A suppressed quarrel woke Wang Xuan from his strange dream, and he struggled to open his eyes and look around in a bit of confusion, this was a relatively empty bedroom, the furniture was of unknown woodwork, and it looked very sturdy.

There was no light in the room, and a few rays of light stubbornly penetrated into the room through the inferior paper, so that Wang Xuan, who was still in a state of confusion, could use these lights to see the scene in the room clearly.

At the red table not far from the bed, a group of strangely dressed people fidgeted, arguing with each other from time to time, perhaps because they were worried that the noise would be too loud and noisy, and the voice was a little depressed, but if you carefully distinguish it, you can still find a little anxiety and helplessness, they are men and women, old and young.

In front of the bed was a girl dressed as a maid, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure and a good face.

Maybe Wang Xuan's movement of turning his head was too big, which attracted the attention of the woman, and when he saw that he woke up, his face was flushed with excitement, and he shouted at the arguing crowd: "The young master is awake, the young master is awake, woo woo woo ......"

Tears fell like a line, and Wang Xuan, who saw it, admired it, and said in his heart that this tear gland was really developed enough.

The people who were arguing instantly turned their eyes to the direction of the big bed, standing still like puppets, and after believing that the person on the bed was really awake, they rushed over.

"The Lord is awake!"

"Young Master, you scared us to death. ”

"Heaven bless, bless ......"

“......”

A group of people cried excitedly, almost beating gongs and drums and a hexagram firecracker, Wang Xuan wiped his eyes and looked at them blankly, there was only one thought in his heart, this dream was too real.

It is said that when people are dreaming, the dream is fragmented and incomplete, and it is difficult to control themselves, in order to confirm this speculation, Wang Xuan slapped the right cheek, only to hear a "snap" "hiss" so painful.

At this time, everyone who had gathered around stopped their tracks, you look at me, I look at you, the expression on your face is very rich, I really don't know whether to laugh or cry, or despair.

Wang Xuan was frightened by his own slap, and told him honestly that this was not a dream, let alone a dream in "Inception". So the question arises, why are you here?

Wang Xuan fell into deep thought, and everyone didn't know which play this master was playing, and the bedroom fell into a strange silence for a while.

At this time, an uncle who was about fifty years old stepped forward and saluted Wang Xuan, "Young Master, it's good that you're awake, but what's wrong?"

Seeing that Wang Xuan was still sluggish, his expression was in a trance and he was silent, and the uncle pondered that it should be because he was too frightened and had not yet eased his mind, so he continued: "Young master, be relieved, the Red Flame people have retreated to the Xingyao Lake and camped, and there is no big problem in Jixiang City for the time being." ”

At this time, Wang Xuan sat up suddenly, looked up, and wanted to find evidence of other people's pranks, otherwise this joke would be big. In order to be able to investigate more thoroughly, he simply ignored everyone's obstruction, got out of bed and began to look for it, and when his eyes were gradually attracted by the backs of a pair of white and tender hands, he despaired, and began to be silent for a long time.

At this time, the middle-aged uncle frowned, the worry on his face became a little stronger, and he tried to say a few more words, but Wang Xuan still did not respond. Now he was even more anxious, and said something directly to the maid, and saw her running out in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Xuan was frightened by his own speculation, since it is not filming, then where is this, isn't it?

"What kind of place is this, why am I here?" Wang Xuan asked the middle-aged uncle eagerly, and he vaguely found that these people were faintly headed by him.

"Young master, don't scare me, this is your bedroom, you are the current lord of Jixiang Lord, and I am Zhao Sheng. Wang Xuan's question made the old man anxious, and the spittle was about to spray on Wang Xuan's face.

"I'll go", followed by another backhand slap, and the left side of his face is visibly swollen. Wang Xuan didn't care about whether his face hurt at this time, he was concerned about how to deal with this strange situation next.

After a while, the maid and a middle-aged man carrying a medicine box hurriedly rushed in, "Let's go, let's go, Doctor Liu is here." ”

After the doctor came in, he looked at Wang Xuan's face for a while, then checked his pulse and tested the temperature, and after some operation, he asked, "Is the young master stuffy in his chest and dizzy in his head?"

Wang Xuan shook his head, indicating that there was no such symptom.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he finally reacted.

Wang Xuan could feel that his body was healthy, as for his psychology, he was still uncertain, and he needed time. But if people keep asking, they can't be sure where the horse's feet will leak, and at this moment, his stomach 'growled', so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said to the doctor: "It's just that the stomach is hungry, and nothing else is serious." ”

Then he was asked about some physical feelings and the like, Wang Xuan answered them one by one, and the doctor was relieved to hear it, and said loudly: "The young master is fine!"

Although Dr. Liu's medical skills are not the top, his judgment of the disease is the most authoritative. So everyone looked at each other and smiled, Wang Xuan could hear the sound of relieved breathing, and could also feel their psychological changes of 'the mountains and rivers have no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village', and suddenly the house seemed to be lit, and the light gradually brightened.

