Chapter 509 512 Looks
Shen Mu smiled and said: "The most touching part of life is that no one can predict what will happen in the next moment, what changes will happen? Like our current situation, how will Xie Hui deal with us after entering the city, or simply refuse us to enter the city? It's fun to think about."
Xu Ziling sighed: "You are getting bolder and bolder. Are you overconfident? With the current situation, we entered the city like this, forcing Xie Hui to kill us at all costs. Otherwise, what would his prestige be?"
Shen Mu disagreed and said: "Xie Hui has been in the rivers and lakes in the end, and there is a saying: two countries are fighting each other, don't kill them. At least Xie Hui will meet with us and listen to what we have to say." Then he smiled wryly. He said: "If it weren't for Yuzhi's love, I would never take risks in the city, so if there is a chance, I will fight for it, and I hope I only need to talk and not use hands."
Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "For the same reason, I accompany you to be the fool who sent two fat sheep to the tiger's mouth. But I am still worried that if one is bad, it will immediately trigger a civil war between Xie Hui and the four major clans."
Shen Mu shrugged and said: "Xie Hui should not be such a stupid person, so danger and opportunity coexist, and it depends on our response."
The city gate was in sight, and they didn't notice anything unusual when they looked from the outside. The only disturbing thing was that there were no common people coming in and out, and the entire official road was empty, only his two brothers strolled leisurely.
Suddenly the sound of hoofbeats sounded, and more than ten riders rushed out from the city gate and galloped straight towards the two of them.
Xu Ziling stood firm and said, "The leader is Xie Wenlong."
Shen Mu retreated to him, looked intently, and said in a deep voice, "Can't you see Xie Hui?"
Xu Ziling shook his head and said he didn't see it.
More than a dozen riders reined in their horses and their horses neighed. Under the leadership of Xie Wenlong, more than a dozen riders dismounted at the same time. They were all young and strong, strong and fat, and they were all masters of the new generation of Domineering Castle.
Xie Wenlong took two steps forward, came to the place where the two of them were about half a foot away, and saluted, "Xie Wenlong, on behalf of Duzun Fort, would like to welcome the young commander and Mr. Xu."
The two heard you look at each other. This kind of reception was beyond their expectation. Of course, it is also possible that Xie Hui came to show his true colors before they were in a desperate situation.
Shen Mu chuckled, and returned the courtesy: "Brother Xie, you don't need to be too polite, brother! We came here uninvited and rude, don't take offense, Brother Xie."
Xie Wenlong hurriedly said: "Where! Where!" After saying that, he ordered two empty horses to be brought in, and said: "My father is waiting for the two great drivers in the city, please let Wenlong lead the way."
Both sides stepped on their horses, Shen Mu was in the middle, Xu Ziling and Xie Wenlong rode on the left and right, surrounded by more than ten horsemen, they galloped slowly towards the east gate.
Shen Mu immediately asked Xie Wenlong, "How is sister-in-law?"
Xie Wenlong might not have thought that Shen Mu would talk to him in such a friendly and friendly manner, he was slightly taken aback, then his expression darkened, and he said dejectedly: "Everything that happened recently was something she didn't want to see, the young commander thinks How will she be doing?"
Shen Mu sighed: "This is exactly the reason why Ziling and I visited Chengdu, hoping to turn hostility into peace. Frankly speaking, until now, I still don't understand why everyone has such a field?"
Xie Wenlong stared at the front, and said expressionlessly: "There are some things that Wenlong is inconvenient to say, my father will let the young marshal understand."
Shen Mu's heart sank when he heard this, and according to Xie Wenlong's demeanor and tone, the chances of him and Xie Hui ending up peacefully were slim to none.Fortunately, Xie Hui was willing to talk to them, showing the demeanor of a Bashu martial artist who is as famous as Song Que.
However, when Xie Wenlong said these words, Xu Ziling felt a strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if waiting for them in the city was not just Xie Hui and his Xie Jiajun, but he couldn't think of anyone else. .
The three cavalry led the charge into the doorway, and the city guards lined up on both sides to the entrance of the city gate, with about 50 people on each side.But compared to the thousands of soldiers facing the Golden Wolf Army outside Longquan City, this kind of momentum is only a child's play.
