Back Off, Let Me Come

Wu Xian felt that he was wronged.

He was really, really, really wronged.

I think back then, he sincerely visited Yan'an with generous gifts and 120,000 sincerity. In order to show his ambition, he talked about the situation of Xin and Geng. Speaking of this, the most unavoidable key point is The character is Zheng Qiao.

Zheng Qiao has more dark history than the thick hair on his head. How can he show that he and he are completely different noble people without stepping on them and drawing a clear line? This is the most basic operation, and Wu Xian is no exception.

Zheng Qiao, what a great collection of wrong questions. As long as you avoid his mistakes, you won't make too many mistakes.

So Wu Xian talked a lot.

Speaking of excitement, he was in high spirits and felt that his performance was a few percentage points better than usual. As a result, Yanan's smile that was still there before gradually disappeared. Although he didn't do anything rude, the corners of his pursed lips revealed a bit of displeasure, and Wu Xian didn't know why yet. He thought his performance failed to impress Yan'an, and he was a little disappointed.

However, he did not give up after one defeat.

Two months later I came to visit again.

This time, he did all the homework and hired someone to write for him. He polished and polished it again and again, and wrote an excellent "self-introduction". Every word, every pause, and every tone of voice was remembered by heart. It is guaranteed to highlight his talents, family background, reputation, and heritage, so that people will know that he is a good boss and a good master! Let’s set out boldly and confidently!

Yan'an listened with a smile, nodding approvingly from time to time, and the eyes she looked at him were obviously softer. This reaction greatly encouraged Wu Xian. Then - he started dissing Zheng Qiao again, and Yanan politely asked him to leave for the second time.

Wu Xian: "???"

Which thunderbolt did he step on again? ? ?

After Wu Xian returned home, he learned the painful lesson again.

After some introspection, he did all kinds of homework and even wanted to use "lady diplomacy" - but the Yan'an family still observed filial piety and banned entertainment for three years before giving up - a month or two later, it happened to be a heavy snowfall. , his third visit.

Yanan greeted him for the third time.

Wu Xian performed superbly at the beginning and was in excellent condition. He clearly felt that Yan An was already attracted. Until he started dissing Zheng Qiao, he continued to diss him even more. Yan An endured the throbbing veins on his forehead and invited him directly because he had not passed the filial piety period ( Get out.

Wu Xian: "???"

no--

This approach is obviously wrong.

Why was it that Daxian was able to help the man with all his heart when he visited the thatched cottage three times, but he went to invite the man three times and was immediately kicked out?

Wu Xian said he couldn't understand it at all.

However, he is not stupid.

It was obvious that the crux of the problem might lie with Zheng Qiao, but he checked again and again, but could not find out where the problem was. It happened that he caught Qin Li at this time, which greatly comforted his scarred little heart, and he temporarily put "White Moonlight" behind him - in the future, he would become a prosperous person, and he would not become an official in Yan'an yet. Go "look around"!

I don’t believe that I can’t shake this “heart of stone”.

result--

Is Zheng Qiao serving as an official in Yan'an?

Are these two brothers from the same discipline?

Wu Xian covered his face with his palm, his expression even more aggrieved. Qin Li thought he was uncomfortable somewhere: "My lord, are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."

Wu Xian hesitated and talked about his "three visits" experience.

Qin Li: "..."

There were some words that he buried in his heart and did not say out loud.

Based on Wu Xian's "short-minded" performance, he was not beaten out by Yan'an three times but was politely invited out. It can be seen that Yan'an is still very satisfied with Wu Xian - except for his dissing of Yan'an's valued junior brother, his other performances are quite good. Perfect.

He chuckled impolitely.

Wu Xian changed from covering his face with one hand to covering his face with both hands.

In order to prevent his lord from coming to power, Qin Li took the initiative to change the topic. He looked slightly solemn and said: "However, I didn't expect Yan'an to have such a great influence on Zheng Qiao. If Yan'an can really stabilize Zheng Qiao - I'm afraid it will be detrimental to us."

Wu Xian also put down his hands after hearing this.

He sighed: "This is indeed a problem."

If Zheng Qiao stabilizes the situation with the help of Yan'an, then with tens of thousands of troops in hand, he will be a "self-respecting" and "domineering" thief, and he can be liquidated as soon as he turns his head. Zheng Qiao might not be able to do this given his temperament.

Qin Li gave his lord another reassurance.

"However, this probably shouldn't be big."

Wu Xian asked hurriedly: "How do you say this?"

"Fights between the same room, and father and son killing each other, are common. Zheng Qiao's biological father, the previous head of the Geng Kingdom, was not murdered by Zheng Qiao and the Queen Mother. What happened to Zheng Qiao's brothers and sisters? Yan'an and him They are just brothers who studied under a mentor. It's hard to say how much friendship there is. Zheng Qiao is self-willed and murderous. He hates others to interfere in his decisions and contaminate his power. The more Yan An controls, the more he can't tolerate it. I'm afraid - I will die at the hands of Zheng Qiao in the end."

Therefore, Qin Li didn't understand Yan'an's choice and continued to follow Zheng Qiao, fearing that he would die without a burial place. However, due to the presence of Yan'an, Qin Li was sure that there would be no danger this time, his life was not in danger, and he could rest assured for the time being.

Wu Xian felt relieved after hearing this.

Gu Ren was also worried and stayed up all night.

But Gu Ren is not worried about his own life - his sixth brother, as the former imperial physician of the Xin State Medical Department, has many acquaintances and a wide network of contacts. After a little inquiry, he has a clue - he is worried about his other brothers. Half of these brothers had direct or indirect hatred against Zheng Qiao. When they heard that Yan'an was next to Zheng Qiao, they were so angry that they wanted to kill Yan'an.

