Fennel was shrouded in sorrow, but the chief's tent was a completely different scene. Huai Ke began to fidget, and the deputy general Cao Xi was summoned by Huai Ke, and when he saw Huai Ke's sad face at this time, he had guessed what Huai Ke was thinking.

Cao Xi is the nephew of Huaike's wife Cao Huiwen, and is a close relative. On weekdays, in order to be on an equal footing with Qi Zhan in front of Huai Ke, Cao Xi secretly ventilated with his aunt Cao Huiwen, and asked Cao Huiwen to blow the pillow wind to Huai Ke and promote himself. Huai Ke couldn't resist his wife, and secondly, he really needed a family member in the barracks to feel at ease, so within three years, Cao Xi jumped a few levels and was promoted to the position of deputy general. But Cao Xi was still not satisfied, he only hoped that one day Qi Zhan would be crushed by himself, and he would be able to be the major general of Fensang. Therefore, when Qi Zhan was suspected of rebellion, his reaction was the most enthusiastic, and it was indispensable to add fuel to Qi Zhan's "viciousness" by Huai Ke's side.

Cao Xi saw that his uncle was uneasy, so he persuaded: "Uncle, in fact, you don't have to worry about Qi Zhan's affairs. If he has any objections, don't you just get rid of him? ”

"Hey. Originally, Qi Zhan's prestige in the army was quite high, and he was cautious in his words and deeds on weekdays, and I also valued him, but what happened a few days ago, I thought about it carefully, Qi Jue died, I was afraid that Qi Zhan would be difficult to have a grudge against me, and even "

"Uncle, I heard that in Qi Zhan's big tent today, most of the soldiers went there to mourn for his wife, and I heard the little soldiers there say, Qi Zhan's eyes were full of tears, full of hatred, and he had a lot of complaints about your uncle, if it goes on like this, most of those soldiers were bewitched by him, and it is not impossible for him to rebel against his wife, uncle, you have to think carefully and make plans early."

Huai Ke heard Cao Xi say this, and panicked, if Qi Zhan's side was really in turmoil, he would also be famous, so he asked: "Xi'er, should I accompany Qi Zhan, after all, this matter"

When Cao Xi heard this, he immediately stopped and said: "Uncle, you must not, the so-called monarch, although you know your mistakes, you must not admit your mistakes, if you bow your head in front of him, then will you be the leader or him in the future?" In this way, his arrogance from now on will not be even higher, uncle, you must not do this! ”

Huai Ke nodded slowly, "You're right, I can't." But now I should go and appease him. In this way, Cao Xi, you and I will go to the Qizhan tent. ”

In the big tent of Qi Zhan, he sat in front of Sima Jue's coffin for four or five hours, seeing that the sky was dark, he still did not drip, not moving, the soldiers behind him followed Sima Jue, and even stood together for four or five hours, so when Huai Ke saw this scene in front of the big tent of Qi Zhan, the panic in his heart rose, and Qi Zhan was afraid that his status in the army had already surpassed that of his leader.

When the soldier saw the leader coming, he immediately reported loudly: "The leader has arrived!" Vice General Cao has arrived! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they all turned their eyes to Huai Ke and bowed to the leader, Huai Ke maintained the dignity and momentum that the leader should have, and walked straight to the tent, while Cao Xi followed behind Huai Ke, a fox and a tiger.

Huai Ke walked into Qi Zhan's side, Qi Zhan did not look up, still did not say a word, Huai Ke looked at the incense placed next to the coffin, picked up the three pillars, and said: "I will put incense on the pillar for Qi Jue, Qi Zhan." After Huai Ke finished speaking, his eyes gestured to Cao Xi again, Cao Xi nodded, and picked up the incense casually.

