Chapter 329: Losing Ground

Hearing that the Golden Holy Maiden was holding back her strength to kill herself, Zhang Shiqing laughed out loud, "Welcome to her." I admire her a lot, she can't protect herself, and she still wants to be jealous - and she is still jealous without a shadow. ”

"It's not all jealousy." Meng Yingbo ignored Xu Ji's eyes and explained: "The Golden Saintess said that there are no good people in the Zhang familyβ€”not all Zhangs, but the Zhang family of the Emperor of All Thingsβ€”regardless of gender, they should all be killed. The lord of Fangde should be killed, because you are disloyal, unfilial, and unchaste: when the emperor of all things is assassinated, you do not take revenge, but let go of the assassin, which is disloyal; I heard that you often disobey your parents' orders and do misdeeds, which is unfilial; Thou hast not kept manners, and hast written the book of Hugh, and hast gone about thy face for unchastity; And ......"

"Enough!" Zhang Shiqing reprimanded, turned to Xu Ji, and said coldly: "You still want Yecheng to form an alliance with the thief army?" If you succeed, I not only admire you, but also treat you as a living immortal. ”

Zhang Shiqing turned around and left, with a belly full of anger.

Xu Ji said to Meng Yingbo: "The Golden Holy Maiden said these words? ”

Meng Yingbo first glared, intending to carry it to the end, but then changed his mind and said with a smile: "I don't like to learn?" ”

"Those things you said, it's too late for the Golden Holy Maiden to admire, how can it be regarded as a sin?"

"Huh." Meng Yingbo scratched his head, "I said to General Wang Dian at the time, in the King of Wu...... Don't lie in front of Childe, he doesn't listen, he has to ask me to memorize this call, saying that if it is useful, it will make Childe lose his most important backer in Yecheng......"

"Wang Dian is in such a hurry to let me go to Qinzhou?"

"It's not just Wang Dian, everyone is in a hurry, seeing that the Descendant Army is getting worse day by day, but the enemy army around them is getting stronger and stronger......"

"Get on your knees." Xu Jidao.

"Huh?" Meng Yingbo was stunned, he was about to kowtow as soon as he came, but was stopped by Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi, but at this time he asked him to kneel down again for no reason, which was really incomprehensible, but he was very obedient, he didn't understand if he didn't understand, he did it first and then said, so he knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said happily: "Gongzi wants to be called the king again......

"I won't turn back, kneeling down is to let you speak honestly, don't lie anymore, if you play tricks again, God will abandon ghosts, and the sky will thunder."

Meng Yingbo was frightened and anxious, "It's not me, it's all Wang Dian's idea." ”

"I don't care whose idea it is, you are doing it, and the sin is yours."

Meng Yingbo kowtowed again, "I don't dare, please look at my brother's face and spare me once." ”

Speaking of Meng Senglun, Xu Ji sighed, "I don't care, but you don't want to get up, just kneel there and talk." ”

"Yes, yes, I don't get up, and in front of my son, I don't have a place to stand." In order to persuade Xu Ji to go out of the mountain, Meng Yingbo was much more respectful than before.

Xu Ji moved away from his chair and sat aside, "Now you can speak." ”

"Say...... What the? ”

"The true state of the Descendant."

Meng Yingbo kneeled, wanting to change direction to face Xu Ji, but was stopped by waving his hand, he had to continue to speak to the table, and sighed again before speaking, "Anyway, the lie will be seen through by the child, and I don't have the ability to make it up seamlessly, so let's tell the truth." Although there is discord among the leaders of the descending army, but it has grown a lot, everyone says that the golden saint is better at fighting than the descending king, and is more fair, and is willing to be loyal to her, not to mention that there is still a young king, Maitreya still favors the whole army. ”

After staying in the World Army for a long time, Meng Yingbo also began to believe in Maitreya, and he really believed it, and when he said these two words, he unconsciously put his hands together and glanced up.

"Those officers and soldiers who surrendered in the Eastern Capital, especially Cao Shenxi, are now the right-hand men of the Golden Holy Maiden, from the siege of the city and the land, the arrangement of troops, to the formation of the army, all by them, and the Golden Holy Maiden has no opposition. Our Wu people are pitiful, they were originally the descendants of the son, and they were entrusted by the son to follow the golden saint into Qin, but they were ostracized, no one can be called a cronie, and they are not qualified to participate in big and small affairs. Just before I set off, the Golden Saintess forcibly broke up the Wu soldiers and distributed them to the generals, and even the banner of the Wu army was canceled. ”

"It's a ruthless move."

"But no, Jin Shengnu doesn't miss the old love of the son at all, and treats the Wu people as ordinary soldiers, General Wang Dian's burns have not been all good, and now he can only be an idle general, there is no soldier under him, I am even more miserable, just a general, leading five hundred soldiers, ninety percent of which are not Wu people, but the descending army, and they don't listen to me at all."

Meng Yingbo said that he was angry, shaking his head and gritting his teeth, Xu Ji sat on the side and looked at it carefully, believing that what he said this time was the truth.

"The other Wu people are like this?"

"Yes, the Wu people are only the highest generals, with 3,000 troops. Really, our requirements are not high, there are many soldiers in the world, and they are the old department of the Xue family, which is more advantageous than us and can be accepted; The new army brought troops into the group, and there were also many people, and their official positions were higher than ours, and they could bear it; But what is the matter with Cao Shenxi and the others? They used to be officers and soldiers, but they were the great enemies of the army that descended to the world, and they were also generals and soldiers, the number of them was only three or five hundred, and their loyalty was not guaranteed, but they were all reused. Cao Shenxi refused to lead the troops, but he was the most trusted military advisor of the Golden Saintess, and he had to participate in the decision, and the Golden Saint even called him his father-in-law! ”

"Father-in-law?"

