Chapter two thousand and four alienation
Wei Fan closed the door and then returned to Meilong and whispered: "Duke Mei, Xuanyuan Shao is just afraid that his mind is not right."
"Is the mentality wrong?" Mei Long raised his head, "What does it mean?"
"As far as I know, Xuanyuan Shao is a taciturn man, but these days, he seems to be provoking the governor Mei everywhere." Wei Fan lowered his voice: "This time, there was no reply from the governor Mei in advance. Xuanyuan Shao dared to send someone to mobilize Wen Pu over without authorization. Mei Du said that the guards were disdainful to suppress the bandits. In the eyes of the officials, it was afraid that it was not for the face of the guards, but for the purpose of transferring Wen Pu's troops to Zhengcheng at all costs."
"How can I not know his thoughts?" Mei Long clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "Before the Guards arrived here, he had already shouted and treated Hujin as his territory. If Wenpu really arrived, I am afraid that I, the governor of Hujin, would have to be at his mercy."
Wei Fan thought for a while before lowering his voice, he said, "Duke Mei, the official dared to guess, where do you think the lord is now?"
"Xuanyuan Shao said that the emperor had something to do and would arrive soon." Mei Long said: "He did not inform him wherever he went."
Wei Fan chuckled and said, "At such a serious moment, what kind of major event does the emperor have left the guards alone?"
"What do you mean?" Mei Long heard something in Wei Fan's words.
Wei Fan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Director Mei, the lower officials think that the Supreme Master has passed away? Xuanyuan Shao is just a fox and a tiger power. He uses the name of the Supreme Master to use the Guards to take the Supreme Master Mei and replace him?"
"You can't say nonsense." Mei Long pulled down his face, "The emperor is the emperor, and the gods protect him, how could he encounter an unexpected accident?"
Wei Fan sighed lightly: "The emperor also hopes that the emperor can come to Hujin and lead everyone to restore the Qin Dynasty and make a comeback, but!" He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The emperor has followed the governor Mei for many years, and thanks to the governor Mei for treating the governor as brothers. At this time, if the governor hides the doubts in his heart, he will be sorry to the governor Mei!"
Meilong looked gentle and said, "Old Wei, you are my brother of life and death. If you speak frankly, I will understand it naturally in my heart."
"Mr. Mei, Hexi has been lost. The Qin Dynasty is in a desperate situation. Mei Duke has the Qin Dynasty. This Qin has the last piece of land in Hujin. Otherwise, Qin would have been destroyed in both names and realities." Wei Fan frowned and said, "Xuanyuan Shao said that the emperor should take Hujin as the foundation and prepare for a comeback. But you and I know that not to mention that there is only one Hujin, even if Hexi is in hand, Qin may not be able to recover. Whether it is the Liaodong Army, the Northwest Army, or even the other end of Hebei, we are all unable to get along."
Mei Longjin frowned, opened his mouth, but did not say anything.
"The lower official is only worried that the emperor is no longer there and the Qin Dynasty has fallen, but some people still have to use the name of the emperor and the Qin Dynasty to make waves in Hujin." Wei Fan looked grim, "Xuanyuan Shao has no respect for the governor Mei. This is what it is today. If Wenpu really comes and he controls the overall situation, the lower official is worried that he will be unfavorable to the governor Mei."
"He dares!" Mei Long said coldly: "Old Wei, I know in my heart that it is undoubtedly a dream to revive Qin by Hujin alone. But since that's the case, why did Xuanyuan Shao still stare at our Hujin? What is the purpose of trying his best to control Hujin, and what is the purpose of taking the original governor and replacing it?"
Wei Fan said: "Duke Mei, you are so smart and confused for a lifetime. Do you really don't understand what he wants to do?"
Mei Long shook his head and said, "I really don't understand. Are you saying that he is loyal to the Qin Dynasty and must stick to it with Hujin until the end? If this is true, you should work together with our governor."
"The Xuanyuan family is a big family." Wei Fan sneered: "If the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, will Xuanyuan Shao not consider his family? Governor Mei should know that Xuanyuan Shao has a clan brother named Wu, but he will not remember it for a while!"
"Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Mei Long immediately said: "Even if he defected to Chu Huan's feet, this person seemed to be trusted by Chu Huan. He is now an important figure in the Northwest Army."
