Chapter 139: Bloody Blood
Xue Jian hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand to thank him: "Thank you, General, for your understanding." ”
Zhao Que smiled: "What's so considerate about this, you can't let the family members of the Assassin Shi of Yizhou starve to death, so that it seems that the Lord of the Assassin is an honest official and dedicated to the public, right?"
"What the general said is that there is indeed a crooked trend in the current Daxia officialdom, as if the officials need to starve to death in order to show their ability to rule. Xue Jian did it again, this time, there was no need for Zhao Que to tell him to sit down, Xue Jian finished speaking, and returned to his seat directly.
Two things, one is the granary grain, the second is about the Yinhan Dart Bureau, as the auxiliary general Zhao Gou Chen is not to blame for the past, as long as General Zhao leaves Nanyangzhou, he Xue Jian can erase all the hidden dangers of the two things, let the embroidered messenger with a scepter, tiger talisman to supervise, and can not find the slightest trace.
As for what can't be erased, just push it to Huo Fengkang.
How can the Huo family compare to the Xue family?
Anyway, Xue Jian's mind turned extremely fast, and he already had an established strategy.
The dish made Zhao Que and Gongsun Qingfeng eat almost enough.
Xue Jian saw that the two had no intention of leaving, so he took the time to ask the servant to remove the dishes and replace them with new dishes, and he made a small gesture and asked the servant to go and ask the back kitchen to raise the level of the dishes.
The servant followed Xue Jian for one or two decades, nodded without leaving a trace, and walked to the back kitchen with the plate.
New tea was served again.
The tea is also better than that of the right people.
Gongsun Qingfeng couldn't drink it, but he felt that the tea he was drinking now was more bitter in the mouth, the tea fragrance was stronger, and the color of the tea soup was more beautiful.
Zhao Que is also a half-ass, but he can smack out, and Xue Jian changed the tea.
So.
He pretended to be a pout.
Xue Jian immediately understood and explained: "General, the tea is from the family of the lower official, and it was sent by someone a few days ago, and I have been reluctant to drink it...... Ha ha. ”
Xue Jian smiled embarrassedly.
Why didn't Zhao Que take it out when he first arrived in his house? On the contrary, Zhao Que didn't blame some things for the past, so he generously took them out?
Zhao Que is not a person who grabs a little bit and does not let go, so he hummed softly: "Most of the Xue family is still good. ”
"Yes, although Xue Jian has been a prince for generations, for so many years, he has always pursued the concept of cultivating and reading heirlooms, however, with such a large family and so many heirs, it is inevitable that there will be a few pampered sons. Xue Jian sighed.
Last year's Midyear Festival, Xue Jian, a young son-in-law, spent a lot of money in the capital, attracting countless eyes, coincidentally, the son of King Yan and this person met, neither of them obeyed anyone, in the famous hook column in the capital, white flowers and silver two, thick Daxia treasure money, thrown out, and finally the prince of Yan Wang had strong financial resources, before the son of the Xue family ran away, he kicked the prince of Yan Wang angrily, and almost kicked the prince of Yan Wang out of the hook fence.
Not to mention, when the elders of the Xue family heard about this, they were shocked, and not only beat the young man, but also dragged the dying young man to apologize to the prince of Yan.
King Yan received the Xue family and laughed it off, not only did he not blame the Xue family, but also took the initiative to do business with the Xue family.
Fortunately, King Yan didn't want to cause trouble, and was replaced by other cautious princes, so Liang Zi was settled, and he didn't fight much and went to the temple, asking the Son of Heaven to make a decision, and this matter was not over.
Zhao Que smiled and did not comment.
Xue Jian asked in a low voice: "There happen to be a few excellent performances in the mansion, is the general interested in taking a look?
These are all trivial matters, Zhao Que looked at Xue Jian and said, "There is a history of Lao Xue's assassination." ”
"It's okay to do something, the general is in a good mood. Xue Jian hurriedly said.
Gongsun Qingfeng glanced at Xue Jian, who couldn't see what he was thinking, and said secretly, he was honest and honest in his performance, and in a blink of an eye, Xue Jian began to disclose extravagance little by little.
Of course, Xue Jian has confidence, and the confidence lies in Zhao Que can only ask him to open a warehouse and release grain, not others, as long as he opens a warehouse and releases grain to help the victims, only he can do it, Xue Jian himself knows very well, he is absolutely safe in front of the general.
Xue Jian led the way.
Zhao Que and Gongsun Qingfeng followed behind him.
It seems that he is taking the two of them to the backyard of the mansion.
