Wan's life has been very depressed these days, but it is not because of the pressure from Wu Bikui. On the contrary, Wu Bikui is very true to his word and does not have any embarrassment for her. She has food and drink in the village and can communicate with the outside world. Keeping in touch at all times, her more than a hundred soldiers can enter and leave the village freely, and her army is only twenty miles away.
What makes him extremely depressed is this kind of waiting that lasts for a long time, and Long Zaitian's constant urging to send troops to start a war, which makes him quite angry!
In fact, this is not to blame Long Zaitian. Although he is sincerely loyal to Prince Mu's Palace, he is not the core of this plan. He only knows a little bit about it. However, because he is loyal to Prince Mu's Palace, he repeatedly urges "Wang Shuo" and Ruan Yunjia to attack. The troops were exhausted from the trek and needed rest, but it was unreasonable to say that they had rested for three days. Long Zaitian started to scold him. Did Nitama have any ideas? If he didn't send troops, he would be killed. Notified Prince Mu's Mansion.
This gave Ruan Yunjia a headache. At the critical moment when Wanshi was negotiating here, if Long Zaitian notified Prince Mu's Mansion, would it cause trouble? So he rushed to inform Wanshi, so Wanshi shouted that he would not see anyone for a few days. Of Wubikui.
Wu Bikui came soon, and Wanshi said from the beginning, we have to fight first to hide it from others!
"The identity of the eldest lady has not yet been determined, and we are going to start a fight rashly. How can we ensure that you will take the opportunity to fake it and do it for real?" Wu Bikui is not stupid. Wanshi was a little anxious: "Then what does the eldest chieftain want? If you delay it any longer, It will definitely arouse the suspicion of Prince Mu’s Mansion…”
Wan Shi analyzed the key points and finally persuaded Wu Bikui: "In that case, let's have a fight tomorrow. The eldest lady can attack first. How about being defeated ten miles into the country and defeated at twenty miles away?" Wan Shi couldn't help but I'm willing. I'm a guest from afar. You have to let me win a battle first to boost my morale, and show it to Long Zaitian, so that he thinks I have the strength to pacify you, so that it will be easier to do things later.
But Wu Bikui is not willing, and I cannot lose. Otherwise, the morale and morale of the people under the rule of his soldiers and horses will be greatly affected. I am in a situation where I need the public support and morale very much, so I must win in the first game. win!
The two were at loggerheads and broke up unhappily. Wan's heart was filled with 10,000 grass and mud horses rolling in and out, and she was very upset. She sent someone to call Ruan Yunjia to discuss it, and finally felt that she was asking for cooperation from others and should not be too forceful. , I have to give Wu Bikui something sweet.
So he called Wu Bikui and said, OK, I'll let you win the first game, and let's start the battle at dusk. At that time, the dim light can cover up the flaws, making it difficult for Long Zaitian to notice that they are acting.
Wu Bikui was overjoyed. He agreed to the decision but objected to starting a war immediately. The reason was still the same: I am not sure of your identity, and who knows whether you will take advantage of troubled waters. This made Wan Shi so angry that he yelled at Wu Bikui for his lack of sincerity in cooperation.
If you want to be sincere, you must first confirm your identity. I guess that person will be back soon. He has been waiting for two and a half days, not less than a day and a half. You are so eager to start a war, which makes me even more suspicious of your identity... …
Having said this, Wan was helpless again, so Zhou Ding took the opportunity to comfort him: "At the latest before sunset tomorrow, if that person hasn't come back yet, let's sing this part first, and that's considered our sincerity! As for the eldest lady, , it’s not that difficult to drag it out for a day and a half.” Having said this, Wan could only accept it.
Wu Bikui, who was about to leave when it got dark, suddenly got the news that someone from Prince Mu's palace was in a nearby village. So he hurriedly went with Zhou Ding to see him, but he was suddenly dumbfounded. It turned out to be a Taoist priest!
What the hell is this? Wu Bikui was confused, but Zhou Ding knew that this Taoist priest had an extraordinary status. He was a confidant of the great eunuch, and his eloquence was extraordinary. Seeing Zhou Ding's respectful demeanor towards the Taoist priest, Wu Bikui went up. Don't dare to neglect.
Li Muxian walked in a hurry day and night, regardless of fatigue, and went straight to the point: "Can you confirm the identity of the Wan family?"
