(Thanks to the 41st new alliance leader Liuchi Qingfeng...)
Liu Qiong'er thought what kind of excuse Xu Huai's words were, but after staring at Xu Huai for a while, she could understand that he was not joking. She sighed and said: "I really want to find excuses, but there are no excuses."
…”
"Tell me about it." Xu Huai said lazily.
"Whether it is state or county officials, Deng Gui, or even Xu Wufu and Xu Wujiang, they all think that as long as Wang Zhen dies in Huaiyuan, Tongbai Mountain will return to its former peace."
Liu Qiong'er sat hugging her knees, put her chin on her knees, and said,
"I initially overheard that Zheng Hui was plotting behind the scenes, and you have also read Chen Tong's secret letter to Deng Gui. You can conclude that it is Zheng Hui who is planning everything behind the scenes. Deng Gui and Xu Wufu also believe that as long as Wang Qi is alive,
If he died, everything would calm down, so he decided to treat Xu Wujiang as an abandoned son and die. Xu Wujiang hid in Jinshagou, and soon there was news that they had fled to Hutou Village but were rejected. In addition to secretly
In addition to convicting Xu Wujiang and the others of defecting to bandits, Zheng Hui should have wanted to use Pan Chenghu's knife to get rid of Xu Wujiang and the others, right? Of course, there was no problem for Zheng Hui to do so, after all, he initially believed that Xu Wujiang was bad.
Their good deeds can be used as a trick to kill someone with a knife, so why not do it?"
"..." Xu Huai nodded and said, "At this point, everything seems to be no big problem."
"I didn't see any problems before, but Pan Chenghu was so stupid and we made him so embarrassed. Why didn't Zheng Hui make any move? He even sat back and watched Deng Gui have the opportunity to gather the local soldiers to fight Pan Chenghu.
Defeated and allowed us to capture Xiema Mountain comfortably? After Deng Gui defeated Pan Chenghu's bandits, he originally had the opportunity to capture Xiema Mountain in one go, but he made no further moves. Instead, he happily returned to Huaiyuan and prepared to step down.
.This can only show that Deng Gui was not under the direct control of Zheng Hui, but Zheng Hui should not have thought of making trouble at this time. Why didn't he do the push? Did he really sit back and watch Xu Wujiang back him?
How magnanimous did the Xu family become after winning Xiema Mountain?"
"Yes, if Wang Zhen has been killed, they shouldn't bother to solve our minor problems," Xu Huai said, "but Zheng Hui is planning everything behind the scenes, and Wang Zhen is still alive, so he should have
The ability to prevent Deng Gui from leading his countrymen to attack Pan Chenghu's bandits; and when Deng Gui defeated Pan Chenghu's bandits, he should also be able to secretly push Deng Gui to further capture Xiema Mountain - this is also
It was something that all the big clans would like to see, but Zheng Hui just didn’t do it..."
"Let me tell you, you can actually see that there is a problem here, right?" Liu Qiong'er hugged her knees and said, "I think Zheng Hui is more likely to believe that after Guo Caoling takes over, the entire Tongbai Mountain will be under his control.
When the time comes, he can mobilize the bandits from Hutou Village to besiege Yuhuangling and Xiema Mountain without any scruples, without worrying that the Huaiyuan Inspection Department will gather rural soldiers to attack his retreat, so he is anxious to start from this.
From a perspective, by killing Guo Caoling, you actually broke his situation and eliminated the crisis for the Xu family..."
Xu Huai smiled and said: "Your rhetoric is quite good at fooling people - I really have to let you women argue the truth!"
"Go, I'm telling you the truth." Liu Qiong'er pushed Xu Huai angrily.
…………
…………
Guo Caoling was assassinated and died. Deng Gui temporarily transferred more than a hundred rural soldiers from Shangliu Village to strengthen the defense of the military village and market. The remaining rural soldiers were disbanded on the spot.
The flowers bloom on the street and slowly return.
Xu Huai, like a lazy boy, excused his lumbar injury and leaned against Liu Qiong'er's soft shoulder. He looked at the misty rain outside the car curtains. Occasionally, he could see six or seven rural soldiers riding mules and horses or carrying guns and shields.
, traveling together from south to north.
After all, there are few people in the mountains and fields, and some weeds spread into the middle of the dirt road.
The biggest advantage of this is that when the rainy season comes, the dense grass roots will tighten the soil, so the road will not be too muddy and difficult to travel.
When the stream swelled, the stone beach at the mouth of Qingliu Creek could not be crossed directly, so the carriage crossed the river at the Qingliu Creek Bridge.
Xu Wuqi was wearing armor and holding an iron spear in his hand. He reined in his horse and stopped in front of the village gate. Rainwater dripped from the front eaves of the village. When he saw the carriage crossing the bridge, he drove his horse over.
Xu Wukun pulled up his horse and stopped the car.
