Xiao Jingsheng sneered: "The sincerity you mentioned naturally refers to the materials on the list?"

Xiao Heng nodded and said: "That's exactly the case. Only in this way, the whole Xiguan can trust our sincerity."

"After all, you are still going to show weakness to Xiguan." Xiao Jingsheng said dissatisfied.

"This is not a sign of weakness, but a strategy." Xiao Huanzhang said angrily, "You have lived a few years longer than Xiao Heng, but your knowledge is not as strong as him." Holding his beard, "Giving supplies to Xiguan can make Xiguan uneasy. As for being hostile to us, more importantly, with these materials, Chu Huan can rest and recuperate to deal with Zhu Lingyue."

Xiao Jingsheng said: "Then father has thought about it. If Xiguan really gave these supplies, even if Xiguan will not be hostile to us, Zhu Lingyue will definitely be dissatisfied with us."

"He has always regarded me as a thorn in his side." Xiao Huanzhang sneered, "On the contrary, we gave Chu Huan supplies. Zhu Lingyue should understand that if Beishan and Xilian really join forces, Zhu Lingyue's wolf ambition may not be able to succeed. He wants To break the situation in the Northwest, we must fight one another. In the chaos of Jinhe and Hezhou, Chu Huan and him are already in the same situation, and there is no possibility of joining forces, so he can only come to win us... At that time, Even if we put forward some conditions, he may not refuse to agree."

Xiao Heng tried his best to advocate joining hands with Xiguan, but it was not because he really had a far-sighted vision, let alone because he had a good impression of Chu Huan. Together, this list is very important, and it also highlights his credit. Once the two parties break up, then everything he has done will be in vain and meaningless.

"Uncle, shall we prepare supplies for them according to the list?"

Xiao Huanzhang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The food is not a big problem, even some of the equipment is not bad, but the horses can't follow their wishes."

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "My nephew also means the same thing. A thousand horses is too much. Even if we can afford it, we still can't agree to it."

"To gather five hundred horses is already our biggest bottom line." Xiao Huanzhang said solemnly: "You should prepare other supplies first, and you will be responsible for them. As for the horses, let me think about it again." It seemed A little tired, he raised his hand and said, "Go down first."

Both Xiao Jingsheng and Xiao Heng stood up, saluted, and then retreated.

After going out the door, Xiao Jingsheng and Xiao Heng walked in the corridor one after the other. After walking for a while, Xiao Jingsheng suddenly stopped and turned around with a rather unkind expression.

Xiao Heng was calm and composed, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Do you have any orders, brother?"

"Xiao Heng, I don't care if you invite favors in front of your father, but if you want to put my Xiao family in trouble, I can't tolerate you." Xiao Jingsheng looked cold and stern.

Xiao Heng smiled wryly and said, "Brother, why did you say that? You are a descendant of the Xiao family, and I am also a descendant of the Xiao family. How could I put the Xiao family in a difficult situation?"

"You know that being an enemy of Zhu Lingyue will put our Xiao family in danger sooner or later." Xiao Jingsheng clenched his fists and said, "If you hadn't made noise in front of father, father might not have become an enemy of Zhu Lingyue."

"Brother, what you said is wrong." Xiao Heng shook his head and said: "Brother, could it be that you still can't see that the world is in chaos now, and the imperial court has no power to intervene in the affairs of the Northwest, and the three ways in the Northwest will sooner or later be like the eighteen kingdoms vying for supremacy. Zhu Lingyue is very ambitious, others don't know his intention, brother, don't you know, that is to dominate the Northwest, whether it is Xiguan or our Beishan, it is his goal."

"Of course I know." Xiao Jingsheng said angrily, "It is precisely because I know this that I have to be cautious. Zhu Lingyue has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient money and food. If we become enemies with him, we will cause disaster sooner or later."

"So what if we're not enemies?" Xiao Heng asked back: "Does the elder brother think that if we show our kindness to Zhu Lingyue, he will treat us kindly?"

Xiao Jingsheng said: "Why not? If he wants to become Xibeiwang, let's let him be. With the strength in his hands, Xibei will still be in his hands sooner or later. Let's build a good relationship with him. It won’t end up with the whole family being punished.”

Xiao Heng sighed: "Brother, why do you want to spoil your prestige with others' ambition? Who will get the Northwest King's seat is yet to be known. Uncle has a long-term vision, is shrewd and wise, so how can he not be the Northwest King?"

Xiao Jingsheng sneered and said, "It is because of your clamor that father has such an idea. The soldiers and horses in our hands are not comparable to Zhu Lingyue, and the combat ability cannot be compared with the Tianshan Army...!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Heng already said: "It is precisely because of this that we have to stir up Xiguan and Tianshan to fight, so that Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue can't fight each other, so we have a great chance."

Xiao Jingsheng looked Xiao Heng up and down, and said calmly: "Xiao Heng, don't forget your identity. You have to understand that although Beishan belongs to the Xiao family, it is not yours."

"Xiao Heng is very clear about this." Xiao Heng said: "But I am a member of the Xiao family, so I have to consider the future of the Xiao family. Brother, after uncle, this Beishan is yours. If uncle becomes king of the Northwest one day, then You are the heir of the Northwest King, everything Xiao Heng did was not only for his uncle, but also for his elder brother...!"

