Liang Gunsi was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
Ji Dadong looked at the carnage in the distance with a solemn expression, and said softly: "Do you think there will be any room for change between the Eighth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master after today?" Seeing the other party shaking his head, he continued. : "In this case, the Eighth Young Master should completely defeat the Sixth Young Master this time. Although he cannot really kill him, he must make him the biggest sinner in Shunjun City so that even the clan leader can no longer protect him."
"So... you would let the horse thieves light a fire and burn these goods that are related to the survival of the people in the city?" Liang Gunsi finally came to his senses at this time, and sighed with lingering fear: "What a vicious method!"
"Yes, although this fire was caused by him, if we really want to settle the score, it can only fall on the head of the Sixth Young Master. This is what the merchants here have recognized. As long as they return to Shunjun City , report the matter, and the Sixth Young Master's crime will be fully confirmed. Colluding with horse thieves, plundering goods, killing and wounding his colleagues, and finally causing a large amount of goods to be burned... Any one of these crimes is enough for the patriarch to exterminate his family. And all of this, actually It was caused by Sun Qianli under a passive situation. This person is far more terrifying than anyone around the Sixth Young Master. If he really wants to assist the Eighth Young Master, he will become our Young Master's biggest opponent..." Gao Dadong said with a solemn expression. After expressing his speculation, he finally sighed softly, as if it was a pity that such talents could not be used by his family.
The two people in the distance have already seen the truth of the matter, but Xi Fengchang here still looks confused and panicked. The loss this time is too great. These are the supplies that the people in Shunjun City rely on to survive the winter. , was actually burned clean in such a fire, how could he explain it to other people and his father after he returned
At this time, Sun Tu had already shouted loudly: "Capture alive. What happened today was all caused by these horse thieves colluding with the feudal clan. We must report everything to the clan leader truthfully and let him make the decision!"
As soon as these words reached Xi Fengchang's ears, he was immediately shaken. Even though he was not stupid, he quickly realized. Isn't this the conclusive evidence and handle that he had always hoped to completely overthrow Xi Fengchang? Compared to this, these burned goods are not worth mentioning at all!
This made his spirit suddenly lifted, and then he loudly ordered: "Capture the dead alive, I will take them back to the city to plead guilty to the people of the city!"
After two orders, the one-sided killings in front of me finally subsided a lot. Except for a few horse thieves who were still resisting and were quickly killed, the remaining more than a hundred people were knocked down and necked with swords and guns. They could only surrender obediently. tie.
After this chaotic battle, the caravans who had been captured by the horse thieves suffered heavy casualties. Only less than fifty of the two hundred people were left alive. Huangfu Duan's face turned pale when he saw this scene. He had been unable to fight for a long time. When I open my mouth to speak, I feel terrified just thinking about it. If Sun Tu hadn't rushed to the rescue just now, I'm afraid he would have become one of those corpses.
Sun Tu watched all this with cold eyes. Although one of his decisions led to the unnecessary deaths of more than a hundred people, he felt no guilt in his heart. Because in his eyes, everyone in the Xia Kingdom was an enemy, and there was no difference between killing them directly or indirectly.
At this point, the chaos finally subsided. It was only then that Liang Gunsi and Gao Dadong arrived with their troops and looked at the corpses and ashes on the ground, as well as those
After being captured, they had long since lost sight of the arrogant horse thief. The two of them felt wary again, and then stepped forward to pay homage to Xi Fengchang: "Sixth Young Master, I was ordered to come to meet you, but I didn't want to but was delayed due to something. I came late. Please come." The young master is punished! However, I would also like to congratulate the young master for getting rid of the enemy today. I believe that the future will be limitless."
Xi Fengchang's eyes fell dimly on the two of them. In fact, he had already noticed the military horses on the high ground over there before, and he was worried that they would pose a threat to him. It was not until he quickly defeated and annexed the feudal army, and found that the other party was still silent, that he vaguely guessed that there must be other brothers behind this army that was watching from the sidelines.
This made Xi Fengchang quite annoyed, but after listening to the other party's superficial congratulations and hidden words, he took back the words and said calmly: "I was forced to take the risk." This risk is not a credit. As for you, being a little late is not a sin. As long as my father doesn't hold him accountable, I won't blame you." After saying that, he didn't bother to be polite to these two guys and waved his hand. Then he led his army back.
Seeing him leading his troops and leaving without hesitation, Liang Gun and Si's expressions became uncertain again. After a while, they sighed and followed with their troops. This time they really succeeded in stealing the chicken but not losing the rice. Not only did they fail to see that both Xi Fengjian and Xi Fengchang were harmed, but they watched Xifengchang's power increase greatly and at the same time they exposed themselves. The following days would be terrible. It's not going to be easy.
￥￥￥￥￥
Four days later, they arrived at Shunjun City.
Xi Fengjian has been feeling uneasy for the past two days. After learning that Xi Fengchang actually had other plans, he vaguely guessed that things were going to be bad. But now that everything has been done, and the people have been sent out early, it is impossible to stop, so the only thing he can do is to wait in the city, and at the same time pray that Xi Feng Lieqiang and the others can live up to their expectations. , at least don’t lose too badly.
