After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 143 Chu Xingjian
As soon as Sun's promise was settled, the envoys from the four countries arrived, and Wei Xingzhi went back to the Wei Mansion temporarily.

In Qingcitang, the old lady and old general Wei were there, and Wang Zhiyang was also sitting next to her. Unexpectedly, Chu Xingjian was also there.

Wearing a robe with dark purple sleeves with gold and silver water patterns, his long hair was pulled up high, and his brows and eyes were a little noble. When he saw Wei Xingzhi coming in, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Wei Xingzhi's expression paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he looked at Chu Xingjian.

It has been three years since the original owner saw Chu Xingjian last time, right?
"Brother Chu, we meet again after a long absence, we will stay for dinner later."

Chu Xingjian chuckled lightly, "Forget it, now is the time for troublesome things, I'd better avoid other people's eyes when I come here, come and see how the old man and old lady are doing, and see if Brother Wang's health is better, as for The meal is free, and I have to go back as soon as possible, so as not to make people suspicious."

"That's right, your status is different now." Wei Xingzhi felt a little regretful, "Otherwise, you will definitely not be drunk tonight."

There was a gloomy look in Chu Xingjian's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more bitter, "There will be opportunities in the future, let's forget about today, I think you have changed a lot in the past three years. I've heard everything about Dan."

"Are you here to greet me?" Wei Xingzhi curled his lips, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in two or three gulps while it was still warm.

Chu Xingjian shook his head, "No, there are other things I want to tell you."

"Go out and talk." Wei Xingzhi greeted Old General Wei, then turned and left.

Walking to a hidden corner, Chu Xingjian said, "I found out what you asked me to inquire about last time. The Cheng family is indeed not simple."

"I know." Wei Xingzhi suspected the Chengjia family as early as Cheng Qianqian's death, and adding that Prime Minister Jia's case was full of loopholes, she thought of asking Chu Xingjian to help her investigate secretly.

Chu Xingjian traveled the rivers and lakes for many years before, and met many black and white people.

"I said not simple, not simply not simple."

"I know that the Cheng family is a spy sent by Xishu." Wei Xingzhi continued.

Chu Xingjian's face sank, "You know, you still asked me to check for you."

"I just found out, you still found something, continue to talk about it." Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.

Chu Xingjian glared at her angrily, "In order to swallow up Nanxiao, Xishu secretly smuggled Cheng's family line to Nanxiao very early on. It took a lot of work for Cheng Taifu to get to where he is now. Location.

As for his eldest daughter, Cheng Wansu died of illness shortly after she was born, but Mrs. Cheng suffered from extreme heartache and became constipated. Now this person is the fourth princess of Xishu, Yufei. Being bullied, Yufei volunteered to come to Nanxiao for the sake of her mother, to replace the identity of Cheng's parents' daughter and serve as a secret guard for Xishu. "

Wei Xingzhi's expression remained unchanged, "Where did you hear all this?"

Chu Xingjian said in a low voice, "Of course the people in the palace know the secrets of the Western Shu royal family."

Wei Xingzhi's eyes widened, "Do you have people in the palace?"

"Shhh." Chu Xingjian made a silent gesture, "It's not me, it's a friend of mine. I also heard that the one sent by Xishu this time is a princess whose husband died twice, and a princess who suddenly died. The Fifth Prince who was valued by the Emperor of Western Shu."

Wei Xingzhi thought about it carefully, and it turned out that the one who sent troops to attack Danyang was the second prince of Xishu who was expected to become the crown prince.

The last time Xishu missed the best opportunity, the emperor of Xishu was furious and almost turned his back on the second prince. It just so happened that the fifth prince Yu Huaiyin took advantage of this opportunity to skyrocket and win the emperor's trust.

"The fifth prince is very close to Wancheng Changfeng." Chu Xingjian remembered seeing the two of them arguing on the street when they sneaked out.

Wei Xingzhi came back to his senses, "Do you know who is here in Beijiang this time?"

Chu Xingjian frowned, "Speaking of this, I also find it strange that in previous years, Northern Xinjiang sent at most three or two elders, but this time...the one who sent them is a famous saint."

"Isn't the saint not allowed to take half a step out of northern Xinjiang?"

Wei Xingzhi had also heard about the Holy Maiden, and her intuition told her that this was not a simple role.

Chu Xingjian said, "Then who knows what's going on, there may be some movement in the northern border. Now Nanxiao, the old generals are dead, and those who have been disarmed and returned to the forest are gone. Only you juniors are left. Who doesn't stare at it?"

Among Nan Xiao's ministers, only civil servants are left, but what is needed in troubled times is generals.

"Including my father, he is also ready to make a move. He intends to form an alliance with Beijiang." When Chu Xingjian said this, sarcasm appeared in his eyes.

Chu's current army is not even one-third of that of the other four countries. What qualifications does it have to stand on the field of competition?

Besides, where did Chu come from to be able to stabilize the country?Forming an alliance with Beijiang is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

Chu Xingjian looked into Wei Xingzhi's eyes, "Don't worry, if I don't reach that step, I will not become an enemy with you, even if there is such a day, I will cut off my robes with you early to draw a clear line.

It's getting late, I have to go back, my father is suspicious and sent someone to watch me, if he finds out that I'm missing, it will be a little difficult. "

Wei Xingzhi nodded, "Okay, you go back first."

After returning to Qingcitang, the old lady asked, "How long will you stay here after leaving the palace?"

Wei Xingzhi sat on the chair and drank a glass of water, "Why do you ask such a question, grandma."

The old lady's eyes dimmed, "It's not that I'm talking about you, you've got a marriage contract now, what's the matter with living in the palace all the time? Have you lost your temper with Xiaochen?"

"No." Wei Xingzhi hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and waved his hand, "Absolutely not. Didn't I enter the palace because the emperor was assassinated?"

The old lady closed her eyes, "These days have passed, you should be careful. Although the Qin family doesn't care, we must always pay attention to the impact."

Wei Xingzhi ran in front of the old lady, squatted on the ground, and beat her leg, "I know, I know, don't worry, grandma, the granddaughter has a sense of proportion, I should go to the Qin manor to talk to Aunt Qin tomorrow."

The old lady glanced at her, and her anger subsided a lot, "Xiaochen was taught a lot by the Qin family a few days ago because of the girl from the Tan family. You go over and take a good look at him. After all, we are going to live together in the future. Yes, it would be better to have something to say."

"I understand, Grandma."

The old lady paused, and then said, "That northern Xinjiang saint, stay away from her, don't touch her unless necessary."

"Grandmother also knows the Saintess of Northern Xinjiang?" Wei Xingzhi looked up.

The old lady nodded her head angrily, "I have lived to this age, what do I not know, this northern Xinjiang saint, is full of disgusting bugs."
