Chapter 156: The Prodigal

In the private room on the second floor of Chunfeng Building, the one who bumped into Wei Xiangjun walked in, threw the cloak to the entourage behind him, and said with a smile: "Changbai, do you know who I just met?" ”

There was already a man in the private room, standing in front of the window facing the street, looking down and ignoring him.

The man had a beard, his hair was scattered, and he was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, which looked inconspicuous from a distance, and even a little sloppy, but if you looked closely, his phoenix eyes were deep, and he seemed to know everything in his heart.

Downstairs in the spring breeze, several carriages moved one after another after waiting for the master to get on the car. The man stared intently at one of them until the carriage disappeared from view.

"I think I'm looking at Miss Wei!"

The newcomer stepped forward and looked down.

The man closed the window coldly, turned around and hugged his fists and said, "His Royal Highness King Shou has gone smoothly all the way?" ”

The tip of Shouwang's nose was almost hit, and he touched it with his hand, "It's not dangerous, it's just that Changbai taught me to wait!" Have I noticed, Miss Wei is still dressed as a girl, and she is waiting to meet again today? ”

"She didn't know I was coming back."

Xu Qi gestured "please" to the round table in the middle, "I just saw her too." ”

When he said this, the corners of Xu Qi's lips hooked, and then cut to the chase, "Your Highness has arrived in Jibei, I don't know what to do next?" ”

King Shou lifted his robe and sat opposite Xu Qi, "What do you want to do?" Xiao Wang was lucky enough to leave a small life, and he survived for the rest of his life, but he lived for one day, and counted as one day. ”

On that day, he also had the ambition to return to Chang'an to compete with his eldest brother, who had no talent for governing the country, but he could not afford to compete with his eldest brother.

Some things are easy to do.

Above the court, King Shou has no foundation, in order to have his own people, he spent a lot of scheming, as well as silver.

Xu Qi always said that King Shou was in a hurry and didn't look down on the people he brought in.

But the lord is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and I am afraid that he will not live long. How can Shouwang not be in a hurry?

Someone is more anxious than him.

King Ping suddenly became troubled, and even framed King Shou for colluding with friends and intending to rebel.

King Shou was also panicked at that time, plus Xu Qi moved his mother's funeral, he happened to be not in Chang'an at that time, and he was in a hurry, he listened to the instigation of the people around him, and planned to rush into the palace and succeed in one fell swoop.

King Shou later learned that this was all a trap set for him by King Ping, and even his subordinates were planted by someone.

Later, the prince became a prisoner. If it weren't for Xu Qi to bring people to the rescue, King Shou would have to hit his head on the ground.

"Changbai, the grace of saving lives, this king remembers it in his heart!"

King Shou clenched his fists.

Aftermath. He must say this thank you himself.

When he rushed out of Chang'an City, King Ping's men and horses were pressing forward step by step.

It was Xu Qi who changed into the clothes of King Shou and led people to lead the pursuers away first, so that he could have a chance to escape from another way.

From that moment on, King Shou finally regarded Xu Qi as the most trustworthy person.

In Chang'an City, everyone knows that Xu Guogong takes Xu Qi, the little grandson, very seriously.

But Xu Qi didn't listen to his arrangement, and spent all day drinking and singing night after night, so he had to pretend to be a prodigal.

No one knows, behind the scenes, Xu Qi has been giving advice to King Shou.

According to him, King Shou has the grace of saving his life, and he should repay him with a spring.

It's just that King Shou didn't fully trust Xu Qi at that time. After all, Xu Guogong is not only the master of the lord, but also takes King Ping with him and assists him in ascending to the throne.

King Shou didn't believe it, Xu Qizhen had the guts to betray his surname.

As a nobleman, he has seen too much deception, and King Shou wants to use Xu Qi, but he has doubts.

So Xu Qi arranged for him to meet some of the generals, but King Shou disliked them for being too young and did not have much military power, and he unconsciously speculated about Xu Xingji, so they were basically perfunctory.

