Humanity is a nuisance, verse 174

Sima Xingnan didn't say anything with a cold face, and only sighed when he left, the Huan family is like this, no wonder she has to rely on the idea of the clan.

After Wei Ji came back, she rested at home for a few days, and it took more than half a year from the time she crossed the Han River in spring to the time when she returned from the army. She recalled the experience of accompanying the army, like a hurried and panicked dream, marching in a hurry all day, even occasionally entering the city, and her heart was not steady. Originally, she felt that life in the army was hard, and she gritted her teeth several times to support her, not without regrets, but seeing the cruel fighting on the battlefield and the displaced people she met on the way, Wei Jiao's mood was different, so she knew how difficult it was to be lenient and sympathetic to the people mentioned in the book.

Jiang Yu hurriedly ran in from outside, his face a little strange.

Wei asked him what was the matter. These days, Huan Qi lives in the Thorn History Mansion, and Jiang Yu tells Wei Ji about the outside things every day, which ones are good friends with Nankang's mother and son, and which ones only listen to Huan Wen's words, and the head of his analysis is the Tao.

"Xiao Langjun, there is a woman outside looking for you," Jiang Yu said, "I heard that it is the concubine of the prince, tsk...... Born with a good look. ”

Wei Ji knew that he was talking about Yiying, and said strangely: "It's so decent, what did she come to me for?"

"I heard that she was driven out by Princess Xin'an," mentioning these gossip, Jiang Zhen came to the spirit, "She gave birth to a son, the prince is very preferred, and she takes it with her all day long, Princess Xin'an has long been dissatisfied, I heard that there was another commotion this morning, and the prince did not dare to offend the princess recently, and this woman was pinched by the princess and was kicked out." ”

Wei Ji knew that Huanxi's backyard was not peaceful, and shook her head gently.

Jiang Yu said: "That woman may have nowhere to go, I heard that I had some friendship with Xiao Langjun before, so I came to the door." Just now, she shouted in front of the door, asking Xiao Langjun to save her life. ”

Wei Jiao's eyes were thoughtful, "This moment, such a coincidence"

Jiang Yu was the most clever, and said with a smile: "Not really." ”

Wei Ji asked: "She is the only one who has no one with her."

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "See, there is actually a way to see it clearly, Xiao Langjun wait a minute." ”

As he spoke, he ran out, when Huan Qi chose this house, there are two-story watchtowers in front and back, and you can see the street situation in front and back. Jiang Yu called someone to see it, and ran back to tell Wei Ji, "There are more than 50 people hiding at the corner of the street, staring at our house." ”

Wei Ji asked how many guards there were in the house, Jiang Zhen patted his chest and said: "Xiao Langjun rest assured, there are more than 100 guards in the house, all of them are elite soldiers left by the general, if there is no support, light a fire in the watchtower, and the general will know immediately." ”

Wei Ji bowed slightly, his heart was greatly settled, and when he returned to Jingzhou that day and walked separately, Huan Qi said outside the ox cart, "It may have been a little uneven recently, and you can make up your mind when I am not there." ”

Wei Ji asked, "What if I want to do something wrong?"

Huan Qi smiled: "Even if you break the sky, I will make it up for you, don't worry." ”

Wei Ji knew what he was talking about, the eldest princess of Nankang and the prince would not just watch the family power fall.

Right now, Yi Ying is calling the door outside, is it already coming for her Wei Ji thought about it and felt that this method was really a little unsightly.

Jiang Yu and Wei Ji have been getting along for a long time, and his ability to observe words and emotions has gradually improved, and said: "I guess this is probably the method of that prince, I have long heard that he has no brains, maybe he wants people to come in and kidnap Xiao Langjun to threaten the general, and there are few people who know Xiao Langjun in Jingzhou City, this Yiying can be regarded as having some friendship in the past, which is why he sold such a bitter trick in this concubine room."

Jiang Yu chatted and guessed casually, and he really guessed seven or eight points accurately.

