Mei Niang smiled strangely, and said softly: "Luo Dingxi attacked Shuoquan, you were worried that Shuoquan's troops were not enough, so you sent someone to send a letter to the old man of the Su family, asking the gentry in the city to hand over all the servants and guards to Gongsun Chu, It is said to be preparing for the construction of fortifications, but in fact it is to increase the number of troops defending the city. Those wealthy gentry just sent you a letter and gathered thousands of capable men, you will never forget this."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The old man and his family have strong men, some with dozens of men, and some with a dozen or so men. It is not difficult to select capable men from them."

"These people were later deployed in the city as a reserve force. Although they were useless in the end, those gentry made great efforts." Meiniang said slowly: "You are the king of Qi and you only invited officials from the city to go to the city. Banquet? As far as I know, he also sent someone to invite Mrs. Su and other gentry, but none of the gentry in the city went to the banquet."

"Oh?"

Chu Huan suddenly remembered that when he entered the city today, King Qi greeted him outside the city. Although many officials, big and small, were out of the city, they did not see those Xiguan gentry.

He felt a little strange at the time, because of the seven surnames in Xiguan, the relationship between Chu Huan and the gentry in Xiguan was relatively harmonious on the whole. The seven surnames have always maintained a good relationship with themselves.

According to the logic, even if Mrs. Su was too old to go out of the city to greet him in triumph, he would at least organize some gentry to go there. But today, there are so few gentry, Chu Huan felt strange.

"You send a letter, and they will go all out. Some people send out people, and they have money to get money. However, King Qi sent people to the mansion to treat guests, but no gentry went to the banquet. Could it be that you can't figure out the key point?" Mei Niang asked with a half-smile.

Chu Huan sighed, and said, "You mean that the Xiguan gentry don't even have King Qi in their eyes?"

"It's good if you know." Meiniang grinned, "The gentry in Xiguan didn't go to the banquet. Don't ask yourself if you know it. Of course, the seven surnames in Xiguan were behind it. Those people with the seven surnames in Xiguan didn't go to the banquet. Everyone else looked at their faces. , Naturally, I will not go there."

Chu Huan was thoughtful.

"The Xiguan gentry did this not only because they didn't take King Qi seriously, but also because they wanted you to see their position clearly." Meiniang said softly, "Since you came to the northwest, the seven surnames in Xiguan have taken care of their family's future. Then I hugged you tightly, it is Mrs. Su, why don't I promise my granddaughter to you, a big rascal...!"

Chu Huan coughed and corrected: "First, the marriage between Lin Lang and I was decided by myself, and it was not proposed by the old man. Second, I am a decent person, and I can't afford to be a rascal. Yes, return the original words!"

"You're not a big hooligan, why are you touching other people's ass?" Meiniang said in a tired voice, and suddenly thought of something, raised her brows, and said angrily, "What did you say? Return the original words? You...you said I was a big hooligan ?" Stretching out his hand, pinching Chu Huan's waist, Chu Huan hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'm a big hooligan, so it's okay to say the wrong thing?"

Mei Niang just stopped, but Chu Huan continued: "It's not a hooligan to touch your butt, your butt is big, round and white, smooth and smooth, I'm just enjoying it as a baby... Ouch, you fox, do it!" It's so heavy... Hey, I must have been pinched by you...!"

"You deserve it." Meiniang rolled his eyes at him before continuing: "Anyway, Mrs. Su wanted to betroth his granddaughter to you, but he didn't want to form a relationship with you, the governor, and be stable. The seven surnames in Xiguan belong to the noble family in the northwest, and you come here without any foundation, so why should they help you with all their strength, don’t they want to coexist with your interests and share weal and woe?”

Chu Huan naturally knew these reasons well, he just smiled and didn't speak.

"They put the family's future on you, what do you think they will care about King Qi now?" Meiniang said quietly: "Even if they don't want you to be the emperor, they will definitely let you be the king of the Northwest. Otherwise, why do they want to help with all their strength? If you are loyal to the king of Qi, wait for the king of Qi to send, and think about helping Daqin, do you think those gentry will be willing? Your current foundation is the gentry of Xiguan. The stronger you are, the more powerful you are The stronger they are, the more prosperous the future of the family, and now there is an extra King Qi, who knows what will happen to King Qi after he gains power, at least in their view, you are the defender of their interests, King Qi is not, so if you really follow The so-called king of Qi, I am afraid that the gentry in Xiguan will turn against you first."

Chu Huan's expression became serious.

In fact, what Mei Niang said was very clear in his heart, but he never wanted to think about it. The seven surnames in Xiguan helped him with all their strength. In the end, it was only because he had the power of governor at that time, and the seven surnames in Xiguan must have such a backstage To back up their revival, Chu Huan also needs such a force to help him gain a firm foothold in Xiguan.

Although Chu Huan has always been wary of being controlled by the Xiguan gentry, he not only wins over the Xiguan gentry, but also guards against it. On the economic lifeline of Xinyan, Chu Huan controls it as much as possible in his own hands. In the northwest trade, it is inevitable to have various relationships with the Xiguan gentry, but Chu Huan is wary of the Xiguan gentry controlling the new salt market.

