Chapter 733: The Golden Mean

Everyone turned around in surprise, but saw that Duan Xiliu's left face was flushed, with five slender fingerprints clearly on it, and his eyes were cold staring at Lou Yutong, the little ghost among the three little demons.

Lou Yutong also blushed and had a thick neck, threw a handful of playing cards in front of him, and pointed at Duan Xiliu with his right hand and said, "You are targeting me, why are you always against me?"

Mei Yuqin and Gui Yulin looked at each other, Mei Yuqin said angrily: "Fourth sister, how can you be so rude?" Jiang Dongge pulled Duan Xiliu back behind him, and said coldly to Lou Yutong: "Why are you beating people again?"

Li Yueying immediately exploded, rushed over and pointed at Lou Yutong and said, "Where did my senior brother offend you? Why did you beat him? Immediately apologize to Senior Brother Duan." ”

She has a straight temper, but at this time, her face is also flushed with anger. Chai Xinyue and Sunan Xingju were a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect that they would make this a good play.

Gui Yulin has always been a good person, and when he heard this, he hurriedly persuaded the two: "Little sister is rude, Mrs. Li don't be angry." Everyone plays together, it is inevitable that there will be some awkwardness, this is my Xiaotong's fault, I apologize to you on her behalf. ”

After speaking, he first apologized to Duan Xiliu, and then bowed to Li Yueying to apologize. Li Yueying has always eaten soft rather than hard, seeing that Gui Yulin had a good attitude, she snorted and said, "Just say it." He turned his head to Lou Yutong and said: "My senior brother wants to bully because my senior sister and I can bully, do you dare to move his finger again, believe it or not, I chopped your hand?"

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded again, and Sunan Xing snorted lightly: "Nonsense." Li Yueying knew that she had said the wrong thing, glanced at Duan Xiliu with an embarrassed face, and then at Sunan Xing, shrugged her shoulders and said: "Let me tell you that Lou Yutong said that Feng Yuhan, the lay apprentice of Master Shaolin Xingde, has replied to my family Xiao Han, and people don't want to pay attention to you at all, and now they are engaged and married to the daughter of the prefect of Daizhou." ”

Sunan Xing said sharply: "Shut up." Chai Xinyue was also slightly dissatisfied and said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense." The faces of the three sisters of the Mei family changed greatly, Lou Yutong first looked at Li Yueying blankly, and asked with a blank face: "Really?"

Li Yueying didn't dare to speak anymore, but her eyes couldn't hide her smugness, and she snorted and retreated to Jiangdong Pavilion's side.

Gui Yulin hurriedly came over and pulled Lou Yutong and said, "Xiaotong, don't believe what she said." Mei Yuqin glanced at Li Yueying hatefully, turned her head and said heavily to the two junior sisters: "Let's go back." ”

Chai Xinyue was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said with a smile: "My sister doesn't choose what to say, don't worry about the three girls, and don't take Miss Lou seriously." ”

Lou Yutong still had a blank face, looked at the second sister Gui Yulin and asked, "Is what she said true?" Gui Yulin's heart was like a knife, he bit his lip and shook his head: "Jinyang is thousands of miles away from here, how can Xiao Han know about this, little sister don't believe it." ”

Mei Yuqin said angrily: "When have there been good people under the three sects, are we still humiliating ourselves here?"

The people of the Tianshan faction looked at each other, a cold light flashed in Sunan Xing's eyes, and he sighed secretly, his body shook slightly, but he did not step forward to stop him.

Li Yueying hated her very much since Lou Yutong ruthlessly dumped Duan Xiliu, and snorted softly when she heard this: "We are much stronger than those evil demons. ”

Mei Yuqin's eyes were blazing with cold light, and she stared at Li Yueying coldly and said, "Very good, very good, our evil demon outer way is really not worthy of being famous and decent." ”

Chai Xinyue was terrified, listening to her tone, she actually brought Luo Beihong and Tu Yuxuan, who had just gotten married, her face turned white with fright, she hurriedly glanced at Li Yueying, and took a step forward to stand in front of Mei Yuqin and bowed down to apologize: "Sister lost her words, I will make amends to you on her behalf." ”

Without waiting for Mei Yuqin to speak, Chai Xinyue said again: "Miss Tu can marry my Senior Brother Luo is really a match made in heaven, a perfect marriage, everyone is now a family, how can they turn against each other because of the trivial matter of playing cards, and spread it out, wouldn't it make the world a martial arts joke?"

