Xi Xun stood on the fishing platform in the middle of Xi's family pool, looked at the tomb of Xi Yu on the side of the pool, and said nothing.

Xi Zhu hurried over, looked at Xi Xun's gaze, and immediately understood Xi Xun's thoughts. The Xi family has developed since the beginning of the ancestor Xi Yu, and it was his decision to follow the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu that created the prosperity of the Xi family for more than 100 years. Now that the Xi family has reached a critical juncture of life and death, as the head of the family, Xi Xun does not dare to be careless.

"How?" Xi Xun withdrew his gaze, folded his hands in his sleeves, and walked slowly along the long stone corridor.

Xi Zhu followed closely and told him what happened to Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, and finally said: "Brother, I have already met Sun Jian, and he is willing to negotiate. ”

Xi Xun snorted, noncommittal. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "In this way, Kuai Yue is determined to make a bet." More than 300 lives, he can also ignore them, and he is really hard-hearted. It is said that Sun Jian is ruthless, and I think he is more ruthless than Sun Jian. ”

Xi Zhu nodded. "Brother, Sun Jian is just brute, Kuai Yue is really ruthless. However, in terms of vision and insight, Kuai Yue is ten times higher than Sun Jian. Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both surnamed Yuan, their knowledge and bearing are not compatible. At the beginning, Sun Jian was attached to Yuan Shu, and when the war was imminent, Yuan Shu cut off Sun Jian's military rations, which shows his short-sightedness. The Yuan brothers competed, Yuan Shu was undoubtedly defeated, although Sun Jian was good at fighting, after all, he was a husband and it was difficult to support him alone. ”

"I understand this truth, but how to solve the current dilemma?" Xi Xun turned around and looked at Xi Zhu. "Sun Jian is good at killing, if he finds out that we are in harmony with Kuai Yueli, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Yuan Shao to come to the rescue."

"Kuai Yue didn't ask us to cooperate with him, but just hoped that we would delay Sun Jian's siege. Once the war in Nanyang broke out, Yuan Shu would soon send Sun Jian back to help. At that time, Xiangyang will still be Liu Biao's Xiangyang, Kuaiyue's Xiangyang. Sun Jian can go, but we can't. If we sit back and watch Sun Jian kill Kuai Yue's family, Kuai Yue will definitely take revenge on us. ”

Xi Xun raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. "They are all ruthless people, and we can't afford to mess with any of them. Wen Hui, Liu Biao entered Xiangyang, we are one step slower, this time we can't be wrong. The foundation of the Xi family for more than 100 years cannot be destroyed in our hands like this. ”

"Brother has a point. The dispute in Xiangyang seems to be the dispute between Liu Biao and Sun Jian, but it is actually the dispute between the Yuan brothers. Sun Jian's father and son came from humble backgrounds, had no benevolence and righteousness, and were capable of fraud and threats. If they win, not only our Xi family, but the entire Jingzhou will face a disaster. ”

Xi let out a long sigh. "Okay, you go to Huihu and talk to Yang Jie. As for the Cai family......" he hesitated for a moment. "You don't have to. Kuai Yue and Cai Mao have become fire and water, and the Cai family and the Sun family are too close to each other to be able to pick them up. ”

"What about the Pang family?"

Pang Shanmin is serving next to Sun Jian, it is impossible not to know Kuai Yue's intentions. If he wants to, he will naturally come to you. If he didn't come, he would naturally follow Sun Jian wholeheartedly. Xi shook his head. Pang Degong was robbed by a martial artist, and he was not guaranteed at night, and his position as the leader of Xiangyang Shilin was about to be given up. ”

"Whoa."

——

The lights flickered, illuminating Cai Yan's face uncertainly.

Huang Chengyan hurriedly walked in, and was taken aback when he saw that Cai Yan's expression was wrong. Without waiting for him to speak, Cai Yan smiled bitterly: "Kuai Liang is dead." ”

Huang Chengyan was stunned for a long time, and the corners of his eyes twitched. "So, there's no chance of mitigation?"

