(PS: Recently, there have been some Kavin, and I can't keep two chapters updated, so I'll update one chapter a day first, and let the madman slow down, and the time is five o'clock in the afternoon.) ）

May is lukewarm and hot, and is the most suitable for visiting friends in spring.

On this day, a luxury official ship suddenly sailed from the Huai River and sailed north along the mighty Yingshui.

Yingshui is not prosperous, and the spring is bright and warm, shining on the surface of the river, reflecting thousands of golden lights.

The green willows on both sides of the bank are long, bending down thin waist branches, floating among the algae, adding a lot of beauty to Yingshui.

At this time, the blue sky is clear and dusty, thousands of waves crash south, and flocks of sand gulls soar and fall.

Looking at it, the outline of Ruyin City loomed in the water-colored blue air.

Faced with this sparse scenery, Situ Wang Mi not only had no intention of appreciating it, but was preoccupied.

In May, he received the decree and reluctantly left Koto.

He went north from Guyi, passing through Hefei and Shouchun, and then crossed the Huai River, and went north to Ruyin along Yingshui.

It is said that Wang Mi was ordered to inspect the Central Plains, and he was in power, so he should be high-spirited, but he was really not happy in his heart.

Except for his good name, he has no power in his hands.

Before coming, Taiwei had made it clear to him that he was trying to appease the Central Plains family and not offend King Yong.

But he knew that the family had already fallen out with King Yong, and the two sides would not compromise at all.

"Alas! What a chore. ”

I think that at the beginning, in order not to cause this trouble, he specially asked the court for sick leave.

Unexpectedly, Taiwei Huan Xuan ignored these at all and directly issued a holy decree to Situ Mansion.

There was no way, Wang Mi had no choice but to pack his bags and go north.

The staff suddenly pointed to the dock in front of him and shouted, "Look, my lord! Someone has come to pick you up. ”

"Well, the old man saw it."

Wang Mi said casually, and a few imperceptible gloom appeared on his face.

He stared at it, but saw a famous family standing on the bank of Yingshui, and the first one was the head of the Xiahou family.

The big ship got closer and closer to the shore, and I saw Xiahou Ling give a few orders, and suddenly the drum music was loud.

The official ship slowly docked, and the sailors were busy lowering anchors and building bridges.

When everything was busy, Wang Mi was getting off the boat in good clothes.

Headed by Xiahou Ling, one hundred and ten children of the family bowed together to welcome the imperial history of the imperial court to Ruyin.

After getting off the boat, Wang Mi immediately changed his smile, leaned down and grabbed one in one hand, and picked up all the celebrities one by one.

"I've seen Lord Situ."

"Thank you for a long time."

"Situ came all the way from Gu for state affairs, and he worked hard all the way."

"There is water and wine in the city, please enjoy the light, so that you can enjoy the friendship of the landlord." Xiahou Ling said boldly.

Wang Mi glanced at Xiahou Ling without a trace, and said with a smile: "This envoy was appointed by the imperial court to go north, especially to inspect the Central Plains, so it is said that he should not accept the invitation of local officials. ”

"But you and I are not strangers to each other, and the head of the Xiahou family invited him kindly, so the old man made an exception today."

"It just so happens that the old man also has something to talk to you about, so it's better to communicate during the banquet, so as not to delay the business."

Xiahou Ling's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, and only ordered people to prepare a banquet.

After a while, Wang Mi and Xiahou Ling and other famous people from the family joined hands in Ruyin City and came to a restaurant.

I saw that the restaurant was paved with red pine panels, and the partition doors and carved pillars were made of oak wood, carved with insects, fish, flowers, birds, clouds, trees, immortals, and various Taoist character stories, which were exquisitely carved and clear.

Wang Mi stood in front of the window and looked at Yingshui in the distance for a while, before turning around and saying: "I heard that the scenery on both sides of Yingshui is pleasant, and it was really eye-opening when I saw it today!" ”

"Looking into the distance, the Yingshui pours away to the southeast, sultry thoughts, and the heart of reminiscing about the past arises spontaneously!"

"Hehe, Situ has won the award!"

Xiahou Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "It turns out that Ruyin is not as lively as it is now, just because the Central Plains has not been peaceful recently, and I have to wait to come here to make it a foregone conclusion, which makes Ruyin more popular." ”

Wang Mi knew that Xiahou Ling's words had a deep meaning, and was turning a corner to tell him that King Yong was tossing too much, and wanted him to take care of King Yong.

But Wang Mi went north to ease the contradictions, not to exacerbate them.

So he smiled and didn't say anything, but changed the subject.

"Can the feast be ready? It's better to start the banquet, the old man suddenly felt that his stomach was empty! ”

"Lord Situ ordered a feast."

At the sound of the order, all the drinks and delicacies were served.

Wang Mi immediately entered the table, Xiahou Ling accompanied the prime minister, and the rest of the people sat down one by one according to their status.

There was a special person next to him who took the wine jug and poured the wine glasses for everyone one by one.

Xiahou Ling raised her wine glass with a smile and saluted Wang Mi: "Lord Situ, please!" ”

"Everyone, please!"

Waiting for the wine to go down, Wang Mi glanced at everyone and said happily: "It just so happens that everyone is here, which saves the old man a lot of trouble." ”

"Before leaving, the captain repeatedly told the old man, saying that the northern expedition of the imperial court is imminent, and the Central Plains must not be chaotic."

"No matter what contradictions and enmity you have between you and King Yong, wait until this battle is over......"

"Wang Situ, then with your intentions, the grievances we suffered before are just settled?"

was interrupted to speak, Wang Mi was very dissatisfied.

