After Gongsun Xifu had talked with Xu Zijing before, he was stopped when he left Ningweihou's mansion and took out Rong Suihe's token to explain the affair of King Gaomi's rebellion.
He was originally anxious, thinking that King Gaomi's move was beyond Rong Suihe's expectation, and he was afraid that this would cause Rong Suihe to originate from the western border of Tellurium, fail to respond in time, and fall into a passive situation.
Now that he knew that the person behind the scenes was the prince of his own county, he naturally felt calm. After talking to the person who came, he immediately returned to the Marquis Mansion and informed Xu Zijing, lest the Marquis become anxious... In fact, he turned back. In time, or later, Xu Zijing not only wanted to send away his son, daughter-in-law, but also the younger generations of the Sheng family.
After Bu Nao listened to Gongsun Xi's account, Xu Zijing thought twice about letting Xu Baomo and other juniors leave the Hou Mansion and go to the secret courtyard in the north of the city to settle down: "The King of Gaomi suddenly launched an attack. If it was not his fault, the success or failure is still unknown. . But with Mi Zhen’s tricks, there is a 80% chance that he will fail. However, under the current situation, Mi Zhen cannot seriously force him into a dead end. Then, outside the city of Chang’an, who came from the east, he has no choice but to continue to mess with Dong. Go. At that time, why not let the children go out and hide for a while! "
Gongsun Xi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, because if Rong Suihe had not expected that King Gaomi would rebel, Xu Zijing would have been worried at that time.
However, Rong Suihe contributed to that incident without telling Xu Zijing and others in advance, so he was deliberately trying to deceive Mrs. Sheng and others in the Xu family.
Xu Zijing saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "I don't want to overthink it! I don't know much about Mi Zhen's personality? Since the envoy he sent to Chang'an this time was able to block me outside his mansion, he obviously wronged us. The safety of the Xu family is at heart, so he must have legs to protect us. The reason why he insists on asking Bao Mo and the others to leave is not because he doesn't trust Mi Zhen's legs, but because he thinks that others are in Western Xinjiang and it is inconvenient to control them by remote control. He has sent away his son, daughter-in-law, and he has nothing to do. If anything happens, he can be free to give him a leg up!"
He added, "Since Mi Zhen has made arrangements, he thinks that I will just rest in the house and wait and see what happens! Lest it ruin his plan... Wrong, how does he plan to deal with the aftermath?"
"The two envoys said that the king's request this time had two purposes: one was to use the help of King Gaomi to eradicate the Meng family's influence in the court, and at the worst, it would seriously injure their vitality and delay the northern border. We need to borrow supplies from the Meng family and Bidong's side to see clearly King Gaomi's trump card." Gongsun Xi calmed down and said, "As for the aftermath, whether the county king wants it or not, we have to wait for both of them. After both sides suffer losses, there is nothing to fear!"
If you don't mean it, just ask the person in charge of Meng's family to die. King Gaomi's trump card is almost used. It doesn't matter if Chang'an is riddled with holes by then, and it doesn't matter if it's sleeping crane
Xu Zijing thought for a while and asked people to take Gongsun Xi to the guest house to settle down. Then he went back to the back hall to see Nan.
On Nan's side, Kankan came back from Mo Caixuan after helping his son and wife pack their luggage, and was walking with a frown on his face.
Is she the person who accompanied Xu Zijing through the Northern Xinjiang? Although she looked a little troubled at that time, she didn't have much fear. When she saw her husband come in, she said to him: "Bao Mo, that bastard is really not up to par." , just now even Caikui and Caifu were sensible enough to pack their things, but he was shouting and begging Liudong for help! My daughter-in-law was so considerate, she handed him a whisk in time and gave him a good slap. , I’m finally honest!”
"That kid has seen too little action, so he's dragging his feet! It's no wonder I'm tired!" Xu Zijing went forward to hold her wrist and rub it, and while rubbing it, he agreed, "It's good that my daughter-in-law has grown up in the sea. , I have been used to seeing things since I was a child, and if big things happen in the future, whether he succeeds or not, my daughter-in-law will always make the decision."
Nan sighed with emotion: "The greatest blessing in his life was probably to meet such a self-denying wife! So at that time, he felt a little unhappy about Wan Mi Zhen. He didn't even say hello to such a big thing. We're here to fight! He's not worried about his own life, but he's afraid that we have a bad habit, and he will continue to treat Ying Jiang badly! At that time, Ying Jiang's temperament of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens will no longer matter. Don’t you want to be forced to death by him?!”
