Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 287 Maximum Interest

After closing the door gently, Xia Xun let out a long breath, only to feel his back was cold and soaked in sweat.Whether he can convince Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao, he is definitely not sure. He doesn't know much about what happened after Zhu Dijing raised his troops, and everything in the future can only depend on himself.

"You are very good. If you think it is right, you will firmly support it, even if...he has almost no hope of success. Although you are sometimes cunning, you are very clear in front of righteousness. I admire you very much!"

Xu Ming'er said seriously to Xia Xun. It could be seen that the admiration on the little girl's face came from the heart.

Xia Xun sat down on the edge of the kang, collected himself, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, they will come to pick up the princess. I can rest assured that I will be escorted by them, but... before I leave, I have a few words Tell the princess."

Xu Ming'er also sat down by the window, tilting her head to look at him, her pair of beautiful eyelashes flickering: "Say it!"

Xia Xun's expression became serious: "I know, the third brother of the princess... Chief Governor Xu, sympathizes with what happened to King Yan, and doesn't want the elder sister and elder brother-in-law to encounter any accidents. He often secretly informed Yu Yan about any news in the court. king……"

Xu Ming'er only thought that Xia Xun had really become King Yan's confidant, and it was not surprising that he knew these things, so she just nodded and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Xia Xun said: "Now, the King of Yan has formally set up the banner of King Jing Nanqing, and is regarded as a rebellion by the court. If there is any news from the governor, I don't know if he will continue..."

Xu Ming'er suddenly said: "You want me to persuade third brother to continue to pass on information to elder brother-in-law? I can't promise you this matter. Eldest brother-in-law was forced into this field. I also sympathize with him and want to help him very much. But we are not just ourselves, our surname is Xu, we bear the imprint of the Xu family, the elder brother represents the Zhongshan Palace, he stands on the side of the emperor, the only thing I can do is not to help each other. As for the third brother, he does What choice he makes is his business, I can't let my third brother take such a risk just because he loves me."

Xia Xun said happily: "The princess sees it so clearly, that would be great. I said this to the princess not to persuade the governor to continue helping His Highness King Yan, but to You remind him that he is in the imperial court and in Nanjing. If he continues to provide news to His Royal Highness King Yan, it will be tantamount to treason by the imperial court. Once the emperor finds out, he may be killed for him, so the princess had better persuade him Stand by and watch, ignore the housework of this pair of uncles and nephews, live in a dangerous place and do dangerous things, the consequences will be worrisome."

Xu Ming'er was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I will bring what you said."

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "No, the princess is not talking, but trying to persuade the governor, otherwise...you will be killed!"

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Ming'er couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Is this... what my eldest brother-in-law meant?"

Xia Xun shook his head: "No, I have received several favors from the governor and the little princess, and I am very grateful for the character of the governor. I don't want any accidents to the governor. This is my personal suggestion. However, the princess must Don't be careless just because these words come from the mouth of your subordinates, it is about the life and death of the governor, please be very careful."

Xu Ming'er became serious: "I understand! I will tell third brother what's good or bad."

Xia Xun got up and said: "That's good, that's right, Xie Yuanwai's family is stuck here today, in a dilemma, I hope the princess can help them, because it is not easy for them to take care of the princess with all their heart because of what I said next. It's not appropriate to come forward, so I have to ask the Princess to repay the favor."

Xu Ming'er said sweetly: "How can it be said that you owe me a favor? The Xie family has kindness to me, and I should know how to repay it!"

Xia Xun also smiled: "Then...it's getting late, princess, please rest, and I will take my leave now."

Xia Xun turned back and walked towards the door. Xu Ming'er stared at his back and suddenly called out, "Yang Xu!"

"Huh?" Xia Xun turned her head and raised her eyebrows.

, asked softly: "We...will we meet again?"

Xia Xun was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "If I don't die, I will definitely meet again."

Princess Xiao said: "Then, you don't want to die! Anyway, the dead can be brought alive by you..." After speaking, she couldn't help but hua.

Xia Xun made a long bow, and said solemnly: "I obey!"

In the tent, Xia Xun and Su Ying sat cross-legged, with only a small lamp in between. Xia Xun told the story of going to find the princess Xiao tonight, accidentally bumping into Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao, and Su Ying Xi said: "Can you say that it is a great achievement to surrender two generals from the imperial court? Now, with the help of Gu Cheng and Zhang Baozhi, do you want to vote for King Yan?"

Xia Xun shook his head and said: "No! Originally, I wanted to wait until the two armies were on the battlefield, and then get away and join King Yan. However, a great opportunity is in front of me. If I leave like this, King Yan will be grateful for my kindness. They won't be reused by me either. How can a fool do anything?"

Su Yingqi said: "What's wrong with leaving now? You can persuade the two generals to join King Yan, isn't that enough?"

"not enough!"