Today's farce was set up by Huan Xi to arrest Wei Ji out of the mansion, and he saw that Wei Ji was only about 30 guards around him that day, thinking that as long as he deceived and opened the door, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people to capture Wei Ji with a high probability. Wei Ji has come to Jingzhou since she came, and she has few contacts, and few people have made friends with her. Yi Ying once said in front of him that he had an old relationship with Wei Ji. Huan Xi thought about it and decided to let Yiying deceive the door.

Yi Ying's eyes widened when he heard this, and his willow eyebrows rose and he cried.

Huan Xi accepted her into the house, she is really the pet of the special room, and she is also distressed at the moment, so she patiently explained to her, "This is related to my future future, you can make a great contribution to me, what do you want in the future?"

Yiying was coquettish and foolish for a while, and seeing that he didn't let go, he also knew that this matter was important, so he sobbed and collected his tears, and said: "It's all for Lang Jun, and the concubine gave up her life this time." However, Huan Qi is ruthless, and it is useful to catch Wei Jialangjun."

Huan Xi whispered beside her. Yiying took a bite of him, and secretly surprised, it turned out that Huan Qi actually fell in love with Wei Jialangjun, no wonder he didn't agree when she took the initiative to dedicate herself that day, phew, blind him.

Yi Ying brushed her sideburns, now that she is the son of the world, her sons have been born, she should think more about herself and her son, a man's love may not be reliable in the future, today this matter is done, it is a credit, the Huan family is already the head of the gate, rich for at least a few decades, and her son may not have a chance in the future.

Yi Ying communicated with these, so he agreed to come down, changed into a simple dress early in the morning, and went to Wei Jiao. She still remembered that Wei Jialangjun was a kind-hearted person, and he had rescued her when he was in the post house, and it should be easy to deceive her.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 280: Two Seventy-Nine Palms Ruthless

Before Yiying left the Assassin's Mansion, she also made a fake play, Huan Xi scolded her in the courtyard for disrespecting the princess, kicked her out, and ordered the servants and maids not to help.

This movement was not small, and it reached Huan Qi's ears, He sneered, called He Hanzhi over, and said, "Early in the morning, ask the two to follow to see what the situation is." ”

He Hanzhi took the order, and he came back after a cup of tea, saying that Yiying was followed by dozens of people. Huan Qi's face was expressionless, Huan Xi only had these people in his hands now, and the soldiers in his house were enough to deal with it. Besides, Wei Ji is smart and clever, and she will not be deceived by such crude methods.

Huan Qi wiped the blade with a towel, and his face flashed with disdain, the old woman Nankang was vicious and decisive, and the last sneak attack on him in Beizhuang could be called a thunderous method, At this point, Huan Xi is a master with low eyes, and the means of small fights are far behind.

He was thinking that a guard outside the door came to report, saying that there was a visitor from Jiangzhou who asked to see him. Jiangzhou came either Huan Chong or Yu Zhang's three surnames. Huan Qi called someone in.

The person who came into the door knelt in front of the hall and said, "Qilangjun saw An, my Langjun met Jiankang envoy outside the city, there were some verbal conflicts, and now the person is being escorted, and I also ask Qilangjun to come forward and turn around." ”

Huan Qi recognized this person, it was Luo Hong's close follower, and he asked: "How do you know that it is Jiankang who is coming?"

Nearby, he said: "It's my family Langjun who saw it, when Langjun first made trouble, he asked me to go first, and come to the city to tell Qilangjun." ”

Huan Qi got up and asked He Hanzhi to prepare the horse. Luo Hong is from the Jiangyou Wang family, acting flamboyantly, and when he was young and studying in Wu County, he didn't get into trouble a little, and it is not uncommon for him to have some quarrels with life when he walks outside. Huan Qi went in and changed his clothes, and his heart said that Jiankang was about to arrive in Jingzhou, but there was no news coming, his face was slightly gloomy, and he came out and ordered his own soldiers, and asked his entourage to lead the way and go out of the city.

Not long after Huan Qi left, Huan Xi received the news, frowned and said: "Where is he going at this time" He walked around anxiously twice, and urged the guards next to him: "It's been a long time, and a weak Langjun hasn't stopped it, so go and ask about the situation." ”

The guards saluted and were about to go out, when Sima Xingnan came in from outside with the support of the maidservant.

"Mother, why are you here all of a sudden" Huan Xi hurriedly got up.