Wei Fan immediately said, "Yes, this is the person. It is said that the Xuanyuan family is loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but Xuanyuan Sheng is the direct descendant of the Xuanyuan family. Didn't he still defect to Chu Huan's command? Xuanyuan Shengcai considers his future. Couldn't Xuanyuan Shao?" He sneered: "It's just that although Xuanyuan Shengcai betrayed the Qin Dynasty, he did things neatly, and his statement was far from comparable to Xuanyuan Shao. Xuanyuan Shengcai was against Qin, so there might not be many people who curse him, but if Xuanyuan Shao surrendered to the enemy, he would definitely be infamous and notorious."
Mei Long nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. Xuanyuan Shao has been favored by two generations of emperors and has been appointed as the commander of the Guards. Even if everyone in the world can rebel, Xuanyuan Shao cannot."
"So even if Xuanyuan Shao wants to surrender, he has to give people a sense of forced urgency." Wei Fan said: "Xuanyuan Shao came to Hujin, probably because of this."
Mei Long frowned and said, "How do you say this?"
"Because of Mei Du's guard, Hujin can be regarded as the last piece of territory of the Qin Dynasty." Wei Fan said: "In the eyes of the world, Xuanyuan Shao retreated to Hujin, and there was no way out to retreat."
Mei Long nodded and said, "This is the reason."
"If he had guarded Hujin and pretended to be desperate to resist, in the end, even if he really surrendered, the people in the world would not say anything about his right or wrong." Wei Fan sneered: "On the contrary, because he was the last troops to resist in Qin, the people in the world would praise his loyalty and righteousness."
Mei Long suddenly realized and clapped his hands and said, "A word awakened the dreamer, Lao Wei, if it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't understand the key points. You said right, take the Supervisor and replace him, and he would become the last person to defend Qin. In the end, if he really surrendered, the people in the world would only say that he was forced to sell his master and seek honor." He snorted coldly, "If you really want to fight with the enemy, he would naturally send the Hujin army to the front line. His guards might not really fight to the death. In the end, he can not only protect his reputation, but also hold thousands of guards in his hand, and also the capital to negotiate with the enemy."
Wei Fan said: "If the officials have a good guess, Xuanyuan Shao really has this intention. Mei Duke thinks this person will let us go? He doesn't do anything now, but the time has not come. Mei Duke has been blocking Wen Pu's troops from coming. Now Xuanyuan Shao can't wait, and even asks Wen Pu to come without even waiting for Mei Du's agreement. This!" At this point, he shook his head and looked worried.
Mei Long touched his beard, his eyes flashed, thinking.
"Duke Mei, you are loyal to the country, and the officials admire you." Wei Fan leaned forward and lowered his voice: "But if he hadn't fought for Qin, it was destroyed in the hands of Xuanyuan Shao. At that time, Xuanyuan Shao would definitely damage the reputation of Duke Mei for his own reputation. If this is true, even if the officials die, they would be unable to rest in peace."
Mei Long stared at Wei Fan, pondered for a moment, and finally sneered: "What a scheming, what a scheming!" He stood up suddenly and pulled out his knife.
Seeing this, Wei Fan hurriedly said, "Duke Mei, don't be impulsive!" Before he finished speaking, the sword flashed, and the knife in Mei Long's hand was already on Wei Fan's neck.
Wei Fan's expression changed drastically and he said in a disgusting voice: "Du Mei, are you?"
"Wei Fan, you have been with me for many years, and I will let you understand." Mei Long's big knife pressed on Wei Fan's neck, and the cold blade was pressed against Wei Fan's neck. With just one pull, the violation will inevitably be cut off. "You have been talking here for a long time, but you really think that I will let you talk about the lotus and instigate it?"
"Mr. Mei, the official!"
"The Qin Dynasty is in danger, and it is the time when the top and the other are united." Mei Long sneered: "Although I am not in line with the commander Xuanyuan, I am all loyal ministers of the Qin Dynasty. I swear to defend the Qin Dynasty to the death. How can you sow discord here? Wei Fan, I know your nature clearly. You are greedy for money and property. How much oil have you gained from the Ministry of Revenue Department over the years? I turned a blind eye to you because of my old brothers for many years. I didn't expect you to become more aggressive and dare to sow discord. You are a person who can't get up early. If you don't satisfy your appetite, how could you say these words easily?"
Wei Fan's face was pale, "Du Mei, the words of the lower officials are really true!"
"Stop!" Mei Long looked cold, "You must have taken other people's property, and then you talk nonsense in front of me. Tell me, who have you been bribed?"
Wei Fan said in a trembling voice: "Director Mei, you are considering it for you. Don't get me wrong. Hujin can't be protected at all. Not to mention that Xuanyuan Shao has ulterior motives. Even if he is really committed to the same as Mei, Hujin is!"
