"What if the lawsuit goes to the King of Qi?" Xin Ran looked at her son and said in a sullen voice, "Xi Wei is protected by the King of Hejian, which means that he has taken away Master Liu's integrity, and it still remains today.
The situation is calm and the court has not said anything. What does your father have?"
Speaking of this, Xin Ran's voice couldn't help but become louder, "Your father has figured it out. These days, the sect can no longer compete with power. Is the Jinyang Wang family's sect big or strong? At the beginning, it was not dominated by Shen Xiu.
The poor people are really oppressed."
"The two three princes of the Wang family are more powerful than Shen Xiu." Xin Hui said in confusion.
"The Wang family is shameless, but Shen Xiu is shameless. The Wang family does everything according to traditional rules, and Shen Xiu does everything according to his own interests. The Wang family still feels that the power in their hands is given by the emperor, but Shen Xiu doesn't think that the power in her hands is at all
I fought for it myself." Here Xin Ran sighed again, "Your father made a mistake at first, thinking that King Zhao and Shen Xiu could continue to succeed, so he publicly supported King Zhao, but he didn't expect that they would fall so quickly."
"Then father, why did you give your sister to Xi Wei as your concubine? Are you going to bet on the King of Hejian this time?"
"I won't suppress anyone this time." Xin Ran said coldly, "If they don't let me have an easy time, I won't let them have an easy time. Fortunately, my father sent someone to take care of the people around Xi Wei early, and got the exact information about Xi Wei.
When Wei came this time, he saw that the other governors were ignoring him, so he took his sights on his father, and wanted to win over his father to establish his authority, so he came to kill the chicken to show the monkey. This is unbearable!"
"Of course I can't bear to give Wan'er to Xi Wei as my concubine. Isn't there a fine army of Bo Dao people in this city? Wan'er doesn't stay with them every day."
"Father, the child understands, let Zhou Xing and Hejian King dog bite dog?"
"It was Zhou Xing's men who killed Xi Wei, but Zhou Xing was the son-in-law of the Wang family, and Xi Wei had a bad background. He, the King of Hejian, could only suffer the loss of being dumb. And Zhou Xing's men were good at killing ministers who held righteousness.
No matter how bad this minister is, the majesty of the imperial court must be maintained."
"The plan of killing two birds with one stone is really high." Xin Hui couldn't help but praise with admiration after hearing this: "Father, you are really smarter than Zhuge Wuhou back then."
"Director Xi, after today, you and I are a family. I hope that Governor Xi can say a few kind words for me in front of His Royal Highness King Hejian." The inner hall was brightly lit, and Xin Ran sat with a smile on her face.
He placed himself in front of the wine table on the west side, raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Xi Wei from a distance. The wine table was one foot high and three feet long. There were fine wines and delicacies on it, which made people salivate at the sight.
"This request is reasonable and reasonable." Xi Wei thought to himself, but with a smile on his face, he raised his wine glass and said, "From now on, we are all a family, so naturally we have to support each other. Luo Shang's army of one hundred thousand was especially defeated by the refugees.
He returned with a great defeat. Governor Xin was originally a soldier of a county, but he was defeated by the forces of the refugees. I think your Majesty and everyone in the court can understand this."
Xi Wei came here with the intention of capturing Xin Ran. He had just received news that the King of Qi had ordered the appointment of Liu Chen, who had stayed in Chang'an "due to illness", as the new governor of Yongzhou. Although there was nothing about him.
News, but he knew that his most dangerous time was over.
The crime of stealing the imperial scepter is not a small one. Xi Wei was originally unwilling to accept this job. If the imperial court blamed him and the King of Hejian could not bear the pressure, Xi Wei's head would probably be hung on his head.
On top of the city wall.
When he hurried to Liangzhou with about 300 followers, the governors of the counties in Liangzhou ignored him at all. It was only when Yabo publicly expressed his willingness to accept his dispatch that he was able to find a place to stay.
Of course, he knew in his heart that Ya Bo, who had always been at odds with him, was only acting in accordance with the orders of the King of Hejian. He could not tell which day he would receive another order from the King of Hejian and take the crown from his neck.
The one with the head is still Ya Bo.
But he had no choice.
A real man should not eat with five tripods, but cook with five tripods.
When King Zhao and King Liang were successively in charge of the military affairs of the three states of Chang'an, Yongliang, and Qin, Xi Wei had experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, but was still just a commander. He believed that his cultivation and military talent could stand alone.
But after so many years, he still couldn't get a promotion.