Seeing little knowledge, the Xie family army is undeniably an elite force, not a mob, which can make Xie Hui hold the scene of Bashu firmly after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, keep it peaceful, and no one dares to invade.This situation was finally broken by Song Que, who had a close relationship with Xie Hui.
The street leading to the exit of the city gate was empty of pedestrians, and the shops were closed, full of the tense atmosphere before the rain.
Shen Mu and Xu Ziling's eyes went straight to the distance of the long street, holding their hands behind their backs. In this cold winter, he was still just a middle-aged man in green clothes and a wind cloak. Compared with the heavily armed soldiers on both sides, he had a sense of aloofness. .
This person has a high forehead and a straight nose, a dark complexion, and an arrogant and indifferent expression. Standing there casually, he has a majestic and domineering aura, although it is slightly inferior to Song Que's arrogance of looking down on the world and letting the earth let me go. It can still impress anyone who sees it.He didn't wear any weapons on his body, but no one dared to doubt that he had fierce lethality.
Shen Mu and Xu Ziling cried out that it was not good, and Xie Hui was the kind of person who would never be threatened. Putting up such a battle showed his fighting spirit and confidence that he was not afraid of being challenged.
Xie Hui said calmly from a distance: "I am Xie Hui! Welcome the young marshal and Ziling to Chengdu."
The voice came leisurely, without raising one's breath, every sentence and every word resounded in the ear drums of the two people, this skill alone was enough to make the two people feel cautious, not daring to underestimate the enemy carelessly, even if they could retreat calmly Confidence is also shaken.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Xie Hui can be as famous as Song Que, of course he is not an ordinary person.
Shen Mu clasped his fists immediately and responded, "It's our honor that the castle master is still willing to take time to meet us two young juniors despite his busy schedule."
Xie Hui laughed and said, "There are talented people from generation to generation. The young commander is modest! Who in the world doesn't know these two great names."
To show respect, Shen Mu got off his horse five feet away from Li Jiehui, and the others quickly followed.
The empty avenue itself has its own pressure of silence, a feeling of suffocation.The dialogue between the two sides reverberated on the long street, and the atmosphere was solemn, full of inner tension that the war was about to break out.
Xie Hui didn't intend to go to war if he didn't agree with each other at all. He stared at Shen Mu and Shen Mu with complex and incomprehensible expressions in his eyes, and attracted most of his attention with Xu Ziling.The others were still standing at the dismounting place, and Xie Wenlong accompanied them to Xie Huixing.
Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were used to the scene, even though they were in a dangerous situation, they still had a calm attitude.
Xie Hui shot a look of admiration in his eyes, greatly diluting the original gloomy and terrified look, and said with a smile: "The two of you have come from thousands of miles away, Xie has prepared a table of tea and plain dishes to wash away the dust for you two."
Shen Mu and Xu Ziling heard you look at me, they were surprised that Xie Hui was willing to sit down and talk to them, and they were even more puzzled because of the plain tea instead of fine wine and delicacies.
Shen Mu secretly felt uneasy, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Thanks to the feast and hospitality of the castle master, everyone can sit down and drink tea, chat about the world, what is more pleasant in life than this?"
Xu Ziling's heart twitched uncontrollably a few times, faintly feeling that something completely beyond their imagination was waiting for them on the road ahead.
Xie Hui showed a bitter smile, nodded slightly, and whispered: "Open the door to welcome guests!"
"Gah!"
At the place where the four of them stood, the door of a restaurant on the left was originally a closed door, but it was opened in the middle, and the two Xie warriors respectfully pushed open the door from the inside to the outside, with slow and steady movements, revealing it inch by inch. The restaurant lobby space.
There seems to be only one table in the middle of the restaurant lobby that should be full of tables, giving people an unusual feeling.
But what attracted the two's attention was the spotless fairy sitting on the chair on the side of the table facing the street. She was gazing at Shen Mu and Xu Ziling on the street with calm and clear eyes.
Xu Ziling's tiger body shook violently.
Shen Mu was not much better than him, he trembled and exclaimed in surprise: "Feixuan!"
It was Fairy Shi who returned to the world.
She appeared so suddenly, so unexpectedly!It's as unstoppable as her Sekong sword.
No matter how thoughtful they were, they would not miss any possibility, and they would never expect to meet Shi Feixuan in the city.
