Xiao Heng's eyes flashed with surprise. He turned to look at Mrs. Xiao, but saw the indescribable calm on Mrs. Xiao's beautiful face.

Chu Huan was also a little shocked. He knew that the woman was very scheming, but he did not expect that he was not only very scheming, but also ruthless. As the saying goes, "Good" is the most toxic woman's heart. This woman deserves her reputation."

Chu Huan knew that Xiao Huanzhang's original wife had already passed away. Mrs. Xiao was originally a concubine, but after the eldest wife died, she was promoted to the governor's wife by Xiao Huanzhang.

It is actually not difficult to understand that Mrs. Xiao has no children under her. Xiao Huanzhang is over fifty years old and nearly sixty years old. Mrs. Xiao is just in her early thirties and when Xiao Huanzhang takes a concubine, she is already over 40 years old.

Chu Huan had met Xiao Huanzhang, and at a glance he knew that Xiao Huanzhang must have been an overly indulgent when he was young. He was over 40 years old and took Madam Xiao, a beautiful woman like a flower. Although he had not done much skill, it was not accidental that Madam Xiao had too much indulgent when he was young.

Both Xiao Jingsheng and his brothers were born to their original wife. Although they were mother-son and son, they were not related by blood.

Even so, it is always the mother and son. At this time, Mrs. Xiao said that she wanted to eliminate the Xiao brothers, but it seemed that she was just eliminating irrelevant people and did not care about the relationship between mother and son.

Although Chu Huan was shocked, she smiled on her face and said, "Madam, do you mean to kill the Xiao brothers?"

Xiao Heng couldn't help but shivered in his heart, but Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Heng with a smile and asked, "Heng'er, this is just the only way that my aunt thought of. Is there any other way, so I can only ask Duke Chu."

Xiao Heng looked at Chu Huan. Before he could speak, Chu Huan said: "This is your Beishan matter. I am not easy to interfere. Moreover, Mr. Xiao has a wife on his side to make suggestions. I believe that it will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

Xiao Heng whispered softly: "Kill... Kill them..." The expression in his eyes was very complicated. After a moment, he became firm and sneered: "What my aunt said is right. If they don't die, I will die sooner or later in their hands. Let's start first..." Then he frowned and said: "But it is really not easy to kill them. They have many gangs in Beishan and are extremely powerful. I... my strength is definitely not their opponent."

Mrs. Xiao said, "Only by Heng'er herself, there will be many difficulties. Beishan is full of eyeliners from their father and son. Without help, Heng'er has no hope of success." Her beautiful eyes flowed, and a smile appeared on her lips, "But with Duke Chu coming to help today, is Heng'er still worried that he will not achieve great things?"

Xiao Heng's body shook and he looked at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Why did the wife assert that this governor would help Mr. Xiao? After all, this is your Beishan business. I am open and honest, and I am a vassal official of the empire. The Xiao brothers are also officials of the court. Why did this governor help you kill the imperial officials?"

Mrs. Xiao sighed quietly, "Don't Chu know that although the northwest still belongs to the territory of Qin, the imperial decree of the court can still be effective in the northwest? Whether it is Zhu Lingyue or Xiao Huanzhang, the imperial edict that harms their interests will never be implemented in the northwest. The so-called imperial edict is just a tool they can use when they need it. As for the officials in the northwest, the Duke of Chu is the governor of Xiguandao and a powerful brigade official. I would like to ask, whether it is the magistrate of the Moliu County of Beishan Road or Tianshan Road, does Duke Chu feel that they will have a slight awe of you?"

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed: "They are just afraid that they will think about me dying sooner."

"The three northwest roads today dominate the other side, and Chu Duke is in charge of Xiguan. As far as I know, the officials at and below Xiguan and Chu Duke are also appointing their own personnel." Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "If the imperial court now sends people to replace the officials in Xiguan, will Chu Duke agree?"

Chu Huan just smiled but didn't speak.

Since this woman said everything to this point, Chu Huan didn't need to say anything high-sounding. If he had just arrived in Xiguan and the court sent many officials, he naturally had no objection. However, after several bleeding, Xiguan was under his control. If the court sent officials to replace the officials he appointed, Chu Huan would certainly not easily obey.

Seeing that Chu Huan was not speaking, Mrs. Xiao smiled charmingly: "The officials in Beishan are no longer considered officials of the court, but only Xiao Huanzhang's officials. Just like Xiguan, the officials in Xiguan are not officials of the court, but officials of the Chu governor. Since this is the case, even if they really kill Xiao Jingsheng's brothers, the Chu governor can't be considered to kill the court's official."

Chu Huan touched his chin and said, "But why did I kill them? Do you know that they are Xiao Huanzhang's sons? If their death is related to this governor, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Because the Chu governor is in the northwest." Mrs. Xiao said without hesitation: "Because the Chu governor thinks Heng'er is an available person."

"Oh?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "Why did Madam say that?"

"What a identity of Duke Chu? He came here tonight and showed himself, but he could still talk. If he didn't think Heng'er was available, why bother to talk too much?" Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Duke Chu's biggest heart disease now is not in Tianshan, but in Beishan!"

Chu Huanrao asked with interest: "Why did Madam say this?"