"Who is it?" Mei Long roared, "If you don't come here truthfully, I will slash you with one knife!"
Wei Fan looked frightened. He never expected Mei Long to react like this. He said helplessly: "Is it the one sent by Chu Huan!" He hurriedly: "Duke Mei, the lower official did accept the gift, but Chu Huan's things were not taken without taking them. What Xia Guan said today was not to speak for Chu Huan, but to consider Mei Du sincerely." He smiled bitterly: "Duke Mei was right. Wei Fan was indeed greedy for money, but he was not a person who did not understand loyalty. Over the years, Mei Duke's care for the lower official, and the lower official was not a grass stone. How could he not know? It was thankful to the kindness and friendship of Mei Duke that the lower official said this today."
Mei Long sneered: "Where is Chu Huan's messenger now?"
Wei Fan said: "This!"
Mei Long glared at his eyes, and Wei Fan said helplessly: "Now I am in Zhengcheng, living in the inn!"
Mei Long said in a deep voice: "Is it really Chu Huan who sent someone here?"
"The officials and officials dare not deceive them." Wei Fan felt the coldness of the cold knife and his body trembled slightly.
Meilong then put away the knife, walked over, took the big knife back into the scabbard, then walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, one in one hand, walked over, handed a cup to Wei Fan. Wei Fan was stunned, but did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took it. Meilong then walked back to the seat next to the chair, took a small sip, put down the teacup, glanced at Wei Fan, and saw Wei Fan standing there in his hands holding the teacup, but smiled and said, "What are you still standing? Come and talk!"
Wei Fan really didn't know Mei Long's mind, so he walked over with some fear. Mei Long pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit!"
After Wei Fan sat down, Mei Long pondered for a while before saying, "Chu Huan's messenger came, so naturally no one else knew about it?"
"The Lord Guaranteed, no one else knows." Wei Fan listened to the sound and understood immediately. He put down the teacup in his hand and leaned closer and said, "Duke Mei, Chu Huan is worried that he will send someone to find you directly. On the one hand, it will offend you, and on the other hand, it will be discovered, so he asked the Lord Guarantee to talk to the Lord Guarantee first. However, the Lord Guarantee did not do what they said. The Lord Guarantee collected their money, but what he said to the Lord Guarantee was sincere." He leaned close to Meilong's ear and lowered his voice: "Chu Huan's messenger told the Lord Guarantee that the Lord had passed away!"
Mei Long's body shook and changed color and said, "Is it really dead?"
"There shouldn't be fake." Wei Fan whispered: "I heard that the imperial seal has also been in Chu Huan's hands. Mei Du still remembers that Chu Huan had robbed the queen from Hexi before. It is said that the queen was placed under house arrest by Chu Huan in Tongzhou. The emperor went to Tongzhou to rescue him alone, but died in Tongzhou. At this time, there were not many people who knew about it."
Mei Long nodded slightly: "If this news is true, Chu Huan will bring it here, so he will be considered sincere."
"If the emperor dies, Qin will no longer exist." Wei Fan said: "Xuanyuan Shao is incomparable to the military achievements and qualifications of the people in Mei, but this person looks noble. Mei Du and the lower official said just now, it is not groundless. This person is afraid that he really wants to take Mei Du and replace him, and use the capital for negotiations with others in Hujin in the future."
Mei Long frowned and said, "Wenpu is a subordinate of Xuanyuan Shao. He has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. Most of our soldiers are on the southern front now. If we really turn against each other, we may not be Xuanyuan Shao's opponent." After thinking for a while, he said, "You go back now and contact Chu Huan's envoy first. I will go to your mansion to drink tonight, so I can also touch Chu Huan's bottom. You must do the secret at this time, so you must not let Xuanyuan Shao know. Among the hundreds of people under Xuanyuan Shao, there are Divine Uniform Guards among them, so you must not take it lightly!"
Wei Fan whispered: "Chu Huan's envoy is not ready to contact Mei Du, and he may not dare to see Mei Du!"
"If Chu Huan was really smart, he wouldn't have made only one choice." Mei Long said: "He must have been prepared to meet the envoy. If he didn't even prepare for this, Chu Huan would be like this."
Wei Fan smiled and said, "What Governor Mei said is very good, so let's make arrangements now."
Mei Long raised his hand and patted Wei Fan on the shoulder and said, "Old Wei, don't blame me for what happened just now. You are also confused. How can you hide such a big deal from me?"