Xu Ziling felt feverish all over his body, his brain was pounding, and his heart was turning into a huge wave that was not restrained by any force.
once Upon a time?He was so eager to be reunited with her, to tell her the contradictions and pains in his heart, the contradictions and pains that only she could understand, and begged her to rescue him by magic.
once Upon a time?He once lost all self-control and missed her so much that he even thought about abandoning everything and going to Jingzhai, who was nowhere in the clouds, just to see her one more time.
The days without her felt like years, but the cruel reality forced him to endure silently, because he was afraid of disturbing her sacred and inviolable Qingxiu.
When he thought he was going to die in the battle of Luoyang, he finally couldn't help but visit Kong in his clone, and sent his heartfelt message to her through Kong, hoping that she would understand his difficulties of violating her will.
After being severely injured by Yang Xuyan, Xu Ziling met Shi Qingxuan again, and when his mind gradually shifted to her, his bitter thoughts about Concubine Shixuan finally managed to turn from intense to light, and he was deeply buried in his heart.But she appeared at this critical moment, and it was also related to Shen Mu's plan to win the final victory.
There is nothing better than this.
Concubine Shixuan is still dressed in men's clothing, with soft hair on top, coarse linen clothes, cotton jacket, plain white lining plain yellow, soft leather boots, and a colored empty sword on her back. Her expression is peaceful, making it impossible to know her heart. of mystery.Seeing the two of them staring at her blankly, they stood up calmly, with a faint smile floating on the corners of their lips, and said softly, "Young commander, Ziling please!"
Like puppets controlled by invisible clues, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling forgot about Xie Hui and his son, and walked towards the restaurant in a daze.
It was originally an ordinary restaurant, but it was immediately transformed from mortal world to fairyland, all because of the sudden appearance of the fairy trail.
Xie Hui and his son followed behind the two and greeted them to take their seats.
The two of them followed Xie Hui's instructions like dumb birds and sat down opposite Shi Feixuan, with Xie Hui and his son sitting on both sides.
Shi Feixuan personally poured tea for everyone, and then sat down.
There was no one else in the restaurant except for the table of vegetarian dishes and the five people sitting around the table whose relationship was so complicated that they couldn't explain it. The soldier who opened the door silently covered the door for them and retreated out of the restaurant.
Xie Hui raised his glass and said, "No matter what the two of you came to Chengdu for, you two haven't turned your back on me for a day, and you are still my Xie Hui's guests. Xie Hui would like to offer you a cup of hot tea."
Xu Ziling avoided the clear gaze of his concubine Xuan who seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, cast his eyes on Qingming, sighed secretly, and raised his glass in response.
Shen Mu, on the other hand, met Shi Feixuan's eyes without blinking, raised his glass slowly, turned his eyes to Jie Hui, and replied in a calm voice: "I hope that the next time I see the castle master, I can still be like this." Sit down and drink tea."
The four men drank the boiling hot tea in one gulp, Shi Feixuan took a sip, put down the teacup leisurely, with a calm and at ease expression, as if what happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Xie Wenlong said: "These plain dishes are all made by my own hands, so please be polite."
Shen Mu held up his chopsticks and said with a wry smile: "It's hard for me to eat, but since it's Mrs. Xie's kind intentions, how dare I live up to it. Come Ziling! Let's all praise Young Madam."
After the two tasted the two vegetarian dishes, Xie Hui sighed: "Leaving aside our hostile stance, the two are the people Xie valued the most in this world. You are the only ones who have won glory for our Han people outside the Great Wall." , anyone should also sincerely appreciate it.”
Concubine Shixuan didn't have the slightest intention to speak, she looked at Xu Ziling who was eating strangely with great interest, her beautiful eyes shot out a gentle expression.
Shen Mu said dejectedly: "Frankly speaking, I have thousands of words to tell the master of Xie Bao, lest we fight each other, we will lose both, and save the innocent people in Bashu. But the concubine Xuan came suddenly, Now that I am at a loss, I don’t know what to say, so I might as well ask Feixuan and the castle master to enlighten me.”
Concubine Shixuan pursed her lips and smiled, noncommittal, and cast her eyes on Xie Hui.
