Tang Yin and others passed through the woods to avoid the Zhen people's pursuit. Going further, they reached Pingxi. Going northwest from Pingxi, they could reach Jishui. After crossing Jishui, they could reach Heping County controlled by the Feng people. As long as they reached the Heping County can sit back and relax.
However, this journey was not peaceful. From time to time, Zhen people's ships followed them. Fortunately, Xiao Chu was very familiar with the terrain in the Pingxi area. Through his guidance, the small boat on which Tang Yin and others were riding was able to escape without any danger. After several waves of Zhenren's pursuit.
That evening, the sky was overcast and there was another heavy rain. Ah Si stayed at the stern of the boat to steer the boat, while Ah San held the oar and rowed. Tang Yin, Xiao Xiang and Xiao Chu all huddled in the canopy of the boat. Seeing Xiao Xiang shivering from time to time, Tang Yin thoughtfully took off his coat and handed it to Xiao Xiang.
Xiao Xiang hesitated for a moment, then took it, put it on her body, and thanked her softly. She turned her head to look outside, and then said sadly: "I don't understand why Zhenren hates me so much and wants to kill me!"
Tang Yin smiled, then patted Xiao Chu beside him and said, "His former eldest brother was named Liao Peng. He was a native of Linqiao County. Because his wife was beautiful, he was attracted by the local Sichuan officials. In order to occupy him, he His wife, the Sichuan official, framed his family. In the end, he was lucky enough to escape. After that, he became a bandit. Later, Li Shu rebelled. Although he did not join the rebels, his younger brother did. , as a result, he died in Cuihuan Mountain during the expedition to Sichuan."
What he said was learned through Liao Peng¡¯s memory. Xiao Chu on the side also nodded while listening, indicating that Tang Yin was right. Tang Yin looked straight at Xiao Xiang and said: "Although Sichuan people always pay attention to etiquette, they haven't done many good things in Zhendi. Zhen people have hated Sichuan people for a long time. Now that they seize the opportunity, they will naturally take advantage of this." The hatred is doubled and transferred to your head. Of course there is a reason why Liao Peng treats you like that."
I see! The hatred of seizing his wife and killing his son, no wonder Liao Peng looked at him as if he wanted to swallow him in one gulp. I don¡¯t know how many people have the same experience as Liao Peng.
Thinking about it, Xiao Xiang swallowed. Now that she recalls the scene at that time, she feels chills in her bones.
She said quietly: "I thought that this time the people in Linqiao County rebelled collectively because someone was secretly causing trouble"
Hearing her words, Xiao Chu immediately raised his head, as if he wanted to speak, but his mouth opened and he only made a sound.
Tang Yin didn't pay attention to him, shrugged and said: "In my opinion, Zhen people have too deep grudges against Sichuan people, and they will burst out once there is a chance. The last time it was Li Shu, this time it was Linqiao County. People, I¡¯m afraid there will be more in the future.¡±
Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked directly at Xiao Xiang, and said seriously: "The Sichuan people are no longer suitable to govern Zhendi, and they are unable to govern Zhendi well. You should let go and hand over all Zhendi to Feng Guo. From now on, you will no longer have to face those mobs, and no matter what happens to Zhendi in the future, Fengguo will naturally be responsible for it!"
Xiao Xiang met Tang Yin's gaze and smiled bitterly. She has no feelings for Zhendi and Zhenren. The reason why she has been fighting for the ownership of Zhendi with Tang Yin is that she doesn't want Tang Yin to get what he wants, and for the sake of the emperor and herself, she doesn't want Feng Guo's family to dominate. . After what happened in Linqiao County this time, she was completely disappointed with Zhendi and even Zhenren. Taking up half of Zhendi would not only not improve their own strength, but would also be a huge hidden danger for Sichuan people. A fatal hidden danger that could destroy Sichuan people at any time. It's just that now she can't let go if she wants to. She has already reported the division of Zhendi to the emperor. If she wants to give up half of Zhendi, she can no longer just nod her head and agree, but also needs the emperor's nod of approval.
She lowered her head and said quietly: "As early as a month ago, I reported the results of the division of Zhendi to the emperor."
Tang Yin was startled for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and sighed: "You are so quick to claim credit!"
Xiao Xiang asked in a low voice: "Are you blaming me?"
Tang Yin was happy, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since I have reported it to the emperor, I will find a way to get half of the land from the emperor. However, you still need your cooperation in this matter."
Xiao Xiang frowned and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Tang Yin said bluntly: "Make it clear to the emperor that the conflict between the Sichuan people and the Zhen people is too deep. It is now impossible to manage the Zhen land and the Zhen people. The Sichuan officials will evacuate from Zhennan. As for who will manage Zhennan in the future, Let the emperor choose Gaoming!"
Xiao Xiang blinked and said with a smile: "Brother Wang is asking me to persuade the emperor to incorporate Zhennan into your Feng Kingdom!"
Tang Yin also laughed and asked, "Does Sister Wang have a better way?"
Xiao Xiang was silent. ?After thinking for a while, she murmured: "Maybe, this is the only way." Although she was very reluctant, Xiao Xiang understood through this incident that she had to let go, otherwise, sooner or later, Sichuan people would be You have to be dragged to death by Zhenren.
