Chapter 269 269: Wu Xian’s three visits to [Three Thousand]
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, among them The most unavoidable key figure 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 smiling 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 her eyes looking at him were obviously much 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 mine did he step on again? ? ?
After Wu Xian returned home, he learned the hard way 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.
Yan'an 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 moved. Until he started to diss Zheng Qiao, he continued to diss him even more. Yan An endured the throbbing veins on his forehead and directly used Xiao Qi Before that, please (drive) him out.
Wu Xian: "???"
No -
This approach is obviously wrong.
Why did Da Xian help him wholeheartedly when he visited the thatched cottage three times, but he went to invite him 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 be an official in Yan'an yet. Go "look around"!
I don’t believe that I can’t shake this “heart of stone”.
Result——
Did Zheng Qiao become an official in Yan'an?
Are these two brothers from the same discipline?
Wu Xian slapped his face and looked even more aggrieved. Qin Li thought he was uncomfortable somewhere: "My lord, are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh, it's hard to describe in one sentence."
Wu Xian hesitated and talked about his "three visits" experience.
Qin Li: "..."
There were some words he buried in his heart but did not say.
Given 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 that he disses those whom Yan'an values Junior brother, other performances were perfect.
He chuckled rudely.
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 Taiwan, 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 trouble."
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" rebel, and he can be liquidated as soon as he turns his head. Zheng Qiao might not be able to do this given his character.
Qin Li gave his lord another reassurance.
“However, this possibility should not be high.”
Wu Xian asked hurriedly: “How do you say this?”
“Fathers in the same room fight each other, and fathers and sons kill each other. Yes. Wasn't Zheng Qiao's biological father, the previous leader of the Geng Kingdom, murdered by Zheng Qiao and the Queen Mother? What happened to his brothers and sisters? Yan'an and he were just brothers who studied under the same mentor. It's hard to say how close they were to each other. Zheng Qiao was self-willed and murderous. He hated others to interfere with his decisions and taint his power. The more he controls me, the more he won’t tolerate it. I’m afraid he will eventually die at the hands of Zheng Qiao.”
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 Medical Department of Xin State, has many acquaintances and a wide network of contacts. After a little inquiry, he has a clue - he is worried about it. It's several 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."
Ninth Brother on the side said slyly: "Let me go!"
He is. He started out as a sneaky bandit and was a master of tomb robberies. Although he had washed his hands after being surrendered by his eldest brother Gu Ren, his old skills had not been abandoned.
He should be cleaner. He can 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 is too aware of the blood feuds carried by his sworn brothers.
It is life and death with Zheng Qiao, there is no other way. 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 naturally a failure.
On the way to 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. On the day when he regained his memory, he almost collapsed emotionally. 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. They were fighting for their lives, but 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 the nose?
Zheng Qiao was in front of them, and they dared to take action.
Gu Ren said angrily: "You are not afraid of death, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death for me? If you can kill Zheng Qiao by rushing in now, I will be the first to raise troops for you! You guys should also calm down! Zheng Qiao is a little bit A little bit good, are you afraid that he will never be able to take revenge after becoming the "Eternal Mingjun"? Is the Mingzhu so good? What can he save if he just gives up his life? "
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?
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, and no one will run around!"
Lao Liu was once a doctor at the Medical Department As an imperial doctor, your connections can come in handy.
Chao Lian, the twelfth, has wisdom, and Shaochong, the thirteenth, has strength.
Plus myself——
Even if something happens, I can break out.
How many other foster brothers? ? ?
Stay and look at the house.
The seventh brother whispered: "Brother, why don't you leave me too..."
Gu Ren said ruthlessly: "You also stay!"
The seventh brother was so fierce 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 rest.”
Said to be resting, Gu Ren stayed up until dawn with his eyes open.
As a literary scholar, staying up all night is nothing.
"Wu Jun."
"Gu Jun."
On the way, he met Wu Xian and others, greeted each other, and secretly exchanged glances. A little more settled.
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.
It's just——
A family with such financial resources...
It's shocking enough.
Inside 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: "You can just watch and deal with these trivial matters."
Yan An disagreed.
"Lord, 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 is going 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 cause rebellion.
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...