Qi Zhan still didn't make a sound, just lowered his head, his eyelids trembled slightly, Huai Ke's eyes glanced at Qi Zhan slightly, and said, "Qi Zhan, I'll mourn you." Huai saw that Qi Zhan did not respond, and the hand that was about to put Qi Zhan on his shoulder was taken back, he sighed, and was turning around and walking outside the tent, but Cao Xi on the side was annoyed and said, "General Qi!" The chief knows that you are sad, and has come to offer condolences, what kind of attitude do you have now, and you are even disrespectful, who is this for! ”

As soon as Cao Xi's words came out, Qi Zhan was not annoyed, but he angered the soldiers outside the tent, and immediately shouted and scolded. "Cao Xi! It's not your turn to go wild here! Don't go yet! Lian Pingzhi, the deputy general standing at the forefront, was the first to shout.

This Lian Pingzhi is Qi Zhan's left and right hand, and he has never been on the same page with Cao Xi, and he and Cao Xi are both deputy generals, and there are not a few times when they fight with each other on weekdays. Cao Xi saw that it was Lian Pingzhi again, and he suddenly became angry, pointed at Lian Pingzhi and shouted: "Which green onion are you, when will it be your turn to spread wild here!" I see that you think you can be on an equal footing with the general because you are a deputy general on weekdays, and the host hasn't opened his mouth yet, and you still gave an eviction order? ”

Lian Ping was so refuted by Cao Xi that he couldn't say a word, and the words choked in his throat. Cao Xi smiled proudly and turned his head, but saw Qi Zhan standing up at this time, Qi Zhan was expressionless, and said to Cao Xi: "You have made a noise with Jue'er, General Cao, please go back!" I don't know if it's intentional, Qi Zhan called Cao Xi a "general".

Cao Xi saw that Qi Zhan only said that he was alone, and he was obviously partial to Lian Pingzhi, so he was very unconvinced, but since the master opened his mouth, he still stayed here, what kind of face did he have.

Huai Ke saw that Qi Zhan finally got up, he smiled slightly, and said, "Qi Zhan, you must mourn." Qi Zhan muffled and said, "Thank you." The affairs of the clan are busy, and I ask you to come in person, and please go back quickly, don't send it. ”

Seeing Qi Zhan's indifferent words, Huai Ke immediately put away his smile, turned around and walked out of the tent, but he didn't see Qi Zhan's back facing him, and a terrible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yin Shaohan resigned to Huai Ke on the second day, and asked Huai Ke what the final decision was on the joint war, Huai Ke only said that he had been busy with all things in the clan recently, and he really didn't want to think about it, and said that he would write to Xiao Feng, the leader of the vultures, in a few days, Yin Shaohan had no choice but to give up, and took the boat arranged by Huai Ke and left with Xi Ji.

The ship was offshore, Xi Ji held the fire in the canopy, motionless, she looked at Yin Shaohan and asked in a low voice, "Are we going back to Dongjing?" ”

Yin Shaohan shook his head and said confusedly: "This matter is not finished yet, how can I return to Dongjing?" ”

"You didn't come to Fensang to do it, but how can you go back to Wu Lu and explain to that Xiao Feng, shouldn't you continue to stay in Fensang and wait for things to be done? Or go back to Dongjing, and it's a hundred. ”

"Haha." Yin Shaohan laughed loudly: "If we stay in Fennensang, I'm afraid we will be implicated in the turmoil, so it's better to leave early." As for whether things can be done or not, whether they will succeed or not depends on his creation. ”

"Unrest?" Xi Ji was even more puzzled, who wants to be in turmoil? Could it be the general named Qi Zhan?

Sure enough, as Yin Shaohan expected, on the night of December 30, Qi Zhan secretly led the deputy generals to guard the various important areas of Qi Sang, and then took three hundred elite soldiers to surround the big tent of the leader of Huai Ke at night, but Huai Ke had already arranged, but the soldiers who followed Qi Zhan were no longer few, and they were brave and brave, Huai Ke was outnumbered after all, Cao Xi was killed on the spot in the big tent, Huai Ke knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Qi Zhan was soft-hearted for a while, thinking that Huai Ke could be promoted, so he decided to imprison Huai Ke and put his family under house arrest.

The next day, led by Qi Zhan, Fensang began to reorganize the inside and outside, the internal military and civilian, and the external diplomatic relations and joint assistance, and the first step of diplomatic relations was the joint war with the Wuxuan. (To be continued.) )
