I don't lose faith in people either.
also.
When Jiang Xuening heard these words, she was a bit dazed, because she didn't know who Xie Wei had made any promises to. Until a picture emerged from the vague memory, together with the voice that was almost forgotten by her in the past, it rang in her ears.
"Your Majesty, when will the iron hooves of the Central Plains break through the Yanmen Gate and bring His Highness back?"
"Soon, soon."
At that moment, it was as if a crack had opened on the ice. Something rushed over and touched her suddenly, causing her lips to open slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
But Xie Wei just looked away.
He has a calm and calm face, with a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away. Before she opened her mouth, she had already added: "Besides, I have my own plans."
Jiang Xuening was taken aback.
Xie Wei said: "First of all, Yan Lin puts too much emphasis on friendship. You have unfulfilled long-cherished wishes. Of course I can ignore them, but Yan Lin may not be able to. If you ask him for help, he will definitely go through fire and water for you. Border wars are dangerous. Extremely. But if something happens, my plan for several years will fall short and be ruined.”
His voice grew more indifferent.
The man got up from the table, took off the handkerchief on the side to wipe his hands, and said: "Miss Ning Er is paranoid, I can't persuade you not to save the princess, because of the old relationship, I can't kill you first." Future troubles. That’s why I came to Jinling from central Beijing. Although you are not an extremely intelligent person, you should be able to see the situation clearly. I expected that I have not come to see me for two days. I have many properties in my hand, and the accounts should be accounted for. Have you sent someone to check it out?"
"..."
Jiang Xuening could hardly believe what she heard.
She stood up suddenly and looked directly at Xie Wei!
There was even a little anger in the clear eyes.
She did come with a plan.
When Xie Wei came two days ago, he told her that he was going to the border.
You Fangyin originally prepared a large sum of money to participate in next year's salt competition, but the government found an excuse and refused to let them participate, and Lu Xian, who was supposed to intervene in this matter, did not vote How much does it cost to go in.
What does this prove?
It proves that Lu Xian's money has suddenly been used for other purposes, and I hope their money will not be handed over to the imperial court in order to compete for next year's Yanyin!
What needs to be rushed to the border?
What needs a lot of silver?
The biggest possibility is to go to war against the Tatars!
What's more, even if Xie Wei didn't have this plan, the news that Shen Zhiyi was trapped in the Tatars and asked the court for help had been confirmed. Since Jiang Xuening made a promise to others, he will naturally fulfill it.
Indeed, as Xie Wei said—
If there is no other way, she will hope that Yan Lin can lend a helping hand.
So after thinking for a long time that day, she asked You Fangyin and Ren Weizhi to hurry up and count all the money that could be used under their name, as well as the properties that could be realized in the near future.
In order to be able to come in handy as soon as possible.
But she didn't expect that Xie Wei would see through it at a glance, and when he changed the subject, there was such a cruel calculation behind it!
"I forgot."
Jiang Xuening felt a bit of warmth rising from the bottom of her heart, but was suddenly frozen by ice and snow, making her gently clenched the fingers hanging by her side, but there was a bit of irony in her voice.
"Mister's plan is so big that no one can predict it, how can he have the heart of an ordinary person?"
Xie Wei rolled his eyes and didn't explain.
Seeing his calm appearance, Jiang Xuening felt even more oppressed in her heart, thinking that just now she thought that there might still be some warmth and tenderness left in this person's heart, it was ridiculous!
The skin of a saint, the heart of a devil.
How dare she believe it.
But besides Xie Wei right now, who can he count on?
The eldest princess is in danger, she has no other choice at all.
At this moment, she didn't know whether she hated Xie Wei more or hated herself more, Jiang Xuening took a step back and bowed to Xie Wei to salute, but her voice was a little more serious, and she said: "Student is a scumbag." , Mr. has lofty aspirations, and it is a great fortune to have your pity and grace. What's more, how to save people? Money, food and wealth have been counted, and the account books will be handed over to Mr. in the evening. Since we are going to leave tomorrow, I will forgive the students for being rude. I have to go back and make some arrangements, so I will take my leave first."
Xie Wei put down the handkerchief to wipe his hands.
Jiang Xuening didn't listen to what he said, and only thought he had acquiesced. After bowing, with a cold face, she brushed her sleeves and retreated out of the room.
Lu Xian just came back outside.
The two bumped into each other.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for two years. Seeing this bright and cold face, Lu Xian was stunned for a moment before realizing who it was.
He wanted to say hello, but Jiang Xuening glanced at him, sneered and left.
Lu Xian's heart skipped a beat.
He turned around and looked at the window sash of the room where Xie Wei lived, hesitated for a moment, then lightly lifted his literati gown, and walked in boldly.
Xie Ju'an looked normal.
Xie Wei looked back: "How's the matter?"
Lu Xian made fun of it, but seeing the face of the girl from the Jiang family when she left just now, she must have been unhappy, so she didn't dare to touch the bad luck again, and just said: "After receiving the secret letter a few days ago, I went to the Yellow River Zhou, we have made arrangements in advance. Yan Shizi has already set off for the border yesterday to make deployments first. Xie Juan, the Tatars have elite troops this time, and it is not like before when they were lingering under the iron heels of the Central Plains. If this battle is unfavorable, we will There will be no more power to fight!"
