Chapter 232: Coercion
In Xiangyin City, there is peace, no one knows, behind this peace and tranquility, Xiangyin City is shrouded in a kind of blood and weirdness.
Liu Fa felt more and more hectic, big and small things in Xiangyin City, Liu Fa didn't dare to hand them over to others, Xiong Jiajun was now no news, and he didn't dare to use the people of the Cao family, so he could only let Jiang Baiyan and Xin He deal with it first, and only a few things that had to be passed by him would be reviewed in person.
The stove was full of coal, but Xin He still felt a little chilled, and he had been in this southwest province for a long time, but he couldn't stand this kind of weather once.
He waved his pen quickly, constantly rubbing his head, turning over and over the side of the paperwork, and always felt dissatisfied after writing.
"My lord, I have your letter!"
Xin He frowned, stopped the pen in his hand, and then glanced at the person who spoke.
The messenger saw that Xin He's face was not very good-looking, and his heart suddenly sudden, and then he lowered his body, held the letter above his head, and could not say a word.
Xin He sighed, and then said lightly: "Stand down!" ”
Inexplicably, he was faintly a little official, and after the messenger put the letter on the table, he quietly withdrew, Xin He glanced at the letter wrapped in fire paint, and was a little puzzled, but when he picked up the other documents. Suddenly I felt a little upset.
That's because of his family. Ever since he knew that he might have a sister, he had been sending people to track him down, but there had been no news, but after he received this letter, he had an inexplicable feeling that this letter might be related to his sister whom he had never met. This incident made him vaguely feel that something was wrong, and Xin He frowned secretly. clenched his fists.
"Your Excellency, the Great General, please go to the castle tower to discuss matters." The guard outside the door said softly.
Xin He reached out and took Liu Fan's order. Looked. The face does not change. He waved his hand and said, "I know, you can step down." The soldiers retreated, but Xin He sat for a moment, his eyes full of meaning. Waiting for the wick to burst, Xin He stood up. Tidy up your outfit and waist knife. Slowly stood up. It's like having a thousand pounds on your body. this night. Looks. It's not destined to be bland! He went out of the General's Palace. Do not lead soldiers. Walking alone, he walked to a narrow alley and hesitated for a moment. Strode into the alley to the end of the alley. See a small door. Reaching out and knocking a few times, no one opened the small door. In the middle of the courtyard there was a square table with an oil lamp on it.
Behind the table sat a man, short and dressed in green, as if thinking about something. Illuminated by a dim oil lamp. The face is cloudy.
Xin He frowned, and when he saw that it was indeed Liuhewei. With joy on his face, he took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Ah Da, it's really you, how can you ......?"
Before the words fell, the small door behind him slammed, and it was closed, and Xin He's body stiffened. Slowly look behind me. I saw a person standing by the door, looking at him with a smile, arching his hand slightly, and said very politely: "Mr. Xinhe, I've been looking up for a long time." ”
Xin He took two steps back, his face changed slightly, and said, "Who are you?" ”
Footsteps were rustling. Several people walked out one after another, and several strong men held torches. The dim courtyard was lit like daylight, and he didn't know any of the other people except Cao Kang.
Xin He pressed his hand to the hilt of the knife, ignoring the man in front of him. But he looked at Ah Da and said with a wry smile: "Ah Da, are you really looking for me?" Ah Da lowered his head and said with some shame: "Xin...... Mr. Xin, this son...... I'd like to talk to you about something......"
As he spoke, he pointed to the man who had just spoken, and the man was full of smiles, looking at Xin He, but he didn't say a word.
Xin He let out a long breath and relaxed his body, "What are you talking about?" ”
Ah Da walked up to the man, nodded a little stiffly, and then said: "This is the prince of Dali, Duan Gongzi!" ”
Xin He glanced at this son, nodded, and there was no smile on his face.
Without waiting for Xin He to speak, Cao Kang had already smiled and said: "Mr. Xin He, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie." Duan Gongzi didn't care about his previous suspicions. Deliberately recruit you to the palace for reuse, such as today's chaos. Duan Gongzi led the army into the southwest, the next step is to take the imperial capital and become the overlord of the Central Plains, Mr. Xin, you will be attached as soon as possible, it is better than doing nothing in Xiangyin, if Duan Gongzi is the emperor in the future. You and I are both founding heroes! ”
Xin He smiled, looked at Cao Kang with some contempt, and then shook his head and said, "Take the imperial capital, hehe, I'm just afraid that Duan Gongzi wants to plot against Guanzhong." Xiangyin is the springboard for enterprising Guanzhong, and Duan Gongzi has come all the way here. Most likely to pick me up Xiangyin. ”
Saying that he didn't look at Cao Kang again, Cao Kang was stunned, then stroked his beard and stopped talking.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Duan Gongzi finally laughed, he clapped his hands and looked at Xin He with appreciation: "Mr. Xin He." If you are talented, you will be able to break through the sky with one word. ”
Xin He smiled bitterly: "I just found out after the fact, and I mistrusted others." What a talent. ”
Ah Da was apologetic in his heart, but he just remained silent.
