Yinxiang didn't dare to speak anymore, she just lowered her head, she put all the residues in her coarse cloth skirt, and was about to get up, when she heard Xiao Heng sighed, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Heng, seeing Xiao Heng's face was full of sadness , the little maid hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Master, you... what are you unhappy about?"

Xiao Heng smiled wryly, and said, "Yinxiang, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I came here this time to discuss something with Governor Chu. After seeing you today, I plan to go back to Beishan earlier, and then I will send someone over Propose marriage to Governor Chu...!"

Yinxiang was shy and nervous: "My lord, you...you propose marriage to the master?"

"I, Xiao Heng, have always been straightforward in speaking and doing things." Xiao Heng said seriously: "Since I want to marry you as my wife, I don't care how difficult it is. I will carry a big sedan chair to welcome you in a beautiful manner Go through the door...!" Then he looked anxious: "But Shuoquan's business can't be finished, but he can't leave, this... this is what to do!"

Yinxiang hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Xiao...Young Master Xiao, do you have something important to do with the master? Master... The master is discussing important matters with several officials. They... they seem to be arguing with you... The matter of your Beishan...!"

Xiao Heng's eyes twitched, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile, "Chu Du is talking about Beishan?"

Yinxiang nodded and said, "Those officials got into a quarrel because of Beishan...!"

"Oh?" Xiao Heng's heart tightened, but he asked with a look of interest: "They quarreled about Beishan? What's the reason?"

"I...!" Yinxiang hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I don't know, Mr. Xiao, wait a moment, slave... slave will leave first." The little maid hurried out, Xiao Heng had already got up, Following a few steps behind, the little maid came to the door, turned her head to look at it, her face was flushed, seeing Xiao Heng was also looking at her, she turned her head hastily, and walked away. [

"Yinxiang, I'm at Xinglong Inn...!" Xiao Heng chased to the door, but saw Yinxiang's figure had already run across the corridor and turned to another corridor.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Heng's mouth, and then he frowned. He took out a red handkerchief from his pocket, walked slowly into the house, carefully held the red handkerchief in his hand, entered the house, and sniffed it. Sniff, with an intoxicated look on his face, he whispered to himself: "It's been so long, and there is still a lingering fragrance... how soft and fragrant your body is...how can I see other women in my eyes, only you, only you You, in my heart day and night...you know, I want to hold you in my arms, press you down day and night, I want to kiss you...kiss you...!" He stroked the red handkerchief, as if Touching the woman's skin, a small handkerchief seemed to make him fall into a dream in an instant. At this moment, he heard a faint sound of quarreling. The sound seemed to be faint, but the courtyard was extremely quiet. Hearing it, he hurriedly put away the red handkerchief carefully, and listened carefully, the voice seemed to be coming from nearby.

Xiao Heng rolled his eyes, then went out the door, looked around to confirm the person, and then softly followed the sound. Xiao Heng had inquired about it. Although the Xiguan Governor's Mansion is huge, the servants in the mansion, But there are not many. For other governors, there would be hundreds of family members and servants. However, only this Xiguan Governor's Mansion is said to add up to only a few dozen people.

Such a large mansion, with scattered courtyards, many houses, and winding corridors, those who are not familiar with the environment may even get lost in the mansion. Such a large mansion, with dozens of people, naturally looks abnormally deserted.

Turning around a corridor, the sound of quarreling became clearer. Walking outside a courtyard wall, Xiao Heng had already heard the sound coming from the courtyard. He walked around to the main entrance and saw soldiers guarding the courtyard gate. He dared to approach, hesitated for a moment, walked around to the back of the courtyard, saw people around, rolled up his sleeves, and climbed up the courtyard wall, this is the inner wall of the mansion, so it is not high, Xiao Heng's skill is also neat, climbed into the courtyard , I heard clearly that the sound of quarreling was coming from a house with all the doors closed.

The people in the house obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to climb over the wall in the Governor's Mansion, so the voices of the quarrel had no scruples. Xiao Heng saw that there was a row of flower beds behind the house, and immediately hid in the middle of the flower beds, sticking to the bottom of the wall, Listen with bated breath.

He was a little surprised, how could there be a quarrel when the governor's mansion was discussing important matters, and according to Yinxiang, it seemed to be because of Beishan's affairs.

"Chu Du, even if we don't mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jinhe Erzhou, the strength in our hands is not inferior to Beishan." A rough voice said: "Xiao Huanzhang wants to take advantage of others, if we don't give him some Looking at the color, he thought that Xiguan is easy to bully, and he will definitely make more progress in the future."

Xiao Heng's heart sank.

"Chu Governor, absolutely not." A voice advised: "Although Xiao Huanzhang and Chen Bing border, after all, they have not stepped into our Xiguan territory. They are all officials. If we use troops against Beishan, how can we explain to the court?"

"It's not that he didn't come, but he didn't dare." The gruff voice immediately retorted: "If we fail to conquer Jin He, do you dare to say that Xiao Huanzhang won't take advantage of it? At that time, do you think the court will have the power to manage him? It is because Xiao Huanzhang knows that the imperial court is meddling in Northwest affairs that he has such wolfish ambitions... Now that we have won, naturally we cannot let him go."

