Chapter 577: Hostage

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he put down the paperwork in his hand, his mind turned, and said with a smile: "He really came to Xin Jiyao, a woman, and he is quite trustworthy" As he spoke, he raised his head and said: "Bring him to the study."

"It's Brother Xiu" Xiao Jue went out of the house in person, and when he arrived outside the gate of the mansion, he looked up and saw that there were three people standing at the gate, all dressed in civilian clothes. The one at the head, dressed gorgeously, looks like a beautiful man who is a noble son, is not Xin Jicheng or anyone

Xiao Jue stepped forward and said with a smile: "Childe, please inside." Since the identity of the other party is a secret envoy, he naturally does not want to reveal his true identity, and Xiao never calls the other party by name or surname, only by calling him a son.

Xin Jicheng glanced at Xiao Jue, he had seen him in Xijing, he thought he was just a little attendant by Shangguan Xiu's side, but he didn't expect to be so smart. Xin Jicheng's cold expression softened, bowed back to Xiao Jue, and then walked into the Zhenguo Mansion with two entourages.

He came to Beijing this time, purely because he was forced to come by his little sister Xin Jiyao. Thinking that the third son of his Xin's family was going to run to the country of wind and serve as a hostage to Shangguan Xiu, how could he be willing.

When Xin Jiyao made this request to him, his nose was almost crooked, and he wanted to press her to the ground and slap her buttocks, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat her.

Later, Xin Jiyao was moved by his affection and reason, and repeatedly guaranteed his safety, and even His Majesty and grandfather were moved out by her, Xin Jicheng was really worn out by her, so he had to respond to his little sister's request. Tree like a web address: Closing the Mouth and Heart Chapter

In fact, if Xin Jicheng really doesn't want to come, no one can force him to come, for the little sister alliance Wind Country, swallowing Besa's strategy, he raised his hands in favor, in his opinion, this is currently the most beneficial national policy of the country, if the implementation is successful, the country can successfully take Duki, and annex a large area of Besa's territory, the national strength will get a qualitative leap, of course, the Wind Country will also take a big advantage from it, but that's all later.

In the future, there will naturally be people in the future to deal with it. It is imperative to take the Dookie first and improve the national strength of the country.

In the study, Shangguan Xiu and Xin Jicheng met.

Seeing Xin Jicheng, who had come from afar and was in the dust, the corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, and he laughed out loud, and said, "Mr. Xin, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." The last time was in Xijing, and this time it was in Shangjing, and the fate is not shallow."

Xin Jicheng muttered weakly in his stomach. He bared his teeth at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Lord Shangguan, please be a guest in the Wind Country, how dare you not come?"

In Xin Jicheng's tone, his dissatisfaction and helplessness could be heard. Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xin, please take a seat." ”

While speaking, he also deliberately looked at Xin Jicheng's two subordinates standing outside the study. He smiled and asked, "This time, Mr. Xin didn't mix his sister with the servants again." ”

Shangguan Xiu didn't mention Xin Jiyao, it was better, as soon as Xin Jiyao was mentioned, he was sulky. He snorted twice and said, "She has now returned to the group army, and she is in a hurry to prepare military supplies, armaments, and rations, so how can she have time to accompany me to Fengguo." ”

After a pause, he changed his words, glanced at Shangguan Xiu deeply, and said: "My little sister has always been crazy and bold, I really didn't expect that Lord Shangguan would support her idea and be willing to follow her to go crazy together." ”

When he said this, he was mainly testing the sincerity of Shangguanxiu's cooperation.

Shangguan Xiu understood what he meant, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "General Xin's idea is very crazy and bold, but it is also very feasible. ”

"So, what Lord Shangguan thinks is feasible, is it also what the Imperial Court of the Wind Country thinks is feasible?" Xin Jicheng asked with a smile.

"Sister Ling has a saying that is very right, she will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside. ”

"It seems that Lord Shangguan has already made up his mind. It's so good, and it's worth it. Xin Jicheng said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu rubbed his hands and smiled helplessly: "Although it is said that the general will not be subject to the foreign monarch's life, but if he does not accept it, he must also have the capital to not be affected." At present, Besa is freezing cold, and the officers and men of our Zhenjun army are wearing single clothes, and they need to rush to make a large number of cotton clothes, and I hope that your country can give our army some assistance. ”

When Xin Jicheng heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to go over and slap Guan Xiu, and he wanted to laugh three times. He had never seen such a brazen commander of an army, and he was also the commander of a group army. Last time, he brazenly blackmailed himself with 20 million taels, but this time, he even intensified it, and asked for cotton clothes, what is the difference between this behavior and a profiteer

"Lord Shangguan, please say it directly, how much money do you want to blackmail me this time," Xin Jicheng asked with a roll of his eyes.

Shangguan Xiule was happy, and said slowly: "Why do you blackmail Mr. Xin to say so ugly, since we are fighting together, you and I are friendly forces, and if one side is in trouble, shouldn't the friendly army be reinforced?"

