As we all know, the status of the Qin clan in the Xu clan is not ordinary.

Which child the Qin clan is loyal to, basically defaults to who is the next head of the family.

Now the head of the family is Xu Pei, but the Qin family has always been loyal to Xu Fei.

Didn't Ming Huanghuang slap him in the face, telling the world that he, the head of the family, was robbed by illegal channels?

Every time he thinks of this, Xu Pei can't wait for his grandfather to give him a dream in the middle of the night, so that he can ask for an understanding-

As the eldest grandson, how is he inferior to Xu Fei?

It was the old man's partiality and negation that made Xu Pei even more eager to defeat Xu Fei head-on!

He wants everyone in the world to know that Xu Fei is not as good as him!

He deserves to be the head of the house!

Now, Xu Fei has shrunk in one place, seeing that he can't do it, Xu Pei feels that the stubborn stone that is pressing on his heart is finally about to be moved.

Who knew that something happened at this time-

Xu Pei endured the restlessness and anger in his heart, and said gloomily, "The Qin family is loyal and martyred, and the upper and lower families are all over the battlefield for Xu Fei, and Qin Gong is the only one left—you say, why did Qin Gong take refuge in Liu Xi, and get more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Liu Xi and go straight to Hujun?"

All the ministers leaned over one after another, and none of them dared to look at Xu Pei's gloomy face that could drip water.

Regardless of the twists and turns, at least one thing is for sure-

Liu Xi intervened in this matter, Xu Pei wanted to kill his cousin Xu Fei, I was afraid that it would be difficult.

"One by one, don't you dare to say it or don't you know?"

Xu Pei got up from the seat angrily, raised his hand and pointed to the black courtiers below.

At such a time, who would dare to make a bird?

Cheng Xun also heard someone muttering softly on the side.

"It would be nice if Han Yu was here—"

Han Yu has a rather upright personality, and except for special circumstances, he is generally outspoken.

Although such a temperament is not pleasing, it is also a good candidate for the top cylinder at critical moments.

If he was here, without waiting for Xu Pei to question angrily, he had already figured out a way to pour water to extinguish the fire, where would the atmosphere become so stagnant?

"Lord, the key to this matter is not who Qin Gong defected to, the key is Liu Xi. Cheng Xun looked at dozens of pairs of eyes in the hall, and said slowly, "The dispute between the lord and Xu Fei is at best a dispute between the princes, and at a small point, it is just a family matter between brothers. It is reasonable that Liu Xi should not send troops to intervene, let alone help one of them. Moreover, the lord and Liu Xi met when they were young. During the Huangshui Alliance, the lord also took care of her many times. Now she doesn't miss the old love and meddles in the family affairs of the lord without authorization. This act is against morality. ”

To put it mildly, this man is nosy with a mouse.

Anyway, Xu Pei has taken care of her before, so she reciprocates?

People do their jobs!

Xu Pei was holding back the anger in his heart, but what Cheng Xun said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute anything.

"Liu Xi-Liu Lanting is a deviant person, what if she does something that violates morality? Who can control her?"

Xu Pei's words recognized Cheng Xun's comments on Jiang Pengji in disguise.

Cheng Xun suggested with a calm face.

The lord ordered someone to send a letter to ask Liu Xi for an explanation. It's good that she can retire. refused to retreat, and the lord also took advantage of it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Pei's expression, which was still a little expectant, immediately converged, and there seemed to be a volcano suppressed in his eyes.

"This matter can be solved by a letter?"

Xu Pei was furious, only feeling that Cheng Xun had said nonsense and wasted his time and expectations.

Cheng Xun was not stunned, but said calmly, "Liu Xi's meaning is not Xu Fei, but the lord." It's just that she is now unknown, and if she rashly sends troops to the lord, she will inevitably bear the stigma of 'ingratitude'. If the lord can't hold her breath first, she will have an excuse to send troops. Now she is just meddling in the affairs of the lord's family and pulling Xu Fei along, and the bottom line is not really-"

"Needless to say, I'll think about it again—"

Xu Pei interrupted Cheng Xun's words unhappily.

