Chapter 283: To add insult to injury

Gongsun Xi was out of the Ningwei Marquis Mansion after talking with Xu Zijing before, and was stopped by someone and took out the token of Rong Sleeping Crane to explain the inside story of King Gaomi's rebellion.

He was anxious to think that King Gaomi's action was beyond Rong Sleeping Crane's expectations, for fear that it would cause Rong Sleeping Crane to be far away in the western frontier and not respond in time, falling into a passive situation.

Knowing that the driving force behind the scenes was his own county king, of course, he was calm, so after connecting with the visitor, he immediately turned back to the Hou Mansion and informed Xu Zijing, so as not to let this Hou Ye follow the fire in a hurry...... In fact, he turned back in time, if it was a little later, Xu Zijing would not only send his son, daughter-in-law and daughter away, but even the descendants of the Sheng family would have taken it into account.

However, after listening to Gongsun Xi's narration, Xu Zijing thought about it again and again, and still asked Xu Baomo and other juniors to leave the Hou Mansion and go to the secret courtyard in the north of the city to settle: "King Gaomi suddenly made a difficulty, if it was out of himself, the success or failure is still unknown. But with the secret handwriting, eighty percent of them are going to fail. However, in the current situation, Mi Zhen can't really force him to a dead end, so in the next Chang'an City, inside and outside the city, it is impossible to say that there will be continued chaos. At this time, it's better to let the children go out and hide!"

Gongsun Xi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, because if Rong Mianhe didn't expect King Gaomi to rebel, Xu Zijing's worries at this time would be fine.

However, this time, Rong Sleeping Crane was adding fuel to the fire, but he didn't say anything to Xu Zijing and others in advance, which is very suspicious of deliberately cheating the Xu family and Mrs. Sheng and others.

Xu Zijing saw his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it too much! You don't know what Mizhen is like? Since the envoy he sent to Chang'an this time, since he can block you outside my mansion, he is obviously concerned about the safety of our old Xu family, and must have prepared means to protect us." The reason why I insisted on letting them leave was not because I didn't trust Mizhen's means, but because I thought that others were in the western Xinjiang, and it was inconvenient to command remotely, so I sent my children and daughters-in-law away, and I couldn't say that I couldn't encounter any changes, and I could let go of my hands and feet to give him a hand!"

Then he said, "Since Mizhen has already made arrangements, I think you will rest in the house and wait and see what happens, so as not to ruin his plan...... By the way, how is he going to do well?"

The two envoys said that the main purpose of the county king's visit was twofold: one was to use the hands of King Gaomi to eradicate the power of the Meng clan in the court, and if it was not good, it would greatly damage their vitality, so as to delay the supply of the northern Xinjiang army; Gongsun was happy and calmed down, and said, "As for the aftermath, what the king of the county means is that after both of them are defeated, there is nothing to fear!"

It means that as long as the principal of the Meng clan dies, the hole cards of King Gaomi are almost used, and no matter how much Chang'an is full of holes at that time, it doesn't matter if he sleeps with cranes?

Xu Zijing thought for a while, and asked him to take Gongsun Xi to the guest house to settle down, and he turned back to the back hall to see the Nan family.

The Nan family was sitting with a frowning brow when he came back from Mo Caixuan helping his son and daughter-in-law pack their luggage.

In the end, it was the person who accompanied Xu Zijing to survive in Northern Xinjiang, although she looked a little troubled at this time, she didn't have much fear, and when she saw her husband come in, she also said to him: "Baomo, this bastard boy is really angry, even Cai Kui and Cai Fu are sensible to clean up things, but he is still shouting to stay and help! Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is considerate, and handed me a whisk in time, and smoked him firmly, finally honest!"

"This kid has seen too few battles, it's just dragging mud and water! I'm tired of you!" Xu Zijing hurriedly stepped forward to shake Hao's wrist and rub it for her, and said in favor while rubbing, "Fortunately, my daughter-in-law grew up at sea, and she has been used to seeing scenes since she was a child. ”

Nan Shi said with emotion: "The greatest blessing in his life is probably to meet such a self-denying wife! So I feel a little dislike for Mizhen at this time, and he won't greet us for such a big thing! I'm not worried about my own life, I'm afraid that we will have three long and two short, and it will be difficult to change the old habit of holding ink, and we will continue to treat Ying Jiang badly! At that time, Ying Jiang's temperament of enduring humiliation and burden, won't he be forced to die by him?!"