"Xu Wuqi, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Xu Wuqi's arrival was unkind, Xu Wuliang stared at him warily, held the knife in front of him and shouted.
"Is it something you bastards did?" Xu Wuqi held the iron spear in front of him and stared at Xu Wukun. Xu Wuliang looked at it for a long time and then drove his horse closer, ignoring Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun.
They all stood up from the front of the car, stretched out their iron spears, and opened the curtain of the car.
Xu Xiaohuan and Liu Qiong'er were frightened and looked at Xu Wuqi blankly; Xu Huai sat up straight and held his straight-spine knife horizontally in front of the paint.
Seeing the carriage slowly going south on the north bank of Shituoling, Xu Wujiang guessed Xu Wukun. Xu Wuliang took Xu Huai back. At this time, he didn't care about exposing his identity, so he put on a big bamboo hat to half cover his face.
Together with Su Laochang and Xu Guanshan, they rushed to the Qingliu River Bridge.
But they didn't expect that Xu Wuqi was neatly dressed and single-handedly intercepted Xu Huai and others in front of the Qingliu River Bridge.
Xu Wujiang rushed forward and asked in a deep voice: "Lao Wu, what do you mean?"
Xu Wuqi withdrew his spear and let the curtain of the carriage slide back to its original position. He stared at Xu Wujiang, whose face was half covered by a big bamboo hat, and placed the iron spear across the horse's back. The veins in the hand holding the iron spear were exposed, and he could be seen.
He was suppressing the overwhelming anger in his heart, and his voice was extremely cold:
"You have been hiding for more than a month, how dare you show your face now? You used the Xu clan as a threat, and you could say you had no choice. What happened last night? You really wanted to force three or four thousand clan members to join you.
Are you happy because of the bandits? Do you really think I dare not kill my relatives out of justice today?"
Xu Wuqi came out of the village alone in neat clothes. Someone had already reported it to Xu Wufu;
Go down.
"Wu Qi, what do you mean by this?" Xu Wufu asked, trying to stay calm and not letting his hand holding the reins tremble.
"Everyone go back!"
Zhou Jing, who followed Xu Wufu out of the village, was shocked in his heart. He knew that what Xu Wuqi said was not trivial and could not fall into the ears of irrelevant people. He quickly told the dozens of village soldiers who were following him from the village to go back.
, don’t stay by the Qingliu River Bridge.
"I heard about Guo Caoling's assassination in the early morning, and I was just guessing, thinking that these bastards wouldn't be so bold, but everything in front of me shows that I still underestimate these bastards!" Xu Wuqi said fiercely.
He spat into the grass beside him, as if he was good-natured enough without taking any direct action.
"Dad, please don't be merciful at this time. If you hesitate any longer, sooner or later the Xu family will be dragged into a place of eternal destruction by these bastards!" Xu Heng almost screamed uncontrollably.
At dawn, he heard that Guo Caoling had been killed in the military camp. Knowing more about the inside story, it was not difficult for him to guess that the person secretly protecting Wang Zhen had taken action.
At that time, he was still worried that their previous plot would be exposed and the assassins would attack them. But when he heard that the assassination was actually planned by people like Xu Wujiang, he surprisingly lost his fear and instead became furious and uncontrollable.
In his opinion, the Xu Wujiang people should be imprisoned immediately and sent to official positions, so that the Xu people would not be dragged into a place of no return.
Xu Wufu also stared at Xu Wujiang in disbelief. No matter how hard it was to contain the rage in his heart, he asked one word at a time: "Is it true that everything that happened during the inspection of Sijun Village last night was caused by you?"
Xu Huai opened the car curtain and saw that Xu Wufu looked like he was going to eat Xu Wujiang alive. He leaned against the side panel of the car and glanced at Liu Qiong'er.
Seeing that Xu Huai wanted her to stand up and take the blame, Liu Qiong'er gave him an annoyed look with her beautiful eyes, and finally got out of the carriage with a low body.
Of course, she still didn't forget to step on Xu Huai's ankle to relieve her anger.
Women are so petty!
Liu Qiong'er also pretended to be pretentious, staring at the crowd half-circled in front of the carriage for a while, and then smiled sweetly:
"It is said that the eldest son of the Xu family, the eldest son, is a rare hero in Tongbai Mountain. However, when something happens, he is scared to death. He is not as knowledgeable as a female like me. It is really going to make people laugh!"
"Miss Liu, is there any room for you to speak here?" Xu Wufu asked coldly, with his hand on the saber at his waist. He hesitated whether to kill the flower with his own hands and let people like Xu Wujiang know that he was also dignified.
"I wonder if Chushan Yakshahu is qualified to stand here and say a few words?" Liu Qiong'er asked in a cold voice with a pink face.
"..." Xu Wufu, Xu Heng, Xu Wuqi, Zhou Jing and others all looked at Liu Qiong'er, their mouths wide open, and each of them could stuff an egg into it.
