"You're threatening us?" Li Mo said coldly.

Xiang Bo chuckled, with a touch of coldness in his eyes, and said lightly: "Both of them are Great Qin's courtiers, and my Xiang clan is a criminal of the Qin court, how dare my Xiang clan threaten the officials of Great Qin?" ”

"This is to give my Xiang family a few guts, and my Xiang family will definitely not dare to have such thoughts."

"It's just"

"My Xiang clan also has some friendship with the two of them, so I made some kind reminders on my own initiative, after all, this time my old Chu nobles suffered heavy losses, and many people have resentment towards the two of them in their hearts, and the two of them actually know in their hearts that even if Qin Ting's hands and eyes reach the sky, can they really find out the details so quickly?"

"In particular, many Qin troops also went straight to my Xiang clan's hiding place."

"In order to arrest my Xiang clan, he did not hesitate to dig the ground and cut off the wall, how can this not make people angry? My Xiang clan was lucky this time and survived, if I hadn't fled in time, I am afraid that I would have followed in the footsteps of other nobles, how could I stand in front of the two of them now? ”

"You two said yes, right?"

Yin Tong's eyelids jumped.

He stared at Uncle Xiang coldly, as if he wanted to see some clues from Uncle Xiang's face, but Uncle Xiang seemed to have guessed Yin Tong's thoughts a long time ago, and there was no abnormality on his face, and he was calm and a little scary.

Side.

Li Mo snorted coldly: "If you want to add to the crime, why bother? ”

"Is it true that you nobles of the Six Kingdoms have lost this time? There are no dead people in our government? If nothing happened to the government, how could you appear in front of us so easily? And you also know that the court is going to attack you because of that rumor. ”

"What does this have to do with us?"

"We're also implicated in it."

Xiang Bo nodded.

He seems to agree with this statement.

Xiang Bo said with a smile: "Because of this, my Xiang family has never suspected the two chief officials before, and they all agree that this time is a disaster, and even if someone leaks secrets, most of them are leaked by those arrested officials, and they have never suspected the two chief officials, but after all, this is only the opinion of my Xiang family, and it cannot change the views of other nobles." ”

"It's just that the two of you are in such a hurry to refute it, but it makes me have some doubts."

"Could it really be that the two chiefs leaked it?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiang Bo's mouth.

"You" Li Mo glared angrily, but he was slightly lacking in energy.

So far.

Yin Tong and Li Mo didn't understand anything.

The Xiang clan had never believed the so-called rumors at all, and had been teasing them from beginning to end, and was also threatening them with this, but Yin Tong gradually came back to his senses at this time.

If the Xiang clan really wanted to trouble them, they wouldn't talk so much.

Maybe you really want to ask for yourself?

But even so, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

He has been in Huiji County for so long, but he knows Xiang's methods very well.

"What do you want to do?" Yin channel.

Xiang Bo bowed respectfully, with a cold smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The two elders don't need to be so nervous, my Xiang clan has not been affected too much this time, and I will not be angry with the two heads, and my Xiang Bo came to find the two chiefs today, and I really have something important to discuss." ”

"I, Xiang, can help you solve these hidden dangers."

"How to fix it?" Yin Tong's eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't figure out Xiang's thoughts.

Xiang Bo said with a smile: "Subdue these nobles who have bad intentions towards the county guards, at least they won't really come to trouble the two of them, but the two of them also know that my Xiang clan is like a rat crossing the street at the moment, with a bad reputation, and it is even wanted by the Qin court, so when doing some things, there will be a lot of inconvenience, and these nobles also have a lot of influence in the local area, if my Xiang clan makes a move, it will inevitably attract a lot of criticism." ”

"So it's going to take the help of both of you."

Yin Tong was silent.

He looked at Uncle Xiang deeply.

He vaguely guessed Xiang's thoughts.

The Xiang family obviously saw that the other nobles were weak, and had bad intentions towards the other nobles, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to annex the other nobles.

Xiang's vicious heart!

There is no sympathy at all.

And he thought that Xiang was very kind before, and even took the initiative to have a deep friendship with him, if it weren't for this incident, he suddenly came to his senses and saw through Xiang's face, but he was afraid that he would betray Xiang in the future, and he still didn't know what was going on.

It's just that

He was indeed a little moved.

Now the interior of Huiji County is very empty.

There are many vacancies for officials.

