The chess piece that Xie An mentioned naturally refers to Zhu Xu, the general who was guarding Xiangyang. When he thought of Zhu Xu, Wei Jie felt mixed feelings. At the beginning, he was self-righteous and wanted to persuade Zhu Xu to surrender to Fu Jian. But Xie An had already made arrangements!

The Wei family, also the two pillars of the Great Jin Dynasty, all collapsed in that battle. Xie An's trick to kill people by using a knife still makes Wei Jie feel creepy when he thinks about it. It is really perfect and impeccable. Sima Daozi and his son are perfectly taking the blame!

"In this case, let's discuss the details!"

Wei Jie suggested that Xie An review and add a resolution, so Xie Xuan naturally would not say anything more. At that moment, the three of them discussed the details carefully, and for an hour, and at this time, Liu Laozhi and the others arrived!

"I have met Gong An and Supervisor Xuan! Yes, why did General Wei come so early?"

Wei Jie and Xie An and Xie Xuan were waiting in the hall, which surprised Liu Laozhi. In his opinion, he was the second most powerful figure in the Northern Mansion Army, General Ying Yang who was fully capable of being the only one!

Liu Laozhi's sensitive Wei Jie was deeply touched. Xie Xuan and Xie An did not discuss Liu Laozhi's discussion, but instead looked for him. If Liu Laozhi knew the truth, he would definitely be in a grudge!

Wei Jie felt that he was almost a little nervous, and he subconsciously felt that this was deliberately arranged by Xie An, intending to provoke the relationship between him and Liu Laozhi!

"Haha, I have something to discuss with General Wei when I have something to do, so I let him come earlier than you!" Xie An said with a smile.

Xie Xuan showed a knowing smile, as if he was echoing the uniqueness of Xie An's central defender level!

Liu Laozhi's expression froze slightly and returned to normal. He smiled and said, "General Wei is young and promising, and has made great contributions. It is natural for An Gong to see him in a different way!"

"In my eyes, you are all young and promising pillars of the court!" Xie An's behavior of trying to calm down at this time gave people a feeling of being overwhelmed!

What Wei Jie was most worried about was that Liu Laozhi would feel resentful and then he would be scruples about himself. After all, Liu Laozhi is now a powerful faction among the soldiers of the Northern Palace and is even more narrow-minded!

Wang Hong was also here. Wei Jie was originally worried that Wang Hong would be a little unnatural when facing Xie An, and that Xie An would see something clues. Fortunately, in addition to Wang Hong, Liu Yu, Tan Daoji, and Liu Muzhi were all quite restrained. Wang Hong's performance has improved a lot compared to them!

Is there any reason not to be nervous when having a meal with Xie An?

At the banquet, Xie An and Xie Xuan were chatting and laughing from beginning to end, and Liu Laozhi seemed to be laissez-free. Needless to say, Wei Jie, except Wang Hong, he came to Xie's mansion the most. Apart from drinking and eating, the others were almost just listening to a few chatting.

After finally the banquet ended and everyone was relieved to leave, Xie An had something to say.

"You are the pillars of my future Jin Dynasty. Tomorrow you will also go to various places, perform their duties and contribute to the court. I will take this opportunity to remind everyone!"

"Please ask for advice!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Xie An nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Now my great Jin Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles. You should keep your beliefs in your heart and always remember that you are a minister of the great Jin Dynasty. At all times, the interests of the great Jin Dynasty must be put first!"

"I received the news a few days ago that the Former Qin army is ready to move. You will soon have the opportunity to make meritorious achievements. At that time, please spare no effort to do your best for the Great Jin, the Emperor, and the innocent people implicated in the war in the whole world!"

"For specific action policies, after you return to your post, Xiao Xuan will issue military orders. Please be sure to perform your duties conscientiously, defend against strong enemies outside and guard against traitors inside!"

As soon as Xie An finished speaking, Xie Faliang hurriedly ran into the hall.

"Sir, news came from Jingzhou that General Huan Chonghuan has passed away!"

"What?"

Not only Xie An, but even Xie Xuan's face changed drastically. Huan Chong actually died in this urgent situation!

"Sir, it is said that Huan Xuan has submitted a report to the court. Tomorrow, the hall should know what is going on!" Xie Faliang said respectfully.

"Everyone, please go back, Xiaojie and I come to the study room!"

After saying that, Xie An and Xie Xuan turned around with a serious look on his face and walked towards Xie An's study.

Except for Liu Laozhi's slightly reluctant, everyone respectfully said goodbye and left!

"Xiao Xuan, have you met Huan Chong before when you went to Jingzhou?" After returning to the study, Xie An asked hurriedly before he sat down.

"Well, there was nothing wrong with his complexion at that time. Moreover, he was not a few years older than Xie Xuan. He was in his prime, so why did he die suddenly?"

Xie Xuan was puzzled. Yin Zhongkan rose up and caused chaos. When he led his troops to Jingzhou to confront Yin Zhongkan, Huan Chong had secretly met him once and expressed his loyalty to the court. He never thought that Huan Chong's death came in just over a month!

Wei Jie had never seen Xie An look so uneasy. Even though Huan Xuan colluded with Sima Daozi and Wang Gong last time and forced him to step down, he did not show such a look. According to Yan Meng's words, Xie An was still very calm at that time!

At that moment, Wei Jie couldn't help but feel aroused. Huan Chong was probably a loyal supporter of Xie An. Huan Chong's death was not that simple, so there must be something wrong in the middle!

As expected, Xie An said in a deep voice: "It must be the one Huan Xuan who murdered his uncle in order to seize the military power of Jingzhou and Jiangling!"

Xie Xuan's expression froze and said, "If this is true, Huan Xuan seems to be determined to usurp the Jin Dynasty and become independent!"

Xie An nodded slightly and said a little tiredly: "I'm afraid our Northern Expedition plan will be difficult to work anymore. It's really a traitor who ruined the country!"

As soon as Huan Chong died, Huan Xuan naturally inherited the military and political power of the Huan clan and became the decision-maker of the Huan clan. He became the local emperor in Jiangling, Jingzhou. Huan Xuan was not as good as Huan Chong. He inherited the will of his father Huan Wen since he was a child, and wanted to replace the Sima clan with the Huan clan until he won the world!
