The fat man said.
"Even if he wants to keep hostages, he will keep me, not sir." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Otherwise, if we both stay, who will fight the English on his behalf?"
"Sir, what is Li Wanjiang's plan?" Dugu Lou asked, "Does he want to go to war with the English? Does he have any concerns?"
"Of course there are concerns, and most of them are mine." Xiao Chen said, "I guess he is just afraid that I will join forces with the British to beat him. From our point of view, it is ridiculous for him to think so, but from his perspective See, you have to worry about it."
"You are really Li Wanjiang's confidant," the fat man said.
"It's true." Xiao Chen said, "At least I know him much better than he knows me. Otherwise, the two of us would not be where we are today."
If Li Wanjiang knew Xiao Chen and reused Xiao Chen from the beginning, the situation would not be like this.
In a sense, it was Li Wanjiang who made Xiao Chen successful.
Now that Xiao Chen is staying, he wants to re-establish a relationship of mutual trust with him and use gentle means to resolve the conflict between the two.
In the eyes of many people, the conflict between the two of them is simply irresolvable, but Xiao Chen doesn't think so, and is even willing to use himself as a bet for a big gamble.
Not for myself, not for Li Wanjiang, but for the common people in the world.
In fact, Xiao Chen didn't have to do this at all, but if he didn't do it, he wouldn't be Xiao Chen.
And now, from the old man to Dugulou and all the brothers, they are slowly beginning to understand him and support him. This is another run-in between Xiao Chen and his brothers.
This is of great significance to everyone's future.
It's just that they don't realize it yet.
"Xiaosheng and I have talked. We both feel that whether it is Li Wanjiang or us, a war with the British is inevitable. The ambitions of the British are no less than those of Ross. They also pursue expansionism. This time they come to blatantly There was no buffer in advance for the provocation, haha, you didn’t take us seriously at all.”
Dugulou's provocation to the English was quite unexpected. The Russians are close at hand and have strong troops. We all beat them up. You are a small country and you have come thousands of miles away. You still want to destroy us. Isn't this wishful thinking?
Of course, maybe they were only targeting the Great Zhou Dynasty, knowing that the Great Zhou Navy was vulnerable, but didn’t you consider our Yanyun Navy?
Either you are too crazy, or your information is too outdated. No matter which case it is, it is very fatal.
Of course, Dugulou and Zhuge Xiaosheng did not underestimate each other's strength. They judged that the battle would definitely take place in the area between Yizhou and the Minzhou Strait, or in the sea area south of Yizhou.
Therefore, an additional fleet has been sent over, and the Yunzhou fleet has been notified, a large amount of war preparation materials have been transported, and sufficient preparations have been made.
After Dugulou met Xiao Chen and Li Wanjiang, he would go straight to Yizhou. He would personally command the battle and collect all information about the English fleet before the war so that he knew himself and the enemy well.
Although the Yanyun Navy could handle this battle on its own, it would certainly be best if Dazhou could cooperate in the battle. Therefore, when he came to see Li Wanjiang, he wanted to 'ask for instructions' from him on this matter, at least. Do you know who the general of Dazhou is?
"It's been really hard work these past few years, Mr. Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen said, "Since you became Marshal Yanyun, you have been working hard and running around, and you have never had a moment of leisure."
"Isn't it time to relax this time? Just think of it as a vacation." Dugulou said with a smile, "But to be honest, I am still a hard worker. I have nothing to do when I am in Capricorn, and everyone is just living. Xian got sick, but since arriving in Yanyun, his health has been getting better day by day, he sleeps well, eats well, and has gained dozens of pounds!"
This is true. Back then, Dugulou was dark, thin, and extremely weak, but now he is white, fat, broad-shouldered, and round-waisted.
For ordinary people, life lies in movement, but for Dugulou, life lies in fighting.
He is naturally handsome.