"Director Chu and Zhu Lingyue have completely broken up in the rebellion of Jinzhou and Hezhou. It is clear that water and fire are incompatible, so Chu was prepared for the battle with Zhu Lingyue." Mrs. Xiao raised her hand and stroked a strand of black hair on her cheek behind her ears, graceful and graceful. "Under the current situation, what Chu Duke is most worried about is Beishan's attitude. You are only afraid that Beishan will join forces with Tianshan and attack on both sides. If that is true, although Chu Duke is civil and military, it is difficult to resist."

Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Madam, is it that Beishan will join forces with Tianshan?"

"So what does Duke Chu think?" Mrs. Xiao asked with a smile.

Chu Huan sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't guess it. The wife is the one next to Du Xiao, and her thoughts about Du Xiao are much clearer than this Du."

Mrs. Xiao said: "Xiao Huanzhang is a greedy person!"

This unreasonable sentence made Chu Huan confused and asked, "What does Madam mean?"

"What Zhu Lingyue can give, but Duke Chu can't give it." Mrs. Xiao sighed quietly: "Zhu Lingyue has sufficient money and food, and his troops are strong, and Duke Chu is still worried about the people's livelihood in Xiguan..."

She didn't continue to say it, but Chu Huan already understood what she meant.

For Xiao Huanzhang, his best plan is of course to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, but this is just his wishful thinking. Neither Zhu Lingyue nor Chu Huan could let Xiao Huanzhang enjoy his success.

Therefore, if there is really a war in the northwest, Beishan will inevitably be involved.

Whether it is the alliance with Tianshan or Xiguan, neither Chu Huan nor Zhu Lingyue can be sure of Xiao Huanzhang's thoughts. Mrs. Xiao pointed out that Xiao Huanzhang is a greedy person, and her meaning is clear. If you really want to buy it, Zhu Lingyue's capital is far more than Chu Huan. In other words, the possibility of an alliance between Beishan and Tianshan is far more than that with Xiguan.

"Even if Xiao Huanzhang is lingering and does not want to become Zhu Lingyue's front pawn, once the Xiao Jingsheng brothers take over the power of Xiguan, the alliance between Beishan and Tianshan is unstoppable." Mrs. Xiao's eyes flowed and she said softly: "Heng'er said just now that Xiao Jingsheng and Zhu Lingyue have a good personal relationship. Xiao Jingsheng can get a lot of benefits from Zhu Lingyue every year."

Chu Huan sighed: "In this way, can this governor let the Xiao Jingsheng brothers take power?"

"Xiao Huanzhang is old and his health is getting worse and worse." Mrs. Xiao talked about her husband, as if she was talking about something outsider. "He has poor energy. If the Northwest really has chaos, there may be no problem in a year or two. After a long time, he will find it difficult to support him. He can only delegate power to his son, Duke Chu, of course you don't want to see this situation."

Xiao Heng finally said: "Yes, Xiao Huanzhang's body has been hollowed out by wine and sex. Although he is cunning, if he really wants to fight, he may not be able to control the overall situation. Financial matters have always been dealt with by Xiao Jingsheng, and the matter of military affairs is Xiao Jingqian. He is just an old waste who eats, drinks and waits for death." His eyes became cold and cold, and he had already grasped it. Obviously, he had resented Xiao Huanzhang for a long time and had not endured it, but it gradually showed it tonight.

"So you think I should help you?" Chu Huan asked at Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "If the brothers Xiao Jingsheng are gone, Xiao Jingsheng's only heir can be Heng'er. If Heng'er has the power to Beishan, he will naturally repay the kindness of Chu's help. At that time, Beishan soldiers and horses can obey Chu's orders."

After all, Xiao Heng was also a smart person. He already knew the key points and immediately said: "Duke Chu, if this is true, Xiao Heng will definitely obey Duke Chu's orders and go through fire and water, and will never refuse."

He was already excited.

He could understand from Mrs. Xiao's words that if he could really reach an agreement with Chu Huan tonight, Chu Huan would naturally not spread the dirty things of adultery about her mother and nephew. Not only that, if he got Chu Huan's help, he would be more likely to have the power of Beishan. Even if he really had to obey Chu Huan's instructions in the future, compared to the fact that adultery was exposed or even killed by Xiao Jingsheng's brothers, obeying Chu Huan's orders was of course much more wonderful.

He wanted to possess Mrs. Xiao for a long time. If he obtained the power of Beishan, Mrs. Xiao would naturally become his forbidden body. When he thought that he could wake up and take control of the power of Beishan, he lie drunk on his uncle's knees, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Chu Huan pondered for a moment, stood up, and sighed, "Forget it, I saw nothing and heard nothing tonight...!" He actually walked straight past Mrs. Xiao and walked towards the back window.

Xiao Heng changed color slightly. When Mrs. Xiao saw Chu Huan walking past her, she was not panicked at all. The corners of her mouth were curved. Before Chu Huan could walk to the back window, she chuckled and said, "Have you left here by Duke Chu?"

Chu Huan didn't look back, carrying his hands on his back, and said, "No matter what, Duke Xiao did not break up with me after all, and I... was really inconvenient to interfere in the Beishan affairs."

"Does Chu Duke not trust us?" Mrs. Xiao slowly turned around and stared at Chu Huan's straight back.

Chu Huan said: "How should I trust you? I will not hide it from you. After all, you are people around Duke Xiao, so I have to be careful."

Mrs. Xiao did not hesitate and whispered: "If you make a blood oath, of course, Duke Chu will not doubt it anymore."