The Xiguan Seven Surnames and Chu Huan both knew in their hearts that the harmony between the two parties was based on what they needed. At present, both parties can get the benefits from each other, so this relationship seems unbreakable. The Xiguan gentry, represented by the seven surnames of Xiguan, has accepted Chu Huan into the Xiguan system. In the eyes of the Xiguan gentry, Chu Huan is their representative, and they stand up to their honor and disgrace. The foundation formed by one's own strength cannot be easily shaken.

Under such circumstances, it is by no means empty words that the two sides share honor and disgrace, but in the eyes of Xiguan people, King Qi is obviously an outsider. Although he is the prince of the empire, under the current situation in the world, it is impossible for Xiguan people to have much respect for this prince. Interest, they wholeheartedly help Chu Huan grow stronger and become their contenders for interests. Of course, they don't want Chu Huan to be controlled by King Qi instead.

In the eyes of Xiguan people, Chu Huan who has integrated into Xiguan is already one of their own, but King Qi is completely different. If Daqin can survive and King Qi gains power, the people of Xiguan are just pawns for the revival of King Qi. They have no sense of belonging to King Qi. It does not belong to the foundation of King Qi. For them, even if King Qi gains power, their interests may not be guaranteed. If the Great Qin does not exist, King Qi will not have any value.

Chu Huan was well aware of this.

"Except for those gentry, what do you think those people under your command will think?" Meiniang said softly, "It's nothing more than others. Those people you raised with your own hands, do you think they want you to obey King Qi's orders? Are they like you?" Life and death, in the final analysis, are all for their own future. In their eyes, they belong to your direct line, and King Qi has nothing to do with them. Even if they want to protect their own interests, they will not easily agree with you to follow Qi. King...!" Youyou sighed, "So, even if you want to follow King Qi, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Xiguan gentry, your trusted aides, these people are now your most solid foundation, but once you obey According to King Qi's order, these people may become your worst enemies."

Chu Huan pondered for a moment. Although he knew that what Mei Niang said was reasonable, he didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the subject and said, "After I went to war, are you really worried about me every day?"

"It's them who are worried, I don't have time to think about you." Meiniang said softly.

Chu Huan laughed, and with a "pop", it lightly hit Meiniang's snow-white buttocks, and that plump and snow-white buttocks trembled slightly, "Duplicity... Let me ask you, if I really can't come back, you What are you going to do?"

"Of course I donated the bedding and left." Mei Niang said with a smile.

"really?"

Mei Niang sighed, and said quietly: "If you are really dead, I... I have already thought about what to do. I will kill all your women first, and then find Zhu Lingyue. If I can kill them, I will count them as yours." I have avenged my revenge, if I can't kill him, I will go down to accompany you and go to assassinate him, no matter if I succeed or fail, I will not survive."

Chu Huan was taken aback, "Kill them?"

"You think I'm joking?" Mei Niang sneered, "Since you're dead, they certainly don't need to live... If they fall into the hands of others, you won't be at peace in the underworld...!" Her body slightly Get up and stare at Chu Huan: "You have to remember, you'd better live in peace for me, otherwise they will all die with you."

Seeing the indescribable sternness in Meiniang's winking eyes, Chu Huan couldn't help feeling a little nervous, knowing that what Meiniang said was probably true, she couldn't help but smile wryly, it seemed that if she wanted to protect her family, she had to live well.

Although Meiniang said that King Qi did not have a good impression, she still let Chu Huan leave after all. Under Meiniang's service, Chu Huan put on clothes and looked at Meiniang's enchanting and fragrant body. At this moment, the sky has darkened, so there is no need to waste time, so we can only give up and come back to have fun again.

When she arrived at Su Niang's room, Su Niang had already prepared hot water. When she saw Chu Huan coming in, she hurriedly said, "The water seems to be cold. I'll let someone change the heat...!" She muttered in a low voice, "I didn't know you would go So long...!" Then his cheeks turned red.

Chu Huan felt amused, closed the door, and said, "I'm going on an expedition, I'm afraid there will be a layer of dirt on my body, you can use a towel to wipe off the dirt on my body later...!"

Su Niang said "Hmm" and came over to help Chu Huan take off her clothes. The old couple naturally had nothing to shy away from. Chu Huan got into the big bathtub naked. Su Niang came over looking for a towel and glanced at Chu Huan's body. Seeing that there were no new scars on Chu Huan's body, he felt relieved, stood by the tub, bent down, and said softly, "Where...where do we start?"

Chu Huan looked over and saw that Su Niang bent over, and the neckline loosened. A pair of fleshy white balls were dazzling inside, and the ditch was bottomless, and his heart skipped a beat. I still have to go to King Qi's side, control myself, and said: "Let's wipe your shoulders first."

Su Niang stood on the side, folded the towel, dipped it in water, and then began to wipe the dirt off Chu Huan's shoulders. She swayed and bent again, and the pair of snow-white plump balls swayed from side to side. Su Niang But he didn't realize it, Chu Huan's throat tightened, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to grab Su Niang's arm. Before Su Niang could react, Chu Huan pulled Su Niang into the tub with all his strength. "Oops!" With a soft cry, the water in the tub splashed and overflowed.
