Chapter 878 Chapter 878: Abacus failed 【Seeking a monthly ticket】
"The people in Tianhai can be regarded as gone."
He Yin, Xu Jie's private house, inner courtyard.
Ms. Xu Jie stepped into the house, the sweltering heat and the smell of soup in the air made her frown. She waved away the serving servants and maids until only Xu Jie's cronies were left in the room. She walked around the screen and saw her husband lying on the bed.
Sit down on the side of the bed.
Xu Jie, who was breathing weakly, raised her eyelids a little, and she rolled her eyes and complained in a low voice: "My lord doesn't want to go to Tianhai, and I don't want to make fun of my own life. If I break my leg and hit my head, I won't even breathe, and I won't be afraid." Are you scared out of your wits?"
Xu Jie opened his eyes and took off his forehead strap.
laughed: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that Madam won't be able to deceive others?"
Only he and a few of his confidants knew about this plan, and they didn't dare to tell his wife because they were afraid that her acting skills would show flaws. Xu Jie stood up on his elbows, and his wife put a cushion on his waist at the right time, so that he could lean on without so much effort, and couldn't help being angry: "If you don't try, how do you know I can't deceive people? Forget it, I won't argue with you." These. Who told me that I am just an ordinary person, how can I know how hard-headed you literary scholars who can cultivate are! You can survive with so much blood if you make an opening?"
As she spoke, she stretched her hand coated with Kodan along the quilt piled up on Xu Jie's waist and abdomen, and pinched a small piece of meat on the tender part of his thigh, causing Xu Jie's facial features to shift due to the pain. He wanted to cry out the pain, but for the sake of dignity, he swallowed his voice back abruptly.
Finally, he bent down and begged his wife for mercy in a low voice: "Madam! Madam! Be gentle...Because my husband only hurts his head and legs, but now his upper and lower pain..."
Madam took her hand back.
Xie lay on his stomach on the bed and gasped for breath, secretly glanced at the person beside him from the corner of his eye, making sure that she wasn't that angry, and then he returned to normal. Madam is not angry anymore, but when she thinks about the current situation, she is still frowning: "Although the clan elders were sent there, but you broke your leg and bumped your head, will Mr. Wu believe it?"
Xu Jie didn't even believe her.
How much does he drink?
Drunk not to mention, he was still so drunk that he was unconscious. On the way back to the inner courtyard, he slipped and stepped on moss and broke his leg. After floating in the pond for most of the night, he was found by the patrol guards and picked it up, saving his life.
What a joke!
Why didn't he just say that he was drunk and fell into the dry toilet?
Xu Jie covered the itchy and hot wound on his head, and said, "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Wu Gong missed Shang Nan completely, and he has nothing to do with He Yin. Now, we are ready for everything, only one day away. something..."
what?
Naturally, it was Shen Jun and Shen Youli's reply.
As long as Shen Youli received a reply letter, Shen Youli accepted him and He Yin, who nominally belonged to the territory of Kang State, and Wu Xian completely lost the bargaining chip to threaten the Xu family. On the contrary, He Yin will also become one of the border counties of Kang State and become an invisible threat to Tianhai.
"Based on this geographical location, Duke Wu would not dare to set his capital in Tianhai. The Tianhai family would be like a concubine." He Yin became a county on the border of Shentang, and Wu Xian set his capital in Tianhai. What's the difference?
When thinking of that scene, Xu Jie wanted to laugh.
The movement was too big and the wound was involved, and he was so painful that his facial features shifted, and he was criticized by his wife: "Is it so funny?"
She was not clear about the external political situation, and what she learned was what Xu Jie took the initiative to share with her. She really couldn't sympathize with Xu Jie's joke - Wu Xian couldn't make Tianhai his capital, why did the Tianhai family want to be a concubine? Isn't it just a royal capital?
There used to be so many countries in the Northwest Continent side by side, and every place was the capital of the king. Whether Tianhai is the king or not is very important?
Xu Jie said: "It's very important, ma'am."
He held his wife's hand and rubbed it carefully.
"Let's not mention the other things, Madam, do you know how difficult it is to deal with a local snake? For example, Tianhai is the capital of the king, and Tianhai's local gentry is the king's snake. No matter what the benefits are, you must first stick to the capital. Tianhai eats meat , and then it’s the turn to drink soup in other places. Tianhai cannot become the capital of the kingdom, and the Tianhai family will follow Duke Wu to move to the new capital of the kingdom..."
The influence of Tianhai Family will be reduced.
"...Wu Gong said to build something in the new king's capital. Most of the benefits are cheaper for the local snakes in the new place. Can those old people who have followed Wu Gong for many years feel at ease?" Xu Jie eased his smile and raised another question for his wife. An easy-to-understand example, "Madam can buy the most fashionable rouge, gouache, silk and satin in the capital, and the border counties that may go to war at any time?"
The family property of the Tianhai family is now in Tianhai, which is about to become a border county, and the loss inside and out is too great!
