After settling Sun Tu and the others in his own garden, Xi Feng Chang brought those new horses to the real home of the Xi Feng clan, a mansion that covers an extremely wide area and towers like a palace.

The guards here can be called tight, there are still a mile or two across the gate, there are already dozens of elite Xia soldiers cruising the guards, but the fine seal is often able to pass through as if no one is around, and soon came to the side gate on the left, and after explaining a few words to the head of the guards there, he held more than a hundred horses over, and he himself led the most divine white horse to continue to walk towards the house.

The mansion of the fine seal was luxurious enough from the outside, but it was even more amazing when inside, not only were there many houses, but also a wide horse race road was built, and this strange architectural style looked quite fitting at this time, and people felt that it was taken for granted.

At this time, just as Xi Feng Chang was about to get on the horse and go inside, a fast horse suddenly ran in front of him, and it was a handsome young man in a white robe. As he spoke, his eyes fell on the white horse next to him, and his expression suddenly froze.

The anger in Xi Fengchang's eyes also flashed, and then he said with a smile: "It's thanks to the sixth brother that you asked my father to send me to Wurahai to have a look, otherwise I really can't find such a BMW." Not to mention, this kind of dragon foal is very rare on the Liao side, if this horse is handed over, I think my father will be deeply satisfied. ”

"Hehe, I just said, eighth brother, you will definitely gain a lot when you go to the Wurahai that few people have paid attention to in these years, isn't this it? So you have to thank me a lot. The man smiled very reluctantly, and felt that he had no intention of staying here long under his miscalculation, so he immediately lifted the reins again, and the horse and the fine seal often passed by.

A touch of gloom flashed on the rough face of the fine seal, and he was stunned for a moment before he got on the horse's back, and then suddenly lifted the reins, urging the horse to shoot forward like an arrow, and looked at the people around him for a burst of applause, and the horse alone surpassed the hundreds of horses in the house.

However, for the hostile dialogue between these two sons of the fine seal Yechang, the people around them selectively ignored it. Because this is already an open secret in the Shunjun City, everyone knows that the sons of the city lord's family have been discordant for a long time, and there are all kinds of open and secret battles on weekdays, even the father himself has turned a blind eye, and their subordinates naturally dare not say more, of course, sometimes it is inevitable to stand in line.

He is forty-two years old and has twelve sons and seven daughters. The daughter and the three sons who are not yet minors are fine, but the remaining nine sons are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the eldest son fine Fengyun, the third son fine Feng Yao, the sixth son fine feudal and the eighth son fine Feng Chang, because of their outstanding ability and ambition to take over as the patriarch, the relationship between the four has always been like fire and water, and fighting is inevitable. When they were in front of the father of Xifeng Yechang, they were still somewhat restrained, but once they met in private, they really dared to do anything and dare to say anything.

Xifeng Yechang actually knows why the four outstanding sons are so troublesome, but he doesn't have the Han people's idea of brothers, friends and brothers, if the Xifeng clan wants to be strong all the time, the successor must be good enough, so in the past few years, he has also deliberately let the four sons fight and choose the best one among them.

This time, the fine seal will go to Wurahai City, which is actually a very critical test to see if they have the vision and luck to find the treasures of the people. And because of the previous feudal calculations, Xifeng Chang actually had to go to a small city like Wurahai to hunt for treasures, if he wasn't lucky enough to meet Sun Tu and them, I'm afraid he would really have to go back empty-handed this time. So he was full of resentment towards his sixth brother, if he wasn't in the mansion, maybe he would have to turn his face and do something.

After adjusting his mentality, he finally entered his father's study - it was said to be a study, but in fact, there were not many books in it at all, only some weapons such as bows and crossbows, scimitars, and a huge map made of sheepskin, which was exactly the geographical map of the situation of the three most powerful countries today, Liao, Song and Xia.

The burly man with some loops on his legs because of years of riding a horse has been standing in front of this map for a long time, even if he heard someone coming in, he didn't mean to turn back, he still looked at the map thoughtfully, and said after a while: "Ba'er, you said that if the Liao and Song Dynasty go to war, what choice will my Western Dynasty make?" ”

He was not surprised that his father could hear that he was coming without turning back, and after a short groan, he said: "In my opinion, we should strictly maintain neutrality until one of them is no longer supported, and then take advantage of the situation to send troops, so as to seek enough benefits." ”

"Yes, this is also the key to the prosperity of our Western Dynasty in just a few decades. But after all, our national strength is far inferior to that of the Liao and Song dynasties, so sometimes we have to obey the instructions of the great powers and do things that go against our intentions. At the beginning, he attacked the Song Dynasty several times, but in the final analysis, he was forced by the Liao State. Even if we won those major battles, we also gained benefits, but the loss of national strength and troops was also real. He turned around as he spoke.

