My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 346 Knowingly Asking, Warning and Guanzhong Bai Clan
Weifu.

Wei Min sat high on the third step, holding a piece of information he had just received in his hand.

His brows were gradually wrinkled, and he murmured a word of displeasure. He looked up at the clear sky outside the door, his eyes burst out with fire, and he was very angry.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Wei Hao looked worried, and said admonishingly: "Second sister-in-law also intends to get closer to my Wei family. She is just taking a concubine for Cheng'er. Why not be attached to many aristocratic families in Jiujiang County?"

Wei Min shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as you think. I know this woman better than anyone else. She only has eyes for her little brother who cannot be supported, and she has never considered the life and death of other aristocratic families."

Wei Hao tightened his brows, and he used to despise what his second sister-in-law did, but now the second sister-in-law came to Hedong in person with the sincerity of several big families in Jiujiang, but the second brother was so impulsive, how could he Is good?

Saying that Wei Yan was not affected by the personal relationship between the husband and wife, Wei Hao would not believe it.

When a man acts, public is public, private is private, if he acts with personal feelings, how can he achieve great things?

Wei Hao, as the head of the Goodwill Hall, is the person responsible for the Wei family's communication with other aristocratic families. He will never allow his second elder brother, Wei Yan, to dislike the favor of the Jiujiang aristocratic family. Row.

Wei Yan seemed to have seen through his thoughts, turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Old Wu, some things are not as simple as you imagined, it would be fine if it was a simple marriage, but this Jiujiang is where Sun Jian lived for a long time. Land, where the relationship is intricate, unless you can see clearly, don't lose the big because of small things."

Wei Hao was startled when he heard the words, then nodded in response: "Second brother, don't worry, the Goodwill Hall has its own rules for doing things, and there will be opportunities for those who are willing to take advantage of it."

Wei Yan looked at his fifth half-brother meaningfully, nodded slightly, and signaled him to retreat first.

Wei Hao bowed his hands, glanced at Wei Min, and exited the meeting hall.

After Wei Yan watched him leave, he suddenly said, "Send someone to Jiujiang. I want to know everything that happened in the last three months, including why she was able to persuade these many families to act together."

"..."

No one answered, but Wei Min kept his expression on. He picked up the information on the table and read it carefully again.

After Wei Hao left the meeting hall, he went straight to the Goodwill Hall located in the southwest corner of Wei Mansion.

As the head of the Goodwill Hall, Wei Hao is mainly responsible for the communication with the nobles of various families in the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to Wei's diplomat.

Just as Wei Hao walked into the gate of the courtyard, he saw a graceful figure standing under the peach tree in the courtyard, gently pushing a peach branch with bare hands, slightly tiptoeing to smell the fragrance of flowers in April.

Wei Hao didn't dare to neglect, stepped forward a few steps, and bowed his hands, "Why is Your Highness coming to my thatched cottage today when you have time?"

The woman turned around and showed her face, she was slim and graceful, even though she was wearing a gold tassel mask, she could still see the beauty in the world from between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Wei Yilang, long time no see."

Wei Hao bowed and saluted. He used to work in Taichang, and he was the official in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple. He once taught the young princes and princesses the rituals of sacrifice during the New Year festival.

"Yes, after His Highness went to Chang'an, Wei also resigned. Think about it, it took six or seven years."

When Wei Hao talked about his resignation, Liu He's starry eyes sparkled, and his phoenix eyes seemed to be reminiscing, and they were full of water, which made people feel pity.

"After the father left, there was a mess in the court. It was I, Mrs. Liu, who failed you and made many people feel cold."

"Your Highness, the matter has passed for so long, and Wei has long forgotten about it. Why does Your Highness need to mention it again... I wonder what your Highness is coming to my Goodwill Hall today?" Wei Hao didn't want to discuss the rights and wrongs of the royal family, so as not to make too many mistakes.

Liu Hexiu frowned slightly, looked at the busy Wei family members in the Goodwill Hall, and said with emotion: "Originally, I really wanted to ask for something, but only later did I realize that some things cannot be helped by outsiders. It makes sense, there are traces of the decline of Liu's family, but this palace is showing signs."