But he still didn't change his face and said: "It's not about it, but about it later." ”

"Later? Hum! I'm afraid the daylilies are cold. ”

After listening to Wang Mi's suggestion, everyone at the scene did not show great excitement, but was a little indifferent.

Obviously, the reassuring pill given by Wang Mi could not satisfy the Central Plains family.

Now they are overwhelmed by King Yong's Weishuo, and they don't want to wait any longer.

What's more, these celebrities are not stupid, how can they not see that there is perfunctory meaning in Wang Mi's words.

What does it mean to finish this battle? By the time they finished fighting Nanyan, they had already been swallowed by King Yong's bones.

Seeing that everyone's faces were ugly, Wang Mi sighed slightly in his heart, and became pessimistic about this trip to appease the Central Plains family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that King Yong is powerful, why can't you take a step back for a while?"

"When the Northern Expedition ends in the future, with the support of Taiwei and the imperial court, and then dealing with King Yong, is it better than being isolated now?"

Xiahou Ling's face was slightly cold and said: "Lord Situ, you don't know how King Yong treats my Central Plains family, it's even more brutal than Hu Lu!" ”

"You know what? Just because they were unwilling to hand over the land, they slaughtered all the families everywhere. ”

"It's not that we don't want to wait, it's that reality forces us not to wait."

Wang Mi shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know much about what happened in the Central Plains, but I think there must be some misunderstanding." ”

"The old man and King Yong also have some friendship, if you are really wronged, it is better to tell the old man first."

"Wait for the old man to go north to Luoyang, and then the old man will personally transfer it to King Yong."

Boom! Xiahou Ling slammed the wine cup on the table, very dissatisfied in his heart, Wang Mi was obviously favoring King Yong.

He suppressed the anger in his heart again and continued, "Hmph! But if King Yong gives me and other families a little way to live, we will not insist on going against Hexi. ”

"It's really King Yong's deception too much, we have to fight back, otherwise we will die and have no place to be buried."

"Since the imperial court wants to rely on the expedition of Nanyan in the northwest of the river, then we don't expect Situ to come forward."

"Next, we will seek justice from King Yong ourselves, and those children of the Central Plains family can't die so inexplicably."

"King Yong must give an explanation, if not...... Hum! ”

Wang Mi sighed and said, "The old man understands your feelings, but everything is discussed, so why do you have to fight and kill?" ”

Xiahou Ling was finally angered by Wang Mi's attitude, he got up angrily, pointed at Wang Mi and said angrily: "I thought that Situ was ordered to go north and would deal with the Central Plains dispute impartially. ”

"I don't want to blindly favor King Yong, don't you really think that my Central Plains family is easy to bully?"

Wang Mi was silent for a long time before he said again: "How can the old man be partial? It's just trying to resolve the contradictions between the two sides. ”

"Enough!"

"Wang Situ doesn't have to persuade anymore! The old man only had one sentence, the Central Plains must stop implementing the Juntian system, and King Yong must apologize and compensate the Central Plains family. ”

"Other than that, we and the Central Plains family will not accept any compromises."

"If Taiwei is unwilling to support the Central Plains family, then it will be convenient for you and me to return to the bridge and the road to the road, and it will never matter if you and I return to the bridge."

Wang Mi's face changed greatly, his lips moved, and finally he sighed and said nothing.

……

After the banquet that day, the situation in Ruyin City was still calm, which made Wang Mi feel relieved.

Unfortunately, only one day passed in peace, and the next morning, the situation changed abruptly.

When he got up in the morning, Wang Mi was eating in the post house when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

He was about to send someone out to check, but he saw a guard rush in from outside.

Wang Mi's face changed slightly, and he asked loudly, "Say it quickly!" What happened? ”

"My lord, it's not good, a hundred and ten children of the family suddenly appeared on the street outside, and they were coming to the post house."

When! Wang Mi's chopsticks fell into the plate, and he muttered to himself: "It's finally here......"

Wang Mi didn't want to eat anymore, so he hurriedly got up and walked towards the door of the post house.

At this time, the entrance of the post house was already full of guards, and they looked nervously into the distance.

Wang Mi followed the guards' gaze and couldn't help but let out a rapid inhalation sound.

But I saw that a hundred and ten children of the family were rushing towards the post house, and countless small footsteps sounded on the street.

They shouted slogans in their mouths, and they seemed to be very excited, and the momentum was very amazing.

One hundred and ten children of the family marched all the way and soon came to the inn.

Suddenly, all kinds of slogans poured into Wang Mi's ears one after another, making him feel terrified.

"Resist the uniform field system and release slaves."

"Resolutely oppose the Hexi New Deal!"

"Request the imperial court to take back the jurisdiction of the Central Plains."

Seeing this scene, Wang Mi's face changed greatly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Being blocked at the door by the children of the family certainly made Wang Mi lose face.

But he is more worried that after today's scene spreads, he is afraid that he will be pushed to the forefront.

Originally, Wang Mi just wanted to keep a low profile, but some people didn't want him to get his wish.

The parade of 100 people looked a bit like a farce, but Wang Mi didn't dare to ignore it.

Because Wang Mi knew that the counterattack of the Central Plains family had quietly kicked off, and even he couldn't help but be involved.

The others listened to the earth-shattering slogan, and were dumbfounded, and looked at Wang Mi with some inexplicability and asked, "Si ...... Lord Szeto...... This...... What do these people want to do? ”

What do you want to do?! Wang Mi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze slowly slid over the faces of those excited children of the family, as if he wanted to find something.
