Xiao Meiniang smiled slightly: "Then ask the No. 2 conspirator of the Great Sui to sue the number one conspirator of the Great Sui, why do you know that I have a national enmity with Chen Xuan'er, and now you still want to mention to me the matter of letting her go?" I finally have a chance to put her to death and avenge our Great Liang Kingdom, why should I give up after listening to your words? Now that Xuanhua is no longer in the palace, I can't help you much, if you want to hear the news in the palace, naturally I will help you pass it on, why do you want to offend me, the number one conspirator of the Great Sui, for the sake of a Xuanhua? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "Since Xuanhua is no longer in the palace, it will not pose a threat to you, why do you want to put her to death?" If you talk about national hatred and family hatred, there are still so many princes in the Chen family, if you don't eradicate them one by one, what are you competing with such a weak woman? ”

"Besides, it wasn't Xuanhua who destroyed your Liang State back then, people were born in the emperor's family, but within a few days of good life, they encountered the ruin of the country and the family, and after being taken captive to Daxing, they were also cautious, there was no happiness at all, and they didn't experience the benefits of a princess, that is, in the past six or seven years, after the death of Queen Dugu, her situation has improved a little."

"But Meiniang, you should also know that although Xuanhua has the name of his wife, he can't even take care of his mother and younger brother, and he is also walking on thin ice in the palace, cautious, and after Yang Jian's death, he became Yang Guang's plaything, don't you have a little sympathy for such a life?"

Xiao Meiniang's eyebrows frowned slightly: "These are the fates that she must admit as a woman in the clan, since ancient times, ruthlessness is the most emperor's family." Am I happier than she is? Even now. It's not like you have to wear a mask every day to live. When Yang Guang was here at night, he didn't even dare to dream, for fear that if he said the wrong thing in his dream, he would incur the extermination of the clan, and even, even if he was destined to be an enemy with his own flesh and blood, Wang Xingman, who can understand my hardships? ! ”

Xiao Meiniang herself said it quite sadly. After all, it is a woman, and her feelings are still easy to be exposed, and when she heard Xuanhua's tragic experience, she thought of her bitterness and pain over the years, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Wang Shichong put away his smile and nodded heavily: "Actually, my experience is also very tortuous, when I was a teenager, I was just the son of a businessman, and I wanted my son to inherit his father's business and be a good businessman." However, our family's property was targeted by Wang Shiji, a general of the same clan, who wanted to forcibly seize our family property. In desperation, my father ordered my three brothers to take advantage of the opportunity of the Sui Dynasty's southern expedition to destroy Chen, donate money to join the army, and wanted to make military achievements and find a backer to keep the family business. But I didn't expect that Wang Shiji, the evil thief, was found thousands of miles away, and set a trap to put the three of us brothers to death, and my eldest brother died to save me, and since then, I have made up my mind to kill Wang Shiji and avenge my eldest brother. ”

"Although at that time, I was just the son of a businessman without official and power, but driven by a strong heart of revenge, I went back and forth between many important ministers and generals, and finally obtained the protection of Gao Xi, and fought wars everywhere in the world, and also took various opportunities to expand his business, step by step on countless people, dodge countless guns and arrows, and struggled for ten years with his head, and finally took advantage of the dispute between the princes to completely kill Wang Shiji, Meiniang, the refreshing feeling of revenge, I know very well, But the emptiness and powerlessness of revenge are something you can't experience. ”

Xiao Meiniang listened to Wang Shichong's story motionlessly, and sighed faintly: "I just heard Yang Guang say that you are a very capable person, but you don't have any principles and loyalty, and you will immediately change the court when you see which side is in power, you are a typical talented and immoral person, I didn't expect that there are so many stories behind this." And when she looked at Wang Shichong, she actually had a little more sympathy.

Wang Shichong hasn't mentioned the past for many years, and today he mentioned it in front of Xiao Meiniang, although it was also part of his plan, but when he said it, especially when he thought of An Suiyu's death, he felt a little more sad: "Meiniang, do you know why I killed Wang Shiji, and after the revenge was avenged, I still had to choose to stand on the side of Yang Guang, who knew that he was not a good person, and had the heart to overthrow the Great Sui?" That's because my beloved wife also died in this dark court struggle! ”

The fire shone on Wang Shichong's distorted face, and his memories flowed out of his mouth like a spring with his words, from the first encounter with An Suiyu on the grassland, to the heartbreak when An Suiyu died in the cat ghost case in the end, he said it slowly, and Xiao Meiniang was silent until finally An Suiyu died, she sighed: "I didn't expect Xingman to be a person of great affection and righteousness, so you want to destroy Sui, it's all about avenging your lover, right?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Most of it, I just wanted to kill Yang Yong for revenge, but then I slowly found out that Yang Guang can't control and can't stop it, he will definitely go against the grain and make the world in chaos, if this tyrant is in power and harms the world, it is better for me to raise troops to eliminate violence and save the people of the world, because even if I don't do this thing, there will be other heroes and heroes to do it, and I know that Yang Guang has too many unsavory secrets, sooner or later he will get rid of me, I don't want to live this life in fear." , so I chose to make friends with heroes from all walks of life and plan the world. Beauty, to be honest, I didn't expect to cooperate with you! ”