Xu Zijing comfortingly pinched the back of her hand and said, "It's okay, even if we are gone, aren't the Qiao'er couple in Western Xinjiang still there?"

"If you don't say Qiao'er, I can rest assured!" Nan said hatefully, "This child is said to have grown up in the palm of his hand, not to mention his pampered temper, he should be a little arrogant, isn't it? As a result? Every time Ying Jiang has a conflict with Baomo, she almost all of them stand on Baomo's side! It really makes me angry just thinking about it!"

"And Xinzhang and his wife! That's Ying Jiang's righteous grandfather and grandmother. Xu Zijing continued to comfort, "Brother Xinzhang is the most protective, isn't he?"

Nan sighed: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Brother Xinzhang will think of us, and he will love that little rabbit cub in every way, and he is reluctant to teach him a lesson, and in the end he still wronged Ying Jiang...... Forget it, we're still alive, we don't curse ourselves, let's get down to business! What the hell is the ins and outs? Although I sent Chensha to listen in the back, she didn't dare to stand close for fear of disturbing you, and she didn't understand much. ”

Xu Zijing said: "What else? Mizhen's temper, we have all seen it." In order to pick a word from Cai Kui back then, we exhausted all our methods, but he still took Sister Qiao'er and left! It can be seen that his temperament is great! A few days ago, King Gaomi suppressed him, but anyone who knew the origin and reason of those rumors had to hold grievances for Mizhen! Not to mention himself? This child was born rich and fell into a bandit den, and he fought his way out of a bloody road, and for more than ten years, in the wind and waves, he was personally resisted, when did he have to let others call the shots for him?

"Even if a few old men go to Gaomi Palace, where can he be satisfied?"

"What one purpose and two purposes this time, if you want me to say, he is taking revenge!"

Nan's impression of King Gaomi has always been not very good, and when he heard this, he said: "Just Mizhen's own father! is more ruthless than other stepfathers! Mizhen is weaker, and he is afraid that there will be no bones left that he will not eat? At that time, he will teach Qiao'er what to do with the child in her womb?

Speaking of this, he frowned, "However, for such a big matter, the child didn't reveal a word to us in advance, and only after it was launched, he sent someone to the door to say it, and it was a step slower than Ah Xi, who didn't know it...... What is the situation? Although the secret chastity is very temperamental, but the matter of picking sunflowers should have been exposed a long time ago, right?

Xu Zijing frowned and thought for a while, stopped rubbing his wife's wrist, looked out vigilantly, gave Chensha who was standing on the side with his hands down, and asked her to go out and guard the door, before he whispered: "I have an idea about this, that is, ...... Emperor!"

"Huan Guanlan?!" Nan snorted in surprise, but thinking of her husband's attitude at the moment, she quickly covered her mouth and asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly get involved with him?!"

He whispered again, "Besides, isn't he already dead?!" Or did Mi Zhen personally secretly send it to Bishui County and hand it over to the Huan family?"

Xu Zijing whispered: "Such a character, when he dies, can't he leave a group of loyal subordinates and act according to the instructions he left behind before his death?" As you said, Mizhen is a fine person, and he gets along with us well. He wanted to launch such a big thing, but he didn't have any warning in advance, and only sent someone to report it after the incident had already happened...... This is not normal!"

"Either he deliberately tricked us because he offended Qiao Er because of Cai Kui, or some other grievance that we didn't notice; or he was very sure that he wouldn't disturb us; the last possibility was that he didn't want to remind us in advance, but because of ......"

His face was gloomy, "Because we have eyeliner in the house, he can't remind us without alarming the eyeliner!"

Nan Shi was taken aback and said, "The matter of Cai Kui has long passed, I don't believe that Mi Zhen is such a stingy person......! Although it is said that the kid will be revenged, but in my opinion, the kid actually has clear grievances! As far as we are concerned, we dare not say how heartfelt and heartfelt we are to the Sheng family, to him and Qiao'er, at least there is no malice, he is not the kind of foolish person, he will hate the world friend if he is picked up by some mess, how can he deliberately cheat us?"

