942: Meeting on a narrow road (Part 1) [Please ask for monthly tickets](1/2)
Chapter 878 878: The abacus failed”
He Yin, Xu Jie's private house, inner courtyard.
Mrs. Xu Jie stepped into the room, and the sultry heat coming to her face and the smell of medicine mixed in the air made her frown. She waved away the servant maid who was serving until only Xu Jie's confidant was left in the room. She walked around the screen and saw her husband lying on the bed.
Sit down on the side of the bed.
Xu Jie, who was breathing weakly, raised a little eyelids. She rolled her eyes and complained in a low voice: "The Lord of the United States doesn't want to go to Tianhai, and he doesn't have to joke about his life. He broke his legs and hit his head. He can't even breathe, and he is not afraid of being scared?"
Xu Jie opened his eyes and took off his forehead belt.
He smiled and said, "Isn't this afraid that the wife can't deceive others?"
Only he and a few confidants knew about this plan. They didn't dare to tell their wife that she was afraid that her acting skills would be out of reach. Xu Jie stood up with his elbow, and the wife put a mat behind his waist at the right time so that he could lean on it less hard, and couldn't help but be angry: "If you don't try, how could I know that I can't cheat people? Forget it, I won't argue with you. Who made me just an ordinary person? How could you know how hard you literary scholars who can practice are? You can live if you break the hole and shed so much blood."
She said as she stretched her hands, which were coated with kohl, along the bedding piled up on Xu Jie's waist and abdomen, and pinched a small piece of meat in the tender part of his thighs, causing Xu Jie's facial features to shift. He wanted to scream, but for the sake of dignity, he swallowed the sound back.
Finally, he bent over and whispered to his wife: "Madam! Madam! Be gentle... I used to be a husband, but my head and legs were only hurt, but now it hurts both upper, middle and lower..."
The lady then took her hand back.
Xu Jie was lying on the bed and gasping for breath, secretly glanced at the person beside him with his light, believing that she was not so angry, so he returned to normal. The wife was not angry anymore, but when she thought of the current situation, she was still frowning: "Although the clan elders were sent over, you broke your legs and hit your head. Will Mr. Wu believe it?"
Even she didn't believe Xu Jie's story.
What kind of alcohol does he drink?
Not only was he drunk, but he was so drunk that he was confused. On the way back to the inner courtyard, he slipped on the moss and broke his legs. He got up in a daze and fell down from the pond, and his head hit the rockery landscape. He floated in the pond for half a night before being discovered by the patrol guard and recovered his life.
That's so irritating!
Why didn’t he just say he got drunk and fell into the dry toilet?
Xu Jie covered the faint itchy and hot wound on his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not. What's important is that Mr. Wu completely missed the match between him and Nan, and he couldn't do anything to He Yin. Now, we are all ready, only one thing is missing..."
What?
Of course it was Shen Jun and Shen Youli’s reply.
Only after receiving the reply letter, Shen Youli accepted him and He Yin, who belonged to the territory of Kang State in name, and Wu Xian completely lost the bargaining chip to threaten the Xu family. On the contrary, He Yin would become one of the border counties of Kang State and become an invisible threat to the sea of heaven and sea.
"Based on this geographical location, I think Mr. Wu dare not set the capital of Tianhai. The Tianhai family is probably going to be like losing their parents." He Yin became a county on Shen Tang's border. Wu Xian set the capital of Tianhai again. What's the difference between this and bringing his neck to the Shen Tang sword?
When Xu Jie thought of that scene, he wanted to laugh.
The movement was too big and involved the wound. He was so painful that his facial features were displaced. He was criticized by his wife: "Is it so funny?"
She was not clear about the external political situation, and what she learned was all shared with her. She really couldn't empathize with Xu Jie's laughter - Wu Xian could not establish the capital of Tianhai, why did the Tianhai family feel like they were losing their parents? Isn't it just a royal capital?
There were so many countries in the Northwest Continent that were once co-established, and all places had been royal capitals. Is it important to be a royal capital in Tianhai or not?