In order to get the news as soon as possible, Xifeng Jian sent people to guard the main road into the city from the south. So when Xi Fengchang led his army into Shunjun City, the Sixth Young Master who was waiting restlessly in the mansion had already received the report, which made him almost collapse in his seat like a deflated rubber ball: "It's over. , it’s all over this time!” The game he had painstakingly designed was actually broken perfectly by Xi Fengchang, which was a huge blow to him.
Xifeng Man also turned pale, but at this time he still managed to keep his spirits up and said solemnly: "Eighth Young Master, now is not the time to despair. We can still do something, at least to save yourself."
"Protect... What should I do to protect myself? Everything is over..." Xifeng Jian said listlessly. He has always had smooth sailing. Once he failed, he had already lost all his energy and could not even think of a comeback.
"Young Master, as long as this matter doesn't implicate you, you will still have a chance to make a comeback in the future. Even if you are temporarily suppressed by the Sixth Young Master, it is nothing." Xifengman continued to persuade him earnestly. These words were immediately recognized by He Sichang, who was also gray-faced at the side: "Yes, sir, we Han people have a saying that if you leave a green mountain, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as you are not convicted, as long as the patriarch still recognizes you as his son." , we still have a chance to make a comeback!"
Xi Fengman immediately came to Xi Fengjian, stared at him and said, "Sir, the only thing we can do now is to protect you. As long as all the crimes are committed,
The fault is all blamed on Xi Feng Lieqiang and the others. They led the army out of the city to attack the Eighth Young Master for their own personal vendetta. As long as people believe this is the case, you are just ignorant of people. This is not a big mistake. . "
After a pause, he directly stretched out his hand to pull Xifeng Lieqiang, who was slumped there: "So, Master, the first priority is to rush to the city gate immediately, explain all this to everyone, and let Xifeng Lieqiang and Liang Eda take the initiative to take care of this matter." Take the blame."
This persuasion finally worked, and Xi Fengjian was smoothly pulled up from his seat. He also cheered up and said, "Yes, I can't just admit defeat. Even if I abandon Xi Feng Lieqiang and the other two, I still want to do it." Protect yourself. Let’s go and meet them!”
Without further delay, the three of them hurried out immediately. While they were getting on their horses and galloping all the way outside the door, Xi Fengman quickly made up a set of words to teach Xi Fengjian, so that when he saw Xi Fengchang and others, Just say it.
Their speed was indeed fast enough. In addition, Xi Fengchang's team was escorting a group of captured horse thieves. They had contact with the people when they entered the city, and they even wanted to praise their achievements. However, Xi Fengchang actually allowed Xi Fengjian to enter the south gate of Shunjun City before they could do so. When they had not gone too far, they hurriedly met him.
Xi Fengchang, who was telling the people around him about the evil deeds of horse thieves with a face full of pain and indignation, soon saw his brother who was in the same situation as him coming in a bit embarrassed, and immediately looked at him with a cold expression. At the same time, Xi Fengjian was also looking over, but at the moment when the two brothers' eyes collided, Xi Fengjian, who had always been strong in the past, lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at his brother again.
After only hesitating for a moment, he got off his horse and walked forward on foot. Xi Fengman and others who came with him also dismounted one after another, and more than ten people strode forward behind him. This made the guards around Xi Fengchang suddenly become wary, and they all shouted with a roar. Drawing knives and raising guns, they all looked like they were facing a powerful enemy.
Sun Tu, on the other hand, curled up the corner of his mouth after seeing the sudden appearance of these people, but did not have much reaction. He could see that these people could no longer pose a threat to Xi Fengchang at this time, because as losers, they no longer had the courage and ability to take action again.
Sure enough, after walking not far in front of Xi Fengchang, Xi Fengjian stood still, then bowed and saluted: "Eighth brother, I'm sorry for you... I didn't expect that two of my subordinates, Xi Feng Lieqiang and Liang Eda, actually It would be bad for you to hide it from me. Fortunately, eighth brother, you are protected by gods and Buddhas, and you have finally returned safely. If not, if you ask me, as an elder brother, to behave like a human being, I will never be able to forgive myself until I die!"
Sun Tu looked at the fine look on Qiqing's face, and couldn't help but praise that this person is really good at acting. In future generations, he could become a movie king. If I hadn't already known all his plots, I might have believed his lies.
If this were the Central Plains Dynasty, and things had reached this stage for some purpose, no matter how much Xi Fengchang hated his brother, he would have immediately stepped forward to greet him. Then, after expressing his belief that his brother would not harm him, the two brothers hugged each other. I cried a lot with my head and composed a good show of respect between brothers, friends and brothers. But it is a pity that this is not the Central Plains, but Xixia, a party where fathers, sons, and brothers are commonplace. How can Xi Fengchang get what he wants
At the same time, not far away, another army was coming from the west along the long street, but it was Hoso Feng Yechang who was back!
