"What did you two say?"
Liu Cheng looked at Gu Ya in the distance suspiciously, then shifted his gaze to Han Dongwen in front of him.
Gu Ya was sitting on her knees on the ground, doing a prayer posture quite devoutly, as if she was as focused as meditating.
Han Dongwen shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice: "She said she can go back, but she has to wait until she recovers."
Liu Cheng frowned: "Your Highness's order is for you and me to go to the Blood Harbor Emperor as soon as possible to detect the enemy's situation. We stay here for a long time, how can we detect the enemy's situation? I don't think this woman's injury is actually serious. , can’t you see it?”
"Shh-"
Han Dongwen raised a finger and put it in front of his lips, signaling Liu Cheng to speak softer. He looked sideways at Gu Ya and then turned around:
"Enemy situation, what is enemy situation?"
"Of course it's the enemy's weakness." Liu Cheng answered him immediately.
Han Dongwen nodded and looked at Gu Ya, and whispered to Liu Cheng: "As the deputy general of Blood Harbor, she should return to the base camp at all costs, but she insists on adjusting her condition here. What does this mean? "
Hearing what he said, Liu Cheng frowned slightly: "You mean, she doesn't want to return to Blood Harbor immediately... Is there something wrong inside Blood Harbor?"
"Look, is this an enemy situation?"
Han Dongwen smiled and said nothing. He just sat down cross-legged and took a short rest.
Before Liu Cheng comes back, Gu Ya still needs some time to think carefully about what he said.
According to Gu Ya, Taka's second prince Gao rescued her because Gu Ya, as a candidate for a saint, had the basic qualifications to become a god. After meeting Han Dongwen, the "temperance knight", Gu Ya really had the idea to step into the godhood. possible.
Therefore, it was natural that she immediately focused more on getting herself on the level of a god rather than helping the Blood Harbor Emperor become a god.
What Han Dongwen really cares about is the reason why Gao acted like this - it seems that whether it was Gu Ya and the Blood Harbor Emperor at the time, or Tilda and Han Dongwen now, it seems that what he really cares about is not these few people, not even these few. nation.
What he really wants to grasp and care about is "the possibility of becoming a god."
Just like betting on the numbers most likely to win when buying a lottery ticket, Prince Gao seems to have always been attracting those who are likely to reach the level of gods into the Emerald King's Court.
What does he want to do?
Apart from the rapid improvement of one's own strength, the benefits of stepping onto the divine level were other abilities that Han Dongwen had not seen before. It was not until Gu Ya's battle at Huishui Bay that he saw the Emperor of Blood Harbor seeming to use Gu Ya's Double Ninth Crown. The process of "coming" to her.
According to Gu Ya, this ability is called "god-given".
With the help of the power of falling objects, those who step onto the steps of gods can project their own power on their followers, giving them almost unbelievable power.
It was with the help of this kind of power that Gu Ya, who was originally just Brigadier General of Blood Harbor, was able to delay time in front of Yang Churan and Jiang Ningyun, a lieutenant and a chief commander.
If Han Dongwen himself wanted to master such power, and even be able to give players "god gifts"...
"Lord Liu Cheng, when will the National Finance Division support Haizhou in the future?"
He closed his eyes and asked.
"The National Finance Department will not be too fast, but the National Military Department and the National Law Department must have gone to Haizhou to take action."
Liu Chengju looked at the direction of the sea: "For hidden dangers like Daqimen and Jingbu, the longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it will be."
He paused for a moment and then said: "However, the most important thing at the moment is to protect the safety of His Highness. Haizhou is in turmoil. It happened that Oliima formally proposed marriage in order to resolve the conflict. His Highness returned to Siyang as soon as possible and waited to meet Princess Olima. This is business, and we should be able to set off soon."
"Return to Siyang..."
Han Dongwen pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Sir, Lieutenant, are you interested in making a bet with me?"
"bet?"
Liu Cheng was stunned and seemed to be in a better mood: "What are you betting on?"
"It's a bet on whether His Highness will return to Siyang. If His Highness still stays in Haizhou and let Xiaguan win by chance, I hope that your Excellency will agree to a small thing."
After hearing what he said, Liu Cheng suddenly became happy: "Okay, okay, it's so turbulent and dangerous. It would be strange if His Highness stayed in Haizhou. What if you lose?"
"If I lose, I might be able to join your Majesty and work for the National Finance Division in the future."
Han Dongwen smiled happily, as if he had made such a bet just to find a way out of his desire to join the National Finance Division.

——————————
Indeed, arrangements were quickly made for His Highness's evacuation.
"No need to leave."
In the middle of leaving the palace, Han Dongwen sat on his big chair, holding his chin and playing with a wine glass in his hand.
The person standing under the stage was Li Zai. He looked up at Han Dongwen, a little surprised.
