There was a meeting in Huzhou that decided the situation in Huzhou, and the Taiqing Palace in Qizhou ushered in a family banquet that decided the fate of the entire Central Plains.

said it was a family banquet, but in fact there were only three fathers and sons.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Lie, Xiao Jin.

The three of them sat down separately, Xiao Lie looked at his two sons, with an unprecedented faint smile on his face, sincerely gratified.

Especially the eldest son, it was not until this moment that Xiao Lie had to admit the fact that he was old.

The three sons of the Xiao family are famous all over the world and are known as the three Xiaos by the world. From time to time, a Jiangnan scholar said: "The Xiao family controls the world, and it is said that there are three Xiaos, Gai Lie is the old Xiao, Yu is the big Xiao, and Jin is the small." After this commemorative "leaps and bounds", Xiao Jin can already reach the position of Xiao Yu's shoulders, and his face has gradually grown, not like Xiao Yu Xiao Lie, but more like his biological mother, Princess Ling'an, and even similar to Emperor Zheng Qin Gong, who has died at the hands of Xiao Yu.

Now every time Xiao Yu sees Xiao Jin, he will bring up some memories that he doesn't want to remember, and then he will be angry and disgusted with Xiao Jin. Although Xiao Yu has never shown this disgust on his face, Xiao Jin has noticed it, so Xiao Jin has rarely appeared in front of Xiao Yu recently. Just like today, if Xiao Yu hadn't called his name, he wouldn't have come to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Jin picked up a cup of tea and sipped it lightly, slightly considered his words, and said softly: "In my opinion, the Wei Ban is advancing smoothly, and there is no need for us to continue to compete with Lu Qian on the river, it is better to put the main force in Huzhou and overcome the enemy's shortcomings with our own strengths." ”

Xiao Lie shook his head and said: "Transferring the troops of the entire Jiangbei to the northwest, and then entering Shuzhou from the northwest, is no less than a labor expedition, and its consumption is so great that we may not be able to afford it." Taking a step back, even if we can afford it, Jiangbei is empty of troops, if Lu Qian takes the opportunity to cross the Jiangbei Expedition at this time and fight all the way to the eastern capital, then we will be in a dilemma. ”

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Father is reasonable. The previously set policy of dividing the troops between the two roads will not change, after all, this battle of crossing the river is no longer just a battle of the world, Jiangdu and Qizhou have gathered more than two pairs of free immortals, they are not here to see our troops, this battle is inevitable. ”

was vetoed by his father and brother, Xiao Jin didn't look angry, just nodded again and again, and then lowered his head to drink tea.

Xiao Yu took out a letter from the red sandalwood bookcase in his hand, and continued: "According to the latest spy report of the Secret Guard Mansion, Lu Qian has made a desperate bet, except for the necessary defenders and Jiangdu water divisions, the rest of the armies, including Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou, have all begun to move in the direction of Huzhou, which is enough to make the entire territory of Huzhou a battlefield. ”

Xiao Jin frowned and asked, "Lu Qian, this is to turn the entire Huzhou into a quagmire, so as to slow down the pace of our Northwest Army?"

Xiao Lie said slowly: "Lu Qian can see clearly, use Huzhou to drag Wei Ban, and then force us to have a decisive battle with him on the river, as long as he can defeat us on the frontal battlefield, then Huzhou's gains and losses have nothing to do with the overall situation, and Wei Ban's lone army is destined to be useless." ”

Xiao Yu closed the movement in his hand, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that this Grand Governor is very confident in Jiangdu Water Master." ”

Xiao Lie sighed, "I had to put him back in Jiangdu at the beginning, but I finally let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless disasters." ”

Xiao Yu said flatly: "Since it is a last resort, it is a helpless thing." Taking a step back, even if there is no Lu Qian, others will stand up, as long as Fu Chen is still in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan Shi clan will not easily submit. ”

Speaking of this, an undisguised look of slaughter appeared on Xiao Yu's face, "Back then, Fu Chen single-handedly plotted the prince's rebellion, first destroyed the Fang family, and then almost put my Xiao family to death. ”

As soon as Xiao Yu said this, the father and son suddenly fell silent.

In any case, the prince's rebellion was a hurdle that could not be bypassed between father and son, especially between Xiao Lie and Xiao Yu.

The father and son have been against each other for nearly ten years, although they have now reconciled, but it is like a broken mirror reunion, which is not the original time.

This is already a knot between the two of them, up and down in the northwest, and even up and down the entire Jiangbei, I'm afraid that except for Lin Yinping, no one dares to take the initiative to mention it.

It's okay not to open the layer of window paper, the scar is torn, Xiao Yu's face has a rare hideous color, and he sneered: "Emperor Zheng was the one who operated the knife back then, but he is dead, and he has lost a Qin family, so it is two Qing, but Fu Chen's account of the person who pretends to be a ghost behind the scenes has not been calculated clearly, Yuchen and Yinping are both from the Fu family, I will not anger the Fu family, but Fu Chen and his heirs must not be left behind!"

Xiao Lie, who was already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, was silent at first and then gloomy, his eyes were lonely, he didn't justify anything, and sighed: "You and I father and son are of the same heart, and I have given up my life for my father, and I want to get an explanation back from Fu Chen." ”

Xiao Yu gently turned the blue-white wrench on his thumb and did not speak.

Counting carefully, there are really a lot of big people who died at the hands of Xiao Yu.

Not counting second-rate characters such as Tang Lie, the old lady of the Tang family, and the Zhao family in Zhongzhou. The Red Lady who once mastered most of the grassland was hanged by Xiao Yu with a bowstring, Emperor Qin Gong of Dazheng was killed by Xiao Yu's lifeless sword qi, and Mr. Zhang Zai, the leader of the Confucian sect, Hengqu, many times, Xiao Yu didn't mind killing people with his own hands, and now he just wanted to kill one more person.

If he kills Fu Chen with his own hands, then the killing in the first half of his life can be regarded as a complete merit, and he can calm down and do good deeds in the second half of his life.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yu slowly spoke: "Okay, let's come here today, my father and Huaiyu will rest." ”

Xiao Lie was the first to get up and leave.

When Xiao Jin passed by Xiao Yu's side, Xiao Yu suddenly asked: "Huaiyu, in the world you saw, I should have died in Xu Lin's Northern Expedition to the grassland, my father died in the Yuandu Temple Change, and Qingchen became the leader behind the Daomen, so what about Fu Chen?

Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "In fact, in the world I saw, the Daomen suffered heavy losses because of infighting, and in the end, it was the Buddha Gate that benefited. Compared with today's Buddhism, there is one more Lotus Master in that Buddhism, and after Cha Mang ascended the throne of God, it was this Lotus Master who took over the position of the presiding officer of the Pastoral Temple. Recently, I have asked a number of Buddhist monks, but they have replied that there is no such person. So I suspect that this Lotus Master is today's White Lotus Sect Leader Fu Chen, after all, the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are also born from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. ”

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand to signal that Xiao Jin could leave.

After Xiao Jin left, Xiao Yu gently turned the Bodhi Zi on his wrist and whispered to himself: "Dharma body, response body, and retribution? ”