Until now, King Shou regretted it too late.

"Jibei may not be a place to stay."

Xu Qi made a cup of tea for King Shou, "King Ping has already represented Daliang and formed an alliance with the Qi State. At this moment, His Royal Highness ran to Jibei, as if he had come to give people their heads. If I am the lord of Jibei, such a good hostage, I should laugh at myself. ”

"On that day, I made an agreement with the lord of Jibei Kingdom, if I succeeded, the two countries would become good friends with Qin and Jin, and I would send him mineral deposits. I'm sincere. ”

King Shou's eyelids twitched, "Besides, the alliance with the Qi State was not done by me." ”

Xu Qi was amused, "People are just betting, if King Shou can ascend to the throne, it will naturally be beneficial to him." But now, Your Highness ...... There is no place to use. ”

Shouwang's face fell, "Where else can I go?" ”

He didn't have any connections in Liang State, and the only foreign monarch he knew was Jibei. If he can't stay here, he'll probably have a dead end in front of him.

Xu Qi laughed, "This time, King Shou has to thank your brother." If it weren't for his eagerness for quick success, he would not have brought a chance to the Qi State so quickly. ”

"What chance?"

King Shou stared at Xu Qi.

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend. When His Royal Highness saw the Lord of Jibei, he knew what to say. ”

Xu Qi turned his head and glanced at the window, and took out a scroll from his arms, "By the way, give this thing to that person with your own hands."

"What's in there?"

King Shou took it with a puzzled expression.

"In my humble opinion, Yue Wuyi is in the limelight, and within half a year, the Qiliang allied army will definitely be defeated at Wusheng Pass. When the time comes, if Jibei takes advantage of the victory to pursue and wants to subdue the Qi country once and for all, this thing will help them. ”

Shou Wang's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the scroll.

It turned out to be a map.

"Jinyang Pass...... Where? ”

"The largest pass in the Qi Kingdom, the importance is equal to that of Jibei Wusheng Pass."

After looking at Xu Qi for a long time, King Shou slapped the table and said excitedly: "Xu Qi, if I am the king in the future, I will make you a ......."

Xu Qi immediately coughed and reminded King Shou that in the end, other people's territory needs to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

King Shou also came to his senses and lowered his voice, "How did you get this thing?" If Jibei can fight over, Qi Guo will not be raided. ”

"They don't fight, Your Highness don't say too much. Just remind the one to be sure to see the timing. ”

After Jibei was destroyed in the previous life, the Qi State had no accident and aimed the spearhead at the girder.

At that time, it was Xu Qi who led a group of generals, taking advantage of the Qi army to fight all the way to Chang'an, secretly sneaked into Jinyang Pass, and took Jinyang Pass within three days with their main force.

It was this move that surrounded Wei to save Zhao and completely hurt the vitality of Qi State.

Xu Qi made great achievements, and became the head of the Xu family without dispute, rising step by step in the court, and then fell down hard.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi couldn't help but smile.

In this life, he has always taken the lead, and he may be able to take a different path.

"Why don't you go back and follow me into the palace?"

King Shou was a little timid again.

Xu Qi stood up, "Your Highness forgot, I'm a dead person here." ”

"Where are you going?"

Seeing that Xu Qi was leaving, King Shou immediately panicked, "You can't leave me!" ”

"Someone will come to meet His Highness in a while, and it's none of my business, I'll go around the streets."

Xu Qi said, raised his feet and walked out.

Waiting for Xu Qi to go outside, King Shou, who was in a good mood, looked left and right, "Guess what, where did this one go?" ”

The crowd did not dare to respond.

These entourages were personally selected and trained by Xu Qi in Chang'an, and they were called elite soldiers, and Xu Qi regarded them as a sharp blade in his hands.

The first time the blade came out of the sheath, it was Xu Qi who led them to rescue King Shou, and escorted him all the way to Jibei.