Sunan Xing has never been good at dealing with such a scene, but she just looked at them with cold eyes. Jiang Dongge was also a little anxious, and took a step forward and said to Mei Yuqin: "Little junior sister has offended a lot, I will make amends." Then he bowed deeply to the three of them.

Gui Yulin hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Jiang Shaoxia can't be like this. The three of them once went to the Southern Han Dynasty to find someone together, and along the way, Jiangdong Pavilion took care of the two of them, although he didn't talk much, but he was very trusted by the two.

Mei Yuqin saw him come forward to make amends, and said with a slightly gentle face: "That's it, we are a little tired and want to go back to rest." Li Yueying finally came to her senses under the coercion of Sunan Xing's gaze and Chai Xinyue's eyes, and besides, she also liked Tu Yuxuan very much, but at this time, she also knew that she was a little too much just now, so she came over and said embarrassedly: "I was wrong just now, I apologize to the three of them." ”

Gui Yulin hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Madame is polite." Lou Yutong is still so stupid, which makes people look extremely distressed.

Duan Xiliu covered his face and stood behind all the time, and at this time he also came over to apologize: "It was my fault just now, please don't be angry with the three girls." ”

At this moment, the door of the chess and card room was kicked open with a "bang", and a delicate figure rushed in with a string of silver bell-like laughter and said, "Okay, you don't call me when you play here?"

Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu didn't know what was going on in the Houshan chess and card room, at this time, the two of them rearranged their clothes and came to the conference hall, and the disciple who guarded the door opened the door to send the two in, and then closed the door.

Xiao Han saw Ye Zixuan talking with two middle-aged people in the room, one was wearing a red brocade robe, and the other was wearing a light ink color tuan.

Seeing Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu coming in, the two of them got up at the same time and said with a smile: "Sect Chief Xiao has a big happy event, I will wait for the congratulations to come late, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Xiao Han glanced at Ye Zixuan, Ye Zixuan understood, and bowed down. Xiao Hanhao smiled heartily: "It turned out to be General Xue and General Wang, it was a blessing, a certain hurry came late, Wudang was not well entertained, but I want to invite the two of you." ”

The four of them were all old acquaintances, looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words, and sat down again. The people who came were Xue Dingfang, the son of the new commander of the Southern Tang Forbidden Army, Xue Jian, the old general, and Wang Yansheng, the regimental training envoy of Enzhou in the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Yansheng is the next member of the Zhao brothers of the Great Song Dynasty, when Xiao Han beat him in Tokyo, he pretended to be the master of Kaifeng Mansion to escort the battle, but because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents, Zhao Kuangyin liked to be demoted to the Enzhou regiment training envoy.

Xiao Han didn't expect that the two sides would send two people to come, it is said that now the north and south are preparing to fight in Huaibei, even if they send people to consult, they should also choose to send well-informed civil officials over, who knew that they would send such two evil gods over.

Xiao Han secretly speculated in his heart, and on the other hand, he casually greeted the two. After talking nonsense after a cup of tea, Murong Qiuyu got up to help the two of them pour tea, and the second general knew that she was Mrs. Wudang, especially Xue Dingfang knew that Murong Qiuyu was also the princess of Yi'an who was sealed in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he naturally thanked him repeatedly.

Xiao Han looked at Wang Yansheng and said, "General Wang came this time, I'm afraid it's not just to congratulate me on the happy event of Wudang, right?" Wang Yansheng didn't expect him to ask so bluntly, glanced at Xue Dingfang on the other side and said embarrassedly: "This, this ......"