This time Xiao Xiang was in danger in Linqiao County, which made her decide to give up her virginity. Tang Yin's rescue at the critical moment made Xiao Xiang grateful to him. At this time, Xiao Xiang no longer wanted to argue with Tang Yin. , since Tang Yin wanted the ownership of the entire Zhendi so much, she just wanted to be a favor and give him Zhennan as well.
The fate of Zhendi and even Zhenren was decided by Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang on this inconspicuous boat.
There was no talking on the way. Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang arrived at Heping County safely, and then they set off back to Xitang. After arriving in Xitang, Xiao Xiang took the initiative to order all Sichuan troops stationed in and outside the city to evacuate Xitang, and made preparations for the army to retreat to the mainland.
After that, Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang did not stay in Xitang for too long, but returned to Shangjing together.
After arriving in Shangjing, Xiao Xiang followed Tang Yin's wishes and proposed to Emperor Yin Zhun that all Sichuan people would evacuate Zhennan and return to Sichuan.
After hearing Xiao Xiang's words, Yin Zhun's expression suddenly changed. She stood up subconsciously and asked dumbfounded: "Why did the King of Sichuan say this? Not long ago, didn't you say in your letter to me, Zhen The land is very important to me, and I must not let it go and let the Feng Kingdom annex it all? Why do I suddenly want to give up the land now?"
Xiao Xiang shook his head and sighed, and said: "Zhenren's grudge against me, the Sichuan people, is so deep that it cannot be resolved no matter what. This time I went to Linqiao County to provide disaster relief. Not only did I not get the support of the local people, but I also It triggered a rebellion among the local people, and if Brother Feng Wang hadn't arrived in time, I might have died in Linqiao County!"
Yin Zhun paced back and forth anxiously in front of Xiao Xiang. He said, "I have also heard about the chaos caused by the mob in Linqiao County. It is just a small number of unruly people causing chaos. The King of Sichuan must not be discouraged because of this." , I have the idea of ??giving up my virginity!"
"A few unruly people?" Xiao Xiang chuckled, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty was not present at the time, and it is understandable that he did not understand the situation at that time. It was definitely not the work of a few unruly people, but the whole city and the whole county. The people spontaneously rebelled collectively, and all the five thousand guards around me were killed. Even the elders of Shenchi were unable to stop the mob. Does your Majesty still think that it was just a few unruly people?"
"This" Yin Zhen was speechless. He wanted to appease Xiao Xiang and let her change her decision, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind, and I hope your Majesty will grant you permission!" Xiao Xiang raised her hand and gave a deep salute.
Yin Zhun rolled his eyes, changed the topic, and suddenly said: "It is said that the King of Sichuan was able to escape smoothly this time, and it is said that King Feng played a major role!"
Xiao Xiang's face straightened and he said matter-of-factly: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Brother Feng Wang knew that I was in danger in Linqiao County. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't bring any soldiers with him. He went to Linqiao County in civilian clothes to rescue him. If there was no Brother Feng Wang, the consequences are really unimaginable!"
Yin Zhun gritted his teeth secretly. What he was most worried and afraid of was that King Feng and King Chuan would join forces. There are too many fears, conflicts and interest entanglements between the two kingdoms of Feng and Sichuan. As a result, the Feng King and the Sichuan King are like water and fire. He works around and threads the needle to make the two forces check and balance each other and worry about each other. In this way, his throne Only then can you sit firmly. But this time, Tang Yin suddenly took the wrong medicine and went to Linqiao County to rescue Xiao Xiang. Now it seems that the relationship between Feng King and Sichuan King has been greatly improved. If they decide to join forces, then the whole world will be How can he and his throne be preserved?
Thinking of this, Yin Zhun stirred up a shiver in Lingling, and her thoughts suddenly changed.
After a while, he chuckled and said to Xiao Xiang: "King Sichuan must have been frightened by the mob in Zhendi this time, but it doesn't matter. Prince Sichuan will go back to the palace to have a good rest. I will discuss it with Prince Sichuan again in a few days. This matter!"
"Your Majesty, I have already said that there is no need to discuss this matter again" Xiao Xiang frowned.
"Hey, King Sichuan should go back and rest first. I need time to think about such a big matter!" Yin Zhun said with a smile.
Seeing that Yin Zhun didn¡¯t want to talk about it anymore today, Xiao Xiang had no choice but to bow and leave.
Looking at Xiao Xiang¡¯s leaving figure, Yin Zhen¡¯s eyes gradually became deep and at the same time he slowly clenched his fists.
Tang Yin can't control it no matter what. Because of this, he must never let Xiao Xiang escape from his control. No matter what method he thinks of, he must let Xiao Xiang stand on his side.
His mind was racing, and he stood there motionless. After a full two-quarters of an hour, an idea flashed in his mind, and he came up with a clever plan, which could be described as an earth-shattering 'wonderful plan'.?¡¯.
Speaking of Xiao Xiang, after leaving the palace, she immediately saw Tang Yin waiting outside the palace gate. She walked forward quickly with a smile and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang is here specially to wait for me?"
Tang Yin nodded and asked, "How was the discussion between Sister Wang and the Emperor about Zhendi?"
Xiao Xiang spread her hands and said: "The Emperor didn't agree, but he didn't reject it on the spot. He just asked me to go back and rest, and he would think about it carefully."
