Xiao Jinliang lost 100000 troops, but he quickened his pace and seized all the southeast and northeast troops of Xiao state. He surrounded Xiao Jinshu in a small area of Liangzhou in the West. The only chance for Xiao Jinshu to expand was to win over the southwest and northwest areas of Liangzhou. Only in this way can he gather 200000 troops to compete with Xiao Jinliang.
Liang Wang's mansion
"Liang Wang, Xiao Jinliang sent someone to deliver the war letters." Mingxin sent a letter of war to Xiao Jinshu.
Xiao Jinshu is standing in his study splashing ink. The more unfavorable the situation is, the more calm and steady he is. Only in this way can he drive away his thoughts.
Xiao Jinshu didn't stop the action of his brush. After half of his effort, he finished writing a piece of brush, pinched up the paper, dried it in the wind and put it up. Then he opened the envelope to read the contents.
He threw the letter in the charcoal basin and burned it to ashes. Then he raised his head and asked, "what's the situation over there with Yang Xuechen?"
"Huo dieying is fighting to save her mother. Her mood is very unstable. She often quarrels with General Yang. They are in a cold war."
"It's a coincidence that it has damaged 100000 troops. My brother is not impatient to invite Huo dieying to the capital to talk about the past. It seems that he wants to make a fuss by catching Huo dieying's mother."
"Liang Wang, shall we secretly send someone to kill Huo dieying's mother?" Mingxin asked in a low voice.
Xiao Jinshu shook his head: "this kind of dirty thing will dirty our hands, and will completely destroy the brotherhood between Yang Xuechen and me."
"It's the rashness of my subordinates." When I heard it, I was shocked.
Xiao Jinshu's eyes were fixed, and he was absorbed in the direction of Yang Xuechen's courtyard.
"Ma'am, do you really want to continue the cold war with the general?" Chan Yuan made a gesture to express her meaning one by one.
Huo dieying, who has been together with Chanyuan for a long time and has learned to speak dumb, said angrily: "all of them know the news that my mother was arrested by Xiao Jinliang, but no one told me that they just want to use me to do things for them. They are too selfish!"
"The general also said that he didn't think about how to tell you. After all, all the people are in Xiao Jinliang's hands. He also said that he would personally go to the capital with you to see Xiao Jinliang and rescue the old lady." Chanyuan is dying, so she can only try her best to speak out all the words Yang Xuechen secretly taught her.
Huo dieying looks at the direction of the door and shouts: "if you have the ability to show up, what's the matter if you always rely on Chanyuan to deliver a message?"
Yang Xuechen, who has been anxiously waiting outside the door, hears Huo dieying's ha, pushes the door and comes in, with a rare seriousness on her face: "let's go to the capital to see Xiao Jinliang and save our mother."
"Do you really want to leave Xiliang? Don't you worry that Xiao Jinshu won't let people go? " In the face of Yang Xuechen's confession, Huo dieying asked for a moment.
Yang Xuechen looks into a moment of embarrassment, said with a bitter smile: "loyalty and friendship are difficult in ancient and modern times, besides, it is such a difficult time for him, I naturally do not want to leave, but your mother is also because of him, I must rescue her with you."
"I've long thought that you and Xiao Jinshu are brothers. We are husband and wife. It's a kind of harm for me to use husband and wife's friendship to force you. I want to save my mother myself. You can help your brother's great cause."
"I'm not a person who is easy to be soft on women, and I won't say flattering words, but you are my family in my life, and your mother is also my mother. When something goes wrong, naturally we have to bear it and talk about each other."
Yang Xuechen said and took Huo dieying's hand: "let's go to see Xiao Jinshu. Many things must be solved face to face."
When Huo dieying and Yang Xuechen appear together in Xiao Jinshu's study, there are two hot refreshments on the table. It seems that he has been waiting for them for a long time.
"I know your intention, but I have something to ask you for today's tea and snacks. As for Mrs. Yang, your mother, I will ask the people in the capital to rescue her." Xiao Jinshu finished, took out a blood red gem from his arms and put it on the table in front of Huo dieying.
Huo dieying suspiciously picked up the blood ruby on the table, looked at the transparent treasure in front of her, and gently sniffed the fragrance. Suddenly, she felt her brain sank, and fell unsteadily to the ground. In her mind, there was a scene in which her mother was stabbed to death by Xiao Jinliang, which made her scream and the blood ruby fell to the ground.
"Be careful!" Yang Xuechen immediately pulled Huo dieying's body and pulled her back to the chair.
Xiao Jinshu picked up the blood ruby on the ground and said with a smile, "this is the holy stone of Mosuo people in southwest Liangzhou. It is said that they have lost it for a long time. Our King spent a lot of trouble and paid a high price to buy it from the antique merchants. You should send this gem back to Mosuo people as a gift. Of course, you should also invite 50000 strong men from their tribe to our king's command."
"Your Highness, are you making terms with us?" Huo dieying has been thinking about her mother in her heart. She is very dissatisfied with Xiao Jinshu's cheeky behavior.
Xiao Jinshu said with a smile: "well, you can think so. After all, you and General Yang are entering the capital. It's wishful thinking that you want to get away safely, but I can save your mother with the least cost.""Your Highness, you are so kind. Can you really save me?" Huo dieying obviously maintains a skeptical attitude. Now she is bent on saving her mother. She really has no patience to spend a little time with the people in front of her.
Xiao Jinshu obviously saw Huo dieying's anger, so he didn't let her wait any longer. He promised: "I promise to save your mother, but now it's time for us to live or die. Xiao Jinliang lost 100000 troops, and he took away two alliance partners of our king by taking advantage of your marriage to lose the effect of Bailing girl's blood. Unfortunately, those two fell with the wind I've already been killed by my king. "
"I believe that the 20000 troops have now fallen back into the hands of the king. After Xiao Jinliang received the news, he really didn't know what terrible things he would do."
Xiao Jinshu finish, see Huo dieying's face become more anxious, almost immediately burst up, every time by Yang Xuechen.
"It's not easy to save your mother from Xiao Jinliang's eyes and send her to Xiliang in 20 days."
Huo dieying's heart is extremely struggling. When she is hesitating, she feels her wrist firmly grasped. Looking back, Yang Xuechen nods to her.
"Well, if I don't see my mother within 20 days, I will take Yang Xuechen away." Huo dieying's bad way back.
Xiao Jinshu sighed silently, "OK."