Even if Zheng Qiao becomes the so-called "Ming Master" with Yan'an's help, can all the bad things he has done be wiped out?

The irritable seventh brother smashed the table to pieces.

"Brother, let me kill that Yan Xingning."

The ninth brother on the side said quietly: "Let me go!"

He had a background as a sneaky bandit, and was a master at tomb robbing. Although he had washed his hands in a golden basin after being surrendered by his eldest brother Gu Ren, his old skills had not been abandoned.

If he were to be cleaner, he could muddy the waters by killing Yan Xingning and then framing the blame on any wrongdoer!

Gu Ren held his chin up and looked at his foster brothers, his head hurting. He is ambitious, but if Zheng Qiao can change his ways and become a qualified leader of the country, the safety of him and his brothers will be guaranteed, and he doesn't mind returning to his hometown to be a rich man with peace of mind.

However, I dare not speak out these thoughts casually.

Because he was too aware of the blood feuds carried by his sworn brothers.

There is no second way to life and death with Zheng Qiao.

Take the third brother as an example.

Every time Zheng Qiao captured a city, he liked to burn, kill, loot, and indulge his soldiers to do evil. If the battle did not go well, he would even massacre the city in a rage. The third brother's family was all wiped out in the massacre. His wife and daughter were humiliated, and his youngest son died tragically. His parents' heads were hung under the door plaque of their home, and their bodies were trampled by horse hooves. None of his servants and maids were spared... He was the only one who survived outside.

In anger, he wanted to assassinate Zheng Qiao.

The result was of course a failure.

During the escape, he was only half-breathed, and was picked up by Gu Ren who happened to be passing by. He lost his memory for three months, and almost collapsed emotionally the day he regained his memory. It was also because of Gu Ren's face and listening to his repeated persuasion that the third brother temporarily suppressed his hatred.

How to resolve this hatred?

Therefore, Yanan deserves to die!

Everyone was noisy, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they were, and they were fighting for their lives. Gu Ren finally said, "That's enough!"

Seeing that Gu Ren was really angry, the adopted brothers kept silent.

They didn't say anything, but there was still "dissatisfaction" that almost overflowed from their faces. They wished they could kill Xiang Gong, Zheng Qiao, or Yan'an who suddenly jumped out to cause destruction. Gu Ren said: "Do you still remember where you are now?"

He pointed in the direction of the palace.

"We are right under Zheng Qiao's nose now."

The seventh brother muttered: "Which one of us is afraid of death is a coward."

What's going on under your nose?

Zheng Qiao was in front of them, but they dared to take action.

Gu Ren said angrily: "You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of death for my brother? If you can kill Zheng Qiao by rushing in now, I will be the first to raise your troops for my brother! You should also calm down! If Zheng Qiao is a little better, you can Are you afraid that he will never be able to take revenge once he becomes the 'Eternal Mingjun'? Is the Mingzhu so good? If he just gives up his life for a mere banquet, what can he save?"

Even if Yan'an really has this ability, it's too late for him to show up. Zheng Qiao has done everything right, how can there be any way back?

All the sworn brothers remained silent.

Gu Ren sighed.

He said: "Tomorrow, except for Lao Liu, Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen, all the others will stay. Don't let any of them run around!"

Lao Liu was once a physician at the Medical Department, so his connections could be used.

Chao Lian, the twelfth one, has wisdom, and Shaochong, the thirteenth one, has the strength.

Plus myself——

If something happens, I can rush out.

How many other foster brothers? ? ?

Stay and look after the house.

The seventh brother whispered: "Brother, why don't you treat me too..."

Gu Ren said ruthlessly: "You stay too!"

The seventh brother was so cruel that he bowed his head silently.

Gu Ren squeezed his sore eyebrows and waved his hand.

"It's getting late, let's all go back and have a rest."

Speaking of resting, Gu Ren stayed up until dawn with his eyes open.

As a literary scholar, staying up all night is nothing.

"Wu Jun."

"Mr. Gu."

On the way, he met Wu Xian and others, greeted each other, exchanged glances secretly, and felt a little more at ease.

The palace is a temporarily requisitioned palace that was previously owned by a local aristocratic family. It covers a large area and is exquisite and luxurious inside. Although it is not as luxurious as "five steps and one floor, ten steps and one pavilion", it is still a continuous building with pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.

only--

A family with such financial resources...

It's shocking enough.

In the main hall.

The courtiers in court uniforms lowered their heads, not daring to look at the handsome and feminine young man above them. They were so afraid of Zheng Qiao that they couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding when they looked at each other, not to mention the question and answer exchange, and secretly said, "My life is at stake."

Zheng Qiao patiently listened to Yan An's performance and said in a bad tone, "Just watch and deal with these trivial matters."

Yanan disagreed.

"Master, this is not a trivial matter!"

It is clearly related to the livelihood of the people in Xiazhou and County!

As the leader of the country, Zheng Qiao should be concerned!

The only good thing about Yan'an is that King Pig's rebellion happened after the autumn harvest. If it had been before then, I don't know how many people would have starved to death in this cold winter! Of course, things are not much better now.

Therefore, Yanan prepared for the worst.

He planned to check the accounts of the grain depot and open the warehouse to release grain according to the situation to prevent the people from dying of famine. As long as the people have enough to eat, no one with good intentions can incite them to revolt.

You can also buy more time.

Sogou said that I wrote 17,000 today... Why was it only 5,500 after the revision... In the remaining early morning, I took advantage of the good condition, alas...
