Each brought three thousand troops to attack a mansion. Only Zhou Shixiong could think of this idea, and Zheng Dong was not that stupid. Therefore, the two could only rest for a few more days outside Xuanguang City, and wait for Fan Gandhi to recover from the joy of massacre before talking about the division of troops.

Van Gandhi was not blinded by the pleasure of revenge. A day later, he ordered the knife to be sealed, the corpse in the city was cleaned up, and Zheng Dong and Ji Hongchang were invited to enter the city. The three of them stepped on the bluestone slabs that had just been washed with clean water and walked slowly towards the government office. Zheng Dong was so uncomfortable that he was rushing to the nose that the bloody smell came, and his face kept changing, as if he was about to vomit. Zhou Shixiong's performance was quite average, and the bloody smell had little effect on him. He just looked at the blue smoke emitting from many luxury houses and courtyards in the city, and he was a little disdainful of Van Gandhi's methods.[]

"Master Zheng, Master Ji, some thank you gifts are not respectful." When Zhou Shixiong walked into the gate of the government office, he saw dozens of women occupying the yard. Fan Gandhi's so-called thank you gifts probably had something to do with these women.

"I am ashamed of the good intentions of the Mansion Master Fan." Zheng Dong was not polite to Fan Gandhi at all, and bowed his hands to thank the other party casually, then walked to these women and looked at them carefully. You could tell that they were professionals when you looked at the posture.

"Hongchang thanked the owner of the Fan Mansion for his reward." Zheng Dong's behavior reminded Zhou Shixiong that it was useless to dismiss the situation. This is a convention.

"These women are all noble ladies of the Nguyen Phuc tribe. Seeing that they are pretty pretty, I can barely take them as gifts. Don't dislike the two lords." Van Gandhi specifically explained the origin of these women, obviously trying to tell Zheng Dong and Ji Hongchang that these women are not bad guys in the trash and cannot be valued at market prices.

"Master Ji, these women are very good. I am afraid that our mansion will not be able to handle it. It's all up to you." Van Gandhi divided these women into two parts and divided them equally. Zheng Dong picked out a few of them from one of the women and asked them to stand in the other team.

"Master Zheng, how can Hongchang win over what he loves? Since you say it's good, you should keep it even more." Zhou Shixiong did not have high requirements for women, just be able to get the quality.

"Oh, these women are of the kind of charming type. If ordinary people want to feed them, only a fierce general like Lord Ji can deal with it. I will not cause trouble for this." In the business run by Henan Prefecture, population trading is a big project. As the head of the prefecture, Zheng Dong has long developed a pair of golden eyes. What kind of woman can touch and what women cannot be touched at a glance.

"Oh, Hongchang has only heard of Neimei, but he doesn't know the specific situation. He also asked the Lord Zheng's explanation." Zheng Dong deliberately wasted time on women. Although Zhou Shixiong did not understand his intention, he had to cooperate. He believed that Zheng Dong would not be so bored and must have his intentions.

"Neimei can only be understood but not expressed in words. Master Ji wants to know, it is better to practice it yourself." Van Gandhi also came over and inserted it, as if he had great experience in this area.

"Master Fan, are these women from the Ruan Phuc clan?" Zheng Dong suddenly became interested in the origin of these women. Zhou Shixiong was shocked. He understood what Zheng Dong wanted to express.

Van Gandhi's face changed slightly and he soon returned to normal. "Why did Lord Zheng say this?"

"These two women have seen in the Ping'an Palace. They should be Zheng Du's concubines. They seem to have nothing to do with Ruan Phuc, right?" Zheng Dong pointed to the two most beautiful women and said with great certainty.

"Oh, what happened?! Fan Xitong, how did you do it!" Fan Gandhi did not question Zheng Dong's words and scolded Fan Xitong who was following him.

"Master, the minister doesn't know why this happened. Please forgive me." Fan Xitong quickly knelt down and replied, not willing to take responsibility at all.

"Master Fan, it's better to find out the origin of these women, otherwise the mansion can't afford it." The double act of Fan Gandhi and Fan Xitong performed was so fake. Zheng Dong didn't even feel like joining in the fun. He walked into the main hall with a cold face. Zhou Shixiong reached out to Fan Gandhi and signaled to go first. Fan Gandhi kicked Fan Xitong angrily and walked in with a dark face.

Zheng Dong refused to accept this gift, and it turned out that he did not want to take the blame. It was estimated that the soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture destroyed Xuanguang Prefecture and killed people who should not be killed. Fan Gandhi gave the concubines and relatives of these people to the two. If they accepted it, they would have any disputes in the future and they could not speak.

"The people below do things in a rough manner. I ask the two lords to forgive me." After Zheng Dong and Ji Hongchang settled down, Van Gandhi bowed and apologized to the two and pushed the matter completely. Zheng Dong and Zhou Shixiong met, and both understood that now was not the time to be calculating with Van Gandhi, so they could only accept this statement against their will.

"The Lord Fan's Mansion does not need to be bothered. The servants are always careless in their work. I am used to it. Don't mention this matter again. Let's talk about attacking Anpei Mansion and Ajiang Mansion." Zheng Dong didn't want to bother about this matter, so he took a light word. Zhou Shixiong was inevitably a little unwilling to accept it. He had already taken a fancy to a few women just now and planned to enjoy it tonight.

"I thanked the magnanimous man of Zheng. It is not difficult to divide the troops. The two soldiers of Beijiang Mansion are driven at will. I believe Zheng Lisheng will not have any objection." Fan Gandhi's words surprised Zheng Dong and Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong couldn't help asking, "Master Fan, this is different from the agreement. Didn't we agree that the three governments would join forces to attack the Ruan Phuc?"

