Chapter 619: The time has come

The atmosphere at the banquet was still a little cold, so much so that there seemed to be nothing to say other than drinking. Chi Haonian finally found a way to lead the topic to the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, Fang Xie first scolded angrily, then lamented, and then there was no follow-up.

He and Zhong Xin glanced at each other, and Zhong Xin immediately put down his wine glass and sighed: "I thought that my Great Sui country was strong and the people were rich, and I thought that it could last for ten thousand years and be immortal, but who would have thought that a Li Yuanshan would pry the foundation of the Great Sui, followed by people with wolf ambitions everywhere trying to seize the artifact...... How can people's hearts deteriorate so quickly? ”

This is too hypocritical, but it is also to lead to the following.

"I think that when the Nanyan clown Murong shamed himself as Emperor Sun, in addition to paying tribute every year, he also had to face the north on the birthday of the first emperor, who would have thought that the first emperor would keep his life but it was better to raise a dog, it is said that after he colluded with the Su people to invade southern Xinjiang, he burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil. In Qiao County alone, more than 100,000 people were killed, fertile land was destroyed, and houses were burned, which was unbearable......

"yes......"

Chi Haonian took the words and sighed: "I wrote a joint letter to the imperial army generals stationed in Jiangnan with Lord Luo Qiuluo, the governor of Pingshangdao, and asked them to quickly bring troops to southern Xinjiang to fight against thieves, but those few people ate the imperial court and did nothing, and their mouths of benevolence and morality were as timid as mice!" Now Luo Qiu alone organized the people to fight against the thieves in Pingshang Road, but it was difficult. Although we have the heart to help, we don't have any soldiers in our hands, so even if we do our best, we don't just raise too much money and food. ”

"Alas!"

Zhong Xin sighed heavily: "Although I am the governor of Beihui Province, and the affairs of Pingshang Road are thousands of miles away from me, I am the same as Lord Luo and Lord Luo are guarding one side of the imperial court, and I feel the pressure on Lord Luo's shoulders now." But the people suffered, but I can't do anything! ”

He stomped his foot, looking sad.

Fang Xie didn't say anything, just hung his head as if he was distracted. Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin glanced at each other, knowing that it was time to find out.

He was just about to open his mouth, but Wu Yiyi picked up his wine glass and said, "It's rare for the two adults to have time to go out for a walk, and we won't talk about state affairs when we get together today." Although the rebellion in southern Xinjiang is worrying, it is still necessary to have fun today. I'll give you two a drink, let's just talk about the old days today. ”

Chi Haonian opened his mouth, and what he wanted to say was blocked back by Wu Yiyi.

The two of them raised their glasses and took a sip, and the scene fell into embarrassment again.

"Actually...... In fact, you can't blame all those soldiers and generals in Jiangnan, they don't send troops and there is a reason why they don't send troops......"

Chi Haonian was silent for a while and then changed directions: "Jiangnan is also in chaos, and they naturally don't dare to send troops indiscriminately without the emperor's order." Although Luo Qiu and I discussed that we were willing to gather the food and grass needed for the army, they still did not want to come to the southwest...... Alas...... It's a pity, if the old man has soldiers in his hands, even if I have no power to restrain the chicken, I will carry a knife and go into battle to kill the enemy for the country! ”

Zhong Xin said: "Presumably, Brother Lixian and Lord Luo are also willing to make up a lot of money and food for the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang, right?" ”

"Naturally!"

Chi Haonian saw that Zhong Xin was very cooperative in leading the topic here, and he immediately said solemnly: "For the sake of the peace of the country, I will expel the thieves and suppress my southern Xinjiang, even if I go bankrupt." If someone is willing to send troops to southern Xinjiang to kill thieves for the country at this time, I dare to say on behalf of many wealthy families in Yongbei Province that there is no problem in making up 300,000 stone grain and grass in a short period of time, and one million silver. Coupled with the materials raised by Lord Luo of Pingshang Dao, it is enough for a large army! ”

"So be it"

Zhong Xin immediately said: "If Brother Lixian invites rescuers, I am also willing to contribute to the pacification of southern Xinjiang as soon as possible." If the reinforcements invited by Brother Lixian are going to pass through my Beihui Road, I will order all the checkpoints to be released, and the supplies required all the way will be sent by my Beihui Road! ”

"Wise and noble!"

