The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 444 Xuan Shijing's Intention
After Qin Zhan and Baozi had eaten their fill, they went up to the second floor. The only ones left in the hall on the first floor were Xuan Shijing and the guards from the Hou Mansion.

"Long'er, Gao Jun, and Changle Shihu, tell me, how credible is what Qin Zhan and Leopard said?" Xuan Shijing glanced at the four of them and asked.

"Master Hou doesn't believe what Qin Zhan said?" Long'er asked.

"I don't fully believe it." Xuan Shijing said: "At first I thought Qin Zhan was brave and foolhardy, but when I saw him today and what he said, it doesn't seem like a task with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. How can he be brave and foolhardy when he has endured for many years? He is waiting for an opportunity, and this Marquis is an excellent opportunity for him, but is he too reckless in such a form?"

"Master Hou, my subordinates think that the words of Qin Zhan and Leopard are [-]% credible." Chang Le said.

"Why do you see that?" Xuan Shijing looked at Chang Le and asked.

"First, Brother Gao and I inquired about the news in Yingtou's village. It was almost the same as what Qin Zhan said. Yingtou also investigated the so-called master. That master was so important in Qin Zhan's village that he could even Whether it is Qin Zhan's decision or not, Lord Hou feels that Qin Zhan is not the kind of person who is brave and foolhardy. In other words, Qin Zhan also has his own ideas, decisions, or ambitions, but such a person is always Being restrained by that master, he must be dissatisfied in his heart, so he waited for the opportunity in secret, so it made sense." Chang Le said.

"I agree with Chang Le's words." Gao Jun echoed, "It can be said that Yingtou and Qin Zhan's cottage have had a long-standing grievance. First of all, if we attack Qin Zhan's cottage, it will be beneficial to Yingtou without any harm. , Therefore, there is no need for Yingtou to provide us with false information. If you provide false information, it is tantamount to offending Lord Hou. What are the consequences of offending a noble from Chang'an City? It is impossible to be as scheming as Yingtou I don't know, so as far as the news from Yingtou Village is concerned, it can be confirmed that [-]% is true. What Qin Zhan and Leopard said just now is enough to make up for the remaining [-]%, Qin Zhan and Leopard can't guess in advance that we will join forces with Yingtou to deal with them."

Xuan Shijing nodded and said: "That's true. In this way, Qin Zhan and Leopard are credible. No matter what their ultimate goal is, in a word, our goal is the same as his. His goal is Master, our target is the people behind Master."

"But Lord Hou, the master and the people behind him didn't offend us, why are we going to help Qin Zhan take back the cottage?" Long'er asked in confusion.

"Master Hou wants to meddle in the green forest roads around the Qinling Mountains." Shi Hu said to the point.

"That's right, Shihu, when did you become smart?" Xuan Shijing joked with a smile.

"It's not that you've become smarter. Just now, Master Hou asked Gao Jun to transfer two people from Chang'an to sneak into Qin Zhan's cottage. That's why I guessed that Master Hou is interested in the green forest roads in Qinling Mountains." Shi Hu was a little embarrassed. scratched his head and said.

"Exactly, the situation on the Dao can be seen from the side of Qinling. It can be seen that in general, as the saying goes, chivalrous use of martial arts is forbidden. Although there are rules on the Dao, the rules are dead. For those who eat, the laws of the Tang Dynasty have no binding force on them, and for such a phenomenon, they can only eat black and eat black, and the most suitable place is our Erxianzhuang." Xuan Shijing Said: "Once upon a time, Erxian Village was also the leader of the Green Forest Road in the north, but it has been gradually buried in the past few years. Now this is the case in Qinling alone, and there should be a leader to come out and rectify it. .”

"Master Hou wants to be this early bird, aren't you afraid that those officials in Chang'an City will impeach you?" Long'er said worriedly.

"It's nothing to be afraid of. I don't believe that those people in Chang'an City are clean. What's more, it is still beneficial to us to clean up the spies in Qinling. , it’s just the road of Shangzhou, that’s why some people put their eyes on Qin Zhan’s cottage. If Yingtou played like Qin Zhan for a few years before gaining a foothold near Shangzhou, even Yingtou would not be able to escape. Qin Zhan's fate of being targeted like this."

"Since this place is good, will someone be jealous when Master Hou really cleans up the spies here?" Long'er asked.

"Jealousness is certain, it depends on whether they have enough capital to be jealous." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "It's justifiable for Erxianzhuang to take over the affairs of Jianghu. Besides, I also mentioned it in the letter to His Majesty. When it comes to this matter, if anyone is jealous, let him go directly to His Majesty and tell him."

Xuan Shijing just mentioned such a sentence or two in the letter, and then dumped the whole blame on His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er is so wise and powerful, isn't it just to take the blame.

"So that's how it is." Long'er suddenly realized that what Xuan Shijing did originally, in Long'er's eyes, was undoubtedly a thankless way. After spending so much effort to help Qin Zhan retake the stockade or something, in the end it was very difficult for his own family. The master is useless at all, so why bother to meddle in such a troublesome matter? Now, it seems that the Hou master regards the Qinling and Shangzhou areas as a chessboard, and the next game will be very exciting.

"By the way, Gao Jun, have you heard about Qiandui? Has our caravan been harassed by these bandits in Qinling Shangzhou?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's unlikely that we will be targeted by bandits." Gao Jun rubbed his chin and said, "After all, our caravans are relatively large every time they go south, and the guards following the caravan are not too big. Few, and the guards of our caravan used to be people of the Dao, who dare not sell a little face, this Dao also pays attention to seniority, and the Dao is a bit particular, it is stricter than the court." Gao Jun said.

"Well, that's good. If these bandits are really so blind and dare to attack our caravan, Ben Hou doesn't mind letting them open their eyes to see clearly." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

Hearing the words, everyone couldn't help but wipe off the sweat for those bandits. This family hasn't made an idea of ​​the Marquis's Mansion yet. His own Lord Marquis has already thought about incorporating him. What's the matter.

On the third watch, Qin Zhan and Baozi got up and tidied up quickly, walked out of the room, went downstairs, and saw Chang Le drinking tea in the hall.

"Brother Chang, why don't you go to rest?" Qin Zhan walked to the table and asked.

"Watching the night." Chang Le said with a smile: "Master Qin, please sit down and have a cup of tea."

"No." Qin Zhan evaded, "Leopard and I have to hurry."

"That's it, brother, hereby wish Master Qin a smooth journey." Chang Le raised the teacup in his hand to signal to the invader.

Qin Zhan arched his hands and said with a smile, "So, thank you Brother Chang for your good words."
