Chapter 384: Business as usual

Wei Fang looked at Cai Qiong in front of him, showing a frightened gaze, and wanted to pick up the sword and kill him with a sword, but now that he killed Cai Qiong, then he Wei Fang would have to run away, otherwise he would definitely be executed by Meng Weijun!

Wei Fang was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "Cai Qiong informed the king of this matter, this is loyalty to the king, and came to inform the king, this is to the righteousness below, how can such a loyal person do anything below?" ”

After a pause, he said: "Brother Cai, thank you for taking the risk to come to inform, I am very grateful, and I will repay it in the future!" Now, in order to avoid suspicion, I still ask Brother Cai to go back quickly, as if he has never been here. ”

Cai Qiong saw that Wei Fang let him leave, thought about it again, and said: "Brother Wei, now that your matter has been known by the king, if you continue to stay here, you may be killed, why don't you leave quickly." ”

When Wei Fang heard this, he said awe-inspiringly: "Although Mrs. Xia's fornication is already considered disloyal to the king, but now that Xue Cheng is besieged, he left the city at this time, isn't this even more disloyal to the king?" ”

"Besides, if you flee at this time, isn't this telling you that the news has leaked, and once you find out, it will inevitably affect you, which is an injustice to you. What face does the disloyal and unrighteous person have a foothold in the world, although he is not talented, but he also disdains to be such a disloyal and unrighteous person! ”

Although Brother Cai saw that Wei Fang said so righteously, he had some doubts in his heart, suspecting that Wei Fang had other plans secretly, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Wei, if the king pursues this matter, how can Your Excellency do it." ”

Wei Fang said as a matter of course: "If the king pursues it and plans for the king, he will ask the king for his life, and ask the king to let me go out of the city and die with the enemy army to repay the king's kindness." ”

Cai Qiong was choked in an instant, looking at Wei Fang's appearance of wholeheartedly planning for Meng Weijun, she couldn't tell that it was fake at all, so she had to arch her hand and say: "Your Excellency is high-minded..."

The next day, Chen Tong followed Tian Wen early, planning to wait and see what Tian Wen and Wei Fang would do today.

After Tian Wen finished washing up and used the morning food, he instructed the attendants beside him: "Let the guests prepare the car, and this monarch will go to the city wall to supervise the battle!" ”

"Yui!"

Chen Tong followed not far behind Tian Wen, his head lowered, his nerves were already extremely excited, just waiting for the murder to repay his kindness.

When Tian Wen went out, the guard over there had already prepared the carriage and horses, and was waiting in the house, as usual.

Tian Wen saw Wei Fang from a distance, his face was as usual, although he knew that Wei Fang had an abnormal relationship with his wife and brought him a green hat, but he pretended not to know, as if he didn't know anything, he didn't say anything, he was as approachable as ever, and he didn't show a sense of alienation.

Although Tian Wen did not have any abnormalities, his guards' hearts were all beating to their throats, lest the guards suddenly burst out and stab.

When Wei Fang saw Meng Yanjun approaching, he knew that Meng Shanjun already knew that he had fornicated with his wife, but at this time, he saw that nothing had happened to Meng Yanjun, as if he didn't know that he was having an affair with Mrs. Meng Shanjun, so he didn't say anything.

So, Wei Fang thought about it, and also pretended that he didn't know that Meng Weijun already knew, didn't say anything, and saluted respectfully as usual: "Your Majesty, the carriage and horses have been prepared." ”

"Good!" Tian Wen responded cordially, and then boarded the carriage at the service of the attendants and headed towards the city wall.

Chen Tong followed behind Tian Wen, and when he saw such a situation, he immediately looked at Tian Wen, and then at Wei Fang on the side.

He knows, he knows, he doesn't say, he doesn't say.

What's going on?

Could it be that last night's incident was a dream, a complete illusion, and never happened at all?

Chen Tong was dumbfounded.

Then three days passed, Chen Tong had already planned to serve the country with his body, but he never had a chance, and Tian Wen and Wei Fang were still the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

Disappointment... Very disappointed...

Outside the city.

In the Chu camp, Xiong Huai and King Song sat side by side, and below, a person with a somewhat depressed face saluted in a surging mood at this time.

"Chenden meets the king, and meets the king of Song!"

The person who saluted was none other than Xue Jun Xue Deng of the Chu State.

Ten days ago, Xue Deng, who was still in Yingdu, received an edict from the king of Chu, saying that Chu had agreed with Song to attack Xue Cheng and restore Xue.

Upon learning of this, Xue Deng was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to Xue Cheng with the tablet of his ancestors and all his entourage.

After more than a month, he finally arrived in Xuecheng at this time.

"No courtesy." Xiong Huai and King Song glanced at each other and said: "Xianqing, the widow wants King Song to discuss and plan to restore the Xue Kingdom, so I ask Xianqing to return to Xue Di and inherit the throne of Xue Jun." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! King Xie Song! Xue Deng said again.

Xiong Huai said "um", and then spoke: "Originally, according to the plan of the widow and the king of Song, after the Chu and Song countries conquered Xue Cheng, let Xianqing take the throne in Xue Cheng, and announce to the people of Xue Di that Xue Jun has returned, and Xue Di has returned to the hands of Xue Jun and his family. ”

Let Xue Jun re-ascend the throne in Xue Cheng, which is what the King of Song requested.

Because Xue Cheng belonged to the Song State, after defeating Xue Cheng, the Song army was bound to control Xue Cheng, so that Xue Jun, who was enthroned in Xue Cheng, even if he had a Chu background, would be firmly controlled by the Song State and become the Xue Jun of the Song State.

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the previous incident of Meng Weijun throwing money in Xuecheng and using money to buy people's hearts caused great trouble to the siege of Chu and Song.

Therefore, after more than 20 days of continuous assault, paying many costs, and the defense of Xue City was not weakened, the King of Song had no choice but to accept the proposal of Chu State, let Xue Jun take the throne directly outside the city, and then announced to the people that Xue Di had returned to Xue Jun's hands. It is hoped that this will further disintegrate the fighting spirit in the city.

After Xiong Huai told Xue Jun the news, King Song then spoke: "Xue Jun, Tian Wen has already announced in the city that he will exempt the people from taxes for one year, and open the money warehouse to buy the hearts of the people. ”

"Therefore, after discussing with the king of Chu, the widow decided to wait for the Qing to ascend the throne, and immediately announce to all the people of Xue Di that they would be exempt from tax for three years."

"This..." Xue Deng only hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the king of Chu nodding, he immediately responded: "The minister has an order!" ”

For Xue Deng, tax exemption or anything, it doesn't matter. Although Xue Di is the land of the ancestors, as early as a hundred years ago, the Xue State was occupied by the Qi State, and in his Lao Tzu's generation, Xue Jun's position was also abolished by the Qi State.

Regaining Xue Di, this is a windfall, what is not satisfied!

Seeing that Xue Jun agreed, Xiong Huai then spoke: "Without further ado, the widow and the King of Song have decided to suspend the siege of the city tomorrow morning and hold an enthronement ceremony for Xianqing." After the enthronement ceremony, the widow and the king of Song recruited 20,000 strong men from Xue Di as the army of Xue Di, under your command, and together with the Song army, attacked Xue Cheng from the south. ”

Xue Jun was stunned for a moment, it was somewhat unreasonable for him to attack the south with the King of Song, instead of following the king to attack the east.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still saluted and said, "Only! ”