Xiao Jingsheng didn't feel the slightest excitement because of this, and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's a pity that I don't care too much. I'm afraid I won't be able to become the Northwest King at that time, and the head on my head will fall because of you... !" He gave Xiao Heng a vicious look, and walked away without saying a word.

Xiao Heng looked at Xiao Jingsheng's back, with resentment in his eyes, and suddenly heard a voice from beside him saying: "Heng'er, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he has such a personality, some words are not pleasant, don't take it to heart."

Xiao Heng turned his head away, but saw a mature, beautiful and plump woman approaching, with gorgeous clothes and well-dressed, although she was over thirty years old, she was very beautiful, with fair skin and a plump figure, with a black hole in the inner corner of her left eyebrow. A small bright red mole made her already beautiful and mature charm even more charming and enchanting.

"Aunt!" Xiao Heng hurriedly saluted.

Mrs. Xiao smiled softly, gracefully, and said softly: "My family, there is no need to be so polite. My aunt has heard what you said. You are thinking about the future of the Xiao family. Jingsheng will understand sooner or later."

Xiao Heng sighed, and said: "I hope so. Auntie, actually... everything I did was not for myself. Now that the world is approaching chaos, if I can't get on with the adversity, I may die in the good times."

Mrs. Xiao swayed her waist lightly, smelling the fragrance, and said with a charming smile: "It's good that the master knows your hard work. You just came back from Shuoquan. You have worked hard all the way. Go back and rest earlier."

"Thank you, aunt, for your concern." Xiao Heng bowed his body, looking very respectful, with a look of gratitude on his face.

"Hey, it's time for you to marry a daughter-in-law." Mrs. Xiao sighed softly, "It's always better to have a woman take care of you. If you have the heart, then Auntie will find you a suitable girl...!"

"Auntie, I...!" Xiao Heng looked up at Mrs. Xiao, his throat squirmed, he hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you auntie for your concern, this is not urgent, some fate is destined, maybe When the time comes, it will happen naturally.”

Mrs. Xiao's beautiful eyes rolled, she said "Yo", and said with a light smile: "From what you mean, do you have a sweetheart? Come on, tell auntie, which girl is it that Heng'er can fall in love with?"

Xiao Heng blushed slightly, and said softly, "Auntie, this...!"

Mrs. Xiao came closer, blinked her eyes, and said charmingly, "Oh, why are you still blushing? Well, Heng'er likes that girl at all, right? Tell auntie, which girl is it? If it's suitable, auntie will go and talk to you Uncle said, let him decide for you, your uncle has been thinking about getting a marriage for you, and you are not too young, so you can't delay any longer."

"Auntie was joking." Xiao Heng looked at Mrs. Xiao's eager eyes and said softly, "Although my nephew likes her, but...but I don't know what she means...My nephew has long Make up your mind that she will not marry in this life."

"Oh?" Mrs. Xiao smiled lightly, "Does she know what you mean?"

Xiao Heng sighed softly, "One didn't speak to her."

"Why is that?" Mrs. Xiao blinked, and Chunchun taught: "Heng'er, if you really like her, just tell her. If you don't tell her, how will you know that the girl doesn't like you? Wouldn't that delay yourself? .”

Xiao Heng said: "Auntie said yes, then my nephew will find an opportunity to tell her...!"

Mrs. Xiao smiled coquettishly, and said softly: "That's right, this matter must not be let the girl take the initiative. You are a big man, so you should talk about it first... That's right, you haven't told your aunt yet, what is it? The girl at home?"

Xiao Heng leaned close to Mrs. Xiao's ear and said softly, "Don't worry, Auntie, you will always know."

"Hey, you're still playing tricks with your aunt." Mrs. Xiao giggled, showing off all her beauty, her breasts trembling, "Okay, my aunt won't force you, by the way, Heng'er, do you know which temple in our northern mountain has the most spiritual Bodhisattva? "

Xiao Heng was startled, and wondered, "Auntie wants to worship Buddha?"

"Hey...!" Mrs. Xiao sighed quietly: "Recently, I have been feeling uneasy, always feeling that something is going to happen...!" Xiumei frowned slightly, her mature and beautiful pink face was full of worry , "I want to go to a efficacious temple and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless my master and my wife...!"

Xiao Heng thought for a while, and then said: "The biggest temple in our Beishan should be the Gushui Temple in Qingzhou, but the road is not close, and it takes seven or eight days to go back and forth. Effective...!"

Mrs. Xiao said "Oh" and said with a smile: "That's good, it's not far away, as long as it works."

"If my aunt is going to worship Buddha, my nephew will make arrangements in advance." Xiao Heng said hastily: "There are many pilgrims in the Gushui Temple, and there are many rogues in Qingzhou, so you must be careful. If your aunt goes, my nephew will send someone first Let's prepare over there, lest there will be too many people at the time, making it difficult to worship Buddha with peace of mind."

Mrs. Xiao thought for a while, nodded her head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll tell your uncle first, after a while, I'll go to Gushui Temple to worship Buddha and pray for peace." She smiled softly, and said: "When the time comes You have to work hard."

Xiao Heng's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "Aunt, you're being polite. My nephew can do some small things for my aunt. It's too late to be happy, so why bother?"