Xiao Meiniang smiled slightly: "This may be a fate destined by God for us." Okay, Xingman, for your poignant love story, I know that you want to save Xuanhua out of a kind of compensation for not saving An Suiyu, I can agree to your request and no longer embarrass Xuanhua. ”

"But I can't let Xuanhua out, after all, she is the woman of the former emperor, and according to the ancestral system, she is going to die in the Xiandu Palace, and as a former concubine, it is impossible for her to disappear suddenly. I can't do anything about it. I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts, Yang Guang's vigilance is very high, if Xuanhua is missing, he will definitely investigate it on a large scale, and when the time comes, our affairs will be exposed, so I will not agree to your risk. ”

Although Xiao Meiniang was smiling and talking, her face was pleasant. The voice is also gentle and pure with a magnetic sound. But there is a non-negotiable firmness. Wang Shichong has many years of experience in dealing with countless people. I feel very clearly that this is basically Xiao Meiniang's bottom line, and it is unlikely that she will retreat again. So, Wang Shichong played his last card.

"In this way, Xuanhua can only leave the Xiandu Palace as a corpse, and nothing else can be discussed, right?"

Xiao Meiniang nodded: "If you want to keep her body, transport it out of the Xiandu Palace in the future." I can open the net, according to the ancestral system, this corpse was originally to accompany the burial of the emperor's mausoleum, but if you feel sorry for Xuanhua, or her family has a request in this regard, I can agree. ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Okay, let's make a decision, I will let Xuanhua die, and then transport her body out of Xiandu Palace, and ask Meiniang to make it convenient." ”

Xiao Meiniang suddenly became alert: "What do you mean by this?" What the hell are you going to do? ”

Wang Shichong nodded. From his bosom, he took out a small celadon bottle: "This thing is called Immortal Pour, which is made of saliva of a highly poisonous snake in the Western Regions mixed with more than 100 kinds of elixirs." After taking it, the heartbeat will stop completely, and the body will be cold, in a word, it will be exactly the same as a dead person, but if the antidote is given to the person taking the medicine on the fifth day, she can still be saved. ”

Xiao Meiniang's face turned pale all of a sudden: "You want to say, let me take this fake death medicine for Xuanhua, and then transport it out of the palace for burial, and then you will rob the body and save it, right?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, put the small bottle on the table, and pushed it in front of Xiao Meiniang: "Meiniang, you just said that as long as it is a corpse of Xuanhua, you will not mind releasing her from the palace, why, I said that I can turn Xuanhua into a corpse, and you have to regret it again?" ”

Xiao Meiniang gritted her teeth: "First, fake death is not a corpse, it's not the same thing. Second, if Yang Guang knew that Xuanhua was dead, he would definitely send someone to check the body, how could you fool the past when the time came? Third, what are you trying to get Xuanhua out of the country for? I want to hear your truth. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Xiao Meiniang motionlessly, just as she looked at herself motionless at this moment, from her resolute eyes, Wang Shichong knew that it was impossible to lie this time, and it was impossible to deceive, this woman's eyes were very poisonous, although she claimed to be invincible in the world, but I am afraid she couldn't hide from her eyes, because this woman was also acting with her life.

Wang Shichong nodded and said: "If Yang Guang wants to check the corpse, it's very easy, let's take advantage of Yang Guang's inspection to do this when he goes out to inspect the fortress, a female corpse similar to Xuanhua about thirty years old I prepared in advance, and then buried it, it was summer, and when Yang Guang came back, the corpse had already rotted in the soil, and he couldn't find out whether Xuanhua's body was real or fake." Don't worry, I'll take care of the corpse and take care of it seamlessly. ”

Xiao Meiniang's nose twitched: "Then there is one last question left, I want to know the reason why you have to find Xuanhua." Don't tell me that you like this woman, Wang Shichong, you should know that I won't believe it. ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Of course not, but I'll tell you the truth, I left Xuanhua, I need a witness, when necessary, I will let her show up, and correct the incident that happened in Renshou Palace that night, and announce Yang Guang's murder of his father and mother to the whole world, which can completely negate the legitimacy of Yang Guang's throne and accelerate his demise." ”

