The book continues from the previous chapter. Xiao Baoyin and his young son Xiao Kai came to see Taiwei Houjin for an ulterior motive. He brought a lot of gold, silver, and rare treasures with him. However, he hit a snag and was rejected in every possible way.
In desperation, Xiao Kai persuaded his father to go back and discuss Xiao's long-term plan.
Bao Yin nodded and went back with his servants. After returning to his house, he thought about his life experience. The servants under his command had no other ideas at this time. After all, anyone who could compete with others was living under someone else's roof.
?The fate of the hero is not as lucky as that of Liu Bei
Xiao Baoyin still felt that he did not have a capable minister to help him plan. Faced with these boring situations, Xiao Baoyin was very sad. The house was quiet, and no one dared to say more.
Inside the mansion, Xiao Baoyin failed in this mission, and his ambitions have also been restrained. Outside the mansion, it is true that since the Wei army withdrew and Hou Jin was defeated, Gaoping City has fallen into a temporary peace. Everyone is happy to see such a short-lived peace. Wanqi Daoluo sent out
We went to Lanqi to explore the horse and inquire about the Wei army.
Where to go, in case they suddenly counterattack, but the news they got was that the Wei army had actually retreated. When Wanqi Daoluo got the news, he didn't believe it at first. After waiting for several days, he didn't see a single Wei army.
Suspicious incidents such as sentry and horse detection occurred
"Sir, it seems that the Wei army retreated because of lack of food and grass!" Xiao Baoyin's generals guessed the reason for the Wei army's retreat. Wanqi Daoluo couldn't find the reason for the Wei army's retreat. Anyway, he had to be busy with his own affairs after they retreated.
There is also one
Some people want to improve their status or keep their status by supporting the new king, but no matter what, the door of Taiwei Hou Jin's house cannot be knocked open in the past two days. Wanqi Daoluo is also very puzzled, otherwise he will lose.
A battle? Are you like this?
But he can't be forceful. After all, he has many soldiers, horses, and military power in his hands, and a group of desperadoes were also brought out by him. For this reason, Wanqi Daoluo can only endure his temper and wait, hoping that Hou Jin can come to him as soon as possible.
To adjust their mood, some people came out a day earlier to discuss important matters. Some people advised, "Sir, Hou Jin is just a defeated general. It's basically the same whether we have him or not. Although we have some military power, I am the leader of our alliance."
If he takes action, he will be insignificant."
Wanqi Daoluo still hopes to see Hou Jin stand behind him sincerely. He also heard that Taifu Xiao Baoyin's dream of being emperor has not ended. What he wants is to be able to unite as many people as possible. Xiao Baoyin is his
A strong competitor, this person who looks like a dead silkworm, but
There are many things in his heart that others don't know. Wanqi Daoluo's eyeliner caught signs of Xiao Baoyin's activities. Wanqi Daoluo can't fall out with him immediately. Some things need to be as good as a mirror. Once Wei Jun knows that they
If there is a split, there will undoubtedly be troops coming immediately
Everything seemed peaceful, except that the door of the Taiwei Mansion was still tightly closed. But what was different from the previous one was that there was no one else outside the door. Everyone knew they couldn't get in. Even when they knocked on the door, they were blocked out.
So they all gave up.
After being quiet for a few days, the door of the Taiwei Mansion suddenly rang again with bang bang bang bang bang bang knocking for a while. Several people standing outside, with strange figures, looked outside from time to time into the distance.
The street was very quiet. Everyone seemed to be asleep. The only one who barked a few times was a smart dog. The small family was afraid of causing trouble, so they came out to teach the dog a lesson, and there was no sound at all.
"The door is not open inside! Is there no one there?"
"No way, knock hard! Someone must be inside!"
Maybe the person inside was really helpless because of the knocking, so he could only agree: "Who is this? Are you afraid of breaking the door?" An old voice came from inside.
