Chapter 39: My Own People
The speed of the people who attacked Sinan was very fast, and when Duan Qirui saw it clearly, there was no way to step forward to stop it, his heart was tight, knowing that Sinan could not cultivate, so he naturally did not know martial arts, and he was afraid that this time it would be......
However, unlike what he expected, the sharp dagger struck, there was no blood, no scream, the blade was caught in mid-air, Si Nan's body deviated back, and while skillfully dodging, he blocked the arm of the attacker with one hand!
"Bai Gongzi is strong in martial arts, and he likes to strike first, but it is better for Gongzi to leave such a sharp trick to the enemy on the battlefield."
The bright blade hung two inches on Si Nan's neck, and Bai Hua only needed a little force to cut off this woman's throat, but it was only two inches, and he couldn't push it down at all.
"I will naturally kill the enemy on the battlefield, and the person who eavesdrops on the secrets of the courtiers cannot stay!" A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and as soon as the blade was retracted, he was about to slap Sinan on the shoulder, but was stopped by another person.
Bai Hua was stunned, "Duan Gongzi, why is this?" ”
Bai Hua didn't understand, Bai Xin was even more anxious to step forward to stop it, the two Bai Duan families formed an alliance to resist the Zhuang and Si families and the Zhou Wang faction, this news is related to the situation of the imperial court and even the entire Great Liang, and now it is overheard, once the plan is leaked, it will be used by someone with a heart, I am afraid that none of them will escape death!
"General, don't worry, this woman is ...... It's your own people. Duan Qirui didn't know how to phrase it, and after thinking for a long time, only the pale "own people" could clarify that Sinan was harmless.
"Your own people?" Hearing that the Duan family's father and son all came forward for this woman, Bai Hua put down the dagger in his hand, but his gaze at Si Nan was still vigilant.
The father and son of the Bai family glanced at each other, with deep meaning in their eyes, obviously not believing Sinan, Bai Hua bowed his hand to Sinan: "I don't know that the girl is my own person, I was offended a lot just now, and I forgive the girl." ”
"Forgive me?" Sinan's eyes swept over the young man, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm sorry, I've always held grudges, and I never knew how to write the word forgiveness." ”
Obviously she was a thin girl, Bai Hua was slightly chilled by that gaze, and after hearing Sinan's words, she was even more angry: "It was the girl who eavesdropped first, but I was afraid that the plan would be leaked, just in case!" ”
Sinan met his gaze, frank and open, without the shame of eavesdropping: "Have you ever seen the person who eavesdropped on the corner of the wall and generously came in through the window?" Moreover, the National Teacher has said that I am my own person, and it is really inappropriate to use the words secretly, and I am listening openly. ”
Fair and square......
Hearing this, Bai Hua couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, after living for so many years, he had never seen such an unreasonable woman!
Before he could continue to speak, Sinan's voice came again: "I don't want to pursue the matter that almost cost me my life today, but about the matter of attacking the Zhuang Si family and the Zhou Wang faction, the little woman also hopes that General Bai and the national teacher will listen to me." ”
The girl's eyes were clear and calm, and although her words were respectful, her eyes were sharp and pointed directly at people's hearts, and she did not grovel.
Bai Xin motioned for Bai Hua to come back and nodded: "Okay, you can talk about it." ”
"Thank you, General!" Sinan made a salute, the courtesy was thorough, the respect was more hypocritical, and the less contemptuous, so that people could not make mistakes.
"The king of Zhou is close to the Zhuang and Si families, and he is trying to win over the courtiers in disguise, secretly cultivating elite soldiers, wolf ambitions, you and I all know it, just now the national teacher proposed to collect evidence, play the emperor, and deal a heavy blow to the king of Zhou's faction. But have you ever thought about the reason why King Zhou was unaware of such thoughts in the life of the Emperor God and King Zhou, but still turned a blind eye? ”
Hearing this, everyone in the house was slightly downcast, how shrewd the emperor was, the previous dynasty could control the overall situation of the ministers, and the back court could have three thousand beauties and be peaceful, King Zhou's thoughts, the emperor could not be completely ignorant.
"What does the girl think?" Duan Yi touched his chin and asked in a deep voice.
"Because of the Prince." Sinan glanced at everyone in the room, "Now that the Zhuang and Si families are in full swing, it is not a while for the nobles of the family headed by this to be rampant in Beijing, and the emperor is just too lazy to care." King Zhou was born to Queen Zhuang, and the emperor favored King Zhou, which was equivalent to being a backer for the family, but these nobles had already been golden and ruined, how could the emperor hand over the country to such a person? ”
Although Bai Xin didn't understand what he understood, he felt reasonable, not only nodded, Duan Qirui was smart, his eyes rolled, and his face was shocked: "What does the girl mean......?" ”
Si Nan smiled tactfully, but didn't say it explicitly, only said: "The emperor and the former queen are married to each other, and he himself was the heir to the throne orthodox, so he naturally wants to continue this tradition, so the Zhuang family became the queen, and he still did not abolish the prince." ”
Duan Yi and Bai Hua's eyes were much clearer, but Bai Xin was still in the clouds, but he was a general, and he couldn't be discovered by these juniors that he couldn't understand what Sinan said, so he had to pretend to be thoughtful, and nodded again and again: "What you said is right......
Sinan smiled secretly in his heart, even more sure that such a real and honest general could be the murderer who framed Duan Chen, there must be something else going on.
