Wang Chong frowned, looking at the old man in front of him suspiciously, no, to be exact, this person cannot be called an old man, although he has gray hair and wrinkled forehead, but his eyes are bright, his voice is loud, his physique is majestic, and his body does not have any signs of aging, according to Wang Chong's judgment, he is at most in his early forties, which is nothing more than looking a little old.

Wang Chong asked, "How does the gentleman know the general?" ”

The old man replied: "The general is seven feet high, heroic, hidden in the posture of the dragon and phoenix, the watch of the sky, in this stone city, there is such an appearance, only the general is the only one!" ”

Wang Chong did not show the slightest joy because of the other party's praise, but stared at him coldly: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, have you ever inquired about the general's person?" If you meet in Pingshui, Ben will not mind chatting with you, but if you want to get close to Ben Jiang purposefully, maybe, I will not let you see the sun tomorrow! ”

The 'old man' trembled with fear from Wang Chong's killing intent, and the young man next to him also changed his face, and hurriedly explained to Wang Chong: "General Mingjian, my father and son are only going out today to visit friends, and they are indeed only meeting by chance, and they are definitely not waiting here deliberately!" ”

Wang Chong nodded thoughtfully, he believed that this was true, after all, no one would know in advance about his visit to Hao Zhao, how could someone be so accurately blocked on the road from Hao Zhao's Mansion to the county government?

Wang Chong's face softened slightly, and said to the 'old man': "Ben General doesn't like to beat around the bush, just say your purpose!" ”

The 'old man' took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said without being arrogant or humble: "The villain's surname is Xie Mingxuan, he is a person from Huiji Shanyin, this is the dog Xie Cheng......"

"Wait, you said you're from San'in?" Wang Chong interrupted.

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Does the general have any questions?" ”

"How long have you been in Stone City?"

Xie Xuan smiled bitterly: "It's been half a month, and I should have returned to Shanyin early, but I happened to meet the general who attacked Jiangdong, and Niuzhu and Shicheng fell overnight. ”

Wang Chong asked, "Then where have you been living these days?" ”

When Xie Xuan heard this, he finally understood what Wang Chong was suspicious, since they were from Shanyin, they should have been staying in a friend's house in Shicheng these days, but today they said to Wang Chong that they were going out to visit friends, so wouldn't it be contradictory?

Xie Xuan smiled and replied: "The general doesn't know anything, the villain has assets, although he is a person from Shanyin, but in the stone city, he also has a house of his own!" ”

Wang Chong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Family? ”

The corners of Xie Xuan's mouth twitched, and he pretended to be calm: "The general wiped out twelve Huainan families in Wancheng last year, just to relieve his worries and strengthen Jinfan in a short period of time. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, he never thought that the old man in front of him would have such knowledge, and for a while, he also had a trace of curiosity, and said with a faint smile: "Go on." ”

"The general has been killing in Chaisang before, not because the general is thirsty for killing, but just to use this to deter the Jiangdong family." Xie Xuan paused as he spoke, "Originally, the villain didn't know the general's personality, but today, judging from the general's willingness to take the initiative to make way for a common person, it can be seen that the general is a benevolent and humble master. ”

Wang Chong glanced at Xie Xuan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You really have a purpose!" ”

After saying that, he walked forward, which made the faces of the Xie family's father and son stiffen instantly, until there was a fluttering sentence behind them, 'Cheng Yuan, take them back to the county government to wait', which finally made them breathe a sigh of relief.

——————————————————————

Back at the county office, Wang Chong did not immediately meet the Xie family's father and son, but asked the maid to boil water, planning to soak in a hot bath comfortably before making plans.

In the lobby, Ding Feng asked people to make a pot of hot tea for the Xie family father and son, and let them sit there and wait quietly.

Xie Cheng saw that there was no one left and right in the hall, frowned and asked Xie Xuan, "Father, is it too reckless to make this decision today?" ”

Xie Xuan took a sip of tea lightly, and said indifferently: "Weiping, wealth and wealth are in danger, since Sun Ce's death, the people of Jiangdong are panicked, first there is Shanyue rebellion, and then Jinfan sends troops to the south, the momentum is like a bamboo, and now, the Sun family is already in the waning mountains, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Jiangdong will fall into the hands of Jinfan sooner or later." It is undeniable that Sun Quan is indeed very capable, he appeases the people while making friends with the family, as long as he is given time, I believe that Jiangdong will be able to make a monolith, but unfortunately, time is not waiting, General Zhengdong will never give him this opportunity. ”

Xie Xuan said, the corners of his mouth inexplicably hooked up a sneer: "In fact, since Jinfan beheaded the five families who helped the Sun family defend the city in Chaisang, Jiangdong has already enlivened the minds of many families, General Zhengdong is very domineering, yes, if he can, no one wants him to be in charge of Jiangdong, but when the general trend is the trend, who would be stupid enough to gamble on the life and death of his family?" So the more he gets to the end, the less help Sun Quan will get, and the speed of Sun's decline will become faster and faster. ”

"General Zhengdong is a hero, he knows very well what he is doing, so although he forcibly banned the family's private soldiers, he did not seal the family's career, the sooner we take refuge, the greater the attention." Xie Xuan looked at Xie Cheng with earnestness, "Weiping, this time for my father's association, I implore General Zhengdong to leave you in Jinfan, firstly, to show General Zhengdong the sincerity of my Xie family, and secondly, it is also to allow you to integrate into Jinfan earlier, as long as General Zhengdong can succeed in the future, then you will be the minister of Conglong, and my Xie family will be prosperous from now on!" ”

The Xie family is just a strong man in Shanyin, not a wealthy family, so for officialdom, Xie Xuan has always had an almost persistent fanaticism, when he was young, Xie Xuan was filial piety, and was selected to enter Shangshutai as Shangshulang by virtue of his talent, but later Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and the disheartened Xie Xuan also resigned and returned to his hometown, but the obsession in his heart has never been put down, and this is also subtly changing Xie Cheng's thoughts.

Xie Cheng is honest and honest, he is a very filial person, since he was sensible, he has taken the burden of revitalizing the family on his shoulders, so at this moment, Xie Cheng did not have the slightest resistance to Xie Xuan's arrangement, but knelt down in front of Xie Xuan, and solemnly promised: "But please rest assured that the child will live up to his father's high expectations!"