He comes from a poor family. His father died on the battlefield long ago. He was promoted to the throne by Huangfu Yong, the king of Hejian. From being coldly looked down upon by others, everyone greets him with a smile when they see him. From the old shabby
The small house was moved to a spacious mansion. He would shudder every time he thought about the poor life before. He knew that he could not go back. If he was allowed to go back to his previous life, it would be better to let him die immediately.
When Li Han, the commander of the Western Expedition, told about this mission, so many people in the tent were talking about him and were afraid of avoiding him. The same was true for Xi Wei. But he didn't expect that he would be the first to be named by Li Han.
he.
"Fuck you, isn't it just because I'm from a poor family?" Xi Wei understood in his heart why Li Han called his name first, but he couldn't back down.
Along with Liu Chen's appointment as the new governor of Yongzhou, there was another appointment. Someone from the imperial court said that Li Han was originally an important minister of the imperial court and a third-grade monk. It is really unreasonable for such a great talent to be the chief historian of the General Zhengxi Palace.
Hiding talents. Therefore, the imperial court decided to appoint Li Han as the captain of the Yi Military Academy and let Li Han enter Beijing.
Xi Wei knew that these two appointments were King Qi's counterattack. The boots that he had been worried about had finally fallen. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he knew that his head was temporarily saved.
As for whether Li Han's entry into the capital is good or bad for Li Han himself, Xi Wei is not sure, but Xi Wei knows that this is definitely a major blow to the King of Hejian. After Li Han entered the General's Mansion of Zhengxi, the King of Hejian Huangfu Yong
He simply obeyed Li Han's advice. Everyone said that Li Han could become the king of Hejian.
"Perhaps I should show off myself and show King Hejian that I am no worse than Li Han." Xi Wei immediately fell into deep thought after receiving these two pieces of news.
When he came, Li Han gave many instructions to maintain the current situation of confrontation with the refugees, neither a big victory nor a big defeat. He naturally understood the truth, but now that the danger was over, he thought about what if he would always be like this
Quietly, as time passed, didn't the King of Hejian forget about himself like air?
"Only when the power in my hands is stronger, can I control the situation more. Those county guards will look at me more highly, and His Highness King Hejian will also value me more."
It was with this idea in mind that Xi Wei came to Deyang to find trouble with Xin Ran. He had been wandering around in the world for so many years, so he didn't know that people's hearts were sinister. This dog would jump over the wall when he was anxious, not to mention that he came to find trouble with the dignified governor of Guanghan.
And it's on someone else's territory.
His cautiousness reached its peak when Xin Ran proposed to send Xin Wan as his concubine.
Xi Wei has never been an arrogant person. Anyone who has been suppressed at the bottom for so many years will become extremely cautious no matter how arrogant he is.
He is from a poor family, and the Xin family is a big family in Shu.
Xin Wan is our young lady and a female monk. Before this, he thought it was too high a level to even ask for a female monk to be his wife, let alone ask her to be his concubine.
Gu Xian
His original identity as a riding governor was not good enough in front of the dignified governor of a county. The only thing he could rely on was the imperial scepter he had stolen.
It wasn't until he heard Xin Ran ask him to say a few nice words for him in front of the King of Hejian that he felt relieved.
"As long as you ask for help from me, it's better. It's better if you don't use weapons. Anyway, my goal is to have more power. With Xin Ran helping me, it will be better than sitting in Deyang by myself."
Thinking like this, he looked at Xin Ran with much enthusiasm.
After all, he is a prefect, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. His connections all over the country are better than mine, a soldier who comes from a poor family and has been working in the military camp. It is also a critical moment when he loses most of the territory of Guanghan County, otherwise he is afraid.
But people, just like the governors of those counties, generally don't look at me seriously.
"Miss Xin is a dignified monk. After entering my Xi family, I, Xi Wei, will never let Miss Xin suffer any injustice." At this time, Xi Wei had secretly made up his mind to get closer to Xin Ran, "Xin Ran
Don’t worry, Prefect, I will find a suitable time to make Miss Xin my official wife, Xi Wei.”
"Fuck you, you, a poor family member, still want to marry my Wan'er as your official wife. You are going to die today." Xin Ran cursed disdainfully in her heart, but with a smile on her face, "That's great.
, so good, hahahaha!”
The inner hall was full of laughter and laughter, and the outer courtyard was also brightly lit and full of people. A dozen large pine oil fire pits surrounded the courtyard wall, making the faces of everyone in the courtyard turn red.
Xi Wei brought a total of 112 elite soldiers to Deyang this time, all of whom were his old troops. Compared with Deyang and Zhou Xing's men, these 112 sergeants were all neatly dressed.
Armor. Everyone is equipped with a bow and arrow, a spear, a shield and a horizontal sword more than five feet long. Xi Wei believes that with these more than a hundred elite warriors who are good at fighting and cooperate with each other, the conflict started in Deyang City.