Along the way, there is no need to talk about the pavilions.
The mansion where Xue Jian lives can definitely rank in the top ten in Jinlu City.
In the backyard, a special platform was built for listening to music.
The servants set up six stoves, and the stoves burned vigorously.
In this freezing and murderous winter, it is as warm as spring.
Zhao Que is accustomed to it, several times into Beijing, he has seen the luxury of dignitaries, Gongsun Qingfeng looked at all this in surprise, she really didn't expect that a person to enjoy life, actually enjoy such a point, don't forget, a large number of victims outside the city are still starving!
Xue Jian's image is getting lower and lower in Gongsun Qingfeng's heart, and this person's clever words make people feel disgusted.
The servant brought in a large table.
Tea sets are readily available.
Xue Jian said with a smile: "Wait a minute, the generals are preparing." ”
Zhao Que grabbed a handful of melon seeds that came up, knocked the melon seeds, and crossed Erlang's legs: "It's okay today, Zhao will wait." ”
Xue Jian cautiously asked, "The general won't be angry with the official, right?"
He didn't make it clear.
In the end, he described himself as poor just now, and now he suddenly called out the play, the image before and after is very different, or he has a murderous intention, and wants to take advantage of Zhao Gouchen's fall into the trap, and simply kill Zhao Gouchen.
Zhao Que shook his head: "My mind is changeable, Zhao doesn't blame you." ”
Xue Jian breathed a long sigh of relief, and ordered the servant who was waiting next to him to bring the dried fruits newly sent by the Xue family.
There are all kinds of dried fruits, and some of them have never even been seen by Zhao Que.
Zhao Que glanced at Gongsun Qingfeng, who was sulking alone, and said with a smile: "Haven't you seen it?" Hurry up and eat, if you eat slowly, I'll eat it all." ”
Xue Jian couldn't help laughing: "Miss Gongsun's name in the rivers and lakes, I have heard of it, I can only say that the heroes of the rivers and lakes have been young since ancient times, and the age of Miss Gongsun can achieve such a reputation, is it true, dare to ask the famous teacher who can teach Miss Gongsun, which master is the master on the rivers and lakes?!"
Gongsun Qingfeng had Zhao Gou Chen as a backer, ignoring Xue Jian, picking up strange dried fruits and stuffing them into his mouth.
Xue Jian was bored with himself, and laughed dryly.
Zhao Que said in a timely manner: "She has never seen the world, let alone seen such a big official as Xue Tingshi, Xue Tingshi won't mind, right?"
Xue Jian hurriedly waved his hand: "The general said that he was laughing, how could the lower officials mind?! It's too late to love, there are juniors with this young man's reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he must help him a lot in the future." ”
"That's right, you are such a big official of the Xue family, I don't think I will have a grudge against a little girl. Zhao Que quipped.
Knowing that if he continued to talk about it, he would only ask for his own hardships, Xue Jian changed his words and talked about the drama of singing on stage later.
The four actors are not from Jinlu City, they are only resident in Jinlu City to sing music, because they are beautiful and the songs they sing are good, a big family in the city borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and dedicated the four of them to Xue Jian.
There is no fun in winter, Xue Jian took it away, except for warming the bed, he usually listened to them singing alone.
If it weren't for the sudden increase in disaster victims in Nanyangzhou, and Ma Hechuan's visit to Nanyangzhou to increase his qualifications, this winter, Xue Jian's journey was so good, and it was also quite interesting.
The four actors all looked good, and they walked past Zhao Que, and the fragrance was blowing.
The young people who can sit with Xue Tingshi, they are by no means ordinary people, when Zhao Que's eyes fell on them, they all scratched their heads and gestured, trying to give Zhao Que a good impression, maybe Zhao Que was moved, so he took them in, how can serving a middle-aged man compare to serving a young handsome man?!
Xue Jian secretly observed Zhao Que's expression, and seeing that he was unmoved, he waved his hand: "Let's start." ”
The song sung is called "Singing the Golden Wisp".
Xue Jian was on the side, explaining to Zhao Que why there was the track "Singing Golden Wisps".
Zhao Que listened with relish, and nodded his head from time to time.
And Gongsun Qingfeng is worried about it, the general of the auxiliary country must not be confused by Xue Jian's tricks! Don't forget who we are for! But you must keep your original intention!
Dishes on a plate.
Color, flavor, and flavor.
Xue Jian explained a lot, of course, to explain why Fang Cai's table was home-cooked, and this table has become a lot better.
