Chapter 712 Scapegoat
Xie Wei didn't believe it.
What a joke. He went back this time to get promoted and make money. How could it be a dead end?
The man in front of him was the general of Pingzhou. As an enemy general, how could he believe what he said? Xie Wei comforted himself like this, but his heart kept sinking...
The order Xiao Kun received was to inform Xie Wei of the governor's speculation.
"General Xie, you and Xie Zhan are twins, right?" Xiao Kun was the first to point this out.
Xie Wei remained silent.
Xiao Kun continued, "Xie Zhan's current situation is extremely dangerous, you know this."
"But Xie Zhan is a man of great talent, and your emperor would be reluctant to see him die."
"Now is the time for peace talks, and Dali must give Pingzhou an explanation."
When Xiao Kun said this, Xie Wei already understood.
"So, under these conditions, the best solution is for you to die for Xie Zhan."
"Of course, all of this is speculation by our governor, and you can choose to believe it or not."
Xie Wei looked at Xiao Kun, as if trying to discern the truth of his words from his eyes.
Xiao Kun looked at him without any hesitation.
Xiao Kun's words were unbelievable, but Xie Wei knew in his heart that this was possible.
Not to mention that this possibility was speculated by Pingzhou Governor Lu Songli.
Who was Lu Songli? He was the one who always suppressed his good brother Xie Zhan. The two had fought countless times, and it could be said that as soon as Xie Zhan raised his butt, Lu Songli would definitely know what he was going to do.
Xie Wei thought about Xiao Kun's deduction and suddenly found a flaw. "Wait, it wouldn't be difficult for the Emperor and Xie Zhan to find a scapegoat with a similar appearance and figure."
Anyway, what Pingzhou will see in the end is just a corpse, and this corpse can still be used to do something useful, so he doesn't necessarily have to die, right?
A hope arose in Xie Wei's heart that he was not even aware of.
"You're right. In such a vast country like Dali, it's not difficult to find someone who looks or resembles you. But have you ever thought that if you search everywhere, the news will definitely leak out..."
"Besides, this way, Xie Zhan will go from being in the open to being in the dark, and become a commoner."
Xiao Kun's words once again shattered his hopes.
Xie Wei understood that he or they not only wanted his life, but also his identity.
After figuring it out, he laughed out loud, "Hahahaha——"
"Since the war between Dali and Pingzhou was caused by Xie Zhan, then let Xie Zhan die."
Why did he have to die in place of Xie Zhan? Was it because he and Xie Zhan were twins? So he deserved to die?
Xiao Kun looked at his red eyes, feeling sorry for the person in front of him, and was also shocked by the cruelty of Song Mo and Xie Zhan.
Xie Wei has gone from being extremely confused at the beginning to being completely disheartened now.
What Xie Wei found most difficult to accept was, "Does Governor Lu think Song Mo also knows about this?"
He no longer even wanted to call him the emperor.
"Our governor said Song Mo should know."
Xie Wei was stunned. Yes, Song Mo valued Xie Zhan. Even if someone died for him and Xie Zhan kept his identity secret, it was still not enough. He also needed to give Xie Zhan power so that Xie Zhan could use his greater abilities to serve him.
The relationship between the king and his subject, Song Mo and Xie Zhan, is truly profound.
But why treat him like this?
He was not surprised that Xie Zhan treated him like this. At most, what Xie Zhan said before was just like fart.
And he actually still believed in Xie Zhan, how stupid.
But what Xie Wei found most difficult to accept was that Song Mo actually murdered a military general for a mere Xie Zhan!
Song Mo is the emperor of Dali, and Xie Wei is a general after all. Over the years, he has risked his life for him and Dali. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard!
Now his family and country have let him down!
Xie Wei smiled bitterly. Being born in the Xie family and being loyal to Dali was truly his misfortune due to his lack of moral cultivation in his previous life.
Xiao Kun asked directly, "General Xie, what ideas or plans do you have next?" They didn't have much time left, and there was no time for him to calm down.
"Can you rescue my wife and children?" Xie Wei asked, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
Since Song Mo and Xie Zhan had already made up their minds to let him die in his place, no matter what, they would definitely keep a close watch on his wife and children, and it would not be easy to rescue them.
Xiao Kun knew that Xie Wei believed what he said.
Hearing Xie Wei's question, Xiao Kun shook his head regretfully, "No."
Then, Xiao Kun explained, "It's not that we haven't thought about it or tried it, but your wife and children are now in the gathering place of the Xie family in Chang'an. It's in the heart of Chang'an and is heavily guarded and patrolled."
