Wei Fan closed the door, then returned to Mei Long, and said in a low voice: "Mei Du, Xuanyuan Shao is probably out of his mind."

"Innocent intentions?" Mei Long raised his head, "What do you mean?"

"As far as I know, Xuanyuan Shao is a taciturn person, but these days, he seems to be provoking Meidu everywhere." Wei Fan lowered his voice: "This time without prior consent from Meidu, Xuanyuan Shao dared to send a Someone transferred Wen Pu here, Mei Du, he said that the Guards disdain to suppress bandits, in the eyes of the subordinates, I am afraid that it is not for the face of the Guards, but because they want to transfer Wen Pu's soldiers and horses at all costs. Come to Zhengcheng."

"How can I not know what he's thinking?" Mei Long clenched his fists and said unwillingly, "Before the Guards arrived here, he's already yelling and drinking, treating Hujin as his territory. If Wenpu really arrives, I'm afraid The governor of Hujin can only be at his mercy."

Wei Fan thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Mei Du, I dare to guess, you said... Where is the Holy One now... Where is the Holy One now?"

"Xuanyuan Shao said that the Holy Spirit has important things to do, and he will arrive soon." Mei Long said, "If he went where, he didn't tell."

Wei Fan chuckled and said, "At such a critical moment, what kind of important matter does the Holy Majesty have to leave the guards behind and leave alone?"

"What do you mean by that?" Mei Long heard something in Wei Fan's words.

Wei Fan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mei Du, I think that the Holy Majesty...has the Holy Majesty died? Xuanyuan Shao is just pretending to be a tiger, using the title of the Holy Majesty, using the guards to take Mei Du instead?"

"You can't talk nonsense." Mei Long lowered her face, "The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, protected by the gods, how could something unexpected happen?"

Wei Fan sighed softly: "The lower official also hopes that the Holy Majesty can come to Hujin and lead everyone to recover Daqin and make a comeback, but...!" Shaking his head with a bitter smile, he said: "The lower official has followed Mei Du for many years, thanks to Mei Du Xiaguan treats each other as brothers, at this time, if Xiaguan hides his doubts and doesn't say anything, he will feel sorry for Meidu...!"

Mei Long's expression softened, and he said, "Lao Wei, you are my life and death brother, if you speak frankly, I will naturally understand."

"Mei Du, Hexi has been lost. Great Qin is gone. Mei Du has Great Qin in his heart. This Great Qin still has the last piece of land in Hujin. Otherwise, Qin would have died in both name and reality." Wei Fan frowned and said, "Xuanyuan Shao said The Holy Majesty wants to take Hujin as the foundation and prepare for a comeback, but you and I both know that there is only one Hujin, even if Hexi is in hand, Qin may not be able to recover, whether it is the Liaodong Army, the Northwest Army, or even the Hebei Army. Head, we...hey, none of us can catch up."

Mei Longjin frowned, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"The only thing I'm worried about is that the Holy Majesty is no longer here, and the Great Qin has fallen, yet some people still use the name of the Holy Majesty and the Great Qin to make trouble in Hujin." Wei Fan looked serious, "Xuanyuan Shao has no respect for Governor Mei. In this way, if Wen Pu really comes and he controls the overall situation, the lower officials are worried that he will be unfavorable to Mei Du."

"He dares!" Mei Long said coldly: "Old Wei, I also know in my heart that relying solely on Hujin to revive the Qin Kingdom is undoubtedly a dream, but if this is the case, why does Xuanyuan Shao keep his eyes on our Hujin? What is the purpose of your trying to control Hujin and replace it with Bendu?"

Wei Fan said: "Mei Du, you are really smart and confused for a while, what is he going to do, you really don't understand?"

Mei Long shook his head and said, "I really don't understand. You mean that he is loyal to Great Qin and wants to stick to Hujin until the end? If that's true, then he should work together with the Governor."

"The Xuanyuan family is a big family." Wei Fan sneered and said, "When the Great Qin Dynasty fell, wouldn't Xuanyuan Shao consider his family? Governor Mei should know that Xuanyuan Shao has a younger brother named... um, next time The official can't remember for a while...!"

"Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Mei Long immediately said, "He is at Chu Huan's feet. This person seems to have Chu Huan's trust, and he is also an important figure in the Northwest Army."

Wei Fan immediately said: "Yes, this is the person. It is said that the Xuanyuan family is loyal to Daqin, but Xuanyuan Sheng is the direct descendant of the Xuanyuan family. Didn't he just join Chu Huan's command? Only then can Xuanyuan Sheng consider his own future." Can Xuanyuan Shao not?" Sneered, "It's just that although Xuanyuan Sheng betrayed Da Qin, he did things straightforwardly, and his statement is far from being comparable to Xuanyuan Shao. Xuanyuan Sheng betrayed Qin, so not many people may scold him, but Xuanyuan If Shao joins the enemy, his reputation will surely be disgraced and notorious."