Xu's explanation was simple, and Madam naturally understood it.
whispered: "It's so much worse..."
Xu Jie sighed: "The key to preventing Tianhai from becoming a border county lies in Heyin, and the ownership of Shangnan determines the ownership of Heyin. Ma'am, you can mobilize your whole body. Wu Gong is not wronged at all if he loses. I didn't overindulge the Tianhai family, let Qin Gongsu and Zhao Dayi feel completely chilled, with Qin Li's plan, it's still unknown who will win Shangnanlu."
If Gu Ren did not die, the Northwest would probably stand on three legs. For Wu Xian today, even if the three legs stand together, it is better than the coexistence of the two, at least he can win over Gu Ren as a shield. Gu Ziyi is really a good guy, the best peacemaker.
Mrs. said: "Everyone has his own destiny."
Xu Jie's eyes were inexplicably clingy: "I don't believe in fate for my husband."
The couple got together less and separated more in the early years.
Less communication, less understanding, the relationship once dropped to freezing point.
He is busy with business and family planning, and doesn't care about the inner house. He can be considered a good husband as long as he gives his wife enough decency and substance, and keeps himself clean. As long as she manages the house well and takes care of her children, she is a good wife. Aren't all couples like this in the world?
In the past two years, I have different ideas.
Well, it looks like an old house is on fire.
This gave Xu Jie a very novel experience.
Especially the last time I received a family letter from Wen Shi, he mentioned a very explosive private topic in the family letter, which was like "adding fuel to the fire". The relationship between the husband and wife directly increased by leaps and bounds. Only ruins remain.
Madam blushed, and gently patted his hand away.
"Let's take care of your injury in peace."
He clutched his wound: "Hmph, Wenxin scholar..."
As long as he lets go of his control over his literary spirit, he won't have to spend a hundred days in a state of exhaustion. Madam seems to be annoyed at him.
Xu Jie felt that this glance was full of charm.
Because the governor of Heyin couldn't afford to be sick, from time to time at the gate of the government office, he could pick up fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and goose eggs secretly sent by the common people, and offer incense to the longevity card enshrined in his home three times a day. Finally, their sincerity finally touched the heavens, their sheriff woke up, and in order to appease the people, he forced himself to meet the officials with his sick body, and arranged the affairs of the official office, and He Yin celebrated from top to bottom.
Xu Jie recovered quickly after waking up.
Every day, I would hang out with a strange wooden crutch, looking in the direction of the city gate. The common people didn't know what the sheriff was waiting for until ten days later, Tianhai sent another messenger.
The messenger looked at Xu Jie's face and cupped his hands.
"Is Governor Xu waiting here?"
The Tianhai messenger sneaked into Heyin territory in disguise. Xu Jie didn't receive any news at all, and was caught off guard. Xu Jie's expression didn't change, his yin and yang were strange: "Xu doesn't know how to divination and divination, and when he doesn't know the fate and destiny, how does he know that the messenger will play 'Crossing the River in White Clothes'..."
The messenger was not displeased by Xu Jie's ridicule, but just smiled and told the sad news: "Mr. Xu, please don't get me wrong. I came here for no other purpose. It's to deliver the obituary."
"Didn't Governor Xu be in a coma before, and he sent the clan elders to go to Tianhai? Unfortunately, that Mr. Xu was old, exhausted by boats and cars, and he couldn't afford to fall ill. The medicine didn't work, and he died of high fever in the middle of the night. My lord ordered I, be sure to tell Governor Xu the news in person, and I beg you—sorrow and obedience.”
The messenger emphasized the pronunciation of the word "in person".
Xu Jie was also mentally prepared for this, the clan elder himself was disobedient, he got close to Tianhai several times and stabbed him in the back, and he was the one who borrowed a knife to kill him. It's just that Wu Xian would kill if he said so, and now he sent someone to threaten him, which surprised Xu Jie.
Today’s Mr. Wu— has the demeanor of many years ago.
After all, Xu Jie is an old fritter in the vertical and horizontal shopping malls. He has never seen any scenes. Facing the coercion of the courier, he did not show any flaws: "Oh, high fever in the middle of the night? Considering his age, the clan uncle is also an old man who died. It’s also a joy or a funeral.”
Turning his head and ordering the guards beside him to report the funeral in the clan, the elders of the clan have devoted themselves to the Xu family, and the compensation for his descendants must be given in place, and after the order, the messenger is invited to rest inside. But the messenger refused to move, and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to sit down for a while. My lord is afraid that there will be thieves who don't have eyesight on the road, so I specially ordered thousands of elite escorts to accompany me. After I'm done with work, I have to go back and report."
Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he clenched his stick tightly.
This guy is really doing the "crossing the river in white clothes" thing!
Thousands of elites have all arrived in Heyin territory?
He was about to respond when the messenger mentioned Wu Xian's invitation again, and glanced at Xu Jie's not-so-clever legs and the wooden crutch in his hand, and said, "This crutch is weird, but it's a very good tool. Governor Xu uses it, so he doesn't need to send someone down." With support, you can walk freely."