When he is not absolutely sure about something, he chooses to tell the truth.
Xiao Kun added, "Even if we send people to rescue your wife and children, if we are discovered, you will be charged with treason. If your wife and children are captured, they will die."
Xie Wei listened quietly. When he heard Xiao Kun's answer, he knew that he could not escape their plan.
His wife and children are in Xie Zhan's hands, unless he can ignore their life and death.
But if he does this, what is the difference between him and someone like Xie Zhan?
His wife is the one who has been with him from a humble soldier to where he is today.
Xiao Kun also knew very well that this was a dead end for Xie Wei.
For Pingzhou, Xie Wei would either be willing to go to Chang'an for the sake of his wife and children and end up dying.
If Xie Wei disregards the lives of his wife and children and only cares about his own life, then even if he is subdued, it will be of little value.
When Lu Songli realized the plans of Song Mo and Xie Zhan, he thought about rescuing Xie Wei, and then finding an opportunity to assassinate Xie Zhan, replacing the prince with a cat!
But after careful consideration, she felt that this plan was not feasible.
It is easy for Xie Zhan to let Xie Wei die for him, but it is difficult to let Xie Wei live in place of Xie Zhan.
And Xie Zhan is not so easy to kill.
Another point is that Song Mo relies too much on Xie Zhan's brain. Xie Wei's role as Xie Zhan is easy to be exposed.
The most important point is that to save Xie Wei, you must first save his wife and children.
After all, Dali is a huge country. Although its strength has been greatly weakened by Pingzhou and Xianbei, Chang'an, as the capital of the emperor and the power center of Dali, has the strongest military equipment in all parts of Dali.
Perhaps because he was afraid of death, Song Mo had extremely strict control over Chang'an.
Pingzhou's hand couldn't reach that far in.
In short, although Pingzhou had planted some spies and pawns in Chang'an, it still could not resist the military forces deployed by the Dali court in Chang'an.
She was not such a saint. In order to save Xie Wei's wife and children, she sacrificed a lot of lives.
Is Xie Wei valuable?
have!
But that's all his value is.
Therefore, all they could do in Pingzhou was to take advantage of the enemy's tactics and reap the benefits secretly.
Xie Wei asked Xiao Kun, "Tell me about this. What is your purpose in Pingzhou?"
Pingzhou had first saved him from an unconscious death. Furthermore, at this crucial moment, Pingzhou had not lied to him, promising to rescue his wife and children. To repay this sincerity, if their request was not difficult, he would help.
"Hedong, our goal in Pingzhou is Hedong." Xiao Kun did not hide their purpose.
Xie Wei: He just knew it!
"Although we can't rescue your wife and children, if you have any plans, please tell us and we will definitely help wherever we can."
"How can I help?" Xie Wei asked with a wry smile.
Even the resourceful Lu Songli had no way out. What else could he do when he was being plotted against by his brother, the king, the highest authority in Dali?
His weak spot is in their hands!
Xiao Kun replied seriously, "If you are lucky enough to survive this trip, we welcome you to come to Pingzhou with your wife and children. If you unfortunately die and your wife and children survive, we in Pingzhou will do our best to protect them if we have the chance."
"That's our governor's commitment."
"And our governor said that this promise will remain in effect as long as she lives."
Lu Songli's words were rather obscure. As long as she was alive, it meant that after Pingzhou conquered the world, she would treat his wife and children well.
Lu Songli's promise carries a lot of weight.
Xie Wei knew very well that he could not ignore his wife and children.
If he dies and the arrangements are made afterwards, his wife and children will be able to survive.
Song Mo and Xie Zhan were not so shameless as to dispose of his wife and children as soon as he died.
For the sake of face, they will all treat his wife and children well.
Now, with Lu Songli's promise, no matter what happens in the future, whether the surname is Song or Lu, his wife and children will be able to live a good life. That's enough.
Xie Wei knew very well that Lu Songli would not let the Xie family go.
In addition, in terms of integrity and treating meritorious subordinates, Lu Songli has always had a good reputation, so he believes in her promise.
Xie Wei wiped his face and said, "Okay, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Since Song Mo and Xie Zhan are unkind, don't blame him for being unjust!
…
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Kun left quietly.
Xie Wei, along with his confidants, rode his horse and galloped towards Chang'an.
At this moment, he was facing the whistling wind, and it seemed as if bursts of blazing fire were burning in his body.
Xie Zhan, although I can't beat you, you can't beat Lu Songli. I'm waiting to see the day when you lose everything, including your life.