Zhao Que didn't pursue it, and nodded: "Qingfeng, eat quickly, there are so many good dishes, we can't eat them on weekdays." ”
Although the food in his stomach was almost digested, Gongsun Qingfeng lost the slightest appetite.
How can you still eat! How can you have the heart to eat!
Song after song.
Zhao Que and Xue Jian pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chewing and swallowing slowly.
The sunset in the western sky is full.
The dim sunlight shone on Zhao Que's body.
It made the four singers stunned, Zhao Que suddenly said that he was an immortal, heroic and elegant, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the son of the Taoist son, Zhilan Yushu.
Xue Jian's drunkenness was up, his cheeks were drunk, and he was so excited that he recited a famous poem for Zhao Que.
Halfway through, Zhao Que gently clapped his hands and suddenly paused.
"Xue Tingshi, Huo Zhoumu and Ma Hechuan went to quell the rebellion, so you don't have the slightest jealousy?"
Xue Jian smiled heartily with a sense of wine: "How can the lower officials be jealous? The general and listened to the lower officials, although the officials of the Ministry Zuo Lang Zhongma Hechuan, although they are conclusive, saying that the counterinsurgency is a great merit, hehe, he can only say that he underestimates Nanyangzhou, thinking that Nanyangzhou is so rich, and the people in the market must have lost their blood, but unfortunately, Ma Hechuan doesn't understand, on the big state in the world, the people of Nanyangzhou, the blood is difficult to cool, according to the lower officials, the two will definitely return in vain!"
Zhao Que bowed his head and recognized Xue Jian's analysis.
The prosperity of Nanyang does not belong to the people in the market, but to the dignitaries.
From the vendors selling fish soup, you can know that the people are holding back a lot of resentment in their hearts.
After raising grievances for so long, how could Ma Hechuan not be deflated?
"And then?" Zhao Que asked casually.
Xue Jian said freely: "General, there is a setback ahead, so it is naturally time for the subordinate to appear." In fact, the means to solve the rebellion of the people are very simple, it is nothing more than the four characters of Enwei and Shi, En, the requirements of the anti-army agree to what some of the subordinates can do, and kill some of the up-and-coming and disobedient people, the anti-army has become a source of water, and after a while, they will disperse. ”
"You're smarter than Huo Fengkang. Zhao Que was silent for a long time and said such a sentence.
Xue Jian borrowed wine to strengthen his courage and laughed: "General, how can Huo Fengkang compare to me?"
Too much talk can make you lose it all.
However, Xue Jian relied on Zhao Gouchen to order him to open a warehouse and release grain, and at this moment, he was bold and drunk, and he took advantage of the situation to show off to Zhao Gouchen.
Since he can say such a talk, Zhao Gouchen mentioned the payment of grain with his family, Xue Jiancheng has already agreed to half a point, and the remaining half a point, just wait for the three-day time limit to pass, Zhao Gouchen will go to the mansion again, and Xue Jian immediately agreed.
What he thought, Zhao Que knew clearly.
What Zhao Que thought, Xue Jian didn't know.
"Do you have any spy reports on where Ma Hechuan is here?" Zhao Que asked seemingly casually.
Xue Jian nodded and served wine for Zhao Queman: "Of course there is, Ma Hechuan should have arrived in Guan Guangcheng with Huo Fengkang today." ”
Cui Yuan, the silver feather of the lark, told him that Ma Hechuan and Huo Fengkang went to Lingchang City, and Xue Jian now told him that the two of them arrived in Guan Guangcheng today.
Who said it was true?
"General, the two of them originally planned to fight Lingchang City, but seeing that Lingchang City suddenly became a thief, Ma Hechuan was afraid, so he discussed with Huo Fengkang, and turned around to fight Guan Guangcheng, who didn't look like that, hehe, that Guan Guangcheng was the county guard who killed the county guard and rebelled, and the county was a person who could lead the troops, and the two of them couldn't get any benefit in the hands of this person. Xue Jian scoffed.
The assassin who sat in the rear ridiculed the officials in front of the rebellion, Zuo Langzhong, and the state pastor.
Zhao Que is the first time to see it.
"Are you sure the two of you are in Guan Guangcheng now?" Zhao Que Fu asked again.
Xue Jian nodded like pounding garlic: "Xiaguan is sure in every way!"
"Okay, I'm sorry for you. Zhao Que said abruptly.
Xue Jian was stunned when he heard this, what was going on? After talking about the whereabouts of the two of them, how did they become tired?
Besides, they didn't plan to hide the route of the march, in order to use the majesty of Great Xia to break through the psychological defense line of the anti-army thieves, and the news of their attack on Guan Guangcheng would also come in four or five days, and Xue Jian only knew about it for a few days.
