"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 Lord 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 family is under great pressure."
"The two three princes of the Wang family are more powerful than Shen Xiu." Xin Hui said in confusion.
"The Wang family wants face, but Shen Xiu has no shame. 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." Xinran 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 news that Xi Wei When Wei came this time, he saw that the other prefects were paying no attention to him, so he took his sights on his father, and wanted to win over him 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 the King of Hejian dog bite the 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."
"Xi Du, after today, you and I are a family. I hope Xi Du 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. This wine case is one foot high and three feet long. There are fine wines and delicacies on it, which makes people salivate when they look at it.
"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. Returning 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 stayed in Chang'an "due to illness", as the new governor of Yongzhou. Although there was no news about his incident, he knew that his most dangerous time was over.
Stealing the imperial scepter is a serious crime. Xi Wei was originally unwilling to accept this job. If the court blamed him and the King of Hejian couldn't bear the pressure, Xi Wei's head would probably be hung on 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. place. Of course, he knew in his heart that Ya Bo, who had always been at odds with him, was only acting according to the orders of the King of Hejian. I really can't say for certain that one day after receiving another order from the King of Hejian, it will still be Yabo who takes his head.
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 came from a poor family. His father had died on the battlefield long ago. He was promoted to the throne by Huangfu Yong, the king of Hejian. From receiving cold looks from others, everyone greets him with a smile when they see him. Moved from a dilapidated small house to a spacious mansion. He shuddered every time he thought about the difficult life he had lived in the past. He knew he couldn't go back. If he were to return to his previous life, it would be better to let him die immediately.
At that time, when Li Han, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, told about this mission, so many people in the tent were talking about him and were afraid to avoid 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.
"Fuck you, isn't it just because I'm from a poor family?" Xi Wei understood in his heart why Li Han was the first to call his name, 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. For such a great talent to be relegated to the position of chief historian in General Zhengxi's Mansion is to bury his talent. Therefore, the imperial court decided to appoint Li Han as Lieutenant 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 landed. This made him let out a long sigh of relief, and he knew that his head was temporarily saved.
As for whether Li Han's coming to Beijing 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. Ever since Li Han entered the Zhengxi General's Mansion, the Hejian King Huangfu Yong has been completely obedient to Li Han's advice. Everyone said that Li Han could be the home of the Hejian King.
"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 Qian warned Wan that the current situation of confrontation with the refugees should be maintained and that there should be neither a big victory nor a big defeat. He naturally understood the truth, but once the danger was over, he thought that if he was always so silent, wouldn't the King of Hejian forget about himself as if he were air as time went by?
"Only when the power in my hands is stronger, I can control the situation more by myself. Those county guards will look at me more highly, and His Highness the King of Hejian will also value me more."
It was with this idea in mind that Xi Wei came to Deyang to find Xin Rancai. He has been around the world for so many years, how could he not know that people's hearts are sinister? This dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious, not to mention that he is looking for trouble with the dignified governor of Guanghan, and he is on his 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 they are.
He is from a poor family, and the Xin family is a big family in Shu.
Xin Wan is our 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 a concubine.
Gu Xian
His original identity as a riding governor was not 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 something nice for him in front of the King of Hejian that he felt relieved.
"As long as you ask for me, it's better. It's better if you don't use weapons. Anyway, my goal is to have more power. With Xinran 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 most of the territory of Guanghan County is lost. Otherwise, I am afraid that people will not look at me seriously like the governors of those counties.
"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. 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 bustling with people. A dozen large pine oil fire pits surrounded the courtyard wall, making the faces of everyone in the courtyard turn red.
Xi Wei came to Deyang this time with a total of 112 elites, all of whom were his old troops. Compared with Deyang and Zhou Xing's men, these 112 sergeants were all wearing neat armor. Everyone is equipped with a bow and arrow, a spear, a shield and a horizontal sword more than five feet long. Xi Wei believed that with these more than a hundred elite warriors who were good at fighting and cooperated tacitly, even if there was a conflict in Deyang City, they would be enough to suppress the many rabble in Deyang City who were not even equipped with weapons.
Xi Wei was a battle veteran. He and his twenty-six men were besieged by thousands of Di barbarians in Didao. He commanded everyone to form a circle and shoot in turns. In the end, he killed the thousands of Di barbarians who only had light bows, wooden arrows and simple swords, leaving hundreds of corpses behind and fled in disarray. In the eyes of people like Xi Wei who have been fighting for a long time, no matter how large the rabble is, they are nothing to fear in the eyes of well-equipped and battle-hardened warriors.
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 confusion. This made him wonder what the so-called elite army of ordinary people was. Take a high look. But if there was any fear, he didn't have it. More than once, he defeated many with less in battles with Di barbarians. He just intuitively thought that the elite army of Bo Dao people sounded like a battle-hardened force, while the refugees were just 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.
When Shen Xiu was in Chang'an, Xi Wei knew Shen Xiu. But at that time, Shen Xiunai was aloof and a confidant of King Zhao Huangfulun, while Xi Wei was just an insignificant commander under the Western Army. He knew Shen Xiu, but Shen Xiu didn't know 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, and could not express his emotions or anger, and he was like a poisonous snake hidden in the depths, which 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 where Shen Xiu was besieged in Prince Wen's Mansion. Chen Rong is the son of the invincible Chen Ziyin, and his cultivation is not weaker than his own. Even such a person and hundreds of monks could not defeat Shen Xiu alone, but in the end they were defeated by Zhou Xing alone. Although Xi Wei usually thinks very highly of himself, he is not an arrogant person who does not know the heights of the world. He knows in his heart that the cultivation of the Bodao Tinghou 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, so 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 how he said it, he was sent here by the King of Hejian, and he was also the one holding the imperial scepter. He had a great righteousness, even if this righteousness was stolen.
Qiao Feng did not visit him, which made him very disappointed, but also a little lucky. With Qiao Feng's qualifications, he really didn't know what to do if he really wanted to come to see him.
Will you meet me? Too bad.
Won't you meet me? 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 is just a civilian at all.
This also made him underestimate the combat effectiveness of the elite troops in Deyang City.
The leader is just a civilian, which means there are no monks below. In the Jin Dynasty, no monks were willing to live below the common people, which was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Perhaps the reason why the refugees were defeated at the gate of Deyang City that day was, firstly, because those refugees were a rabble, and secondly, they were probably the legendary Bodao Tinghou whose cultivation was so astonishing that he 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, is a fellow countryman of his, and is someone he can absolutely trust. The two have experienced countless battles on the battlefield together, and they have a life-long friendship. Although they are superiors and subordinates in terms of status, they are brothers on the inside.
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.
