Chapter 41: Who will do the feast?

Cui Hong saw that the three envoys agreed to his request, so he clapped his hands three times and walked in Yang Hongzu and Li Zhong from the outside.

Li Xiaofei and the others were not surprised this time, they had been in Chang'an City for two days, and even if Hu Jian and Hou Dong appeared in front of them at this time, they would not be surprised.

Several people saluted each other and entered the table, and Yang Hongzu and Li Zhong sat on either side of Cui Hong. Yang Hongzu spoke first: "We all heard what the three envoys said to Master Cui just now. The three adults knew that it was no longer a secret of the Qin State that Lord Cui wanted to be the emperor. You don't have to worry about us doing you harm. It's just that Hu Jian is foolish and loyal, and he doesn't know the times. That's why we need to rely on the soldiers and horses of your Liang Kingdom."

As soon as Xie Dan saw that he was an old opponent in the main hall, he also asked: "I am from the same family as you, and there is a fact that is unknown, please give advice?" ”

Yang Hongzu touched his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Xie, it doesn't hurt to ask, although my knowledge is shallow, I also know everything and answer everything."

Xie Dan pointed his finger at Cui Hong: "Lord Yang and Lord Cui are ministers in the same hall, he is called lonely in the south of Lord Cui, and the two adults have to kneel down and be called ministers, I don't know how the two adults feel?" ”

Yang Hongzu pointed to the dishes on the table with chopsticks: "Lord Xie, we will not eat a little less than others on this table of wine and food, and Master Cui knows our tastes better, and we eat better and more." Such a simple truth, Lord Xie should be able to understand"

Xie Dan was ashamed of himself: "But you can see it clearly, and you want to go directly to the front of the stage." Our four great families in Jiangnan can't even think of it."

Li Zhong took over the words: "It's too tiring to always support those poor generals to be emperors, these people have neither knowledge nor know how to govern the country, and most of them are greedy and cruel, but our harvest is not as good as before."

Qin Shun sighed in his heart, will this Xie Dan learn the methods of the three major families of the Qin State back, and then the Liang State Jiangshan will also change his surname.

Qin Shun was thinking about it, and Cui Hong ordered someone to clip a piece of mutton to Qin Shun: "Qin Zhengzhi, no dynasty or generation will lose your position, don't think about it, you won't lose a piece of meat that you should eat."

Li Xiaofei's heart is a little blocked, these people regard the world as private property, and all they talk about is how to take the wealth and land of the world as their own, and how to make transactions. I don't care about the unclothed people Gardenia, just like no people have ever existed in this world.

Yang Hongzu noticed the change in Li Xiaofei, so he stretched out his chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of beef for Li Xiaofei: "Although the little hero is from a poor family, he is a close confidant of King Han, General Chen's entourage, so he can get out of the cold family, and he may be able to rank as the third prince one day."

Li Xiaofei also came back to his senses, and immediately took the meat with a smile, and after a polite salute, he toasted Cui Hong and them one by one.

The banquet of the six people soon ended in mutual praise and toasting, and Li Xiaofei and Cui Hong agreed to bring the envoys of the three families back to Yingchuan in three days.

Out of Cui Hong's mansion, fifty government soldiers followed behind to escort Li Xiaofei, Qin Shun, and Xie Dan back to Jingzhao Mansion.

In the middle of the night, Li Xiaofei was gently woken up from the side of the bed. Li Xiaofei was startled at first, but then reacted that the other party had no malicious intent, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Hou Dong, the king of Great Qin.

Hou Dong made a silent gesture and then sat next to Li Xiaofei, who comprehended and came over with his ears.

It turned out that Hou Dong had already known the schemes of the three great families, and he did not trust Hu Jian. This time, the envoys of the Liang State arrived, and Li Xiaofei's fight with them in the palace made Hou Dong see a glimmer of hope, so he personally sneaked into Jingzhao Mansion to meet Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei whispered to Hou Dong that Hu Jian and the three major families had betrayed the Qin State, but the content of the transaction was different.

Hou Dong took out an edict from his arms and handed it to Li Xiaofei, telling Li Xiaofei that he knew that the position of the king of heaven was just a puppet, but he still wanted to fight hard, and would rather die for the noble township than for the common township. The content of this edict was actually to cede Guanzhong to the Liang State and claim to the Liang State.

Li Xiaofei shook his head: "You are just to keep your position as the Heavenly King, and you are also here to make a deal with Liang Guo." Please forgive me for not being able to do anything".

Hou Dong said flatly: "Yes, only in this way can I survive." Do you know why I'm looking for you? Because I am from a pariah background like you, even most of the people in the Hou family army are untouchable orphans. After speaking, the imprint on his body was revealed, and Li Xiaofei saw through the moonlight that it was vaguely the mark of a slave.

Li Xiaofei shook his head: "Even if your idea can be realized, it will only be a short breath, you can't fight these big families."

Hou Dong did not give up convincing Li Xiaofei, and continued: "In the past, we couldn't fight, but now with your help, at least we can give it a try." If you march into Guanzhong, I will lead the army loyal to me back to Yecheng for refuge, and I need to use your army to eradicate those who are tyrannical and oppressive to the people. ”

Li Xiaofei replied: "If the Liang State sends troops, after receiving Guanzhong, it will definitely not be satisfied, and it will definitely sweep through the counties of Hebei at that time, and your Hou Jiajun and your position as the Heavenly King will still not be preserved." Your thoughts today are meaningless, and I don't even know what you're for? ”

Hou Dong showed a hint of a smile: "I actually knew my ending for a long time, either I was poisoned or died in the chaos. But even so, I want to do something to end this chaotic era, even if it goes with it. The world is not our private property, the world is the world of the people, and only by ending this chaotic era can the people live and work in peace and contentment. Actually, I miss the days when I was a kid herding cattle, carefree. ”

Li Xiaofei didn't believe Hou Dong's statement, he always felt that Hou Dong was just doing crazy things to keep his position. However, he felt that this was an opportunity, a good opportunity for Liang to restore the Central Plains, so he pretended to agree and kept the secret edict close to him.

Hou Dong sneaked out quietly, jumped on the wall and disappeared into the night. Li Xiaofei carefully recalled what Hou Dong said.

This Hou Dong doesn't seem to be bad at martial arts, but he is very weak and powerless in the main hall, Li Xiaofei can't help but sigh that these imperial generals can perform and disguise one by one.

Li Xiaofei sorted out his thoughts again, and thought about it, after all, there is an inexplicable relationship between the big families, neither Hu Jian nor Hou Dong can fight the three major families, and the end of the two of them must be a dismal ending. What is in front of him now is to leave the Qin State with Qin Shun and Xie Dan as soon as possible, and one more day will be one more risk. There are more unknown risks in the next envoy to the Black Flag Khanate and the Green Flag Khanate, and speaking of which, Li Xiaofei wants to return to Chuzhou directly to see Hongrui.
