Chapter 191: The Disagreement of the 'Northern Plains Firm'
Time passed in a moment, and the soldiers at the gate of the city gathered more and more, surrounding the ranks of the 'Kitahara Merchant House'. At this time, it was no longer a matter of whether or not to hand over Wei Dong, but it had been promoted to the reputation of the entire 'Beiyuan Commercial Bank'.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers who surrounded them were also very aware of the power of the 'Beiyuan Trading House' in Beidi, and there were very tough people who stepped forward to arrest people, but they were in a stalemate, waiting for the arrival of the city lord.
Wei Wou-Ki was in the hall at this time, discussing important matters with some of his cronies—many matters concerning how to defect to Xiqiang. Suddenly, an announcement came from outside the door, which startled all the generals present.
"Hmm, the person who was wanted by the whole city came back with a swagger?" Wei Wuji's first thought was Wei Dong, but he didn't think he could, didn't he go to 'Sand Wave City'? It was impossible for him to come back. "Let's go out and have a look. ”
Due to the urgency of the incident, Wei Wuji hastily suspended the discussion and led the group of officers who had sat down to hurry to the west gate.
"Get out of the way, Lord Castle has arrived. Quickly dodge the ......" With a shout, the besieging soldiers quickly flashed out a passage for Wei Wouji and the other officers to pass through.
"General, it's him!" a captain bowed to Wei Wouji, then pointed at Wei Dong with one hand.
Wei Wuji had already seen Wei Dong who was riding on a horse and looking innocent. "You kid, you dare to come back, dismount. Wei Wuji roared angrily.
"Uh, this ......" Wei Dong had no choice but to jump off his horse.
Wei Wuji rushed forward, grabbed Wei Dong's ear with one hand, turned around and dragged back. "Let the carriage come in quickly, and let it all disperse, what kind of system!"
The giant wolf saw that his master was in trouble, and he ran forward to help, but was frightened by Wei Wuji's glare, and saw Wei Dong waving his hand again and again, so he had to obediently follow behind them and move forward together.
The two lieutenants beside Wei Wouji secretly laughed when they saw this situation. A lieutenant quickly came to the carriage and bent down, "The nobles of the 'Beiyuan Trading Company', I'm really sorry, please come with me." Another lieutenant general stepped forward and gave orders to the officers and soldiers at the city gate, "All in place." ”
The turmoil finally stopped after the appearance of Wei Wouji. Wei Dong was pulled by Wei Wuji's ears and walked far away, smart people know the trick in this, but because of Wei Wuji's ferocity, he didn't dare to speak.
"Momiji, what this person said seems to be true. You see General Wei's attitude towards him. The woman in the carriage lifted the curtain and whispered to the man in red next to the carriage.
"Auntie, whether it's true or not, I don't know, I just know, I'm very relieved now. Haha, looking at his usual life, he is so coaxing, I can't imagine that there is today!" Momiji smiled and turned his head to the woman in the car and said.
"You kid! others are suffering, but you are gloating!" the woman glanced at the red leaves.
As he spoke, Wei Wuji had already lowered Wei Dong's ears, and the two of them were surrounded by a group of officers at this time, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion together. The people who were watching outside saw that there were so many officers, and there was a giant wolf behind them, and they didn't dare to step forward to take a closer look, so they could only watch from a distance.
"You kid, why are you back, and you're still bringing a giant wolf with you?" asked Wei Wou-Ki curiously.
"Alas, it's hard to put it into words! Uncle, let's go back and talk in detail. It's not clear here. Wei Dong looked around, lowered his voice and said to Wei Wuji.
"Well, why are they here too?" Wei Wouji smiled as he nodded.
"Hmph, there must be a hidden secret, this pair of dog men and women!" Wei Dong speculated in his heart, but thought that his uncle was already very old, and he should start a family, "This woman looks good, if she can become an aunt, it should be perfect." ’
Where would Wei Wuji have thought that Wei Dong's kid was full of filthiness, and he only cared about leading the way in front, and soon came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The gate opened early, and the officers and carriages entered without any problems. "Shut the door!" with a long shout, "squeak", and the door was closed again by the housekeeper. The giant wolf was also put into the courtyard under the care of Wei Wuji, and it was very well-behaved lying at the door, not disturbing. Several of the servants stayed behind to watch over the giant wolf and brought it a large pot of cooked beef.
The rest of the guards were arranged into a large room to rest and chat, and soon a group of domestic servants brought tea and snacks for them to eat. The officers entered the chamber and waited. Wei Dong, along with the woman and Red Leaves, were led into a small private study by Wei Wouji.
"Old Wei, is he really your nephew?" The first sentence when he entered the door was Hongye's question.
"What do you say?" Wei Wuji glanced at the red leaves, his expression a little displeased.
The woman beside her listened to Hongye's questioning, and then felt quite unreasonable, and explained: "General Wei, we heard him say that he was your nephew along the way, and we are also very trusting. But we didn't expect that there would be a wanted notice for him posted here, which made us ......."
