Chapter 135 "What's going on over there at Pingxi Dam?"
In the courtyard of Sang Mansion, Xuan Lin was sitting in front of the stone table admiring flowers, and suddenly asked this question.
Commander Fang cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the prince, I found nothing unusual."
Xuan Lin lightly touched the table with his fingers, doubts flashing in his eyes.
Should not be ah.
With Wen Yunxi's temper, he would never expose the matter like this.
After all, he slapped Su Qiao in the face in public and was openly hostile to her. She shouldn't be so calm.
It's very unlike her.
"Did you see her figure?" Xuan Lin continued to ask.
Commander Fang called his men, and a guard came over, "Your Majesty, we specially found some idle men to come over, but they all said they had not seen Doctor Wen."
Ever since Wen Yunxi left angrily that day, Commander Fang had sent people to keep an eye on Pingxi Dam. The guards were easily thrown out, so he bribed some idle men to take turns.
The idle men did not dare to offend Pingxiba, but they were still happy to get hundreds of copper coins just for a few walks without doing anything.
No one can live with money.
Therefore, these days, even if people change every day, there are still free men for them to choose from.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Wen may have gone to the Shuiyi Clan. Their winter celebration is coming soon. As their honored guest, Doctor Wen should go there early."
As Mr. Liu spoke, he felt greatly relieved. It would be great if Wen Yunxi was gone. If Wen Yunxi was gone, he wouldn't have a head-on conflict with the prince. Maybe there would be some room for maneuver.
Publicly or privately, Manager Liu did not want Wen Yunxi and Xuan Lin to fall out completely.
Doesn't this give Sang Fu an opportunity?
Commander Fang also thought so. He was not afraid of Wen Yun's current power, but he was frightened by Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun's performance in the previous attack was so amazing that he felt that as long as Zhu Yun thought about it, it would be easy for him to defeat Jin Xuan Lin.
Fortunately, Zhuo Yun followed Wen Yunxi, and at least she would not kill people at will. Otherwise, no one could stop her when she sent Zhuo Yun to attack.
They are like this, and Sang Fu is in trouble.
Xuan Lin did not speak on this matter, he just lowered his eyes and glanced at the orchids.
"What time is it?"
Manager Liu quickly said: "Your Majesty, we just arrived at Youshi."
Xuan Lin stood up and said, "Let's go."
A few days have passed by and today is already the Sangfu birthday banquet.
After the trial ended that day, Blackstone City began to decorate with lights and decorations for the birthday banquet. In just a few days, the city was filled with red lanterns. It was obvious that Sang Fu was preparing to hold a grand party.
As the Xuanfu envoy and the chief of the Zhanyue clan, it is understandable that Sang Fu's birthday banquet should be so grand. In previous years, it was almost the same scale, but this year it was prepared in a high-profile manner.
When Xuan Lin led people to the entrance of the banquet, the courtyard was already bustling with people.
Sang Fu stood at the entrance of the courtyard to greet the guests, with only two guards standing behind him. He seemed to have concluded that Zhuo Yun had returned to the Shuiyi tribe and relaxed the surrounding vigilance.
Commander Fang chuckled: "This scene is quite grand. It is not inferior to those aristocratic families in the Imperial City. They are indeed the overlords of this party."
"It's not as good as that. Look at that place where the lantern is not arranged properly. There is also that place where the ribbon is left too long."
Manager Liu shook his head in disapproval and bluntly pointed out the mistakes several times.
Sang Fu really liked Han culture. Not only did he copy his mansion, but he also imitated his birthday banquets after those of the nobles in the imperial city. However, he was still far behind after first glance they look similar, but upon closer inspection they are all small mistakes.
"As long as you can, why don't you help him arrange it." Commander Fang sneered.
This person is like a turtle, and he is picky about everything. The birthday party is held at night, and everyone is drinking and eating meat. Who cares whether the ribbon is long or whether the lantern is hung correctly.
Someone noticed them and quickly saluted Xuan Lin.
The news of Xuan Lin's arrival in Lanzhou had spread as early as five months ago, but he had always kept a low profile and his status was awkward, so no one took the initiative to visit him.
Now that he has recovered from his illness, he not only attended the opening ceremony of Qingzhu Hospital, but also personally presided over the Shanniu people's seizure of the throne. This undoubtedly sent a signal to everyone that he was about to start taking action. People with ideas can start taking action.
There are indeed a few wallflowers among them, and this time they came just to see Xuan Lin.
This is the case for Zalitie, the leader of the Windwash Clan.
As the leader of the Fengxi Clan, in addition to thinking about the Fengxi Clan, he also needs to think about himself.
When the Zhanyue tribe wanted to unify Lanzhou, he was very supportive. The Fengxi tribe was in an awkward position in Lanzhou. It was located in the middle of Lanzhou. Although it was convenient to be near the trading market of Heishiyuan, the terrain was peaceful and other people wanted to Beat them and use your troops to attack Huanglong.
In addition, the Fengxi tribe is better at planting. Like the Yanye tribe, there are many tribesmen, but only few who can fight.
Not far away is the Shuiyi tribe, and the cannibalistic Honglin tribe. Further away is the Zhanyue tribe, and further north are the ferocious Northern Four tribes.
A wolf in the front and a tiger in the back is not enough to describe him. There should be enemies on all sides, and they can easily take advantage of him.
Zalite was not a fool. He was very smart. He wandered among the neighbors and sent friendly cards to each one. After the unification of Lanzhou and the armistice, he was completely relieved. He no longer had to worry about waking up and the enemy had trampled them before going to bed every day. clan.
But Sangfu's ascendancy has a big drawback.
At first, like other clan leaders, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the officials being all Zhanyue clan members. It wasn't until various policies were introduced one after another to squeeze them step by step that he realized how wrong they were.
If they had known this, they should have united at that time and not let Sang Fu say anything.
Zalitie turned his head and looked at Xuan Lin, he finally waited for this opportunity.
The imperial court unexpectedly sent a vassal king over. He didn't understand the meaning at first, but after asking Mr. Hanwen, who was familiar with him, he found out that the vassal king was the biggest, and Sang Fu was obviously a low-ranking official.
How could you not seize such an opportunity?
But there was no news as soon as Xuan Lin arrived, and his location was only revealed later. However, it was obvious that he wanted to avoid Sang Fu, and he also heard that he was seriously ill. Zalitie had no choice but to give up and continue to wait for the opportunity.
Later, he saw Wen Yunxi again, but Wen Yunxi was only a woman after all, and if she fought with Sang Fu in such a big way, it would be easy for something to happen. He only wanted development and did not want to hang his head on his belt.
Fortunately, he continued to wait for Xuan Lin. Now Xuan Lin not only recovered from his illness, but also started to move frequently. It was obvious that he wanted to gain influence.
"Your Majesty, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Zalitie smiled to please.
Xuan Lin said, "If you don't talk about this today, you can come to me another day."
Zalitie smiled when he heard this. He was not angry at Xuan Lin's words, but felt more confident in his heart.
Talking privately means having a deep conversation, which is very dramatic.
Guajiana snorted. He had also dealt with Zaliti before. After all, they were not too far apart, and the two clans had quarreled over the food trade before.
Now they feel sympathy for each other, and I can only blame Sang Fu for being too ignorant.
In addition to being friendly to the few southern tribes who are married to each other and making them a lot of money, they continue to exploit these tribes.
How is that possible if you only want to eat meat for yourself and don’t give soup to others? ! (End of this chapter)