Wei Hao also looked up at those busy nephews and brothers, recalling the absurd deeds of the princes he had seen in the palace back then, comparing the two, he couldn't help feeling a little proud and sighing towards the Han family And helpless.

Liu He lowered his eyebrows and walked silently towards the courtyard gate.

When Wei Hao looked back, she had already walked to the door.

Sudden footsteps stopped, Liu He asked without turning his head: "Wei Yilang, do you think my Liu family can still be saved?"

Wei Hao's expression changed, and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer such a simple question.

After being silent for a while, Liu He seemed to chuckle, and then lifted her foot to leave, but compared with the peerless beauty just now, her back at this time added a bit of loneliness and loneliness.

···
Xuzhou, Langya County.

Taikang County.

Huang Zhong was training his bow and horse every day, and a few young people next to him gathered together to gamble.

Zhang Fei lifted a rotten straw mat, revealing the straw target inside. There were three arrows stuck in the deadly part of the 'heart'.

The silver carp was overjoyed when he saw this, "Hahaha, I won, where is the wine, bring it."

Zhang Fei looked at Huang Xu and Tai Shici angrily, and said angrily, "Why are you two so unbelievable?"

Huang Xu pursed his lips, and said angrily, "If you were up to the challenge, you wouldn't ask the two of us to compete with the old man on bow and horse."

Tai Shici looked annoyed, looked at Huang Zhong who was still shooting arrows not far away, and said enviously: "Uncle Han's arm strength is really strong, [-] paces is normal for him, I am not as good as it."

Zhang Fei glared at him angrily, reluctantly took off the flagon from his belt behind his back, handed it to the silver carp reluctantly, and said, "We will have a wrestling competition tomorrow, do you dare?"

The silver carp took the jug, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then patted his chest vigorously, "Why don't you dare, just compare."

Zhang Fei gave a cold 'cut', looked back at Huang Zhong, and shouted: "Uncle Han, it's almost ready, there are still tasks tonight."

Let the fun go, and the troubles come back to the troubles, and the business should not be delayed at all.

Huang Zhong shot an arrow and hit the bull's-eye, tightened the reins of the horse, moved his shoulders, and responded loudly: "Since that's the case, let's go back and prepare. There are still more than two hours before Wushi. Let the brothers eat and drink enough. Never let up."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, their faces relaxed.

At this moment, a man from the City Guard came running quickly.

"Zhang Zongbing, Hua Zongbing, Huang Zongbing, the military advisors are here to invite you."

Zhang Fei, Hua Chuan, and Huang Zhong looked at each other with solemn expressions, and rode on their horses and hurried towards the barracks.

After a while, the three arrived at Xun Yu's tent.

Before going in, I saw a man from the hidden guard come out from inside, clasped his fists at the three of them, and left.

The three of Zhang Fei frowned, and the information suddenly sent by the secret guard seemed to be not simple.

When the three entered the tent, Xun Yu was already standing next to the map to measure the distance. When he heard the footsteps of the three, he turned around and pointed to the futon beside him, signaling the three to sit down and talk.

"Just now you also saw that the secret guards sent news that there was a Xuzhou army disguised as a caravan, transporting a large amount of grain and grass into Yangguan. The leader of this army...is him."

Xun Yu picked up a portrait from the shelf beside it, and the basic information of the character was written under the portrait.

What made Zhang Fei and the others frown was that this person was not a general under Cao Cao's command, but one of Tao Qian's generals.

"What a good old man Tao Qian, we came to help him kill the enemy, but he is so good that he allows his subordinates to cooperate with the enemy!" Zhang Fei was furious.

On the contrary, Huang Xu looked at the portrait of that man, frowned and said: "This man is from a bandit, maybe he has no direct relationship with Tao Qian, as far as I know, although Tao Qian has many soldiers and food, but these soldiers are not very obedient .”

"good."

Xun Yu looked at Huang Xu, nodded and said: "I also think that this matter should have nothing to do with Tao Gong, even he was kept in the dark, this Chang Xi is a capricious person, it is not surprising that he behaved like this Things."

"However, we were ordered to defend against the enemy here, but he sold grain and grass to Cao Jun so blatantly. It is really unreasonable. What do you guys think? Do you want to give it to..."

