Chapter 193: A dilemma

Xue Jinyan was not used to the intimate actions made by King Wu, especially in front of everyone, so he wanted to withdraw his hands forcefully, but he didn't break free.

Xue Jinyan believed that her strength was greater than that of her husband, but for some reason, she just couldn't use her strength, and her face was slightly red.

Xu Ji held it tighter and smiled, "I'll accompany you to worship." ”

"No, you've already worshipped." Xue Jinyan was confused in his heart, and his tone was still very cold and hard.

"We are husband and wife, and the incarnation king is my father-in-law, and I can worship again. I'll send someone to call the eunuch back......"

"I don't need to." Xue Jinyan finally withdrew his hands and strode towards the throne, while Xu Ji quickly followed.

The other four kings stood at the door of the main hall, their expressions were already tense, they glanced at Xue Jinyao, and then looked outside the hall, their guards were all under the Danqi, even if they could hear their shouts, they didn't have time to rush up.

Xue Jin shook away, the four kings breathed a sigh of relief, Ma Wei was the most uneasy in his heart, as soon as he was free, he immediately walked outside the hall, and after a few steps, seeing that the others were not moving, he had to stop, so as not to appear too timid.

Xue Jin shook the mage and came to the throne, but he didn't look at it, and asked directly, "Where did the incarnation king ascend to heaven?" ”

Xu Ji remembered the approximate location and stretched out his finger.

Xue Jinyan came to the place where her father was killed, and bent down to look at it for a while, there was no trace of it for her to hang on.

Xue Jin shook his head and said to the mages: "The incarnation king goes to the inner courtyard of Tushi Palace, I want to chant and worship for him, you help me." ”

Xue Jin shook without kneeling, clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows, and softly recited "The Buddha Says Maitreya Comes to the Sutra"

"The Buddha said: When Maitreya Buddha wants to come out. The mountains, trees, and plants in the interior of Yan Fuli are all scorched...... There are five kinds of fruits in the land, there are no mountains and valleys in the four seas, the land is as flat as a stone, and the trees are growing. ”

Tiancheng Dynasty Zhang's good Buddha, up and down, most of the noble men have studied a few scriptures, Xu Ji happened to have read this scripture, remember the general content, so he read it, Xue Jin shook his look, slightly surprised, "When it is, the people are less greedy, angry, stupid, there are many people, settlements and homes, the rooster song exhibition turns to hear, the people live 84,000 years old, the woman is 500 years old, and the people are not sick." There are three diseases in the world: first, they want to gain; both, hunger and thirst; Three, old age. ”

Gan Zhao also came over at some point and recited the last paragraph: "When Maitreya Buddha spoke on the first day, 9.6 billion people had attained the path of arhats. In the second session, there were 9.4 billion bhikshus who were arhats. The third will speak the scriptures, 9.2 billion shamen, all of them are arhats. ”

"There is no Maitreya Buddha in the south." Everyone said in unison, and Xue Jinyan read it three more times.

Xu Ji held her hand again, "The incarnation king got what he wanted, and Miss Jin Shao didn't have to be sad." ”

Xue Jin didn't squeak, with a little force, he didn't withdraw his hand, so he had to follow him.

Gan Zhao bowed his hand to the two of them and said with a smile: "I'll wait for King Wu to make a plan, and I'll be there with the move." ”

"I'll send it as soon as possible." Xu Ji did not give up.

At the door of the main hall, Shen Tan bowed his hand from afar, and was the first to walk out, Ma Wei followed, Gan Zhao followed quickly, Ning Baoguan stayed alone, and walked in front of King Wu and his wife, just looking, not speaking.

Master Xu Zhuzhong said, "You guys should retreat first." ”

After receiving Xue Jinyao's signal, the mages lined up and walked out of the main hall.

