Chapter 41: Ten Thousand Miles to the Rong
As soon as this said, not only Xiao Yun, behind the left screen, suddenly jumped up with excitement, but also the young man who was stomping on the couch, put down his feet and sat upright.
Only the only Beidi man in the hall snorted heavily, hugged his hands on his elbows, and said coldly: "What does Hanting mean?"
"Everyone sit down first."
Xiao Han smiled and reached out to soothe the guest.
Everyone crossed their hands and bowed slightly to Xiao Han, and found their place to sit down.
The Beidi people still stood with a gloomy face, staring at Xiao Han without saying a word.
"This time, Beidi only gave you one post. That's because, the thirteen members of Beidi, only your clan, have the same idea as Hanting."
Xiao Han warmly raised his hand and carried the pot, poured the wine into his ears one by one, slowly pushed down along the Qushui, constantly in his mouth,
"The Central Plains, the four barbarians, the nine borders. After all, they are all human beings.
"If you are a person, you have to eat. If you have no food, you have to find a way. No matter where we sit, we agree with this kind of thing.
"The Northern Di is also a man, and the Southern Barbarians are also a man. The so-called thieves in the west and pirates in the east are all the same? Who is really a fairy monster who can eat the wind and drink the dew?"
Everyone laughed softly and nodded slightly.
After hearing these words, the Beidi people finally calmed down and put their hands on their waists: "What did Hanting want to do when he found these people?"
His eyes looked at the four old men.
"Qi Xia is about to start war again."
Hanting said lightly, lowered his head to drink.
Everyone whispered, their faces changed drastically!
"Young Master Han, don't be exaggerated!" A man who was bulging with his chest and arms, clearly a martial arts practitioner jumped up, his face full of purple and swollen.
Xiao Han put down his ears and raised his lips slightly: "Seven years ago, when Xiqi was about to launch a military force with Daxia, no one dared to answer my post. At that time, someone noticed something abnormal, so he made some preparations. Xiqi returned without success.
"This year my post came to Xiqi. Until the last moment, a concubine's son from a polite house came. However, even if your surname is Bu, with your identity and ability, he is not worthy of coming to my Hanting Yaji.
"So it can be seen that you actually know nothing and can't make decisions. Even if I ask you something or blame you, it will be difficult for you to take responsibility. The only possibility is to pay my life to me."
Xiao Han raised his hand and pointed at him with a smile: "You were sent to me by your family."
The man was even more at a loss and had to straighten his spine and raise his head higher, and his voice became louder: "Why should you kill me!"
"Then I will ask for the Xiao family, the governor of Youzhou. Last year, Xiqi agreed to hand over the murderer who poisoned the young master of the Xiao family. Today, have you brought the person?"
Xiao Han looked at him with a funny look, just looking at the fish to be cut on a chopping board.
The man had no more words to answer, shouted with a loud voice, rushed towards Xiao Han with bare hands and empty fists: "Demon! I'll kill you!"
A crossbow arrow roared over!
With a bang.
The man fell to the ground, blood flowed out along the crossbow arrows on his vest, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.
Someone came in outside and carried the body out in an orderly manner, and wiped away the blood on the ground.
The study person's face was red and white, his hands and feet were shaking, and he retching.
"Who is this young man from?" Hong Guoying looked unhappy when he looked at the man.
"Old Hero Hong, Han Ting's rules and identities, if you don't want to reveal them, others cannot ask."
Xiao Han stopped him with a smile.
"Hmph! This weak look must be from us. I asked who the kid is, and I will teach their elders a lesson when I go back! How many years have passed? The children of the aristocratic family dare not even see blood!"
Hong Guoying became more and more angry as he spoke, and stared at the scholar with his eyes.
"Forget it! Old hero, let's talk about serious business!" Qian Dasheng quickly interrupted, then respectfully brought a glass of wine, stood up to greet the old man, and then looked at Xiao Han: "Young Master Han, I heard that Daxia will open a court in Dongning Pass. If Xiqi is using military force against Daxia at this moment, this matter of court will be left unresolved, right?"
Xiao Han nodded: "That's exactly what it is."
As he said that, he sighed and put down the wine cup in his hand:
"The war in Qixia continues. One reason is that the current general of the auxiliary country in Daxia really likes to fight. The new emperor was too young when he ascended the throne and was used to being restrained by him, so it is difficult to refute now.
"The second reason is that there are too many troubles in the country in Xiqi. As long as the king is troubled by the government, he will provoke border provocations. If there were still some sober people in the court many years ago, they would not fight against Daxia, but join forces with Daxia to Jingbian."
Hearing this, the Beidi man snorted, sat heavily in his seat, picked up his ears, poured a cup of wine in big mouthfuls, and threw the cup on the mat with a slam.
Someone had already put a pottery pot on him, brought him a wooden plate, and there was a steaming and fragrant roast chicken inside.
The Beidi people then stretched their eyebrows, pinched the wine pot with one hand, grabbed the roast chicken with the other, and ate it with one mouthful of meat and wine with one mouthful of wine.
Xiao Han looked at him and smiled, without stopping, and continued, "But now, in the Western Qi Dynasty, there are no one in the court who dares to offend Yan Zhigui, and only the most popular ones to connect with the harem. There are no ones who can dissuade Emperor Qi from doing anything wrong."