Xu Jie said: "It's very important, ma'am."
He held his wife's hand and rubbed it carefully.
"Let's not mention anything else, can you tell how difficult it is to deal with local snakes? For example, Tianhai is the capital, and the local gentry of Tianhai is the capital of the capital. No matter what the benefits are, you must first focus on the place of the capital. Tianhai eats meat, and then it is the other place's turn to drink soup. Tianhai cannot become the capital, and Tianhai's family must follow Duke Wu to move to the new capital..."
The influence of the Tianhai Family will be reduced.
"...Mr. Wu said what to build in the new king capital? Most of the benefits are cheaper. Can the old people who have followed Mr. Wu for many years feel comfortable?" Xu Jie relieved his smile and gave his wife an easy-to-understand example, "Can the wife buy the most fashionable rouge and silk satin in the king capital? Can the border counties that will start war at any time?"
The Tianhai family's family is now Tianhai, which is about to become a border county, and the losses inside and outside are too great!
Xu explained it simply, so the wife naturally understood it.
He whispered: "So much less..."
Xu Jie sighed: "The key to preventing Tianhai from becoming a border county is Heyin, and the ownership of Shangnan determines the ownership of Heyin. Madam, it will be a whole body to move. Wu Gong lost no wrongly. If he did not indulge the Tianhai family too much, Qin Gongsu and Zhao Dayi were completely disappointed. With Qin Li's plan, it is still unknown who will kill Shangnan."
If Gu Ren does not die, the Northwest will probably have a three-legged tripod. For Wu Xian today, even if the three-legged tripod is a better place to coexist like the two families, at least he can win over Gu Ren as a shield. Gu Ziyi is really a good man and the best peacemaker.
The lady said: "Everyone has his own destiny."
Xu Jie's eyes were inexplicably clingy: "I don't believe in fate for my husband."
The couple got together in the early years.
With less communication and less understanding, the relationship once dropped to freezing point.
He is busy with business and family planning and is not concerned about the inner house. As long as he gives his wife enough decent and material things and keeps himself clean, he will be considered a good husband. As long as she manages the inner house and takes good care of her children, she will be a good wife. Aren’t husbands and wives in the world like this?
I have different ideas in the past two years.
Well, there is a bit of an old house catching fire.
This gave Xu Jie a very novel experience.
Especially when he received a letter from Wen Shi from his kid, he mentioned a very explosive private topic at his letter, which was like "adding fuel to the fire". The relationship between the couple made rapid progress, and the old house was almost burning to pieces.
The lady turned red and she gently patted her hand.
"Take care of your wounds peacefully."
He covered his wound: "Hmph, Wenxin Literary..."
As long as he let go of his control over his literary talent, he would not have to hurt his muscles and bones for a hundred days, and his wife seemed to be so angry that she was silenced.
Xu Jie felt that this look was full of charm.
Because the county magistrate of Heyin could not afford to get sick, he could pick up fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, and eggs secretly sent by the common people from time to time, and burn incense to the longevity signs offered to the family three times a day. Finally, his sincerity finally moved the heavens. Their county magistrate woke up, and in order to calm the hearts, he forced his sick body to meet the officials and arrange the affairs of the office. Heyin celebrated.
After Xu Jie woke up, his condition improved very quickly.
Every day, they had to sway outside with strange wooden crutches and looked towards the city gate. The common people didn't know what the county magistrate was waiting for, until one day after that, the messenger came to Tianhai again.
The messenger looked at Xu Jie's face and bowed his hand.
"Mr. Xu is waiting here?"
The messenger in Tianhai was dressed in disguise and mixed into Heyin's territory. Xu Jie did not receive any news at all and was caught off guard and was blocked. Xu Jie's face did not change, and he was sarcastic: "Xu did not know how to tell fortunes, and he did not know the fate of heaven. How did he know that the messenger could play "Crossing the River in White Clothes"..."
The messenger was not displeased by Xu Jie's ridicule, but just smiled and told the bad news: "Mr. Xu, don't misunderstand, I have no intention of coming here this time, to send the obituary."