Xiao Meiniang's face sank like water, and in a pair of big black and shining eyes, the light was shining, and she nodded: "Is that all?" For no other reason? ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "What else can there be? Xuanhua is not a man, not Chen Shubao's widow or something, that Chen Shen, the last prince of Chen State, is still farming in Longyou, if you suspect that I want to play the card of Chen Guo's clan and make trouble in Jiangnan, I will not think that I will rely on a Xuanhua to buy the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. ”

Xiao Meiniang's brows stretched a little, what she was most worried about was actually this, Xiao Liang's purpose was to restore the entire old land of Southern Liang, including Jiangnan, and it was by no means only Jingzhou, so she would be so ruthless to the Chen Dynasty clan who was also a remnant of the country, revenge for the country was just an excuse, and the real purpose was that there could be no other forces fighting for Jiangnan with her in the troubled times.

Xiao Meiniang nodded and put the bottle of fake death medicine into her arms: "Okay, I'll believe you once this time, it's okay." But you've told me so much today. Again, he asked me to arrange Hu Sizheng as an official. You want me to help you get Xuanhua again. It's all about me doing things, and now I can let you do something, too? As an ally, you can't just unilaterally make a wedding dress for others. ”

Wang Shichong had been prepared for Xiao Meiniang's approach, and smiled slightly: "Meiniang, do you want me to find a way to help you get rid of He Ruobi and Gao Xi?" ”

A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Meiniang's eyes: "How do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Because you don't have any other foreign aid now, all your hopes are placed on Xiao Miao, so his current enemy is your biggest opponent." He Ruobi didn't listen to your and my advice, or warnings, not only did he refuse to evacuate Xiangzhou, but now he clearly continued to expand in Jingzhou, and it was strange that you Xiao didn't get rid of him. ”

Xiao Meiniang gritted her teeth and said: "We have long had the intention of getting rid of He Ruobi, but in the past, Mill'er was weak in Jingzhou, so we had to borrow his wealth, but now we don't need it, but this guy still has to inch in, if it weren't for the concern that getting rid of him would probably cause Yang Guang's vigilance." Or maybe this guy will bite us indiscriminately when he goes to jail. I would have persuaded Yang Guang to get rid of him a long time ago. Now do you have any good way to make He Ruobi finish quietly? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "It's not that there is no way, but you have to think clearly, He Ruobi is also a powerful person in the Guan Long family after all, and he is naturally anti-minded, and he will pose a huge threat to Yang Guang in the future, his power is in the north, and he insists on developing in the south, in the final analysis, it will not be possible, I don't understand why you are so anxious to put him to death." Don't you have the confidence to compete with him in Jingzhou? ”

Xiao Meiniang said coldly: "Jingzhou has always been the world of our Xiao family, of course it is not difficult to defeat him, but the problem is that this guy will not admit defeat, if the competition is not strong, it will let his troops and servants in the north go south in a big way, and fight us to the end, there has been this trend recently, some of the new shops he opened in Jingzhou are used by northerners, I am afraid that after a long time, it will attract Yang Guang's attention, after all, Yang Guang is not a fool, and it is impossible to be unaware of a place like Jingzhou for a long time." ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you want me to say hello to He Ruobi again and ask him to stop, if it really doesn't work, you can do it again?" ”

Xiao Meiniang shook her head: "I don't think it's necessary." This person is arrogant, basically impossible to listen to people's advice, even if we get him to prison and kill his head, he will know that we did it, and maybe he will bite us out, okay, I just need you to help me kill He Ruobi, nothing else to say. If you don't have the ability, I won't force you. ”

Wang Shichong sighed softly: "Actually, it's very easy to deal with He Ruobi, this guy is too loose-mouthed, he likes to say strange things and complain, the first emperor can not worry about him, but Yang Guang will definitely not, if you really want to deal with him, you only need to say to Yang Guang, saying that He Ruobi has been a general for many years, this time to inspect the north, you need to subdue the Turks, just let him follow the car, just like the emperor used the majesty of Han to capture the tiger to deter the Turkic envoys." ”

Xiao Meiniang's eyes lit up: "And then?" That doesn't sound like a good idea. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Yang Guang doesn't know about the battle formation, and the reason for going out of the fortress is to show off his strength, so he will definitely make a huge show, hundreds of thousands of people will go out of the fortress, and the handsome tent here will be even more afraid that others will not know, which is completely contrary to the art of war, He Ruobi will not persuade or bury these words in his heart, he will definitely get drunk and tell people that Yang Guang does not understand the art of war, and he will mess around, and the next thing is not necessary for me to say more." ”

