Chapter 653: Xilin's Change
"Hear you say that," asked Tongqi, "and they haven't fought yet?"
"I don't know, anyway, the Qi family is very tight," the boss recalled with relish, "This matter is a sudden situation for the Liu and Li families, but it was planned by the Qi family for a long time, and it only took less than half a day for Huadu City to be controlled, and many officers and soldiers in the armies of the other two families are all interested in the Qi family, and the rest are blocked outside the city, and they don't know the situation in the city, and they don't dare to act rashly, but if you want to enter the city, it's best to arrive in these two days, otherwise when the situation ferments again, no one knows what will happen." ”
"Then how many days is it from Huadu City?"
"The carriage won't take a day, it's close. ”
After leaving the tea shed and re-entering the road, Wu Xu sat side by side with Tongqi outside the sedan car.
"You have a lot of bad intentions, how should we enter Huadu City?" Wu Xu casually broke a branch from the side of the road and asked while playing, "Do you really have an acquaintance to help in the Qi family?"
"No," said the copper, "but it doesn't matter, I have a way to get in." ”
Wu Xu played with the branch in his hand, and said worriedly: "But the Qi family must be heavily guarded now, and it must be difficult for us to approach Qi Lianxin, let alone take revenge, what should we do......"
However, Wu Su's words were more of a self-talk, so Tong Qi didn't say anything, and she didn't care.
**
Huadu City has been closed for two days.
Outside the city, there was almost a mess, with tree trunks burned to charcoal and scattered corpses, all depicting more than one or two terrible battles.
In comparison, the city is much calmer - the streets are full of Qi family's troops, and the people basically haven't gone out, not because they are afraid of these officers and soldiers of the Qi family, but because they are afraid that the other two families will suddenly rebel in the city and they will be affected on the street.
Qi Wei took Shan Peng to Lijiazhuang, which had been controlled.
The attitude of the new patriarch of the Li family was much softer than before.
"Elder Qi really has good means," the head of the Li family said sarcastically, "It's hard to believe that the Qi family has been holding back." ”
"Elder Li doesn't have to be so yin and yang when he speaks, if he doesn't change, what will happen to the country in the future, you and I know it," Qi Wei said calmly, "What is the difference between the three separate governments and the three joint governments, but they are all mutually restrained and suppressed by each other, and there is no benefit to the country, but not only follows the old path before, but also buries hidden dangers." ”
"Hmph......" Patriarch Li snorted from his nose and said meaningfully, "This is right, it is indeed a hidden danger. ”
"Elder Li, the Ming people don't say secret words, what the original plan of the two of you was is not a secret-"
"So your Qi family has to strike first," Patriarch Li raised his voice and said, "Becoming a king and defeating a king, I know that most of the Liu family's army has defected, and there are many of my Li family, but Qi Lao has ever thought that those who fled without surrendering would have no stability in the country if they assembled at the border in the future......
Qi Wei stepped aside and led Shan Peng to the head of the Li family: "This is the imperial saber officer......
Patriarch Li's body trembled, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
After a long time, he spoke again, and his voice was much lower: "It turns out that the new emperor of the Central Plains is already standing on the side of the Qi family, no wonder Qi Lao dares to make this risky move, okay, okay, let's get straight to the point, what do you want my Li family to do?"
"I gave the Liu family two choices, one was to leave the Xilin Kingdom, and the other was to stay in the Xilin Kingdom, and they chose the latter," Qi Wei said, "I will also give you these two road choices." ”
"How, exactly?"
"The former, everyone in the Li family left the country to go to the Central Plains, and the imperial court will ensure that the Li family is worry-free, but they will not be allowed to step into Xilin for half a step for life, and hand over the military talisman to the Qi family," Shan Peng said, "The latter is the road chosen by the Liu family, and there is no Xilin Liu family in the world, the emperor has sent military horses to Xilin, and will soon arrive at the border to assist the Qi family, so the Li patriarch must not take the road of the Liu family again." ”
Li Lao was silent for a moment, and did not give an answer immediately, but looked at Qi Wei: "Can I talk to Qi Lao in detail about the political affairs of the country for a while." ”
Shan Peng glanced at Qi Wei, and Qi Wei nodded: "Please move for the time being." ”
"If there is anything, Elder Qi can command it at any time. Shan Peng bowed with a fist and retreated from the room.
"Qi Wei, you said that you are doing all this for the future of the Shu Kingdom, but after all, you still rely on the emperor of the Central Plains, what future can the Shu Kingdom have after that?"
"He can use the Shu State, and the Shu State can also use him," Qi Wei already knew in his heart, "The Liu family attaches too much importance to its own pros and cons and can't see things at this level, but I hope Elder Li can see it." ”
Li Lao closed his eyes and sighed: "Soldier Fu, I will let people send it to the Qi family, and the people of the Li family will also leave the country and go to the Central Plains, not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but because I don't want the soldiers and people of the country to be in civil strife, but today's affairs in the country will inevitably be rumored as a joke all over the world." ”
"Elder Li, since the three of us were divided and attached to the Central Plains Imperial Court, we have been the laughing stock of the world. ”
Leaving the Li family, Qi Wei was relieved, and such a result could not be better for him.
"Elder Qi," Shan Peng suddenly spoke, "Although the Liu family and the Li family are no longer a major trouble, there will inevitably be remnants of the chaotic party, and the emperor's army will be stationed on the border, first, if there is a rebellion, it can help to quell it, and second, it can also play a deterrent role." ”
"Thank you for your kindness. ”
"Xiaguan will go to the border first to meet the army sent by the emperor, and then he will lead the head general to visit Qi Lao. ”
Qi Wei didn't speak, only nodded.
Not long after Shan Peng left, a member of the Qi family came running: "Old Qi, there is a man and a woman outside the city who said that Miss Qi is in the same door, and now they have been taken to Qijiazhuang. ”
"Has the eldest lady returned?"
The family shook his head.
"Then let Qi Yuelin and Qi Ran receive them first, I'll ......"
Qi Wei was stunned, his expression was solemn, and before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.
