King Xuan also frowned, and said unconvinced: "My family is also the lord of a country, if you look at Huan Xuan's face like this, wouldn't it be too unproductive, and this is not a long-term solution......

Meng Guoxiang's small eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't you already have a decision in your heart, why do you need to tease the old minister?" ”

Only then did everyone understand that he was deliberately saying this, so that the king couldn't help but refute it, and couldn't help laughing, the elder whom the king trusted was actually an extremely cunning old fox, and he was already perfect in figuring out the trick of Shangyi.

Seeing that he was smiling treacherously, the king also understood, it turned out that he was calculated, and he couldn't help but brush his sleeves and say, "Uncle, you even came with these outsiders to squeeze me." ”

Hagi Niang listened to his "uncle", and only then did she understand why the intimate relationship between the two was between the monarch and the minister, it seems that whether it is between the scholars or the royal family, blood is always the strongest thing to maintain political consensus.

When Meng Guoxiang saw him calling himself as "uncle", his heart was also soft, and he said solemnly: "Your Highness, you instructed the old minister to check the background of these guests, and the old minister did find out, although this Liu Lang is powerless and powerful, and his background is not noble, but his experience is indeed extraordinary......

"When the people of Huiji were in turmoil, he single-handedly forced back the rebellious army besieging the city, and made friends with Xie Yu Xie Neishi of Huiji Taishou and Xie of Chenjun Xie; Later, he actually got the blue eyes of Master Zhu Fatai of the Tile Coffin Temple, and in Nankang County, Master Fatai isolated himself from Huan Xuan's henchman for him, in front of Bian Fanzhi; In Quanling, Tang Yun, the Taishou of Lingling County, knew that he was wanted by Huan Xuan, but he insisted on secretly conniving with him, and was even questioned by Huan's family; In Lipu, before their group was rescued by Xu Mu, the son of the lord of Xucheng, he actually hit dozens of men who wanted to kill them with just a long sword in his hand, but he had good intentions and did not take people's lives at will. ”

"In the eyes of the old minister, this Liu Lang is really a brave and resourceful benevolent person, trustworthy and trustworthy."

King Jian originally wanted Meng Guoxiang to say about their small behavior of running around Kunchuan in the past few days, but he didn't expect that what Meng Guoxiang said was all good things about sending slaves, and he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, he knew that this Meng Guoxiang had no tacit understanding with him, and he should have taught him his lines beforehand.

He said helplessly: "In this way, these people have actually been able to survive so far with the help of nobles along the way." ”

The slave couldn't help but ask: "Tang Yun Tang Ming Mansion, was it because of a few of us who were killed by Huan Xuan?" ”

Meng Guoxiang didn't expect that at this moment, what he was most concerned about was such a trivial matter, so he couldn't help but brush the sparse short beard on his chin, and said slowly: "I don't know about this, but I heard that all the men of their clan have been imprisoned at this time, but the Huan clan has always been very ruthless, maybe they will order them to be executed in anger." ”

The slave was uneasy in his heart, and said to the king anxiously: "Please send someone to rescue them, for you, maybe it will be a help!" ”

Seeing that he was very eager to plead, the king was overjoyed, and asked quietly, "I don't know them, and it is no good, why should I save them?" Lingling County ...... That's a long way off......"

Liu Muzhi and Hagi Niang immediately heard the bargaining meaning in King Ji's tone, and couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.

The slave still didn't understand, he heard that the tone of the king's refusal was not very resolute, and he was even more eager in his heart, when he knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, Tang Ming Mansion has been operating in Lingling for many years, if you help you and get out of the cage, I think I will not know how to repay you in the future." Lingling County is the closest Jingzhou county to Kunchuan, if you are interested in expanding your territory and have the return of Tang Ming Mansion, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Honest people also have the benefits of honest people, although the slave is not good at calculation, the analysis of the situation is also meticulous when he is in a hurry, and when it comes to the heart of the king, even Hagi Niang, can't help but secretly praise, well said!

Sure enough, the king panicked for a while, and hurriedly confessed: "How dare you, my family is just living in a corner of the border, just seeking to be on the side of peace, how can you have any ambitions for expansion, don't talk nonsense about what you say, if others hear it, it will be a conspiracy!" ”

Even so, he calculated this matter in his heart, and said slowly: "But what you said also makes sense, since this king and uncle both think that the Huan clan is not good at it, then the enemy of the Huan clan, we naturally have to try to win it over, don't worry, this king has his own plans for this matter, and there is no need to say more." ”

Jinu didn't understand his thoughts, and thought that he really said the wrong thing, and almost caught him in injustice, so he got up apologetically and didn't dare to say anything more.

Hagi Niang took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have finally made up your mind and made the most correct choice, thank you for the people of Nanzhong." ”

King Fu snorted coldly, but he didn't refute her words.

Meng Guoxiang frowned, quietly pulled the corner of King Lajiao's clothes, and glanced at Haginiang quietly.

The king understood, stroked his forehead, and said faintly: "Hey, this king's head hurts, Xu Aiqing, it's better for you to go back to recover your life first, and the rest of you will live in the palace first, although this king is not as prosperous as Jiankang Palace, but it is also a worry-free ...... food and clothing." ”

When Hagi Niang heard this, her eyebrows involuntarily raised.

This so-called living in the palace is actually house arrest in disguise, before the old fox and the little fox have calculated a result, I am afraid that these people will be like meat on the chopping board, and they can only be slaughtered.

Xu Mu also sensed that it was not good, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, my father loves Liu Lang very much, if I don't bring him back, I'm afraid that my father will blame me, and I ask Your Highness...... Don't embarrass me......"

However, he was young after all, and the king just glared at him, and his courage to fight immediately wilted, so he could only look apologetically at Jinu and Hagi Niang, quietly made a "take care" mouth, and respectfully retired.

Hagi Niang smiled: "Xu Lang, please rest assured, Your Highness is the most intelligent and wise person, and he will not kill innocents indiscriminately, so you will wait for us in the post house for a few days, and we will come to meet you soon." ”

Xu Mu left resignedly, but the king looked at Haginiang angrily and funny, this sister-in-law is really ghostly, she has long guessed that she has never wanted to kill them, but she just uses it as a basis to fight for more benefits, this feeling of being seen through everywhere is really bad.

That's it, anyway, I already had a plan.
