It wasn't until all the outsiders who were in the way were sent away that Lan Yunxuan walked back from the outside quickly, and after opening the curtain and entering the tent, he wanted to give a salute, and then asked in a deep voice, "Lord Wang, how's it going?"

Gu Xuan's face put on a look that he didn't know what to say, shook his head gently, and then explained: "Those old foxes in the city, they think they are smart, and they want to test our strength First, this king guesses that they have probably been seriously studying the identity of this king in the past three days, so this time the tone will suddenly change." ”

What is his identity Gu Xuan?

In fact, he is just the fifth prince of Da Liang, and there are four other people in front of him, and all of them are better than his background, and the starting point is higher.

First of all, the prince's status in Da Liang is unshakable, as the queen's own son, he is deeply favored by His Majesty the Emperor of the current dynasty, not to mention his literary name, the prestige of the government and the opposition is in full swing, and he has the support of the vast majority of powerful ministers, and his grandfather is still the former Zhongshu Ling, a protégé and a former official, all over the world, just this one person, what do you compare with him?

The other three are not mentioned for the time being, although they are all burdened by their respective mother clans, but no matter how they say it, they are better than him Gu Xuan, the fifth prince who has always been looked down upon, has no foundation to rely on, and is not valued at all, it is more justifiable, as for the title of the king of Hedong County, they also have a general understanding, after all, even if the mayfly of the country is not as pervasive as the net of heaven and earth, it is not raised in vain, after understanding the basic information of Gu Xuan, then there is something to ponder.

They sent people over to negotiate twice, probed the tone, and learned one thing, that is, on Gu Xuan's side, there were only soldiers from the Rakshasa clan, and they also knew about the previous intrigue between Da Liang and Wei Guo in the desert through the ephemera's files, including this Zhao'an, and knew the origin of the other party's soldiers.

Because of this, they believe that the other party's division may not be famous this time, no matter what the battle on the front line is, whether it is won or lost, in short, his side will definitely not represent the orthodoxy of Da Liang, in other words, they are not optimistic about this person at all now.

If they agree to surrender to Kaesong and take refuge in him, then in the future, in the dangerous battle for succession, they will be on the wrong side, or they will take refuge in him, which is like going to a gambling table that is not easy to get down from, and they will either lose money or make a lot of money.

Think about it, their gang can only be regarded as generals, once they become the people of Liang Kingdom, it is not comparable to the original families of Liang Kingdom, the two sides will be naturally opposed from the faction, and then stand on the wrong team, then the result is naturally self-evident, so they dare not bet, after all, they don't need to take risks like this.

But Duanmu Pingyi and the others are different, they are first of all information asymmetry, these things that the family tyrants know here, that is, the information they took from the mayfly, they don't know at all, they only know that the outside is a royal child of the Liang Kingdom, as for what kind of person he is, what status he has in the Liang Kingdom, they are all black-eyed, plus they are eager to leave this hateful cage and want to save their lives, so in fact, they are the most sincere people who want to surrender to Gu Xuan.

The people of the wealthy family can still wait for the price to sell, they can wait, because they have the foundation, but the two brothers have a chance to save their lives, so they have to work hard to seize it, otherwise once they miss it, they may not be able to catch it again.

----------------

On the street of Jing'anfang in the capital, there lives a big family that is extremely powerful in Weiguo, not to mention anything else, just look at the two majestic stone lions at the door, and you should know that this is not an ordinary family, at night, in the courtyard of the deep house, separated by a quiet garden, in a hidden back hall, there are a group of young people who have also reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, discussing something in a low voice.

These people are not ordinary mortals, but the actual rulers of the various families who hold the lives and deaths of many people, that is, the heads of the families, who represent their respective families to attend, and their status is not different, but they just sit around the table, and they don't see too much difference.

"The information sent by the mayfly must have been read by everyone, right?"

Duanmu Shuofeng left, although he took away almost all of the mayfly's manpower, but the information that had been collected before, and had been archived, and stacked in secret places in different categories, had always been there, generally speaking, unless the interval was too long, otherwise it would not be destroyed, and with Xie Shi's status as the Great Situ, of course, he had the authority to get it, but for some reason, Xie Shi did not come to today's gathering.

Hearing this, an old man shook his head a little reluctantly and said, "Once we open the door, we have to bet on him, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this time." ”

Through the information sent by the mayfly, they also roughly understood some of the internal situation in the Liang country, especially the king of Hedong County, who was anxious to enter the city outside, although he was not valued by people before, and even the mayfly was too lazy to pay attention to him, but after the war broke out, he first used a big move to settle the entire Rakshasa clan, not to mention, and repeatedly provoked the Youzhou General's Mansion that was close at hand, but he was always safe and sound, so even the mayfly had to look at him differently, and began to collect his information.

In the eyes of the people in the house, this little prince whose title is obviously lower than that of the ancestral system should be just an unlucky guy who was kicked out of the battle for the heir and forced to be exiled thousands of miles away.

But even those of them who have seen a lot of things in the world have to admire that it is a gentleman who strives for self-improvement, obviously, this person is obviously not willing to be lonely, even if he is down, he still wants to do a dojo in a snail shell, and the final result shows that he is still doing very well.

In the hot land over there, there are enemies on three sides, but in a poor place the size of a palm, he not only survived, but also played a game of making something out of nothing, and ran Huangsha County prosperously.

If he really doesn't have that mind, first, he won't be kicked out early, and second, he won't work so hard in a desperate situation, because hard work will only make your enemies want to get rid of you in advance, which is not good for a person who has no desire to fight for hegemony.

