readx;? Nangong Yunmeng was taken aback when she heard this, lowered her head and thought for a while, and asked, "My second brother did it?"

Huang Xiaoqiang shook his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nangong Yunmeng smiled bitterly and said to himself, "Sure enough, it's him, and the second brother can be regarded as having a little conscience." ”

Nangong Yunmeng's reaction surprised Huang Xiaoqiang. Huang Xiaoqiang asked, "Yunmeng, he escaped yesterday, and it counts... I let it go. ”

Nangong Yunmeng smiled faintly and said, "Xiaoqiang, I don't blame you. Without Liu Sheng's orders, I believe you would not let him go. Liu Sheng is a hero, and he must have his reasons for doing so. Xiaoqiang, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, your hatred can be temporarily forbearing, although I am a woman, I can't completely lose to you. ”

Huang Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded.

Nangong Yunmeng continued, "Where is my father's grave? ”

On the same day, in order to take care of the face of the Nangong family, Liu Sheng's people quietly buried Nangong Xuan's body where he should have been buried. Another day later, Liu Sheng, in the name of the King of Chu, summoned people to pay tribute to Nangong Xuan, and naturally all the people from the four major families were also present, which was equivalent to making up a funeral for the real Nangong Xuan.

In addition to Nangong Yunmeng and Nangong Xuan's concubines, Liu Sheng cried the most sadly.

Liu Sheng cried, "Nangong senior, you are the core leader in the martial arts, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, rare in ancient and modern times." In the past 40 years, Jingzhou has had smooth weather and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, which is also all due to you. I, Liu Sheng, hate myself, hate myself for not daring to ask you for advice with my true self when you were alive. Now that you have gone west, this matter will inevitably become the regret of my life, and I only hope that I will have the opportunity to ask you again in the next life. ”

Ximen Qing also knelt on the side and asked, "The deceased is gone, please mourn the lord." Now there is something more important I want to ask the lord, that is, who should lead Jingzhou. ”

Liu Sheng slowly stood up and asked, "Ah Qing, what do you mean by this?"

Ximen Qing returned, "Lord Qiqi, after two great turmoil, now the whole Jingzhou has changed, if one person can win the will of the people, and obey the destiny of heaven to assume the lord of Jingzhou, I think the future of Jingzhou is also very good." ”

At this time, some of Liu Sheng's generals said, "That's right, we all hope that the lord will be able to follow the will of the people and rule Jingzhou for the sake of the overall situation." Immediately, many generals also persuaded in the same way.

Ximen Qing continued, "If the lord is willing to rule Jingzhou, it will naturally be great, and my Ximen family will definitely support it fully." ”

Some of the people in the other three major families agreed in their hearts, some felt indifferent, and some just looked coldly at Liu Sheng and the others singing like a double reed, and naturally the "elders" who went to meet Nangong Yunmeng the day before were all against it.

When everyone thought that Liu Sheng would conform to the will of the people and become the lord of Jingzhou, Liu Sheng suddenly became angry, "Presumptuous! God is unfair, the master of Nangong Gate died of illness, and everything after that changed too quickly, I waited until today to come to pay tribute, and I am already sorry for his old man." Now that Liu Chen has just left, you have persuaded me one by one to be the lord of Jingzhou and lead the nine counties of Jingzhou, isn't this forcing me to be Liu Chen's second? Isn't this trying to trap me in disloyalty and injustice?"

Seeing Liu Sheng so angry, one by one the generals didn't dare to say more. That Xu Zhong was not afraid, and continued to persuade him, "My lord, now there is a big chaos today, and the gang is often lost, and your majesty is mediocre today, reusing the traitor Ling Jing, opening canals, building palaces, and increasing forced labor, Jingzhou alone has been requisitioned and transferred 300,000 strong men this year. Although Jingzhou is prosperous, it can't afford such a waste. Such an emperor is no longer popular in the world, if the lord is still living in the law of etiquette at this moment, the entire Jingzhou has no owner, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. Moreover, the lord is the king of Chu, and Jingzhou is your fief, why can't the lord enter the Jingzhou assassin history?"

Liu Sheng pointed at Xu Zhong and was furious, "Shut up, you Xu Zhong is a big rebel." Come on, pull it down for me, the big 20 boards. Suddenly, Liu Sheng only felt a flower in front of him, and he couldn't stand still, so Ximenqing and others immediately went up to help each other. Liu Sheng said, "I'm all stunned by you, and I'll discuss the matter of Jingzhou later." All kinds of major events under the account will be managed by the military advisor Ximen Qing for the time being, and there is no need to report it. ”

Ximen Qing bowed and thanked him, "Ximen Qing received the order." After that, Liu Sheng was helped away by the generals, and the memorial ceremony continued.

