After settling Sun Tu and the other two in their own garden, Xifeng Chang brought the newly acquired horses to the real home of the Xifeng family, a mansion that covers an extremely large area and is as majestic as an imperial palace.

The guards here are tight, and there are still one or two miles away from the gate, and dozens of elite Xia soldiers were already marching. However, Xifeng Chang could walk straight in as if no one was around, and soon arrived at the side gate on the left. After explaining a few words to the guard leader there, he held over a hundred horses, and he led the most majestic white horse and continued to walk into the mansion.

The mansion of Xifeng seems to be luxurious enough from the outside, and after entering it, it is even more amazing. Not only are there many houses, but a wide horse racing road was also built. This strange architectural style looks quite suitable at this time, which makes people feel natural.

At this time, just as Xifengchang was about to get on the horse and go inside, a fast horse suddenly ran up ahead, and the horse was a handsome young man in a white robe. After seeing Xifengchang, he immediately stopped the galloping horse, then looked at him from a high place and said, "Eighth brother, why did you come back from Wulahai just a few days?" As he said that, his eyes fell on the white horse next to him, and his expression suddenly condensed.

The anger in Xifeng Chang's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said, "It's thanks to Lao Liu, you asked your father to send me to Wulahai to see it, otherwise I really couldn't find such a BMW. Don't say, this dragon horse is rare in the Liao Kingdom. If you hand over this horse, I think my father will definitely be very satisfied."

"Haha, I'll say, Eighth brother, you will definitely gain a lot when you go to the Wulahai where young people are paying attention to. Isn't that all? So, you have to thank me for it." This guy smiled reluctantly, feeling that he had no intention of staying here after he miscalculated. He immediately raised the reins again, and the horse control and the thin seal passed by.

A gloomy flashed across Xifeng Chang's rough face. He was stunned for a moment before he got on the horse's back. Then he suddenly lifted the reins and urged the horse to shoot forward like an arrow. He looked around and cheered. The horse's speed alone exceeded the hundreds of horses in the mansion.

However, the people around him selectively ignored the hostile conversation between the two sons of Xifeng Yechang. Because this was already a secret published in Shunjun City. Everyone knew that the sons in the lord's family had been in a long time, and they fought openly and secretly on weekdays. Even the father-in-law himself turned a blind eye. Naturally, they dared not say more, and of course, sometimes it is inevitable to take sides.

Xifeng Yechang is 42 years old, with a total of twelve sons and seven daughters. It’s okay if his daughter and his three underage sons, but the remaining nine sons are not easy to take advantage of, especially the eldest son Xifengyun, the third son Xifengyao, the six son Xifengjian and the eight son Xifengchang. Because of his outstanding ability and ambition to take over as the leader of the clan, the relationship between the four has always been like water and fire, and fighting is inevitable. They were still restrained when they were in front of Xifeng Yechang, the father, but once they met in private, they really dared to do anything and dared to say anything.

Xifeng Yechang actually knew why the four outstanding sons were so fussed, but he did not have the idea of ​​being friendly and respectful to the Han people. If Xifeng wants to continue to be strong, the successor must be excellent enough. So in recent years, he has also deliberately let the four sons fight and choose the best one from them.

This time, the reason why Xifengchang went to Wulahai City was actually a very critical test, to see if they had the vision and luck to find treasures from the people. Because of the fact that they had been plotted by Xifengchang before, Xifengchang had to go to a small town like Wulahai to find treasures. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Sun Tu and the others, he would have really returned empty-handed this time. So he was full of resentment towards his sixth brother. If he hadn't been in the mansion, he might have had to turn against him.

After adjusting his mentality, he finally entered his father's study room - it was said to be a study room. In fact, there were only a few books in it, including weapons such as bows, crossbows, scimitars, and a huge map of sheepskin. It was exactly the situation and geographical map of the three most powerful countries today - Liao, Song and Xia.

The burly body and legs of the thin Feng Yechang, who had been riding a horse for many years, has been standing in front of this picture for a long time. Even when he heard someone coming in, he had no intention of turning around. He still looked at the map thoughtfully, and after a while, he said, "Ba'er, what choice do you think if the Liao and Song dynasties start war?"

Xi Fengchang was not surprised that his father could hear that he was coming if he didn't turn around. He just pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, we should strictly adhere to neutrality until one family is out of support, and then take advantage of the situation to send troops to seize enough benefits."

