Chapter 165 Recognition
There were no outsiders in the tent at this time.
Xie Lingxi thought for a moment, then reached out and took off the ancient and mysterious mask. "It is indeed your son. Treat his wounds first, and I will discuss something with you."
"It's really you..." This time it was Xie Pingbei who was shocked.
He knew that Xie Lingxi was a well-known playboy, but he also felt that although this child was a playboy, he had never done anything to bully the common people, and was actually a promising talent.
The current situation of the Xie family does not require him to make progress, so no one interferes.
But I didn’t expect…
His son has become so successful without telling him?
Xiao Nanxing was a little surprised. Why did the young master confront the old prince? But the young master must have his reasons for confronting him.
He no longer needed to pretend and stepped forward to treat Xie Pingbei's injury:
"Your Majesty, please sit down first. The wound needs to be treated..."
Xie Pingbei sat down in a daze, and Xiao Nanxing skillfully took out medicine to clean his wound.
Xie Lingxi looked at Xie Pingbei and said in a deep voice:
"The Xun family army is here, Hanmen Pass is in danger."
The Xun family troops guarding Hanmen Pass have all left, leaving the defense empty.
Originally, Beimo wanted to pretend to surrender in order to buy time to recuperate, but now they assassinated Xie Pingbei...
With such an erratic behavior, Daxia would never accept their surrender and would have to continue fighting!
"The news hasn't been sent back to Beimo yet, but they should receive it soon. By the time you transfer troops from the front, it will be too late." Xie Lingxi continued:
"There are people from Wanjin Commercial Bank near Hanmen Pass. Please issue an order to transfer the guards from Wanjin Commercial Bank to take over Hanmen Pass and pretend that the defense is empty."
Seeing the Xun family army here, Xie Lingxi immediately realized an imminent crisis.
If Beimo attacks Hanmen Pass, they will be able to advance straight into the city!
He has his people in the northern border.
There are elite personnel from Wanjin Trading Company near the passes guarded by the four major generals.
He had long been on guard against spies.
But before, it could not be determined which of the four major general families it was.
"You make sense." Xie Pingbei nodded in agreement, but he was still shocked when he looked at his son.
Is the man in front of him who is in charge of the country really his good-for-nothing son?
Xie Pingbei even rubbed his eyes, feeling as if he was hallucinating.
If this wasn't his own son, he would naturally not feel comfortable handing over Hanmenguan to an outsider.
But since this is my son...
Then you can rest assured.
Xie Pingbei wrote a transfer order, temporarily recruiting the guards of Wanjin Commercial Bank to guard Hanmen Pass, and stamped his own seal on the transfer order.
in this way……
Wanjin Commercial Bank can then legitimately take over Hanmen Pass.
Jiang Rong did not interrupt their layout and arrangements. She agreed with Xie Lingxi's arrangement very much. Although Beimo in the previous life did not rebel at this time, it was very likely that Beimo would attack Hanmen Pass in this life.
Because they had successfully assassinated the old prince in the previous life, no one knew that Beimo had murdered the old prince.
Beimo successfully negotiated peace with Daxia, and after a year of recuperation, it was ready to rebel against Daxia again.
Since the assassination attempt on the Northern King has failed in this life, Daxia must attack this capricious barbarian.
Then Beimo is likely to strike first.
The defense of Hanmen Pass was weak, which was their best choice for a surprise attack.
But now...
Wanjin Trading Company quietly took over the defense of Hanmen Pass and will definitely give Beimo a surprise!
Xie Lingxi took the transfer order written by Xie Pingbei, handed it to Jingzhe, and asked him to send it away immediately by carrier pigeon.
The most important things have been arranged.
Xie Pingbei finally came back to his senses from the huge shock. His eyes lingered on Xie Lingxi's face for a long time. He had a thousand words to ask his son. He glanced at the cloaked woman beside him and asked:
"Then who is this person...?"
