Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Five: Pindao is willing to be this wicked man for his brother
When these words came out of Su Gu's mouth, the atmosphere between the two parties, which had originally relaxed, became tense again during the moment.
Preventing the troops behind Xiao Wen from entering the city is Su Gu's biggest bottom line.
A general comes with troops, what is his purpose?
What does he want to do?
Although Xiao Wen did not explain all these things clearly, Su Gu could guess them.
After all, the soldiers below should originally belong to Liu Yan.
Although Su Gu thought he had done things very secretly over the years, logically speaking, others would not discover him.
But he was not sure whether Liu Yan would notice any clues.
so……
It would be better to be more secure.
As long as these soldiers are kept under the city wall, what will happen even if Xiao Wen enters the city?
Today's Hanzhong County and Xicheng County seem to be under the control of Wu Dou Mi Road, but Su Gu's control over this area is still not weak!
Don't forget, he is the prefect!
He is an important official appointed by the imperial court.
Therefore, Xiao Wen can enter the city, but the soldiers behind him cannot!
Even if the two sides really get into trouble in the end, he is sure to suppress Xiao Wen.
After all, this Xicheng County is his base camp!
Even if Xiao Wen disagreed, he had already thought of thousands of reasons to block Xiao Wen.
Anyway...
No matter what, Xiao Wen will not be allowed to lead the army inside.
However, what surprised Su Gu was that Xiao Wen only remained silent for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, what you say makes sense, and I, the general, have no reason not to obey."
"However, if the general brings a few of his cronies in, the governor won't stop him, right?" Xiao Wen said with a chuckle.
How many cronies?
Su Gu raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he wanted to refuse, he also understood that this was Xiao Wen's bottom line.
After all, this man is a hussar general personally appointed by the emperor. Although he is not a local snake, he can still be regarded as a dragon across the river. He must still give him the face he deserves.
In desperation, Su Gu could only nod and accept the matter.
Afterwards, Xiao Wen ordered Dian Wei, He Yi and Mo Yu to go out and let the remaining soldiers camp on both sides of the gate of Xicheng County.
He also specifically emphasized that they should leave the road open and not block the entry and exit of the people in the county.
When these words came out of Xiao Wen's mouth, Su Gu's face turned dark instantly.
This guy, just set up camp and block the door. What's going on?
However, even though he was full of ridicule, he ultimately chose to remain silent.
After all, this guy Xiao Wen is not easy to mess with!
Shut up when you should shut up, this is the best choice!
"Since Mr. Su has no objection, I will go in. After traveling for so long, my legs are numb. It's time to find a place to rest for the night." Xiao Wen muttered.
Although he was mumbling, his voice was extremely loud, and he obviously meant it deliberately for Su Gu who was standing beside him to hear.
Hearing these words, Su Gu rolled his eyes and understood, and immediately replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, general, I will arrange for someone to prepare a banquet to welcome the general!"
"As for his residence, Xianguan also has a secluded house in the city. Although it is a bit shabby, it is still quite quiet. The general can rest in the house. I will arrange for someone to take the general there."
Su Gu's voice sounded and fell in Xiao Wen's ears. Xiao Wen smiled slightly, reached out and patted Su Gu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "In this case, I can only bother you."
Su Gu quickly replied with a smile, and the two foxes got together and talked to each other in official accents, smiling but not smiling.
People who don't know may still think that these two guys are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. Now they finally bumped into each other, and they just got together and kept talking.
Fortunately, this polite scene did not last long, and Su Gu found someone to take Xiao Wen and others down and send them to the "shabby house" to live.
It is said to be a "shabby house", but the grandeur of this place is not much different from my own Long Mansion in Luoyang, right?
Dragon Mansion was the residence left by the former high officials. Although it was deserted, after Xiao Wen's cleaning, its splendor was about 50 to 60% of its former glory.
But even so, can the mansions in Luoyang compare with those in small counties?
Not to mention such a "shabby house" in Xicheng County, even if it is placed in the entire Yizhou, it is the best "luxury house"!
It seems that Mr. Su's net worth is far deeper than I imagined!
How much wealth and support do you have to plunder to achieve such an achievement?
Xiao Wen sighed silently in his heart and walked into the mansion to rest.
During this period, the mansion came to ask if it was necessary to kick out all the maids and cooks in the entire mansion.
When Xiao Wen heard these words, he had some thoughts at first and even wanted to respond.
But after he thought about it carefully, he still rejected Dian Wei's proposal.
"It doesn't matter, just leave them here, but let Mr. He take care of the things they need to eat and wear every day, and check them a little before eating. I will go to the room to rest for a while. If someone comes to visit, you can call me again."
Xiao Wenyan said.
Hearing this, Dian Wei nodded, indicating that he knew, and turned to leave.
…
Outside the west county city, Xiao Wen led the army to arrive. Such a big noise naturally spread to the ears of everyone in Wu Dou Mi Road.
However, these believers are currently busy with the positioning of the two Taoist camps and have no energy to think about trivial matters outside.
There were even many disciples of Wu Dou Mi Dao who fought over the dispute between Dao disciples. Even within an hour after the disciples of the two lines met, more than a dozen fights broke out, large and small.
The scale of the fight varied, and in the end it even alerted the elders of the inner sect, who took action and suppressed the matter.
However, just when these two people were fighting fiercely, deep in the headquarters, deep in the courtyard where Xiao Wen had been before, in an underground secret room, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu were sitting face to face.
There are two cups of tea and some snacks in the middle.
While drinking tea and eating snacks, the atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious. There were no rumors that the two leaders would fight if they disagreed.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother's teaching on this trip would be so wonderful. However, since Junior Brother is back, he will just bring his disciples back, so why bother to promote a Taoist disciple?" Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Xiu and asked in a calm tone.
.
"What do you think, senior brother?" Zhang Xiu asked with a chuckle.
Before Zhang Lu could answer, he replied to himself: "Someone hopes that junior brother will come forward and pull you from the position of leader, and then take the position of leader yourself."
"And the person who made this request is none other than the newly promoted Daozi mentioned by senior brother."
"In recent years, in order to grow stronger and not arouse the fear of the high-ranking officials, Wu Dou Mi Dao had to divide into two factions and fight against each other."
"You have been pretending for a long time and it has become a fact! Although my senior brother does not want to admit the current Five Pecks of Rice Dao, I have to say that the current disciples in the sect are not pure."
"The Wuliang Sect is lurking in Yizhou and has been able to live in peace and harmony for so many years. There must be their internal agents within the Five Pecks of Rice Road."
"It's just that my junior brother is not talented and doesn't know where those people are hiding. I have no choice but to choose this stupid method."
"Lead the snake out of the hole!" Zhang Lu understood, looked at Zhang Xiu, and said.
"Yes! But it is also for internal cleaning!"
“The Five Pecks of Rice Road has been in chaos for so long, and it’s time to consolidate it.”
"I am inexperienced and incompetent, so I am willing to be this evil person for my senior brother!"