Xie Hui didn't look at anyone, fell into deep thought, with a desolate look in his eyes, looked out the door, and said with emotion: "I, Xie Hui, have been in the world for decades, and I have never been afraid of anyone, let alone Sell anyone's account, except for two people."
Xie Wenlong hung his head in silence, as if sharing the pain in Xie Hui's heart.
Shen Mu said in surprise: "May I ask who are these two people who can make the castle owner have to sell their account?"
Xie Hui moved his eyes to Shen Mu, sharpened like a sword, and said in a deep voice: "There is one thing I must make a statement first, so as not to be misunderstood by the young commander. No matter whether you believe it or not, power and wealth are nothing more than a passing cloud to me, not enough. Unfortunately, if the world was not in chaos, I would have retreated to the mountains and forests early, and handed over my belongings to Wenlong to take care of the affairs of the world. So Yang Guang died, and I signed an agreement with the Bameng to maintain the neutrality of Bashu and prevent the people from being ravaged by the war. Wait for the Ming Lord who will unify the world to appear."
Hearing Xie Hui's words, Xu Ziling couldn't help looking at Shi Feixuan, the fairy met his gaze as if in response, and nodded gently, expressing that Xie Hui said what he said from the bottom of his heart.
However, Shen Mu frowned when he heard this, and asked in puzzlement, "Since that's the case, why doesn't the Castle Master continue to remain neutral?"
Xie Hui didn't answer him, showing nostalgia, returned to the previous topic, and muttered to himself: "On a hot summer day more than 40 years ago, when I was still a young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, Song Que The family escorted a batch of salt goods to Shu, and I received the salt goods on behalf of the clan. I have never seen such a heroic and incomparable character like Brother Song. The ferocious horse thief who ravaged the territory of Shu has been born and died several times, fighting side by side. Brother Song has defended me many times in extremely dangerous situations regardless of life and death. The reason why I, Xie Hui, is what I am today is all because of Brother Song's support, no matter what It's chaotic outside, but no one dares to offend me, because everyone in the world knows that if they offend Jie Hui, Song Que will be angered. Who in the world dares to offend Song Que?"
There can be such a distance between speculation and fact, Shen Mu didn't know that he misunderstood Xie Hui until he heard Xie Hui's confession of his relationship with Song Que.The leader of the most powerful family in Bashu did not turn his back on Song Que to welcome the Li family because of his love for power, but for another reason. The key was the other person Song Que had to sell to Xie Hui.
who can that be?
After Xu Ziling reappeared in the fairy tale of his concubine Xuan, there were only four words to describe his mood: distraught.Unfortunately, what Shi Zhixuan said was that when Li Shimin was at the critical point of life and death, Fan Qinghui would not sit idly by.
Outside of Shen Mu and Song Que's camp, only Shi Feixuan understands that Bashu cannot be lost. If Hanzhong falls, Shen Mu can go directly to attack Chang'an, and Yang Gong's treasure house will make Li Yuan lose the greatest advantage of Chang'an.
The presence of Concubine Shixuan here was a deliberate move.
Shen Mu's voice sounded: "I understand! Dare to ask the castle owner, who is the other castle owner who has to sell the account?"
Xie Hui was immersed in the memories of the past, and said with great embarrassment: "There are many things I dare not think of, and I don't want to mention them now. Brother Song has always been the person Xie Hui admires the most, and it hasn't changed until now. If If I had a choice, I would never go against his will, not to mention Yuhua is my favorite daughter-in-law."
Xie Wenlong trembled and said, "Father!"
Xie Hui raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said calmly: "The other one is Feixuan's Master Fanzhai. She set foot in the rivers and lakes because of Xiuxin and Shi Zhixuan, and Brother Song and I also wanted to find Shi Zhixuan because of Xiuxin. Unlucky, everyone met on the left side of the road, it seems unintentional, but in fact it is destined. Although I was just an observer of the conversation between her and my elder brother, I remembered every word they said, and I felt her compassion for the world and the greatness of thinking about all people. Sentiment, dare not forget for a moment."