"Ah Qing, why does the King of Chu refuse to be the lord of Jingzhou, isn't he a man with great ambitions?"

"Cockroach, do you think the lord doesn't want to be? It's just that now people's hearts are not together, and they can't talk about unity, so the lord has to refuse. ”

"Are you talking about the Nangong family? Yun Meng said that she is willing to surrender. ”

"She is willing, but there are still many people in the Nangong family who are unwilling, although Nangong Yunmeng is the master of the door, but she does not have enough prestige at this time, and many things are not up to her alone. ”

A few days after the memorial ceremony, Nangong Yunmeng asked Huang Xiaoqiang to accompany him back to the mansion, and then summoned all the elders to discuss whether to surrender.

Nangong Bu, the leader of the Nangong family, persuaded, "Yunmeng, although you are now the master of the door, but in general, you are also my little niece, my uncle eats more salt than you eat, so he naturally sees things farther and thinks about things more broadly." Although the Nangong family has been in chaos twice, the entire Jingzhou system is not in chaos, it can be said that the Nangong family is still the first in Jingzhou, and it has the power to fight with Liu Shengxiaoer. ”

Huang Xiaoqiang was immediately unhappy after hearing this, and said coldly, "Mr. Nangong, be careful when you speak." ”

Nangong Bu watched Huang Xiaoqiang prepare to draw his sword, and suddenly panicked, but thinking that there were so many people here, Huang Xiaoqiang would not make a move, so he relaxed a little. continued, "Moreover, the Nangong family has been in charge of Jingzhou for more than 200 years, and the people of the imperial court have to give three points of face when they meet the people of the Nangong family. The three of them served Liu Shengxiao'er and quietly glanced at Huang Xiaoqiang. What can we be? At most, the Nangong family will get a county guard, and we will be a county order or something, and it depends on their face to do things, and he will definitely make a lot less money by darts in the day. ”

Nangong Yunmeng replied coldly, "Uncle, presumably this last point is what you care about the most." ”

Nangong Bu's old face turned red and replied, "Eh, good niece, I said this for the sake of our Nangong family." ”

Guo Kaishan, who rescued Huang Xiaoqiang with the boss that day, laughed, and suddenly snorted, "You guys, all of them are sanctimonious, but your stomach is full of bad water." Don't think I don't know what you think, when Liu Chen and Nangong Xun were in power, you took the opportunity to make profits one by one, causing the reputation of the Nangong family to be greatly damaged, and now you are embarrassed to say that for the sake of the Nangong family, you want to be ashamed. ”

Nangong Bu snorted, "Guo Kaishan, you are just a dart master, and you don't have the right to speak here." Besides, when King Qi and his nephew were there, we were at ease one by one, so why bother... ”

Before Nangong Bu finished speaking, he only heard the sound of the sword blade coming out of its sheath, and saw another figure flying by. Everyone looked at it, and Nangong Yunmeng appeared not far from Nangong Bu, the sword in his hand dripping with blood.

"You, you, you!" Nangong Bu covered his neck, his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally fell directly to the ground.

Nangong Yunmeng turned his head and glared at Nangong Bu, who was dead on the ground, and scolded, "Shameless old thief, you still have the face to bark here." Guo Darttou, bother you, arrest all Nangong Bu's people, what to do, you should know in your heart. ”

Guo Kaishan immediately received the order, Nangong Bu and others relied on their surname Nangong, and they were extremely arrogant, and the dart master under his hand couldn't stand it for a long time. Now that the door owner has spoken, they are naturally extremely happy, and some so-called "elders" have been arrested one after another.

Nangong Yunmeng glanced at Huang Xiaoqiang and ordered, "Guo Darttou, remember, deal with it as appropriate." ”

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

After this incident, Nangong Yunmeng's status in the Nangong family was officially determined, Nangong Yunmeng surrendered, and the rest naturally followed. Ximen Qing is a loyal supporter of Liu Sheng, so he naturally also serves Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng took the Dongfang Family's Dongfang No Tears, and the Dongfang Family also followed. As for the Beiming family, they naturally followed the trend and returned to Liu Sheng. With the submission of the four major families, Liu Sheng naturally couldn't shirk the position of the lord of Jingzhou. Since then, the first step of the big plan of "Longzhong Pair" has been achieved. To be continued.
