"Sooner or later, I'm going to be killed by you." Li Xiluan's face was flushed, and she sorted out the messy clothes on her body.

Wei Qiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva again when he saw Li Xiluan's charming face, and the corners of his eyes smiled as if he was reminiscing about the ** just now.

Li Xiluan straightened out her clothes, looked at Wei Qiao with spring eyes like water, pursed her cherry lips and patted her undulating chest and exhaled quietly. Today, she originally planned to go to worship the Buddha with Wu Qingning, but she didn't expect to be forcibly pulled into the carriage by Wei Qiao as soon as she went out.

Wei Qiao saw that she was tidying up, so he smiled lightly and opened the curtain on the side. Since the King of Jin was banned a few days ago, the Yulin army in Jinling City has instantly increased, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, and the armor is out of the warehouse, looking like martial law.

This time, I'm afraid it's not just Weiqiao, almost all the people in Jinling understand that this time it's really a mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings.

"Uncle, I have already transferred Jinling's business outward." Li Xiluan also saw the swords of the soldiers outside, frowned slightly, and said softly.

Wei Qiao nodded with a deep sigh, but then said with a smile: "Don't worry about it first, the transfer that should be transferred, and the one that can't be transferred will be hidden for the time being, and I will talk about it when I see my father-in-law." ”

Li Xiluan naturally knew the weight of the martial disciples, and bowed his head slightly.

In fact, it is not far from the Wei Mansion to the Horse Mansion, but it is only five miles, and it usually takes three or four minutes to arrive, but this time it took more than an hour, and almost all of them were dealing with the inventory inspections everywhere.

I don't know why, Li Xiluan and Wu Qingning seem to get along very well, as soon as Li Xiluan entered the door, the two walked inside arm in arm, and they could vaguely hear Wu Qingning asking Li Xiluan something.

Wei Qiao can't figure it out, so he doesn't think about it, anyway, it's his own daughter-in-law.

―――――― it took a few days, and Wei Qiao finally came up with a rough sand table that imitated Daqi.

The east is the sea, the west is the countries of the Western Regions, the south is the poisonous miasma, the north is the grassland, except for Daqi, the other four sides of the guard are basically directly smoothed, there is no way, there is too little information that can be found.

According to the news from the past few days, Wei Qiao stood on the edge of the sand table, and according to his understanding and the information in various inquiries, Wei Qiao slowly planted various flags, and thought slowly while inserting.

After the insertion, Wei Qiao condescendingly looked at the overall situation, and found that the green banner representing the King of Jin was completely surrounded by the red banner representing the emperor! Naturally, this is a conclusion drawn by ignoring the power of Fu Li and the martial disciples.

Wei Qiao held his chin and looked at the sand table and thought quietly.

The situation in Daqi has undoubtedly reached a critical point, and if this critical point is handled well, it will naturally go to the good side, but if one is not careful, it will inevitably be a catastrophe!

"Judging from the distribution map of these forces, the emperor should have been able to deal with the King of Jin a long time ago, but it has been delayed for so long, either he has other plans or has been contained." Wei Qiao stared at the sand table, and whispered with a flickering gaze: "It stands to reason that the emperor naturally has the advantage of occupying a position, and he can completely split and attack them one by one...... Unless, Fu Li and the martial disciples can form an alliance with all their hearts to fight against the imperial power, and there is also a Jin king watching from the side, so that the imperial power is forced to compromise with the courtiers, and the rat thrower has been delayed until now......"

"Young Master." Wei Qiao was groaning, and suddenly there was a crisp knock at the door and a tentative shout of the little girl.

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, secretly exhaled, turned around and walked towards the door.

"What's wrong?" Wei Qiao smiled and opened the door. Generally speaking, the little girl will not come to disturb him when he is alone in the study.

The little girl's big eyes also flashed with confusion, and she said, "Young Master, Lord Qin of the Ministry of Rites has sent news that Zhou Shaoyang is leaving Jinling." ”

'Oh' Wei Qiao's eyes flickered, Zhou Shaoyang is the family of King Jin, he is leaving Jinling to return to Wuzhou, what did Qin Yun do when he came to tell him the news?

Wait, Wei Qiao's heart suddenly moved, why did Zhou Shaoyang return to Wuzhou with such fanfare at this time? And Qin Yun specially sent someone to tell him the news, what does it mean?

Wei Qiao took his chin and paced around the room.

Suddenly, Wei Qiao paused, turned to the little girl and said, "Xiangling, go, call Xiu'er to me, immediately, immediately!" ”

Xiangling saw Wei Qiao's solemn face, and immediately turned around and ran away.