Chi Haonian hugged his fists and said excitedly: "I thank you on behalf of Lord Luo!" ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, and almost said the price they were willing to pay. Wu Yi glanced at Fang Jie, but found that Fang Xie seemed to be drunk, and although he was still sitting there, he was already staggering. Wu Yiyi naturally understood the amount of alcohol he had drunk, so he smiled in his heart.

"The two adults are so righteous, if Your Majesty learns about it, it will be very gratifying."

Wu Yiyi served wine for Chi Haonian and Zhong Xinman, and after revealing the topic, he began to talk about some side things. Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin knew what Wu Yiyi meant, and then looked at Fang Xie pretending to be confused and didn't say a word, obviously thinking that the price just now was not enough. Both of them were a little displeased, but it was the two of them who took the initiative to come to the door, and it was not Fang Xie who took the initiative to propose, so they could only endure it.

From the very beginning, the conversation between the two sides deliberately avoided the name Luo Yao. Chi Haonian scolded the anti-thief and didn't say a word to Luo Yao. They all knew that Fang Xie and Luo Yao had some inexplicable relationship, so they simply didn't mention it for fear of how Fang Xie would react when he mentioned that name.

Now the identities they use to talk are all officials of the Great Sui. Although Luo Yao's rebellion was inseparable from several governors of the Southwest Four Provinces, they did not follow Luo Yao to raise troops, and Fang Xie and Wu would not be stupid enough to break through this layer.

Zhong Xin and Chi Haonian knew that Fang Xie and Wu Yiyi had already understood the meaning of their words, and they had already ordered it so thoroughly that they only had to explain it directly, but Fang Xie was still pretending to be drunk, and Wu Yiyi only said some side words, and they were not sure whether Fang Xie was not interested in going to Southern Xinjiang or felt that the chips were not enough.

Chi Haonian was silent for a while and said: "Before I came, I had met Lord Luo, the governor of Pingshang Road, and knew that I was going to run for the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, so Lord Luo specially explained ......."

Chi Haonian glanced at Fang Jie, and then said slowly: "As we all know, the imperial city of Yongzhou City was originally designated as the Southwest Palace by Emperor Taizong, and there were enough weapons and armor in the palace to equip 200,000 troops, and others thought that these things were gone, but Lord Luo told me that the things in the Yongzhou Palace were still there. In order to resist the thieves, Lord Luo plans to take out the weapons and armor in the palace......"

Wu Yi was stunned, he also glanced at Fang Xie and smiled: "My lord, this is a joke, if there are so many weapons and armor in the Yongzhou Palace, can they still be kept?" Ha ha...... Adults really tell jokes. ”

"There really is!"

Chi Haonian said solemnly: "Although I don't know why I am still there and have not been taken away, those things are indeed still there...... If Sanjin Hou doesn't believe it, he can first send someone to Yongzhou to meet Lord Luo, and let Lord Luo open the warehouse of Yongzhou Palace to take a look. ”

Wu Yi smiled: "What did I send someone to see, I didn't have the ability to solve the crisis in Yongzhou even if I sent someone to see it......"

……

……

At the end of the banquet, Fang Jie's drunken person was unconscious, and he was helped to leave the meeting hall and go back to rest, which cannot be said to be a faux pas, but can only be said to be too enthusiastic. I thought I could talk things about it between the banquets, but Fang Xie was drunk like this, and naturally there was no way to say anything.

Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin glanced at each other, and then they were both drunk.

Since the guests are drunk, it is natural to arrange to stay. The only one who was not drunk was Sanjin Hou Wu asked people to sort out two clean houses, and sent people to carry the two feudal officials into the room to rest. Of course, although two rooms were prepared, two people were sent to one room.

You have to give people a chance to discuss things, don't you?

