Xiao Jingsheng sneered: "When you say sincerity, you naturally mean the materials on the list?" ”

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "That's right." (Yunlaige Literature Network.) Only in this way can Xiguan believe in our sincerity. ”

"Speaking of which, you are still ready to show weakness to Xiguan." Xiao Jingsheng said dissatisfied.

"It's not a sign of weakness, it's a tactic." Xiao Huanzhang said angrily: "You have lived a few years longer than Xiao Heng, but your knowledge is not as strong as his." Holding his beard, "Give Xiguan supplies, not only can Xiguan not be hostile to us, but more importantly, with these materials, Chu Huan can recuperate and deal with Zhu Lingyue." ”

Xiao Jingsheng said: "Then my father has ever thought that if he really gave Xiguan these materials, even if Xiguan would not be hostile to us, Zhu Lingyue would definitely be dissatisfied with us." ”

"He's always seen me as a thorn in the side." Xiao Huanzhang sneered: "On the contrary, we gave Chu Huan materials, Zhu Lingyue should understand that if Beishan and Xitong are involved, his Zhu Lingyue's wolf ambition may not be able to succeed." If he wants to break the situation in the northwest, he must pull one by one, the rebellion in Jinhe Erzhou, Chu Huan and him are already on the same footing, and it is impossible to join forces, so he can only come to win us over...... At that time, even if we put forward some conditions, he may not agree to them. ”

Xiao Heng strongly advocated a partnership with the West, but it was not really a visionary sight, and it could not be because he had a good impression of Chu Huan, but he went to Xiguan painstakingly, and finally got this list, if he could make a connection with the West, this list would be very important, and it would highlight his merits, once the two sides broke down, then everything he did would be wasted and meaningless.

"Uncle, do we prepare supplies for them according to the list?"

Xiao Huanzhang hesitated for a moment before he said: "The food is not a big problem, even some of the equipment is not unavoidable, but the horses can't come according to their intentions." ”

Xiao Heng nodded and said: "Nephew also means this, a thousand horses, this number is too large, even if we supply it, we can't agree." ”

"Being able to get together 500 horses is already our biggest bottom line." Xiao Huanzhang said solemnly: "Other materials, you go to prepare them first, and you will be responsible for them, as for the horses, let me think about it again." Seeming a little tired, he raised his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Xiao Jingsheng and Xiao Heng both got up, saluted, and then retreated.

When they went out, Xiao Jingsheng and Xiao Heng walked in the corridor one after another, and after walking for a while, Xiao Jingsheng suddenly stopped and turned around, looking a little unkind.

Xiao Heng was calm, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Does the eldest brother have any orders?" ”

"Xiao Heng, if you invite pets in front of your father, Lao Tzu can't control it, but if you want to trap my Xiao family in a predicament, Lao Tzu can't tolerate you." Xiao Jingsheng's expression was cold.

Xiao Heng smiled bitterly: "Why did the eldest brother say this? You are a descendant of the Xiao family, and I am also a descendant of the Xiao family, how can I put the Xiao family in a predicament? ”

"You know that if you are an enemy of Zhu Lingyue, sooner or later your Xiao family will fall into a crisis." Xiao Jingsheng clenched his fists and said, "If it weren't for you clamoring in front of your father, your father might not be an enemy of Zhu Lingyue." ”

"Big brother's words are wrong." Xiao Heng shook his head and said: "The eldest brother can't see it, if today is already a big chaos, the imperial court is no longer able to meddle in the affairs of the northwest, and the three provinces in the northwest will sooner or later be like the eighteen countries competing for power, fighting for life and death, Zhu Lingyue is ambitious, his intentions, others don't know, don't the eldest brother know, that is, he is ready to dominate the northwest, whether it is Xiguan or our Beishan, it is his goal." ”

"Of course I know." Xiao Jingsheng said angrily: "It is precisely because I know this that I have to be cautious." Zhu Lingyue's troops are strong and strong, and there is enough money and food, if we become enemies with him, sooner or later we will cause great trouble. ”

"What if you're not an enemy?" Xiao Heng asked rhetorically: "Do you think that if you show favor to Zhu Lingyue, he will treat us well?" ”

Xiao Jingsheng said: "Why not? He wants to be the Northwest Wang, let's let him go, with the strength in his hands, the Northwest will be in his hands sooner or later, let's have a good relationship with him, even if he really changes in the future, he will not end up with the whole clan being punished. ”

Xiao Heng sighed: "Why should the eldest brother grow up others to destroy his own prestige? It is not yet known who the throne of the king of the northwest is, but my uncle has a long-term vision and is shrewd and wise, so how can he not be the king of the northwest? ”

Xiao Jingsheng sneered: "It is precisely because of your noise that my father will have such thoughts. The soldiers and horses in our hands are not comparable to Zhu Lingyue, and the combat ability cannot be compared with the Tianshan Army......! ”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Heng had already said: "It is precisely because of this that we want to provoke Xiguan and Tianshan to fight, so that Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue are incompatible, and only then can we have a great chance to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

Xiao Jingsheng looked Xiao Heng up and down, and said lightly: "Xiao Heng, don't forget your identity, you have to understand that although Beishan belongs to the Xiao family, it is not yours." ”

"Xiao Heng knows this very well." Xiao Heng said: "But I am a member of the Xiao family, so I have to think about the future of the Xiao family." Big brother, after uncle, this Beishan is yours, if your uncle becomes the king of the northwest one day, then you are the heir of the king of the northwest, everything Xiao Heng has done is not only for his uncle, but also for the eldest brother ......! ”

Xiao Jingsheng did not feel the slightest excitement because of this, and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, it's a pity that Lao Tzu is not rare." I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to be the king of the northwest, and the head on Lao Tzu's head will be ...... you will fall down! He glared at Xiao Heng viciously, said no more, and walked away.