Xiao Meiniang nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good way, but if it is full, can you be sure that this matter will be successful, what if He Ruobi can't find the right person to complain?" Or what if no one hears him when he complains? Also, if I send someone to spy on He Ruobi, and then report it to Yang Guang, will it be too obvious? ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "If He Ruobi can control his stinky mouth and bragging, he will not be in this situation now, don't worry, Gao Xi is on patrol with the car this time, He Ruobi will not be less complaining, as for the monitors, don't worry about you, Yang Guang will naturally send eyeliner to stare at them, in the final analysis, Yang Guang's jealousy of Gao Xi and the hatred of the year are the things that really want He Ruobi's life." ”

Xiao Meiniang laughed: "Xingman, you are really a yin person who doesn't spit out bones, okay, I will let Ayu find an opportunity to speak to Yang Guang, if you can get rid of He Ruobi this time, we will consolidate our relationship in the future as the basis for further in-depth cooperation." ”

Wang Shichong nodded and stood up: "Then I wish us a good luck." He thought of Gao Xi's white beard in his heart, and sighed secretly: Lord Gao, it's not that I want to harm you, just see if you can escape this disaster by yourself this time.

In April, Yanmen County (Daizhou, where Wang Shichong fought before), a boiling momentum, the originally sparsely populated northern border city, was filled with more than 300,000 troops outside the patrol with Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the white wolf in the north of the city was stuffed to the plain south of the city, on the battlefield of the Turkic and Yang Lang rebels in the past, there were troops stationed everywhere, the battalion was more than 100 miles, the flags were fluttering, and within a radius of 100 miles were the sound of people shouting horses and neighing, so a powerful and powerful killing atmosphere.

The county guard mansion of Yanmen County has been renovated and cleaned, and even the gate of the county guard mansion and the plaque on the door have been replaced with fine sour branch wood, and the outside is painted with bright red paint, and the rivets on the door are all made of gold, shining in the sunshine, changing the shabby and simple atmosphere here a few years ago, Yang Guang is wearing a yellow robe, and is accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, standing outside the county guard's mansion, twisting his beard and smiling: "Qiu Taishou, I know that this Yanmen is a poor place, where did you get the money, How about decorating this county guard mansion so magnificently? ”

This Yanmen Taishou is the former Puzhou Thorn Shi Qiu He, when Yang Liang raised troops, Qiu He abandoned the state and fled, and went back to dismiss the official for the people, but he relied on betraying the former right guard general Yuan Xuan and salted fish turned over, reappointed the Daizhou Thorn History, a few months ago the state was abolished and the county was placed, this Qiu and because he has always been loyal to Yang Guang, and is not the person recommended by Yang Su, so he stayed in office and turned the assassin history as the Taishou, he heard that Yang Guang wanted to patrol the north outside the fortress, it is possible to pass through Yanmen, so he poured out the savings of the treasury, and even posted a lot of private money himself, and decorated the county guard mansion to a brilliant wall, is like the palace of the Son of Heaven, just to be able to take a good picture of Yang Guang's sycophants who like luxury life here today.

Qiu He has been by Yang Guang's side, nodding and bowing his head, originally as a military general, he is much taller than Yang Guang, because he has always maintained this posture of bowing his head to his ears, but he is half a head shorter than Yang Guang, as soon as he heard Yang Guang's words, he hurriedly said: "Back to His Majesty, in recent years, Qi Tian Hongfu has been supported by His Majesty, and the Turks have surrendered, and Yanmen is here as an important channel for border markets, collecting tolls and fees for caravans, and the financial situation has been much better than in previous years. In the past, it was completely counting on the appropriation relief of the imperial court, and now there can be a slight surplus, plus this time the state is abolished and the county is placed, the imperial court has also allocated a sum of money, I heard that His Majesty is going to patrol the northern border fortress, I and other Yanmen officials and soldiers are all looking forward to it day and night, and the people of the whole city under the leadership of Weichen have worked hard for three months, and finally renovated the city and the county guard's mansion, which is specially to serve His Majesty. ”

Since Yang Guang came out of Guanzhong, most of the northern states and counties he has passed through still maintain the appearance of the dirt and scum in the previous Yang Jian period, and the county guards look old and dilapidated, and there is not much difference from the private houses on the side, even Zhang Heng, who should have realized his mind and served as a palace supervisor in Fenyang Palace, did not let himself live in the palace when he entertained himself, but introduced himself into a manor in the deep mountains as his temporary resting place on the grounds that the palace was not completed, it seems that Zhang Heng deliberately wanted to show the integrity of the official in front of him, He actually advised himself to cherish the people's strength, and not to build too much construction, so that the people's livelihood was tired.

Yang Guang hated this argument from the bottom of his heart: Lao Tzu pretended to be a grandson and acted for decades, and once he became a master, isn't it just to live a life of a master? As for the people, they should be cattle and horses, so they should do what cattle and horses do, otherwise why would the governor of the Eastern Han Dynasty call him a shepherd?