In fact, everyone knew that Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin knew that Fang Xie was definitely not drunk, and Fang Xie naturally knew that the two of them were not drunk. Fang Xie was drunk because those two people hadn't talked about the bottom line yet, so Fang Xie had to stop listening to them when he was drunk, and give them time to think about it again. And the other two were drunk because they didn't achieve their goal and definitely couldn't leave. Wu Yiyi, who was not drunk, was actually the one who drank the most.

After settling down Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin, Wu Yiyi went to Fang Jie's room, and met Sang Sasa who was sitting on the railing in a daze on the way, Wu Yiyi nodded politely.

"Fang Xie is drunk?"

Sang Sassa asked.

Wu Yiyi was always a little wary of this woman, so he nodded and said drunk. Sang Sassa hummed and stopped talking, sitting on the railing and shaking his legs and looking at the sky. Wu Yiyi didn't understand what she meant by asking, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see her continue to speak, so he had to leave. It's just that he always felt that there was something weird, but he didn't find out where the weirdness came from because he was too heavy.

After walking out a few steps, Wu Yiyi suddenly turned around, and then saw that what he thought was strange was on the railing where Sang Sasa was sitting, and there were countless ants neatly arranged on both sides of Sang Sasa, looking like the soldiers who had lined up the whole army at a glance, loyally guarding their main general.

Such strange things always happen around Sang Sasa, and more than one person in the camp has seen it. For example, when she stood on the school grounds, there were birds hovering in the sky. She walked outside the camp, and the wild wolves who had been beaten by the soldiers and hid in the mountains would run out and circle her.

Many people say that she is a fairy, while others say that she is a witch.

Wu Yiyi shook his head, turned around and strode towards Fang Jie's room.

In the distance of the school field, the white lion is a little bored basking in the sun, and the recent days have been too leisurely and comfortable, and the white lion who has nothing to do is lying on the school field all day long to enjoy the massage of the sun. From time to time, it glanced up at the woman sitting on the high railing, and then shook its head with a confused expression.

When Wu Yi arrived at Fang Xie and Fang Jie, Fang Xie was washing his face, and when he saw Wu Yi coming in, Fang Xie smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence, someone took the initiative to send money and grain when we discussed the matter of going south, it seems that the situation of Pingshang Road has been rotten to a certain extent, otherwise Chi Haonian would not have come all the way from Yongbei Road." ”

"Things are good......

Wu Yi sat down on the chair and poured himself a cup of herbal tea to relieve his hangover: "But I always feel a little unsteady, although there are no soldiers in the four southwestern provinces, and the Su people and the Southern Yan army are also fierce, but they will not give up such great interests to beg you...... From the beginning of my business, I have learned that there is no such thing as a risk-free benefit. ”

"Then let's think about ......"

Fang Xie found a new pipe, took it out, stuffed it with cigarettes, and lit it: "Think about what purpose they have besides using my Black Flag Army to fight against the Southern Barbarians?" ”

He sat there with his brow furrowed slightly, swallowing the clouds.

Suzaku Mountain Dazhai Heavy Camp

The big dog leaned against a pile of grain and grass and lazily basked in the sun, holding a hairy grass in his mouth and humming an unknown tune. At this moment, two soldiers led a man over, and greeted him from a long distance: "General, this person said that he was your fellow countryman and had something important to look for you." ”

The big dog opened his eyes and looked over there, and found that the person who came did not know him, or even had never seen it. His identity is special, and he has been hiding it from beginning to end, so it is impossible for any fellow villagers to find him. But I don't know why, when the big dog saw this person, he suddenly thought of a person.

This man hurriedly came over and saluted respectfully, and then looked at the two soldiers who had walked away, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to the big dog: "This is the sect leader who asked me to hand it over to you with my own hands, and he also specially instructed that you will burn it after you read it." ”

The big dog knew who had sent this person, so his heart tightened.

He opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and looked at it, and the first sentence sent a chill down the dog's back. He subconsciously looked left and right, feeling that his heart almost stopped beating at this moment.

Brother, the time has come.
