"Are you sure that guy Wei Lai will throw himself into the net?" Sitting in the City Lord's Mansion in Six Tiger City, Yuan Baiyu looked at the people in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone in this mansion was respectful, and in the face of Yuan Baiyu's inquiry, Bai Tongpao hurriedly replied: "The general doesn't know, that King Wei has already been fascinated by Miss Ji. Miss Ji had already made a plan, and she was waiting outside the city early. With Miss Ji's intelligence, it is not difficult to lure Wei Lai into the city, and the general does not need to be anxious, just wait here. ”

Referring to Ji Huanxi's name, Yuan Baiyu felt a little relieved, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Ji is Niangniang's henchman, she has followed Niangniang for many years, and she has always done things without leakage, I am naturally relieved, but the thief is treacherous and tactful, why do you have to act like this, it is better to let me enter the city earlier, and I can ambush the city with a large army and ambush it directly." ”

Hearing this, several of the leaders of the Shi clan from various departments in Ningzhou present all changed slightly, and one of the old men stepped forward and said: "The general doesn't know, although we surrender sincerely, but the military department, especially the several major families where the Sanxiao Army is located, can be described as dead set on that Wei Lai. If the general ambushes him outside the city, the Sanxiao army will inevitably rebel. At that time, there were many wars in Ningzhou, and it was not a result that the imperial court was willing to see. ”

"Therefore, the best way for our Miss Ji to discuss is to capture the thief alive here, so as to intimidate the Sanxiao Army to hand over its military power, so that the imperial court can get a stable Ningzhou. ”

"Doing this well, General Yu is a great merit, from now on it is not a problem to be a wolf, and it is also a good opportunity for us sinners to make up for their mistakes, and I hope that the general will not forget our help today, and say a few good words for us sinners in the court. ”

The old man spoke earnestly, so that Yuan Baiyu, who was still suspicious before, dispelled his worries again, and he smiled: "What is this old man, I have already heard this Bai brother say about your difficulties, how can this be blamed on you, you can rest assured, when this matter is over, I will truthfully report everything today to the court, not only are you no fault, but the court will reward you well!"

When everyone present heard this, they immediately showed surprise on their faces, and hurriedly bowed to Yuan Baiyu at that time: "Thank you, General!"

Yuan Baiyu was in a good mood, waving his hand again and again, and receiving everyone's thousands of thanks.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

And at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the faces of everyone present changed, who could be the person who could knock on the door of the city lord's mansion at this time? Everyone had their own plans in their hearts.

Yuan Baiyu's body was even more shocked, and he looked at Bai Tongpao on the side as if asking, and Bai Baipao hurriedly signaled to this Yuan general to be calm and calm.

Then he walked to that place and opened the door, and the two figures standing outside the door shocked everyone present, and the one who came was Ji Huanxi and Wei Lai, who everyone was talking about before.

Yuan Baiyu saw the portrait of Wei Lai when he was in Tailin City, and naturally recognized the other party at a glance, almost subconsciously, Yuan Baiyu grabbed the saber on his waist and was about to pull it out.

"General Yuan, don't be impatient. And at this moment, Ji Huan, who was beside Wei Lai, suddenly stepped out, and she said,

The expression is calm.

Compared with Wei Lai, who has only seen in portraits, he is obviously more familiar with Ji Huanxi and Yuan Baiyu. Hearing the other party's words, he was stunned at first, but quickly suppressed the impulse in his heart and put back the long knife in his hand.

"Yuan Baiyu, Admiral Yan Ting, His Royal Highness King Wei should have heard of it. At this time, Ji Huanxi turned to look at Wei Lai and said, with a good posture of introducing everyone present to Wei Lai. "As for the rest, they are all acquaintances in Ningzhou, so I don't need to be happy to introduce them to His Royal Highness King Wei one by one. ”

Wei Lai's gaze only stayed on Yuan Baiyu's body for a moment, and then he turned his head to look at the people in this room, most of these people Wei Lai knew, maybe some of them couldn't be named, but they knew their identities to some of the leaders of the major scholar clans in Ningzhou.

This is the case with the various ministries of Ningzhou, or the entire Yan Court due to some historical reasons, except for the officials appointed by the imperial court, more than half of the authority in various places falls into the hands of these wealthy gentlemen. There are even times when an official wants to mobilize the local people, and he needs to rely heavily on the connections of these nobles and gentry.

Therefore, over time, this wealthy gentleman clan has become intertwined and has become a huge force that can interact with the imperial court. And even if it was Jiang Huanshui back then, he did not do it to eradicate the influence of these scholars in Ningzhou, at that time, Ningzhou faced foreign incursions, and all the scholars also showed enough righteousness, under the struggle of Jiang Huanshui, almost all the scholars were full of help, and then Ningzhou was stable, and Jiang Huanshui's prestige also reached the extreme, under the will of the people, no matter what these scholars thought in their hearts, on the surface, they were extremely obedient to Jiang Huanshui, and Jiang Huanshui naturally had no reason to do anything to them.

