Every moment and every moment, Cao Shenxi is regretting his original decision, the "righteous army" is excessive, he must try his best to satisfy, and he will be reprimanded later, on the other hand, the officials who help him do things are complaining, Cao Shenxi is sandwiched in the middle, not a person inside and outside, but he has already gotten on the thief ship, and it is not easy to think about it, he can only carry it hard.

Cao Shenxi has a bottom line, that is, no matter what, the queen mother cannot be allowed to remarry, at least not during the period when he is in charge, such a shocking scandal cannot happen.

But the rumors changed after a while, Cao Shen was tired of coping, and simply moved to the west of the imperial city, where there was an internal official office, which was temporarily requisitioned by him, and then summoned the bolder officials and eunuchs, and cobbled together two or three hundred people, while continuing to govern the eastern capital, while protecting the queen mother's bedroom.

Fortunately, although the rumors were strong, no one really bothered the Queen Mother, Cao Shenxi felt a little at ease, and frequently sent people to invite King Wu.

Xu Ji stayed in the palace, just had the opportunity to see Cao Shenxi, and Xue Liujia sent hundreds of guards to follow, saying that it was to protect safety, but in fact, he was afraid that his "son-in-law" would run away.

Two of the guards were Xue Liujia's cronies, and they followed Xu Ji closely and never left, even if King Wu saw a guest, he refused to retreat.

Cao Shen couldn't wash it so much, and when he saw Xu Ji, he said: "Why is there a rumor that the descending king wants to marry the queen mother?" ”

"Who said that?" Xu Ji pretended to be confused.

"The people of the incarnation king have come several times, let me prepare the wedding banquet, one will ask for this, and the other will ask for that." Cao Shenxi glanced at the two guards and recognized one of them, "You have been here, and you said that you asked for 10,000 taels of gold for the newcomer to press the bed." ”

The guard's face was slightly red, but he refused to give in in front of the general, and raised his head and said, "What's the matter, if others want it, do I want it?" Do you look down on me? ”

Cao Shen washed his temper and shook his head slightly, "Do you know how much 10,000 taels of gold is?" Even if the emperor is still alive, he may not be able to move out the gold immediately, not to mention that the treasury is empty......"

"Don't come to this set, the gold has been hidden by you corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you can't find it, wait, I'll find it myself in two days."

Cao Shenxi had no choice but to say to Xu Ji: "That's it." ”

"There is no such thing, the wife of the ancestor has just entered the city, and it has been explained clearly." Xu Ji said to the guard again: "What do you call Your Excellency?" ”

The guards didn't dare to be rude to King Wu, "King Wu is too polite, what kind of 'Excellency' am I?" My surname is Xue, and I am the nephew of King Zu, so King Wu can call me Xue Xiaoyi. ”

The name of the incarnated king is Liujia, and the nephew's name is Xiaoyi, it is indeed like a family, but another guard sneered: "Your name is Xue Xiaowei, why did you save a word?" ”

"You want to be nosy? Everyone changed their names, Zuwang added a word, and I removed a word, just right. ”

The other guard was also from the Xue family, so he just laughed, and the two of them were about to do it on the spot.

Cao Shenxi looked at Xu Ji helplessly, and didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious, he looked down on these "righteous soldiers" in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

The two guards quarreled for a while, and Xue Xiaoyi gained the upper hand, forcing the other party not to mention the old name of "Little Tail", and instead said to Cao Shen: "Ten thousand taels of gold will be said later, this time I came to prepare a wedding banquet for King Wu." ”

Cao Shenxi was already surprised, so he sighed and didn't ask a word.

Xue Xiaoyi made a bunch of requests, and Cao Shenxi nodded their heads.

An official came in, "General Cao, I just found a batch of bacon, where do you want to send it?" ”

Without waiting for Cao Shenxi to speak, the two guards said in unison: "Send it to me." ”

Xue Xiaoyi said: "At least let me check it first, don't be old meat that has been stored for decades, dogs won't eat it." ”

"I'll go too, you don't know how to distinguish the quality of bacon at all."