"That's right!" Another voice said, "Chu Du, Xiao Huanzhang's inhumane stabbing in the back, we must not let it go. General Xuanyuan is in Jiazhou, let's mobilize our troops secretly... It doesn't mean that Xiao Huanzhang's nephew has arrived Shuoquan? Let's confuse him and show him intentional favor so that he will be less defensive. After he returns, Xiao Huanzhang thinks that we won't take any action and will be lax and slack. Bei took Qingzhou first, then went straight to Xinzhou, and arrested Xiao Huanzhang, that bastard, when the time comes, none of his family will be left...!"

Xiao Heng, who was hiding under the wall, was terrified and his back was covered in cold sweat. He thought to himself that the risk today was really worth it, otherwise it would be impossible for him to know that Xiguan had prepared such a sinister plan.

"Even if the imperial court spares no effort to take care of it, so what? Let's send troops rashly, and the division is famous, how will we fight this battle?"

"Who says the teacher is famous?" Someone sneered: "Isn't Xiao Huanzhang's Beishan Army on our border? That's easy to do. Send someone to pretend to be a small Beishan Army and rob a village or two. As long as one person is killed or injured , we have an excuse to send troops to attack Beishan.”[

Xiao Heng couldn't help scolding "Despicable" in his heart, thinking that Chu Huan was surrounded by such a group of insidious and cunning people. In order to attack Beishan to become famous, he even used the despicable means of framing Beishan. But he forgot that he was working for Xiao Huanzhang, and the method of framing him was also very good.

At this moment, I heard a familiar voice say: "This is a good idea!"

Although Xiao Heng has only met Chu Huan once, he is a very observant person. He knows Chu Huan's position in the northwest, and he has carefully observed Chu Huan's behavior and expression at that time, and he still remembers Chu Huan's voice. .

He judged immediately that the one who said this was definitely Chu Huan.

It's just that this sentence made Xiao Heng's heart skip a beat. Hearing what Chu Huan meant, he praised the method of framing him as a good idea. Does that mean that Chu Huan also had plans to attack Beishan?

Xiao Heng is very clear that although the three northwest territories are still the territory of the empire, if something really happened in the northwest land, half a year ago, the empire might still have the power to intervene. But Chaowai had to deal with King Qingtian and Tianmen Dao. His Majesty the Emperor's fascination with Taoism had not diminished at all, and the imperial court had no ability to actually intervene in the affairs of the Northwest.

If Xiguan really wanted to send troops to attack Beishan, it would be bad news for Beishan.

He was glad that when he heard such an important secret of Xiguan, he was even more worried about what Xiguan's plan was going to be next. He held his breath, only to hear one of them say: "This plan is very good. As long as people are killed or injured, we can say Xiao Huanzhang sent troops to invade the territory of Xiguan. He is very ambitious and has the heart of rebellion. When the time comes, it will be like dealing with Jinhe Erzhou. Let's go and kill Xiao Huanzhang's rebel. By the way, his family members will also be killed. Don't let it go, um, didn't Xiao Huanzhang's nephew come over this time? Chu Du, do you want to chop off that kid's head to sacrifice the flag first?"

Xiao Heng's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body turned cold. He knew that the trip to Shuoquan was very dangerous, but he still had luck in his heart. He only felt that Chu Huan was not a foolish person, and he should not easily kill court officials, even though they were only Beishan officials. An official of the department, but at any rate an official.

"Kill him, how to confuse Xiao Huanzhang?" Immediately someone objected: "This person can't be killed yet, we have to use him to let Xiao Huanzhang relax his guard, wait until we break through Xinzhou and capture Xiao Huanzhang, then we will kill that boy together It's not too late for your brain."

"That's right." Another human said: "It's just that if we really want to send troops to attack Beishan, with our strength, can we really be sure of winning? Don't forget that Beishan has never been occupied by Xiliang people, and there is no shortage of supplies. At least food is better than that." We have more than enough."

"I don't think it's a big problem." The gruff voice said: "Although Xiao Huanzhang has already expanded his army and has a lot of troops, the soldiers under him are all local troops. We have the Pingxi Army, and there are many in the Pingxi Army. They were all from the Imperial Guard Army and State Army of Xiguan, and even some soldiers who belonged to the Northwest Army. These people all survived the bloody battle with the people of Xiliang. Sandao, the fighting power of the Pingxi Army is unquestionable. Compared with Xiao Huanzhang's wine bag and rice bag, there is a world of difference. If you don't fight, it will be nothing. There are not as many as them, but it doesn't matter, if there is no food, we will have it when we hit Beishan."

A clear voice said: "That's right. When we attacked suddenly, the Beishan people were completely unprepared and took the brunt of taking Qingzhou. There are many gentry and wealthy families in Qingzhou. They have food in their families. When we take Qingzhou, they have not yet When I came back to my senses, I didn't evacuate at all, and the food in Qingzhou would be enough to supply our army!"

Xiao Heng clenched his fists, his face was pale, and he thought to himself: "You are really sinister and vicious, God has eyes, fortunately you were heard by me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." I am very lucky, thinking that it is very dangerous to stay at the bottom of this wall, If someone found out, Chu Huan would definitely kill someone to silence him when he saw that he had eavesdropped on the important military situation. He wanted to leave secretly, but he also wanted to know what the outcome of their negotiation was. He hesitated again and again, but still had some courage, and quietly Hold your breath and eavesdrop.