Xu Jie's brows jumped: "Obituary?"
"Before, the governor of Xu was unconscious and appointed his clan to Tianhai? Unfortunately, Mr. Xu was old and tired from the boat and train, and he couldn't afford to get sick. The medicine was useless and died of a fever late at night. The lord's order is here, so he must inform the governor of Xu in person. I would like to ask you to mourn and follow the changes."
The messenger made the pronunciation heavy on the word "to face".
Xu Jie was also mentally prepared for this. The clan elder himself was disobedient. He approached Tianhai and stabbed him behind his back several times. He also used a knife to kill people when he sent him out. But he didn't expect that Wu Xian would kill him as soon as he said he would kill him. Now he sent someone to threaten him, which surprised Xu Jie.
Today's Duke Wu—
It has the style of many years ago.
After all, Xu Jie is an old man in Zongheng Shopping Mall. He has never seen any scene before. Faced with the coercion of the messenger, he did not reveal any flaws: "Oh, it's so hot late at night? When you calculate your age, your clan uncle is also an old man, and it's a joyful demise after his death."
He turned his head and ordered his personal guards to report the death to the clan. The clan elder was considered to be dedicated to the Xu family and had to provide him with the pensions for his descendants. After giving the order, he invited the messenger to come in to rest. However, the messenger refused to move and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to sit down. The lord is afraid that there are thieves who are blind on the road, so he ordered thousands of elite soldiers to escort them. After finishing his work, he still has to go back to report his life."
Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat and he held the wooden stick tightly.
This guy is really doing the trick of "crossing the river in white"!
Thousands of elite soldiers have all arrived in Heyin?
He was about to respond, but the messenger mentioned Wu Xian's invitation again, and glanced at Xu Jie's unscrupulous legs and the wooden crutch in his hand, saying, "This wooden crutch is strange, but it is a great tool. Xu Junjung uses it and can walk freely without the help of his servants."
Xu Jie smiled a little reluctantly.
"Oh, this is sent by my brother."
It is said that it was made one by one based on Shen Jun's wooden stick.
Xu Jie was thinking about how to delay time or try to kill the messenger in front of him. So what if there are thousands of Wu Xian’s soldiers in Heyin County? When he took over Heyin from Shen Jun, Heyin had a plan to be the whole nation. Every year when the farming was not busy, the government office would secretly organize armed battles in various villages. Over time, many villages turned the armed battles into occasions for villages to resolve grievances. They usually gathered up any conflicts to resolve this activity, greatly promoting peace and stability in the country.
The case of armed fighting in villages has been greatly reduced.
These thousands of elite soldiers dare to take action, and they can stop the common people under their control. However, the combat quality of ordinary common people is still far from that of elite soldiers in the army! If they take action, they will inevitably suffer bloodshed and sacrifice.
Xu Jie hesitated, and the messenger stared at him.
He urged: "Mr. Xu, have you thought about it?"
Xu Jie still did not give up on delaying time. He wanted to arrange for his tribe members to evacuate. If all of them fell into Wu Xian's hands, it would be troublesome.
The messenger obviously didn't eat his trick.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the sound of horse hooves approached from the city gate. Xu Jie listened to the sound of horse hooves, and his heart was up and down. Fugu City was rebuilt by Shen Tang. The main street was extremely spacious, and horse riding was prohibited. The sound of horse hooves-
Xu Jie looked at the messenger, and the wooden stick was crushed by him.
The messenger urged: "What are you waiting for in the county magistrate Xu?"
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer.
Then, the familiar martial arts approached.
Xu Jie's eyes lit up instantly, and he survived in a desperate situation.
"Brother--"
The young warrior on the horse jumped down, and when his feet landed on the ground, the horse turned into martial arts and brought to the tiger talisman. Behind him was a cavalry of a hundred people. The young man's hairstyle was not like the common style, and his hair was braided into many braids and tied around his head.
Who can it be if it is not Xu Wenshi?