Sima Xingnan said: "I heard what you just said, so you don't need to ask." ”

"Why is this" Huan Xi said: "I sent the government soldiers over, it's almost two hours, and people should be arrested." ”

Sima Xingnan turned his face to look at him.

Huan Xi was slightly startled, and most of his anxiety disappeared.

Sima Xingnan said: "How many people have you called, it's been so long, I don't know what's going on"

Huan Xi's face changed slightly, "Could it be that he is prepared, it's too bad, where is Yiying now?"

Sima Xingnan's face was flat, and he said coldly: "At this time, I only think of a woman."

"Yiying is my concubine, and today is for me to take risks, how can I ignore her safety"

Sima Xingnan's face was almost full of anger, but then she let out a long breath and said: "Now is the time when you and I are at stake, where can you take care of a woman, if you misunderstand the right thing for her, I will have someone kill her and end this scourge." ”

When Huan Xi heard this, he knew that his mother would never talk empty words, so he had to hide his anxious heart, and thought about it: "Huan Qi is prepared, does he want to do it?"

Sima Xingnan shook his head and shouted outside the house, and immediately a guard came over, and she said: "Look at the prince, no matter what happens in the house and outside the house today, don't let him go out." ”

Saying that, she stood up and was about to leave, Huan Xi raised her eyes and saw a team of guards guarding outside, she was surprised, and strode forward to ask for clarification, but was stopped by the guards. He was about to scold, Sima Xingnan had already walked out of the door, turned around and said: "I have taught you since you were a child, you need to calm down when you are a big event, forget all about the light and don't leave here for a single step, and you will see it after today." ”

When Huan Xi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he thought of something and broke out in a cold sweat.

Sima Xingnan went to the main courtyard where Huan Wen lived, and the servant in front of the door wanted to report, but she stopped him with a stern gaze. Sima Xingnan stood outside the window, and saw that the Li family inside was holding a decoction to feed Huan Wen, and whispered something, Huan Wen bowed his head and looked gentle.

She glanced at it, sighed, and waited for the maid to open the door, and then walked in.

Concubine Li stood up and saluted, and Sima Xingnan said: "Da Sima is still the most intimate and sensible by your side." ”

Huan Wen waved his hand, and Li retreated. Sima Xing's male screen retired from the maidservant, and for a while, there were only two husbands and wives left in the house.

Sima Xingnan sat down in front of the bed, and said in a flat tone: "The imperial doctors all said that your life is hard, and ordinary people may not be able to stand such injuries for a long time." ”

Huan Wen sat up straighter, wrinkling his brows and looking at her, she has been married for decades, and I don't know if she was emotional or sorry for the sentence just now.

Sima Xingnan softened a little and said: "Bodao is your eldest son, he grew up under your nose, and you taught him to read and write at the beginning, but now why is it that he is not in your eyes everywhere, and he is put in such an embarrassing situation." ”

Huan Wen's face was expressionless, "I have already made up my mind, and I will never change it, now I will talk about this, how do you go?"

Sima Xingnan looked at him, his expression was complicated, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Although Bodao is a little mediocre, but he has benevolence and filial piety, but that wild seed, it has only been a long time since he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and he is ruthless and domineering.

Huan Wen didn't say this.

"You, you, you are so ruthless, what a down-and-out appearance of the Huan family back then, if it weren't for the support of the clan, you can have today's prosperity, you don't miss the old grace at all, Bodao is not unable to keep the family business, you insist on choosing that wild seed, you have long been not satisfied with the head of the four valves."

Huan Wen raised his eyebrows and glared, "Be cautious." ”

Sima Xingnan laughed, "The wolf's ambition, if everyone else is blind, I can't see it"

Huan Wen suddenly said, "How the Sima clan won the world is just a teacher who does not forget the past and the future." ”

Sima Xingnan's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said angrily: "Phew, don't think about it." ”

Huan Wen's face was cold, and there was a little pity in his eyes when he looked at her, "If you stop at this time, there is still room for redemption." ”