"Yes, this is the key to the prosperity of our Western Dynasties in just a few decades. But our national strength is far inferior to that of the Liao and Song dynasties, so sometimes we have to obey the instructions of the great powers and do things that go against our intentions. In the end, the number of attacks on the Song Dynasty was forced by the Liao Kingdom. Even if we won those battles, we still gained benefits, but the loss of national strength and troops was still real." Xi Feng Yechang said before turning around.

If it weren't for knowing that this was an important official of the Xia State or a patriarch of the Eight Dangxiang tribes, many people would think that he was a Han Confucian scholar when they first saw him. Because he seemed very gentle and elegant in terms of appearance and temperament, he was completely different from the rough Dangxiang people. That is, the son of Xifeng Chang was more imposing than him.

Xifeng Yechang's father turned around and bent down to salute, but he didn't rush to speak, but just waited for the other party to continue speaking. The words just now were not casual, and should have a deep meaning. Sure enough, Xifeng Yechang quickly said: "This time, the emperor's birthday was congratulated by both the Liao and Song dynasties. This is a grand scene that has not been seen in many years. But what is their purpose? It is very difficult to think about..."

"Did the father mean that they sent envoys to get our country to send troops at that time?" Xifeng Chang frowned slightly: "What does the emperor mean?"

"Of course there is no conclusion yet, but judging from the news from Xingqing Mansion, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to hold back this time. Humph, Li Qianshun was also a hero of the Western Dynasties back then, but now he is getting older this year, but he has begun to be confused. He didn't know that the battle between the Liao and Song Dynasties was secretly instigated by us. The best way for my Western Dynasties was to watch the changes, and he actually planned to get involved. It was really ridiculous!" He was full of disdain for his own emperor, without any awe.

Xifeng Chang did not mean to persuade him. The biggest difference between the Xia people and the Han people is that they are not too awe of imperial power, especially those who lead their own clans like the Xifeng family have done a lot of things to plot against their own emperors secretly, let alone talk between father and son.

But he frowned: "Is that father going to give advice?"

"Will Li Ganshun listen to my words? I'm afraid that he will think that I have a ill-gotten intention, so this matter must come to other people, some people who can gain his trust. This is the most important point when you go to Xingqing Mansion this time."

"I understand." Xifeng Chang was immediately delighted. It seemed that his father had to hand over this important matter to him. Once the matter was done, his weight in his father's heart was naturally very different. But soon, he was confused again: "It's okay if the eldest brother and third brother are not in Shunjun City, why didn't his father hand over this matter to Xifeng?"

"He? Humph, he has a completely different view from you and me. He actually thinks he should turn to Liao in this war to seek greater benefits."

Hearing the obvious dissatisfaction in his father's words, Xifeng Chang felt more and more happy, and immediately responded again: "I will definitely not disappoint my father this time. Whether it is the officials in the court or the princes, there are always people who understand the truth who stand on our side. When they make suggestions, the situation will be stabilized."

"Well, I, Xifeng, cannot come forward to this matter, so let others do it." Xifeng Yechang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked again: "By the way, how did you gain this time?"

"It was here to report to my father that I bought more than 100 Liao horses in Wulahai City, and there was also a rare divine horse in the world, which could be a birthday gift for the emperor." As he said that, he clapped his hands and someone outside the door led the white horse out.

Even Xi Feng Yechang's eyes lit up when he saw this horse. He walked out the door and looked up and down for a long time before nodding with great satisfaction: "This horse is indeed very divine, and it is not even worse than the treasures found by others. Well, this time you went to Wulahai and you have really gained a lot."

"I did get an unexpected big harvest, not because of this horse, but because of a man, a talent who defected from the Liao Kingdom." Xi Feng Chang immediately revealed the details of his encounter with Sun Tu and his deep conversation with him. Finally, he even praised: "This Sun Qianli is really a rare talent. He is the best choice for both civil and military affairs and is brave. If he can use it well, he will be a great helper."

"Since you say that in your eyes, this person is indeed capable. But... you say he came from the Liao Kingdom, and it is inappropriate to use him casually." Xi Feng Yechang said with some concern: "He is not a member of our tribe after all, and maybe it was specially arranged by the Liao people."

"But..." Before Xifeng Chang could defend anything, Xifeng Yechang had already waved his hand and said, "You can still use it, but before that, you have to try him..."
