Chapter 1: Tear off the disguise
Xie Tong woke up early the next day, and he tossed and turned this night, and slept very unsteadily. He was always thinking about how to dredge up this relationship with Song Wenyuan, and came forward as Xie Tong, and the success rate was almost zero. Judging from the situation of the lantern dinner, Song Wenyuan was also in a very embarrassing situation, not only was he calculated by Sima Xuan, but he also had to give in, but from a normal point of view, Song Wenyuan must have taken refuge in Sima Xuan's side, after all, the strength of the other party is too strong, from the celebrities around the emperor to the bureaucrats at the grassroots level, only Sima Xuan is the first to look forward, Sima Xuan himself is also a lieutenant, one of the three dukes, and is the representative of the clan valve. He is the hope of the clan valve Zhongxing. Replaced by Xie Tong, who is in Song Wenyuan's position, will also join the powerful side.
If you want to win, there is only one way, which is to take off your disguise and face Song Wenyuan directly as Xie Yang. The statement is powerful, but after leaving Chengdu, Xie Yang was chased and killed by the Song Valve, which is already a well-known thing, can they break through this barrier? Xie Tong did not dare to make a decision. So, I slept all night.
After breakfast, Xie Tong went to visit the Hong Mansion, he planned to meet Hong Shan first, listen to her opinion, and make plans.
Hong Shan met him in the hall of the Hong Mansion. Seeing Ailang's desperate visit, Hong Shan's heart was extremely comfortable.
Hong Shan pretended to be and said, "The master came so early today, is it to teach the apprentices to practice swords?" Because of the presence of subordinates, the two did not dare to be too close, and they were still called master and apprentice.
Xie Tong smiled and said, "After accepting an apprentice like Miss Hong, I suddenly felt a light on my face for the teacher, and of course I tried my best to teach the disciple's swordsmanship, so that others would not think that Xie was a person who sold his reputation and reputation." ”
Hong Shan stuck out her tongue cutely, pretended to make a grimace, and said, "Then please ask the master to move to the backyard and teach a few introductory swordsmanship first." ”
Xie Tong said, "Miss Hong, please."
The two of them went back and forth to the open space in the backyard, and Hong Shan said happily, "Is the master really here to teach Shan'er swordsmanship?"
Xie Tong said seriously, "Of course so, otherwise this master is here to talk to you about love?"
Hong Shan smiled and said, "Death, don't think that you don't know your idea, don't you miss me"
Xie Tong deliberately missed his squinting expression, and said, "Shan'er still understands me, so let's kiss first, as a warm-up."
Hong Shan took a sip and said, "Look at the squinting look on your face, I know you don't have any good ideas." ”
Xie Tong said slowly, "Isn't it a good idea to kiss your mouth? Since Xie left Chengdu, he hasn't tasted Miss Shan'er's fragrant mouth for a long time, and when he was in Yangzhou, I dreamed of your little mouth every night!"
Hong Shan couldn't stand the teasing of his words, and said, "Shut up, you're going to die! This is my house, aren't you afraid that my father will see it and break your legs?
Xie Tong was in a good mood and said, "Famous flowers have masters, have you forgotten that Lao Tzu is your husband?"
Hong Shan's eyes widened, and said, "You're saying it again, see if this girl doesn't break your mouth" and immediately laughed, "This girl's husband is the one who captured Huang Chao alive or obtained the head of Huang Chao, Xie Tong, you don't seem to be qualified enough now."
Xie Tong smiled lewdly, "You're giving Lao Tzu a sneer, beware of me warming your bed."
Hong Shan crossed her hands on her hips, and glared at her beautiful eyes, "You dare."
Xie Tong enjoyed this rare time very much, as if returning to the sweet moment when the two of them were in Chengdu.
Xie Tong paused and said, "Shan'er, I have something important to come to you today."
Hong Shan deliberately leaked a displeased expression, and said, "This girl is listening!"
Xie Tong then stated what Wang Daoxun said to him yesterday, including the treatment of Song Wenyuan.
The corners of Hong Shan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she sat lightly on the stone bench in the courtyard, she was a very smart person, and instantly understood what Xie Tong meant. Hong Shan bit her lip lightly and said, "This matter is extremely difficult, don't say Song Wenyuan, even Shan'er is difficult to stand on your side."
Xie Tong was surprised, "Why!"
Hong Shan said slowly, "Big brother, don't forget, brother-in-law and Shan'er are also members of the clan, representing the interests of the clan, now that the clan is prosperous, the tide is rising, as a clan, the people of the clan will definitely support the Sima clan desperately, how can they turn against the cold door, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot?"
Xie Tong's heart sank, and the look of disappointment on his face was definitely not pretended. Even Shan'er can't help him, isn't there no one in this world he trusts.
Hong Shan observed the words and said, "Shan'er is joking, big brother, don't take it seriously, no matter what you do, Shan'er will support you with all the time." With the ambition of the Sima clan, he will not regard the revival of the clan as the ultimate goal. He must seek the throne of emperor. Shan'er has been wandering in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and she knows the suffering of the people in the poor family, and she must not watch the people never come out, nor can she condone Sima's covetousness. Although Shan'er is a woman, she knows the righteousness of the world and will definitely support her eldest brother."
Xie Tong's excited heart was surging, Hong Shan showed his heart like this, if he stood on the opposite side of the clan, he also betrayed the family, what kind of mind this is, and it is also a complete trust in Xie Tong, how could he not know.
