"That's not for sure." The middle-aged man's eyes rolled and said, "Brother Xue, we came this time to resist the Metropolitan Governor with Brother Xue, he wants to use troops and we don't care, but he can't touch our property." Otherwise, we will play the Son of Heaven, even if he is really trusted by the Son of Heaven, but we are also the people of the Great Sui, pay taxes on time, and we can't deal with us innocent people! ”

"Yes, yes, if he harms our interests, we will play the Son of Heaven together." The people around also said loudly, they were all strong people in Jincheng, and they didn't know how much good land they had in their hands, so at this time, they naturally didn't want Li Xin to come and destroy their interests.

"If you want to come to the Metropolitan Governor of Renyi, it won't be like this." Xue Ju glanced at He Zhi and said with a smile: "What's more, we can't make decisions about this matter, it's better to find Hao County's order, what do you think?" ”

"What Brother Xue said is very true." Wu Gui nodded and said.

"Tomorrow, I want to invite Brother Xue to meet Hao County Order, what does Brother Xue think?" He Zhi smiled and said to Xue Ju, but in private, he made a look.

"Okay, okay." Xue Ju thought about it and nodded and said, before sending everyone out.

"Erlang, serve tea." Xue Ju waited for everyone to leave before he said to Xue Renyue. He sat down again, Xue Renyue was surprised, but saw that outside the hall, He Zhi walked in slowly, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea.

"Brother He, please." Xue Ju pointed to the seat next to him and said.

"Brother Xue, we're going to be unlucky this time." He Zhi didn't see the smile on his face just now, but his face was gloomy, and he said: "Li Xin'er is here, others may lose money and land, but you and I lose the foundation!" ”

"How's that to be?" Xue Ju secretly ridiculed the other party, this guy is more greedy than himself, and he also does some business anyway, this guy made a fortune purely by relying on bandits. Once Li Xin's army came, the first unlucky one was this guy, who lost the bandits, and He Zhi was not far from death.

"Brother Xue, if he comes, you and I will die, do you think your deeds can escape Li Xin's eyes?" He Zhi's face was gloomy and uncertain, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes, he was very afraid of Li Xin's arrival, but there were some things he didn't dare to do, so he pulled Xue Ju.

"He is the governor of the imperial court, sitting on one side, if something goes wrong, the emperor will definitely investigate it, and at that time, you and I will still be unlucky." Xue Ju shook his head and said. It's not that he hasn't considered this idea, but he quickly dispelled it, killing a Grand Governor of the Western Regions, such that once something happens, the entire empire will lock its eyes on Jincheng.

"Hey, hey! As long as the captain can make a move, the position of the governor of Lanzhou is the captain's. He Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know if the general is willing to make a move?" ”

"The governor of Lanzhou?" Xue raised his eyes and glanced at He Zhi, and immediately knew that this He Zhi was probably ordered from above, and within the imperial court, I am afraid that some people do not like Li Xin to reach Jincheng safely and take over the power of the entire Western Regions.

"Brother He, this matter is very important, I still have to think about it." Although Xue Ju was interested in moving, this matter was very important, and he still had to think about it seriously.

"Hehe, this Li Xin is really stupid, you know, his soldiers and horses are not bad, this time the vanguard army has 20,000 people, and his own escort team is only a few thousand." He Zhi said with a smile.

"Even thousands of people can't be eaten by you and me." Xue Ju said without thinking. There are thousands of thieves under his command, but can these bandits compare to Li Xin's hundred-fought lions?

"Li Xin's soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers, and it is almost impossible to rely on these people, but there are tens of thousands of people!" He Zhi said viciously: "It is equivalent to a Lanzhou governor, and it is still worth spending some money." ”

"Where can you get so many men? Although you and I have some horses, they add up to only a few thousand, and we don't know how many people Li Xin brought, but there are still 5,000 people. How many men, 10,000, or 20,000 do we need to be sure of victory, do we have that many? Xue Ju said dissatisfied. It's not that he doesn't want to deal with Li Xin, but that's not something that can be solved by rushing over.

"General Xue, in this era, there is one thing that is very important, we don't have it but others have it, as long as we spend some money. What does the Steward think? He Zhi said with a smile: "In the vicinity of my Jincheng, but there are many people who are willing to take over this errand, such as Zhong Lishu, Dangxiang, Tuyuhun and other Qiang people in Minshan Qiang, but there are many people waiting for the general to save them, they lack all kinds of clothes in their clan, Li Xin came with the army this time, and the property he brought with him is also countless, as long as these people have a little money, it is still easy to get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, these guys are fierce and good at fighting, and they should be a big help for us." What's more, I heard that the general has a very good relationship with Minshanqiang! Tens of thousands of horses are at your fingertips! ”

"Killing a metropolitan governor, such a crime is probably difficult to clear up!" Xue Ju was silent for a while, and then looked at He Zhi curiously and said.

"This noble person has a very good foundation in the court, and none of them can be compared to Li Xin." He Zhi knew that Xue Ju wanted to know who was behind him, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "They dealt with Li Xin not only for personal vendetta, but also for the imperial court. You also know that the emperor is about to conquer Goguryeo here, once the war breaks out, the people are not living, these people will find a way to kill Li Xin in order to prevent the emperor from using force, so that the situation in the northwest is in chaos, and the emperor will definitely not attack Goguryeo in order to maintain the security of Guanzhong and the northwest. He Zhi faintly pointed out that behind him was not a person, but a group of people, a group of people who could fight with the imperial power.

Xue Ju's eyes lit up, if there was only one person, Xue Ju would definitely be cautious, but if it was a group of people, he would not be afraid, no matter how powerful Li Xin was, it was impossible to compare with these people, and even he could guess that the person behind it was probably the so-called family. Only the family has such a powerful force to deal with a governor of the Western Regions.

"This is the upfront payment of those people for the head of the house." He Zhi took out a piece of paper from his arms, and Xue Ju took it, but saw that it was a letter of appointment, appointing himself as the general of Jincheng Yinglang. This is a more majestic official position than Captain Jincheng, and he has already entered the middle and low-level military positions of the Great Sui. Xue Ju was tempted all of a sudden.

"There is also a part of the money to buy Jin Chengqiang has already arrived on the way, and it will take about five days to reach the general's mansion." Seeing that Xue Ju had accepted the letter of appointment, He Zhi immediately relieved himself and said with a smile.

"Okay." Xue Ju agreed to come down without thinking about it at this time.

"Then congratulations to the Steward." He Zhi and Xue Ju looked at each other and smiled.
