Chapter 30 Family Dinner
Jiaguo was drunk and drunk, and the books on the bedside were in chaos.
The northern Xuanyuan blows away the sparse bamboos, and lie down and watch the blue sky walk on the white clouds.
------------苏舜钦《暑中闲咏》

Today, my itinerary was a bit busy. At noon, I had to accompany Meixian and Wanjing to the Yingui Sect's stronghold for a family meal. After the meal, I didn't know if there were any other activities. In the evening, I had to go to An Long to negotiate with the four Xiang Yutian's apprentices. After the negotiations, I honestly followed Miss Wanwan back to sleep.
Walking on the street, the tension of the previous two days was swept away and became more peaceful again. The news about Song Que's coming to Chengdu is now full of rumors on the streets. The name of Tiandao is not a big deal. This news has played a role in calming people's hearts, which shows the influence of the Song clan on Bashu.
I personally have no prejudice against Song Que. After all, I have a small industry in Lingnan, but people are in the world and cannot help themselves! The deeper I go into this era, the deeper I feel. In the future, I am just a small employee who follows the steps. I didn’t expect to be the king in the troubled times, and I don’t have that ability and wisdom. This is a clear understanding of a person with an IQ of only 75.
You may not be smart, but you cannot be too arrogant.
I don’t know much about Boss Bai’s current situation, but judging from his visit to the Song Family Wharf, as a leader, he may hope to rely on the support of the Song Family to fight against the increasing power of the Jianghuai Army’s bardo Gui faction. This is the way to balance.
The Jianghuai Army is a very complex force, including the old subordinates of the Jianghuai Army, the old subordinates of Wagang, the Dongming faction's control of finance and ordnance, and the Yingui faction's intervention. If the forces of the Poyang Gang are added, it is too difficult to integrate. Boss Bai is said to belong to the Dongming faction, but he is deeply trusted by Lao Du, so he is the best candidate from the moment. However, if the faction disputes under his command are not resolved, the future of the Jianghuai Army will be difficult to predict.
The intervention of the Song family has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can calm the scene, unify the south of the Yangtze River, and rush the north. The disadvantage is that it is easy to invite gods and difficult to send gods. The Song family is not a living Lei Feng, and they do not leave their names after helping. They have their own political demands and may be replaced.
The Holy Sect, represented by the Yingui Sect, was naturally unwilling to give in to the fat meat that had reached its mouth, so this carefully planned conspiracy was launched at the intersection of Bashu.
I guess Boss Bai’s life is not easy now, but what can I say? I don’t want to offend both sides. Boss Bai should stick to it for Bai Qing'er, and I sympathize with him very much.
With such a complicated mood, I came to the Yingui Sect's stronghold. Wanwan was very tactful and did not show up. She went to prepare for the evening. I really wanted to see how those four guys fell into Wanwan's hands and suffered torture. I was very happy when I thought about this. This may be the so-called building my own happiness on the pain of others.
The atmosphere in the yard was very harmonious. Even Wanjing, who had always been willful, returned to her little daughter's posture. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking together, and it was a bit awkward when they said this because they looked like sisters when they were together. Zhu Yuyan was now close to fifty years old and she was very well maintained.
They each have their own auras in their daily lives. Now they have restrained their majesty and hypocrisy in front of their subordinates and talked about the past calmly. This feeling is really good.
"Is this girl Wanwan not bad?" Zhu Yuyan said with a smile when she saw me coming in.
"Very good!" I forced a smile out, and the answer was firm and powerful.
"Time flies so fast. When you handed her to me, she was still a hungry baby and grew up in a blink of an eye." Zhu Yuyan sighed, "I feel relieved if I have her following you."
Of course you are relieved, I have suffered a lot. Looking at the beautiful fairy chuckling on the side, I finally realized that Wanwan has another mission, which is to monitor my actions in case I will have a fucking affair...
Uh, no, I should be just in case I would have had sex alone. I really underestimated me. Am I that kind of person?
"That's natural." I complimented, "Under your guidance from my mother-in-law, she not only has superb martial arts, but also has a model in life and work, but she is even more rare to be loyal to you. She is really a rare disciple."
"This is a change of taste when you say it." Zhu Yuyan taught a lesson, "You are also a father, so you should be more steady in the future."
"Yes, yes, you said yes." I nodded quickly.
Next is the time for dinner. The meal was very simple and light. During this period, I talked about some irrelevant topics, and of course I also analyzed and judged the current situation.
"Wan'er, have you noticed anything in Duzun Castle? How is Jie Hui's injury now?" Meixian asked with his head raised.
I looked at Wanjing in surprise. She was following Li Xiuning and she was still acting as a secret spy. I couldn't tell that she was quite meticulous.
"Xiuxiu was a little anxious these two days. I think Jie Hui's injury is real, but there was no panic in Duzun Castle. Jie Wenlong stayed behind closed doors these days, and the two sisters of the Song family did not respond. Everything was like normal." Wan Jingxu said, "But I always feel a little weird, but I can't say it. The Song family and Jie family don't seem to have a good relationship as I think."
"It has not been found out that who passed the news of Song Yuhua's trip to Dashi Temple." Zhu Yuyan thought, "It should be Jie Hui. Jie Hui and Fan Qinghui were planning to catch us in Dashi Temple, but Jie Hui was injured himself. Xi Ying's martial arts should not be that strong, which makes no sense."
"What about Li's family?" Meixian analyzed, "Jingzhai is supporting Li's family. This may be the trick of Xiuxiu, and Jie Hui's injury is also questionable. Will they do something while Song Que and Xi Ying are duel?"
"Well, it may also be Song Yuhua's hands. She is the representative of the Song clan in Bashu, and she controls the hidden power of the Song clan in Bashu. Jie Hui has complained about the Song clan's intervention in Bashu over the years, and it is unknown whether the Song clan wants to take over Bashu's affairs." Zhu Yuyan speculated.
Song Yuhua?
This information surprised me a little. Song Yuhua, who seemed to be weak, actually controlled Bashu by the Song family. No wonder she had a bad relationship with Jie Wenlong. This is equivalent to Song family inserting a nail in Duzun Castle!
"Wouldn't Xiuxiu be very dangerous?" Wanjing said worriedly.
"Everything is still unknown. We just need to wait and see what happened. After Song Que and Xi Ying duel will naturally see the matter." Zhu Yuyan said calmly, "Wan'er, don't go to Duzun Castle again. It's too dangerous. Li Xiuning will not be able to do anything. No matter it is the Jie family or the Song family, and our Holy Sect, there is no need to target her. It is not a wise choice to make a grudge with Li Tang at the moment."
"Oh." Wanjing nodded.
Looking at Wanjing's serious appearance, I knew this girl would definitely not listen. This is her intuition as a father, and she looks very much like me in this regard.
I showed her a clear smile and rolled her eyes at me.