Xiao Heng looked at Xiao Jingsheng's back, his eyes showed resentment, and he suddenly heard a voice beside him: "Heng'er, don't be like him, he has such a personality, some words don't listen to him, don't take it to heart." ”

Xiao Heng turned his head, but saw a mature and beautiful plump woman walking over, gorgeously dressed, dressed decently, although she was over thirty years old, she was very beautiful, with fair skin, plump figure, and a small red mole in the inner corner of her left eyebrow, which made her already beautiful and mature charm, and added to her charm and charm.

"Uncle!" Xiao Heng hurriedly saluted.

Mrs. Xiao smiled lightly, graceful, and said softly: "My own family, you don't have to be so polite." What you said, my uncle and mother heard it, you are thinking about the future of the Xiao family, Jing Sheng will understand sooner or later. ”

Xiao Heng sighed and said, "I hope so." Auntie, actually...... Everything I did was not for myself, but now that the troubled times are coming, if I can't go up against adversity, I am likely to die in good times. ”

Mrs. Xiao swayed her waist lightly, the fragrance was fragrant, and she smiled charmingly: "It's good that the master knows your hard work." You've just come back from Shuoquan, and you've worked hard all the way, so go back and rest early. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Xiao Heng bowed his body, looking very respectful, and his face showed gratitude.

"Hey, it's time for you to marry a daughter-in-law." Mrs. Xiao sighed lightly: "There is a woman who takes care of it, it is always better, if you have the heart, go back and find a suitable girl for you...... aunt!" ”

"Uncle, I ......!" Xiao Heng glanced up at Mrs. Xiao, his throat squirmed, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern, this matter is not in a hurry, some fate is destined, maybe when the time comes, it will naturally become." ”

Mrs. Xiao's beautiful eyes flowed, "yo", and chuckled: "Listen to what you mean, do you have a sweetheart?" Come, tell your uncle, which girl can make Heng'er take a fancy to her? ”

Xiao Heng's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Uncle, this ......!" ”

Mrs. Xiao leaned over and blinked her eyes, "Yo, why is your face still red?" Hmm, Heng'er likes that girl a lot, right? Tell your uncle, which girl is it, if it is suitable, your uncle will go and tell your uncle, let him make the decision for you, your uncle has been thinking about getting a family affair for you, you are not too young, and you can no longer delay. ”

"Uncle laughed." Xiao Heng looked at Mrs. Xiao's expectant eyes, and said softly: "Although my nephew likes her, she ...... But I don't know what she means...... The nephew had long made up his mind that she would not marry in this life. ”

"Oh?" Madame Xiao chuckled and said, "Does she know your mind?" ”

Xiao Heng sighed lightly: "One didn't open his mouth to her. ”

"Why is that?" Mrs. Xiao blinked, and Chunchun taught: "Heng'er, if you really like her, just tell her, if you don't say it, how do you know that other girls don't like you?" Wouldn't that delay yourself? ”

Xiao Heng said: "What my uncle said is that the nephew will find an opportunity to show her ......!" ”

Mrs. Xiao smiled charmingly and said softly: "That's right, you can't let the girl take the initiative in this matter, you are a big man, you should say it first...... Yes, you haven't told your aunt yet, which girl is it? ”

Xiao Heng leaned into Mrs. Xiao's ear and said softly: "Uncle, don't worry, you will always know." ”

"Yo, I'm still selling with my uncle." Mrs. Xiao giggled, her breasts trembled, "Okay, my uncle won't force you, by the way, Heng'er, do you know which temple in our Beishan has the most spiritual Bodhisattva?" ”

Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Uncle wants to worship Buddha?" ”

"Hey......!" Mrs. Xiao sighed faintly: "Recently, I have always been unsteady in my heart, and I always feel that something is going to happen......!" Xiumei frowned slightly, her mature and beautiful pink face with a hint of worry, "I want to go to a temple of good luck and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless the lord and the wife of the family ...... peace!" ”

Xiao Heng thought for a while, and then said: "The largest temple in our Beishan should be the Gushui Temple in Qingzhou, but the road is not close, and it takes seven or eight days to go back and forth, but when it comes to spiritual effects, the Bodhisattvas of the ancient water temple are very effective...... ”

Mrs. Xiao let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "That's good, it's not far away, as long as it works." ”

"If my uncle wants to worship the Buddha, my nephew will arrange it in advance." Xiao Heng hurriedly said: "There are a lot of pilgrims in Gushui Temple, and there are many rogues in Qingzhou, so naturally you have to be careful, if your uncle and mother go, my nephew will send someone to prepare over there first, so as not to have too many people and eyes when you get it, and it is not good to worship the Buddha with peace of mind." ”

Mrs. Xiao thought for a while, nodded her head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll talk to your uncle first, and after a while, I'll go to Gushui Temple to worship the Buddha and pray for peace." He smiled softly and said, "I'm going to have to work hard for you then." ”

Xiao Heng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Uncle and mother are polite, my nephew can do some small things for my uncle, it's too late to be happy, let alone work hard." ”