Ning Baoguan said: "It's right to endure it, everyone hides their blades, and so do I." ”

Xue Jinyao lacked experience, and told the truth when he was deceived by the other party, "So what? I can deal with you alone...... Four. ”

Xue Jinyao finally excluded her husband.

The corners of Ning Baoguan's mouth moved slightly, "I also thought that I could defeat a hundred with one enemy." Jin Shengnu wants to open some, listening to King Wu's words, she is really depressed, you can go to Niu Tiannu to chat. ”

"No need, I have my own ideas, you are all responsible for the death of the incarnation king, I won't do it for the time being......" Xue Jin shook his right hand that was being held, and he really couldn't move it, "I will do it in the future." King Liang is the first, and King Ning is the second. ”

"Why am I the second?"

"Because you have seen something different, you abandoned your bad wife and wanted to marry the queen mother."

Ning hugged Guan laughed, turned around and left.

"How long are you going to hold it?" Xue Jinyan asked.

Xu Ji let go of his hand and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Jin Shao." ”

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for your forbearance today."

Xue Jin's face became more and more confused, "Why are you two-faced?" ”

"Huh?"

"You don't want to kill the kings?"

Xu Ji pondered for a moment, "I think, but not now, I haven't grasped the ability to subdue the army of the kings, and if I do it at this time, it will be in vain, but it will give the officers and soldiers of Yecheng an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

Xue Jinyan's expression became more and more confused, "In that case, why did you let General Meng find me?" ”

"He looked for you?"

"He said that you gave me a chance to take revenge, and also said that the incarnation king would not stop me and the mage, the second half of the sentence is right, but the first half of the sentence is a lie, but I don't know who is lying between you and General Meng."

"No one is lying, General Meng misunderstood me. I said, I do, but not now......"

"Hey, admit you're cowardly." Xue Jin shook his stride and left.

There was only one person left in the hall, he stood for a while, turned his head to look at the throne, suddenly wanted to go up and sit for a while, changed his mind without waiting for a step, strode out of the hall, called the guards, and returned to the camp of the Four Kings' Mansion.

Without waiting for Xu Ji to summon him, Meng Seng Lun came by himself, entered the house and arched his hand: "Why did the ruling suddenly change his mind?" ”

"Who told you I'm going to do it in the main hall?" Xu Ji suppressed his anger, he needed loyal subordinates too much now, and he couldn't be ruthless.

Meng Seng Lun was stunned, "The ruling government asked General Song to prepare, and before you ordered and decided to gather, let General Song check the path to the main hall, isn't it for this matter?" ”

Xu Ji did let Song Xingju do these things, but at the last moment, he changed his mind and did not give that crucial order: to lead five hundred soldiers to attack the main hall and attack the few guards brought by the kings.

The seven surnamed generals exchanged news, and they were as close as a family, and Meng Seng Lun heard about it soon after he returned to the city.

"Since you know that I am prepared, why do you still ask Xue Jinyao for help?" Xu Ji accentuated his tone.

Meng Shenglun didn't seem to want to answer.

Xu Ji said: "I trust General Meng and rely on General Meng, not for you to make decisions for me!" ”

Meng Seng Lun took a step forward, "There are two reasons: first, I think that General Song led his troops to attack, although he could attack more and less, but he would not be able to enter the main hall for a while and a half, and it might be dangerous for the ruling to be inside; Second...... Second, I guessed that the ruling would be hesitant, so ......"

Xu Ji felt a burst of anger in his heart, he didn't care about Meng Seng Lun's other words, but the sentence "I guess the ruling will hesitate" made him unacceptable.

"Meng Seng Lun!"

Meng Seng Lun knelt down, kowtowed, and stepped forward and said: "I know that I have committed a serious crime, even if Xue Jinyan really kills the kings, I will ask the ruling for guilt and be willing to suffer the punishment of the sword and axe." ”

This is not the first time Meng Senglun has made his own assertions, Xu Ji is in a dilemma again, the first time is okay, Meng Senglun is publicly guilty, Xu Ji can be punished publicly, but this time no one knows, punishment or non-punishment is all in Xu Ji's words, which makes him even more difficult.