This will definitely lead to a lot of opportunities for the nobles to take advantage of, if there is the help of the Xiang family, their safety will undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed, but at the same time, it will definitely make the Xiang family bigger.

It's a double-edged sword.

If you can't control it a little, you may backfire on yourself.

He had to be cautious.

Li Mo's eyes also kept changing.

Long.

Li Mo opened his mouth and said, "What do you want to do to other nobles?" ”

Xiang Bo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that they don't want to trouble the government as much as possible, but after all, they have a grudge against the imperial court, so it will definitely cause a lot of conflicts on the way, and it will also cause a lot of trouble, and even in order to calm down the incident, my Xiang clan may also do some radical things, and this requires the two elders to cover it up for us." ”

"And this is my Xiang family's deal with the two of you."

"You help my Xiang clan cover up, and my Xiang clan protects your safety in the county."

Hear the words.

Yin Tong and Li Mo were silent.

It was only after weighing it for a while that the two finally compromised.

None of them.

The Xiang clan did suffer very little damage this time, and there were not too many entanglements between them, but the Xiang clan became bigger, which is not necessarily a good thing for the future governance of Huiji County, but this time they can be said to shine in front of the imperial court, if there are not too many incidents in Huiji County in the future, they actually have a good chance to go further, how will Huiji County be at that time, and what does it have to do with them?

Furthermore.

They had already understood.

Xiang Bo must achieve his goal this time.

His implication was that if they didn't comply, the Xiang family would join the nobles who targeted the two, and the Xiang family would not have much loss, if the Xiang family made a move, they would be more than lucky.

And this time Xiang gave them enough decency.

It also made them feel a little relieved.

At least for a short time, I didn't see that Xiang would cross the river and tear down the bridge.

And they do need to fight for a period of time, and when they make up for the lack of officials in Jiangji County, then their control over Huiji County will undoubtedly reach a higher level, and they will be able to deal with various situations calmly.

For now, we still have to bow our heads.

Yin Tong and Li Mo glanced at each other, and they both understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.

Yin Tong nodded and said, "We can help your Xiang family, but if the Xiang family is too presumptuous, don't blame us for being ruthless." ”

Xiang Bo said with a smile: "Although the two elders can rest assured, my Xiang clan still knows the proportions, and I will not make it difficult for the two chiefs, and my Xiang clan is doing this for the sake of the stability of Huiji County, how can it really become the target of public criticism?" ”

Yin Tong and Li Mo glanced at each other, and nodded secretly.

Having Xiang help deal with some things can indeed relieve them a lot of pressure, and they won't be worried all the time.

Xiang Bo raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Since the two chiefs agree, then drink this wine together, congratulations to us and others for the pleasure of cooperation, haha." ”

Yin Tong and Li Mo also drank wine.

After drinking this glass of wine, Yin Tong and Li Mo didn't want to stay longer, and said that there were still political affairs on their bodies, so they got up and left directly, and Xiang Bo didn't stop them, let the two leave, and after the two of them walked away, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

Judging from the reactions of Yin Tong and Li Mo, the reason why Qin Ting was able to find out their whereabouts so quickly was most likely leaked by county officials.

But Uncle Xiang didn't care too much.

Because he Xiang now has more important things to do.

Not for a while.

The room fell silent.

The house was empty.

In the county government of Huiji County, Yin Tong and Li Mo sat opposite each other, their expressions were a little serious, Yin Tong sighed lightly: "This time we agreed to Xiang's move, but I am afraid that Huiji County will not be able to calm down in the short term." ”

Li Mo looked helpless and said in a deep voice: "This is also a matter of no choice. ”

"This time the imperial court acted so quickly, and still let the Xiang family escape, and the basically undamaged Xiang family, the influence in Jiangdong is still too great, even if the county officials have cleaned up a lot for the imperial court, but secretly there are still many officials who have contact with the Xiang family, we don't agree this time, the Xiang family may really attack us."

"After all."

"They are criminals of the imperial court, and they have no scruples."

Yin Tong let out a long sigh.

How could he not know? How else would they agree?

It's just that once this is agreed, they will have contact with the Xiang family again, and if they are found out by the imperial court in the future, they may no longer be able to 'justify', and they don't know whether this is good or bad for them.

Li Mo also knows this.

During this period of time, the two were actually quite glad that they had made the decision they had made.

Because judging from the current situation, the imperial court is obviously prepared, and it is a court that has made detailed targets and has a clear goal, and the power that erupts is not something they can compete with at all, and it is undoubtedly the right move to abandon the nobles of the six countries.

