Dai Pohu stared at Xu Ji tightly, hoping to see a trace of anger and concern, but the result disappointed him.

Xu Ji actually smiled, "Jiangdong Seven Clans...... It's really worry-free. ”

"They will not give in to anyone except King Wu."

"Jizhou and Qinzhou are separated by mountains and rivers, and it takes time to come and go, if the Wu people really have different intentions, on the way to General Dai, they are afraid that they have already started, and success or failure has been divided, but the news has not yet come, and it is useless for me to rush there."

"But ......"

"Who is General Dai here for? Presumably not the Golden Saintess. ”

"The Golden Holy Maiden can't start from the beginning, she has the heart to remarry, of course I'm not here for her." Dai Pohu saw that Xu Ji was indifferent, and said directly: "The Wu people mutiny, it will be successful, but the number is too small to suppress the world army, and it has to be King Wu himself to go to appease the whole army and save the Wu people at the same time." ”

"The Golden Holy Maiden is my wife, if I am here, I will never allow the Seven Clans to mutiny, and now I am far away from right and wrong, let alone help them pacify the Descending Army."

Dai Pohu kowtowed on the seat, "Even if King Wu doesn't remember the loyalty of the Seven Clans, he should also remember the thousands of Wu soldiers who were burned to death in the officer and soldier camp. ”

Xu Ji's expression darkened.

Dai Pohu pressed his hands on the table, also known as "King Wu", and continued: "King Wu wants to live in seclusion, Yecheng is not a safe place, it is rumored that the three states of Hebei, and Huai are forming a coalition army, to pacify the rebel army of Qin and Han states, if it wins, then King Wu is useless, if it is defeated, he will be ashamed and will take King Wu to ask for guilt." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "I was impressed when I didn't see him for three days, and General Dai's eloquence surprised me. ”

Dai Pohu laughed twice, "Actually, these are General Wang's words, I'll just relay it, if General Wang is not injured, he will come to see King Wu in person." ”

Xu Ji thought for a while, "General Dai will go to the bar first, and tomorrow morning, I will give you the final answer." ”

"The Wu people only recognize the king of Wu, and the same is true of the Jingzhou generals, and it is not my wish to follow the golden saint."

"What did she do to make you unhappy?"

"Remarrying ......"

"Except for remarriage."

Xu Ji did not believe that an inconclusive remarriage was enough to make the seven clans of the Wu people decide to launch a mutiny.

Dai Pohu knew that he couldn't hide it, and sighed, "It's okay for the Golden Holy Maiden to rely on the World Army, after all, those people are her father's old department, and there are many powerful people, but she also promoted a large number of officers and soldiers, entrusted them with important tasks, and even handed over Jing and Wu soldiers to their commanders." ”

"I thought that the soldiers of Luozhou were all left in the Eastern Capital."

"Most of them stayed in the Eastern Capital, and there were five or six hundred people who chose to follow the Golden Holy Maiden, and most of them were former generals. I don't know what they think, it is estimated that the golden saintess promised a heavy bribe, and they were moved. In short, these people are now the henchmen of the Golden Holy Maiden, all of them hold important positions, the Wu people are excluded, and the Qin people are also dissatisfied, but they dare not resist. ”

"General Dai wants an answer, and he needs to wait for tomorrow."

Dai Pohu had no choice but to kowtow, then got up and retreated, and added at the door: "I miss King Wu all the time, if King Wu can't bear to sit idly by, we ...... Alas, they all had to be buried in a foreign land. ”

Xu Ji refused to accept this sentence.

The old servant brought in clean water for washing, Xu Ji silently washed his face and feet, and when the old servant was about to leave with water, he asked, "The guest wants to invite the son out of the mountain?" ”

"Well, what do you think?"

"Me? Hehe, I'm just an old and immortal servant, I have to be taken care of by my son, do some light work of serving tea and water, and don't know anything else. ”

"If you have something in your heart, say it, and you don't have to hide it in front of me."

The old servant laughed dryly, if he really didn't want to care about this gossip, he wouldn't ask at all, "Childe asked me to say, I'll just say, it's a lot of mouth, Childe just listen to it, don't take it seriously." I think it's best to be down-to-earth, live and eat here, although it is remote, but we have a large population, but it is also lively, why bother to go outside the mixed water? It's done, and it's still a 'King of Wu', but if it doesn't work, it's gone, and even the idle days in hand are gone. ”

"Listen to you, it's easier." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"I'm talking nonsense, people are old, they haven't read, they're short-sighted, and in the end, it's the son who has to make up his mind. In short, no matter where Childe goes, I will definitely follow, even if I can't walk, Childe doesn't have to care about me, Childe is in front, tell me a place to go, and I'll follow slowly. ”

Xu Ji nodded, and the old servant said goodbye and left.

Xu Ji got up and walked out of the house, seeing that Chang Yanzhi and the others were still drinking, he turned around and entered the next room.

This room was specially left by the old servant, and there was a bed and a cabinet in it, which was specially used to store the master's belongings.

Xu Ji didn't light the lamp, touched the side of the cabinet, and turned out the waist knife at the bottom.

I haven't touched the knife for too long, and the holding in my hand is heavier than in my memory, Xu Ji slowly pulled out half of the knife, the room was very dark, he could only vaguely see a little glimmer of the knife, but he could still clearly feel the sharpness of the knife.

Xu Ji put the knife into the sheath and took it back to the original room, where the lamp was lit, so that he could appreciate it carefully.

There was actually a person in the room, looking left and right at the mat, obviously looking for Xu Ji's traces.

Xu Ji coughed, the man turned around sharply, his face changed slightly, and when he saw the knife in Xu Ji's hand, his face changed again, and he immediately returned to normal, and knelt down directly, "Villain Wang Pei, knock on King Wu." ”

Wang Pei is a son of the seven clans of the Wu people, who used to be a guard, and came with Dai Pohu this time.