Xiao Han smiled and said to Xue Dingfang: "What is the matter with General Xue coming?" Xue Dingfang was not as unhappy as Wang Yansheng, and when he heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Back to the horse master, the emperor asked me to come and ask you to go back and help recapture the Huaibei land lost by the emperor." ”

Wang Yansheng stood up and said: "Huaibei was captured by Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now that the dynasty has changed, after the Chan Dynasty, my emperor should be the former land, how can I be afraid of your words and intimidation? If you want to fight, I will fight with millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, how can I be afraid that you will not succeed?"

Xue Dingfang was furious and said: "I have two million soldiers in the Tang Dynasty and three thousand generals, and this battle will definitely recapture Huaibei and take the Zhao brothers back to Jinling to punish the crime." ”

Wang Yansheng said angrily: "The erector is rude, come on, come on, you and I will fight first." Xiao Han saw that the two of them were about to fight if they didn't say a word, but there was not much change on his face, he sat still and waved his hand at the two and said: "If the two want to fight, I have a martial arts hall in Wudang, and all the weapons are available." ”

The two of them looked stunned, and Xiao Han said again: "If the two of you are here to find a solution to the problem, why don't you sit down patiently and listen to me?"

The two looked at each other hatefully and sat down again, Xiao Han sighed and said: "It's just that even if I have all kinds of wisdom today, it is useless for the two of you, after all, it is the emperor who decides on both sides." ”

Xue Dingfang immediately understood: "The emperor said that as long as it is the decision made by the master of the horse, he will abide by it." Wang Yansheng followed: "The emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Jin have always trusted the head of Xiao, and now Princess Chai has also become Mrs. Wudang, the emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are quite happy in their hearts, and they say that as long as the head of Xiao agrees, my Great Song can also add Princess Xinyue and the horse." ”

Xiao Han laughed dryly and said: "After all, Senior Sister Chai is the princess of the previous dynasty, and it is not in accordance with the ceremony to add a seal, so forget about this matter." Then he said a little carelessly: "It seems that Princess Xinyue's younger brother has been placed in Fangzhou, where the damp atmosphere is not conducive to the northerners' residence, and it is easy to get sick after a long time." ”

Wang Yansheng's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood the dissatisfaction in Xiao Han's words, gritted his teeth and said: "After I go back, I will tell Master Xiao that the emperor will definitely choose a suitable place to settle down." ”

A smile appeared on Xiao Han's face and said, "In addition to 'benevolence' at the core of Confucius's thought, there is also an idea that runs throughout, what do the two generals know?"

Although Xue Dingfang is a military general, he has a good family education since he was a child, and he has read a lot, so he hesitated when he heard this: "What the master said is the golden mean?"

Wang Yansheng said coldly: "I'm a big boss, wouldn't it be difficult for me for Master Xiao to speak like this?" Xiao Han waved his hand and said: "That's not what I mean, I mean that the north and the south are evenly matched, and they are in a state of equilibrium, if there is a war, no matter what the result is, both sides will lose, and who will be cheaper at that time?"

Xue Dingfang sneered: "They took away the land of Huaibei, if they return it with both hands, it will be fine, if they don't return their own troops, the ancestors will not let an inch of land." ”

Xiao Han was speechless, but thinking that Jiangnan had been unified, and now that Wu Yue seemed to have taken the initiative to surrender, Li Congshan's ambition was inflated, so he would naturally fight for the Central Plains by regaining the land of his ancestors.

Wang Yansheng was a little angry and said: "Wuyue Prefecture, my Great Song Dynasty, can't it be worth the land of Huaibei?"

Xue Dingfang coldly went back and said: "Wu Yue is already in my Jiangnan, and my Datang takes him like a bag, how can you let it out of the Song Dynasty?"

Wang Yansheng said angrily: "In this way, if you want to fight, we are really afraid that you will not succeed?" Xue Ding said with a smile: "Very good, my emperor will lead the generals of the Tang Dynasty and millions of male soldiers to meet General Wang Huaibei." ”

The two of them were talking for a moment, and Xiao Han suddenly sighed and said, "If there is a better way to avoid war for the time being, and each can obtain a larger territory, I wonder if both sides may accept it?"
