Xie Guanying said softly, "His Highness wants to defend Beiliang and is willing to draw a circle around it. Whether outsiders understand it or not, it's a choice he has no other choice. I don't appreciate this, but since he's the son of Great General Xu Xiao, I understand. Thus, after this choice, even if Beiliang and Western Shu can't become allies, they won't become mortal enemies. It's pointless to fight over personal feelings. It's meaningless and meaningless. "
Xie Guanying stared at Hsu Fengnian and said with a smile, "It's just like how the six of us are drinking tea today. The aftertaste is endless and not wine. If a jar of strong wine is opened and finished, we'll be dead drunk. We'll drink to our heart's content, but we'll have a headache the next day."
Hsu Fengnian only asked one question, "Has Sir Xie ever thought that millions more people will die in the Central Plains?"
Xie Guanying fell into silence. After a long while, he asked in return, "Then have you ever thought about how to truly inherit Xu Xiao's deep will to destroy the foundation of the powerful clans?"
Hsu Fengnian laughed coldly, "Sir Xie wants to say that from the Great Emperor Qin's State to the Great Feng Dynasty and the Nine Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn, there hasn't been a single legitimate emperor of the Central Plains born from humble beginnings? Only with such an emperor can Xu Xiao trample over the Central Plains be considered a success? "
Hsu Fengnian put down his teacup and said slowly, "Or according to Sir Xie's words, it's meaningful?"
Xie Guanying countered, "When the Great Qin was hegemonic, Luo Yang was China's land. When the Great Feng Dynasty was in power, Qingzhou was the Central Plains. When it came to Liyang, Jiangnan was the Central Plains. If one day, millions or even tens of millions of people die, but we can annex all of Beimang and make the northwest of Beiliang become the Central Plains, what's wrong with that? After we succeed, we'll win hundreds of years of peace under the heavens. The more people who die today, the fewer people who die in the future. "
Shaking his head, Hsu Fengnian replied in a deep voice, "There are some accounts that can't be settled like this."
Xie Guanying didn't get angry because of Hsu Fengnian's rebuttal. Instead, he said with a relaxed smile, "It's said that His Highness never makes a losing deal. It's the same with the Six-pearl Bodhisattva in Mount Lantuo in the Western Region, Xuanyuan Qingfeng in the Great Snow Plateau in Mount Hui, Kou Jianghuai, the deputy general of Liangzhou under the pseudonym Hsu Fengnian, and even more so with the little girl named Liu Nerong from the Fish-dragon Gang. Before coming to Lingzhou, I made a bet with King of Shu on whether or not you would let Huyan Daguan appear openly and in the end, I lost. From this, it can be seen that although His Highness's trip to the south looks aggressive, it is actually quite sincere. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Mr. Xie is a schemer, but not a shrewd businessman. You don't understand how I do business with people. Moreover, Mr. Xie is not as good as Huang San Jia. All these years, you've only learned from others. Huang San Jia treated the Spring and Autumn Period like a field of crops. Mr. Xie, in the end, you are just a book reader. In the first half of your life, you are far from being a writer. The strategist of the Spring and Autumn Period, Huang San Jia, my master Li Yishan, Yuan Benxi, Nalan Youci, and even Zhang Julu who isn't strictly a strategist. They are all more … less restricted than Mr. Xie. After all, it's better to have no books than to believe in books. Of course, when Mr. Xie was born, you couldn't stand the loneliness and tried to make up for yourself. Therefore, you looked all over the world and flipped through the pages of the Spring and Autumn Period books. Only then did you come to the Western Shu that hasn't been successful since ancient times. You wanted to start something new. "
Xie Guanying's expression froze.
Xie Guanying felt as if he had fallen into a fog. He didn't understand what this person surnamed Xu was talking about. Why would Mr. Xie, who was good at maintaining his composure, get angry?
Hsu Fengnian suddenly turned to look at her and asked with a naughty smile, "Aunt Xie, you don't understand, right?"
Xie Guanying's chest suddenly felt stuffy and short of breath.
Tantai Pingjing smiled knowingly.
As the person best at observing energy in the world, she only needed a few clues to find the secrets of the heavens. For example, Huang San Jia's identity as a "writer" and Xie Guanying's responsibility as an "endorser". Huang San Jia did not change the overall situation, but changed the small details. In the end, he did not die early, but endured until he was seventy years old. This could be called a good death. This was enough to make Xie Guanying, who had been diligently endorsing books, feel angry. It was like two examinees in the same year. One had used a loophole in the imperial examinations to easily become a jinshi, while the other had taken the exam and thought they were of equal talent. How could he not be angry? Now, there was another chance in front of him. So the latter wanted to fight. He didn't just want to beat Huang San Jia, he wanted to beat Xun Ping, Yuan Benxi, Li Yishan, Nalan Youci, and Zhao Changling. He wanted to win with a clear conscience. Saints stood at thirty, did not have doubts at forty, knew destiny at fifty, listened to at sixty, did as the heart wished at seventy, and did not overstep the rules.
The reason that Tantai Pingjing had left Liangzhou to Lingzhou was because she and Xie Guanying, who was half a peer, were on the opposite side. She thought that Xie Guanying's actions were "overstepping the rules"! As to Xie Guanying's capture of the Western Shu serpent dragon, that was just a subtle sign that the two would part ways. However, she had not expected this day to come so quickly.
Xie Guanying, who had been exposed, laughed and said in a casual tone, "Wang Ye says Zhao Dun died early. I want to say Zhao Changling died early."
He added, "Li Yishan died late."
Hsu Fengnian said expressionlessly, "As strategists, Yuan Benxi died late."
Xie Guanying looked at this young person and laughed. He asked, "Then dare I ask, did I also die late?"
Hsu Fengnian did not speak, but Xu Yanbing and Tantai Pingjing stood up at the same time.
Xie Guanying did not fear this tense atmosphere at all. Instead, she felt the pleasure of wanting to see the world in chaos. As to her own life, she did not care about it. Also, she did not feel that standing next to him, she would
Be in danger.
She had missed this man's spring and autumn. She did not want to miss any of his games to fight for the world.
Xie Guanying thought that Xu Yanbing and the master of the Guanyin Sect of the South Sea would fight. She guessed wrong again today. Tantai Pingjing, who was also a woman, looked at her like she was an idiot and asked, "Wait here for death?"
Xie Guanying was about to speak when she was carried out of the courtyard by the tall woman in white like a chicken. What shocked Xie Guanying even more was that the person who left with them, and the person who should have stayed in the courtyard for that family.
Xu Yanbing, who was supposed to be their helper.
Could it be that the one surnamed Xu wanted to fight one against two?
Was he crazy?
Tantai Pingjing casually threw Xie Guanying aside and looked at the courtyard. She asked, "Is there really no problem?"
Xu Yanbing said calmly, "The worst situation is for Huyan Daguan to rush back."
Tantai Pingjing said emotionally, "Personally, this is the worst situation, but for Beiliang, this is the worst situation."
