"It's the red scarf!" Zhao Pu, who had always been calm, changed his expression. This was what he least wanted to see. Whether Xu Xian came to help or to cause trouble, it was not a good thing.

Zhao Kuangyi stomped his feet and cursed secretly. He asked Shi San to deliver a letter to Xu Xian so that Xu Xian would not hate him in the future, but he never wanted Xu Xian to be a troublemaker at this time.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin looked calm. He turned around and strode north towards the riders, shouting from a distance: "Is this person Zhi Xian?"

Several cavalrymen stopped and dismounted more than ten steps away. One of them walked a few steps quickly and came to Zhao Kuangyin. He cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the Taiwei before!"

"Haha... It's Zhixian as expected. I knew Zhixian would definitely come." Zhao Kuangyin laughed and supported Xu Xian, "Look at your dusty appearance. I'm afraid you've eaten a lot of dirt along the way.

!”

He stretched out his big hand to wipe the dust on Xu Xian's face, "It's better to wash it inside the inn!"

As he said that, he hooked Xu Xian's neck and entered the inn side by side in full view of everyone. At the same time, he ordered: "Hurry up and get some hot water to wash my brother!"

The two entered the hall. As soon as they sat down, the attentive Yi Cheng personally brought hot water. Zhao Kuangyin twisted a dry towel to wipe the dust on Xu Xian's head and face.

Zhao Kuangyin wiped it very seriously, and his manner was very similar to the way Du Shi washed his face in Liuhewan. He also beat Xu Xian hard with a towel, looked at the dust and said: "You haven't taken off your clothes for several days."

Now that we're down, you probably didn't get off your horse to rest all the way. Xu Lang came over to help your father take off his armor."

Xu Lang came in to help Xu Xian take off his armor, and explained: "Uncle, we didn't come from Waqiao Pass. Even if humans can stand it, horses can't. Besides, there are checkpoints all the way, so we won't let go easily."

Let's come over.

We took a boat and sailed 800 miles to Chanzhou before landing. Zhenning Jiedushi had already arrived at Zhenzhou, and there were not many soldiers and horses left. My father threatened us and asked us to clear the customs."

After the young emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Yongde moved the town to the Zhongwu Army, and the Zhenning Army's military governor was concurrently appointed by Murong Yanzhao. In the past few days, Murong Yanzhao had led most of Chanzhou's troops northward.

"So that's it, we said that you thousands of cavalry have wings." Zhao Kuangyin looked at a group of generals gathered outside the door and cursed: "What are you doing? Why don't you come in and drink with Zhixian?"

The generals came in one after another, and one of them patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's really the right time to come to Zhixian!"

Xu Xian looked up and saw that it was Liu Tingrang, one of the Yishe brothers. He smiled and replied, "How can such a thing happen without me?"

"Exactly! This kind of thing requires the help of my brothers. Don't be stunned, sit down quickly!"

Liu Tingrang's attitude was cordial and his words were sincere, which shows that he thought Xu Xian was here to help Zhao Kuangyin usurp the throne, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't think so. If Xu Xian wanted to help sincerely, he should stay at Waqiao Pass honestly at this time and wait for him to ascend the throne.

It is enough to proclaim him emperor and stabilize the local border for him, and to take the lead in writing a memorial to express his loyalty.

Now that Xu Xian came with elite soldiers and horses, he must have other purposes. Zhao Pu thought the same. During the dinner, he kept instructing everyone to toast Xu Xian, and even though Xu Xian kept declining, he still got drunk.

Because there were still big things to do, even though he was a drunkard, he didn't dare to drink more. He was a little drunk and left the place to prepare.

"Zhixian is drunk!" Zhao Kuangyin supported Xu Xian, who was stumbling around, and ordered Xu Lang: "Xu Lang and I will help your father to rest!"

Zhao Kuangyin and Xu Lang helped Xu Xian, who was very drunk, into the room. They had just put Xu Xian on the bed, and Zhao Kuangyi followed closely. "Xu Lang, go and cook a bowl of sobering soup for your father!"

"My nephew doesn't know how to cook!"

"You won't ask Yi Cheng to cook it for you. You just watch from the side and bring it over when it's ready!"

After driving Xu Lang out of the house, Zhao Kuangyi immediately asked: "Second brother? Mr. Zhao asked me to ask you what to do now?"

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the chair with a hint of drunkenness on his face, and his words were indeed sonorous and powerful, "Just do what you have to do!"

Zhao Kuangyi pointed at Xu Xian on the bed, "But Zhixian seems to have come with bad intentions? I'm afraid he will cause trouble!"

"We are all brothers. Is there anything that cannot be discussed? Just do what you have to do and leave it to me!"

After Zhao Kuangyi left, Zhao Kuangyin took out a fist-sized bottle and two small glasses from his arms and put them on the table. He poured the wine glasses and said: "This Yi Cheng seems to be respectful, but he only uses rice wine to fool people. I remember knowing that

If I have enough time to drink, I can't get drunk with half a jar of rice wine. If I can still open my eyes and drink two cups of ambergris with me, this is a good wine. I can't sleep without it in the past six months!"

Xu Xian, who was on the bed, slowly turned around to Zhao Kuangyin, his eyes blurred and murmured: "I can't drink any more. If I drink too much, I'm afraid I'll miss important official events!"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and asked: "Where do you come from the official family?"

The meaning of the official family referring to the emperor existed before the Song Dynasty, but it was not commonly used.

"It refers to Brother Yuen Long!"

Zhao Kuangyin was startled when he heard this, and laughed heartily, "It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not, let's just call it this way!" After he finished speaking, he sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said: "The soldiers are forcing me, I really can't.

There’s nothing wrong with it!”

Xu Xian sat up slowly with his arms supported. He looked at Zhao Kuangyin with disdain and contempt on his face, "Brother Yuen Lang, if you don't want to be the emperor, you can learn from Yang Guangyuan and Fu Yanrao!"

Yang Guangyuan was a bald Shatuo native. He served for the Later Tang Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. He was granted the title of king and became a grand master. However, he was very greedy and cruel. When he was the military governor of Pinglu, he colluded with the Khitan invaders and was later killed by Li Shouzhen.

Such a person, when his generals encouraged him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, he cursed loudly, "Is the emperor something you can sell?"

Fu Yanrao, as you can tell by his name, is Fu Yanqing's brother. Coincidentally, he is also the guard of Waqiao Pass. When the soldiers wanted to appoint him as emperor, he killed all the leaders.

Zhao Kuangyin was startled when he heard this, and lamented again: "It's all my confidants who told me how to do this!"

Seemingly not seeing the helplessness on Zhao Kuangyin's face, Xu Xian sneered: "It is said that when Shi Jingtang was the governor of Hedong, he also killed dozens of such close subordinates. Isn't Brother Yuen Lang inferior to Shi Jingtang?"

Under the candlelight, Zhao Kuangyin's dark face turned red, his mouth opened but he said nothing.

Suddenly someone outside the door whispered: "The Taiwei is a loyal man, why should your Lord torture the Taiwei with vicious words?" A figure was seen entering the house, facing Xu Xian and said: "Your Majesty, just make any conditions you have.