Speaking of Xiqi, everyone went silent.
Especially the bearded old man, known as Xiao Baoshan, who was called Xiao Laoying, had a dull expression and was worried and depressed.
"After all, it was the disappearance of Prince Feng back then."
Qian Dasheng spoke carelessly, and the sarcasm on his face was very strong, "The original wife is dead, and even a man wants to marry another young and beautiful one. This is understandable.
"But our Emperor Qi, it would be fine if we marry a Nanyue County Lord as the successor, but we shouldn't have forced the eldest son of Queen Yuan to run away from home!
"This is counted, but the most typical way to kill a wife with a favored concubine!"
The scholar's face turned red again, and he opened his mouth a little uncomfortable. He was about to speak, but he couldn't help but look at Hong Guoying, then swallowed all the words back and served the glass to eat wine honestly.
"That's someone's backyard, let's ignore it."
Xiao Han waved his hand and looked at everyone, "I invited all the old heroes to come this time. It's really because the court in Dongning Pass is extremely important. I want to see if you have any solutions to make this court still open."
"The battle between Qi and Xia has always been unstable. Nanyue will get some cheaper as usual. Beidi follows the same thing, so naturally he will not miss such a good opportunity. Therefore, if you want to start this battle, unless the battle between Qi and Xia cannot be fought."
Fairy He said, sighed and shook his head, "The General of the Assistant Kingdom wants to make contributions, military power, money and food. Emperor Qi wants to be purified. He wants to make this war unable to fight unless the swords and guns of both countries are cut off!"
Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads according to this.
Xiao Han chuckled softly, changed to the overheated wine pot, poured the wine one by one again, pushed it down along the hot spring quiver, and said leisurely: "It's not necessarily true? We were just talking about the battle that happened seven years ago, didn't it start?"
"That time, the late emperor of Daxia died. Xiqi wanted to take advantage of the situation. But Daxia made sufficient preparations, so Xiqi returned in vain."
Xiao Baoshan couldn't help but speak, his voice was low and dull.
These words attracted everyone to nod.
"So, is there no other way?"
Xiao Han smiled warmly and looked around.
Hong Guoying avoided his gaze.
Xiao Baoshan also turned aside.
Fairy He was a little confused.
"Okay, stop watching!" Wan Dahai, who had a beard on his face, slapped his thighs, and his voice was as loud as thunder. "I was our second boy back then. He went to Xiqi and burned his military weapon warehouse! That's why this battle didn't start!"
Fairy He yelled and looked at him: "Brother Wan, you said, yes, it's Xiao Erlang, that trip?!"
Wan Dahai raised his head high and gave up his face: "Yes! Our Wan family is just stealing! What's wrong?"
"With the reputation of one family, we will pacify the swords and weapons of the two countries and save the people from water and fire. If this is called stealing, then I would also be a stealing person."
Xiao Han spread his sleeves, bowed his hands, and bowed respectfully to Wan Dahai.
"Brother Wan, Han Zhen is afraid that your little brother will be famous all over the world, so he makes things difficult for you and finally drives you out of the court!?"
Fairy He suddenly understood and looked angry!
"A small matter! My sons are not good at all. The only one who can still be used is our second boy. But that trip, he was also injured. If this matter is spread, Xiqi will take revenge. Apart from me, others will probably not even have the power to fight back. The General of the Assistant Kingdom can be regarded as a safeguard for my ten thousand families. I appreciate it."
Wan Dahai was open-minded and transparent, laughing with a red face.
"However, I'm afraid I can't do this for the second time."
Xiao Baoshan looked up and looked at Xiao Han quietly.
Xiao Han looked at him with a smile: "With the ability of the old hero Xiao in Xiqi, if he wants to do it, he can do it even if he does it for the last three times."
Xiao Baoshan sank his face and grew up: "Hanting Yaji has had a good reputation for decades. The first thing he did is not to force people to do things he didn't want to do. What?! Now that it is passed on to Mr. Han, will this rule be broken?"
"How dare you?"
Xiao Han smiled, bowed his hands, and bowed again, his face hidden behind his sleeves, "I just wanted to know that Old Hero Xiao said: Someone has done this.
"There will naturally be many obstacles when returning home. Others are no problem. But if you take action by Mr. Xiao personally, my poor subordinate will probably fail.
"So my younger generation asks you to drink here, and don't help the ambitious people in Xiqi, just do it."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they slapped their high-highs: "Old Hero Xiao, please stay. Let's have a drink and chat together, isn't that good?"
Xiao Baoshan's eyes shook over the other three old men, and anger flashed in his eyes: "So Mr. Han invited me, these three old friends, to trap me here?"
"Brother Xiao, when the four of us were fighting for wine on the top of Mount Hua, we didn't decide the winner. In the final order, we counted who won more on the battlefield. Now thirty or twenty years have passed, my younger sister's alcohol tolerance has not decreased. I just don't know what happened to Brother Xiao, Brother Wan Er and Brother Hong San?"
Fairy He also asked for a pottery pot with one move, and raised her silver-white willow eyebrows high and laughed happily.