Xia Xun stood up and pointed: "First, they didn't kill me today because they were moved by what I said for a while, and at the same time they also wanted to leave a way out for themselves. Not firm, maybe go back to sleep and change your mind. If I stay here calmly, it will form a strong hint to them: we have the overall situation in our hands, and we are confident, so that they can be at ease, otherwise , I just made an oath today, denounced Hui Qiu, and will run away tomorrow morning, how can you be sure that they will not feel remorse?"

Su Ying blinked and said, "What about the second one?"

"second!"

Xia Xun raised his finger again: "I ran to ask the King of Yan for credit, saying that I convinced the two generals of the court, and Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao never regretted it. If they really voted according to the agreement, it would really boost the morale of the King of Yan. The problem is that Gu Cheng is only the commander of the rear army, and he is only under the command of Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen, and not all the generals under him are willing to follow him. How many people can he take away? Even if he takes them all away, can he Change the situation of Geng Qiang and Yan Wei? Why not use them and play a greater role at critical moments?"

"And the third?"

"third!"

Xia Xun raised another finger and talked eloquently.Outside the tent, Fatty Lin was squatting far away in front of a tent, looking at the three fingers as thick as bang mallets reflected by the light on the tent of the young couple, he thought to himself: "Could it be that Maqiao's words are wrong?" , can I only use my fingers to make Mrs. Cui happy?" Thinking of the wretched place, I can't help but get distracted.

"So, I'll stay here for the sake of Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao's heart. Please go to King Yan's camp to inform Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao of the news of their betrayal, and ask King Yan to draw up a detailed plan so that they can survive at the critical moment." play a big role."

Su Ying worriedly said to Xia Xun: "In this way, will you be too dangerous?"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "I chose Yan Wang, which is extremely dangerous. The more successful he is, the less dangerous I am, isn't it?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"What! Yang Xu is still alive? He...convinced Gu Cheng and Zhang Bao to vote for me?"

Yan Wang Zhu Di said to Su Ying in surprise and joy.

A few guards behind King Yan are setting up the large tent of the Chinese army, and there are soldiers and horses walking around, people shouting and neighing, and the noise is very loud. It's just that the army has just arrived at the station, some set up camps and tents, some dug trenches, and some set up outposts to stand guard, so it looks a bit hustle and bustle. In his eyes, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Although the current Shuangyu Island has lost its traditions and is almost a complete pirate, but when her father was the leader, he still led his subordinates according to the military rules. In Su Ying's impression, her father's When the military discipline of the army was the strictest, it was far inferior to the generals under King Yan, and every move they made had a sense of austerity.

King Yan had just arrived in Sanglou at this moment, and he was determined to fight head-to-head with Geng Bingwen, so he mobilized his troops to go straight to Zhuozhou. The reinforcement of the city wall and the deepening and expansion of the city river were very lively, and they still swore in front of the gentry in the whole city that once the king of Yan invaded the south, he would die with the city.

As a result, Zhu Di really came, but his army hadn't arrived yet, just a few scouts strolled around the city for a few times, the magistrate ordered Hu Luan to shoot some arrows, and then fled with the seal in his hands.

Zhu Di did not stay in Zhuozhou. After collecting all the money and food stored in the government treasury in Zhuozhou, he rushed to Sanglou without stopping. , reported the great news to him.

After Zhu Di asked Su Ying about the process, he asked someone to take her down to rest, and then immediately summoned Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other confidant generals to discuss matters in the Chinese army tent that had just been set up.

Zhu Neng is a seasoned and prudent general, unlike young men like Zhang Yu who are usually overjoyed when they hear the news. He thought for a moment and reminded: "Your Highness, is the news reliable? Could it be a trick of the court?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "No, Xu'er has met this Miss Su, and recognizes her appearance."

Zhu Neng frowned slightly, and said: "I have heard about how the prince and the others escaped. This girl Su stayed alone at that time and went to find Yang Xu. Then... is it possible that they all fell into the hands of the court... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu laughed dumbfoundedly: "Uncle Zhu is too careful. Yang Xu saved my three brothers and left. What a crime it is. If he was really captured by the court, the emperor would have chopped off his body a long time ago." Boss, will you wait until today to allow him to commit crimes and meritorious deeds? The imperial court thinks it has the upper hand, and puts on such a battle, how can it be unnecessary?"

Zhu Di glanced at his son approvingly, and said, "That's right! What Xu Er said is reasonable. If the emperor had done his best, I, Zhu Di, would not be standing here today. Miss Su's words are not false, there is no doubt about it."

Zhu Neng nodded and said: "In this way, there is no doubt. Before the two armies fought, the enemy army came to surrender first. This is the blessing of His Highness. We are more confident of eating the Yang Song Department of Xiong County. This battle There must be some changes.”

"It's more than that!"

Zhu Di smiled, but there was a murderous look in his eyes: "If I, Zhu Di, can't make good use of this opportunity, it will be a waste of Yang Xu's hard work!"

He clenched his fists, punched hard at the location of Zhending City on the map, and said in a deep voice: "This time, I will not only eat up Yang Song's [-] soldiers and horses, but also make Old General Geng take back his fist." , don’t dare to go any further!”