Then, according to Dr. Liu's explanation, the crowd gradually dispersed.

After Wang Xuan drank a bowl of porridge, he began to think about how to get through this life and death level smoothly, he looked at his slender white hands and secretly sighed, he didn't know how to go back. However, the first task at the moment is to find out the situation and prescribe the right medicine.

That maid should be someone close to me, so try her first.

So Wang Xuan called the maid outside the door to his side, and inquired about the current situation on the grounds of memory disorder at the beginning of a serious illness, and the results after analysis and summary were not good.

He was the fourth-generation lord of the auspicious lord, and his "father" died of wounds and illness during the Jichi War two years ago, when he was still a child, so his "uncle" took over as lord. Unfortunately, his uncle was also killed in battle a few days ago, and now it is his turn to be the lord, which is really twists and turns.

Now, the gang that killed his father and brothers is here again, they intend to take ownership of the mine through war, well, it is an ore that can burn and produce a lot of heat, and Wang Xuan analyzed that the so-called 'ore' should be coal.

Due to the mediation of high-level officials in the early days of the war, the two sides continued to fight and stop for several years, but in the recent year, Chiyan no longer took into account the feelings of the upper echelons and completely let go of his hands and feet. Their army is overwhelming, and at this time they are already under the city, and it seems that they have no patience to wear it down.

The maid's name is Qing'er, and she is a personal maid arranged for him by "his" mother, taking care of food, clothing, and daily life, and is a considerate person.

The auspicious territory is not rich, with a population of about 30,000 households, about 150,000 people, including about 5,000 troops, which are all forced by war, and the original army is only a thousand people.

Then Wang Xuan knocked on the side, and learned that the territory is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, surrounded by mountains in the east and west, by the lake in the north, and by the sea in the south, which can be regarded as 'isolated from the world', but at the same time it is quite "safe"!

Wang Xuan's grandfather was the first lord of auspiciousness, because he was a wasteland leader, natural and man-made disasters were unpredictable and the conditions were difficult, and everyone was just struggling to survive, the old king couldn't bear to be so 'wronged' by his brother, so he exempted the territory from taxes for twenty years.

The continent where the auspicious collar is located is called the Xingyao Continent, and the main body is a large island, which is distributed in the north and south. According to some travelogues, there are many islands scattered around the Xingyao Continent, but most of them are uninhabited.

In addition to the Xingyao Continent, there are only the East Continent and the West Continent that have been recorded, the Xingyao Continent is the closest to the West Continent, and the boat ride is about half a month, while the East Continent is relatively far away, as for whether it is really as stated in the travel record, no one can be sure.

The auspicious territory belongs to the Great Xia Kingdom, with an area of about one county, and is the smallest territory among the nearly 100 territories in Great Xia. The invasion was auspicious for the Red Flame Territory, separated by Xingyao Lake and Dongxingyao Mountain in the east.

The biggest problem at the moment is how to deal with the invasion of the Red Flame, it is not fair without a little blood, but how much is appropriate? If there is less people, it will not be looked down upon, and if it is given too much, it will be distressed and distressed, and it is a dilemma.

Early the next morning, Zhao Sheng came to visit and ask for instructions.

"Young Master, the Red Flame besieged the city this morning, and gave us a day to consider ceding the mine, if we refuse again, we will attack the city tomorrow. ”

Wang Xuan thought for a while, and said in an affirmative tone: "I decided to negotiate peace, give up some interests and let them withdraw from the army, and strive for a few years of stable development time." Presumably, Chiyan doesn't have to fight us to the death, they are just trying to make money. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Today's shame will be repaid in the future, and now I am worried that everyone has their own plans, in case the external enemy does not retreat, and there are internal changes, how to do it." ”

Zhao Sheng obviously had this concern, explaining: "Now everyone is divided into two factions, the main battle is the military represented by General Wang Yu, and the main peace is the government officials represented by Liu Quan. ”

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "We didn't send envoys to Great Xia to win support?"

Zhao Sheng was also helpless, and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "The faction is a faction, but in the past year, the old king has been seriously ill, and the state affairs are in charge of the eldest prince, and the second prince, who is good friends with us, is controlled everywhere, and he can't do it anymore!"

That's it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, so he said to Zhao Sheng: "Uncle Zhao, you are wronged, and you will come over in the afternoon to discuss peace talks." ”

Just after noon, all the stewards in the territory gathered in Wang Xuan's bedroom, and after several discussions, the bottom line of the negotiation was determined, that is, the coal mine must not be ceded.

Huoyun, the general of Chiyan who received the notice that afternoon, came to the east gate of Jixiang City alone. Zhao Sheng, as the plenipotentiary of auspicious negotiations, went out of the city to meet Huoyun and discuss peace talks with him face-to-face.