Wei Qiao walked to the sand table, stared at the green flag, and whispered to himself: "Now that you are a trapped beast, you let Zhou Shaoyang leave at this time, I'm afraid it's a gesture, you want to tell some people something, or the people in the shadows have already left Jinling to inform Wuzhou......"

Wei Qiao thought about it in his heart, but he didn't understand what kind of attitude Fu Li and the martial disciples had at this time, according to the previous practice, every time the emperor suppressed the king of Jin to a certain extent, the two of them joined forces to restrict the emperor. But this time, Wei Qiao obviously felt that Emperor Wenzheng's body was no longer good, and it was not far away in Daxing, facing the successor, the stable inheritance of Daqi, and the powerful ministers were still there, what kind of amazing move would he make?

Wei Qiao couldn't guess Zhou Yanzhao's movements, but he could only try to cooperate. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the civil strife in Daqi, not to mention that the Xiongnu who were recuperating in the summer of last year would inevitably come in a big way, and the Daqi itself, which had been established for two hundred years, had already decayed, and once the civil strife would inevitably affect the entire Daqi, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Uncle." Xiu'er walked in heroically, looking at Wei Qiao's pretty face with two shallow dimples, which were very good-looking.

Wei Qiao smiled faintly, this girl made a meritorious service last time, eat, drink and have fun, and killed him three thousand taels of silver in one go, and her eyes didn't blink.

"Xiu'er has a task for you." Wei Qiao walked over with a smile.

"Uncle said." Xiu'er's big eyes were shining, shining.

Wei Qiao immediately guessed what she was thinking, although she was not a stingy person, thinking about the three thousand taels of white flowers and silver just splashing out, she still muttered in her heart.

However, there was really no one else in this matter except Xiu'er Weiqiao, so she had to whisper it in her ear.

When the little girl heard this, her small mouth flattened and she seemed to be a little disappointed, and then she looked up at Wei Qiao, her big eyes kept blinking, and she stretched out her five white tender fingers and shook them, and said, "Five hundred taels." ”

Looking at the little girl's flickering eyes, Wei Qiao didn't bother to bargain with her, and said directly: "I'll go find Qingning." ”

"I'll go immediately." When the little girl heard this, she immediately turned around and ran, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wei Qiao smiled lightly, then turned around and stood in front of the sand table.

"Hey, things are getting more and more interesting." Wei Qiao held his chin and looked at the sand table in front of him, especially the layout of the martial apprentice and Fu Li.

Although this layout is only on the surface, but through the bright side, you can guess the hidden means, among the four major forces, the emperor is the strongest, the martial disciples are second, Fu Li follows, and the king of Jin lasts. If Emperor Wenzheng wants a smooth transition, he must stabilize Fu Li and the martial disciples, and it is naturally a strong suppression for King Jin, but is it really that easy and simple?

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, while Wei Qiao was pondering, a crisp sound sounded in his ears.

Wei Qiao was stunned, and then saw Wu Qingning, who was dressed in white, with cold eyebrows and cold eyes, but still adding a refreshing and clean young woman's charm. Wei Qiao smiled faintly, reached out to wrap his arms around her slender willow waist, pointed to the sand table in front of him and said, "Look at this." ”

Wu Qingning had actually seen this sand table a long time ago, but he didn't care about it, but now his eyes fell on the sand table, and he looked at it quietly, and his pretty face couldn't help but show a hint of strangeness.

Looking at the hills, looking at the plains, and looking at the various states and counties marked by various thin lines, Wu Qingning blinked prettyly, and said with slight uncertainty, "This is the map of Daqi." ”

Wei Qiao heard a hint of surprise in her voice, and said with a smile: "Yes, those flags represent various forces. This thing is called the sand table, and it must be carried by those who march and fight. ”

Without waiting for Wei Qiao to finish speaking, Wu Qingning's gaze couldn't be taken off. She is also a family of warriors, and this kind of attraction to her can be said to be fatal.

"Here." After a long time, Wu Qingning suddenly pointed to an open tunnel in a state and county, and then planted the red flag.

Wei Qiao was stunned, and when he saw it, it turned out to be the emperor's countermeasure to the martial artists.

After Wu Qingning finished the first sentence, he didn't say anything more. Then he quickly picked up the flag and planted it on the sand table, and it didn't take long for the two little girls to use up the various flags they had made in two or three days.

Wu Qingning pursed his lips and glanced at Wei Qiao as if he was still unsatisfied.

Wei Qiao immediately said, "Wait." After saying that, he turned around and went out, called the two little girls, and asked them to take their things outside and continue to do it.

The two little girls took the things on the table and immediately made them quickly. I have to say that although Xiangling likes to be naughty, her movements are not slow, and she quickly made a few to send to Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao nodded, then handed the flag to Wu Qingning, then stared at her hand, looking at the flags on the sand table one by one.

