Chapter 553: People are slaughtered and many plots are planned, but Muhu still has power

"I don't need to be like someone who cheats and earns a living by telling stories. I am now a guest of the Prince of Beiliang. There is no way I will starve to death here."

Xu Zongjia did not give Xu Fengnian any face, and did not feel any sense of shame at all. He just shook his head and rejected Xu Fengnian's inquiry, staring at the corner where the python robe was.

"Hahaha, what Mr. Xu said is that in Beiliang there will be no starving guests. Although our Beiliang is not as prosperous as Kyoto, Xu still has some wealth, so he will not neglect Mr.!"

Seeing Xu Zongjia staring at the corner where he was, Xu Xiao had to come out of the darkness and deliberately catered to Xu Zongjia's words.

"Dazhu Kingdom is humble. Who doesn't know that Dazhu Kingdom has destroyed six countries and is as rich as any other country?"

Xu Zongjia shook his head and smiled. He knew the details of Xu Xiao. All the palaces in the six countries were attacked by Xu Xiao. No one believed that Xu Xiao had not looted the wealth. Otherwise, how could he have raised 300,000 Northern Liang cavalry? You know The cavalry consumes a lot of money and food. With three hundred thousand cavalry, it is quite difficult for even Liyang Chao to feed them. Xu Xiao can actually support the army right next to Beiliang, which shows that his pockets are already very rich.

"Sir, what are you talking about? In the future, I will open the treasury in the mansion. You can go in and take a look at it at will. You can choose whatever you like!"

Xu Xiao was a generous man who valued people over money. He knew that money was just a foreign object, and it was not as important as Xu Zongjia.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in these!"

There were four people in the field, a prince, a prince, and a subjugated princess. Only Xu Zongjia was a veteran in the army. He was a shepherd boy and had the lowest status, but he was the only one sitting on the seat with carved chi and painted phoenix. , the other three people were standing in the field, but no one thought it was inappropriate, which was surprising.

"Yes, some common things are indeed not worthy of Sir's attention. So, I will go back and collect some rare and rare classics and send them to Tingchao Pavilion to relieve your boredom, Sir!"

Xu Xiao didn't care at all about Xu Zongjia's ill-advised behavior, but continued to propose.

Jiang Ni looked at Xu Zongjia curiously. She had only seen Xu Xiao treat Xu Fengnian with such a low profile before. She didn't expect to see a second person today, which made her a little curious about Xu Zongjia.

"Thank you so much to Dazhuguo!"

Xu Zongjia didn't like gold and silver, so he could throw them away like shoes, but he cherished books very much, so he accepted Xu Xiao's kindness.

Xu Xiao no longer pestered Xu Zongjia, but talked with Xu Fengnian about how to handle today's matter.

"That Yu Youwei is just a chess piece, so it doesn't matter. But if someone like Ning Emei commits a crime, let's take this opportunity to kill him!"

Xu Xiao was also worried about his son. He originally wanted to deal with Yu Youwei together, but thinking of his son's caring and cherishing temperament, and Xu Zongjia suddenly talked about Cao Changqing just now, Xu Xiao didn't think it was about increasing Xu Fengnian's knowledge. , but to remind myself not to overdo it. Although Xi Chu is dead, there is no one behind him to support him. If he really does too much, the overbearing Confucian scholar may really attack Beiliang City, although it is not possible. Naihe must have got him, but the Liyang Dynasty is afraid that he will be extremely happy. The two confidants are fighting each other, and they are not fighting hard, which will always do more harm than good.

"I don't agree to this matter. Although Ning Emei is guilty of the following, he speaks uprightly and adheres to the law. There is nothing wrong with it. You should find an excuse and let him go!"

There are some differences between Xu Fengnian and Xu Xiao. He is not as bold and ruthless as Xu Xiao, but he is a bit softer. He also admires Ning Emei's character and is unwilling to lose this talent.