Mei Long nodded and said: "What you said is quite reasonable. Xuanyuan Shao has been favored by two generations of emperors and has been appointed as the commander of the guards. Even if everyone in the world can rebel, he Xuanyuan Shao can't."

"So even if Xuanyuan Shao wants to surrender, he still has to feel compelled." Wei Fan said, "Xuanyuan Shao came to Hujin probably for this reason."

Mei Long frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

"Because of Mei Du's guards, Hujin can be regarded as the last piece of Daqin's territory." Wei Fan said: "Xuanyuan Shao retreated to Hujin, in the eyes of the people in the world, there is no way out."

Mei Long nodded and said, "That's the truth."

"If he guards Hujin and pretends to resist desperately, in the end, even if he really surrenders, the people in the world will not talk about him anymore." Wei Fan sneered: "On the contrary, it is because he is from the Qin State. The last army to resist, the people of the world will admire his loyalty."

Mei Long suddenly realized, and clapped his hands and said: "One word awakened the dreamer, Lao Wei, if you hadn't reminded me, I really couldn't figure out the key to this. You are right, if you replace Ben Du, he will He became the last person to defend Qin, and if he was about to surrender to the end, people in the world would only say that he was forced to do so, and would not say that he was a traitor begging for glory..." He snorted coldly, "Really! To fight the enemy, he naturally sent the Hujin Army to the front line. His guards may not really fight to the death. In the end, not only can he protect his reputation, but he also has thousands of guards in his hands. There is also the capital to negotiate with the enemy."

Wei Fan said: "If the lower official's guess is correct, Xuanyuan Shao really has this intention, Mei Du thinks this person will let us go? He won't do anything now, it's just that the time has not come, Mei Du has been blocking Wen Pu from leading the army Come here, now Xuanyuan Shao can't wait, even didn't wait for Mei Du's consent at all, and wants Wen Pu to lead his troops here, this...!" Having said this, he shook his head with a worried look on his face.

Mei Long stroked his beard, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.

"Mei Du, you serve the country faithfully, and I admire you." Wei Fan leaned forward and said in a low voice, "But if you didn't fight for Qin, but... were destroyed by Xuanyuan Shao, Xuanyuan For the sake of his own reputation, Shao will definitely damage Mei Du's reputation, if this is the case, even if he is dismissed as an official, he will die, and it will be difficult to rest in peace."

Mei Long stared at Wei Fan, pondered for a moment, and finally said with a sneer: "Scheming, scheming!" Standing up abruptly, she went over and drew out her own knife.

Seeing this, Wei Fan hurriedly said: "Mei Du, don't be impulsive...!" Before he finished speaking, the knife flashed, and the knife in Mei Long's hand was already on Wei Fan's neck.

Wei Fan's expression changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Mei Du, you... are you?"

"Wei Fan, you have followed this governor for many years, and this governor will let you die." The big knife in Mei Long's hand pressed against Wei Fan's neck, and the cold blade stuck to Wei Fan's neck. His throat will inevitably be cut, "You have been talking here for a long time, and you really think that the governor will let you talk like a lot of flowers and instigate it?"

"Mei Du, my officer...!"

"Great Qin is in danger, it's time for everyone to be united." Mei Long sneered and said, "Although the governor and Commander Xuanyuan have different personalities, they are both loyal ministers of the Great Qin and vow to defend the Great Qin to the death. How can you allow us to sow discord here? Wei Fan, This governor knows your temperament very well. You are greedy for property. You have been in charge of the household department all these years. How much money have you made from it? This governor is looking at you for the sake of his old brother, so he turned a blind eye to you. Just one eye. I didn't expect you to get worse, and now you dare to sow discord, you are a person who has nothing to gain, if you don't satisfy your appetite, how can you easily say these words today?"

Wei Fan's face turned pale, "Mei Du, the words from the bottom of my heart are really...!"

"Shut up!" Mei Long said with a stern expression, "You must have taken other people's property, so you are talking nonsense in front of Ben Du. Tell Ben Du, who bought you?"

Wei Fan said in a trembling voice: "Mei Du, the lower officials are all thinking of you, don't get me wrong, Hujin can't keep it at all, not to mention Xuanyuan Shao has ulterior motives, even if he really has one heart with Mei Du, Hujin also......!"