Duan Gongzi smiled: "I said that if you have it, you will have it, Xin He." You're smart. I don't talk around the bush either. I have invited you today to rely on your strength. Open the gates of the city and let the soldiers in. If you help me. In the future, glory and wealth. Promotion to knighthood is the first achievement. ”
'Choking' sounds. Xin He pulled out his waist knife. "What if I don't say yes?"
Duan Gongzi's eyes sneered, "Xin He." With your ability. I can't do more than three moves under my hands! ”
At this time, Gongzi is no longer like just now, and he still respectfully calls Xin He Mr.
Xin He no longer talks nonsense. In the midst of a loud roar. The knife is flickering. but retreated in the direction of Ah Da. Ah Da stood up and stepped aside, already letting Xin He rush out of a road, two strong men came forward to stop, but he cut down one person with a knife, and walked quickly in two steps.
It's already at the wall, and it's about to get up. The wind was blowing behind him. Xin and were shocked. Knowing that this son has already made a move, he doesn't care about himself. Slashed back with a backhand. The knife is fierce, straight as desperate!
Duan Gongzi made a clip. The single knife has been broken, soaring into the sky, and then stretching out his hand, pointing to make an eagle hook. Choke Xin He's throat. Xin He has been firmly pressed against the wall.
"Don't kill him!"
Ah Da shouted, rushed over, and then knelt down in front of Duan Gongzi.
Duan Gongzi smiled and let go of his palm. But it is not far from Xinhe's throat. Xin He's eyes were calm. But he didn't look at Ah Da. just said lightly: "Duan Gongzi, you can kill me." But if you want me to open the gates, hehe, wishful thinking! ”
"Do you want your life?"
Duan Gongzi sighed: "In troubled times. Where is loyalty? If Liufa can give you land, I can give it too. ”
The corners of Xin He's mouth grinned, and he said with some sarcasm: "Xin He can give me benevolence." Can you? ”
Ah Da is in a dilemma and doesn't know what to do. Ever since he lied to Xin and here. All the way. Xin He never looked at him again. didn't scold him, but because of this, it made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Xin He didn't want to say anything, his heart was cold, but it was more complicated, this southwest, it is really going to change, Ah Da appeared here, does it mean that Liuhewei, or the Mu family is also mixed with Dali, or, the four surnames, have reached a tacit understanding with them.
"Haha......"
A burst of clear laughter interrupted Xin He's recollection, he glanced at this child, the corners of his mouth raised, and he didn't say anything.
Duan Gongzi was not angry, and said lightly: "Is benevolence and righteousness very valuable, I don't know what benevolence is compared to ...... family."
Xin He's heart was a pang, and he was a little heavy. His eyes had already looked behind Duan Gongzi, and he saw two strong men holding a woman hostage, the woman had a pair of big eyes, but there was a little tiredness in her eyes!
Seeing this woman's face, a sense of familiarity came to his heart, Xin He looked at this woman, his eyes were a little excited, a little doubtful, and then he was about to walk towards this woman.
Duan Gongzi coughed lightly, the two men took a few steps back, Xin He was angry, and a few words came in and out between his teeth, "Duan Shizi, you are a self-proclaimed hero and hero, and you have the overlord of the Central Plains." Seek the ambition of the world, and be an upright teacher. Such a threat to others. Don't you think you're too mean? ”
Duan Gongzi was stunned, he obviously didn't understand why Xin He thought so, and then said indifferently: "Those who achieve great things are just informal." ”
The woman saw Xinhe. There is also a familiar feeling, she feels the breath of a person from this person, that's right, she is Jia Qing'er, Jia Zhongjing's daughter.
Jia Qing'er glanced at Xin He, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she said with some puzzlement: "You, who are you, why, why are you ......?" ”
Xin He's eyes showed pain, and he bit his lip, "Duan Shizi, you ......"
"Mr. Xinhe, I still say that. Liu Fa can give you land, and I can give it too, but in this troubled world. How can benevolence and righteousness live? ”
Duan Gongzi sighed, and said softly: "You are so smart. When you know that unscrupulous means can achieve hegemony, which one of Gaozu or Emperor Wen is not like this? If you follow the benevolence of the wife of the overlord of Chu, you will end up with a bird river killing herself. ”
Ah Da suddenly stepped forward and said, "Childe, please let Xin He's sister go." , even if we are unkind, but this kind of thing is done, which will inevitably chill the hearts of people all over the world. ”
Duan Gongzi's eyes narrowed, some killing intent burst out from his eyes, Duan Gongzi walked out alone, and said in a low voice: "Ah Da, you should do whatever it takes to become a great cause, Mr. Xin He has temporarily taken refuge in Liufa and left Liufa." Not a betrayal! Since you have followed your son. Obey his commands, and don't spoil a great thing because of a moment of righteousness! ”