Sima Xingnan was slightly startled, and then reacted again, "It's late, to tell you the truth, Jiankang's envoy has already arrived in Jingzhou, and all the news of coming to the house in the past few days has been stopped by me, but it's a pity that you are a wise man, when you are old, lying on the bed and no one reports, what is the difference between the deaf and the blind." ”

Saying that, she stood up, "Bodao inherited the Huan family, and with the support of the clan, it may not be inferior to you." ”

Sima Xingnan originally thought that Huan Wen would be flustered after the provocation, but his face was only slightly blue, and he was still unhappy. Her heart suddenly clenched, and it was very uncomfortable to go up or down, "There is also a set for that wild seed outside the city, so you don't have to worry"

Huan Wen said: "If Jingdao can't settle these things, and he is not worthy of taking over the family business, is it possible to compete with other clans, someone can make him fail, the world is difficult and dangerous, the survival of the fittest, it's a pity that you can manage so much, can you still manage Bodao for a lifetime?"

Sima Xingnan was silent for a moment and said, "In terms of ruthlessness, I'm really inferior to you." ”

She walked outside, her throat was dry, and she had planned to be angry, but she didn't want to say anything, which made her feel uneasy. Sima Xingnan immediately called someone to invite Jiankang to come. A moment later, one of the two guards came that day, and she asked why. The guard said: "Huan Qi is not so easy to deal with, of course the envoy has to arrange it personally, and the eldest princess will wait patiently for the news." ”

Sima Xingnan said: "You asked me to open the city gate and let people in, where did those people go?"

The guard smiled, but did not say anything, only said: "Your Majesty wants to find an old man, and it will be okay in the overall situation." ”

Huan Qi took the guards to the outside of the city, and went straight to the post house more than 20 miles away, on the way he asked the entourage to pass, and the entourage said it from beginning to end, it turned out that it was just to grab the road, Jiankang came to make the domineering act and blocked the road to prevent the Luo family from passing through the carriage and horses, so the quarrel started. Huan Qi listened, he felt that something was wrong before, but now he felt more and more intense.

"It was waiting for me here." When Huan Qile saw that the road ahead was narrowing and there was a valley pass between the mountain roads, he immediately stopped his horse and told the guards to go to the front to have a look.

As soon as the guards entered the valley, they immediately retreated, shouting "There is an ambush." ”

The arrows flew out from behind, and the guard followed Huan Qi several battles, extremely sophisticated, and rolled forward on the spot, avoiding the flying arrows, and said to Huan Qi: "I took a look just now, there are four or five hundred people hidden inside." ”

Huan Qi took less than two hundred personal soldiers, and frowned when he heard this.

The entourage was frightened, and at this time he understood that this was a trap, and stammered: "Villain, villain doesn't know...... My family Langjun is still in the post house......"

Huan Qi said: "Go to the back, and when you clean up these people, you will go to your family Langjun." ”

As soon as he gave an order, the soldiers had lined up in formation, and He Hanzhi led a team of people to release a few arrows towards the valley mouth in front of the military formation. Discerning the location, this group of people hid in the shadows and refused to come out. Huan Qi asked a few people to light torches to make smoke and make a gesture to set fire. The people on the other side of the valley were really fooled, and they couldn't wait any longer, so they rushed out with people.

Huan Qi led the troops to rush up, and as soon as the two sides met, although the other party had a large number of people, it was defeated with one blow, and was quickly defeated, and the remaining dozens of people saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and fled. Huan Qi ordered someone to capture the leader, but the man was so frightened that his face was like earth, but he clenched his teeth and refused to speak.

Huan Qi waved his hand, and the guard slapped it directly with the scabbard, causing the man to open his mouth and protrude four teeth and blood, he was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't do it, it's all Gao Ping Xi's instructions, and it's in front of you." ”

After he finished speaking, he buried his head, the pain was unbearable, and he had no place to shame.

The Xi family and the Wang family have in-laws and have close contacts. Huan Qi asked someone to tie him up and went straight to the post house.

Luo Hong was sitting in the inner hall of the post house, his face was gloomy, until he heard the movement outside, Huan Qi came with someone, and he stood up suddenly, "Jingdao, you can count it as coming, this group of people is unreasonable." Tell me about it. ”

Huan Qi had a sneer on his face and looked at Jiankang's envoy.