, and it was enough to suppress the many mobs in Deyang City who were not even equipped with weapons.
Xi Wei has been in battle for a long time. He and his twenty-six men were once besieged by thousands of Di barbarians in Didao. He commanded the people to form a circle and took turns to shoot. In the end, they only had light bows, wooden arrows and simple swords.
Thousands of Di barbarians were killed, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, and then fled. In the eyes of people like Xi Wei who have been fighting for a long time, no matter how large the mob is, it is not enough in the eyes of well-equipped and battle-hardened warriors like them.
fear.
Before he came, he had also heard the story about Zhou Xing's elite army of common people from Bo Dao who fought a last-ditch battle under Deyang City and killed 500 people while more than 2,000 refugees fled in panic. This made him wonder what the so-called elite army of ordinary people was.
Gao took a quick look. But if he had any fear, he would not. More than once, he had defeated more with less in battles with the Di barbarians. He just intuitively thought that the elite army of the people of Bodao sounded like an army.
They are battle-hardened troops, while the refugees are still a ragtag group of people.
What's more, Zhou Xing, the Marquis of Bodao Ting who was famous for killing Shen Xiu, is now in Jiangyang, and he only has more than a hundred soldiers in Deyang City.
He was unwilling to take the initiative to provoke Zhou Xing.
Xi Wei knew Shen Xiu when Shen Xiu was in Chang'an. But at that time, Shen Xiunai was aloof and a confidant of King Zhao Huangfulun, while Xi Wei was just an insignificant commander in the Western Army. He knew Shen Xiu.
, Shen Xiu didn’t recognize him.
For Shen Xiu, he felt three parts contempt, three parts admiration, and four parts fear.
He despises Shen Xiu for his lack of moral integrity and his unscrupulous ways to achieve his goals.
What he admired was that Shen Xiu was a very deep man who could express his emotions and anger, and was like a poisonous snake hidden in the depths that would not let go as long as it bit him.
At that time, everyone in the Western Army was afraid of this poisonous snake.
For Zhou Xing and Chen Rong to kill Shen Xiu together, Xi Wei felt it was amazing from the bottom of his heart and admired it from the bottom of his heart. He had also heard people talk about the scene of besieging Shen Xiu in Prince Wen's Mansion. Chen Rong was the invincible Chen Ziyin.
His son, I think his cultivation level is not weaker than his own. Even such a person and hundreds of monks couldn't defeat Shen Xiu alone, but he was finally defeated by Zhou Xing. Although Xi Wei usually thinks very highly of himself, he is not unaware of it.
He is an arrogant person who knows that the cultivation of Marquis Bodao Ting is far superior to his own.
If the dignified Jinyang Wang family is willing to recruit such a poor man as their son-in-law, then this man must have something special about him.
But he didn't want to provoke him, and Xi Wei had already made up his mind. If he really wanted to have a conflict with this elite army of Bo Dao people, he would not back down.
No matter what he said, he was sent here by the King of Hejian, and he was also a person holding the imperial scepter. He had a righteous name, even if this righteousness was stolen.
Qiao Feng did not visit him, which made him very disappointed, but he was also a little lucky. With Qiao Feng's qualifications, he really didn't know what to do if he really wanted to visit him.
Would you like to meet me? It would be too shameful.
Don't you want to meet me? It's not appropriate either.
If Qiao Feng was a monk certified by the imperial court, he could still come to receive him as a monk. But Qiao Feng was basically just a civilian.
This also made him underestimate the combat effectiveness of the elite troops in Deyang City.
The leader is just a commoner, which means there are no monks below. In the Jin Dynasty, no monks are willing to live below the common people, which is more uncomfortable than killing them.
Perhaps the reason why the refugees were defeated at the gate of Deyang City that day was firstly because the refugees were a ragtag group of people, and secondly it was probably because the legendary Marquis Bodao Ting had an astonishing level of cultivation and was an enemy of ten thousand people.
Even though he ostensibly promised Xin Ran to give Xin Wan to him as his concubine, he also specifically told his confidant Meng Fan to be more vigilant and not to take it lightly.
Meng Fan has been his subordinate in the Western Army for many years, a fellow countryman, and someone he can absolutely trust. The two of them have experienced countless battles on the battlefield together, which is a life-long friendship. Although they are superiors and subordinates in terms of status, Meng Fan has been his subordinate for many years.
, but inside they are like brothers.
Meng Fan's cultivation talent is far less good than Xi Wei's, but Meng Fan is very careful and prudent, and he is the person Xi Wei feels most at ease with.
