"Where will those pieces of wood drift to?" Looking far away, Wang Mi suddenly murmured this question.
"have no idea."
"It should go down the river." The soldiers stepped forward and looked in the completely opposite direction, not paying attention at all.
"Even if those timbers were picked up by those downstream, they would not be able to use them anymore because they were all destroyed by the river water."
Yeah?
Wang Mi shook his head, worry lingering...
…………
Wang Mi's sadness and sadness will be put aside for the time being. There are many people in the garrison who are more worried than him.
As soon as Dong Fuhai left with his front foot, Xie Xuan's back foot showed his true colors.
His long sleeves were fluttered, and all the black and white pieces on the chessboard were swung to the ground by Xie Xuan. There was a clanging sound, and they were like falling pearls, glowing and scattered all over the ground.
Those chess pieces were originally placed on the chessboard, safe and sound, and no one was provoked or provoked.
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Xie didn't get his way, he called them all to the ground. Poor Xie Xuan often boasted that he was a good chess player.
In fact, not only was his chess skills average, but he also had no respect for the sport. His polished, priceless black and white stones fell to the ground and bounced everywhere, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
"Maide Lang, tell me, is Sima Yao crazy?"
In front of Huan Chong and other elders from aristocratic families, Xie Xuan could no longer pretend. Sima Yao promoted Sima Daozi to the position of minister. This was definitely a major event that touched the core interests of several major families. No matter how hard Xie Xuan concealed it, Huan Chong could still see it.
After all, he would never be able to calm down inside.
Huan Chong's mood was not affected. Unlike the Wang and Xie families, the Huan family always had treason in their minds.
They never wanted to blindly support those Sima family's losers.
Huan Chong bent down and picked up the fallen chess pieces one by one, very patiently.
"Youdu, why do you have to do this?"
"The old Sima family supports their own people, what can be wrong?"
"In the past few years, among the major families, none of them has promoted people who are not their own or their own clan."
"We all think this way, what's wrong with the Sima family thinking this way?" Huan Chong's tone was particularly calm, as if he was an outsider.
Hey!
This old man, where does he stand?
"I didn't expect General Huan to be so considerate." Xie Xuan's words had a contemptuous tone.
Huan Chong didn't care at all. After picking up all the chess pieces, he sat down safely and asked Xie Xuan to sit down too.
"Look at you, you are already a general, but you are still so uncontrollable."
"What a big deal."
"Whatever happens, there is a way to solve it."
The boy handed over two cups of tea, and Huan Chong took a sip from time to time, feeling very good.
Xie Xuan knocked on the table hatefully, still unable to swallow his breath.
"It's not that I can't hold my breath, but I can't let the Sima family step on us!"
"Maide Lang, aren't you angry?"
Huan Chong smiled and said: "How is that possible?"
"I have long said that the people of the Sima family are unreliable. Not only me, my brother also said that I invited you to achieve great things together, but you were unwilling to cooperate and insisted on pushing out the puppets of the Sima family one by one.
.”
"My eldest brother had foreseen it a long time ago. Although the Sima family is mostly trash, if it continues like this, powerful people will definitely come up. By then, it will be very difficult for several big families to deal with it."
Xie Xuan nodded repeatedly, but thought in his heart, to put it nicely, Huan Wen just wanted to replace him back then. When did he want to join forces with several major aristocratic families?
Listen to him.
"Then look, what should we do now?" Xie Xuan leaned forward and humbly asked for advice. He was not convinced, but he still wanted to rely on Huan Chong's power.
It was not because Huan Chong was so smart and capable that he deserved Xie Xuan's win over, but because, as an important force in the court, the Xie family could not sit back and watch Huan Chong go to the opposite side of the family and run to stand with Sima Yao.
At this time, it is necessary for Huan Chong to pour out the water in his head. Don't be confused and understand your position.
Huan Chong didn't even think about it and said easily: "What else can I do?"
"Our Jingzhou Department will definitely give full support to the Wang and Xie families. However, you also know that our Huan family will never openly participate in such matters in the court."
"So, it's useless for you to worry about this now. The army is out there and can't take care of the affairs of the court."
"The key depends on Mr. Xie's decision."
Huan Chong's words gave Xie Xuan, who was in a rage, a wake-up call. Did Xie An know about this?
There is no doubt that Sima Yao has not heard about it. Even with Sima Yao's anxious attitude of taking advantage of others' danger, Sima Daozi has already begun to give advice in the court of Jiankang City!
How would Xie An react?
I’m very excited just thinking about it!
Perhaps, Xie An’s letters giving instructions are already on their way!
"Youdu, you don't have to worry about the Huan family's attitude on this matter. No matter what, we can't let the Sima family ride on the heads of our great families and dominate!"
Huan Chong's eyes were very firm, which made what he said at this moment a little more credible. Xie Xuan lowered his head slightly.
It can be regarded as recognition. Generally speaking, because of the Huan family's bad record, the Wang and Xie families cannot fully trust them.
However, the fact that Xie Xuan could sit with Huan Chong at this moment and talk calmly without any offensive words was already a big news in the Jin Dynasty.
That is to say, Xie Xuan is a junior. If it were Xie An, he might not be able to have such a decent conversation with Huan Chong.
The vast majority of the children of the Jin family are idle people who are not engaged in production, let alone martial arts. They clearly know that to protect a court, it is not enough to rely only on words and cunning.
Martial arts is an indispensable strong backing. However, because he cannot do it himself, he in turn discriminates against the aliens in the family, such as the Huan family of Qiaojun.
Judging from historical records, when Huan Wen was still alive, he was suppressed and despised at family gatherings.
Only three or five of them can be written into the history books, so you can imagine how many personal attacks Huan Wen would receive from the children of aristocratic families who started like him at that time.
Although Huan Wen occasionally rode his tall horse past the children of aristocratic families and showed off his strength, but a careful comparison shows that Huan Wen was still at a disadvantage.
Perhaps, Huan Wen finally had the desire to usurp the throne, which was also an act of resistance under years of suppression. To make these children of the aristocratic family who despise him crawl at their feet, the only way is to seize the throne!
When we arrived at Xie Xuan's place, comparatively speaking, under the leadership of Xie An, the overall atmosphere of the Xie family was relatively clean.
In addition, in terms of seniority, Xie Xuan was younger than Huan Chong, so his attitude towards Huan Chong was quite kind, which made Huan Chong feel a lot more comfortable.
