As soon as Xu Que said these words, Xu Maocai and the three of them all looked at him, as if they had been tapped on the mute point...
Xu Que sighed and directly told the story of his meeting with Prince Beimang, and also told the three people about the bet in detail.
After hearing Xu Que's boast about the bet in Haikou, Mo Dongsheng's brain immediately shut down. As for whether it was burned or not, no one knew.
But Xu Maocai jumped up, pointed at Xu Que and yelled: "You evil son, do you want our Xu family to perish? Your grandfather fought bravely on the battlefield for what reason? Do you think it's for this?" Don’t you know? None of the ancestors of my Xu family shed blood for Great Yan, but you jumped into the trap dug by Bei Mang. Do you want to piss me off to death? "
"Father, please calm down first. I am also thinking about our Xu family." Xu Fan quickly dissuaded Xu Maocai.
"You know nothing." Xu Maocai pushed Xu Fan back to the seat with a wave of his hand, pointed at Xu Que and said: "What if this traitor loses? If he loses, our Xu family will be charged with treason. Ah, in this life, our Xu family will be nailed to that pillar of shame by the world!"
Xu Que looked at his father calmly, and then said calmly: "Father, can you listen to what I have to say?"
"Whatever you say, you treacherous son has almost made me angry to death. I was so aggrieved when I led the troops to fight, but today I'm going to make you angry. I, I'll beat you to death..." Xu Maocai said, then Start looking for something to beat Xu Que.
Damn it...
Seeing this, Xu Que stepped on his feet and escaped from the main hall instantly!
When Mo Dongsheng saw something was wrong, he and Xu Fan immediately stopped Xu Maocai. If this really happened, there would probably be no need to discuss the matter...
"Brother Xu, please calm down and listen to what nephew Xu Quexian says."
"Dad, my little brother is doing it for the good of our Xu family. Without me, our Xu family would have been gone long ago!"
Xu Que was lying at the door, half of his head exposed, looking inside, muttering something...
Xu Maocai, who was stopped, turned red with anger and stared at the door of the main hall.
"Okay, I will give you a chance to explain. If you can't convince me, I will beat you to death today!"
Xu Que didn't tolerate his father, so he directly threw the token given by his uncle into the main hall: "I gave the other token to my eldest brother. Whoever wants to be the owner of this family should be the one, don't let me be the one!"
The moment he saw the token landing, Xu Maocai was dumbfounded, and Xu Fan was also stunned...
Mo Dongsheng looked at Xu Que at the door in bewilderment, and then at Xu Maocai. Is this the order from the head of the Xu family?
Xu Maocai looked a little embarrassed and lowered his voice: "I know I was wrong. I will wait until you finish explaining the matter next time..."
"No need, I'll wait for Beimang to chop off my head. At worst, I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!" Xu Que raised his head and looked at the sky.
In fact, he could understand Xu Maocai's mood, just as Gao Lao thought at the beginning, if the people didn't understand, the court would hate him.
Why did Xu Que put so much effort into it? Is it just to survive in this world? Wouldn't it be better to go south? How can I live my whole life gracefully with my modern wisdom? Why do I still resist this imperial society?
Xu Fan knelt in front of Xu Maocai: "Father, although my younger brother and I are your sons and should not disobey you, the family head order was given by my uncle. He hopes that my younger brother can lead the Xu family out of this gloomy place."
Xu Maocai sighed: "Your grandfather said that I am not as good as your uncle. I understand, but I am really afraid that the Xu family will fall into a place of no return."
"Did Emperor Dayan give my Xu family life? How did my grandfather die? Have you forgotten?" Xu Que said coldly: "My Xu family will not betray Dayan. I have confidence in the Zheyang County I built. Therefore, I I agreed to the bet from Prince Beimang. Mr. Gao was also there at the time. He said that the people would not understand my Xu family, and the court would hate my Xu family. Do you know why?"
Xu Maocai looked at Xu Que blankly. He didn't know, and he didn't understand the tricks of these literati.
Mo Dongsheng and Xu Fan clenched their fists. They understood and knew Xu Que's determination!