The two guards pushed the officials out, and asked the people outside to guard the door, so as not to let King Wu lose it.

Finally, there were only two people left in the hall, and Cao Shenxi let out a sigh of relief, "How many days can Dongdu survive?" ”

"One day counts as one day."

"Their appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and if it goes on like this, the whole East will not be enough to feed them." Cao Shenxi glanced outside, "The opportunity is right in front of you, why did King Wu turn a blind eye?" At the beginning, you advised the general to start an incident in time, but you hesitated? ”

Xu Ji smiled and said, "Good opportunity? ”

"I've heard that the kings will send their troops to Xicheng, and they won't return to the king of Shu, right? Since King Wu is in charge of the kings' soldiers, he has an advantage in the city, and he can get rid of the thief in one fell swoop, why did he enter the palace alone and throw himself into the net? ”

Xu Ji looked at Cao Shenxi and said with a smile: "This is not like what General Cao would say. ”

"At this time, I can't watch like I used to. Tiancheng Building overturned, I can't say that there is no responsibility, the lessons of the past are there, Tiancheng is guilty, the people of Dongdu are not at fault, I don't want to see Dongdu destroyed. ”

"I think the same as General Cao, so I don't want to use my sword lightly. Although the incarnation army is a rabble, if it is cornered, it can fight back, and when the time comes, it will be killed, and the palace will be ruined, and it will be difficult to keep the palace intact. ”

Cao Shenxi sighed, "I still don't understand, the imperial army is obviously winning, why did those people run?" ”

"This so-called authorities are fascinated, when General Cao led his troops outside, he could see the victory, but the people in the city could only listen to rumors and fall into the quagmire. Now General Cao is also suspicious, thinking that the Eastern Capital is in danger? Maybe wait a few more days and you'll find that the 'winning ticket' is still in your hands. ”

Cao Shen was stunned for a while, and sighed again, he didn't know how many times he sighed these days, and felt that the chest and abdomen were about to be empty, "When it comes to conspiracy and trickery, I am ashamed that I am not as good as King Wu, but I can count it, but get rid of one or two people, the world is so big, how long can the plan last?" ”

"With the world in mind and looking at the present, this kind of thing cannot be rushed."

Cao Shenxi was old enough to be Xu Ji's grandfather, but at this time, he felt that he was very naïve, and he was speechless for a while, when a voice suddenly said in the wall: "King Wu's reputation as a thief is becoming more and more famous, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of it in the future." ”

Xu Ji was taken aback, and Cao Shenxi was even more surprised, hurriedly walked to the door, peeked out, turned to the wall, and whispered, "Why are you so careless?" ”

There was a secret door on the wall, which was opened from the inside, and a person came out, and it was the waiter Fei Xin.

Fei Yu bowed his hand to Xu Ji, glanced back at the secret room, and said: "The eunuch built this mechanism in the palace, but no one cares, alas, why did Tiancheng decay so quickly?" ”

"If you don't get it right, you don't keep it right." Xu Ji replied and returned the salute, "Lord Fei didn't leave?" ”

"The big words I said when I stood up are still in my ears, I am thin-skinned, and after thinking about it, I decided to stay."

"Where's Tian Zhuangshi?"

"Go home."

"What are the plans of Lord Fei?"

"Let me ask you a few words first."

"Excuse me."

"If you have the world in mind, why do you avoid the avenue and walk the trail? Although there are shortcuts on the trail, it will inevitably deviate farther and farther, and no one will be able to walk back. ”

Cao Shenxi was not at ease, walked to the door to check the situation for the two of them, and reminded: "Be quiet, people outside can hear it." ”

"Since the world is the world, there is no distinction between avenues and paths, all of them are under the whole world."

Cao Shenxi's various rude requirements for the Descending Army are often difficult to understand, and when he heard the conversation between Xu Ji and Fei Xun, he didn't know why, and his heart was so anxious that he didn't understand the meaning of these two people talking about the avenue and the trail.