Zhao Que drank: "There is another way to quell the rebellion, do you want to hear it?"
The general who fought on the battlefield and became famous took the initiative to provide a solution, how could Xue Jian not want to hear it.
He hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Listen to the lower officials!"
"The current defenders of Jinlu City, leave a part of it to prevent the victims from making a disturbance and maintain the order of relief, and the other soldiers will follow me to fight over. Zhao Que said calmly.
Hit the past?
Xue Jian's head didn't turn around, and said: "General, there are Ma Hechuan and Huozhou Mu ahead, they have enough soldiers, let's lead troops to fight over, I'm afraid it will add to the snake and the icing on the cake!"
Zhao Que looked at him and smiled: "Who told you that you went to suppress the rebellion?"
Ah!
Xue Jian's drunkenness immediately woke up for three points.
looked at Zhao Que in disbelief.
He asked in a frightened voice, "What do you mean by the general?"
"The rebellious people have their difficulties, and now, the two of them led the army to kill them, so that the people can see it, and they will think in their hearts that the government does not want to listen to their difficulties, you and I are going to 'stop' Ma Hechuan and Huo Fengkang at this moment, you have to think about it, who will the public opinion be directed to?!" Zhao Que said unhurriedly.
Needless to say, public opinion will definitely be in their favor.
They are all government soldiers and horses.
One side wants to suppress them bloodily, and the other side is willing to listen to them and spit out their bitterness, making it clear that if they surrender, they will definitely help them solve the problem!!
There is a way out, who will pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers and fight for an illusory future?
Xue Jian lowered his head slightly, his heart steaming.
"General, no!" In the end, Xue Jian vetoed.
Zhao Que has no military power, if he wants to lead the troops, he has to rely on him, the assassin history, although the state assassin history is responsible for supervision, and in the current situation, Xue Jian also has some military power.
Zhao Que motioned for him to sit down, don't be surprised: "Don't worry, after quelling the rebellion in Nanyangzhou, Zhao will never rob you of any credit, don't say that Ma Hechuan is killed, Huo Fengkang is dead, compared with your great achievements, it is nothing." ”
Xue Jian pleaded: "General, you can't do it!"
"What can't you do?" Zhao Que asked rhetorically, "Are you afraid of the forces behind Ma Hechuan and Huo Fengkang?
Xue Jian shook his head with difficulty: "General, in short, if you ask me to do other things, the lower officials will definitely go all out, do this, the lower officials can't do it." ”
He stretched his neck and waited for Zhao Que to cut it.
Zhao Que laughed, he just proposed, Xue Jian refused and it was understandable, after all, once he did this, he would affect his whole body.
got the news he wanted to know, and he didn't embarrass Xue Jian.
However, Zhao Que remembered Xue Jian's youngest daughter Xue Hanying, who came for the matter of Jinyi Niang.
I've listened to the music and eaten.
Zhao Que stood up and stretched his waist: "Xue Tingshi is busy with the hard work before and after, and the Gongsun girl and I will not disturb Xue Tingshi, so I will leave." ”
Xue Jian was still thinking about Zhao Que's proposal, and only came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and hurriedly said: "The general is here, the penglong is shining, the burrow is not ugly, and the subordinate is waiting for the general to come in three days." ”
Zhao Que looked at Xue Jian, who was honest, smiled meaningfully, and quickly left the Assassin's Mansion with Gongsun Qingfeng.
Until the two left, Xue Jian returned to the mansion, and his most beloved daughter Xue Hanying appeared in the corner, looking at her father's back that had been soaked in cold sweat, and greeted him, holding his arm.
"It's Hanying, have you finished reading today's book?" Xue Jian asked tiredly.
Xue Hanying's well-behaved chin head: "Daddy, Hanying has finished reading." ”
"Okay, it is worthy of being Xue's good daughter, that is, a disciple of the Holy Land of Martial Arts, and a master of the inheritance of the sages, Hanying, although Daddy has told you countless times, you still have to firmly remember that learning is endless, as long as you are alive, don't give up learning. Xue Jian said heavily.
Xue Hanying wondered what happened to her father today, with such a heavy tone, her father was never willing to treat her earlier.
"Daddy, don't worry, Han Ying wants martial arts to ascend and learn to ascend!" she almost swore to the sky.
Xue Jian was relieved and smiled: "My good daughter will not disappoint me! Okay! The woman does not let the eyebrows be written in the book, Xue Hanying is a daughter, and in the future, she will not be inferior to the general of the auxiliary country!"