The point is that your Zhenjun Army is now very rich, and you are still trying to blackmail in every possible way, which is too much to say. I had contact with Shangguan Xiu once, and I knew what kind of person he was, Xin Jicheng didn't bother to talk to him, and asked straight to the point: "How much?"

"I roughly estimated that the cold protection of the whole army will need at least five million taels. ”

"So"

"Five million taels. ”

"The cold protection of your army is all provided by our country" Xin Jicheng raised his eyebrows.

"Zhenjun lacks resources, and our army is also short of food and clothing, and is tired of fighting"

"Okay, I got it. Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to finish speaking, Xin Jicheng couldn't help but interrupt his later words.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "Our army is currently training in Shah, not far from Ningnan, I believe that the supplies from Ningnan will soon be delivered to the hands of our army's officers and soldiers." ”

Xin Jicheng nodded, changed his words, and said with a smile: "I think that after you and I destroy Besa, Lord Shangguan should abandon the army and engage in business. ”

For his sarcasm, Shangguan Xiu was not angry, but also laughed on his back, and said: "By Mr. Xin's auspicious words, if there is really such a day, I will definitely invite Mr. Xin to come to the Wind Country to drink and have fun, and rest when he is drunk." ”

He has already taken advantage of it, if he doesn't let the family be happy, how can he suffocate Xin Jicheng to death

Xin Jicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he felt that he had never taken advantage of Shangguan Xiu. He asked, "I don't know, what position will I hold in the Zhenjun Army in the future?"

Shangguan Xiu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xin will be a staff member by my side, but will this be too wronged Mr. Xin?"

Xin Jicheng didn't have any doubts, he thought it was good, he didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Thank you, Lord Shangguan." "In his capacity as the deputy envoy of the Ningnan Foreign Affairs Office, he is only a nameless staff member by Shangguan Xiu's side, of course, he is a condescending talent.

However, he didn't really come to be an official in the Wind Country, it was just a pretense, and his real identity was just a hostage.

Being able to stay by Shangguan Xiu's side and keep an eye on his every move is the best arrangement in Xin Jicheng's opinion, at least he can judge whether Shangguan Xiu has the sincerity to cooperate with him.

"Ji Yao's Zhengxi Group Army is actively preparing for war, Lord Shangguan's Zhenjun Army, is it time to return to China and go north?"

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "I also have this intention, Mr. Xin, rest assured, in a few days, our army will evacuate Shah and go north to Fengjun." ”

Xin Jicheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Ji Yao and Shangguan Xiu reached an alliance, which would greatly promote an alliance between the two countries, draw the Wind Country to their side, and work together to deal with Besa, which would ensure that they were invincible, which was what the imperial court wanted most.

First through the alliance Shangguan Xiu, and then to achieve the goal of the alliance of the entire wind country, Ji Yao has made great contributions this time, and his status in the court will also be greatly improved, and Xin Jicheng also admires his little sister.

The arrival of Xin Jicheng allowed Shangguan Xiu and Xin Jiyao's plan to be officially implemented, and the war between Fengguo, Besa, and Ningnan began to gradually surface.

Alixa, one of Ian's henchmen, went to the Tavern for dinner today, as usual. It's a windy county-style tavern, and the food doesn't taste very authentic, but it's very much in line with Alixa's taste.

The guest tavern is located near the hotel, and after Alixai followed Ian to Shangjing, he came to this tavern to eat almost every day. Over the past few days, he has become a regular customer in the tavern, and when he saw Alixai, the shopkeeper warmly invited him in.

After ordering three dishes, one soup and one pot of wine, Aliksai ate the food and wine cleanly. Then, satisfied, he stood up and was about to go to the counter to settle the bill, when suddenly a young man of seventeen or eighteen bumped into him and walked quickly past him.

Alexei turned around, scolded in Besa dissatisfied, then walked to the counter, touched his waist, and suddenly found that his purse was missing. His face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously turned his head, only to see that the young man who had bumped into him just now was outside the tavern, looking around sneakily. He immediately understood what was going on, and shouted in a half-baked voice, "Don't run, you boy," and as he spoke, he chased after him.

It was better if he didn't shout, but as soon as he shouted, the boy was like a frightened rabbit, turning his head and running. Ariksey was furious, and then chased after him. The boy was like a loach, shuttling left and right through the crowd on the street, and in a short time, he got into a small alley on the side of the street.

Alixai didn't even think about it, and immediately followed. As soon as he entered the alley, and before he could chase a few steps, a person suddenly jumped down from the wall on the side of the alley, and this person was still pulling a hemp bag in his hand. As he jumped, the sack was firmly attached to Alexey's head.

At the same time, a man jumped down from the wall on the other side of the alley, this one carried a thick wooden stick in his hand, aimed at the round head covered in the sack, and slammed it down. This smack hit the top of Alexey's head, and the latter didn't have time to say a word, and fainted on the spot.