Fei Yu felt that it was very important, "Although they are all under the whole world, they are also divided into high and low, otherwise, how can there be expensive and cheap?" Respectful and humble? You compete with wisdom, everyone in the world is a strategist, who is the king of Wu? ”

"As long as I can protect the Eastern Capital, who cares if I use my wits or strength?"

Fei Yu nodded slightly, "What you want is the hearts of the people in the Eastern Capital, and you have also seen that the people who stay in the Eastern Capital are afraid of the enemy, what is the use of you to get this heart?" ”

"Gain this heart, and wash away the name of the thief."

Fei Xin laughed, and Cao Shenxi at the door hurriedly said, "Whisper, someone outside has come to see it." ”

"There is still a long way to go."

"I don't want to do it for a while."

Fei Yu pondered for a while, "I will be a minister of heaven until I die, but I can help you in the matter of protecting the Eastern Capital." ”

"Thank you."

"I have an arm, what is King Wu's arm?"

Xu Ji put his right hand behind his back and said with a smile: "The time has not yet come, it is better to hide." ”

Fei Yu shook his head, "I don't want to say it, I have nothing to hide, except for ...... Hide in the wall. I have about 200 soldiers at my disposal, 50 of whom are hiding nearby, and the rest are in the southern city, ready to go. ”

"Two hundred is not much."

"Not much, but I am familiar with the streets and alleys of the Eastern Capital, attacking and retreating like a swift wind, and the descending army can't catch up."

"The Incarnation Army would rather demolish the entire Eastern Capital."

"That's why I've been holding back."

Xu Ji didn't expect to see Fei Xin again, so he didn't include this person in the original plan, but now he felt that Fei Yu was very useful and needed him to think about it carefully.

Cao Shenxi, who was at the door, said, "They're back." ”

Fei Yu bowed his hand, returned to the secret room, closed the secret door, Cao Shen washed back to his original place, coughed twice, and said as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening: "That's all the things, there is no way to get more." ”

Xue Xiaoyi and the others were full of bacon in their hands and bodies, if they weren't wearing helmets, they would be no different from butchers.

"Good meat, enough taste. We also brought some to King Wu. Xue Xiaoyi said happily.

Xu Ji said: "You stay, I got married today, and I can't ask for anything good." ”

"Hehe, since King Wu doesn't want it, we will all stay. Actually, there are quite a few over there, but they are not enough for everyone, so I asked them to hide them so that everyone would not rob them. Xue Xiaoyi thought this idea was very good.

Xu Ji bowed his hand to Cao Shenxi and said, "That's it, tonight's wedding banquet, General Cao must come." ”

Cao Shenxi could only sigh.

Xue Xiaoyi said angrily: "You are a general, you should be happy to be able to participate in the wedding banquet, how can you sigh and sigh bad people are interested?" ”

Cao Shenxi shook his head and was silent, and Xu Ji said: "General Cao has always been like this, let's go back to see the ancestral king." ”

Xue Liujia sent people to invite the kings, but none of them dared to come, and they all shirked illness and trouble, but a lot of congratulatory gifts were sent.

Xue Liujia was scolding in the hall, and when he saw King Wu coming in, he immediately put on a smiling face, "Ning Bang'er and they actually refused to come to the wedding banquet, what's going on?" Do you want me to invite it myself? ”

"Why don't you go with me."

"No, you are the bridegroom, you must stay in the palace, and you cannot go anywhere. I understood what everyone meant, and I was scared yesterday, so I didn't dare to come. Okay, let's take a step back, the wedding banquet is no longer in the palace, go to your house. ”

"My family?"

"Yes, aren't you the son of a great general? There's always a place in the General's Mansion. ”

"There's a place, I'm afraid there's no one."

Xue Liujia said with a smile: "King Wu's heart is really big, and he won't go to his house to take a look when he returns to the Eastern Capital." I sent someone to show it for you, there are people in the General's Mansion who claim to be the General's wife and the mother of King Wu, and are willing to marry a daughter-in-law in the mansion, isn't it good? If the kings don't even want to go to the General's Palace, then they really can't talk about it. ”
