Chapter 348 Fire by the lake
Xie Yi cannot leave Qizhou easily yet. This is his duty. If he leaves like this, Li Shimin will have to settle accounts with him.
Not to mention stopping or quelling Li You's rebellion, at least you have to capture Wang Jundu, Yin Hongzhi and others, otherwise what did you do after a trip to Qizhou? What are the achievements? There is no way to explain when you go back.
The power to act cheaply is not something you have to do, you have to do something. Li You's rebellion is an event that was originally destined by history, but it was just slightly ahead of schedule. So there is no need to feel guilty. Just deal with this matter with all your strength to add points to your family and Li Zhi.
As for Xu Xiaode and Xu Hui, they had to leave Qizhou. It was too dangerous and it was really not suitable to stay. They didn't have the time or energy to take care of them.
"Father-in-law, Hui'er, let Yebei arrange for you to leave first and reunite with Qi Dan later."
"What happened?"
"Anything happens, the King of Qi will rebel."
"Ah!" Both the father and daughter of the Xu family widened their eyes, with an incredible expression.
Xie Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to believe it either, but all the signs indicate that there is a possibility. Qizhou will be very dangerous. You should not stay here again."
"What about you?" Xu Hui asked immediately.
Xie Yi said: "Where is my duty, I have to stay and do something."
"How can that be done? I won't leave if you don't leave." Xu Hui immediately firmly opposed it.
"Don't make trouble with Hui'er, this is dangerous here. I'm afraid I can't distract myself to take care of you. You can go to Chang'an's house to be familiar with Li Wan and the others first."
Since what Xie Yi said makes sense, Xu Hui kept shaking her head and disagreed.
Xie Yi looked at Xu Xiaode with help, but he shook his head and said, "Sanlang, we can't leave either. As the governor, a rebellion broke out in the territorial world but left it. This is a serious crime."
Xie Yi said: "Even if my father-in-law leaves, my son-in-law has the imperial edict issued by His Majesty and has the right to act cheaply. I order you to leave Qizhou and I will take over the military and political power of Qizhou."
"That's not OK. Although you have the right to act cheaply, if you let me leave like this, there will be no shortage of people saying that you use your power for personal gain in the future." Xu Xiaode shook his head and said, "You can't let your reputation and future be affected because of me."
"Father-in-law is so serious."
"Sanlang, don't say too much. I'll stay here to help you. Suppressing the rebellion is a big deal. It's always good to have a helper." Xu Xiaode was also firm in his attitude.
Xu Hui also said: "It is a dangerous moment. If I leave here, I will not share the hardships with Saburo, and the sisters who go back to Chang'an will laugh at me."
"Nothing."
Xu Hui said firmly: "I don't care. I just want to stay and take care of your diet and daily life, so that you can focus on your heart and do your best."
Seeing Xu Hui's attitude, Xie Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. How could the pretty girl stay by his side focus? But there was only a touch of bright color on the battlefield, which was quite a bit like a gossip in the wrathful times.
Xie Yi pondered for a moment and had to nodded and said, "Since that's the case, that's it. My father-in-law walked for me and went to nearby prefectures and counties with my cheap imperial edict. If there is any change in Qizhou, he would warn the governors and officials and local gentry not to interact with the rebels and ask them to be prepared to participate in the fight against the rebellion."
If there is a rebellion, it is not worth worrying about if it is just a state. What is afraid of is that a large area of land will be rolled into it. In this way, the range of war burning too large will cause too much damage, and the greater the scope of control of the rebels, the greater the strength. The damage and threats caused will naturally escalate.
Now it is best to control the rebellion to the smallest range, which is the greatest success. If you have the right to act cheaply, you will naturally have the power to mobilize the forces of nearby prefectures and counties. Xie Yi has the urge to try and does not know what kind of experience it would be to control the army to suppress the rebellion.
Xu Xiaode immediately said, "Okay, I'll set off now."
"Don't be anxious. Let's look at the situation first. Although the King of Qi has the intention to rebel, it has not yet been fully launched." Xie Yi said: "But if it really rebels, the Prince of Qi's mansion will definitely seize the military and political power of Qizhou, or force his father-in-law to submit, or commit murder. Therefore... the father-in-law stays here now and sends someone to pretend to return to the governor's mansion first. This is a test, so that we can deal with it calmly and reasonably."
"Okay!" Xu Xiaode was also very cautious. Although all the signs now indicate that Li You, the King of Qi, would rebel, had not yet risen. If he finally gave up, or something else, the matter of suppressing the rebellion should not be too hasty. He should have complete preparations and timely reactions, but he must not be honest.
However, unexpectedly, the verification came so quickly that the servant who pretended to be Xu Xiaode was assassinated on his way back to the governor's mansion and died of serious injuries.
When he received the news, Xu Xiaode himself was shocked. Fortunately, Xie Yi had a foresight, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xie Yi said with a heavy expression: "No, the other party has already taken action, I'm afraid this is no longer safe."
As soon as the words came to the ground, Yebei also came to report urgently: "Alang, an assassin is sneaking into the mansion. Please quickly retreat to Daming Lake. The subordinates have prepared ships there."
"Okay!" Xie Yi hurriedly took Xu Xiaode and Xu Hui to retreat to the shore of Daming Lake under the protection of his subordinates. Before leaving, Xie Yi ordered: "Don't fight hard and set fire to the room."
Ye Bei did not hesitate for a moment and immediately ordered someone to set fire. The huge and gorgeous house was lit up and turned into a sea of fire. The sudden fire stopped the assassin from moving forward, leaving a lot of time for Xie Yi and others to escape, and the casualties of the Xie guards in the mansion were greatly reduced.
Standing on the side of the boat, Xie Yi's face turned pale. Although he was not sure whether it was King Qi Li You or Wang Jundu who was taking action, since these people were so cruel and wanted to take their own lives, don't blame him for being rude.
Xu Xiaode, who was standing beside him, also had a heavy expression. Although he was nervous the moment before, he could calm down. However, after a moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed completely. Now it was a life-and-death situation.
Xu Hui was not frightened by this, but was a little sad. This mansion was very exquisite, but it was nothing to the wealthy Xie family, so there was no need to feel distressed. But this is where she and Xie Yi fell in love. These days, they have been loving and lingering here, leaving so many beautiful memories.
As a result, he is now trapped in the sea of fire and will turn into ashes later. When he thinks about it, he feels a little sad and can't help but feel sad. Seeing this scene, Xie Yi comforted softly: "It's okay, don't be sad. When things are over, I will ask someone to rebuild this house as it was on the original site, and then we will come back to live for a few days when we have time. How about it?"
"Yeah!" Xu Hui nodded slightly. This is the best. What's more important is not the house, but the considerate man around her. With his love, everything else is not important. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