Xie Tong gratefully clenched Hong Shan's hand.
Hong Shan pulled it out vigorously and said, "Don't let people see it." Then he blushed. "Song Wenyuan is the representative of the Sichuan and Shu valves, and it is not easy to convince him."
Xie Tong thought of the topic of coming to Hong Shan this time, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Song shouldn't be so unwise!"
Hong Shan said, "Brother Tong, this is why you don't understand the valve clan, as a member of the family, you will see the interests of the family as more important than life, after all, one is prosperous, one is lost, although the brother-in-law is the representative of the Sichuan Shu Song Valve, but the real person is still the scheming Song Kui, although Song Kui is not in Chang'an, but he still knows everything about Chang'an. He is shrewd enough not to get easily involved in this political struggle, and he will definitely watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman, so it may not be so easy to convince his brother-in-law. ”
Xie Tong knew that Hong Shan's analysis was very reasonable, and it was very incisive, he pondered for a moment and said, "I will go to see him as Xie Yang." ”
Hong Shan said, "Brother Tong, are you crazy? If it is leaked, the identity you have worked so hard to create will be in vain."
Xie Tong smiled and said, "I believe in Song Wenyuan, I also believe in myself, if I don't succeed this time, I will become a benevolent, and I will never give up."
Hong Shan said faintly: "Then I must accompany me." ”
Xie Tong said in his heart, "This is very good, with Hong Shan's shrewdness and spiritual power, it will definitely help him greatly", and he hurriedly said, "Without further ado, we will go to Song Wenyuan now."
Song Wenyuan met Xie Tong and the others in his small study. To tell the truth, since the Lantern Dinner, he has an excellent impression of Xie Tong, this person is not only strong in martial arts, sharp in speech, but also first-class in wisdom, except for his ugly appearance, he has almost no shortcomings. I was very grateful for his help, and I couldn't thank him in person, but Xie Tong had already come to the door.
Song Wenyuan served tea. The three of them sat staring at each other in the small study.
Hong Shan smiled and said, "Where is my sister going!"
Song Wenyuan said, "Ye'er went to the White Horse Temple and prayed for blessings", then looked at Xie Tong and said, "It is indeed a blessing for Wenyuan to be able to meet a character like Brother Xie."
Xie Tong smiled and said, "What did Brother Wen Yuan say, I, Xie Tong, don't look down on aggressive people, at the lantern dinner, Lord Taiwei made it clear that he was targeting Brother Song, which made Xie Tong angry, I don't know what Brother Song has planned."
Song Wenyuan didn't expect Xie Tong to speak so bluntly, and what boldness, such an accusation of the Taiwei, if it was spread out, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. But he was still very relieved in his heart, and if the other party dared to say this, he must have regarded him as his own. He gently took a sip of hot tea and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xie, now that the Sima clan is strong, and with the support of Father-in-law Tian, it can be said that it is at its peak, and Wen Yuan has nothing else to do except hand over the military power of the Song family's army", he sighed deeply.
Xie Tong's eyes widened, and he said, "Brother Song, isn't he too spineless? For a person like Sima Shi, his appetite is too great. I'm afraid that Brother Song will take out the Song family's family foundation, and he still can't satisfy Sima Xuan's desires. Didn't Brother Song think about attaching himself to the prince and being loyal to the saint?"
A cold light flashed in Song Wenyuan's eyes, and he disappeared immediately, saying, "Isn't allegiance to the Holy Lord and handing over the Song family army the same thing?"
Hong Shan interjected on the side: "Brother-in-law, you are a reasonable person, how could you ask such a stupid thing." Allegiance to the Holy Supreme is like allegiance to the country, and Sima Xuan is just an ambitious person, his purpose is not only to the Zhongxing clan, but also to seek power and usurp the throne. ”
Song Wenyuan's heart was shocked, and he said, "Lord Taiwei shouldn't be so bold!!"
Xie Tong continued, "What is going on in people's hearts, this is unknown. However, at the moment, Sima Xuan is trying his best to win over the clan and collude with all parties to make the envoys, what exactly is the intention and the action. As for the persecution of the Song family, it is just one of the episodes. Brother Song should know that what Xie Tong said is true."
Song Wenyuan picked up the teacup, he took a sip of tea gently, then stared at Xie Tong, and said fiercely, "Who are you? Dare to come here to bewitch the public, if it weren't for the face of you being Master Shan'er, beware that Song would kidnap you now, send you to the Taiwei Mansion, and treat your serious crimes." “
Xie Tong didn't expect Song Wenyuan to be so stubborn, he insisted on guarding that pedantic thought, he had anger in his heart, and secretly carried the power of the fifth layer of Huangtian Dafa, gathered his qi into a bundle, and shot at Song Wenyuan's teacup.
Hearing a snap, the teacup was smashed by the true qi, and the tea splashed Song Wenyuan's face, Song Wenyuan glared angrily, and said, "Xie Tong, what do you mean? Don't think that I, Song Wenyuan, are you afraid of you, Shan'er, what kind of friend are you, he is not welcome here, take him away quickly." Song Wenyuan was really angry, but he still endured it and didn't do it.
Xie Tong still sat there with a grin, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Song to be so belly-bound, and he didn't care about me."
Song Wenyuan snorted coldly and didn't look at him.
Xie Tong continued, "I'll see how long you can endure it." With that, he threw out the teacup in his hand and went straight to Song Wenyuan.
