Chapter 263: Suspicious
If you don't deal with Zhang Huatian's trouble early, it will definitely become a hidden danger of stabbing you in the back in the future.
However, Zhang Huatian has been in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has already secured his position, and he has cultivated a large number of his own henchmen.
It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, even if Xiao Jingcong is a peerless general, this time he met that Zhang Huatian, it is definitely not so easy to deal with......
Xiao Jingcong's expression had already changed drastically, but he still didn't speak now, and continued to listen to Wei Wuji's story.
Wei Wuji took a breath, and then replied to Xiao Jingcong: "Lord Xiao, in fact, I won't tell you anything, now the entire Beishui City is watching under the nose of that Zhang Huatian. Maybe there are killers from Beiliang who have been eyeing you for a long time. Xiaguan risked his life to tell the news to the prince, just because he wanted the prince to be able to make decisions for the lower officials and the thousands of people in Northern Xinjiang, and he must not let Northern Xinjiang fall into the hands of Northern Liang! ”
"Hmph, so you deliberately exposed the whereabouts of this king in the street market, exposed the identity of this king, and let this king wade into this troubled water no matter what?" Xiao Jingcong sneered, not angry but mighty, those deep eyes stared at Wei Wuji, as if they could penetrate Wei Wuji's soul.
When Wei Wuji heard this, he once again pleaded with Xiao Jingcong and said: "The prince forgives the sin, the lower officials definitely have no intention of exposing the whereabouts of the prince, let alone forcing the prince to wade into this troubled water!" This is a matter of northern Xinjiang, if it is uncertain, once we start a war with Beiliang, it must be us who will suffer heavy casualties at that time! Please also ask the prince to focus on the overall situation! ”
Wei Wuji's bitter words made Xiao Jingcong silent a little.
Since Wei Wuji said so, he naturally blamed the side, not to mention that he was thousands of miles away, and he led the army all the way north to solve the war in Northern Xinjiang, if Northern Xinjiang could not settle down, even if he won this war with Northern Liang, Northern Xinjiang would become a time bomb in the future, and there was a possibility of explosion at any time.
Therefore, Zhang Huatian's cancer must be eliminated no matter what. Xiao Jingcong had already made up his mind about this, even if Wei Wuji didn't open his mouth to ask, he would be obliged.
However, this Beishui City is not very far from Yuncheng and Northern Xinjiang, but it is a good place to hide soldiers.
Originally, Xiao Jingcong planned to transfer the army to Yuncheng, a border fortress city that was closer to the northern border, but now that he heard Wei Wuji say this, he knew that Yuncheng had already become a wolf's den, and he really wanted to drive the 100,000 army into it, afraid that it would not be eaten away by a little bit.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong temporarily changed his plan and made a decision, planning to hide the troops brought from the capital near Beishui City, so that he could not worry about being harmed by Beiliang and Zhang Huatian's people.
So Xiao Jingcong said to Wei Wuji: "Lord Wei, the king you said is already known, don't worry, this king will definitely not sit idly by and watch this matter, not only that, but this king will also help you get rid of Zhang Huatian to prevent future troubles!" ”
"Thank you Lord Wang, Lord Wang is wise, it is really my blessing of Daxiao!" Seeing that Xiao Jingcong agreed, Wei Wuji hurriedly kowtowed a few times and thanked him.
"Well, since that's the case, then the king will leave first, if there is any change on the side of Zhang Huatian in Yuncheng, come to the post house immediately to report to the king." After Xiao Jingcong finished speaking, he got up and glanced at Yan Zixi and Sun Li, signaling them to prepare to leave.
Wei Wuji was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Lord Xiao, what's the matter, don't you live in the mansion of the lower officials?" Although Beishui City is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Xiaguan, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be spies and assassins from Beiliang, and the post house is not safe, and Xiaguan is worried about ......"
"No need!" 18
Without waiting for Wei Wuji to finish speaking, Xiao Jingcong waved his hand directly, rejecting his kindness, "Lord Wei, don't talk about the post house, I'm afraid even your mansion is not so safe, right?" You'd better take care of your own safety, and this king won't have to worry about you. ”
After saying that, Xiao Jingcong turned around and took Yan Zixi and Sun Li out of the City Lord's Mansion together, while Wei Wuji sent them off from behind.
Wei Wuji looked at Xiao Jingcong's departing back, and really couldn't guess what this peerless general of Da Xiao was thinking about. But for now, I can only pin all my hopes on him, I hope he is not an embroidered pillow, only his name is not real......
……
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Jingcong led Yan Zixi and Sun Li to the private room of a teahouse.
The three of them drank tea while overlooking the street market of Beishui City.
In the end, it is a border town, very depressed, and the prosperity is far less than that of the capital, and there are not even many pedestrians in the market.
Xiao Jingcong was sipping tea while asking Yan Zixi and Sun Li, "Xi'er, General Sun, you all heard what Wei Wuji said, I don't know what you two think?" ”
When Yan Zixi and Sun Li heard this, they glanced at each other, and then Yan Zixi took the lead in asking, "Jing Cong, do you want to ask us if we should believe what Wei Wuji said?" ”
Xiao Jingcong nodded slightly, and responded quietly: "This Wang Guan that Wei Wuji is exaggerated, and what he said is difficult to determine whether it is true or false, I am afraid that there is another mystery in this." ”
"Well, I also think so, if it's really like Wei Wuji said, Zhang Huatian is really a fine work of Beiliang, and he has also become the city lord of Cloud City, the first person he wants to get rid of should be him Wei Wuji, how can he keep him to this day?"
"Well, what the princess said is very true, and the last general is also worried that there is fraud in this......" Sun Li said and looked at Xiao Jingcong, "Lord, in that case, why did you still agree to that Wei Wuji?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Jingcong to answer, Yan Zixi fluttered and replied first: "Naturally, you have to plan it!" ”
"Will it be calculated?! Could it be that the prince and the princess already have an idea? Sun Li looked at the general couple in front of him in surprise, it turned out that they had thought of this a long time ago......
Sun Li had known the name of Prince Xiao for a long time, and being able to be named a peerless general also showed that he was both wise and brave, but Sun Li didn't expect that even Princess Xiao would be so smart and icy, so he naturally had a little more respect for Princess Xiao.
Of course, Yan Zixi didn't know what General Sun Li was thinking at the moment, she kept frowning, and continued to ask Xiao Jingcong: "Jingcong, I don't think it's very safe for you to leave all the troops in Beishui City...... In case that Wei Wuji suddenly turned back, secretly colluded with Zhang Huatian, and caught us off guard, then we would suffer! ”
Xiao Jingcong smiled faintly, and didn't seem to care at all, "Xi'er don't worry, the reason why her husband told Wei Wuji about his plan to deploy the army in the City Lord's Mansion just now was to deliberately say what he heard...... The husband will not be stupid to leave all the army in Beishui......" Xiao Jingcong said as he took out the marching map he carried with him from his arms, spread it out on the tea table, and pointed to the towns near Beishui and said to Yan Zixi and Sun Li.
"Xi'er, General Sun, please look at ......"