Xu Jie's smile was a little forced.
"Oh, this is from my brother."
It is said that it was made one-to-one based on Shen Jun's wooden staff.
Xu Jie was thinking about how to delay the time, or go all out and kill the messenger in front of him. So what if there are thousands of Wu Xian soldiers and horses in Heyin County? When he took over He Yin from Shen Jun, He Yin had a plan to turn all the people into soldiers. Every year when farming is not busy, the government will secretly organize various villages to practice martial arts. Over time, many villages have turned martial arts drills into a place for villages to resolve their grievances. Any conflicts in normal times are saved to this event to resolve, which greatly promotes peace and stability in the country.
The number of village fighting cases has dropped significantly.
These thousands of elites dare to fight, and the common people under the rule can also block it. However, the combat quality of ordinary people is still far from that of the elites in the army! Bloodshed is inevitable if you do it.
Xu Jie hesitated, and the messenger stared at him closely.
urged: "Mr. Xu, have you thought about it?"
Xu Jie still didn't give up delaying the time, he wanted to arrange for the evacuation of the tribe, if all of them fell into Wu Xian's hands, it would be troublesome.
The Messenger obviously doesn't like him.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the sound of horseshoes approached from the direction of the city gate. Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat when he heard the sound of horseshoes. Fugu City was rebuilt by Shen Tang, the main streets are extremely spacious, and horses are not allowed to ride, the sound of horseshoes—
Xie looked at the messenger, the wooden stick was crushed by him.
The messenger urged: "What are Governor Xu waiting for?"
The sound of horseshoes is getting closer.
Following, the familiar Wu Qi approached.
Xu Jie's eyes lit up instantly, and he was saved from a desperate situation.
"Brother—"
The young warrior on horseback jumped down, and when his feet landed, the horse turned into martial energy and received a tiger talisman. Behind him was a cavalry of a hundred men. Youth hairstyles are unusual in that the hair is braided into many braids and tied around the head.
Who else could it be if not Xu Wenshi?
Xu Quan grinned, with a riding whip still rolled in his hand.
"I'm back!"
As he spoke, he rushed towards Xu Jie like a calf.
Giving a big bear hug to my cousin whom I haven't seen in years.
Xu Jie could hear his own bones moaning.
Even though he was ecstatic in his heart, he still didn't show much good looks on his face, and said admonishingly, "How old are you, still so childish? You are not afraid of being laughed at by the envoy. Wen Shi, who has been away from home for many years, is rude and unruly, let the envoy see him as a joke." gone."
The courier did not watch the cousins interact.
His sight fell on the centurion.
Many cavalrymen had ticking, bleeding heads on their horses, and one or two heads looked familiar. Xu Quan noticed his gaze and explained: "On the way back, I met a few sneaky bandits. I was worried that they would do evil, so I took care of them. It's a pity that they escaped so fast. It's a pity that only a dozen or so were caught... a dozen or so A head is enough to put a necklace on my cousin."
The eye sockets of the messenger were bloodshot at some point.
Looking at Xu Quan, there is a flash of bloodlust.
Xu Quan didn't seem to notice, he twirled his braids hanging on his shoulders, and asked Xu Jie for credit with a smile, but was scolded by Xu Jie. What does it mean to string him a necklace with these heads? Earlier, he used Shi Wu Xungui's head to make a necklace for him as a birthday gift, which made him suffer from headaches for several days. This kid is getting worse now! Those who didn't know thought Xu's education was barbaric.
The messenger secretly took a deep breath to calm down.
said: "I heard that Mr. Xu Xiaolang joined Shen Jun's account?"
Xu Quan said: "Yes."
Messenger asked: "Then why are you here?"
Xu Quan focused on answering every question, scratching his head: "Oh, this one, it's approaching the end of the year, and I miss my brother whom I haven't seen for many years, so I took a long vacation, and by the way, I will act as a messenger for the lord."
After finishing speaking, he took out a secret letter from his pocket and gave it to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie seemed calm, but actually took it with trembling hands.
The courier looked unhappy and said, "This is?"
Xu Quan grinned and gritted his teeth: "The boy is really inseparable from his elder brother, so he pestered his lord to recommend his elder brother. The lord thought of his past friendship, and also felt that his elder brother's character is valuable, so he submitted a document to collect it."
The messenger said: "Expropriation?"
His voice was suddenly harsh.
"Shen Jun doesn't know Mrs. Xu and Mr. Wu..."
Xu Quan said foolishly: "Of course I know, my brother was once a staff member of Wu Gong's tent, but—isn't it divided?"
His eyes looked at the messenger sincerely.
Turned to look at his brother again: "Isn't it?"

Conquering this, Tangmei’s status at the beginning can only be regarded as Pi, but now this status is considered to be conscripted. But I'm too lazy to score, so I use Zhengbi directly.