Then she looked at Shi Feixuan, her eyes showed tenderness, and said kindly: "So when Feixuan came to speak to me for Li Shimin, explaining the reasons and consequences of her choice of Li Shimin, it was the first time I didn't ask for important matters. I got the elder brother's consent, and I categorically agreed to the conditions offered by Feixuan, not for the honor and disgrace of my family, but for the well-being of all people in the world. I still don't regret it to this day, but I am sad that I can't get the forgiveness of the elder brother. The last thing I want to do with him The enemy is my enemy today, but I don't blame my elder brother at all. He has his position and opinions, and no one can shake his belief. Of course I can't do it, and Qinghui can't do it. I don't want to see situation has become a dire reality.”
Shen Mu and Xu Ziling finally understood that although Xie Hui didn't clarify his relationship with Fan Qinghui, it was clear that he and Song Que both had feelings for Fan Qinghui, but because of Fan Qinghui's birth status, of course there would be no results. Just like the relationship between Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan.Imagine if Xu Ziling was Xie Hui, and Shi Feixuan's disciple begged Xu Ziling a few years later, could he refuse?

Shen Mu smiled and said: "The most touching part of life is that no one can predict what will happen in the next moment, what changes will happen? Like our current situation, how will Xie Hui deal with us after entering the city, or simply refuse us to enter the city? It's fun to think about."

At least Xie Hui will meet with us and listen to what we have to say." Then he smiled wryly. He said: "If it weren't for Yuzhi's love, I would never take risks in the city, so if there is a chance, I will fight for it, and I hope I only need to talk and not use hands."
Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "For the same reason, I accompany you to be the fool who sent two fat sheep to the tiger's mouth. But I am still worried that if one is bad, it will immediately trigger a civil war between Xie Hui and the four major clans."
Shen Mu shrugged and said: "Xie Hui should not be such a stupid person, so danger and opportunity coexist, and it depends on our response."
The city gate was in sight, and they didn't notice anything unusual when they looked from the outside. The only disturbing thing was that there were no common people coming in and out, and the entire official road was empty, only his two brothers strolled leisurely.
Suddenly the sound of hoofbeats sounded, and more than ten riders rushed out from the city gate and galloped straight towards the two of them.
Xu Ziling stood firm and said, "The leader is Xie Wenlong."
Shen Mu retreated to him, looked intently, and said in a deep voice, "Can't you see Xie Hui?"
Xu Ziling shook his head and said he didn't see it.
More than a dozen riders reined in their horses and their horses neighed. Under the leadership of Xie Wenlong, more than a dozen riders dismounted at the same time. They were all young and strong, strong and fat, and they were all masters of the new generation of Domineering Castle.
Xie Wenlong took two steps forward, came to the place where the two of them were about half a foot away, and saluted, "Xie Wenlong, on behalf of Duzun Fort, would like to welcome the young commander and Mr. Xu."
The two heard you look at each other. This kind of reception was beyond their expectation. Of course, it is also possible that Xie Hui came to show his true colors before they were in a desperate situation.
Shen Mu chuckled, and returned the courtesy: "Brother Xie, you don't need to be too polite, brother! We came here uninvited and rude, don't take offense, Brother Xie."
Xie Wenlong hurriedly said: "Where! Where!" After saying that, he ordered two empty horses to be brought in, and said: "My father is waiting for the two great drivers in the city, please let Wenlong lead the way."
Both sides stepped on their horses, Shen Mu was in the middle, Xu Ziling and Xie Wenlong rode on the left and right, surrounded by more than ten horsemen, they galloped slowly towards the east gate.
Shen Mu immediately asked Xie Wenlong, "How is sister-in-law?"
Xie Wenlong might not have thought that Shen Mu would talk to him in such a friendly and friendly manner, he was slightly taken aback, then his expression darkened, and he said dejectedly: "Everything that happened recently was something she didn't want to see, the young commander thinks How will she be doing?"

Shen Mu's heart sank when he heard this, and according to Xie Wenlong's demeanor and tone, the chances of him and Xie Hui ending up peacefully were slim to none.Fortunately, Xie Hui was willing to talk to them, showing the demeanor of a Bashu martial artist who is as famous as Song Que.
However, when Xie Wenlong said these words, Xu Ziling felt a strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if waiting for them in the city was not just Xie Hui and his Xie Jiajun, but he couldn't think of anyone else. .

Xu Ziling's heart twitched uncontrollably a few times, faintly feeling that something completely beyond their imagination was waiting for them on the road ahead.
Xie Hui showed a bitter smile, nodded slightly, and whispered: "Open the door to welcome guests!"