Xu Ji smiled, "Get up." Why didn't you drink over there? ”

Wang Pei got up, "I'...... I have something to say to King Wu. ”

"Don't call me King Wu anymore, it's enough to call me 'Xu Gongzi'."

"A king for a day, a king for life."

"This is Yecheng, you have a king of Wu, are you going to put me to death?"

"Of course not, we ...... Xu Gongzi forgives his sins. ”

Xu Ji took off his shoes and sat on the table, still holding a knife in his hand, "Close the door." ”

Wang Pei obeyed, closed the door and turned around, and knelt down again.

Xu Ji said: "No courtesy, do you have something to say to me?" ”

"Yes, General Wang ordered me to give it to ...... privately Xu Gongzi brought a few words. ”

"Say it."

Wang Pei took a few steps forward and stood at the edge of the table, "General Wang said, King Wu...... Xu Gongzi is like Wu people's parents, without Xu Gongzi, Wu people are scattered sand, everyone is looking forward to it, like a baby waiting to be fed, I hope that Xu Gongzi can go to Qinzhou, at least to help Wu people tide over this difficulty. ”

"Well, General Dai has already said it, you also go to the bar, tomorrow morning, I will give you the answer."

"Xu Gongzi ......"

"That's all I have to say, I don't need to say more."

Wang Pei sighed lightly, "Since that's the case......"

There was a knock on the door outside, followed by uninvited entry.

Chang Yanzhi held a glass of wine in his hand, staggered, quite drunk, and said with a smile: "I knew that you sneaked out to see Xu Gongzi, did you finish speaking?" After that, come with me, you can't escape this glass of wine. ”

Chang Yanzhi was rude, Wang Pei was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It's over, it's just a glass of wine, will I escape?" ”

The two of them went out of the house one after the other, Chang Yanzhi closed the door outside, and said to Xu Ji: "Son, rest early, don't worry about us, the task of getting drunk guests will be left to me." ”

Xu Ji smiled and nodded.

He was the only one left in the room, Xu Ji pulled out the knife, and watched carefully, he has never been a good hand at using a knife, and he didn't like weapons to the point of liking, so he found it out, just to re-experience the feeling of being a king.

The feeling is still there, like the top of a mountain, the cold wind blows, and the abyss is under your feet, which is both exciting and frightening.

Xu Ji put the knife into the sheath, fell on the seat, held the knife in both hands, and slowly fell asleep, letting the candle go out by itself.

Early the next morning, Xu Ji woke up suddenly, and there was a lot of noise outside, as if last night's banquet had not ended, but the sky was indeed bright.

Xu Ji got up and found that there was an extra quilt on his body, and he knew that the old servant had come in the middle of the night.

Outside the house, Chang Yanzhi and Wang Pei were wrestling, and the noise was made by onlookers.

The two of them are both children of the seven clans in Jiangdong, and they are very familiar with each other, and when they drank last night, they talked about who had more strength, and they were not convinced by each other, so they made an appointment to compete in the morning.

Chang Yanzhi has been slacking off for more than a month, and his skills have indeed weakened a lot, relying on his body to become stronger, and he and Wang Pei are maneuvering, and no one can defeat the other party for a while.

Dai Pohu leaned over and said in a low voice, "Xu Gongzi has thought about it?" ”

Xu Ji sent the knife in his hand over.

Dai Pohu was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to answer, "What does this mean?" ”

"Take my knife back and tell the Wu people that you need to rely on yourself in the end. And I have a hunch that when General Dai returns, he will find that everything is fine, and he doesn't need me to go there. ”

Dai Pohu hurriedly said: "Wu Bing is on the string, he has to send it, maybe it has already been issued, there is no reason to give up halfway." ”

"Maybe it's not that the Wu people gave up halfway, but that the Golden Saintess has her own plan to appease the army." Xu Ji smiled and stuffed the knife into Dai Pohu's hand.

Dai Pohu had no choice but to accept it, and said reluctantly: "Okay, since that's the case, I can't force it, if I can bring the knife back, it can be regarded as an explanation, but I don't know if it's too late." ”

"General Dai is in a hurry, so I won't be far away."

Dai Pohu glanced at the valley, "The world is in turmoil, there is no place for long-term peace, the heroine of Yecheng is in power, and sooner or later it will attract military disasters, who can protect Xu Gongzi at that time?" ”

"The Seven Clans have to rely on themselves, and I have to protect myself."

Dai Pohu sighed, said goodbye, walked to the crowd, and shouted to the two who were wrestling: "General Chang, let Wang Pei go, we are leaving, so we will leave." ”

Chang Yanzhi let go of his hand and said breathlessly: "It's only been a day, and I haven't talked enough, why do you have to leave?" And we're dead......"

Wang Pei was also out of breath, "General Dai, you take the first step, and after my side divides the winner, I will chase you." ”

Wang Pei is from Wu, and Dai Pohu is not good at giving orders directly, so he calls another subordinate, and the two of them go out of the valley.

Chang Yanzhi was really a little tired, and asked to compare it later, he wanted to drink water and rest for a while, walked in front of Xu Ji, and whispered: "Wang Pei doesn't want to go back to Qinzhou to lick blood again, can he stay?" ”

Xu Ji nodded with a smile and looked left and right, "What about Tian Zhuangshi?" ”

"It's long gone, he's always been elusive. Does Childe want to see him? The next time we meet, I'll tell him. ”

"No, I'm just asking."

"Then I'll leave Wang Pei, this kid, he has a lot of strength, it's okay to stay, but I have to give him a dismount first."

Xu Ji looked at Wang Pei, who was drinking water in the distance, hoping that his guess was all wrong.