If you don't know that this is an important minister of the Xia State or a patriarch in the eight departments of the party, I am afraid that many people will think that this is a Han Confucian when they see him at first sight. Because whether it is his appearance or temperament, he seems to be very gentle and elegant, and he is completely different from the rugged party members, that is, the son of Xifeng Chang is more imposing than him.

Seeing his father turn around, he bent down and saluted, but he was not in a hurry to speak, just waiting for the other party to continue talking. What I said just now is by no means arbitrary, and it should have other profound meanings. Sure enough, Xifeng Yechang quickly said: "This time the emperor's birthday, there are envoys in the Liao and Song dynasties to congratulate him, this is a grand scene that has not been seen for many years." But what their intentions are is very difficult to figure out......"

"Father means that they were the envoys they sent so that our country could send troops at that time?" Xiao Feng Chang frowned slightly: "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"Of course, the conclusion is still inconclusive, but judging from the news from Xingqing Mansion, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to endure it this time. Hmph, Li Qianshun was also the hero of my Western Dynasty generation back then, but now that he is getting older, people have begun to be confused. He didn't know that the battle of the Liao and Song Dynasty was instigated by us in secret, and the best thing for my Western Dynasty to do was to wait and see what happened, and actually planned to get involved in it, which was really ridiculous! The tone was full of disdain for his own emperor, without the slightest hint of awe.

The biggest difference between the Xia people and the Han people is that they are not too in awe of the imperial power, especially the existence of a self-leading family like the Xi Feng clan, and they do not do less to calculate their own emperor behind their backs, let alone talk between father and son.

However, he still frowned: "Is that father planning to give advice?" ”

"Will he Li Qianshun listen to my words? I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will think that I have bad intentions, so this matter will have to fall on other people, some people who can be trusted by him. This time you go to Xingqing Mansion, the most important point is this. ”

"I see." Xi Fengchang was suddenly happy in his heart, it seemed that his father was going to hand over such important things to himself, and once the matter was done, his weight in his father's heart would naturally be very different. But soon, he was a little puzzled: "It's okay if the eldest brother and third brother are not in Shunjun City, why didn't my father hand over this matter to the fine feudal?" ”

"He? Hmph, he has a completely different opinion from you and me, and actually thinks that he should turn to the Liao State in this war to seek greater benefits. ”

Hearing the obvious dissatisfaction in his father's words, Xi Feng Chang became more and more happy in his heart, and immediately replied again: "I will definitely not disappoint my father this time, whether it is the officials of the court and the central government, or those princes, there are always people who understand the matter to stand on our side, and when the time comes, they will speak, and the situation will be stabilized." ”

"Well, I can't come forward in this matter, so I'll leave it to someone else." Only then did he nod with satisfaction, and then asked, "By the way, how did you gain this time?" ”

"It was I who came to report to my father, I bought more than 100 Liao horses in Wurahai City, and in addition, there is a rare divine horse in the world, which can be used as a birthday gift for the emperor." As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and someone outside the door led the white horse out.

Even after seeing this horse, Ye Chang's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked out of the door, looked up and down for a while, and then nodded with great satisfaction: "This horse is indeed a very divine horse, even compared with the treasures found by others." Okay, this time you went to the Urakhai and really got a big harvest. ”

"I did get an unexpected big harvest, not because of this horse, but because of a person, a talent who defected from the Liao State." Xi Feng Chang immediately told the details of his encounter with Sun Tu and his deep discussion, and at the end he even praised it: "This Sun Qianli is really a rare talent, no matter how good he is martial arts, he is also bold, if he can use it well, it will be a great help." ”

"In your opinion, since you have said so, this person does have some ability. But...... You said that he was from Liao, and it was a bit inappropriate to use him casually. Xi Feng Ye Chang said worriedly: "He is not from our clan after all, maybe it was specially arranged by the Liao people." ”

"But ......" didn't wait for the fine seal to defend anything, the fine seal Ye Chang had already waved his hand and said: "People can still use it, but before that, you have to try him first......