"Gah!"
At the place where the four of them stood, the door of a restaurant on the left was originally a closed door, but it was opened in the middle, and the two Xie warriors respectfully pushed open the door from the inside to the outside, with slow and steady movements, revealing it inch by inch. The restaurant lobby space.
There seems to be only one table in the middle of the restaurant lobby that should be full of tables, giving people an unusual feeling.
But what attracted the two's attention was the spotless fairy sitting on the chair on the side of the table facing the street. She was gazing at Shen Mu and Xu Ziling on the street with calm and clear eyes.
Xu Ziling's tiger body shook violently.
Shen Mu was not much better than him, he trembled and exclaimed in surprise: "Feixuan!"
It was Fairy Shi who returned to the world.
She appeared so suddenly, so unexpectedly!It's as unstoppable as her Sekong sword.
No matter how thoughtful they were, they would not miss any possibility, and they would never expect to meet Shi Feixuan in the city.
Xu Ziling felt feverish all over his body, his brain was pounding, and his heart was turning into a huge wave that was not restrained by any force.
once Upon a time?He was so eager to be reunited with her, to tell her the contradictions and pains in his heart, the contradictions and pains that only she could understand, and begged her to rescue him by magic.

There was no one else in the restaurant except for the table of vegetarian dishes and the five people sitting around the table whose relationship was so complicated that they couldn't explain it. The soldier who opened the door silently covered the door for them and retreated out of the restaurant.
Xie Hui raised his glass and said, "No matter what the two of you came to Chengdu for, you two haven't turned your back on me for a day, and you are still my Xie Hui's guests. Xie Hui would like to offer you a cup of hot tea."
Xu Ziling avoided the clear gaze of his concubine Xuan who seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, cast his eyes on Qingming, sighed secretly, and raised his glass in response.
Shen Mu, on the other hand, met Shi Feixuan's eyes without blinking, raised his glass slowly, turned his eyes to Jie Hui, and replied in a calm voice: "I hope that the next time I see the castle master, I can still be like this." Sit down and drink tea."
The four men drank the boiling hot tea in one gulp, Shi Feixuan took a sip, put down the teacup leisurely, with a calm and at ease expression, as if what happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Xie Wenlong said: "These plain dishes are all made by my own hands, so please be polite."
Shen Mu held up his chopsticks and said with a wry smile: "It's hard for me to eat, but since it's Mrs. Xie's kind intentions, how dare I live up to it. Come Ziling! Let's all praise Young Madam."
After the two tasted the two vegetarian dishes, Xie Hui sighed: "Leaving aside our hostile stance, the two are the people Xie valued the most in this world. You are the only ones who have won glory for our Han people outside the Great Wall." , anyone should also sincerely appreciate it.”
Concubine Shixuan didn't have the slightest intention to speak, she looked at Xu Ziling who was eating strangely with great interest, her beautiful eyes shot out a gentle expression.
Shen Mu said dejectedly: "Frankly speaking, I have thousands of words to tell the master of Xie Bao, lest we fight each other, we will lose both, and save the innocent people in Bashu. But the concubine Xuan came suddenly, Now that I am at a loss, I don’t know what to say, so I might as well ask Feixuan and the castle master to enlighten me.”
Concubine Shixuan pursed her lips and smiled, noncommittal, and cast her eyes on Xie Hui.
Xie Hui didn't look at anyone, fell into deep thought, with a desolate look in his eyes, looked out the door, and said with emotion: "I, Xie Hui, have been in the world for decades, and I have never been afraid of anyone, let alone Sell anyone's account, except for two people."
Xie Wenlong hung his head in silence, as if sharing the pain in Xie Hui's heart.
Shen Mu said in surprise: "May I ask who are these two people who can make the castle owner have to sell their account?"
Xie Hui moved his eyes to Shen Mu, sharpened like a sword, and said in a deep voice: "There is one thing I must make a statement first, so as not to be misunderstood by the young commander. No matter whether you believe it or not, power and wealth are nothing more than a passing cloud to me, not enough. Unfortunately, if the world was not in chaos, I would have retreated to the mountains and forests early, and handed over my belongings to Wenlong to take care of the affairs of the world. So Yang Guang died, and I signed an agreement with the Bameng to maintain the neutrality of Bashu and prevent the people from being ravaged by the war. Wait for the Ming Lord who will unify the world to appear."
