Chapter 301: Xie Yuchuan is not a good person
The charcoal fire crackled in the cold winter weather.
There was a noisy sound of officials shouting outside. At this moment, Xie Yuchuan's words were beyond Xiong Jiushan's expectations.
Before coming, although he did not expect the fugitives from the Xie family to help him, based on his observation and understanding of the Xie family over the days, he knew that the Xie family was kind and righteous. This was also the reason why he repeatedly showed leniency to the Xie family during the escort process.
Someone as smart as Xie Yuchuan would not be unaware of this.
Xiong Jiushan didn't say anything, and Xie Yuchuan didn't say much either. The two of them were facing the brazier, pulling silently.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. What kind of person is General Xie? I believe that I, Xiong Jiushan, have some good judgment. I heard that the Xie family of the Protectorate Mansion has always been compassionate to their subordinates and caring for the people. In the face of life and death, I think they will not stand by and watch someone die. That's why I came to ask for the general's help. Could it be that I, Xiong Jiushan, am mistaken?"
Xie Yuchuan clasped his hands in front of him, and looked at Xiong Jiushan with a pair of calm black eyes.
Xiong Jiushan was confused by the determined and understanding gaze.
Xie Yuchuan looked at him for a while, but did not respond to Xiong Jiushan's indirect criticism of the Xie family's traditions.
Someone who almost died once.
Xie Yuchuan had never cared about those false reputations before, and after the catastrophe, how could he be burdened by such reputation? Xiong Jiushan had probably been working in the capital for too long.
Xie Yuchuan didn't blame him.
He picked up a stick beside the charcoal brazier and stirred a few pieces of half-burned charcoal. Among the exiles now, the only one who could bear such treatment was probably Xiong Jiushan.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Xiong Jiushan knew in his heart that this kind of temptation involving the reputation of the Xie family would not have much effect on the young general who had experienced ups and downs in life.
Although he is much younger than him, he is more patient than him in his behavior and dealing with things.
Xiong Jiushan probably only cared about Xie Yuchuan. He saw that he was often shocked and panicked because of the matters concerning the Xie family's gods, but he didn't see him lose his composure in other important matters.
If the two of them were not getting along in the current situation, Xiong Jiushan would actually admire this young and famous general of the Xie family.
But what is the situation now?
Xiong Jiushan hopes that Xie Yuchuan can consider the overall situation.
If colds and flu are not treated in time, the consequences will be disastrous. Moreover, some people even have hidden snake venom wounds and are still recovering.
"Human life is of paramount importance and should not be taken lightly. Thank you, General."
Xie Yuchuan nodded, "Because of this, I hope you will reconsider. The Xie family's miraculous medicine did not come out of nowhere. You are well aware of this matter, so there is no need to explain it further."
"Then the Xie family doesn't want to care?"
"I didn't say anything." Xie Yuchuan smiled faintly, raised his eyes and said, "Sir, firstly, Yuchuan didn't tell the family god, and secondly, if the immortal family's magic medicine is made public, have you thought about the consequences?"
Xiong Jiushan narrowed his eyes at him and said, "I think you haven't done much to hide the fact that your Xie family's gods and miracles have happened along the way."
"It's better to be true or false so that others can't do anything. Be more cautious on the road. It's good for the Xie family and for the adults' mission."
Xiong Jiushan stared at him.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to give you in exchange?"
Xie Yuchuan said: "It depends on what your Excellency wants. My Xie family is free to do as they please."
Xiong Jiushan wanted to curse in his heart, but it depends on what he means.
What is Xie Yuchuan thinking? Do you really think he has no idea?!
"Besides the matter of suppressing the bandits at Panlong Ridge, you can raise any other concerns. As long as it's within my responsibilities, I will do my best to help." After saying this, he seemed to notice something and added, "If this matter requires reporting to the gods, I will prepare all the necessary offerings. I will do whatever you ask."
Xie Yuchuan looked at Xiong Jiushan, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, Xiong Jiushan knew very well what he was planning, but he just pretended to be stupid and wanted to get away with it.
Seeing him staring at him, Xiong Jiushan said, "General Xie has been in the army for many years and has led troops abroad. He probably doesn't understand the difficulties faced by us, the minor officials in the capital."
Xie Yuchuan shook his head and smiled.
"Sir Xiong, you are one level higher in rank and hold a responsibility far greater than mine. Regardless of the difference between you and me in this matter, you should understand this very well."
"Of course." Precisely because making a living is not easy, Xiong Jiushan is unwilling to get involved in the intrigues of those rich people. Why bother?
Xie Yuchuan lowered his head and stirred the charcoal fire. He was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head in a relaxed tone and asked Xiong Jiushan a question.
"Master Xiong, why are you leading the team escorting the fugitives northward?"
Xiong Jiushan didn't understand what he meant by this sudden sentence.
Xie Yuchuan sat up straight, his tone still calm, as if discussing nothing important. He casually said, "Historically, the escort of fugitives from Daliang has always been done by the officials of the various government offices dispatched by the prefectural government offices in the capital. Since Taizu founded the country, the occasions of dispatching personnel from the capital's barracks to escort them have been very rare."
Xiong Jiushan frowned deeply, and had a hunch that Xie Yuchuan was up to something, and he couldn't even guess correctly.
I can only remain silent and listen to what he has to say.
Since Xie Yuchuan mentioned this today, he didn't care at all. What did Xiong Jiushan think after hearing it?
"Just think that my Xie family's crimes are unforgivable and must be remanded in custody." Xie Yuchuan chuckled and said calmly, "If escorting my Xie family to exile in Liaozhou is a meritorious deed, with your status as a fifth-rank official, such an opportunity would not fall upon you. Those inside and outside the capital waiting to exchange me, Xie Yuchuan, for a path to success would have to line up outside the South City Gate."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Xiong Jiushan said in a deep voice.
"Then it's okay for me to tell you all."
Xiong Jiushan looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and said, "Since you have escorted the fugitives to Laozhou for handover, have you considered your own escape route?"
With his thick brows furrowed, Xiong Jiushan stared at Xie Yuchuan dangerously.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course." Xie Yuchuan's lips curled slightly, his eyes meaningful. "In the imperial prison, I, Xie Yuchuan, should have been carried out as a dead body. However, my ancestors' good deeds allowed me to communicate with the family gods and save my life."
"Now, in Daliang, apart from the family gods and relatives, no one would want me, Xie Yuchuan, to reach Liaozhou alive." He casually cracked his knuckles, his mind clear and his eyes bright, saying, "Liaozhou is bitterly cold. If I were to reach there alive, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountains? Either I die, or the Xie family will perish. Only by cutting the grass at its roots can we eliminate future troubles."
Xiong Jiushan stared at Xie Yuchuan with some surprise.
I cursed in my heart, what are you saying to me?!
Xie Yuchuan is not a good person!
He finally came to his senses and realized that Xie Yuchuan was dragging him into this!
He didn't come here to discuss an exchange with him. He was clearly trying to drag him into trouble under the pretext of an exchange.
Xie Yuchuan suddenly looked at him, "Sir, when and where do you plan to attack everyone in my Xie family?"
Xiong Jiushan: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
groove!
Xie Yuchuan didn't seem surprised at all by Xiong Jiushan's surprise.