With the fall of the flag, the power of the four parties became more and more obvious, but it became more and more chaotic, the strength of the four people was still the strongest of the emperor, followed by the martial disciples, followed by Fu Li, and the queen of the King of Jin, but the power of the four people is completely you have me and I have you, and they are dependent on each other, and they are simply involved in the whole body, and it is difficult to say who has the advantage and who is the disadvantage. But the emperor still has the ability to make dumplings for King Jin in one fell swoop and swallow them in one go.

With the busy work of the two little girls, Wu Qingning inserted the sand table full, and even planted several flags in the southeast, northwest and northwest outside of Daqi, including those of the King of Jin, the emperor, and the martial apprentice Fu Li.

Wei Qiao looked at it for a while, then took out a blank piece of paper, pencil, and drew the distribution map of each force on the paper, through the distribution map of forces, Wei Qiao found more intuitively that the emperor's strength seems to be able to completely overwhelm any two of them, if one of them is not neutral or Emperor Wenzheng is determined to be reckless, the three can be divided and cleaned up.

After a long time, Wu Qingning suddenly looked up at Wei Qiao and said, "I want to bring it to my father." ”

Although this sentence is a declarative sentence, there is a taste of asking for advice from a married husband in it.

Apparently, she saw only the military in it, and did not find politics. Wei Qiao hugged her slender waist and smiled indifferently, and said, "You can take care of all the things in our family, and you can calculate them yourself." ”

The corners of Wu Qingning's mouth also showed a faint smile, and he said softly.

Listening to this joyful 'um', Wei Qiao's mood also became happy, and said, "When I go back, I will also go to see my father-in-law." ”

Wu Qingning looked at Wei Qiao and said softly: "Tomorrow, many of my father's subordinates will come to Jinling tomorrow." ”

Wei Qiao's heart moved, remembering the words that the emperor asked him to convey to the martial disciples, and looked at Wu Qingning's eyes and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Wu Qingning blinked, seemed to see through what Wei Qiao was thinking, and said simply and clearly: "Father, the emperor, Uncle Fu, I want you to join the army." ”

Army? Wei Qiao's face turned strange, his surname is a son, Wu can't carry a knife into battle, Wen can't command an army, how could these three let him join the army?

Looking at Wei Qiao's strange face, Wu Qingning said, "I overheard what my father said. ”

Wei Qiao nodded, Fu Mingzheng didn't tell him about this matter, and he didn't know much about Wu Qingning.

At lunchtime, Wei Qiao, Wu Qingning, Li Xiluan, and the three of them sat together, like a family.

Wei Qiao looked at the two people who were getting along harmoniously, and the big stone in his heart quietly landed, seeing that both of them had pretty faces like flowers, and their postures were hard to find in the world, and he inevitably had a trace of pride in his heart.

"I asked Xiu'er to go out and do something." Wei Qiao naturally didn't think that Wu Qingning didn't know that Xiu'er was gone, and said with a smile while eating.

Wu Qingning nodded lightly and did not answer.

Li Xiluan naturally sandwiched a piece of meat for Wei Qiao, and said softly: "Uncle, I heard that many people who have gone north have evacuated the north. ”

Wei Qiao picked up the bowl and nodded, and said, "The north is mixed, I guess someone heard something." ”

Now Jinling is quiet before the storm, and there is any news. In addition, the Huns moved when they heard the wind, and all kinds of rumors were naturally rampant.

Li Xiluan pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "But I heard that Chen Ting did not come back. ”

Wei Qiao glanced at Li Xiluan in some surprise, he didn't expect him to notice Chen Ting, then thought about it, and said with a smile: "Regardless of him, even if he comes back except for that mansion, we won't let him do anything." ”

But as soon as Wei Qiao's words fell, his expression became a little strange.

Wu Qingning retracted the chopsticks that were serving Wei Qiao's vegetables, looked at Wei Qiao and blinked, as if wondering if he had done something wrong.

Wei Qiao quickly restrained the surprise and strangeness on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can eat it too." Wei Qiao also gave Wu Qingning a mouthful of food, and then picked up the bowl and quickly picked it up.

Li Xiluan watched from the side, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Young master, Xiu'er is back." The three of them were eating, and suddenly Xiangling outside walked in and whispered in Wei Qiao's ear.

Wei Qiao smiled and nodded, and before he could speak, Wan'er outside also walked in.

Wei Qiao looked up at her suspiciously, Wan'er gently walked into his ear and whispered, "Young Master, that Luhu is here." ”

"What a quick response." Wei Qiao's eyes smiled faintly with surprise, and said, "Invite him to the front hall for tea, and say that I will be there soon." ”