Hearing Xie Hui's words, Xu Ziling couldn't help looking at Shi Feixuan, the fairy met his gaze as if in response, and nodded gently, expressing that Xie Hui said what he said from the bottom of his heart.
However, Shen Mu frowned when he heard this, and asked in puzzlement, "Since that's the case, why doesn't the Castle Master continue to remain neutral?"
Xie Hui didn't answer him, showing nostalgia, returned to the previous topic, and muttered to himself: "On a hot summer day more than 40 years ago, when I was still a young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, Song Que The family escorted a batch of salt goods to Shu, and I received the salt goods on behalf of the clan. I have never seen such a heroic and incomparable character like Brother Song. The ferocious horse thief who ravaged the territory of Shu has been born and died several times, fighting side by side. Brother Song has defended me many times in extremely dangerous situations regardless of life and death. The reason why I, Xie Hui, is what I am today is all because of Brother Song's support, no matter what It's chaotic outside, but no one dares to offend me, because everyone in the world knows that if they offend Jie Hui, Song Que will be angered. Who in the world dares to offend Song Que?"
There can be such a distance between speculation and fact, Shen Mu didn't know that he misunderstood Xie Hui until he heard Xie Hui's confession of his relationship with Song Que.The leader of the most powerful family in Bashu did not turn his back on Song Que to welcome the Li family because of his love for power, but for another reason. The key was the other person Song Que had to sell to Xie Hui.
who can that be?
After Xu Ziling reappeared in the fairy tale of his concubine Xuan, there were only four words to describe his mood: distraught.Unfortunately, what Shi Zhixuan said was that when Li Shimin was at the critical point of life and death, Fan Qinghui would not sit idly by.
Outside of Shen Mu and Song Que's camp, only Shi Feixuan understands that Bashu cannot be lost. If Hanzhong falls, Shen Mu can go directly to attack Chang'an, and Yang Gong's treasure house will make Li Yuan lose the greatest advantage of Chang'an.
The presence of Concubine Shixuan here was a deliberate move.
Shen Mu's voice sounded: "I understand! Dare to ask the castle owner, who is the other castle owner who has to sell the account?"
Xie Hui was immersed in the memories of the past, and said with great embarrassment: "There are many things I dare not think of, and I don't want to mention them now. Brother Song has always been the person Xie Hui admires the most, and it hasn't changed until now. If If I had a choice, I would never go against his will, not to mention Yuhua is my favorite daughter-in-law."
Xie Wenlong trembled and said, "Father!"
Xie Hui raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said calmly: "The other one is Feixuan's Master Fanzhai. She set foot in the rivers and lakes because of Xiuxin and Shi Zhixuan, and Brother Song and I also wanted to find Shi Zhixuan because of Xiuxin. Unlucky, everyone met on the left side of the road, it seems unintentional, but in fact it is destined. Although I was just an observer of the conversation between her and my elder brother, I remembered every word they said, and I felt her compassion for the world and the greatness of thinking about all people. Sentiment, dare not forget for a moment."
Then she looked at Shi Feixuan, her eyes showed tenderness, and said kindly: "So when Feixuan came to speak to me for Li Shimin, explaining the reasons and consequences of her choice of Li Shimin, it was the first time I didn't ask for important matters. I got the elder brother's consent, and I categorically agreed to the conditions offered by Feixuan, not for the honor and disgrace of my family, but for the well-being of all people in the world. I still don't regret it to this day, but I am sad that I can't get the forgiveness of the elder brother. The last thing I want to do with him The enemy is my enemy today, but I don't blame my elder brother at all. He has his position and opinions, and no one can shake his belief. Of course I can't do it, and Qinghui can't do it. I don't want to see situation has become a dire reality.”
Shen Mu and Xu Ziling finally understood that although Xie Hui didn't clarify his relationship with Fan Qinghui, it was clear that he and Song Que both had feelings for Fan Qinghui, but because of Fan Qinghui's birth status, of course there would be no results. Just like the relationship between Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan.Imagine if Xu Ziling was Xie Hui, and Shi Feixuan's disciple begged Xu Ziling a few years later, could he refuse?