"Kill the kings at this time, and there will be chaos in the city, how can you fight against the officers and soldiers outside the city?" Xu Ji hoped to make Meng Shenglun a little more sober.

"Isn't the government already thinking of a countermeasure?"

"What did you guess what I was thinking?" Xu Ji couldn't cry or laugh.

"When I went out of the city, I saw the king of Jibei, and he never forgot to govern, and still regarded the ruler as his son-in-law. I thought that the ruling party was to rely on this relationship, first return to Shunye City, seize a foothold, and wait until the soldiers are strong and strong, and then it is not too late. ”

This is indeed one of Xu Ji's plans, he did not implement it, it is still the same reason: "It's not the time yet, these words that the king of Jibei said to you are just an expedient measure, if I can't integrate the army of the kings first, he won't let me leave with my troops at all, and the greatest favor is to take me back to Yecheng and continue to be his son-in-law." ”

Meng Senglun lowered his head and said, "Yes, I didn't think about it enough. ”

"And you let Xue Jin shake kill the kings for me, how can the king of Jibei be happy?"

Meng Senglun raised up, and there was a hint of confusion on his face, "Isn't it just right for Xue Jinyao to kill the kings, and the ruling to kill Xue Jinyao to get rid of future troubles?" The ruling wife is the daughter of the king of Jibei, what is the king of the world? A country god, his daughter ......"

Xu Ji laughed angrily, "Is this Wu Shi's technique of seizing power?" Wounded a thousand enemies, eight hundred self-inflicted, and no matter what the external troubles are, first get rid of internal worries, no wonder Wu Guo ......"

The next words were too heavy, insulting Emperor Wu, although Xu Ji had never seen this grandfather, because of his mother, he had some respect in his heart, so he retracted the second half of his words and sighed, "General Meng, please get up." ”

Meng Shenglun got up slowly, "Can the ruling government listen to me?" ”

"You say." Xu Ji said helplessly.

"I'm in your twenties, and although I don't have much intelligence and I'm not good at leading troops into battle, I've experienced a little more. In my experience, all the kings had different intentions, especially the kings of Ning and Jin, and even the king of Liang, who also wanted to get rid of others and become kings independently. The ruling party thinks long-term and refuses to strike first, only for fear that there will be near-term worries. ”

"I understand what General Meng meant, can you let me think about it again......" Xu Ji was suddenly shocked in his heart, this sentence sounded a little familiar, as if it was what the general had said to himself.

"Let me think about it again", the simple five words sound polite, but in fact, they are shirking and retreating, which is equivalent to admitting that they do not have a clear idea at this moment.

The exhaustion in Xu Ji's heart was swept away, he must not show the slightest weakness in front of Meng Seng Lun, sometimes loyalty is more terrible than betrayal, loyalists always want to be closer, the master takes a step back, he will follow two or three steps.

"I have my own plan." Xu Ji changed his words, and his tone became cold, "You go out of the city immediately, go and see what the officers and soldiers are doing, and discuss it with Guo Shifeng, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...... You're coming back the night after tomorrow. ”

Meng Senglun's eyes lit up, "There is really a plan to govern...... How could I ask such stupid words? It's all my fault, I thought I was smart, and I almost ruined the plan to govern. ”

Meng Seng Lun retired, Xu Ji sat down, tiredness hit his heart, and he didn't want to get up for a long time.

After nightfall, he came to Xue Jinyao's room.

The nurse took the young son of the incarnated king to the next room to rest, Xue Jinyao was grinding the dagger, and was very surprised to see Xu Ji, put down the dagger, got up and said: "I will no longer listen to you in the future, I will find a way to take revenge, don't ...... you"

Xu Ji stepped forward and held his wife's hands again, without force, but with tenderness, "I don't ask anything, let's be an ordinary couple first." ”