Xu Xiao frowned. He was not thinking about whether Ning Emei deserved to die. He was thinking about how to establish authority for Xu Fengnian and frighten the hearts of the troops. As for whether Ning Emei was wronged, it was none of his business.

Xu Xiao glanced at Jiang Ni and waved her down. He didn't want to talk about the next thing in front of her, so he asked her to avoid it.

Jiang Ni glanced at the three people present, turned around and left the place without saluting, leaving the space to the three of them.

Xu Xiao also did not shy away from Xu Zongjia. This was not only because Xu Zongjia was one of his own, but also a way to win over Xu Zongjia to show his trust in Xu Zongjia.

Although Xu Zongjia understood Xu Xiao's intentions, he still did not leave. He just sat on the chair boredly and watched the father and son communicate.

"You should know that I am doing this to help you establish your dignity. Only by killing the chicken to scare the monkey can people not dare to underestimate you!"

Xu Xiao persuaded Xu Fengnian earnestly, hoping to change Xu Fengnian's decision.

"I don't need to use this method. If I can't suppress Ning Emei, how can I control Beiliang? So you'd better find an excuse to let him go!"

Xu Fengnian could not agree with Xu Xiao's approach and stated his plan. He did not bother to stain his future with the blood of innocent loyal ministers. He had his own persistence and principles.

"It's better to take it from the straight line than to ask for it from the song! You really impressed me today!"

Xu Zongjia suddenly spoke up and expressed his appreciation for Xu Fengnian's actions. Xu Xiao glanced at Xu Zongjia, shook his head helplessly, and gave up on persuading him. Since Xu Zongjia had spoken out, he had to give this face. He was just a Ning Emei, and he didn't care. It can't cause any trouble, so just let it go.

"Let's do what you say. It's just that a woman's benevolence will never matter. Only the knife in her hand is the most reliable. All benevolence and righteousness are bullshit!"

Xu Xiao cursed and walked outside with hobbling steps, teaching his son his greatest experience in so many years.

How could Xu Fengnian not know that Xu Xiao's love and plans for her were all so that she could successfully take charge of Beiliang? She looked at her father who was walking away and asked quietly.

"Did i do something wrong?"

"There is nothing right or wrong. Everything the strong man says is right, so you are just not strong enough!"

"It turns out I'm not strong enough, do you need me to become stronger?"

Xu Fengnian lowered his head and murmured to himself, his expression unpredictable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xu Xiao walked to a rockery and stopped. He thought about Xu Zongjia's evaluation of Chen Zhibao and carefully considered the pros and cons.

"Lu Qiu'er is a good boy, and Feng Nian will definitely help him in the future!"

"But Chen Zhibao is so amazing. If Mr. Xu hadn't reminded him, I wouldn't have known that he was already a master in the realm of celestial phenomena. What does he want to do if he keeps a low profile and bides his time?"

Xu Xiao's expression is complicated, obscure and unpredictable.

"Chou, tell me, will Chen Zhibao surrender to the Crown Prince?"

From a deserted place, without the slightest hesitation, an answer came.

"Return to my lord, Chen Zhibao will never do it!"

"Oh, you were saved by Chen Zhibao from the dead in the battle at the Princess Tomb in Luoyang City. You didn't defend him, which really surprises me."

Xu Xiao's hair was now gray and white, his back was slightly hunched, and his legs and feet were slightly lame. He looked no different from an ordinary old man. He was an old man whose body was half buried in earth.

The man in the dark did not say anything. Although Xu Xiao was old, he was still afraid of Xu Xiao, the dusk tiger, and did not dare to defend Chen Zhibao. Beiliang was Xu Xiao's Beiliang, and the Beiliang cavalry only recognized the banner with the character "Xu". He only recognized Xu Xiao's Tiger Talisman, and he couldn't save Chen Zhibao. Any more words would just add another layer to the problem and couldn't change anything.
