The next day, Pinghu Mansion City followed the Hou Mansion

Sui Hou Xiong Wei met the messenger sent by King Duan, and he presented Xiong Wei with a letter from Sun Tang and King Duan to prove his identity.

Xiong Wei took the two letters and read them for a long time, but didn't say whether he believed it or not, but just beat around the bush and the messenger's cliché, trying to find out Duanwang's current location and recent situation.

Before coming, the messenger had already been entrusted by King Duan, and naturally understood what Xiong Wei meant, so no matter how Xiong Wei inquired, he was vague, and shut up when he was asked, anyway, it was not transparent.

And Xiong Wei didn't get angry when he saw him doing this, but his eyes flashed thoughtfully, and he began to believe that the messenger in front of him was Duanwang's person.

Xiong Wei is not a fool, he can serve the two countries, and he can also be made a marquis, and he holds military power, which shows his scheming and clever means.

Just two letters wanted him to believe in the identity of the messenger immediately, then he Xiong Wei would not be able to live now, so after getting the letter, Xiong Wei immediately tested the messenger.

According to the other party's performance, plus those two letters, Xiong Wei was somewhat sure in his heart.

…………

He hadn't seen Sun Tang's words, but Sun Tang said two things in his letter, which were secrets known to the high-level generals in Gyeongnam.

With this alone, Xiong Wei can delineate the identity of the letter writer.

And with his understanding of the situation in Gyeongnam, Sha Qianying has no intention of moving himself for the time being, and the rest of the forces have no enmity with him, so it is indeed very likely that the person who can write the secret in the letter to prove his identity is indeed the fugitive Sun Tang.

As for Duanwang's letter, it is a coincidence that the two have exchanged official documents, Xiong Wei knows Duanwang's handwriting, and he knows the thumb-thick square seal at the end of the letter.

This is the private seal of the prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and there are only five people in the Northern Jin Dynasty who can use it, King Zhong, King Shun and the three sons of Emperor Liyang, King Jing and King Fu and now King Duan of Zaiqingnan.

The handwriting and private seal are consistent, Xiong Wei is seventy percent sure that this letter was written by King Duan himself, and after the messenger is tempted, he is even more sure of this matter.

Duanwang was forced by Sha Qianying to ask for help from himself and fled back to the capital!

Although neither the letter nor the messenger mentioned this matter, combined with the current situation, Xiong Wei easily guessed the purpose of King Duan, and his heart suddenly turned a thousand times.

…………

From the bottom of his heart, King Xiong Weiduan's request for help is still tempting.

Not exactly to take revenge on Sha Qianying, but more for his own future.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Xiong Wei's identity as a general, no matter what era it is, the two families have a bad meal.

After Xiong Wei surrendered to the Northern Jin Dynasty, although he was still quite valued by outsiders, he knew that Xiong Wei knew in his heart that the Northern Jin Dynasty court did not really trust him, and now although he has a title and some real power, it is enough to climb up.

What's more, Xiong Wei himself is not reused, and it is difficult for his juniors to get ahead.

You must know that Xiong Wei is only in his early fifties this year, he is a military general, he is physically strong, and he feels that he can last for ten or eight years, he was fine when he was there, and he finally had some power, but if he is gone, the Xiong family will be finished.

At that time, an empty marquis, in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, is worth a fart money.

Therefore, Xiong Wei is unwilling to accept the current situation, he still wants to continue to climb up, and not only climbs up himself, but also wants the rest of the Xiong family to follow suit.

And if he does this, then Xiong Wei is far from enough to just rely on tossing around in Qingnan, he needs to have a backer in the court to support.

And Duanwang is very much in line with Xiong Wei's backer candidate.

This time the noble person suffered, if he stood up and sent charcoal in the snow, he would inevitably form a rare and valuable friendship, and then the king of Duan would definitely be grateful to him.

There is a prince who opens his eyes for him in the court, and Xiong Wei's status as a general has little impact.

Even be bold, if King Duan ascends to the throne in the future, with this rescue effort, Xiong Wei can transform from a descendant to a new monarch and a minister, and ascend to the sky in one step, such a rich return, Xiong Wei can't be moved.

Of course, there are great rewards that come with high risks.

Qingnan Nan Qianying will not talk about it, if Xiong Wei really helps Duanwang return to Beijing, the two sides will be an undying mortal enemy.

And what is even more dangerous is King Jing, who helped King Duan get out of danger, that is, Ming Qi stood on King Duan's side.

Duanwang won, and everyone was happy.

But if King Duan loses in this succession, he will not be able to escape King Jing's liquidation by "King Duan's rebellion" at this critical moment.

…………

Xiong Wei had some concerns, and after talking to the messenger for a while, he offered to think about it overnight and give him an answer tomorrow.

In order to prevent the messenger from being too careful, Xiong Wei also specially handed over some truths, and whether he agreed or not, he said that he would never betray the news to Sha Qianying.

What Xiong Wei didn't expect was that the messenger reacted to him very calmly, and even took the initiative to comfort Xiong Wei, saying that he believed in him as a person, and even if he betrayed himself, it didn't matter, anyway, Sha Qianying would not get any information from his mouth.

Seeing the messenger say those words calmly and confidently, Xiong Wei couldn't help but glance at the other party again.

At the same time, he also has some intentions for King Duan, and if he can get such a loyal person to swear allegiance to the death, he must have something extraordinary.

At this time, Xiong Wei didn't know that the messenger was actually Yan Kui's person, otherwise this evaluation would have been replaced............

That night, Xiong Wei found a few trusted henchmen and seriously discussed the matter, and in the end most people felt that this was a good opportunity and it was worth gambling.

If the bet wins, Xiong Wei and the Xiong family will not live in a corner of Qingnan, but walk on the big stage of the entire Northern Jin Dynasty, and this attractive benefit is enough for them to ignore the risks brought by this matter.

So, after Xiong Wei saw the messenger again the next day, he promised to help King Duan return to Beijing.

However, Xiong Wei is also a lord who does not see rabbits and eagles, and he proposed to meet King Duan on the grounds that this matter has a huge stake.

In fact, Xiong Wei did this to finalize the identity of Duanwang, and to ask Duanwang for credit, showing his efforts in this matter.

The messenger agreed to Xiong Wei's request.

However, Xiong Wei himself had a military position and was eye-catching, so it was inconvenient for him to go out in person, so he sent his son-in-law Pi Xian Shang and a messenger to meet King Duan.

Xiong Wei only has a daughter and a son, and his son is an old man, now less than fifteen years old, still young, and can't take care of things, to a certain extent, Pi Xian Shang, the son-in-law, is the most suitable person to represent Xiong Wei to meet King Duan.

At the same time, Pi Xian Shang himself is Xiong Wei's important strategist, with outstanding wisdom and alertness, and he came forward to contact Duanwang, and Xiong Wei was not afraid that he would be overshadowed.

The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the messenger and Pi Xian Shang left the city, and then after some twists and turns, the messenger made sure that there was no tail behind him, and then took Pi Xian Shang to Banyun Village, where King Duan was hiding.
