Chapter 16: The Vortex

Guo's mansion, in Guo Wei's study.

"It's a bit of a mess, but I'll tell you about it. Yesterday I arranged for a thousand soldiers to destroy a group of Khitans in Tongzhou who were fighting in the grass valley, and I didn't expect them to send people to attack the place where you were stationed outside the city at night. Guo Wei said a little worriedly.

Xi Wenshi really didn't expect Guo Wei to move so quickly, thinking that the Khitans had captured Kaifeng Mansion, and Liu Chengxun was named Kaifeng Yin, which also showed the determination of the Han State to recover the lost territory.

Guo Wei paced in the study, Xi Wenshi thought about his unfamiliarity with the current power of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the interweaving of martial arts forces, anyway, it was a troubled time, at least the current situation was not something that Xi Wenshi could control, and there was no bottom on what the situation would be tonight?

Now the Dao Sect, for whatever reason, is standing behind Xi Wenshi, and so is Guo Wei.

Zhao Kuangyin, Qingfeng and Mingyue popularized the martial arts forces and the imperial power relationship behind them with Xi Wenshi last night, and Xi Wenshi persuaded Guo Wei not to be so anxious for the time being, after all, he held the military power of the Han State, and he was in the frontal battlefield of the confrontation with the Khitan, so it was difficult not to mess up.

It is said that the current relationship between Guo Wei and Xi Wenshi is already a person on a chariot, and the Xi Wenshi that has crossed over will naturally not let history repeat itself.

Xi Wenshi is not in a hurry to go to the center of power, Xi Wenshi needs to hurry up and give away a truckload of items except seeds and scientific and technological products, which are also what they are interested in, seeds are too precious, Xi Wenshi has to have a plan not to let them spoil it, they will not use scientific and technological products, the rest is something to eat, drink and entertain, this is what they can use.

Xiwen Stone is eager to make the whole truck transparent, let them see the contents clearly, don't worry about the West Stone on the line, it is best to mark a piece of land for the West Stone and arrange a group of people to give the West Stone to ensure the safety of the West Stone for three or five years, so that the first five-year plan has to let the West Stone have a pure land to recuperate.

Guo Wei also knows very well that Xiwenshi is now the center of the whirlpool, and so many forces are gathered here today, on the one hand, it is to covet the early establishment of the Han Kingdom and the wait-and-see balance of power. It's more about the novelty and peculiarity that aragonite brings. With such a high-profile fanfare, he also saw that Xi Wenshi was smart and wanted to take the hot potato as soon as possible.

The housekeeper came in to report that the generals of Yecheng had gathered in the inner hall.

Thinking about it, Guo Wei accepted the aragonite and regarded it as his own person, and wanted to introduce the aragonite to his circle.

Xi Wenshi followed Guo Wei to the inner hall, and the eight immortal tables used in the dinner had been set up at the bottom, and there was one person sitting on each eight immortal table.

Seeing Guo Wei coming, these people stood up together.

"Meet Lord Guo, the envoy of the festival."

"Meet General Guo."

The salutations are different, the scribe calls Lord Guo, and the military general calls General Guo. Wei Renpu is the first civil official under Guo Wei. The generals were headed by Guo Wei's nephew Li Chongjin, Li Yun, Guo Chong, Fan Aineng, He Zheng, and two young generals Zhang Yongde (Guo Wei's little son-in-law) and Ma Renyu.

Guo Wei motioned for Xi Wenshi to come closer, stood in front of the white tiger chair, and introduced to his subordinates: "I think everyone knows that this Xiwen Shi Xigongzi is my eldest son-in-law, and everyone will be close to each other in the future." "Between the words, he didn't treat Xi Wenshi as a subordinate, which was a bit unexpected by Xi Wenshi.

Xi Wenshi hurriedly saluted everyone with his fists, and said modestly: "I have to take care of you in the future, but I am polite." ”

Guo Wei nodded slightly to Xi Wenshi, and then said to the two young generals, Zhang Yongde and Ma Renyu: "Zhang Yongde and Ma Renyu listen to the order. ”

Zhang Yongde and Ma Renyu hurriedly saluted.

"In the future, the two of you will follow Xigongzi and wait for Xigongzi's dispatch."

The two young generals looked happy and shouted.

Guo Wei turned to Xi Wenshi and said, "You go and arrange it first, and I will arrange the defense in the city in advance." ”

Xi Wenshi hurriedly saluted and went down to the hall. Zhang Yongde and Ma Renyu went out with Xi Wenshi.

Hey, that's two more henchmen.

Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others were in front of the shadow wall, and when they saw Xi Wenshi coming out, they hurriedly greeted him. The sun was overhead, it should be twelve o'clock at noon, and Xi Wenshi hurriedly introduced his followers to meet them and went out of the city together.