Cheng Xun could only endure the words on the tip of his tongue and silently returned to his position.

In the current situation, war is inevitable.

The only difference is in whose hands the initiative is, and who is more "famous".

Cheng Xunsheng was afraid that the lord would be impulsive, so he gave Liu Xi the opportunity to provoke.

Xu Pei didn't want to hear this, he wanted to try his best not to start a war without going to war.

Not long after Cheng Yuan sat down, his colleagues next to him came out.

"Returning to the lord, the minister thought that the prince had a sentence that was very reasonable. Liu Xi helped Xu Fei, and the essence was to meddle in the family affairs of the lord. If the lord took the lead in taking care of this family matter before the arrival of her vanguard army, she naturally had no other reason to cause another military disaster. ”

When Cheng Xun heard this, he clenched his hands violently and looked at his colleagues around him in disbelief.

Liu Xi is determined to fight, how can he stop because Xu Fei took the lead in hitting the street?

If you don't make trouble, you will suffer from the enemy!

If the lord solves Xu Fei, he may also solve a problem for Jiang Pengji.

In Cheng Xun's view, since the war is going to start sooner or later, why not take the lead and make full pre-war preparations?

Surprisingly, Xu Pei was a little interested in this suggestion.

No matter why Qin Gong threw himself into Jiang Pengji's account, Xu Fei's instructions were always indispensable here—he was afraid that Xu Fei would use Jiang Pengji's power to turn over, which was not what he wanted to see.

The people who know you best are often not friends but rivals, and the Hsu brothers are no exception.

Xu Pei also knows his cousin.

Just as he was not convinced that his grandfather favored Xu Fei, Xu Fei also resented that he wanted to take over everything because he occupied the name of his eldest grandson.

They can lose at the hands of others, but they must not accept their defeat to the other side.

"Do you really think Liu Xi is the last straw?"

Xu Pei secretly mocked in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a trace of calculation.

He will never give Xu Fei any chance to turn over-

Xu Fei never thought that Xu Pei would kill him regardless of the friendship of his clan.

This was unexpected by Xu Fei, but it was expected by Jiang Pengji.

Let her help?

The cost is very high, and basically no one can afford it.

Qin Gong led more than 10,000 elites to Shanghai County, and received a secret report on the way-

Xu Pei's army made a move, gave up the siege and turned to storm the mountain urn city, not surprisingly, Xu Fei in the city held out for another ten days at most.

The terrain of the mountain urn city is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Xu Fei can hide here to be stable for a while.

But Xu Pei really broke the city at any cost, and Xu Fei's side could hold it for ten days.

"How-"

When Qin Gong heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, and the blood all over his body seemed to be about to flow backwards.

"How far is it from here to the Mountain Urn City?" Yang Si asked the messenger.

The messenger said, "Half a moon at less!"

Half-moon?

Time is completely too late.

Qin Gong tightened his grip on the reins, and the more flustered he became, the calmer his mind became.

"Strategist—I want to take a few people to take a shortcut, and if it goes well, I can shorten the journey by at least six days. ”

"Six days?" Yang Si was surprised, and he said bluntly, "Captain Qin thinks that Si doesn't know about the two counties of Zhejiang and Shanghai? These two places are vast and can reach the two ordinary states. Captain Qin wants to shorten the journey by six days, which is a distance across a state, do you plan to rest for only half an hour a day? Even if you can stand it, the soldiers can't stand it. Barely rushing over is nothing more than sending 10,000 tired troops to the enemy. ”

Yang Si thought that Qin Gong was a calm and good seedling, but now that he looks, he is even more reckless than Dian Yin.

Dianyin, this man is dull and dull, so obedient that he will not go west if he goes east.

Qin Gong said, "No matter what, Gong is going to go." Do your best...... For the rest, leave it to fate. ”
