Between the flashes of firelight, Xiao Yungui's square face was red, and he moved a pestle to sit in front of the brazier, quietly looking at the swaying flames, without saying a word. The West Wang Niang beside him also had a calm face, staring at the flames in a daze.

The strange behavior of the West King and his wife made Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang look at each other a little, all the way out of Guangxi, Lin and Li Erjiang have been following the West King to fight, and they have never seen the deep appearance of the West King, and the two of them looked at each other and couldn't tell what the West King and the West Wang Niang were thinking.

"Have you read the proclamation of the demon slaying today?" In the end, it was Xiao Yungui who broke the silence, but he suddenly said that the announcement issued by the Wing King to kill the demon came up, which made Lin and Li a little confused.

Lin Fengxiang said: "His Royal Highness the Wing King has counted the crimes of the Qing Demon Governor Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue on the proclamation, a total of thirteen, just resisting the holy soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, burning the official warehouse and putting the people in fire and water, forcibly pulling the people for group training, and mutilating the people, these are the capital crimes that should be killed. His Royal Highness the Wing King denounced the crime of the Qing Demon in the proclamation, which is really happy. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded, and said casually: "Yes, the Wing King only entered the city the day before yesterday, and yesterday the king ordered him to supervise and kill the demons, but today he can collect so many accusations against the demons Luo Bingzhang, how did he do it alone?" ”

Li Kaifang shook his head and said, "Did the King of the West forget?" This proclamation was written by Huang Yukun, the noble uncle of the Wing King, and there were also Zhang Suimou, Liu Chengfang and others to help, not the Wing King alone. ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, and then said: "Yes, a good man and three gangs, the Wing King is so blessed, there are many good helpers under him." ”

These words obviously stung Lin and Li, and Lin Fengxiang first said indignantly: "The King of the West said this, isn't it cold to our two brothers? Our army in front of the West Palace is also a lot of capable generals. ”

Li Kaifang heard that Xiao Yungui seemed to have something to say, and frowned: "The king of the west treats our old brothers like brothers and sisters, and they kill from Jintian to Changsha together, and the younger brother asks himself that Wencai is not as good as the people in the wing hall, but the king of the west wants to let the younger brother go into battle to kill the enemy, and the younger brother will not have the slightest complaint." ”

Xiao Yungui patted the two of them on the shoulders at the right time, and said in a deep voice: "I know that among the generals of the former army, the two of you think about this king the most, and you have the same heart as this king, but can you be like Huang Yukun and Zhang Suimou of the Wing Palace, and you also know everything about this king, and you know everything?" Tonight, our brothers spread out and said, no one should hide it. ”

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang glanced at each other, Li Kaifang hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "The King of the West is worried about the King of Heaven and the King of the East coming to Changsha tomorrow?" ”

Xiao Yungui didn't say anything, raised his eyes to look at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, and asked rhetorically, "What will happen when the Heavenly King and the Eastern King arrive?" ”

Li Kaifang looked at Lin Fengxiang, gritted his teeth and said: "King Xi, the capture of Changsha is the first achievement of the Kingdom of Heaven, and we have already sent out the documents, but at this time, the Chenzhou brigade is almost in Changsha, and the King of Heaven and the King of the East have not even praised a word, and the two younger brothers know that this is because the King of Heaven and the King of the East are afraid that the prestige of the King of the West is too high, and they deliberately suppress it." After the arrival of the Chenzhou brigade tomorrow, I am afraid that the king of the west will be even more angry, and the younger brother is not angry, so he is talking nonsense. ”

Lin Fengxiang said in a low voice: "King Xi, to tell you from the heart, you are the backbone in the hearts of my two brothers, and the King of the West and the Heavenly Brother possess such glorious things, and the two younger brothers are even more respectful." But the king of the west and the king of heaven and the king of the east are brothers and sisters, so sometimes even if the two of us see something, we don't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of ruining the friendship between the king of the west and the king of heaven and the king of the east. ”

Xiao Yungui was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, these two people were extremely loyal to him, but Xiao Chaogui, a big man, didn't know how to communicate with each other, so he had a layer of window paper between the two, and the two of them were afraid of Xiao Chaogui's close relationship with Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, so they didn't dare to say some hidden words. Seeing that the two of them were worried after saying what they were thinking, Xiao Yungui said earnestly: "The two brothers can say these words to this king so heartily, this king has already understood in his heart, and this king also treats the two brothers as confidants." Yes, this king is indeed worried that the king of heaven and the king of the east will have a thorn in the heart of this king, and even the brothers of the west hall will be angry. ”…,

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang both breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the King of the West thought the same as the two of them, Li Kaifang muttered: "The King of the West is fighting for the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere, and every time he leads the front army first, which battle is not the first to charge and take the lead?" Our former army can be said to have outstanding military achievements, and the name of the king of the West is also spread to the whole army. But in this way, the king of the west will be jealous. After the return of the king of the south, it seems that the attitude of the king of heaven and the king of the east towards the king of the west has become even more strange. Take this attack on Changsha as an example, the Chenzhou brigade has 30,000 or 40,000 people, and our former army subordinates also have more than 5,000 people, but the king of heaven and the king of the east only let the king of the west bring more than 1,800 people to fight, and the rest of the men and horses of the former army have not taken advantage of the situation to be merged into the Chinese army, and they are led by Uncle Lai Guo? This is a clear plan to cut the military power of the king of the west. ”

Xiao Yungui was silent, and he also learned about what Li Kaifang said from the mouth of the Wing King. The former soldier Ma who he originally commanded stayed in Chenzhou, and was merged into the Chinese army by the king of the east, and let Lai Hanying, the wife and uncle of the king Hong Xiuquan, lead it. Lai Hanying is the younger brother of Lai Xiying, the wife of the King of Heaven, who has read poetry and books, read literature and ink, studied medicine and medicine, and has been trading in Guangxi for a long time. After the Jintian Incident, he was awarded the title of internal medicine and served as the commander of the army. But at the beginning of October, the king of the east ordered that the old army of the king of the west be placed under the command of Lai Hanying, and Lai Hanying was also promoted to the fourth commander of the palace.