Xu Zijing squeezed the back of her leg comfortingly and said, "It's okay, even if we are gone, aren't Qiaoer and his wife from Xijiang still here?"
"Don't worry about Qiao'er!" Nan said angrily, "The child is supposed to be raised in the lap of his legs. Not to mention his pampered temper, he should be somewhat arrogant, right? So it turns out that ? Every time Ying Jiang had a conflict with Bao Mo, she almost always sided with Bao Mo! Do you really want to make him angry just thinking about it!"
"What a very nice couple Xinzhang is! Are they Ying Jiang's aunt's grandfather and aunt's grandmother?" Xu Zijing continued to comfort him, "Brother Xinzhang is the most protective, isn't he?"
Nan sighed: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Brother Xinzhang will miss us and spoil that little brat in every possible way and be reluctant to teach him a lesson. After all, Ying Jiang was wronged after all... Forget it, we are very alive now, so we don't have to curse ourselves. Let's get down to business! What's the ins and outs? Although he just sent Chensha to listen behind her, she was afraid of disturbing us, so she didn't dare to stand close, and she didn't listen to Minghong much."
Xu Zijing said: "What's the matter? We have all seen Mi Zhen's temperament. He just said a word to Cai Kui back then, and we tried all our methods, but he still took Sister Qiaoer away! This shows his temperament How big! In the past few months, King Gaomi suppressed him. Anyone who knows the origin and reason of those rumors will be apologetic for Mi Zhen! Not to mention himself? That child was born in a poor family and ended up in a bandit's den. He has been fighting a bloody path for more than ten years, and he has personally stood up to the storms and waves. When did he ask them to make the decision for him? "
"So even if a few old men went to the Gaomi Prince's Mansion to cause a scene for him, how could he be satisfied?"
"That time, you had one purpose and two purposes. Please tell him whether he was seeking revenge!"
Nan's Cuo Gaomi King has always had a bad feeling. When he heard this, he said: "It's Mi Zhen's biological father! He's more ruthless than other stepfathers! Mi Zhen is usually softer, so I'm afraid he won't eat him." There are no bones left? At that time, what to do with Qiao Er and the child in her belly?! He thinks Mi Zhen did the right thing that time!"
At this point, he frowned and said, "Bu Nao, the child didn't reveal a word to us about such a big thing in advance. It was only after he launched the plan that he sent someone to the door to tell us. It was much worse than Ah Xi who didn't know what was going on. A step too late... So what's going on? Although Mi Zhen has a strong temperament, the matter of whether he can pick sunflowers has been exposed for so long, right? It's unlikely that he would be negligent in that kind of place? "
Xu Zijing frowned and thought for a while, stopped rubbing his wife's legs and wrists, looked outside warily, winked at Chensha who was standing with her legs hanging down, and begged her to go out and guard the door, and then whispered: "If he has an idea about that, then... Imperial Master!"
"Huan Guanlan?!" Nan whispered in surprise, but thinking of her husband's attitude at the moment, she quickly covered her mouth and asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly involved in him?!"
Then he whispered, "Besides, isn't he already dead?! Didn't Mi Zhen personally and secretly send him to Bishui County to be handed over to the Huan family?"
Xu Zijing whispered: "For a person like that, after his own death, he should not leave behind a group of loyal subordinates to act according to his instructions during his lifetime? As I said, Mi Zhen is a meticulous person, and he gets along well with us." . He asked to initiate such a big thing, but he didn’t even give any warning in advance. He only sent someone to report it after the thing had happened... That’s really abnormal!”
"Please, he offended Qiao Er because of picking sunflowers, or some other grievances that we didn't notice, and deliberately tricked us; please, no, his hind legs are very sure, and he will not disturb us; the last one is Ke Ke , but it’s not because he didn’t want to remind us in advance, but because... "
His face turned gloomy, "Because there is an informant in our house, and he can't remind us without alerting the informant!"
Nanshi was taken aback and said: "The incident about Caikui has long passed. He doesn't believe that Mi Zhenhuo is such a stingy person! As for other grudges that we didn't notice... they are really invisible! Although everyone said The child must retaliate, but in his opinion, the child actually has a clear sense of grudges! We have wronged the Sheng family, him and Qiaoer, and I dare not say how heartfelt we are about it, at least it is not malicious, and he does not deny that Such a stupid person will hate his family friends if he is provoked by some mess, how could he deliberately trick us?"