"I'm just saying that she instigated Xu Huai to do this!" Xu Guanshan couldn't hold himself back and complained angrily to Su Laochang from behind.
Su Laochang, who had reacted violently after hearing the news in the early morning, calmed down at this time and gently patted Xu Guanshan on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.
The character "Murderer Chushan Yaksha Fox" was left on the wall of the room where Guo Caoling was assassinated. It may have spread throughout Tongbai Mountain, but Xu Wufu, Xu Heng and his son never thought that they would not be able to redeem themselves from Yuehong Mansion.
Liu Qiong'er, who is two months old, is the "Chushan Yaksha Fox"!
As for who did the assassination, it no longer matters.
The important thing is that they never expected that Liu Qiong'er was the mastermind behind the assassination!
Or could it be said that Liu Qiong'er is the person who secretly protects Wang Zhen and makes everyone sent by Cai Zheng worry about her?
"Zheng Hui brought many good men to Tongbai Mountain, wanting to help his master Cai Zheng to get rid of the political enemy Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Zhen, but he never dared to do it. The Xu family master probably did not expect that the person who made Zheng Hui worry so much was me.
A woman with no strength to tie a chicken?" Liu Qiong'er stood up holding the carriage pillar, staring at Xu Wufu and asked with a smile.
Seeing that Xu Wufu was shocked by her preemptive attack, Liu Qiong'er added: "...Pan Chenghu led a group of thieves to attack Lutai Village, and suggested that Xu Jie level lead people to burn Xie Mashan, cut off Pan Chenghu's retreat, and suggested that Xu Jie level
Isn't the Xu family leader also surprised by threatening him with the title of Prime Minister of the Xu clan, forcing the Xu family master not to persecute me any more? I am a powerless female person like me?"
"What kind of persecution? I don't understand what you are saying." Xu Wufu denied it.
Liu Qiong'er said calmly: "The Xu family master pretends not to understand, but the two people around you really don't understand. However, I can explain something for you and let them know that the Xu family master,
How did the eldest son seek skin from a tiger, persecute his own family members, and finally end up in a cocoon of his own..."
"No matter how many lies you tell, what's the use?" Xu Wufu said calmly.
"Then let me ask the Xu family head again. I have long seen through the conspiracy of the Xu family head and Deng Gui to send Xu Jie level and others to Qingxizhai to die. I am also the one who rushed Xu Jie level to flee the army.
Is the Xu family leader also surprised by the unbound female generation?"
Although Xu Wufu knew that Xu Wujiang and the others were suspicious early on, he asked Liu Qiong'er to tell the truth directly, but he still retorted in anger: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Chen Tong, the food supervisor in Tangzhou, is the internal agent of Privy Councilor Cai Qing and the mastermind Zheng Hui in the state and county. How big a secret can this be? If I don't even know this, how can I keep people like Zheng Hui under my control?" Liu Qiong
Er's beautiful eyes stared at Xu Wufu and said with a contemptuous smile, "As for the Xu family master, you probably think that a character like Zheng Hui is invincible, so you are so afraid that you only dare to hide back to Lutai Village? Or maybe the Xu family master, the eldest son is like this
I haven't figured out yet who the Privy Councilor Cai Zheng sent to Tongbai Mountain to assassinate Wang Zhen?"
Xu Wufu's face turned blue and white, and he didn't know about the leak of Deng Gui's secret letter. Seeing that Liu Qiong'er actually knew about the existence of Chen Tong, he was frightened inside, so what else could he argue with?
I think that no one knows everything, and even if I am suspected, I am not afraid that the other party will have any evidence.
However, all this was ruthlessly exposed at this time by a weak and helpless harem they usually admired. Who wouldn't be shocked and frightened?
But seeing Xu Wuqi, Zhou Jing looked over in surprise. Xu Wufu wanted to make a final defense, but Liu Qiong'er didn't give him a chance and said:
"The situation that the Xu family is in today is purely because of the cocoon created by you and your son. Xu Wujiang did not expose this matter, which has already given you face. And today, you should not resent me for privately encouraging Xu Huai to kill Guo Caoling.
If Guo Caoling does not die, the Xu family will be wiped out suddenly, and the situation will never calm down because of Wang Zhen's death. I encourage Xu Huai to assassinate Guo Caoling, not because I want to drag the Xu family into a place of eternal disaster.
Yes, I am saying these things today not out of anger, but because I must embarrass the Xu family leader and eldest son. I really can’t bear to see you being played by Zheng Hui anymore. I will stop here.
If you still don’t understand anything, just send someone to Hutou Village to find out!”
Liu Qiong'er let go of the car curtain and sat back in the carriage, leaving Xu Wufu and others looking at each other outside the carriage.
Liu Qiong'er took the knife from Xu Huai's hand, opened the car curtain a crack, and asked Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun with a look of displeasure: "Why don't you leave? Mr. Xu, the eldest son is like a pimple.
