Chapter 176: Counsellor's Return
"Xue Xu is the pseudonym I often use, and it's not fake." Xue Guangxian said.
Qin Heng and Qin Zhao looked at each other. Xue Guangxian, this name sounds so familiar.
Yang Wei and Xu Zheng also fell into deep thought. They always felt that they should have heard of this name before.
"Brother, is he from the Southland?" Qin Zhao's reminder reminded Qin Heng of the old man who had humiliated the head of the Chen family, the largest clan in the Southland, and then calmly left three years ago? Who would have thought he'd actually come to the Northland and become a military advisor in the mountain stronghold?
Lü Songli and Qin Sheng had no reaction to the name. Lü Songli had traveled through time, and the original owner had no memory of such a person. Qin Sheng was young. When Xue Guangxian was doing big things, he was still young and didn't pay much attention to such things, let alone people from such a faraway place.
After knowing this person's identity, Qin Heng simply dismissed everyone and asked them to go about their own business.
"Mr. Xue, we know you." Qin Heng said to him.
Xue Guangxian was not surprised. He was mentally prepared when he heard the name.
He smiled and said, "It's just a little fame, not worth mentioning."
"No, Mr. Xue is too modest..." Qin Heng had never expected that the little old man they captured in Qinglong Village would actually be a big fish. Although he had guessed that he was not simple, he did not know that he was so extraordinary.
Xue Guangxian was a member of the Li people. The Li people and the Yue people, among other tribes, lived in the smoky and miasmic area in the southernmost part of Dali.
In the south, there are many clans and their power is complicated. The Chen family was originally a prominent local family, but later fell into the second-class family due to the disdain of their descendants. Many resources of the original family were divided up by several large families that were above them.
This was the current situation of the Chen family ten years ago. Later, their young patriarch Chen Jiaye took over the position of patriarch. It took the new patriarch Chen Jiaye ten years to bring the Chen family back to the ranks of top-notch families.
It is said that the Chen family in the South was able to rise again in the past decade and become the largest family in the South, and the contribution of the capable assistant Xue Guangxian was indispensable.
But later, no one knew what happened and the couple Chen Jiaye and Xue Guangxian broke up.
Xue Guangxian openly betrayed the Chen family and joined forces with several other families to attack the Chen family. That disaster directly reduced the Chen family's strength by 30% to 40%, causing them to almost fall from the ranks of the top-tier families. Now the Chen family is only at the bottom of the first-tier families.
Now three years have passed, and the Chen family still seems to have not recovered.
It is said that after that incident, Xue Guangxian left the South, and Chen Jiaye frantically searched for him, even offering a reward of 10,000 taels for him.
The current situation is obvious. The Chen family still hasn't found the person.
After Qin Heng's explanation, Lu Songli and Qin Sheng learned that Xue Guangxian had once been so prominent.
Everyone else looked at Xue Guangxian. In fact, they were quite curious about what had happened between Xue Guangxian and Chen Jiaye, the head of the Chen family, that made Xue Guangxian do such a drastic thing.
Lü Songli wasn't surprised that Xue Xu was from the south. She had many colleagues from the south in her past life. Even though Xue Xu had grown a mustache, he still had some Baiyue characteristics.
The Li people originated in the Western Han Dynasty. In ancient times, they lived in western Guangdong, eastern Guangxi, southern Guangxi and northern Vietnam. They were called Baiyue barbarians in ancient times.
Lu Songli knew all this because he visited the ancestral hall that they had preserved.
The Baiyue people are a very interesting ethnic group. Even in later generations, they like to worship gods.
In areas with a strong ethnic cultural atmosphere, if you ask young people to get up at five o'clock to go to work, they may be late and then resign. However, if you ask them to get up at five o'clock to worship the gods and welcome the master, they may arrive at the battlefield at three o'clock.
Xue Guangxian had been paying attention to Lu Songli's expression and found that when she learned that she was a Li person, her expression did not change at all, and there was not even a trace of contempt in her.
He was satisfied with this. He had made a wrong choice in his twenties, and this time, he would never allow himself to make the same mistake again.
"Since Mr. Xue intends to stay, we'll all be in this together. Apart from anything else, we must all share both good and bad times and not abandon our companions at will."
Here, the dispersed brothers went back to their own work in twos and threes.
When the deputy team dispersed just now, he comforted everyone and told them that Xue Xue's fate would be decided by those above them, and that they just needed to do their own thing. They thought about it and it made sense.
Hu Guangcong called out to his men, "Zhu Dazhuang, come here!"
Zhu Dazhuang came over jogging, "What's the matter, deputy captain?"
Hu Guangcong lowered his voice and asked, "Last night, were you sure that the boy wouldn't be killed by that blow of yours?"
Last night, before leaving, in order to buy their team more time, they knocked the boy unconscious before leaving.
When the prince saw this, he ordered someone to stab him in the chest, preferably close to the heart, but without killing him. This was the only reasonable thing to do.
Then he thought of Zhu Dazhuang and handed the stabbing task to him. He was in a hurry last night and was busy all the time after returning. Now that he has some free time, he must ask about the situation.
"Hey, Deputy Captain, don't worry. I used to be a pig butcher with thirty years of experience. I don't know how many pigs I've killed. I guarantee that the boy won't die with that blow!"
"Deputy Captain, you have to trust my skills. When I stabbed him, I missed his heart by half a knuckle. Don't worry, I promise I didn't hit his heart. I didn't even break the skin."
Bang! Hu Guangcong couldn't help it anymore and hit him.
Zhu Dazhuang covered his head and said, "Deputy Captain, why did you hit me?"
Hu Guangcong yelled at him, "You're only 32 this year, aren't you? You've been butchering pigs for 30 years? You could lift a butcher knife at the age of two? Why didn't you say you knew how to butcher pigs in your mother's womb?"
Zhu Dazhuang considered this possibility, "This - is not impossible." It's not surprising that he knows this skill, right?
Just make it up! "That's enough. It's enough for me to know that you didn't kill anyone." Hu Guangcong sent the man away. If he continued to talk, he would be pissed off to death by this brat.
In the subsequent reward and reward process, Xue Guangxian took the initiative to give up and not participate so as not to embarrass Lu Songli.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance team were pleased with his tact, but the brothers of Yang Wei's Escort Agency were not so confident because many of them had indeed drunk too much last night. Although they had tried their best and killed quite a few enemies, it was also a fact that they had gotten carried away by success.
Xue Guangxian didn't care about their attitude. What he pursued was never money or anything like that.