Van Gandhi explained to Ji Hongchang patiently, "I was also helpless. I originally wanted to mobilize troops from Taiyuan Prefecture to attack Xuanguang Prefecture, but most of the soldiers and horses in the mansion went to war with me, and the rest were all strong people. It is still good to help defend the city, but it is really impossible to conquer the city." Van Gandhi explained inconsistently and clearly told the two that I had broken the contract!

Zhou Shixiong and Zheng Dong have been planning for Van Gandhi, but Van Gandhi is the same. However, the previous few confrontations, Van Gandhi lost a lot, which made the two lose their vigilance. Now that Van Gandhi was so mean, Zheng Dong and Van Gandhi couldn't do anything except smile bitterly.

"Master Zheng, it seems that it is impossible to divide the troops. Why not follow Hongchang to Langshan Mansion and his party?" Zhou Shixiong and Zheng Dong returned to the military camp outside the city and sat in the big tent to reflect. Fan Gandhi suddenly broke the contract because he was unclear, but he finally did not have any evil thoughts on the two of them. The reason for this was that of course it was not that the owner of Fan Gandhi was ruthless and cares about his old love, but because the Ruan Phuc family had not yet been pacified and Zheng Zai's strength was not damaged. If Fan Gandhi touched Zheng Dong and Ji Hongchang, the next death guarantee was that he and Fan family of Taiyuan Mansion.

"That's all." Zheng Dong was at a loss. No matter how superb his intelligence was, he could do nothing without soldiers.

That night, the Lang Sang Prefecture camp was quiet. After the Lang Sang Prefecture camp entered the night, the army of Lang Sang sneaked away. The soldiers of the Taiyuan Prefecture camp were responsible for monitoring the camp, but found nothing. The reason why he chose not to say goodbye was because Zheng Dong wanted to make a reason for Van Gandhi to change his face. Zheng Dong believed that Van Gandhi must have wanted to greed for 80,000 prisoners of war, and could not really kill the two of them to attract revenge between the two governments. Van Gandhi can still maintain a little rationality now, which does not mean that he will not go crazy. To avoid this mad dog, running away is a necessary means.

Regardless of whether Zheng Dong's analysis was really similar, Zhou Shixiong understood that the 40,000 Nguyen Phuc prisoners would not be back. Why did he foolishly agree to Van Gandhi's suggestion and hand over his spoils to him? It's really his grandmother's stupidity.

Seeing Ji Hongchang very upset, Zheng Dong could only comfort him, "Mr. Ji, it may not be a good thing for Van Gandhi to be greedy for these 80,000 prisoners of war. The people from Heping Mansion and the people from Ruan Phuc will not mention it for now. The 20,000 entries of Long Mansion soldiers are enough for Van Gandhi to drink a pot. Master Ji just keeps watching the show."

Zheng Dong's words make sense. Eighty thousand prisoners of war came from three places. The Heping Mansion was already occupied by Zhou Shixiong. If you want to avenge, you can only wait until you grow stronger. The Ruan Phuc family was shaky and did not have much ability to trouble Van Gandhi. But Zheng Zai was different. The foundation of the Shenglong Mansion had not damaged Zheng Zai's reputation gradually grew. No matter what other prefectures in the Vietnamese Dynasty thought, the identity of the Zheng clan as the co-lord could hardly escape. Fan Gandhi wanted to fight the Zheng family alone with his family's strength, so he would definitely not be able to get more comfortable.

"Master Zheng, this matter is very good. It's a blessing to lose his horse." Zhou Shixiong's ability to comfort himself was also very powerful, and he quickly found a reason to excuse himself.

Zheng Dong echoed repeatedly and helped Ji Hongchang find a way. In fact, both of them knew how much harm it would be to Ji Hongchang if they lost these soldiers. First of all, Heping Prefecture lost 20,000 young and strong, which was a very fatal blow to Heping Prefecture, which was mainly farming. At the same time, with 20,000 young and strong, Lang Sang Prefecture's idea of ​​expanding its army could only be stranded, and people had to be drawn from the mansion to Heping Prefecture for help, and the losses were huge as one advance and one retreat.

As for the 40,000 Nguyen Phuc prisoners, Zhou Shixiong was heartbroken. With these 40,000 people, Zhou Shixiong could do a lot of things, such as accelerating the construction of pavilions and cities, and reclaiming wastelands and repairing roads. These work requires a lot of labor, and prisoners of war are the best labor force, and they do not need to consider their personal feelings or their families, just give them food. Now, the 40,000 best coolies are gone, so it would be strange if Zhou Shixiong doesn't cry.

On October 15th, Zhou Shixiong led 5,000 Langshan troops to finally return to Langshan City. The lord of Henan Prefecture Zheng Dong and his 1,000 guards were accompanied by Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang. Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang personally went out to greet him. She had learned from Ma San that Xuan Guang’s mansion was captured by the coalition forces of the three prefectures, and Nguyen Phuc Luo Min died. Although Nguyen Phuc had not been completely eliminated, these two news could already make her feel a little relieved.

"Hongchang, you are back." Ruan Phuket looked at Zhou Shixiong with a smile. Behind her were a group of women, each of whom looked at Zhou Shixiong with a grieving look. Zhou Shixiong had been away for several months, and all the letters from his family were owed. How could Li Jie, Zhu Ying and others not worry about it? You Min and Shimazu Min even sent people to inquire about the news every now and then. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they went to Li's Villa to escape the summer heat and scolded several women, saying that they had not fulfilled their responsibilities as wives and concubines.