Lai Hanying is considered to be a close friend of the King of Heaven, Xiao Chaogui only left on the front foot, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses in the front army on the back foot were assigned to Lai Hanying's command, and Lai Hanying was also promoted because of this, and I don't know what rights the King of Heaven and the East King have to trade in this, anyway, Xiao Yungui only feels cold in his heart.

Lin Fengxiang said gloomily: "To be honest, King Xi, Kaifang and I talked about this matter in private, and we both felt a little cold, our credit for conquering Changsha is not as good as Uncle Lai's credit?" Then he looked up at Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er, and then lowered his head and said: "King Xi, if these words had been put in the past, Kaifang and I would not dare to say it to you, but now it seems that we can't help but say it, there are people in the kingdom of heaven who are crowding out King Xi......"

Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Are you talking about someone referring to the King of Heaven and the King of the East?" ”

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were both slightly startled, turned their heads to look at Hong Yun'er, but saw that her face was as usual, as if she already knew about it, they were silent, and it could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Xiao Yungui took a deep breath and sighed: "That's why I only found two brothers to discuss tonight, what should this king do now?" ”

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang looked at each other, and didn't dare to say more, Hong Yun'er suddenly said: "Don't worry, two brothers, I and King Xi are of the same heart, although I quarrel with him on weekdays, but in front of the big right and wrong, I listen to him, the two brothers have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Seeing Hong Yun'er say this, Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang were both relieved, it would be great if what the two said tonight reached the ears of the King of Heaven and the King of the East, but fortunately, the King of the West and the Queen of the West understood the current situation, and the two seemed to have become different from the original, surprisingly consistent.

At that moment, Li Kaifang muttered: "The West King has already been arranged in advance to occupy the dangerous terrain in the south and east of Changsha City, at first Brother Lin and I still wondered why as soon as the Yiwang arrived, we had to go out of the city in advance to guard the danger, it turned out that the West King had already prepared." As long as we occupy the dangerous point in the south of the city, then control the Xiangjiang pontoon bridge, and enter Yuelu Mountain in the west, so that the people and horses in the west hall can advance and retreat freely outside the city. King of the West, little brother, guess you are thinking, if the King of Heaven and the King of the East are really persecuted, they will part ways, right? ”

Sure enough, he was still a fine person, but Lin Fengxiang seemed to understand now, and looked at Xiao Yungui with some consternation.

"If this king has such a plan, what do the two brothers think?" Xiao Yungui took out the dry tobacco and lit it, frowned and said, "If you can't go, what should you do?" ”

Lin Fengxiang hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, the junior brother still advises you not to leave, isn't it good to follow the team?" The younger brother thinks that the king of heaven and the king of the east may just think about it for a while, and when he sees the king of heaven and the king of the east tomorrow, maybe there will be a turnaround? ”…,

Xiao Yungui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "What I said to you tonight, you are all confidant brothers, so I have this heart-to-heart remark, the King of Heaven and the King of the East will see this queen tomorrow, maybe there will be a turnaround, but what about later?" Our West Temple is always rushing to the front, when is it a head? For the sake of following the king's brothers, this king should also think about a way out. ”

Li Kaifang glanced at Lin Fengxiang and said: "Brother Lin, the king of the west is right, it is naturally beneficial to follow the team, but there are also unpleasant places, since the breakthrough of Yong'an, these old brothers in our West Hall have not been able to raise their heads, didn't the Heavenly Father say that everyone is an ordinary brother and sister?" Then why has our West Temple always had military exploits, but the reward has not been delayed? If it goes on like this, it is better to really find another way. The West King is wise and brave, leading us more than 1,000 brothers to conquer Changsha, and now counting the new army, we have 10,000 people, where can we not kill the demons? Even if we give up Changsha, we can still build another provincial city. ”

Lin Fengxiang frowned and said: "Kaifang, people persuade people to fight and not to persuade and divide, why do you always think about separating the family?" Although the Heavenly King and the East King are a little bit kind of treatment for us and the old brothers of the West Palace, we finally walked out of Jintian together, is it appropriate to leave the brigade at this time? ”

Xiao Yungui suddenly said: "Needless to say, the two brothers have made up their minds, I will tell the two of you the way back, and it can be said that the two brothers are in their hearts, as long as the two brothers tell the truth to the king, are they willing to follow the king?!" ”

Xiao Yungui's words were stiff and majestic, and he looked at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang with sharp eyes, which shocked the hearts of the two, and from Xiao Yungui's resolute gaze, the two understood that Xiao Yungui was very strong-willed, and people couldn't refuse.

Li Kaifang first stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King Xi, the little brother must follow to the death and never regret it!" ”

Then Lin Fengxiang also slowly stood up and said: "King Xi, although the younger brother does not approve of leaving now, but the King of the West has made up his mind, and the younger brother will go to the soup and swear to follow the King of the West to the death, with the love of all my brothers!" ”

Xiao Yungui could see that Lin Fengxiang's words were more heartfelt, while Li Kaifang was more tactful, he must have seen that he was no longer the king of the West who only knew how to fight in the past, and he had greater ambitions in his chest, so he simply followed to the end, so he would definitely be able to do something big.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and held the arms of the two and said: "Okay, good, good, in the future, our brothers will go down the same road, one will be prosperous, and one will be lost!" ”
