Chapter 348: The lakeside fires
Xie Yi can't leave Qizhou easily now, this is where his duty lies, if he leaves like this, Li Shimin will have to settle accounts with himself.
Not to mention stopping or quelling Li You's rebellion, at least catch Wang Jundu and Yin Hongzhi and others, otherwise what did you do when you came to Qizhou? What's the result? I can't explain it when I go back.
The power to act cheaply is not taken casually, something must be done, and Li You's rebellion was an event that history had predestined, but it was only slightly advanced. So there is no need to feel any guilt, just do your best to deal with this matter and add points to yourself and Li Zhi.
As for Xu Xiaode and Xu Hui, they must leave Qizhou, it is too dangerous here, and it is really not suitable to stay. I don't have the energy and energy to take care of them.
"Father-in-law, Hui'er, I will let Yebei arrange for you to go first and go to Chang'an to reunite with Qi Dan."
"What happened?"
"If nothing happens, King Qi is going to rebel."
"Ahh The Xu family's father and daughter both widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief.
Xie Yi smiled bitterly: "I don't want to believe it, but there are all kinds of signs that there is such a possibility, Qizhou will be very dangerous, and you should not stay here anymore." ”
"What about you?" Xu Hui immediately asked rhetorically.
Xie Yi said: "Where the duty lies, I have to stay and do some things." ”
"Then what's the matter, if you don't go, I won't go." Xu Hui immediately resolutely objected.
"Hui'er, don't make trouble, it's dangerous here, I'm afraid I can't be distracted to take care of you, you go to Chang'an's house first and get familiar with Liwan and them."
Since what Xie Yi said was very reasonable, Xu Hui just kept shaking her head and didn't agree.
Xie Yi looked at Xu Xiaode for help, and didn't want Xu Tingshi to shake his head and said, "San Lang, we can't go either, as a thorn history." It is a great sin to rebel on the boundaries of the land and then walk away. ”
Xie Yi said: "Father-in-law, just go, the son-in-law has the holy decree issued by His Majesty in his hand, and he has the right to act cheaply, I order you to leave Qizhou, and I will take over the military and political power of Qizhou." ”
"That's not going to work either. Although you have the right to act cheaply, if you let me leave like this, few people will say that you are abusing your power for personal gain in the future. Xu Xiaode shook his head and said, "I can't let your reputation and future be affected because of me." ”
"Father-in-law is serious."
"San Lang don't say much, I'll stay and help you, counterinsurgency is a big deal, it's always good to have a helper." Xu Xiaode is also resolute.
Xu Hui also said: "It is a dangerous moment, if I leave here, if I don't share the hardships with San Lang, I will go back to Chang'an and my sisters will laugh at me." ”
"Nonsense."
Xu Hui said resolutely: "I don't care. I just want to stay, take care of your diet and daily life, so that you can have no distractions and do your best. ”
Seeing Xu Hui's attitude, Xie Yi was not reluctant, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, how could a pretty woman stay by her side without distractions? It's just a little more colorful on the battlefield, which is quite a bit of a Gone with the Wind.
Xie Yi pondered for a moment. I had to nod and say, "Since that's the case, it's okay, so be it." My father-in-law went on my behalf, and went to the nearby prefectures and counties with my cheap decrees, and if there was any change in Qizhou, he warned the assassin officials and local gentry not to associate with the rebels, and told them to be prepared to participate in the counterinsurgency. ”
There was a rebellion. If it's just a state of land, it's not a matter of worry, I'm afraid that a large area will be rolled in. As a result, the fire burns too far and causes too much damage, and the more the rebels control. The greater the strength, the more damage and threat it causes, the more it will escalate.
It is now best to keep the rebellion to a minimum, so that the greatest success will be. With the right to act cheaply, he naturally has the power to mobilize troops from nearby states and counties, Xie Yi has an impulse to try, and he doesn't know what it would be like to control the army to counter the rebellion.
Xu Xiaode immediately said: "Okay, I'll set off." ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first, although King Qi has objections, he has not yet fully launched." Xie Yi said: "But if it is really the opposite, the Qi Wangfu will definitely seek to seize the power of the military and government of Qizhou, or coerce the father-in-law to submit, or murder." So...... My father-in-law is staying here now, and sending someone to pretend to be back to the Shi Mansion first, which can be regarded as a temptation, so that we can deal with it calmly and reasonably. ”
"Okay!" Xu Xiaode is also very cautious, although there are now all kinds of signs that Li You, the king of Qi, will rebel, but after all, it has not yet been revealed. In the event that he finally gives up, or if there is any other unexpected situation, the counterinsurgency must not be rushed, and it is necessary to be fully prepared and respond in a timely manner, but it is absolutely impossible to deny the truth.
However, unexpectedly, the verification came so quickly, and the attendant pretending to be Xu Xiaode was assassinated on the way back to the Assassin's Mansion and was seriously injured and died.
When he received the news, Xu Xiaode himself was shocked, fortunately Xie Yi had foresight, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
And Xie Yi's face was heavy and said: "It's not good, the other party has already made a move, I'm afraid it's not safe here." ”
As soon as the words landed, Yebei also came to report urgently: "Ah Lang, there are assassins sneaking into the mansion, please quickly retreat to Daming Lake, and my subordinates have prepared ships there." ”
"Good!" Xie Yi hurriedly took Xu Xiaode and Xu Hui and withdrew to the shore of Daming Lake under the protection of his subordinates. Before leaving, Xie Yi instructed: "Don't resist hard and set fire to the house." ”
Without a moment's hesitation, Yebei immediately ordered someone to set fire, and the huge and gorgeous mansion was set on fire, and then turned into a sea of fire. The sudden fire stopped the assassins' advance, leaving a lot of time for Xie Yi and the others to escape, and the casualties of the Xie family guards in the mansion were greatly reduced.
Standing on the side of the ship, Xie Yi's face was pale, although he was not sure whether it was Li You, the king of Qi, or Wang Jundu, who did it, but since these people were so ruthless and wanted to take their lives, then they would not blame themselves for being polite.
Xu Xiaode on the side also had a heavy face, although he was nervous a moment ago, he was able to be calm, but after a while, the atmosphere suddenly changed completely, and now it is already the point of life and death.
Xu Hui was not frightened by this, but was a little sad, this mansion was very exquisite, but it was really nothing to the wealthy Xie family, there was no need to feel distressed because of this. But this is the place where she and Xie Yi fell in love, and these days are full of love here, leaving too many good memories.
As a result, now it is in a sea of fire, and it will be turned to ashes later, and I feel a little sad when I think about it, and I can't help but feel sad. Seeing this scene, Xie Yi comforted softly: "It's okay, don't be sad, when the matter is over, I will let people rebuild this house on the original site as it was, and then we will come back to live for a few days when we are free, how about it?" ”
"Hmm!" Xu Hui nodded lightly, this is already the best, not to mention that the important thing is not the house, but the considerate man beside him, with his love, everything else is not important. (To be continued.) )