"Cough, cough, cough." Huang Zhong coughed lightly before Xun Yu could finish speaking.

Xun Yu came back to his senses, and saw that everyone was smiling at him, which reflected it.

He bowed apologetically, cupped his hands and said, "Well, please trouble Longxiwei's brothers to go there, don't care about anything else, but this Changxi must be arrested and sent to Mr. Tao Haosheng, so that he can find a way to restrain him My subordinates, so as not to break the rules."

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Military commander, don't worry, this matter is easy."

···
Xuzhou, Donghai County.

Several fishermen in unlined clothes were carrying heavy fishing nets by the sea.

This fishing net is made of vines, not for fishing, but for cultivating kelp and seaweed.

Chen Deng took a booklet, flipped through it curiously, and said after a long time: "That's right, the next step is to wrap the seedlings, and then fix them in the shallow sea next to the reef area."

Zang Ba looked at the rattan nets curiously, and asked in doubt: "This will be able to mass-produce seaweed?"

Chen Deng was also puzzled, but after glancing at the brochure, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, Mr. Wei will never fool us. What good does it do him?"

Zang Ba shook his head, pointed to the endless sea, and said: "If that's the case, this area can still be full of wealth, two cents a catty, and this seaweed can grow hundreds of thousands of stones in a few months. We can’t eat it, we’re not white anymore.”

Chen Deng didn't take it seriously, instead he laughed and said: "Just relax, don't talk about hundreds of thousands of stones, even ten times more, the Wei family can eat it, according to Wei Shijun's method, ten times more Wanshi seaweed is only a few thousand stones in the end, which is pitifully small.”

"What, why is there such a big difference?"

Zang Ba doesn't understand these things, but the difference between a hundred thousand and a few thousand is not even a single star.

Chen Deng nodded slightly, and explained: "The water content of seaweed is relatively high. There is no way to do it. Fortunately, dried seaweed can be sold for [-] yuan a catty, and it is easy to transport and store for a long distance. It’s also lucrative.”

Zang Ba waved his fingers and calculated the total. After drying, the price directly increased by fifteen times, and he could ship more goods and sell more at one time, so he killed two birds with one stone.

"It's done, Zang will let the brothers weave the net, no matter how you want to fill this sea, hahaha."

Chen Deng smiled slightly, and hurriedly waved his hands to persuade him: "Don't be too happy too early, planting seaweed also pays attention to the right time and place, and if you plant too much, you may lose even more. If there are a few more strong winds this summer, I'll see if you regret it at that time." .”

Zang Ba's eyelids twitched, that's right, he also had lingering fears about how terrifying the seaside wind was.

However, watching Chen Deng's seedlings being dragged into the sea one after another, he seemed to see a cartload of Xuanjia, how could he not be moved by this.

After hesitating for a while, Zang Ba clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yuanlong, please help me to give some advice on which other coasts are suitable for planting seaweed. Zang doesn't eat alone. How about we split the bill later?"

"Twenty-eight split?" Chen Deng narrowed his eyes.

Zang Ba didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly: "That's right, you two and eight, as for whether you give Tao Gong a share of the benefits, that's your business."

Speaking of this, Zang Ba did not hide anything, and added: "Zang estimates that your Chen family will not give up such a huge profit to others, right?"

Chen Deng frowned slightly, as if secretly thinking about the pros and cons, mainly considering Tao Qian's reaction after he knew about it.

At this moment, a man hurriedly ran over from a distance.

"General, a man who calls himself Wei's Long Xiwei is asking to see him."

Zang Ba raised his thick eyebrows, and hurriedly shouted: "Bring it quickly."

Not long after, a member of the Dragon's Breath Guards wearing a camouflage uniform appeared in front of the two. ,

The team members clasped their fists in a salute, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "General Zang, the military adviser ordered me to send a message that Taikang County is no longer worrying. In addition, I found an outpost of Cao Jun in Yangguan. The military adviser invited the general to go with me. After all, this is the boundary of Xuzhou , I can’t wait to act easily.”

Zang Ba was taken aback when he heard the words, even Chen Deng on one side was in disbelief.

"Just a few days before and after, you have stabilized the situation in Taikang County?"