And today Jiang Huanshui has passed away, Wei Lai first ascended the throne of Wei Wang, all the scholars are quite satisfied with Wei Lai's performance in the disaster of the corpses in Ningxiao City, and all parties have also shown great respect and obedience, so this scholar problem has never entered the scope of Wei Lai's consideration - first, he has too many troubles, these trivial matters are difficult to see, and second, he is still young after all, although he has experienced many changes, but this power and conspiracy often requires experience rather than other things.

But at this moment, the appearance of the leaders of these scholar clans here largely shows that they have to choose, and the only thing that makes Wei Lai a little relieved is that these guys in front of him are at least not the leaders of the major scholar clans, but some clan elders or princes, obviously this is a disagreement among the clan, after all, the forest is big, and it is not strange that there are some birds with different thoughts.

Wei Lai's eyes fell on them, and those people subconsciously lowered their heads at that time. After all, this is a matter of betraying the Lord, and no matter how openly and honestly it is, it will inevitably make people feel scruples and a little ashamed when it comes to the end.

And what surprised Wei Lai the most was that the young master of the Bai family, Bai Tongpao, was suddenly among them, unlike others, in the face of Wei Lai's gaze, this Bai comrade was extremely indifferent, but from this point of view, no matter what his position was, the heart of this young master of the Bai family was far from being comparable to ordinary people.

"You're there too. This kind of exclamation lasted for less than a few breaths in Wei Lai's heart, and he quickly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile.

The leaders of those scholars lowered their heads a little deeper when they heard this, and such a scene fell in the eyes of Yuan Baiyu, he was naturally quite dissatisfied, and said with a cold snort: "They are all junjie who know the current affairs, but you, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, now there is a way of life in front of you, it depends on whether you want to be this junjie or not." ”

"Living?" Wei Lai smiled, noncommittal to what the other party said, just opened his hand and took a shot to the side, and a Taishi chair fell into his hand. He slowly sat down on the Taishi chair, and then looked at Yuan Baiyu and said: "You are the general of Yan Ting, I am the King of Wei who was canonized by His Majesty personally, do you have to kneel down and greet me before you are qualified to talk to me when you see me?"

Yuan Baiyu was stunned when he heard this, of course he had thought about many scenes after meeting Wei Lai.

This young prince may be angry, or he may be cowardly begging for mercy, but he never thought that he would dare to play with him at this juncture, and he didn't know whether the other party was too stupid and really bold.

He sneered at the moment and said: "Lord, don't you know how you came to be the prince? Now that you have betrayed your relatives, if you want to live, immediately hand over the military power and let the Sanxiao army return to the imperial court, otherwise I will take your sacrificial flag today and pacify those rebellious ministers and thieves under you!"

When Wei Lai heard this, he suddenly realized, he turned his head to look at Ji Huanxi beside him, and said, "It turns out that the girl brought me here with all her heart to want the Sanxiao Army to bow down. ”

Ji Huanxi just lowered his head when he heard this, as if he was ashamed to respond, and he was noncommittal to Wei Lai's words.

"It's useless, even if I die here, the Sanxiao Army will still fight, they are the backbone of Ningzhou, the soul of Ningzhou, they can't disperse. Wei Lai continued.

At this time, those leaders who had been a little ashamed in front of Wei Lai also came back to their senses, knowing that this was a good time to show their loyalty, among them, the old man who had spoken to Yuan Baiyu before was the first to jump out and point at Wei and said: "Hmph! Wei Lai, you thief! and Jiang Huanshui have poisoned me Ningzhou, do you really think that the people of Ningzhou are as bloodthirsty and belligerent as you? ”

The old man's words were filled with righteous indignation, and Yuan Baiyu on the side naturally appreciated it when he heard this, he sneered and looked at Wei Lai and continued: "The old gentleman doesn't need to be angry, this son is a thief, so I will send him on the road. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his comrade Bai behind him and said, "Brother Bai, then you have to kill this son!"

Hearing this, Bai Tong's face turned cold, and he suddenly became murderous, so he shouted violently at that time: "Listen to General Bai's order, kill the thief!"

As soon as these words fell, the surrounding doors suddenly burst open, and hundreds of armored soldiers in armor emerged from behind the doors, and a cold rain of arrows suddenly burst towards this place.

And Wei Lai, who was sitting there, was in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to gather the spiritual power of his body to fight against these arrow rains, but with such thoughts, he suddenly found that the direction of those arrow rains was not him, but the heads of the various departments in Ningzhou......