On the way out of the city, Xi Wenshi asked Zhang Yongde and Ma Renyu what strengths they had, Zhang Yongde, as Xi Wenshi's cheap brother-in-law, was not angry, and modestly said that he was okay to ride and shoot immediately, but Ma Renyu said that he had a lot of strength.

Xi Wenshi remembered that the martial arts pill that the sworn brother gave Xi Wenshi was a tripod, so he took it out and handed it to Ma Renyu, and said, "My martial arts pill is a ding, do you see if it is suitable?" ”

Ma Renyu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Gongzi Xi, I am born with divine power, and I haven't taken the Martial Pill?" After speaking, he couldn't wait to swallow it, and with a loud shout, a bronze tripod appeared in his hand, engraved with the pattern of the leopard on all sides, and he looked up to the tripod handle, which was also interesting. But seeing Ma Renyu holding the tripod foot in the palm of his hand, and turning the tripod foot with his thumb, this tripod is whirring and rotating in his hand, it is really a divine power.

Outside the West Gate, it is very lively.

The curtains of the new shadow puppet show have long been erected, and the previously demarcated area is already full, and the vacated area is full of people who carry food to walk back and forth, shouting for business. On the official road out of the city, there was a carriage and many people on horseback watching, and the Taoist priest and a team of soldiers and horses left behind by the Taoist sect were guarding near the big truck, waiting solemnly for a few people.

Although it is not yet summer, the noon sun is still very strong, let these people wear all kinds of hats and sit dry, although it is not particularly hot, Xi Wenshi thought about it and began to play a movie, walked to the side of the big truck, the breeze and the bright moon were busy blocking in front of Xi Wenshi, beware of strangers approaching the big truck.

Among the strangers, there was a frivolous person, the paper fan in his right hand was rhythmically tapping his right hand, and he said with a smile: "When did this become the world of the Taoist Sect?" ”

Li Yu whispered next to Xi Wenshi: "This is the best of the three generations of great disciples of Confucianism, named Liu Yineng. It is said that the Wuli Pill is orange, and he has taken four pills, and he is good at light body kung fu and is good at secret weapons. It is a family that supports my Southern Tang. ”

Without Xi Wenshi coming forward, the Taoist priest of the Taoist Sect surrounded a Dao, and Li Yu stepped forward and said: "Isn't this the ability of Confucianism?" This car belongs to my fourth brother Xiwen Shixi Gongzi, and Daozong Huang Sanlang is my sworn eldest brother, I don't know what Brother Liu has to say? ”

This time it was fried, presumably the sworn brother Huang Sanlang was famous in the rivers and lakes, and the few people around the big truck hurriedly retreated and hid by the side of the carriage. Only Liu Yi was left standing there awkwardly, without beating the fan, and smiled at Li Yu: "Who is here in my Dao?" It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, I think it's noon, the scenery of the west gate of Yecheng is good, and the poetry is great, ready to chant a poem? The six princes are here, and I don't dare to cross over. ”

That's right, Li Yu's literary brilliance in the Southern Tang Dynasty is just now, not to mention that he is still the sixth prince.

Li Yu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Liu Yineng stepped forward and said: "Sixth prince, His Royal Highness the eldest prince has also arrived in Yecheng, and is arranging people to find you?" ”

Li Yu said happily: "My eldest brother is also here, where is he?" ”

"This will already be in town, and he will be present at the dinner."

"Well, when you see him, tell him I'll go to dinner too. Don't look for me, am I okay? After Li Yu finished speaking, he picked up a cigarette as he spoke, gave one to Liu Yineng, and said with a smile: "Come on?" ”

Liu Yineng took it happily, Li Yu took out the fire fold and lit it for him, took a sip, and said to Li Yu happily: "Sixth prince, this is really novel, fun." ”

The smell of smoke caused a veiled woman next to her to be unhappy, and she left with a soft snort.

Li Yu introduced Liu Yineng to Xi Wenshi and gave him a courtesy.

Then Xi Wenshi opened the compartment of the big truck, Zheng En took a few soldiers to skillfully carry desktop computers, projectors and batteries, and placed them on the table in front of the curtain.

Xi Wenshi quickly connected the cable, then turned on the computer, and played the movie as planned, three should be enough. They are "Shadow", "Hero" and "Embroidered Spring Knife", which should be a plot acceptable to the ancients.

When the movie began to play, Simon was quiet all of a sudden, and the people in the carriage and horse riding teams were also attracted, especially the people on horseback who rode to the area of the empty one, which caused a commotion, and they were embarrassed to retreat to the official road to watch.

Li Yu happily introduced this novel gadget to Liu Yineng, aroused the interest of this group of newcomers, and simply looked at it on the official road, although the view was not very good, but at least it was more comfortable than the people sitting in the area.