The team members glanced at Chen Deng, cupped their fists and saluted, and said, "Yes, more than 260 enemies were killed, and [-] people were captured, and several bandit dens were wiped out, and they were directly handed over to the local villagers."

The team members said it very easily, as if these things were just done by hand, not worth mentioning.

Zang Ba and Chen Deng looked at each other. They were originally going to Langya County, but they were delayed by Tao Qian and came here to explore the seaweed farming coast. It took only three to five days. Unexpectedly, Xun Yu had already won one in Langya. base.

With Taikang County as an outpost, it became much easier to counterattack Cao Jun.

However, Zang Ba and Chen Deng did not contribute at all. Fortunately, they are still the hosts, and they are a little blush and shy when they think about it.

"General."

Several men in military uniform came carrying a large box, and they all looked at the Dragon's Breath Guards with a bit of fear and strangeness in their eyes.

Seeing this, Zang Ba frowned and said, "What is this?"

The faces of those men in uniform were very ugly.

The members of the Dragon Breath Guard clasped their fists in a salute, and said without changing expression: "It's a gift from the military advisor to Mr. Tao."

Zang Ba and Chen Deng looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

At this time, the leading man in uniform stepped forward and walked behind Zang Ba, whispering in his ear: "General, there is a person in the box."

Zang Ba was startled when he heard this.

The dragon breath guards stepped forward to open the box.

"Hmm, Zang Ba, let me go."

"Changxi!"

Zang Ba opened his eyes wide. This Chang Xi's real name is Chang Ba, and Xi is his gang name, which means a man as ferocious as a wild boar.

Zang Ba did know him, and had a little friendship with him. When Tao Qian recruited bandit leaders like them, Chang Xi was also recruited, but why was he arrested by Wei's people?
The Dragon Breath Guards didn't wait for Zang Ba to ask, and said in a deep voice: "This person secretly communicated with Cao Jun about the song, and sold the grain he snatched from civilians to Cao Jun at a low price. After being discovered by our people, he claimed to be A general under Tao Gong, so the military advisor asked me to send him here."

Speaking of this, the members of the Dragon Breath Guards turned their faces away, and looked straight at Zang Ba, as if they were saying: Please give us an explanation.

Zang Ba and Chen Deng looked at each other, feeling embarrassed for a while.

They are fighting Cao Jun head-on over there, but our people are collaborating with the enemy behind the back. If we don't give an explanation, I'm afraid it can't be justified.

It's just that Chang Xi is a capricious person, even Tao Qian doesn't bother to pay attention to him, but now he does such a stupid thing, it's simply not a pity to die.

Zang Ba's expression changed, and he directly pulled out the saber from his waist.

Seeing this, Chang Xi, who was tied up in the box, was terrified, "Zang Ba, you, you can't kill me. If you kill me, how can you make other brothers believe in you? I just killed a few untouchables. If you resold a little food and grass, you are not guilty of death."

Zang Ba frowned, they were recruited by Tao Qian together, and Sun Guan, Yin Li, Wu Dun and the others agreed to go forward and retreat together. The suspicion and dissatisfaction of several other people came.

However, in front of Long Xiwei, he couldn't help but show it.

Just when Zang Ba was hesitating, a green glow flashed behind him.

Chen Deng drew out his sword and stabbed Chang Xi's neck with a sword, so fast that even Zang Ba had no time to react.

"Chen Yuanlong, how dare you!?" Zang Ba was furious, and Chang Xi belonged to him no matter what.

Chen Deng didn't even look at him, but bowed his hands to the Dragon's Breath Guards, and said shamelessly: "Master Xun laughed, Chen will tell Mr. Tao about this as soon as possible, and he must give an explanation to the envoy of Wei. General, please tell Xun Junjun, the spies have been executed."

The members of the Dragon Breath Guard glanced at Zang Ba, nodded slightly, clasped their fists in salute, and left straight away.

Zang Ba and Chen Deng looked at Chang Xi, who was dying in the box, with different expressions.

Chen Deng said in a deep voice: "Zang Ba, if you hesitated just now, you might be on Wei's blacklist."