"How's it going? There's really someone!" The people outside were very happy. It seemed that it was expected rather than unexpected. But anyway, the door was opened.
The door opened very slowly, and a voice came out from the crack of the door: "I said, who are you looking for?" "Old man, please go and report that I have something urgent to do with your Taiwei!" It was the Taiwei's Mansion that opened the door.
The old manager, the manager said in his heart that if any of you came to the Taiwei for urgent matters, he didn't answer. He closed the door with a creak and didn't care about the people outside knocking on the door. He slowly walked in.
"Master, why did you come out!"
"Oh, who is knocking on the door? You are so persistent!"
"Master, you really don't know who the people outside are?" The old manager checked the people outside from top to bottom when he opened the door. He didn't know them. Because he didn't want to open the door, he didn't pay attention.
Thinking about this matter now that the master asked him, he couldn't help but not answer. If he was an acquaintance, he would definitely cover it up with just one word. Why can't he do it now? Because he is a stranger. "Sir, they are a few strangers!"
"Stranger?" Hou Jin couldn't understand why a stranger came to him at this time. "Don't you know him?" He asked a little unwillingly, "I don't know him!" the old manager repeated again.
"Sir, why don't I go and send them away? They'll make me so noisy that I can't sleep!" The old manager knew that Hou Jin must be impatient, and the knocking on the door never stopped. Hou Jin didn't make a sound, and the old manager walked over.
At the door, the door opened with a creak and he stepped out and asked: "Gentlemen, you guys are knocking on the door so endlessly in the middle of the night, making people unable to sleep!"
"You old man is so clueless. Of course we have something important to tell you. You are really keeping the door closed. Why?" The big black man opened his mouth and said something a little rough.
"You go! If you knock us again, don't be angry!" Hearing this, the dozen khans behind him took a step forward, which was meant to be threatening.
"Old man, this brother of mine is always ignorant of what he says. I hope you will understand the conflicting words. I have something here that you asked the Taiwei to lose. I came here to return it to Zhao intact! Do you think it is true or not?" He said and untied a piece from his horse.
The old manager of the bow bag took it over dubiously, looked it over and saw that it was indeed engraved with the word "hou". Knowing that it was something brought by their master, he said: "Guys, I'll be here soon!"
Holding the bow bag, he ran into the house and said, "Send it away?" Hou Jin listened for a long time and no one knocked on the door, so he asked the manager.
"Master, they are strangers, but they brought this." He opened the bow bag and put it into Hou Jin's hand. Hou Jin took a look and found out, somehow, this is my bow bag. Look at the bow bag again.
The cane on the wall was broken. He looked at the broken cane and remembered that during the breakout a few days ago, Dugu let them go as he wished.
So he rushed over with hesitation, and felt that an arrow flew past him. Fortunately, he flew close to him. At that time, he was in the other person's camp. As long as Dugu regretted his wish, he would be destroyed immediately, so he did not dare to neglect it.
I ran a lot in one go and when I got home, I found that my bow bag was gone.
Now that Gong Nang came back unexpectedly, he murmured: "Could it be him?"
"Invite people in quickly!" The old manager agreed quickly, ran to the door quickly, and let a few people in. When the door was closing, he glanced at the dark corner of the street again to confirm.
After that, he closed the door.
The old manager didn't know the origins of these people, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He took a few people to the living room to wait for them. They had been waiting here for a long time.
It was not beyond his expectation. He took a breath of cold air, called the manager and asked: "Is anyone paying attention to them on the street?" The manager replied without seeing it, but Hou Jin still felt it was inappropriate.
, immediately arranged for the old manager to find a few young and experienced young men.
I went to pay careful attention to the movement on the street. If there was very little trouble, I would come back immediately to report to the people. Several generals under me also recognized the person coming. They were also very anxious. They didn't fight in the battle at first.
I have surpassed others. Now that I have found my home, I am no match for them.
