As for Ma Zheng behind him, he was not empty-handed either. He was holding packages of various sizes, which looked like a lot of food.
"Look at this, this is a dog who loves but can't get it. Tsk tsk." Xu Tianze complained in a low voice to Xichen who was sitting opposite him, with the corners of his mouth twitching.
When he saw Long Musi like this, he suddenly remembered that when he was young and naive, he also cared so much about Song Yu, but in the end he still had nothing and was even schemed against by others, just like him now.
Xichen couldn't help but burst out laughing, then stood up and gave his seat to Long Musi. He stood obediently behind Xu Tianze with a smile on his face.
"What are you talking about?" Long Musi looked at Xichen strangely, then sat down opposite Xu Tianze.
He was not surprised by Xichen's behavior. After all, he and Xichen had different identities. Although he didn't understand why Xu Tianze was more indulgent towards the ordinary-looking boy in front of him.
But that didn't stop him from being disdainful of Xichen's status as a servant, so naturally he wouldn't think too much about it.
"Nothing. I see you've been quite idle lately. So, are you planning to be a coward in Jiangnan?" Xu Tianze shook his head, opened the oil paper package, and tore off a chicken leg.
Although Xu Tianze promised Long Musi to lend a helping hand, he was still rather lazy. After all, his advice would not be needed for the time being.
But Long Musi is different. After all, he is the pinnacle of power in Jiangnan. He should not be so leisurely. Every day he either eats from this restaurant or drinks rice wine from that restaurant.
In the past two months, Xu Tianze has eaten all the food in Zhoushan City two or three times, and he didn't even have to leave the house. It was all thanks to Long Musi who came to deliver it personally.
"Of course not. Qitian Pavilion received news that the prince is gathering a group of forces in the northwest, and Xiaoliu has already led the troops there." Long Musi waved his hand backwards, signaling Ma Zheng to bring up the rest of the food.
"In other words, Jiangnan is relatively stable now, which is why I have been relatively free these days."
"The Crown Prince has deployed his troops in the northwest, you have stationed your troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and Long Qingyi is stationed in the capital. With this three-way division, I'm afraid the enemy forces are ready to make a move." Xu Tianze casually handed a meat pie to Xichen behind him and analyzed the situation.
Long Musi nodded in agreement. They had been fighting among themselves all along. Now that there was a three-way balance of power, it seemed likely that the enemy country would also take a piece of the pie.
This struggle for the throne eventually swept the entire world, dragging everyone into the conflict.
But Long Musi believed that no matter which side they were on, they would accept the assistance of the enemy country. After all, it was just using the enemy's strength to fight against them. If they really ascended the throne, then the person sitting on the throne would have the final say on whether the previous promises would be kept or not.
"Indeed, a new group of enemy forces have recently poured into Jiangnan. At the same time, there are spies from the enemy countries in both the capital and the northwest where the prince is." Long Musi poured himself a cup of tea and slowly told the news he got from Qitian Pavilion.
"Since he's here, I think he will come into contact with you soon. Then it will be clear whether he is a human or a ghost." Xu Tianze didn't care much about what Long Musi said.
After all, no matter what the situation is, as long as they show their fangs, Xu Tianze will find a way to find flaws and make profits for himself.
What's more, now is such a good opportunity. Xu Tianze believes that these enemy countries will just sit back and watch. The difference lies in whether each country invests multiple times or only once.
"Can we get more in-depth information from Qitian Pavilion?" Xu Tianze tapped the corner of the table with his fingers habitually. "For example, are they from Lanming Country or Cangjie Country, or both?"
After saying that, Xu Tianze raised his head and waited for Long Musi's answer. He was not actually asking about the affairs of the two countries.
He was also asking Long Musi how detailed the intelligence coverage of Qitian Pavilion was.
Even when Long Musi gave Xu Tianze a lot of convenience, Xu Tianze did not get the intelligence coverage standards of Qi Tian Pavilion and could only know the information he wanted.
This kind of information usually passes through Long Muse before it reaches his hands. In other words, what he can see is always what Long Muse allows him to see, or what Long Muse wants him to see.
When Long Musi saw the seriousness in Xu Tianze's expression, he knew what Xu Tianze was going to ask. He was silent for a moment and then put the fan he always carried with him on the table.
"With this fan, you can command the Qitian Pavilion, and everyone in the Qitian Pavilion will obey you in everything." As he said this, Long Muse pushed the fan to Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze looked at the fan, then at Long Musi, and suddenly laughed disdainfully: "Long Musi, do you know why I chose Ajiang instead of you?"
"Because Ajiang never hesitates. In his heart, I am always the first, and you are not." Xu Tianze did not give Long Musi time to think, and directly threw the answer in Long Musi's face.
Originally, Xu Tianze wanted to see if he could use the intelligence sources of Qitian Pavilion to conduct a preliminary survey, or directly create obstacles for Lanming Kingdom and Cangjie Kingdom.
But when he saw Long Muse's hesitation, he gave up the idea. Long Muse was on guard against him, but in fact, it was not a problem for Xu Tianze. After all, one should always be on guard against others.
But Long Muse needed his help to come up with ideas, but in the end he made him feel restricted, which was impossible for Xu Tianze.
Either you trust him and give him power to do things, or you just keep him idle like now. Xu Tianze doesn't care either way.
But Long Musi chose to have both. He restricted him when he needed him, and let him run free when he didn't. He really thought that Xu Tianze was someone he could order around.
"Aze, that's not what I meant. If I really didn't trust you, I wouldn't have put the fan in front of you." Long Musi felt a little guilty, but when he heard that he was not as good as his deceased second brother, he straightened his chest for a moment.
People are not afraid of comparison, but they cannot be compared with the dead. In Long Musi's eyes, his second brother is already a dead man, so it's okay for Xu Tianze to keep thinking about him.
In the end, he had to keep comparing her with a living person like him, which Long Musi could never accept.
Xu Tianze snorted coldly, then slowly reached out for the fan on the table. When he really grabbed the fan, he did not ignore Long Mus's fleeting unnaturalness.
Even though Long Musi deliberately avoided looking at the fan, his eyes were always on it, and his attention was on the fan, so he naturally didn't notice that Xu Tianze was observing his expression.