Jiang Rong took off his cloak and bowed, "Daughter-in-law greets father-in-law!"
"The girl you kidnapped?" Xie Pingbei was surprised.
He had also heard about his son's abduction of a woman in the northern border. It was said that the woman had a childhood sweetheart, but was forcibly abducted into the mansion by his son with a marriage certificate.
When Xie Pingbei heard the news, they had already gotten married.
That's right.
The old concubine did not inform him of such a big event as her son's marriage.
Anyway, he couldn't come back in time because he was guarding the border. In the eyes of the old concubine, she couldn't rely on him to do anything about Xie Lingxi's marriage. She could just tell him about it when she had time.
Xie Pingbei was shocked when he heard the news. Although his son was a playboy, he had never bullied the people before. He immediately wrote a letter to ask the old empress dowager what was going on.
The old concubine only replied him with one sentence: guard the border well and don't listen to rumors.
Later, news came out that neither his son nor his daughter-in-law were good people.
Sounds like a good match.
Xie Lingxi was silent for a moment, raised his hand and put on the mask. What he said...
"Thanks to the Queen Mother for granting us this marriage. It's a match made in heaven." Jiang Rong replied with a faint smile.
Xie Pingbei looked at Jiang Rong, then at Xie Lingxi, feeling very relieved.
My son has become successful and married a very loving wife. As a father, how can I not be happy?
He didn't spend much time with Xie Lingxi, but it's not that he didn't care about him. He just wasn't good at expressing himself and had always been paying attention to his son silently.
Just like Xie Lingxi has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on Northern Xinjiang.
In this respect, the father and son are strangely similar. They both keep silent and care for each other silently.
"Young master, a Beimo princess was found in the tent." Chushu stepped forward to report.
As they were cleaning up the battlefield, they discovered a Northern Desert man in a tent.
Xie Pingbei explained, "This is an envoy sent by Beimo. Don't kill him yet. Bring him back to the capital, maybe he can be of use."
If the assassination had happened, the princess would have been silenced.
The Khan had many children and did not care about the life or death of this one.
And as an abandoned pawn of Beimo, she is also useful to Daxia.
Xie Lingxi said calmly, "Whatever you want to do. Then lock her up first."
"Yes!" Chushu took the order and retreated.
He couldn't let outsiders see him and Jiang Rong, so the princess was locked up for the time being.
…
Cleaned up the battlefield.
It was dawn.
They dug pits and buried their dead comrades on the spot, and then burned the enemy's bodies.
Xie Pingbei's injuries have been treated.
He is wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
He stood in front of the tombstone and poured a glass of wine, "Everyone, have a safe journey."
His face looked very heavy.
He gradually became resolute. He would not let them die in vain!
"Your Majesty! Hanmen Pass is now under defense, we must hurry to dispatch troops..." Deputy General Chen asked. They didn't know that Hanmen Pass had already been deployed.
Xie Pingbei nodded, "Well, pass the order down and mobilize troops for defense."
This is the appropriate action to take on the surface.
Deputy General Chen took the order and went down to make arrangements.
At the same time, Xie Pingbei's memorial suing the Xun family and Beimo was also sent to the capital in an urgent manner over a thousand miles.
…
In the capital city.
When the emperor received Xie Pingbei's memorial, he sighed with a hint of regret.
Xun Shiquan is useless.
And what about the Wanjin Commercial Bank? He didn't believe in such nonsense as paying for employment.
Last time, this force protected Xie Lingxi in Southern Xinjiang...
He has seen through it!
Obviously, Wanjin Trading Company is Xie Pingbei's private power.
The Xie family is not in a good position to take any action, and they need to make long-term plans.
Now, I have to give Xie Pingbei an explanation first.
"Come here, pass on my oral order. Xun Shiquan colluded with Beimo to murder the Northern King. The entire Xun family will be imprisoned! The Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Mingxin Department will jointly try the case!" The emperor ordered in a deep voice.
