Chapter 157: Countermeasures (2-in-1)
Xu Xinyao hesitated slightly, silently stopped, and stood aside.
After Xu Yuan finished the operation in an orderly manner, he used the prohibition to seal the remnant soul of the saint, and suddenly said inadvertently:
"By the way, Xu Changge may be by his father's side."
Hearing this, Xu Xinyao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the wound on the back of her hand:
"Third brother. Are you worried that I will sue my eldest brother? ”
"Sue?"
Xu Yuan glanced at her and muttered, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He remembered some of his previous memories.
Boys like leather when they are young, and their father doesn't care, so only the eldest brother takes care of it.
Xu Xinyao, as the only girl in the family, as the eldest brother, Xu Changge loves her very much.
And Xu Xinyao is an angry character, and she will only cry secretly when she is wronged, but the problem is that Xu Changge can see that she has cried as soon as they meet, and every time it comes to such a time, Xu Changge will take him out and beat him without saying a word.
Because the entire Xiangguo Mansion is the only one who will provoke Xu Xinyao.
This eldest brother's personality has been more or less problematic since he was a child, and it doesn't matter what the facts are, he just thinks about it, don't you feel it.
The boss is total.
If the four cubs in the family are there, this situation will evolve most of the time into him scolding Xu Changge while running away, Xu Changge walked quickly with a calm face to beat people, Xu Xinyao pulled the eldest brother to persuade him, and the second brother Xu Changan blocked in front of him and tried to reason with the eldest brother.
The second brother Xu Changan likes to reason with people the most, and he has basically never lost in reasoning.
But the problem is that although the second brother can talk about Xu Changge, he can't beat it.
In the end, the literary fight evolved into a martial fight, Xu Xinyao was crying and persuading on the side, and the brothers were beaten together.
I don't know how many times this kind of picture has been staged in the Xiangguo Mansion.
afterward
Later, he was the only one left in the house, and everyone else left.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan shook his head slightly:
"It doesn't matter, you can talk about this if you want to, anyway, will I return to the imperial capital for a while and a half."
Xu Xinyao lowered her eyes and looked at the wound on the back of her hand:
"This matter is Xin Yao's fault, and the third brother is fighting."
Xu Yuan didn't pay attention to her anymore.
After about two quarters of an hour after the formation was activated, the belated communication on the other end picked up, and his voice was as calm as ever:
"Long days?"
Xu Yinhe seemed to be in the downtown area, and his voice was slightly noisy.
"Well, father, it's me." Xu Yuan replied.
As his words fell, the noise from the communication crystal suddenly disappeared, and it should be that the other party used some means to block the surrounding sounds:
"There is something to do, it should be for the sake of Shengshan County that you are looking for your father now?"
Xu Yuan nodded:
"yes, yes."
"Because Shengshan County was destroyed?"
Xu Yinhe's deep voice asked such a question calmly, and he couldn't hear the slightest wave, and seemed to be ready for the slaughter of the entire Shengshan County.
Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
He used the communication wafer crystal in Huanglongji to inform the father that he clearly stated the general situation, and the approximate time that Shengshan County could hold on, and the other party just listened calmly at the time, but before this father had accurately predicted what was happening here in his heart.
If he hadn't met Xu Xinyao halfway, then there was a high probability that this Shengshan County would have been slaughtered at this moment.
After a pause, Xu Yuan replied in a low voice:
"Nope."
"No?"
Xu Yinhe's voice was still calm, and he turned to say, "It seems that something has happened. ”
"I met the fourth sister in Huanglongji." Xu Yuan's words were crisp.
"Little four?"
Xu Yinhe's voice brought a hint of surprise, and then Gujing Wubo's voice brought a hint of laughter: "It's quite a coincidence, she's by your side now?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Yuan.
Xu Xinyao on the side said in a low voice: "Father." ”
Hearing this voice on the other end of the communication wafer, he was silent for a while, but said softly:
"Don't blame yourself too much, this matter has nothing to do with you, my father will handle it, talk to your third brother well, you haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xu Xinyao clenched her fists and did not speak.
Xu Yuan listened and shook his head gently.
My father always treated his family like this.
When his children do things, he comes to wipe his buttocks, and even if the sky falls, he will stand on top of it.
However, Xu Yuan still said loudly:
"Father, Xiao Si should reflect on this matter, she trusts the sect too much."
"Huh?"
Xu Yinhe hesitated, smiled and said, "Don't blame your sister too much, your brother can't see her being wronged." ”
Xu Yuan chuckled and said:
"I can't see what, it's really her fault in this matter."