Originally, in the past two years, Xie Wei's arrangements were seamless.
For the Tianjiao in the south headed by Wanxiuzi, he pretended to be submissive and did not break face with them, and occasionally provided convenience;
He ignored Buddhism in the north headed by Monk Yuanji, avoided its edge, and allowed it to develop.
Meng Yang and Monk Yuanji had a feud against their wives, but Xie Wei secretly stopped them.
The emperor was negligent in government affairs and only used ingenuity and power to control his subordinates. Naturally, the people complained, and the Tianjiao took the opportunity to develop and grow; Baima Temple was named the Huguo Temple because of the monk Yuanji, and it also has a good reputation among the people.
However, Monk Yuanji has an old feud with Wan Xiuzi.
Evil Buddhas and demons naturally fight endlessly.
Xie Wei stayed in the middle to hide his power and bide his time, and secretly recruited forces to help Yan Lin, just waiting for the two sides to consume each other and lose both sides in the fight. Even if one side wins, it is nothing more than a miserable victory.
At that time, he will wait for the opportunity to reap the benefits.
In this way, it doesn't take many soldiers to send troops to the north to create an earth-shattering rebellion!
But now because of Shen Zhiyi, the eldest princess of Leyang, she wants to make Yan Lin's move first, and use it to deal with the Tatars and save the princess!
From Lu Xian's point of view, it was simply a hole in the head.
But facing Xie Wei, he didn't dare to speak too harshly, he muttered: "The imperial court is unwilling to help the eldest princess, you and I are just outsiders, and we will do big treasonous things in the future. What flows is also the blood of the royal family, so I took the risk of failing to save her, and when you destroy the capital and kill the royal family, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to be left there, and why should she be herself?"
In other words, saving Shen Zhiyi would do a lot of harm to them, but not a single benefit!
Xie Wei was a little annoyed when he heard that he had said so much since he came, and handed him the cold tea on the corner of the desk, "Aren't you thirsty?"
Lu Xian frowned: "I'm not thirsty."
While speaking, he still took the cup of tea and subconsciously took a sip.
The taste of tea is deep, with a hint of staleness.
Lu Xian spit out in an instant, and couldn't believe it: "Xie, this tea is cold! Chen Cha, dare to pass it to me!"
Xie Wei only thought of the expression of the woman in the room when she stood up suddenly, there seemed to be such a point in her eyes, disappointed?
Doesn't she feel that he is a scourge, and she thinks he can still be saved?
There's nothing wrong with being disappointed.
Slowly closing his eyes, Xie Wei was really tired. He sat under the window, gently raised his hand to press his tense temples, and said, "Hot tea can't stop your mouth. There will be Ning Er later The account book has been delivered, and according to the plan, I will set off for the border tomorrow, and I will trouble you to plan and take care of it later, food, grass and supplies are the most important things in the armed forces, and there must be no mistakes."
"The account books over there, Miss Ning?"
Lu Xian's eyelids twitched abruptly, wondering what Jiang Xuening was doing with the account book, but when he thought about it, he remembered Jiang Xuening's ugly face when he left just now, and a bad premonition suddenly surfaced.
He said, "how did you tell her?"
Xie Wei rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to save Shen Zhiyi, no one can help her except me."
Lu Xian gasped.
It took him a while to come back to his senses, he hated iron for nothing, stomped his feet and said, "But you obviously... How can you please the girl like this?!"
Xie Wei remained silent.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves of the sycamore are yellow.
In the evening, Jinling City was shrouded in bright yellow light.
Several small boats were returning from the river, dragging their nets.
All laid back and peaceful.
But Jiang Xuening, who came out of the other hall, was very angry. After returning to Xiebai Residence in the carriage, she became even more angry and dropped three or four vases in the flower hall before she managed to regain her composure.
After drinking half a cup of tea, she sent someone to send the account book to Xie Wei's annex, and then sent someone to call You Fangyin to give an explanation.
The account books are handed in, but many things still need to be taken care of.
She wanted to go to the border in person, but in the Central Plains, You Fangyin needed to stay in charge, so that all matters, large and small, could be arranged in an orderly manner.
You Fangyin couldn't help being stunned when she heard it: "Why did you leave everything to me?"
Jiang Xuening was already asking people to pack their bags, and only said, "I'll be leaving tomorrow."
You Fangyin was shocked: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Xuening said bluntly, "Go to the border."
You Fangyin was completely stunned: "Yes, but in such a hurry, I will leave tomorrow..."
Jiang Xuening picked up the wooden box filled with soil, put it in the bag as a treasure, looked back at You Fangyin, and said: "There is not much time left, if the princess can't be rescued in the early spring of next year, there will be no future." Will have another chance."
In the previous life, when the Tatars went to war, the princess died!
This also means—
If they want to reverse the fate of the previous life and rescue the princess, they must fight the Tatars before the Tatars attack the Central Plains, and launch a surprise attack that is beyond everyone's expectations!