"Who is it?" Mei Long yelled, "If you don't do it, I will kill you!"

Wei Fan looked terrified, he never expected Mei Long to react like this, he said helplessly: "Yes...the person sent by Chu Huan...!" He hurriedly said: "Mei Du, come down The official did accept the gift, but Chu Huan's things are not for nothing, and what I said today was definitely not for Chu Huan, but for Mei Du's sincerity." With a wry smile: "Mei Du You are right, Wei Fan is indeed greedy for money, but he is not a person who does not understand loyalty. Over the years, Mei Du has taken care of the subordinates, and the subordinates are not grass stones, how can they not know? It is because of Mei Du's kindness And friendship, Xiaguan only said these words today."

Mei Long sneered, "Where is Chu Huan's envoy now?"

Wei Fan said: "This...!"

Mei Long's eyes widened, Wei Fan said helplessly: "Now I'm in Zhengcheng, living in the inn...!"

Mei Long said in a deep voice, "Chu Huan really sent someone here?"

"Your official...I dare not lie." Wei Fan felt the coldness of the cold knife, and his body trembled slightly.

Only then did Mei Long put away the knife, walked over, put the big knife back into the scabbard, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, one in each hand, walked over, handed a cup to Wei Fan, Wei Fan was stunned , but didn't dare to hesitate, and hastily took it, Mei Long walked back to the chair, took a sip, put down the teacup, glanced at Wei Fan, saw Wei Fan standing there holding the teacup in both hands, but He laughed and said, "What are you doing standing there, come and talk!"

Wei Fan really didn't know what Mei Long was thinking, so he walked over with some fear, Mei Long pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit!"

After Wei Fan sat down, Mei Long pondered for a while before saying: "Chu Huan's envoy is here, so naturally no one else will know?"

"Your Majesty, I promise that no one else will know." Wei Fan listened to what he said, and instantly understood, put down the teacup in his hand, and approached him: "Mei Du, Chu Huan is worried about sending someone to look for you directly. Later, people would find out, so I let Xiaguan talk to Meidu first. It's just that Xiaguan didn't do what they said. Xiaguan took their money, but what Meidu said was all From the bottom of my heart." Leaning close to Mei Long's ear, he lowered his voice and said, "Chu Huan's envoy told the lower officials that the Holy Majesty has passed away!"

Mei Long's body was shocked, and his face changed: "Really... really died?"

"There should be no fakes." Wei Fan whispered: "I heard that the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has also entered the hands of Chu Huan. Mei Du still remembers that Chu Huan robbed the queen from Hexi before, and it is said that the queen was put under house arrest by Chu Huan In Tongzhou, the Holy Majesty went to Tongzhou to rescue him alone, but...he died in Tongzhou. At this moment, not many people know about it."

Mei Long stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "If the news is true, and Chu Huan has someone bring it here, it can be regarded as a bit of sincerity."

"If the Holy Majesty dies, the Qin Kingdom will cease to exist." Wei Fan said, "Xuanyuan Shao is incomparable to Mei Du in terms of military exploits and seniority, but this man looks superior, Mei Du, the next official." What I said just now is definitely not groundless, I am afraid that this person really wants to replace Mei Du, and use Hujin as the basis for negotiating with others in the future."

Mei Long frowned and said, "Wen Pu is Xuanyuan Shao's subordinate. He has several thousand soldiers in his hands. Most of our soldiers are now on the southern front. If we really turn our backs, we may not be Xuanyuan Shao's opponents." After thinking about it After a while, he said: "You go back now and contact Chu Huan's emissary first. The governor will go to your mansion to drink tonight, so you can get a feel for Chu Huan's bottom. You must keep it secret at this time, and Xuanyuan Shao must not let it know. Among Xuanyuan Shao's hundreds of people, there is Shenyiwei among them, we must not take it lightly!"

Wei Fan said in a low voice: "Chu Huan's envoys are not prepared to contact Mei Du directly, they may not dare to meet Mei Du!"

"If Chu Huan was really smart, he wouldn't just make one choice." Mei Long said, "He must have made preparations for the governor to meet the envoy. If he didn't even have this preparation, Chu Huan would be nothing more than that."

Wei Fan laughed and said, "What Du Mei said is true, I'll arrange it right away."

Mei Long raised his hand and patted Wei Fan's shoulder lightly, saying: "Old Wei, don't blame Ben Du for what happened just now, you are also confused, how can you hide such a big matter from Ben Du?"

Wei Fan felt chills in his heart, knowing that Mei Long seemed to be low-key, but he was an extremely shrewd person, so he forced a smile with awe and said: "It's the fault of the lower officials, Mei Du should not blame him!"
