Chapter 1251
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "I never thought that Xi Ling would be so intimidated, and would be terrified by a firearm. Such a good opportunity was missed in vain."

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes were also gloomy: "Xiling doesn't want to borrow troops, then we have no chance of winning, so we will hold our troops for now."

Most of the foundation of the Xiao family has been destroyed, and if they confronted with force again, they would be seeking their own death. Only if they can hold their breath, can they last forever and have a chance to seek great success.

Prime Minister Xiao naturally knew this truth, so when Xiao Yu wanted to bring Xiao Yan back to Anzhou, he did not stop him, but left a way out for the Xiao family.

Prime Minister Xiao mentioned another matter: "Rong Jiu knew that Lingnan would rebel, but he didn't move. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes showed a deep look, and she thought deeply: "She didn't move, she must have already made arrangements. The old seven came back from Lingnan, and there must be a thorough arrangement in Lingnan."

"It's Yunjin," Prime Minister Xiao said firmly, "Lingnan borders Xiling, and it's only a few hundred miles away from Linfen City. It's no wonder that he has been reluctant to return to the imperial court. Rong Jiu's move is really deep."

"Rong Jiu must have the bargaining chip in his hands to compete with the 20 troops in Lingnan. Lingnan has no leader now, and the morale of the army is unstable. In this battle, Lingnan will definitely lose. Although the Ai family hates her deeply, she is the only one in the world. , is qualified to be the opponent of the Ai family, the Xiao family has been planning for so long, but they can't escape, in the future, they will hide their strengths and bide their time. Once, His Majesty could bear it, but now, our Xiao family can bear it!"

"Follow my aunt's teachings."

"Rong Jiu already knew that we had hidden troops in Panlong Mountain, and thought of a way to withdraw back to Anzhou. Chang'an looks calm now, but Ai's heart is always a little uneasy. The withdrawal of troops should be done sooner rather than later."

"Although Anzhou is our territory, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be Rong Jiu's eyeliner. There are too many people rushing in suddenly, and it is easy to arouse suspicion. Now we have no foundation in the court. If something happens, we will have no soldiers If it is available, then it is too passive, and this matter can only be discussed in the long term."

"Isn't Yu'er in Anzhou? With her means, what's the difficulty in uncovering a few secret works?"

"She just doesn't want to interfere with the affairs of the Xiao family, so she avoids Anzhou."

The Empress Dowager Xiao frowned when she heard the words, and then her expression darkened again: "There is no deep hatred between father and daughter. She is the daughter of the Xiao family, so she should bear the responsibility of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has already had a Xiao family." If, she can't abandon the Xiao family like her aunt did, and after the new year, when she is called back, she will be almost sixteen, and it's time to discuss marriage with her."

Prime Minister Xiao's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Does Auntie have someone he likes?"

Empress Dowager Xiao pursed her lips, and said meaningfully: "The one who is beneficial to my Xiao family and can help the Xiao family achieve great success is a good match."

"Yes, nephew understands."

"This secret road will also be sealed by the Ai family. The Xiao family will recharge their batteries in the future and should not act rashly. As for the affairs of Anzhou and Panlong City, you can handle it according to your needs. Your Majesty promised that the Ai family will not touch you." The position of prime minister, but Rong Jiu and Chu Xun will never allow you to regain power, and you will be marginalized in the court in the future, so you should think of a countermeasure as soon as possible."

Prime Minister Xiao responded to what Empress Dowager Xiao said one by one, and Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand: "The Ai family is tired, you can go back."

"Aunt, take good care of your wounds, and take care of yourself." Prime Minister Xiao stood up and cupped his hands.

After he left, Empress Dowager Xiao summoned secret guards and asked them to seal all the secret passages.