Xu Yinhe smiled when he heard this, and spit out three words:
"It's progressed."
After a pause, Xu Yinhe brought the topic back on track, and a voice came:
"Since Shengshan County has been saved, you should be looking for me to talk about the Vientiane Sect."
"Hmm." Xu Yuan nodded.
Xu Yinhe asked in a deep voice:
"Lou Ji's people just went to Huanglongji to get the prisoner you mentioned, how do you want your father to deal with the Vientiane Sect?"
Xu Yuan didn't speak, but glanced sideways at Xu Xinyao beside him and motioned for her to come.
Xu Xinyao's eyes flashed with light, bit the corner of her lip, and said in a low voice:
"Father, there should be a lot of uninformed people in the Vientiane Sect."
Xu Yinhe didn't speak, only the sound of gentle breathing came.
Xu Xinyao continued:
"The people who want to do something to Shengshan County should be that group of high-level people, can you?"
"Alas"
Xu Yuan sighed low at this time, looking at Xu Xinyao with a little disappointment in his eyes.
Xu Xinyao saw the third brother's gaze, and swallowed directly halfway through the words.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"Father, I agree with Xin Yao's words, I don't recommend taking action against the Vientiane Sect immediately, but the reason is different from hers."
Xu Yinhe came from the communication wafer:
"Tell me about it."
Xu Yuan glanced at the fourth sister with lowered eyes and clenched fists, and said in a low voice:
"Now the first thing we are thinking about is not how to take revenge, but how to stop the disaster relief, with the current situation in Shengshan County, there is not one in ten border troops, and the official system has been paralyzed, in addition to medicine and food, so many people and demon beasts have died, and there is a high probability that there will be a plague in the future, and these series of things require silver taels."
“.”
There was a little silence, and Xu Yinhe's voice came:
"Changtian, do you mean not to attack the Vientiane Sect, and use this reason to ask for silver and materials as compensation?"
Xu Yuan's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a calm voice:
"It's just not going to do it now.
"Father, you should be able to know that whether it is Pingning Mansion, where Shengshan County is located, or Xizezhou, the financial deficit is very large, and there is no way to get the disaster relief money, if you want to provide disaster relief, you can only go to your side, not to mention the time problem, after layer by layer of exploitation, it is already very good to get half of the money and grain in the hands of Shengshan County.
"What's more, the current situation is not suitable for attacking the Vientiane Sect."
Xu Yinhe was quiet for a while, and his voice was full of interest:
"Go on."
Xu Yuan continued in a low voice after a little consideration:
"First, now that the spring tide of the year has not subsided, it is difficult for the officials and troops of Xizezhou to send enough elites to deal with the Vientiane Sect, if they transfer troops from other places, there is a high probability that they will be discovered by these sects, and the matter will not be killed by the Vientiane Sect, and they must be ready to jump over the wall in a hurry. The Vientiane Sect had been operating in Xizezhou for hundreds of years, and if they started a rebellion, the losses would be great. ”
"Never start a war when the other side is well prepared."
“.”
When the words fell, Xu Yinhe smiled, very lightly, but Xu Yuan heard it.
The huge secret room was silent for a moment, and then the communication wafer flashed again:
"Go on."
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and continued:
"Second, there is a high probability that the huge indemnity will cause infighting within the Vientiane Sect, in the face of common interests, they are unanimous, but in the face of such a thing as reparation, they will not be monolithic, they will only work hard to reduce their own losses by putting the black cauldron of the matter exposed."
Xu Yinhe listened carefully and asked indifferently:
"If so, what if they won't pay it?"
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"They won't pay back, at most they will let us hand over the witnesses and all the relevant information, and the moment we reach cooperation, we have become accomplices, and we will also be implicated if they poke out the matter again."
Xu Yinhe's voice was still not in a hurry:
"In that case, how can we do it again to the Vientiane Sect in the future?"
Xu Yuan smiled in a low voice:
"You don't need a reason later."
“.”
The words fell, and there was silence.
And then
Xu Yinhe smiled, and this time his laughter was clearly heard in the silent stone house:
"Oh, I really don't need a reason in the future, Changtian, is there anything else?"
"Of course."
Xu Yuan replied, glancing at Xu Xinyao with a complicated face on the side:
"Third, and most importantly, just like what you did before, father, this behavior can send a signal to the sect, our Xiangguo Mansion has softened, you have dispelled the intention of rectifying the sect, and we have begun to prepare a way out."
"Well said."