"As for saying that he is confident about his hind legs, so he won't tell us, that doesn't make sense... Even if he can ensure that we are safe and sound, look at the fire outside and the fire in the forest garden. Look!"
"Why aren't we worried!"
"Especially since this is a serious matter, let's inform our elders in advance. At least we know what we have in mind, and can we be prepared to fill in the gaps for him?!"
"Besides, that's not human nature or the etiquette we should have!"
"That child is always polite and courteous. Is he not lacking in all manners?"
She pondered for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "I said there is an informant in our house... so what's going on?!"
"Did he guess it?" Xu Zijing hesitated and said, "Our family is not well-off. Even if I was good at running the household, what I had at that time was very ordinary. After I came to Chang'an, I would have continued to do it." He came from the east. Not long after the opening of the mansion, my parents wrote to me, saying that Mr. Sheng reminded me that the people of Didong must be screened carefully to avoid such a big mansion becoming a sieve. Do I remember?"
Seeing his wife nodding, he said, "If we were safe at that time, why don't we ask Brother Xinzhang to help us purchase a group of Easterners from the south to serve as close servants? As for rough envoys and the like, since the imperial court rewards many different families, Especially the gifts from the Meng family and the King of Gaomi at that time were really difficult to evade, so I kept some of them. Although in the following years, Dongzhuangzi was sent to Dongzhuangzi one after another, but there were only a few of us. How can you tell? Maybe some of the Easterners who came from the East and were bought from the South were bribed by them?"
"Did I say that Mi Zhen was afraid that if she came to inform in advance, Meng, the king of Gaomi, would notice?" Nan nodded and said, "That's it! Then he won't be angry with him."
Xu Zijing shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. He suspects that Emperor Master... Huan Guanlan might have someone else's legs in our house!"
Nan said in shock: "When Huan Guanlan died, Mi Zhen didn't even enter the Sheng family. How could his legs be so long?!"
"That has nothing to do with the Sheng family." Xu Zijing reminded her, "Have I forgotten the ending of General Zhou? After General Zhou left, Northern Xinjiang was leaderless for a while, and his deputy took care of it for several years until he accumulated military merit and was promoted. Let’s go! Based on that, I said that while the Imperial Master was hiding on Tortoiseshell Island, if he still had Tiandong in mind, would he not have noticed him?!”
The voice lowered, "Since the Imperial Master has prepared the Jishan Bandits in Western Xinjiang, and Mi Zhen had nothing to do with our family at that time, I said the Imperial Master is not going to press a few nails into our family?!"
Nan said in confusion: "Can the Emperor's master keep the nails from the east, and should he be on Mi Zhen's side? Mi Zhen did not dare to spread the news in advance, fearing that the King of Gaomi would know about Meng's side. … Why do you want people who are afraid of the Emperor’s Master to know?!”
Xu Zijing thought for a while and said: "He doesn't know much about that. After all, Mi Zhen never told us about his relationship with the emperor... Does he think that that time, both the King of Gaomi and the Meng family thought they were not pornographic? Que, I’m afraid I haven’t come back to my senses after being plotted until now. Mi Zhen can bring the situation to that point, if he is afraid of the informants of those two families, there is no reason for him to not even let us know the slightest news!"
"The so-called wise disciple is better than a master. He thinks that the only one who can help us in such a big event is the emperor's master!"
After the couple had discussed this, Dong Lai felt heavy-hearted and confused. Xiang Cuo was silent for a while, then Nan asked: "The children have left just now, what do we want to do?"
"He left Ah Xi in the guest house to renovate." Xu Zijing told her, "As for now... It's so noisy outside in the early morning, so it's better to be quiet than to move. It's better to stay in the house first, where no one will disturb you." , if someone comes, let’s take advantage of them!”
After a pause, "After daybreak, I'll ask about Dong's situation."
… At that time, Gongsun Xi came in, and Xu Zijing showed him the information with a solemn expression: "King Gaomi fell short in Hehuan Palace. If Ruming retreats to Chang'an City, he is afraid that all the families in the city, except for the group that supports him, will Everyone begs for disaster!"
Gongsun Xi did not answer that question, but said something that made matters worse: "Urgent news from Wuyi Camp: Ruru Khan Dengchenliyu was seriously injured in an assassination, and we doubt that Coco's time is running out!!!"
Xu Zijing stood up in horror: "Seriously?!"