"My father once asked me if I wanted to rebel. I still said the same thing: find the wise master, turn the tide before it falls, and support the building that is about to collapse!" Xu Que looked at his father solemnly and said.
Mo Dongsheng and Xu Fan were shocked. This was the first time they heard such passionate rhetoric!
Try to turn the tide when it is falling, and support the building when it is about to collapse...
Xu Maocai nodded slightly, looked at Xu Que, and said, "As my father gets old, I will be a bystander from now on. You will decide everything about the Xu family personally. If you need to go into battle to kill the enemy for my father, just let me know."
Xu Que didn't say anything in memory, nor did he say anything rebellious. He just kowtowed deeply to his father respectfully.
Mo Dongsheng was shocked at this moment. He only realized it now. He originally thought that the head of the Xu family would be one of Xu Maofeng's two sons, but he never expected that the future head of the Xu family had already been chosen, and it turned out to be Xu. Xu Que, the youngest in the family!
But after thinking about it again, he agreed with Xu Maofeng's idea. Compared with the three older heirs, Xu Que was far more intelligent than his three brothers. He not only solved the crisis of the Xu family, but also brought a lot of wealth to the Xu family. With such a Patriarch, who is not convinced...
Xu Fan picked up the token on the ground and came to Xu Que: "This is the Xu family's face. If you throw the token away like this again, brother, I will return the token to you."
Xu Que took the token with a smile: "Don't worry, I just used it to calm my father. Otherwise, he wouldn't listen to me calmly."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me your opinion." Xu Fan pulled Xu Que to sit back on the chair.
Xu Maocai's old face was also a little blushing at this moment. He and his eldest brother had clearly made a decision, but in the end they still treated Xu Que as a child...
Hey...what a shame!
Just when Xu Maocai was sighing in his heart, Xu Que continued what he said before: "There are still more than ten days before the proficiency test. At that time, all countries will stop fighting. This will also give Beimang time to rest and recuperate. We create a lot of hidden benefits.”
Mo Dongsheng didn't care about any hidden interests and asked directly: "What about the bet you made with Prince Beimang?"
"We can defend for more than a month at most. After all, the two armies sent by the imperial court have traveled half the distance." Xu Que replied.
"You mean, the bet between you and Prince Beimang is for one month?" Xu Fan asked.
Xu Que shook his head and said with firm eyes: "At least two months, at most three months!"
"Didn't the two armies arrive at Nanfeng Prefecture?" Xu Maocai became confused at this time: "Why did we have to defend for so long?"
Mo Dongsheng and Xu Fan also nodded at the same time. They were also curious, why did they have to defend for so long?
"It's very simple." Xu Que raised three fingers and said: "First, Beimang cannot give up Nanfeng Prefecture so easily, so they will use the geographical advantages to build temporary defenses, just like the previous military crossing. Secondly, they will use the geographical advantages to build temporary defenses. , Imperial Court, please don’t forget that the Imperial Court has previously recognized the three towns in Northern Xinjiang, so the agent will find a way to attack at this time. Thirdly, the two armies are indeed very strong, but don’t forget that they came from Who transferred him? If there is a merger, who will be the coach? So, no matter what, our Zheyang County Xincheng must persist for three months!"
"What if Beimang still refuses to withdraw his troops after the palace examination is over?" Xu Fan asked worriedly.
Xu Que showed a malicious smile: "Then I will beat them until they withdraw!"
"Are you going to find out that Hongyuan is participating in the war?" Xu Maocai asked in shock.
Xu Que smiled and nodded. In fact, he had already prepared to join the war. By then, he would not only make Beimang afraid, but also make the court dare not touch him!
Because only in this way can his plan be implemented perfectly!
Mo Dongsheng said with some worry: "My dear nephew, although Uncle Mo is a civil servant, if I want to join the war, I must first understand military formations. Do you want to be a soldier in the civilized world?"
Xu Que smiled and let it slip: "Uncle Mo, I'll see when the time comes. There's no need to choose the path to Soldier Peak."