Xu Yinhe praised lightly, but immediately denied: "But Changtian, you missed the most important point." ”
Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly surprised: "What? ”
Xu Yinhe's voice was smooth:
"Only when the knife is on the neck, the sect will back down, and even if the compensation for the bleeding of the Vientiane Sect is agreed, they will only squeeze it out little by little, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years will not be finished, never overestimate their bottom line, their bottom line has no lower limit."
Xu Yuan frowned:
"Father, that's it."
Xu Yinhe said lightly:
"I have already asked Yuan Hao to secretly pull out from Anfeng Zhou in batches with 40,000 Black Scale Army in the name of supporting the border."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed.
After so many years, the Vientiane Sect has lost the consciousness of the original founding ancestor of "the Son of Heaven guards the country", and moved the site of its sect to the easternmost part of Xizezhou, near the border with Anfengzhou.
Moreover, he knows the entire Yuan Hao, in Cangyuan.
A high-level cadre under this father, because his personality is too prominent, Xu Yuan remembered this middle and late BOSS.
An out-and-out war maniac.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts and asked with a little hesitation:
"But wouldn't such an act cause the Vientiane Sect dog to jump off the wall in a hurry?"
Xu Yinhe replied:
"No one can approach near the barracks, these 40,000 Black Scale troops are counted in teams (fifty people), and they will rush to it in batches, and they will converge when they are close to Vientiane City."
When Xu Yuan heard this, his eyes were slightly stunned.
How dare the armies of this world rush to such a hurry and break into pieces under such communication conditions?
And on such a march, what to do with the baggage? What to do with the weapons of war? What should I do if a team gets lost halfway?
However, after thinking about it for a moment, Xu Yuan was also roughly relieved.
Fifty people as a unit can ensure secrecy while maintaining the basic structure and discipline, as for the baggage and equipment, it can be airlifted through the Sumeru ring and flying demon beasts, after all, this transfer of troops belongs to the transfer within the territory, there is no ambush and the like, and the official road of Dayan is extremely developed, there are many post stations along the way, and it is basically impossible to get lost without deliberately drilling into the old forest in the mountains.
Moreover, most of these soldiers should have been trained from the Cheonan Martial Arts Hall.
This transcendent world cannot be measured by the ancient patterns of warfare in previous lives.
After pondering for a long time, Xu Yuan said softly:
"Father, how long will it take to march like this?"
Xu Yinhe naturally knows this well:
"Calculating the time, most of the soldiers will be able to join forces in Vientiane City in about twenty years."
Saying that, Xu Yinhe paused:
"When the time comes, you go and talk to the people of the Vientiane Sect for a long time."
“.” The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped.
Ban Yu,
Xu Yuan popped out a word: "Me? ”
"Nature." Xu Yinhe said slowly: "Yuan Hao is violent by nature and is not suitable for negotiation, so you go." ”
Xu Yuan coughed lightly: "Father, are you sure you want me to go?" ”
Xu Yinhe's voice was soft:
"I wasn't sure if I wanted you to go, but now I'm sure.
"Of course,
"If you don't want to go, you can also refuse."
Xu Yuan thought about it, and still replied:
"I'll go."
Xu Yinhe lightly buckled the case in front of him: "Don't have a burden in your heart, even if you don't negotiate, it doesn't matter." ”
After a pause, Xu Yuan asked:
"Father, can I take Xin Yao with me?"
“.” Xu Xinyao.
Xu Yinhe did not immediately agree, but asked:
"Xin Yao, would you like to go with your brother?"
Xu Yuan looked back at her, and Xu Xinyao nodded lightly:
"This matter started because of Xin Yao, so I am naturally willing."
Xu Yuan chuckled:
"Father, if that's the case, I'll make some preparations."
Xu Yinhe didn't mean to hang up immediately, but just said:
"Don't worry, my father has something else to look for you."
Xu Yuan froze when he heard this, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Father, you say."
Xu Yinhe groaned for the first time, and said in a low voice:
"I came out of the Marquis Wucheng Mansion just now."
"Marquis Wu Cheng?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously thought of the county lord named Mu Zhiyun: "Something to do with me?" ”
Xu Yinhe did not deny:
"yes, relevant."
"Father, be blunt."
"You're old and weak."
“.”
Hearing this familiar word, Xu Yuan sighed in his heart and didn't speak.
Seeing that Xu Yuan didn't speak for a long time, Xu Yinhe coughed lightly:
"Marquis Wu Cheng agreed to let you go back to the imperial capital, and asked for a family affair for your father."