"That's right, don't talk about the Wu people, the descending army is not happy, especially the invincible, openly claiming that if Cao Shenxi dares to call himself grandfather, he will fight to the death, and he will also split the old guy in two."

Xu Ji laughed out loud.

"Gongzi Mo smiled, this is the truth, not only Cao Shenxi, Guan Changling is so old that he can't even ride a horse, but he was entrusted with the position of deputy marshal, and dozens of people have been named generals, and their official positions are several levels higher than before they surrendered. We see it in our eyes and are anxious in our hearts, and if we continue like this, the descending army will inevitably mutiniate because of dissatisfaction......"

"Didn't you say that the Descendant Army is willing to pledge allegiance to the Golden Holy Maiden?"

"Yes, loyalty, but there is also dissatisfaction in the heart, both, if the son can go on a trip and set things right in time, the descending army will naturally be dissatisfied, only loyalty remains, if it is a few days late, I am afraid that the dissatisfaction will overwhelm the loyalty, and it will be irretrievable."

"Okay."

"Good...... What does that mean? ”

"You just rest in this house, don't go out, wait for Yecheng to come over, and then make plans."

"Childe...... You won't hand me over, will you? If I fall into the hands of the government, I will surely die. ”

"Of course not, if the government has to take you away, I will accompany you to see the official."

Meng Yingbo kowtowed to the table, "It's enough to have a son's words, if there is really no way out, I don't care if I die, I must not affect the son, just ask the son to find an opportunity, go to Qinzhou quickly, and have time to save the Wu people and the golden saint." ”

"You rest steadily, and leave everything to me."

Xu Ji got up and left, and rested in the study next door.

Meng Yingbo stood up, let out a long breath, and muttered: "Gongzi is clever, since he said that everything will be handed over to him, then it must be fine, I better sleep." ”

Meng Yingbo went to bed and lay down, and soon snored, separated by a wall, but Xu Ji was picking up the lights to browse the military newspaper, he had already read it once, and then he would re-read the dozens of photos he had selected.

The night was deep, the valley was silent, even the sound of insects was much less sound, most of them had already fallen asleep, and even the officers and soldiers around the courtyard were only a few on duty, and the others either went to the outpost or found an empty room to rest.

Zhang Shiqing didn't sleep either, she was already lying down, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up again, didn't wake up Colorful, put on her clothes and shoes, went out quietly, and saw the light in the study at a glance.

It was a hot summer day, and the doors and windows of the study were not closed, Zhang Shiqing stood at the door, did not cross the threshold, and quietly looked at Xu Ji, who was unaware, she knew that there were soldiers watching from afar, but she didn't care.

I don't know how long it has been, Xu Ji was a little tired, got up and stretched his waist, saw the person at the door, and said with a smile: "How long have you been here?" ”

"Just arrived. It was too hot to sleep. ”

"Come in."

Zhang Shiqing shook his head.

"Meng Yingbo admits that he made up those words, Jin Shengnu ......"

Zhang Shiqing shook his head again and stepped into the house, "It has nothing to do with her." He took off his shoes, walked to the mat and sat down, adjusted his sitting posture for a while, and praised: "No wonder Mr. Fan likes to sit on it, although he is a little tired, but there is no cramped chair and stool." ”

Xu Ji also went to the mat and sat opposite, "And there is no distinction between host and guest." ”

"Yes, your position is the main seat."

"That's an ancient ceremony, it has no meaning, above the same table, there is no distinction between host and guest, there is no high or low, and there is no high or low."

"Hey, that's nice, but it's illusory."

"Enjoying the flowers in late spring is a moment, looking up at the stars is a moment, galloping on the court is a moment, and the emperor will be a moment."

"I'm not going to argue with you about this kind of thing." Zhang Shiqing was silent for a while, "That person named Yu Zhan is telling the truth, right?" ”

Xu Ji refused to answer.

"Are you afraid of being listened to by idlers again?" Zhang Shiqing smiled disdainfully, and then his face sank, "I've thought about it for a long time, what is the 'general trend' of our family?" In the end, I have to say that it is possible for my father and brother to ......"

"It's just possible. There are suspicions everywhere, and none of them are really monolithic, and it is the responsibility of the head of the family to resolve the suspicions, at least to cover up the suspicions, and it is here that this person's ability is revealed. ”

"You've put all the blame on Huan Yan."

"Since she wants to be the head of the family, she can't avoid this kind of thing."

"What if she kills to resolve the rift?"

"It's an option, but it does more harm than good, and it makes me wonder if she's not good enough."

"Hey, this is Huanyan's 'general trend': at least for now, she can't leave our family."

"I can't do without it."

"What about later? You don't have to answer. Zhang Shiqing lowered his gaze, and the innocence in his expression almost disappeared at all.

Xu Ji was impulsive, wanted to say something, redeem a little of the innocence on his face, and finally held back, even in this small deserted valley, he couldn't be the master, rather than give illusory hope, he was more willing to show the cruel reality.

"I'll lie here for a while, and if I fall asleep, please wake me up."

"Okay."

Zhang Shiqing lay down on his side, pillowed one of his arms, and at first his eyes were still open, slowly closing.

Xu Ji sat opposite, didn't wake her up, didn't even check if she was asleep, just watched silently until the oil lamp went out, until the sky was about to dawn, and there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside, informing him that someone was coming from Yecheng.