Zang Ba was stunned for a moment, then frowned and reprimanded: "Chen Yuanlong, don't be alarmist, you killed Chang Xi, this matter is endless."

Chen Deng sneered, and said in a serious tone: "If I hadn't killed him just now, you would have become the chief culprit who shielded Chang Xi from collaborating with the enemy. No matter if it's Tao Gong or Wei Shijun, they won't make it easier for you. Si Yexiang's Xuanjia, and even a pair of them can't be obtained."

"This……"

Zang Ba's face changed drastically. It was a matter of his own interests, so he had to calm down.

Chen Deng looked at Chang Xi in the box, covered the box a little disgusted, and turned around to persuade him, "Think about it carefully, whether to give Chang Xi a death sentence or let him bite at random. If you don’t know about Chang Xi colluding with the enemy and selling grain, it doesn’t mean that your other brothers don’t know about it either.

Zang Ba's face changed again and again, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.

Looking at the box slowly oozing blood, and the beach stained red with blood, Zang Ba's expression changed inexplicably, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Deng glanced at him, and looked at the fishermen who were trawling the net, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Wei's people are easy to deal with, Tao Qian's side may not be able to explain it.

If he knew that Chang Xi was collaborating with the enemy and selling food, he would definitely be more afraid of Zang Ba and others, which would make the situation in Xuzhou even worse.

Today, Chen Deng is also a little shaken, Tao Qian is really not a good leader.

Incompetence, lack of leadership, suspicious nature, and a strong sense of superiority among the gentry, these are not the weaknesses that a good leader should have, and Tao Qian undoubtedly has all of them.

···
Hedong, Anyi.

The night is like frost, sprinkled on the bell tower that reaches the sky.

About three feet away from the bell tower, there seemed to be a dividing line leading to the human world. The original cold moonlight was instantly replaced by the lights of the human world. The colorful lights fell on the wall, reflecting the surrounding streets like daytime.

Under the clear sky of three feet, thousands of bright lights.

Bai Chuyi walked out of a shop named Jinyu Mantang with his junior sister Shuangxi, holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand.

"Senior Sister, that jade pendant is your most cherished thing, just changed it like this, don't you feel bad?"

Shuangxi grabbed Bai Chuyi and told her to think about it carefully, not to do anything that she would regret.

However, Bai Chuyi seemed to have made up his mind, a flash of determination flashed in his gray pupils, he shook his head and said, "It has no meaning to me anymore, keeping it will only make me sad, why not exchange some money and make me happy?" You and I have a good time."

The two had traveled all the way, and there was not much money left. Although Xie Yu has been taking good care of them these days and has given them money and food coupons many times, it is not a long-term solution.

The most valuable things on Bai Chuyi's body are the saber and the jade pendant. Since seeing Wei Cheng's back that day, inquiring about Wei Cheng's identity, and knowing that Wei Cheng is about to marry Xie Yu, she seems to have figured it out. What, so, decided to sell the jade pendant.

No matter what, Bai Chuyi didn't want to be that kind of third party, besides, Xie Yu was very kind to their seniors and sisters, although...she deliberately concealed something.

Bai Chuyi forced a smile and said: "Okay, don't say so much, I didn't expect that jade pendant to be so valuable. Now that we have money and a lot of tickets, don't you always want to eat cake? Go buy it now." How about a piece?"

Shuangxi pursed her lips, she was gluttonous, but seeing Bai Chuyi forced a smile at this moment, how could she still have appetite?
"Senior sister, you, you seem to be avoiding something on purpose. Although I'm ignorant, I can still tell that you're scared, right?" Shuang Xihong said with choked eyes.

Bai Chuyi frowned, clenched his silver teeth, and the plain hand that was holding the brocade box was twisted until the knuckles turned white.

"Senior Sister, that jade pendant is related to the secret of your life experience, no matter what, you will not sell it, you must have something to hide from me, right?" Shuangxi cried.

"I do not have……"

Bai Chuyi's feeble rebuttal could not convince Shuangxi at all.

"My lady, are you from the Bai family in Guanzhong?"

The two teachers and sisters raised their eyes and saw a tall, red-haired and blue-eyed man from the Western Regions excitedly staring at Bai Chuyi's gray pupils.