In particular, Fusu promulgated the order to seek merit.

It made them smell an unusual smell.

Li Mo said in a deep voice: "Now that we have agreed, then there is no need to care, and the Xiang family should not do too much, after all, he is from the same background as other nobles, so he will not really hurt the killer, but we did underestimate the Xiang family's wrist in the past, and it is extremely ruthless to dare to do such a thing at this time." ”

Yin Tong sneered and said noncommittally: "That's why he desperately wants to ask for our help." ”

"If we don't help us, in the face of other nobles' difficulties, even if the Xiang family has a big business, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand it."

on this.

Yin Tong knows it.

Li Mo nodded.

The two exchanged opinions and left.

No matter what, with Xiang's promise, their next situation will undoubtedly be much better, after all, the Xiang family has been operating in Huiji County for many years, and their roots in Jiangdong are very deep, and they are safe and worry-free with Xiang's secret move.

But whether it is Yin Tong or Li Mo, how dare he really put his life on Xiang's body?

Their top priority now is to fill in the vacant officials in Huiji County, and then install more of their own manpower, so as to ensure their safety to the greatest extent.

The other side.

Xiang Bo has returned to the clan.

also told Xiang Liang all the information about Yin Tong and Li Mo.

Xiang Bo said: "Judging from the uneasy behavior of these two people, Qin Ting's ability to know our whereabouts is mostly related to their secret leakage, but they probably didn't expect that our Xiang clan would go back so quickly, and they haven't suffered too many losses, but these two people have become wary of our Xiang clan, and I want them to obediently obey my Xiang clan's orders in the future, but I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult." ”

Xiang Bo's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.

Xiang Liang bowed his head and snorted coldly: "I have already guessed this." ”

"If there is no local official to report the news, even if Qin Ting's hands and eyes are all over the sky, how can he find out our whereabouts so quickly? Still attacking so quickly? Now that the nobles of Jiangdong have suffered heavy losses, we are destined to bear a lot of infamy if we make a move in this matter, but for the restoration of Great Chu and in order to better gather strength, my Xiang clan must do this. ”

"The forces of my Chu State have been scattered for too long."

"If we continue to be like this time, we will definitely be broken by the Qin court in each way, and it is even likely to be constantly eroded, the Qin court is constantly attacking at the moment, if we can't integrate our forces as soon as possible, we will only become more and more powerless, this time it is the local officials who betray us, and the other old Chu nobles will also defect next time."

"Their will has never been strong."

For other old Chu nobles, Xiang Liang has always had a complaint.

These people are more for their own interests than Fu Chu, in the past, the Xiang family was not less constrained, otherwise how could he Xiang family, ten years can only afford to pull a few thousand people?

And now Qin Ting's sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.

You have to strengthen yourself as soon as possible in order to be more comfortable in the future.

Xiang Bo nodded and said: "It's just that I'm worried that Yin Tong and others will still calculate us in the future, and there will be no other nobles in front of us at that time, and our Xiang clan is only afraid that the situation will not be too good." ”

Xiang Liang was silent.

He said in a deep voice: "This is nothing, as long as my Xiang clan is strong enough, Yin Tong and the others will not dare to hit my Xiang clan's idea, if they really dare to hit my Xiang clan's head, how can we make them feel better?" ”

Xiang Liang's eyes showed a cold color.

In fact, he has long known that the Xiang clan is drifting away from Yin Tong and other officials, but now they still need these officials, and when the world is turbulent in the future, when he Xiang can't use these people, he will get rid of these people.

He Xiang hates half-hearted people the most.

Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo didn't say much about it, their purpose this time has been achieved, with Yin Tong and Li Mo secretly helping each other, his Xiang clan will be much easier to do next, especially many old Chu nobles, who have not yet returned to Jiangdong, which gives the Xiang clan a lot of opportunities, so as soon as Xiang Bo returned, he was immediately arranged by Xiang Liang again to contact other nobles.

Time.

The undercurrent is surging behind the back of the river.

Unlike the undercurrent surging in Jiangdong, Xianyang is very lively at the moment.

Outside the city of Xianyang, a dark-skinned man, wearing a hat and carrying a bag, appeared in front of the city gate with a sigh of emotion, looking at the 'Xianyang' hanging on the city wall, this person's eyes were slightly condensed, and then he entered the city without looking back.

Then it disappeared into the crowd.

The head is dizzy
