Among the five major families in Yanxi, the Liu family is the strongest, followed by the Zheng family. The Wang family has a detached status and has never competed for the position of governor. Although the ancestors of the Shi and Zhang families also served as governors, they have already served as governors.
It happened a hundred years ago, but now, even though the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, the two are still considered one of the top families in Yanxi, but it is an indisputable fact that they are relatively weak. This has been the case since Xiao Wei
We already knew about it before coming to Yanxi. From this point of view, since we want to compete for the position of governor, it is easy for the two families to join forces. However, the two big brothers Shi and Zhang joined hands at this time.
The purpose of the visit made Xiao Wei have some doubts. After thinking about it secretly, he decided to go out to greet them first and see what the two old guys wanted to do before making any arguments.
"Shi Shibo, Zhang Shishu, you have been waiting for a long time. Xiao Wang has missed the welcome, so please come to Haihan." After Xiao Wei made up his mind, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the tent. He saw Shi Wansheng and
Zhang Kaize came alone. He was slightly moved in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay. He rushed forward with a smile, bowed slightly, clasped his fists with his hands, and greeted him politely.
"You're welcome, young prince, I've taken the liberty to come here to disturb you, Haihan, Haihan." Seeing Xiao Wei coming to greet him in person, Zhang Kaize smiled and hugged his fists as a courtesy.
"Young prince, I'm offended. Hey, the matter is urgent. I disturbed the young prince's rest. I, Mr. Shi, will hold a banquet to apologize someday." Compared with Zhang Kaize's gentleness, Shi Wansheng looked rough and arrogant.
He casually arched his hand in return of Xiao Wei's gift.[
The matter is urgent? Is there anything urgent? Since Xiao Wei has learned the results of the interrogation from Ning Nan, he naturally knows that today's confusing battle is still full of fog. He does not believe in history at all. How can Zhang and Zhang start from it?
I found something very famous among them. When I heard what Shi Wansheng said, I didn't pay much attention to it. I laughed, waved my hand and said, "Two uncles, please come in."
Shi and Zhang looked at each other in a tacit understanding, each stretched out his hand and said "please", and then walked slowly into the tent accompanied by Xiao Wei.
After serving fine wine, barbecue and other items, they all retreated, leaving only the host and guest sitting in the tent.
"In today's battle, the young prince was able to command and strategize, which is rare. He also has the bravery to charge into battle. It is rare, it is really rare. When I heard Quanzi talk about the experience of this battle, I am still shocked in my heart. A hero comes from a young age.
I sigh to myself that it is too far away. Come here, Zhang, give me a bottle of wine to the young prince." As soon as the palace guards retreated, Zhang Kaize picked up the wine bottle with a smile and flattered him incessantly.
"Yes, even if this battle is commanded by me, the most I can do is protect myself. Judgment of methods to achieve such results is amazing. Hey, I, the old man, don't even want to admire me. Come on, little prince, I, the old man, respect you too.
Here's a bottle." As soon as Zhang Kaize finished speaking, Shi Wansheng also picked up the wine bottle and echoed the words with a smile.
What are these two old guys doing? Hey, there is quite a lot of nonsense! When Xiao Wei was drinking with a group of Yanxi generals earlier, it seemed that his ears had become calloused by these words, and he would not think so.
The two old guys in front of me came to visit me overnight just to talk about such useless nonsense. I cursed in my heart, but still had a gentle smile on my face, and said humbly: "Two uncles
This is such a ridiculous compliment, Xiao Wang is so ashamed."
"It's rare to win without being arrogant. Well, I, Mr. Shi, can meet a young hero like the young prince. It's a worthwhile trip!" Shi Wansheng drank all the wine in the bottle in one breath and poured it heavily on the wine.
Suddenly, he shouted loudly.
"Yes, this is the style of a general. Well done." Shi Wansheng applauded, and Zhang Kaize followed immediately.
"Tsk tsk, what a pity. It would be great if the young prince were from Yanxi. I, Old Shi, will regard you as the Grand Governor. Whoever dares to object, I, Old Shi, will be the first to let him go!"
"Yes, we in Yanxi should have talents like the young prince to support the overall situation. The young princes on the left and right are also half Yanxi people. It actually makes sense for the young prince to take charge of the position of governor."
Well, after the two old guys sang and harmonized, they praised Xiao Wei very well. Unfortunately, Xiao Wei didn't take this trick at all. He just smiled slightly on his face and didn't even bother to say any humble words this time.
Without opening their mouths like this, the scene between the two old guys couldn't go on. After each of them exchanged glances quickly, Zhang Kaize took the lead in changing the subject and said: "My dear prince, do you know what is coming today?"
Who is he?"
"I have heard a little bit, but I don't know the details. Does Uncle Zhang Shi have any accurate information?" Seeing that Zhang Kaize finally turned to the topic, Xiao Wei felt secretly shaken, but his face remained calm, but he remained calm.
’ I asked, as if the matter had nothing to do with me.
Zhang Kaize's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Well, speaking of it, this is a big regret for Yanxi. Since Shunping, although the Han people in Yanxi have multiplied day by day and the population has increased, however,
Compared with the Hus outside the Great Wall, they are still a minority after all. If we want to maintain military power to deter the Hus, the working population will be greatly insufficient. The cultivators can still cope with it, but the herders are far from enough, so they have to be replaced by the Hus.
, the Qiyan Tribe that is attacking this time is the wild horse tribe affiliated with me in Yanxi, and now they dare to hook up with the Black Bone Sect bandits and bite the master, and even almost hurt the young prince. It is really unbearable, I thought that they should be wiped out.
His tribe should serve as a warning to others!"