"Haha, Wei Dong, come and explain it yourself!Why is there a wanted notice for you in the city?" Wei Wou-Ki laughed when he heard this.
Wei Dong had no choice but to tell the story of the last time he bought the 'Beiyuan Commercial Bank' and was sold by them, which caused a burst of laughter.
"He is indeed my nephew, born to my sister-in-law. It was only then that Wei Wou-Ki made a clear and concise explanation.
"Isn't your sister already dead?" the woman looked at Wei Dong with pity.
"Well, yes, when he was seven years old. Wei Wuji let out a long sigh.
Now that Wei Dong's identity is already clear, and the four people in the room are all familiar with each other, they have no scruples when they talk. First of all, Wei Wou-Ki asked, he was very puzzled about how Wei Dong's relationship with the 'Beiyuan Commercial Bank' had become so good again, and what unexpected events had happened in the middle?
Wei Dong and Hongye each talked about some of their experiences and how they met and how they came to 'Lonely Cloud City' together after discussion.
"Oh!" Wei Wuji understood after listening. "Wei Dong, the giant wolf you subdued seems to have been accumulating strength and wants to rescue the giant wolf in the city!"
"Uncle, I think the same way. It must have been the howl of wolves inside the city that caught the attention of the lone wolf outside the city. Wei Dong got up and nodded yes.
"Well, yes. Then I'll release the giant wolves in the city and reunite the two of them, which can be regarded as a companion. I had already sent two horses, but I killed one by mistake, and I think that one horse has always held a grudge against me!" Wei Wuji sighed very emotionally, "But you also have to be careful, after all, wolves are fierce and wild, and it is not easy to subdue them for a long time. ”
"I know, uncle, please put ten thousand hearts. Wei Dong was also very happy when he heard that he could also accept a giant wolf.
The two aunts and nephews next to them changed their faces after hearing this, "Kill the giant wolf! If you spread the word, you will be suppressed by the royal family!"
"It's okay, I've decided to take refuge in Xiqiang anyway. He was a lobbyist sent by Xiqiang. Wei Wou-Ki admitted to his face that he was going to switch to the Qiang Kingdom.
"You ......" Momiji suddenly became anxious when he heard this, and just wanted to reprimand a few words, but was stopped by his aunt.
"That's why we're here. I didn't expect you to have already made a decision. The woman sighed lightly, and then asked with some confusion, "How can Wei Dong be here at a young age on behalf of Xiqiang?"
"Hmph, there happens to be such an uncle, he must be trying to gain fame and fortune!" Momiji shook his head disdainfully and sneered.
"Momiji, you're rude!" his aunt reprimanded him to his face.
"It's okay, this eldest sister, there are no taboos for children, and I appreciate his straightforwardness. Wei Dong smiled at the woman.
"You ......" Momiji turned red. This kid is clearly taking advantage of himself. ’
"Hehe, don't say it. It's all a family, I said my plan, and you also talk about it, your plan. Wei Wou-Ki saw Wei Dong taking advantage of him, and he laughed happily.
The sentence 'It's all a family' made Momiji stop the words of counterattack, and it also made the woman's face red, of course, everyone couldn't see it through the tulle.
'It's greasy, it's greasy, there's a play!' Wei Dong blinked his eyes beside him, observing curiously.
"As you know, our family is a side line of the Xiao family, and it is Prime Minister Zuo's money. My eldest brother is the righteous son of Xiao Xian, so he has always been loyal to Di Guo. The woman spoke bluntly to Wei Wuji.
"My father and aunt both want to be independent from the Xiao clan, but Prime Minister Zuo has a huge power, and we can't do anything. Momiji interjected beside him.
"How many elders do you have the support of the Patriarchs now?" Wei Wuji thought about it and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Of the nine elders, six of them support us, but the eldest brother is very stubborn!"
"Xiao Ling, you are going to cause big trouble if you keep making decisions like this, if Prime Minister Zuo knows about it, you are in danger!"
"This ......" The woman who was called Xiao Ling frowned.
"I think so too, not to mention being known by Prime Minister Zuo, even if it is known by the uncle, we will not be able to eat and walk around. Xiao Hongye spoke directly about the current crisis.
"Now, I have made up my mind to take refuge in Xiqiang. My nephew is Xiqiang's 'Wushuang Zhonglang General', and he can build a line between you and His Majesty the Emperor of Xiqiang. "Wei Wuji deliberately raised Wei Dong's identity.
"He is Xiqiang's Zhonglang General?" Not only Xiao Hongye was taken aback, but even Xiao Ling opened a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Well, our saint's greatest wish now is to recover 'Shalang City' and kill Hu Yanlie. Wei Dong lost no time in talking to the pair of aunts and nephews.
"Let me think again. Xiao Ling was very embarrassed and closed his eyes in contemplation.
"Auntie!"
"Okay, let your aunt think about it again. Let's get out first. Wei Wuji pulled Xiao Hongye and Wei Dong out of the study, leaving Xiao Ling alone and thinking.