"This rebel." Cai Yan shook his wrist in frustration. "The brainless thing was actually used by a teenager, how could he not drown in the water. Alas, what kind of sin did I create to give birth to such a stupid thing. He scolded twice, and suddenly remembered that Huang Chengyan was now Sun Ce's staff, and hurriedly said: "Chengyan, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Deju's erector and Ake." ”

Huang Chengyan smiled, walked to the desk and sat down, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Cai Wei.

"Don't be impatient. The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to seek peace with each other, so it is better to find a way to prevent Sun Jian from killing Kuai Yue's family. If they die, Deju's wife and children will not escape. ”

Cai Wei nodded, calming down a bit. Huang Chengyan has a quick response and clear thinking, which is by no means comparable to Cai Mao. He has always valued this son-in-law, and Huang Chengyan took the initiative to attach himself to Sun Ce, which surprised him, but also gave him a glimmer of hope - maybe it is not a bad thing to be attached to the Sun family's father and son.

"How can I save it?"

"I don't know yet, but I believe that Pang Shanmin will not let Sun Jian kill the Kuai family easily." Huang Chengyan pondered for a moment and shook his head affirmatively. "Neither will Sun Bofu. Ah Ke humiliated Kuai Qi, De Jue killed Kuai Liang by the hand of Yuan Shu, the feud between Cai Kuai and the two families could not be resolved, Kuai Yue refused to surrender, killing the old and young of the Kuai family would only leave a bad reputation, and it would not help. He wouldn't do such a thing. ”

Cai Wei stared at Huang Chengyan, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or comforting him. But he could hear that Huang Chengyan was very confident in Sun Ce.

"Chengyan, Yuan Shu is not a measured person, Sun Jian won Xiangyang, will he be jealous and hateful to Sun Jian?"

Huang Chengyan smiled. "Yes, and it will."

Cai Yan's face immediately changed. Huang Chengyan waved his hand and helped Cai Yan to sit down on the seat. "Because of this, we must firmly support the Sun family father and son, but we can't have anything to do with Yuan Shu. Sun Jian is the most warlike general under Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu can't tolerate it, who else can he tolerate, and what else can he do? For this alone, he is not as far as Yuan Shao. ”

Cai Yan's face not only did not improve, but became even more ugly.

"Then what's the point of us supporting the Sun family's father and son? Can they alone achieve great things? ”

Huang Chengyan's eyes flickered. "I don't dare to say that I can, but I think at least the chance is greater than that of the Yuan brothers."

"Yuan's ...... Brothers? Cai Wei smacked for a moment and realized the meaning of Huang Chengyan's words. Are you saying that the Sun family's father and son are not only stronger than Yuan Shu, but also stronger than Yuan Shao? ”

"It's not the Sun family's father and son, it's Sun Bofu."

Cai Yan stared at Huang Chengyan and didn't speak for a long time, he originally wanted to say that Huang Chengyan was talking nonsense, but looking at Huang Chengyan's face, he swallowed this sentence back. He knows very well that Huang Chengyan is not the kind of person who talks about it, and he is so sure that he naturally has his reasons.

"Seihiko, why?"

"Because he knows the times." Huang Chengyan said unhurriedly: "And there are means." He moved forward, put his hand on Cai Wei's cold hand, and patted it gently. Zhangren, the world will be chaotic, the sage's article can't be exchanged for peace, morality and righteousness can't protect us, those who know the times are Junjie, we are not Junjie, but we can choose Junjie. Sun Bofu is such a handsome man. Now he is lonely, fledgling, it is a good opportunity for us, and when he is strong, how can he be attached when he needs our support the most? ”

Cai Yan stared at Huang Chengyan for a long time, and held Huang Chengyan with his backhand. "Cheng Yan, the safety of the Cai family's nearly 1,000 people is entrusted to you."