Zhou Ding and Wu Bikui analyzed Wan's words and deeds in the past few days and believed that the person was most likely Wan himself. But Li Muxian decided to meet him in person. He was good at observing words and emotions and was proficient in psychological analysis. Even if he had never met Wan, he could still tell a rough idea from his words and deeds.
"Hasn't anyone from the Wan family been seen in Kunming City?" Wu Bikui was very confused. Li Muchian shook his head: "The Duke of Guo said that the Wan family rarely showed up on weekdays and few people had seen her. It was before the Duke of Guo. It’s not like I haven’t met him before, I haven’t met the chieftain either.”
Wu Bikui thought about it, but he still didn't give up: "Didn't Prince Mu's Mansion find out the information about Wan's departure from Mengzi?"
"If so, why bother to let this poor Taoist do it?" Li Muxian was a little unhappy. Why did this guy talk so much nonsense? Wu Bikui knew he had made a mistake when he saw his demeanor and quickly apologized: "I am reckless, rude and not good at words. Don't blame me, Taoist Master" Li Muxian Smiling slightly: "Let's think about how to phrase it."
After the three people discussed it, they went to the village where Wan's family was.
Here Wanshi has already fallen asleep. Hearing that Wu Bikui brought someone here for identification, he couldn't help but be happy. Unexpectedly, this person arrived late at night. That's great. Once his identity is confirmed, he can cooperate seamlessly, so he put on his clothes He got up and hurried to the lobby. Before he even stepped in, he asked, "Where is he?"
Li Muxian followed the reputation, and with just one glance, he could tell that it was genuine.
The reasons are very good. First, people in high positions have a kind of momentum. Wan is Sha Dingzhou's wise wife, helping to take care of the government and military affairs in the territory. In Amizhou and Mengzi, one person is more powerful than ten thousand people. The kind of aura cannot be faked by just looking for someone, not to mention she is a woman. There are very few women with this kind of aura in this era, and fake ones cannot pretend to be like this.
Secondly, when Mrs. Wan came in, there was a faint look of joy on her face and she was a little impatient, which showed that she was also thinking about confirming her identity quickly. If she was fake, she must be panicked. Even if she could hide it, there would be traces!
"I have seen the eldest lady before." Li Muxian took a step forward and said, "I haven't seen you for several years, but the eldest lady still has the same style."
Wan was a little surprised to see that it was a Taoist priest, but she soon returned to normal: "When did the Taoist priest see the Nu family?"
Li Muxian pretended to be pretentious: "It's still the day when the eldest lady is happy, well, it's about the same time..." He said, clasping his fingers: "It's been almost ten years, and the eldest lady's appearance hasn't changed much... It's strange. What a wonder.”
I have to say that Li Muxian is a bullshit. Wan's ex-husband was famous for his rebellion in 1631 and remarried Sha Dingzhou the following year. Twelve years ago, Wan would not even remember that there was such a person like him, but it is obvious that this The Taoist priest looked like he had clearly seen her before, and his mouth was very sweet. There is no woman who does not love beauty, and no one does not like to hear that her years have no trace.
"Hey, old man, it can't be as good as before." Wan Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head, but the joy between his eyebrows could not be hidden at all. Li Muxian was also very happy, because he had already confirmed that the person in front of him was Wan Shi himself, so he turned around He said to Wu Bikui: "Lord Chieftain, this is indeed the eldest lady. I remember when the eldest lady was happy, Pindao went to send gifts. Oh, by the way, Pindao had not yet become a monk at that time..."
"Okay, okay" Wu Bikui pushed Li Muxian away: "Since you are the real eldest lady, then everything will be easy to handle." He said and bowed his hands to Wanshi: "My eldest lady, please don't blame me for my rudeness before..."
"It's not strange, it's not strange. It's human nature for the chieftain to have concerns. Now we can cooperate." Wan's face looked happy, and Wu Bikui laughed: "I am willing to work together with the eldest lady to overcome this difficulty."
"In this case, let's discuss the matter of starting the war tomorrow," Wan said urgently: "As discussed before, the slave family will attack ten miles first and retreat without being defeated, and then..."
"After that, the eldest lady worked hard, defeated first and then won. The army advanced and marched to Yuanmou City..." Wu Bikui said with a smile, and Wan's face also looked happy: "As long as we delay it for ten days, there will be news from the border. At that time The son of the Mu family must be too confused to be with us, and may even try to win over us again to show our goodwill and we will jointly resist Zhang Xianzhong..."