She continued: "Collecting evidence of King Zhou's intention to rebel against the emperor can indeed give the enemy a hard blow, but it is not enough to defeat him, not to mention how strong the power behind King Zhou is now, it is not a problem at all for black to be white, and his success in controlling the water is a foregone conclusion, and the merits will be offset by the time, so not only will it not cause him a substantial blow, but also expose our purpose, so the strategy of the national teacher should not be taken." ”
As a national teacher, Duan Qirui has his own style and capital, and even the important ministers of the court and the central government dare not casually overturn his remarks, but Sinan is just a woman, and she is convinced.
He looked at Sinan with a little more appreciation in his eyes, and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
"If you want to polish a sword, the more ups and downs you experience, the longer the time, the sharper the blade will be, the emperor is painstakingly for the prince to become a talent, the family headed by the Zhuang Si family is his whetstone, and the king of Zhou is his knife tester, what does the national teacher think to do?"
"An alliance with the Prince." Duan Qirui asserted, he suddenly brightened, not only with a little smile on his face, "The girl is really smart! ”
The emperor felt sorry for the prince, and did not hesitate to bet on the foundation of the country to create an environment for him to practice, but a good man helped three people with three piles of fences, and the Duan family and the Bai family were the prince's piles!
Duan Yi looked at his father with some surprise, he and his eldest brother Duan Qiu had been learning the art of strategy from his father since they were children, but they had never heard his father praise anyone, but now he did not hide his appreciation for this girl's words, I have to say that she is really good.
Bai Hua's eyelids jumped slightly, he didn't expect this little woman to be able to see the situation in Beijing so thoroughly, and she really underestimated her just now.
At the scene, only Bai Xin nodded as if he didn't understand, and muttered: "Yes, yes, this plan is good......"
He doesn't understand these bells and whistles, and now he just looks forward to going home as soon as possible and asking Hua'er......
Duan Yi nodded, looked at Duan Qirui and said seriously: "Father, that kid will immediately repair the Prince's Mansion and visit tomorrow." ”
"No." Hearing this, Duan Qirui immediately denied it, locked his eyebrows and said, "Now...... It's too early, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's more heartwarming to send charcoal in the snow, I heard the prime minister's party say when I went to court yesterday that the emperor wants to hand over the management of the southern locust plague to the prince, and I want to know that who else can come up with such a vicious idea, except for the Zhuang family? ”
Now the locust plague in the south is a hot potato, whoever takes it suffers, the granary is damaged, and the people are hungry......
Sinan smiled slightly, the national teacher's brain was really more developed than others, but Duan Yi and Bai Hua were still contemplating the reason for their words.
Duan Qirui continued: "The alliance will be discussed when the prince returns from the south, the union of our two families must be kept secret from the outside world, everything is still the same as usual, the relationship should not be too close, it would be great if there were some more quarrels." ”
At this time, Duan Yi and Bai Hua also probably understood the meaning of Duan Qirui's words, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Yes, everything is arranged by the national teacher (father)!" ”
Bai Xin also nodded thoughtfully, and said loudly: "I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the country that my Bai family has guarded for generations will not be corrupted by those personal scum, as long as the national teacher says a word from you, we will also listen to the arrangement!" ”
His words were hearty and heroic, which was unique to the men in the army, and instantly made most of the suspicion between the two families fade.
Duan Qirui was stunned, the heartstrings that he had been reluctant to face in the depths of his heart were touched, in essence, he was the same person as Bai Xin, he loved the country the same, and he also wanted to protect the people of this land, he suddenly regretted a little, if he had opened his heart like this earlier, and did not stick to the Bai family's shooting and poisoning of arrows, maybe things would not have developed to this point.
He got up, hugged Bai Xinyi with a heavy fist, and said solemnly: "The Duan family and the Bai family help each other, and they are in the same breath, so let's write off all the things in the past!" ”
He looked at Bai Xin's sincere and frank gaze, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that Chen'er's injury must be thoroughly investigated.
Bai Xin was also hearty, raised the teacup and drank it all, and said heartily: "It's all in wine...... Ahem, tea instead of wine! ”
"Father......" Bai Hua was slightly embarrassed, knowing that his father had taken out the habits of the army.
Duan Qirui smiled, didn't care, turned his head to look at Sinan, bowed his hand, and said: "Thank you girl today, if it weren't for you, we would have acted recklessly, I don't know what the consequences would be......"
Now that he thinks about it, he still feels scared, if he really makes a rash move, with King Zhou's ruthless style, I am afraid that the two families will really be destroyed in his hands.
"The national teacher is serious." Sinan smiled gently, "We are in the same boat in the same city, so naturally we have to help each other." ”
Bai Hua looked at Si Nan, blushed, but also bowed deeply, and said, "Bai Hua was rude just now, and almost hurt the girl, I'm really sorry!" ”
He no longer dared to underestimate the woman in front of him.
Si Nan's eyebrows were slightly raised, half mischievous and half joking: "In the face of sincere people, of course I know how to write the word 'forgive'." ”
A joke completely dissolved the embarrassment in Bai Hua's heart, he looked at Sinan, and smiled softly: "Thank you, girl, it's just that there is still something unclear below, what is the identity of the 'own person' that the national teacher said?" ”
Sinan glanced at Duan Qirui, smiled clearly, and was as bright as a peach blossom in the prosperous world: "When the time comes, Bai Gongzi will know." ”
