Chapter 226 Don’t worry

"What if the lawsuit goes to the King of Qi?" , It's still calm, and the court has not said anything."

At this point, Xin Ran's voice couldn't help but become louder, "Your father has understood the situation these days. It's no longer comparable to power. Is the Jinyang Wang family big or powerful? Were they not suppressed by Shen Xiu, a poor family member?"

"How powerful are the two Wang families? Why is he older 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 He simply believed that the power in his hands was earned by himself." 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 it. He will fall soon."

"Then why did you give your sister to Xi Wei as your concubine?"

" I won't suppress anyone this time." Xin Ran said coldly, "If they don't let me have an easy time, I won't make it easy for them. Fortunately, my father sent someone to deal with the people around Xi Wei and got the exact information about Xi Wei. This time, when I saw that the other governors were ignoring him, I decided to take down my father to establish my authority, and I wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey. "

"Of course I can't bear to give Wan'er to Xi Wei as my concubine. Aren't there still excellent troops from the Bo Dao people in this city? Wan'er doesn't stay with them every day."

" Father, you understand, let Zhou Xing and the King of Hejian fight dogs?"

"It was Zhou Xing's men who killed Xi Wei, but Zhou Xing was the son-in-law of the Wang family, and this Xi Wei was originally His origins are not right. He, the King of Hejian, can only suffer the consequences of being dumb. And Zhou Xing’s subordinates are good at killing ministers. Even if this minister’s origins are not right, the dignity of the court must be maintained."

"Xi Du, after today, you and I will be a family. I hope Xi Du can sit in front of the wine table on the west side of the Hejian Palace with a smile on his face. He raised his wine glass and said this to Xi Wei. The wine table is one foot high and three feet long. There are fine wines and delicacies on it, which makes people salivate.

“This request is quite reasonable. "Xi Wei thought to himself, but with a smile on his face, he raised his wine glass in response and said: "From now on, we are all a family, so naturally we have to support each other. Luo Shang's 100,000-strong army was severely defeated by the refugee army and returned home. Governor Xin was originally a soldier in a county, but was defeated by the refugee force. I think your Majesty and everyone in the court can understand this. ”

Xi Wei had already made up his mind when he came here this time.He wanted to capture 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.

The crime of stealing the imperial scepter is not a small one. 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. That is to say, Yabo publicly expressed his willingness to accept his dispatch. This gave him 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 according to the orders of the King of Hejian. I really can't tell which 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 shouldn’t eat the five tripods, but cook for the 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 was from a poor family. His father had already died on the battlefield, and it was Huangfu Yong, the king of Hejian, who single-handedly raised him up. 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 his previous difficult life. 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.

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 he should show off himself and show King Hejian that he is no better than Li HanThat guy is bad. "Xi Wei fell into deep thought as soon as he got these two pieces of news.

When he came, Li Han Qian warned Wan to maintain the current situation of confrontation with the refugees, and neither a big victory nor a big victory was necessary. Defeat. Of course he 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 him as if he were nothing? p>

“Only if the power in your hands is stronger, you can control the situation more by yourself. Those county guards will look at me more highly, and His Highness King Hejian will also value me more. ”

It was with this idea that Xi Wei came to Deyang to find Xin Ranstu. 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 was here He was looking for trouble with the dignified Grand Administrator of Guanghan, and it was on his territory.

His caution reached its peak when Xin Ran proposed to give 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 belongs to the Xin family. She is a wealthy family in Shu.

Xin Wan is our lady and a female monk. Before, he thought it was too high a price to even ask for a female monk to be his head wife, let alone ask someone to do so. Concubine.

Gu Xian

His original identity as a riding governor was not enough in front of a dignified prefect of a county. The only thing he could rely on was his stolen court certificate.

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 something from me, that's fine. It's even better if you don't use weapons. Anyway, my goal is to gain 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. He is everywhere in the country. His connections are better than those of a soldier who came from a poor family and has been working in the military camp. This is also a critical moment when he loses most of his territory in Guanghan County. Otherwise, I am afraid that others will not take a look at him, just like the county guards 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." "Xi Wei had already secretly made up his mind to get closer to Xin Ran. "Don't worry, Prefect Xin, I will find a suitable time to make Miss Xin my first wife, Xi Wei. "

"Fuck you, you are a poor person and you want to marry my Wan'er as your official wife. You are going to die today. "Xin Ran cursed with disdain in her heart, but her face was full of smiles, "It's so good, it's 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, reflecting the faces of everyone in the courtyard.

This time Xi Wei came to Deyang 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 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 everyone to form a circle and shoot in turns. In the end, he killed 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 Bo Dao people fighting in a last-ditch battle under Deyang City, killing 500 people and leaving more than 2,000 refugees fleeing in embarrassment. This made him wonder what this meant. I can't help but take a high look at the outstanding civilians and soldiers. 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, the Bodao Tinghou Zhou Xing, who is 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 he was in Chang'an. But at that time, Shen Xiunai was aloof and a confidant of King Zhao Huangfulun, while Xi Wei was just the Western Army

For Shen Xiu, he felt three parts contempt, three parts admiration, and four parts Very afraid.

He despises Shen Xiu for having no moral integrity and doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

What he admired was that Shen Xiu was a very deep man who could not express his emotions or anger. Moreover, he was like a poisonous snake hidden in the depths, and would not let go as long as he bit him.

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 level 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 knows the heights of the world. He knows in his heart 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 soldier of the common people of Bo Dao, he would not back down.

MyselfAfter all, he was sent here by the King of Hejian, and he was also the one holding the imperial scepter. He had 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.

Meet you? Too bad.

Are you not going to 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 it 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 rabble, and secondly, it was probably because the legendary Marquis Bodao Tinghou 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 close aide 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. He is a fellow countryman and 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 cautious and cautious, and he is the person Xi Wei feels most at ease with.