King Shou is just the person they want to protect, and the real master is Xu Qi.

Who dares to talk about the master behind his back.

"I want to come to Changbai for too long in Chang'an."

Shouwang laughed, and a slender figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

He wanted to come to Jibei with all his heart, but it wasn't also for someone.

Wei Xiangjun had an inexplicable kiss in Chunfeng Building, thinking that this was the end of the page, but he didn't want to have ...... Subsequent.

Early this morning, Wei Xiangjun was invited back from the main cultivation hall by the servant woman sent by Mrs. Xiao.

She had just arrived in Xifu, and Wei Dongheng also happened to come back from the court.

The servant woman didn't explain it, but said that there was a guest at home.

Father and daughter didn't know what was going on, and entered the main hall together.

When he saw the person sitting inside, Wei Xiangjun felt bad.

"This is Master Hou, right?"

Mrs. Xing was familiar with herself and took the initiative to come over to greet her.

Wei Dongheng looked dazed, and Mrs. Xiao introduced him from the side, but he didn't react until Mrs. Xiao said, "Mrs. Xing is the younger brother and daughter-in-law of Mrs. Yue's mother's family." ”

At this time, Wei Dongheng suddenly realized and glanced at Wei Xiangjun.

Wei Xiangjun looked helpless, and thought about finding an excuse to take Wei Dongheng outside to advise.

"When children get married, they should be at the behest of their parents. Today's concubine is abrupt, so let's come over to discuss marriage! ”

Mrs. Xing opened her mouth with a smile, "Before I came, Mrs. Yue also said that she wanted to be a matchmaker for the two children. ”

Wei Xiangjun's brows furrowed.

The county lord of Fuhui said that he would help her reject others, but that little fool would turn his head and forget about it.

Mrs. Xiao gave Wei Dongheng a look, naturally asking him to call the shots.

"This ......"

Wei Dongheng hesitated for a long time, "Mrs. loves her little daughter, and we are grateful." Let's discuss this marriage? This girl grew up in front of her master and mother, and she had to ask them what they thought. ”

Wei Xiangjun breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Wei Dongheng would be reckless and agreed.

"Lady of the Hou Mansion, how can you still ask others to nod your head in marriage?"

Mrs. Xing's smile was a little stiff, and her words even revealed a little dissatisfaction, "Mrs. Yue should go down, and I will ask the queen mother to marry the two children." ”

Wei Dongheng glanced at Wei Xiangjun, who had a calm face, and said, "I heard from Clumsy Jing that Mrs. Yue intends to be a matchmaker. It's just that in the end, it's my daughter's life. I haven't seen that kid before, and it's too early to mention the marriage. ”

"It's okay, I'll let someone call Tong'er over."

Mrs. Xing was very anxious.

Wei Xiangjun couldn't help it, "Please forgive me, the little girl has already reported to the lord of Fuhui County last time, and the little girl thinks she is vulgar, and she may not be a good match with Ling Lang." When I went back, I personally pleaded guilty with Mrs. Yue. ”

In the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

"Miss Wei doesn't have to be modest, since we have picked you, we think that you are worthy of me."

Mrs. Xing's face pulled down.

She got Mrs. Yue's reply today, and she couldn't swallow this breath.

The Marquis of Hanxiang is not a powerful person in the court, and Wei Xiangjun was also engaged to be married. If it weren't for the fact that this girl had some connections in the palace, Mrs. Xing would not be like her.

After all, it is the son's career that matters.

It's just that she didn't expect to meet someone who didn't know how to lift.

Just when Wei Xiangjun was so angry that his face turned red, Mrs. Xiao opened her mouth, "I don't like to hear what Mrs. Xing said. Our girl, who doesn't praise her for being smart and capable, and with good moral character, can't be picked by others. The twisted melon is not sweet after all, and today's bento lady comes to visit the door, and the rest is enough! Mrs. Yue, I'll go and ask for guilt in a moment! ”