"Your Highness, the Second Department of Military Art will leave for Haizhou today. There will be little unrest in Haizhou by then. The palace here is in the mountains behind the Jingbu headquarters. If we don't leave at this time, I'm afraid that your Highness' safety will be affected by then!"
Han Dongwen didn't even look at him, just stared at the wine glass in his hand, and said as if muttering to himself: "Since Blood Harbor attacked Haizhou Port, I have never stepped out of this palace. The battle reports and military aircraft are all sent to the Ministry of Shock. What do you think it’s because of?”
Li Zai took a deep breath and lowered his head: "It's because the Jingbu didn't want His Highness to see that their garrison was weak, so they lied in the newspaper that the losses were not big, so as not to offend Tianwei!"
Han Dongwen smiled: "Yes, if I stay in the palace hall without knowing anything, and then return to Siyang as you said, the Military Justice Department will have no way of reporting it after arriving in Haizhou, and it will directly relieve the power and shock the troops in Haizhou. Or even directly confront each other with swords?"
"...That's not the case." Li Zai sighed.
"As for, very so."
Han Dongwen sneered: "I'll stay here and take the Second Department of Art of War to Haizhou. I'll report the real situation. I'll issue an edict to release the power. It's just and logical. What's wrong with it?"
Li Zai smiled bitterly:
"Of course, of course it's okay. If it's according to His Highness's arrangement, it's natural and justifiable, and it's just what he deserves to be shocked."
He paused and then said:
"So, Jingbu will let himself end in this way? If His Highness does not return to Siyang at this time, I am afraid that Jingbu himself will find ways to make His Highness return to Siyang, or...or make it impossible for His Highness to return to Siyang."
Yang Churan and Yang Facai must not be stupid. Jingbu has almost been cut apart from Simeng. If the remaining layer of skin on the surface is torn off, nothing will be left.
Nothing will be left, it will be reversed.
The reason why the story of releasing military power over a glass of wine has been passed down to this day is because it is difficult to release power, and carelessness can lead to the opposite.
If the conflict between Jingbu and Simeng is intensified at this time, I am afraid that it will give Xue Gang an opportunity. The safest way is to continue the stalemate with Jing Bu, and wait until Xue Gang is resolved first so that Jing Bu has no way out. , it is the best policy to relieve the power when there is no way to fight back.
"You mean, I can go where the Jingbu allows me to go, but I can't stay where the Jingbu doesn't let me stay?"
Han Dongwen smiled and finally turned his gaze to Li Zai: "Then is this Haizhou still an imperial land? Is this Haizhou considered Simeng?"
"Your Highness..."
Li Zai was about to say more when suddenly a soft female voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, the person has been brought back. The locals led the way from the back mountain to the palace. Only the guards of the Xiu Department have seen him."
Xiao Hongdou's figure appeared at the door of the hall. She walked in quickly, bowed slightly in front of Li Zai and said:
"The number of people affected by the Huishui Bay disaster is more than 6,000. Excluding more than 4,000 people who were killed and missing, hundreds of people have returned to other residences in Haizhou City. Seventy-eight people from Huishui Bay living near the Jingbu Camp have been brought to the back In the mountains.”
"There are so few people?"
Han Dongwen was a little surprised.
Ever since he heard that there were many homeless people from Huishui Bay gathered in front of the emergency department, he had already made up his mind to rescue them in the palace. Firstly, it would save lives, and secondly, it would be the most powerful way to reveal the true situation of Huishuiwan. witness.
But how could there be only a few dozen people homeless in the huge Huishui Bay?
"Your Highness, this is a surprise..."
Xiao Hongdou bit her lower lip, with a rare coldness on her face:
"When the troops were driving away the homeless people outside the main camp, many of the victims had conflicts. As a result of the conflicts... there were quite a few casualties."
Han Dongwen stopped playing with the wine glass in his hand.
"How many people died?" he asked.
"No less than... four hundred."
"Ah."
There was no smile in Han Dongwen's sneer, it was all a mixture of tiredness and anger.
He thought for a moment and stood up:
"Settlement this group of people, Li Zai."
"I'm here." Li Zai replied immediately.
"Get ready to leave the palace."
Han Dongwen took a deep breath:
"My heart cares about the people, understands the people's situation, mourns deeply, and helps the victims in the palace. I learned from the victims about the tragic situation of the Huishui Bay battle. Now I must leave the palace immediately to pay homage to our fallen heroes, and to pray for the victims. Ming Fu, do you understand?"
Li Zai took a deep breath and answered slowly:
"Your Highness, if this is really the case, I'm afraid it will really alarm the entire army... It would be very dangerous to raise a flag of rebellion!"
Han Dongwen gritted his teeth and raised the corners of his mouth fiercely:
"That's why I told you to get ready, isn't it?"