The younger generation, as we all know, Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary country, is the apex.
There has been a patriarch of the family who has been inherited for hundreds of years and is about to approach a thousand years, and he sighed that he should give birth to a son like Zhao Gouchen.
Those few families who lived longer than the dynasty, how heroic they had never seen them? I still hope that there will be a young man like Zhao Gou Chen in the family.
"Daddy, who is the young man you have been with for a day?" Xue Hanying asked curiously.
Xue Jian didn't hide it from her, and said bluntly: "The head of the hundred generals of today's imperial court, Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary state. ”
Xue Hanying was speechless for a while.
"Haha, I was stunned, right? Daddy didn't expect that Zhao Gouchen would actually appear in Jinlu City, and he would actually come to find Daddy. Xue Jian now recalled what he had said to Zhao Gouchen, like a dream, and in a dream.
Xue Hanying instantly figured out who Chen Beican, who shone in the battle of Bluestone City, and who the young man who came into contact with the leader was.
It turned out to be all one person.
"What's wrong with you, daughter?" Xue Jian said strangely.
Xue Hanying hurriedly smiled and said, "Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary state, how can I not surprise my daughter when the big man I used to admire came to our house?"
"Hey, what our family, we just borrowed to live here. When Xue Jian talked about this, he suddenly felt that he was not interested in talking to Xue Hanying, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something, you go and let the kitchen cook it yourself, Daddy is tired for a day, go and rest first." ”
"Yes, Daddy. Xue Hanying made a blessing, turned around and was worried again.
How could she not think about it.
Now that she has figured it out, Zhao Gouchen is Chen Beican, and Zhao Gouchen, who has been in contact with the leader for so many days, does she also know that she is the lady of brocade?
Chen Beican's matter is not a secret among those of them who have an important position in Jinyi Niang, but they are not sure that Chen Beican's true identity is General Zhao Gou Chen!
And Xue Jian went to the backyard, and the four actors lined up in turn to wait for him.
He pointed to the two of them and walked towards the bedroom with his hands in his hands.
Xue Jian gave them a nice name, Stove Girl.
He himself thinks that the word "stove woman" is nice and appropriate.
At night in Jinlu City, the cold wind passed through the streets, the pedestrians were sparse and pitiful, and most of the shops were closed, and few were open.
Gongsun Qingfeng asked, "General, Xue Jian was murderous to you, and you spared him so easily?"
Zhao Que said helplessly: "Kill him, you will help me open a warehouse for many disaster victims to release grain?"
"That'...... Then Xue Jianyan was insincere, inconsistent, and you also spared him?" Gongsun Qingfeng asked angrily.
Zhao Que replied: "When the water is clear, there is no fish, and the truth is unbreakable." ”
Gongsun Qingfeng continued to ask: "Are you confused by Xue Jian!"
Zhao Que looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "What is my identity?"
"Of course it's the general of the auxiliary country!" Gongsun Qingfeng replied with a glance.
Zhao Que nodded, and sighed: "It turns out that I am the general of the auxiliary country, do you know, if I want to be prosperous and rich, want to have a lot of wealth, want a group of wives and concubines, and want hundreds of slaves, do you know how easy it is?"
There was a pause.
Zhao Que said with emotion: "It's just at your fingertips, ordinary people want to break their heads, and they can't imagine the prosperity and splendor, I just need to say the last sentence, I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries and families have to cry and beg me to accept it." ”
Gongsun Qingfeng was dumbfounded.
When she saw Zhao Que, she was the same as her, and she really thought that Zhao Que's days were limited to this.
"Listen to me, the least of them is to hold people's hearts accountable. ”
Gongsun Qingfeng nodded solemnly.
She was silent for a long time, accompanied Zhao Que across this street, and then walked through that street, "General, there's nothing else, I'm leaving." ”
"Are you gone?"
"Well, Jinlu City and even Nanyangzhou, there are great generals here, I don't need me, I want to go to Jiangjinzhou to see. There was disappointment in Gongsun Qingfeng's words.
Zhao Que thanked and said: "Thank you Miss Gongsun for accompanying me to Xue Jian's mansion, if you are not here, Xue Jian's careful thinking will only be more, not less." ”
He took Gongsun Qingfeng, which really made Xue Jian a little constrained.
Gongsun Qingfeng suddenly sighed: "I still have a lot to learn. ”
"Hmm. Zhao Que nodded.
He glanced down the alley not far away.
A black shadow flashed away.
"Let's go, go quickly, don't look back, if you go slowly, be careful that I use you as a maid. Zhao Que joked.