"As for saying that the back hand is sure, so I won't tell us, this doesn't make sense...... Even if he can make sure that we are safe and sound, look at the boiling sky outside, and even the fire in the forest garden over there!"

"How can we not be worried!"

"Especially if it's a big matter, let's inform the elders in advance, we have a good idea in our hearts, and we can be ready to pick up the gaps for him, right?!"

"Besides, this is also human nature, and it is the etiquette that should be had!"

"That kid has always been svenile, but there is no shortage of etiquette!"

She pondered for a moment before she asked suspiciously, "You said that there is eyeliner in our house...... What's going on?!"

"I guessed. Xu Zijing hesitated for a moment and said, "Our family has a thin background, even if you have a good family, this little thing at this time, as well as the subordinates, have also been purchased one after another after coming to Chang'an." When I was still in the opening of the mansion, my father and mother wrote a letter to me, saying that it was the old lady Sheng who reminded the people below to carefully screen it, so as not to become a sieve in the huge mansion, do you remember?"

Seeing his wife nodding, he said, "At that time, for the sake of safety, we specially asked Brother Xinzhang to help and bought a group of subordinates from the south to come over as close attendants. As for the rough envoys, because of the rewards of the imperial court and various families, especially the gifts of the Meng family and the King of Gaomi at that time, it was really difficult to shirk it, so some of them were kept. Although in the next few years, we were successively sent to the bottom of the Zhuangzi, but just a few of us, where can we see it? Maybe some of the people who stayed in the south were bought by them?"

"Are you saying that Mi Zhen is afraid that if she comes over in advance and will be noticed by King Gaomi and the Meng Clan?" Nan nodded and said, "I see! ”

Xu Zijing shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, I suspect it, the emperor...... Huan Guanlan may also have people in our house!"

Nan was stunned and said: "When Huan Guanlan died, Mi Zhen had not yet entered the Sheng family, so why did he stretch his hand so long?!"

"This has nothing to do with the Sheng family. Xu Zijing reminded her, "Have you forgotten the ending of General Zhou? After General Zhou left, the northern frontier was once leaderless, and his deputy took care of it for a few years, until I accumulated military merits and was promoted! With this, you say that the emperor would not notice me if he still had the world in mind during the period when he was hiding on Tortoiseshell Island?!"

The voice was low, "Since the emperor has prepared Jishan thieves in the western Xinjiang, Mizhen has nothing to do with our family at that time, do you think the emperor can press a few nails in our house?!"

Nan Shi said puzzledly: "But the nails left by the emperor should also be on Mi Zhen's side, right?" Mi Zhen didn't dare to pass on the news in advance, for fear that King Gao Mi and the Meng family would know about it...... Why are you afraid that the emperor's people will know?!"

Xu Zijing thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about this. After all, Mi Zhen never told us about his relationship with the emperor...... I just think that this time King Gaomi and the Meng family both think they are yellow birds, and they are only afraid that they have not come back to their senses until now, Mi Zhen can make the game to this point, if he is just afraid of the eyeliner of these two families, he has no reason not to even give us a little news!"

"The so-called apprentice Mo Ruoshi, I think the only one who can make him leak a drop of water to us in such a big event is the emperor!"

After the couple discussed this, they both felt heavy, and they were also in a fog, and they were relatively silent for a while, and Nan asked, "The children have left just now, what are we going to do?"

"I left Ah Xi in the guest house to renovate. Xu Zijing told her, "As for now...... It's a big night, it's still so noisy outside, it's naturally better to be still, and stay in the house first, it's best if no one comes to disturb it, if someone comes, see the move!"

After a pause, "After dawn, I'll inquire about the situation." ”

…… At this time, Gongsun Xi just entered the door, and Xu Zijing showed him the information with a solemn face: "King Gaomi has fallen short in Hehuan Palace, and now he is retreating to Chang'an City, I am afraid that all the families in the city, except for the group of people who support him, will suffer!"

Gongsun Xi didn't answer this, but said a worse news: "The news of the 100,000 people in the Wuyi camp: Ruru Khan Dengchen Liyu was seriously injured in assassination, and it is suspected that time may be short!!"

Xu Zijing stood up in horror: "Really?!"