"Yes, these evil master-devouring slaves should be exterminated, and I have decided to report it to the Grand Governor to do this!" As soon as Zhang Kaize finished speaking, Shi Wansheng immediately said angrily.
That's it? Hey, these two old guys are still trying to beat me up, do they really think I'm a fool? Xiao Wei doesn't believe that these two old foxes came to visit me late at night just for such a thing.
Regarding the big thing, even Xiao Wei himself wanted to kill the Qiyan tribe who dared to attack him, but he never wanted to be used as a gun by these two old foxes, so he pondered for a while and said: "This is
It is difficult for Xiao Wang to comment on the internal affairs of Yanxi. If the two uncles think it is feasible, Xiao Wang will have no other objections."
Although Shi and Zhang already had a high opinion of Xiao Wei, they never expected that Xiao Wei could be so calm and calm, without any of the dandyism rumored outside. When they saw Xiao Wei, they were all stunned.
Feeling that it was very difficult, they had to exchange glances again and let Zhang Kaize speak: "Does the young prince know anything about the Black Bone Cult?"
Do you understand? Ha, it’s weird if you don’t understand! When Xiao Wei heard that Zhang Kaize brought the topic to the Black Bone Sect, he immediately guessed what Zhang Kaize was going to say next. However, Xiao Wei did not intend to use all his trump cards.
After taking it out, he pretended to be curious and asked: "Xiao Wang did have a fight with the Black Bone Sect this time, but he really doesn't know where it came from. Could it be that this Black Bone Sect has something to do with me, Yanxi?"
Is it related?"
Zhang Kaize said with a look of pain on his face: "That's exactly what the young prince doesn't know. The Black Bone Sect is one of our biggest troubles in Yanxi. It was originally an evil sect in the far west. Taking advantage of the absence of our Dayin Dynasty,
We were prepared to rise and spread eastward. Every time we had disputes with Yanxi, we had a fierce battle at the beginning of Hongxuan. God blessed us, Yanxi, and we were lucky enough to win. However, due to various reasons, Yanxi was not strong enough.
To uproot it and let it occupy Shule and other cities in the Congling area is really a pity for me in Yanxi, what a pity, what a pity!"
Ha, I used the Black Bone Cult to coax Old Master Wang, and the two people in front of me actually imitated him. What a damn coincidence! Xiao Wei felt like he was dumbfounded in his heart, but it showed on his face.
He said with an angry look: "Congling has been owned by me in the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty. How can we allow these bandits to run rampant like this? They deserve to be killed!"
Upon hearing Xiao Wei's expression, a strange light flashed in the eyes of both Shi and Zhang. After quickly looking at each other, Shi Wansheng clapped his hands and said, "What the young prince said is so right."
Damn it, a bunch of bandits dared to violate the power of our dynasty and should be killed. Alas, someone actually colluded with them secretly and even led a wolf into the house, almost killing the young prince.
, should be killed, should be killed!”[
"How could such a thing happen? Who did such an evil thing? He should be cut into pieces!" Xiao Wei followed up with a curse filled with righteous indignation.
When Zhang Kaize saw Xiao Wei getting angry, he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was full of sadness. He sighed, shook his head as if he didn't want to speak, and said: "Oh, this is a long time to say, but
I am so ashamed of Yanxi that I am really ashamed to speak out about it."
Come on, the drama is about to come out, you just keep on acting! Xiao Wei viciously disparaged Zhang Kaize in his heart, but the anger on his face became a bit thicker, and he was angry.
He opened his eyes and said: "Uncle Zhang Shi, please tell me, whoever dares to do such a rebellious and unethical thing should be punished! He should be punished!"
"Have you ever heard of the Loulan Ancient Road, my young prince?" Zhang Kaize shook his head and said nothing, but Shi Wansheng intervened.
"I have heard a little bit, but didn't Loulan move due to the depletion of water sources? Didn't the ancient road become abandoned because of this? Can it still be used?" Xiao Wei really didn't know much about the Loulan ancient road. When he heard about it, Shi Wansheng
Mentioning it really piqued my curiosity, so I hurriedly asked.
Shi Wansheng chuckled and did not speak. Instead, Zhang Kaize explained: "What the young prince said is true. Loulan had to be relocated due to the depletion of water sources. As for the original ancient road, it was also due to the lack of Loulan."
Save, a few people are traveling, but there are still some springs along this road. If a small group of people really want to leave, it is not impossible. The Black Bone Cult bandits who came this time came from this ancient road, but there is one that they must take.
This ancient road must pass through Yinxia Pass under the jurisdiction of Gaochang City. There is no other way to go. I wonder if the young prince may understand?"
"Gaochang? Yinxia Pass?" Xiao Wei murmured twice, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, he glanced at Shi and Zhang with a murderous look, gritted his teeth and said, "The evil thief the two uncles are talking about is a member of the Zheng family.
Human, eh?"
As soon as Xiao Wei said this, Shi and Zhang looked at each other and stood up at the same time: "Little Prince, it's getting late. If you have anything to do, we'll discuss it back to Jinchang City tomorrow. I won't disturb Little Prince's rest."
,Farewell, Farewell!"
Damn it, you're playing hard to get with me, well, good job! Seeing the two old foxes being so devoted to their acting, Xiao Wei was secretly amused, but he had a troubled look on his face and said: "You two
Uncle, this is..., whatever, let's discuss it tomorrow."
"Little prince, stay, stay." Zhang Kaize smiled and cupped his hands, while Shi Wansheng nodded carelessly, and the two walked out of the tent together and went on their own.
Uh-huh, these two old guys want to take advantage of me, haha, but they don't know that they just gave me a great opportunity to use my strength. Let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook and see what happens. Send away Shi and Zhang, Xiao Wei