And His Majesty, the current emperor of Liangguo, is not young, and he can still sit in that position for a few years, these wealthy lords who were born to defend the country, will be the courtiers of the Liangguo in the future, and naturally want to intervene in this big gamble, the so-called people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, where is there no end to this desire, even if they sit in the first place in the country, they will not be satisfied, and they will want to be the first in Liangguo, the first in the south, the first in the world, in short, there is always a goal.

Even if they really don't want to get involved in this kind of danger and opportunity, they just want to guard their own one-third of an acre, but will the little prince be willing, judging from the other party's previous actions, he must be an ambitious person, such a person, will let them go of the fat that fell on his mouth?

Since he has no foundation, he needs such a group of people to support him, if he can get the full help of all the families of the country, plus this merit that allows his prestige and merit to reach a certain height, he can make up for the gap with other brothers and fight again.

But that would be tantamount to bringing them into the room, so they must now make a choice, and once the gates are opened, if they do not pledge their allegiance to him, they are afraid that the result will be miserable.

Someone immediately proposed: "According to the previous agreement, we will test him again tomorrow, everyone, this is not only our urgency, in fact, he is more anxious, if he can't take this credit before the others, then he is doing useless work now." ”

When someone heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said with a helpless expression: "But there are hostages in his hands, these are the backbones of the major families, so they won't be saved." ”

Someone else complained, saying: "If you want to blame, you have to blame that thank you, you have to live well, but you want to let the children die, and now they are all arrested, in fact, I hope they are all dead outside, but they will not be so embarrassed as now." ”

Someone glanced at the side unabashedly, sneered, and said: "It's not that a certain guy is holding up, and he has to be able to command improperly, but he died outside, not to mention, and he also affected us by the way!"

Seeing that many people in the audience had followed suit, the head of the Wei Chi family couldn't help but snort coldly, and shot back: "Improper command? Ridiculous, according to your meaning, those boys can be regarded as an army? If it is a duel under normal circumstances, how can Lide lose? In the final analysis, they still have to blame themselves for not fighting!"

The situation of the Wei Chi family is actually very similar to the situation of the Xu family in Youzhou, they are all relying on the aftermath of the ancestors' military exploits to develop and grow, but the Wei Chi family has been spreading over the years, and after hundreds of years of operation, it is now the first family of the country, although its family members are mainly scattered in the army because of the influence of ancestral blood, but the influence of the country is still extraordinary.

The Wei Chi family has always maintained a strong martial style, which can actually be seen from the person of Yu Chi Dian, you can say that he is stupid, that he does things without his brain, but he is the grandson of the main family, born with a golden spoon, this status is not much lower than that of ordinary princes, but he can also take the initiative to go to the battlefield to fight with others, which is really rare in the defense of the country that has been peaceful for hundreds of years.

Therefore, although the people of the Wei Chi family actually complained a little about Xie Shi who came up with the idea this time, it was not big, because they knew that intercepting the enemy on the edge of the Wei River during the rainy season was the most normal and most suitable means, and losing had little to do with Xie Shi's proposal.

And for their own family, they will not complain, although Wei Chi Lide lost, and died outside, but the clansmen are complaining about him and wronging him, after all, if it is under normal circumstances, if it is a normal army, he occupies the right time and place, where will he lose, this is not that the second ancestors themselves are not angry.

As for why they came this time, there is really no way, no matter how powerful the Wei Chi family is, then they have to make a living, although they claim to be the first family to defend the country, but most of the clansmen have followed Duanmu Shuofeng together, and they may not know how many died outside, and now those who stay in the capital are all old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, if they allow other families to unite and open the city to meet the enemy in exchange for wealth, then they will not have a good life.

He knew that the group of people in front of him couldn't wait to drag their Wei Chi family off the horse with the help of outsiders, one bite at a time, and share the food cleanly, so he would take the initiative to discuss this matter with everyone.

"Okay, okay, this is not the time for infighting, let's talk about what to do again. ”

"According to me, just open the city gate, don't be hypocritical, no matter what happens to the people of Liangguo in the future, let's pass the gate in front of us first. ”

"Hold on a little longer, I don't believe he'll be able to make it. ”

"Can't stand it? You didn't listen to him, if you delay one more day, you will kill a thousand, and no one in your family is inside, you are not in a hurry, but my precious grandson is still waiting in his camp!"

"I don't mean that either, but the more it drags on, the better it will be for us, so it won't be for a few offspring to lose all the family business of our ancestors for hundreds of years, right?"

While the people in the house were talking to each other and discussing in low voices, someone outside suddenly shouted in a panic.

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

A group of people then turned their heads and looked at the courtyard where torches were still lit, among them, the head of the Wei Chi family, who was born in a family of military generals, had the hottest temper, and he was already in the age of sixties, and he still puffed up his breath and shouted: "What is the noise! Shut up!"

The people who came were taken aback by its momentum, plus he also knew what the identity of the people inside was, usually it was the existence of stomping on the capital and shaking three times, and now they are together, even if His Majesty the Emperor who has been away from the capital for a long time is still there, and now they have to be polite when they meet.

But he couldn't help it, after all, the matter was too urgent, so he quickly knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists, and risked offending so many wealthy lords, while panting because he was running too quickly just now, he pointed to the outside and shouted eagerly: "No, it's not good, the people of Liangguo, outside, those people of Liangguo ran in!"

"What!"

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was also frightened by this news, because the matter was suddenly beyond their control and expectations, where did they know what to do, and in the end, it was the head of the Wei Chi family who reacted, and immediately said sharply: "You don't tell the whole story quickly, if you delay the matter, I will kill you alive!"
