Chapter 708: Persuasion
Li Xu sat at the table and looked carefully at the map on the table.
Mr. Lu came in and said: "Song Chengxuan and Xu stayed in the Liaodong Dusi for a few days, and went to Jinzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei, and Ma Dudu followed all the way.
Song Chengxuan and Ma Dudu went to sea by boat in Jinzhouwei again......"
Li Xu's eyes fell on Tianjin Wei and Weihaiwei.
Song Chengxuan didn't bring many people to northern Xinjiang, and the Liaodong Metropolitan Guard Office has been like a plate of scattered sand over the years, Song Chengxuan is afraid that the slaves will do too tricky things, and he wants soldiers and horses to support him from the sea.
After all, Song Chengxuan has always been in the southeast, and what he is good at is naval warfare.
Li Xu's eyes sank slightly.
"Childe," said Mr. Lu, "otherwise, I will try my best to find out the news from the two guards in Tianjin and Weihai." ”
"No," Li Xu said, "Maybe Song Chengxuan deliberately did this, just to ask us to come forward, so that he could find out all of our manpower."
If we don't move, he won't find the clues. ”
He and Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan have been investigating the case together for so long, and he can guess their intentions.
Mr. Lu couldn't help but hesitate: "That...... In case ......"
Li Xu put away the map: "The imperial court is already suspicious of Song Chengxuan, and it will not send troops easily, I still have arrangements later, take care of the size, and the reinforcements of the imperial court will not come." ”
Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, he believed in Li Xu's ability, and he didn't know what Li Xu was going to do next.
Li Xu didn't mean to speak again, Mr. Lu retreated step by step, the current Li Xu is different from before, what he should do is to listen to Li Xu's instructions, not figure out what Li Xu means.
Although he had taught Li Xu, now they were master and servant, which was insurmountable.
Mr. Lu left, and Li Xu stood up and walked to the window.
Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan have already gone to the Haixi tribe, and when the time comes, the Haixi tribe will fall into chaos, and the two of them will definitely be entangled in slaves.
As soon as the war began, Song Chengxuan would know that this was not his southeast, and how difficult it would be to appease the slaves.
Let Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan die in slaves, which is the best arrangement.
Xu Qinghuan's face appeared in front of Li Xu's eyes, but soon he made this face disappear from his mind, since she had already made a choice, she must not regret it at that moment.
Just like him, if he decides to take on everything, he has to go all the way forward, and no one will understand his mind.
"Li Xu." Zhou Yue broke in from outside, and there were two guards who came in with him.
Zhou Yue looked at the fierce appearance of the guard, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, Li Xu seemed to have changed after returning to the north, and he could clearly feel Li Xu's alienation and defensiveness towards him.
That Mr. Lu is also weird, in the past, Li Xu was respectful to Mr. Lu, but now Mr. Lu grovels to Li Xu, Li Xu walked more than a dozen guards, and captured a lot of Jian Wang Party, at first he was still happy for Li Xu, Li Xu finally had his own prestige and status, but then he gradually felt that something was wrong, and Li Xu was too smooth.
In addition, he felt that Li Xu was planning something else.
Li Xu looked at the guards: "Go out!" ”
The guard replied and retreated.
Zhou Yue frowned: "Li Xu, do you have something you haven't told me, those people...... They were all sent to you by the imperial court? Before leaving Beijing, he hadn't heard Li Xu mention this, why did Li Xu have so many people around him when he arrived in the north.
Li Xu raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yue, his gaze was very calm: "Zhou Yue, we have known each other for so many years, can you trust me?" ”
Zhou Yue was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Naturally, I was suspicious of you in the capital before, but now it's different, I know your thoughts." ”
"Your previous suspicions may be correct," Li Xu said, "I also learned that I may have something to do with King Jian." ”
Zhou Yue's eyes widened in surprise: "You...... What did you say? ”
Li Xu's expression was still calm: "I didn't know before, but then I ...... I also wanted to tell the truth to the imperial court, but I found that King Jian seemed to have other arrangements, which affected the people of the entire north, and the slightest mistake would have buried the lives of tens of millions of people, and even ruined the entire Great Zhou. ”
Zhou Yue didn't know what to say: "Then you...... What to do? ”
Li Xu raised his head slightly, the sun fell on his face, his eyebrows stretched, and the whole person was pure and calm: "No one will believe me when I say this identity, no matter how I choose, it is wrong, and I can only act according to my ideas," he paused slightly, "Do you know that Song Chengxuan is the son of King Wei, he will attack the capital sooner or later and sit in that position, and only in this way can he justify his father King Wei." ”
Zhou Yue was struck by lightning, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, what Li Xu said today, one by one, surprised him more than the other: "How could he be the prince of Wei, then...... Wasn't King Wei's rebellion framed by King Jian? They, are they investigating the case for...... Does Miss Xu know? An Yihou ......"
"The Marquis of Anyi Mansion and the Wei Wangfu have already made a marriage contract, if there is no accident in the Wei Palace, Xu Qinghuan is now the princess of the Wei Wang, and now they are still together, but they have changed their identities," Li Xu smiled slightly, "They know what is going on from beginning to end, only we are kept in the dark." ”
He also thought hard about why Xu Qinghuan would rather join forces with Song Chengxuan, and it was clear that Song Chengxuan's behavior was even more suspicious.
Zhou Yue regained his composure after a while: "Did they know about your relationship with King Jian?" ”
Li Xu nodded: "They came to Northern Xinjiang for this matter, they will not let go if they don't achieve their goal, there will be a catastrophe in the Great Zhou in the future, and I don't know how many people will die because of it." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xu looked at Zhou Yue: "You say, do I want to be arrested?" These days, I have gradually taken control of the northern frontier, and found that the Tatars may be deployed in it, and they will take the opportunity to attack the city after the chaos in the northern frontier, and King Jian's men will control the guard checkpoint, and if something happens to these people, the defense line of the Great Zhou will also be breached.
Unlike King Jane, I always want to keep the overall situation in the north and keep the people away from the scourge of war, and if I can let those people use me, it may not be a bad thing. ”
Zhou Yue said: "So you took over King Jian's people?" He had already roughly guessed Li Xu's identity, although it sounded a little unlikely.
Li Xu looked at Zhou Yue: "What should you do if you were me?" Now that I'm telling you the truth, will you stay and help me? ”
Zhou Yue hesitated and did not speak.
"Think about it carefully," Li Xu said, "Soon Song Chengxuan will do something to me, your Zhou family still has some connections in the north, whether to help me or help him, you always have to make a decision, before everything starts, I will tell you, I don't want you to be kept in the dark."
You have always treated me with sincerity, and I cannot fail you. ”
"Let me think about it." Zhou Yue stayed for a moment after speaking, and slowly withdrew from the room.
After Zhou Yue left, the guard entered the door and said, "Do you want to keep an eye on him." ”
Li Xu shook his head: "No." ”
Everyone should have their own choice, just like the Yu family, who went to the slave for the sake of profit, since they had this choice, they had to bear the corresponding consequences.
He doesn't force anyone.
……
Miss Yu San opened the curtain and looked out, and the city gate was not far away.
"I heard that Xu Qinghuan also came a few days ago?" Miss Yu San asked Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji smiled and said: "Here, but the people of Northern Xinjiang don't know her, come quietly, leave quietly, you will be different." ”
As soon as Mrs. Ji's words fell, Miss Yu San heard someone making noise outside.
"This is the carriage of the Yu family, and Miss Yu San is here."
