Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 168 Prince Jing and Son
"The plan still failed."

Prince Jing Xiao Changyuan slowly placed the invitation in his hand on the table, stood up with his hands behind his back and walked to the window of the study.

He is pale, with slender eyebrows and a short beard under his jaw.He is thin and thin, wearing a long red robe.In everything, strategy is the first priority, and weapons are the last.

It's almost November now, there was only a light rain last night, and the ground is full of withered yellow this morning.Although Jingzhou is located in the southwest corner of Dayan and is not outside the Great Wall, it can still feel the breath of winter.

The servants of Prince Jing's mansion swept the fallen leaves with brooms, Xiao Changyuan looked around, his eyes were full of desolation.

He is about the same age as King Qi and King Xiliang, but in the past two years, he obviously feels that his health is not as good as before.

The old generation who followed the late emperor to conquer the world has passed away one after another, and now their generation is gradually aging, and those who are active on the stage are all young people.The deposed prince Xiao Zhuo fought bloody battles with Xi Rong at the Langya pass, and the prince of Qi's son Xiao Beiheng took his father's place to lead the army to the west.

Maybe there will be nothing like these old guys in the world in the future.

"Prince Jing, the prince has arrived and is waiting outside the door." A servant reported behind him.

"Let him in." Xiao Changyuan returned to the table.

Just as the servant was about to leave, a man in his twenties wearing a crimson cloak strode in and said in a rough voice:
"Father, you said that Maple has sent invitations?"

Xiao Changyuan looked up at the young man and said with a smile, "That's right."

The young man snorted, turned around, untied his cloak, and threw it into the servant's arms.The servant left the door holding the cloak.

Xiao Kai, the son of Prince Jing, is different from the emaciated physique of his grandfather and father passed down from generation to generation. He is tall and mighty, with muscles like iron.The broad back looks as strong as a door panel, and its strength far exceeds the brain.

Xiao Changyuan picked up the invitation card on the table, Xiao Kai couldn't wait, snatched it away, and opened it for a closer look.

"It seems that Mei Pu's illness is cured." Xiao Changyuan smiled wryly, "He has a flirtatious nature, and he restrained himself a lot after his illness. Now that he has returned to his old ways, it can only be that his condition has improved."

Xiao Kai snorted and slapped the invitation on the table.

"Father, didn't you say that you must die if you get Fengfeng? Why didn't Maple die?"

Xiao Changyuan hesitated and said: "Maybe he met a good doctor. After all, the onset of plague is slow, and it is not as direct as poison."

Xiao Kai said angrily: "Waiting for two years in vain! If we knew this would be the result, why should we make a deal with King Doma? Let me directly lead the army to destroy Xiliang. Even if Meipu is not sick, he will still be able to defeat the enemy." But the Yanque sword in my hand. Father, you are too cautious! Now that King Doma has ceased fighting, all our hard work has been wasted."

Xiao Changyuan shook his head:
"Kayer, you don't understand. Being a father is not because you are afraid of Maple. King Doma occupied Xiliang, and others said it was a barbarian invasion at most. If we raise troops to attack Xiliang, it would be against the world. The king of Xiliang dedicated his daughter to Emperor Yongde is to protect his family's foundation. How can Emperor Yongde sit idly by when we attack Xiliang. Are we not seeking our own death when we fight against the emperor?"

Xiao Kai clenched his fists together and made a "bang" sound: "Father, with our current military strength in Jingzhou, even Emperor Yongde is actually nothing to worry about."

In the past two years, they have been recruiting troops, and now there are 20 troops ready to go out at any time.In Xiao Kai's view, he can already sweep the world.After all, no one would think that their territory is too big.

"What if King Qi also joins?" Xiao Changyuan asked back.

Xiao Kai didn't even hesitate: "That happened to be destroyed together."

"Kayer, your thinking is too simple." Xiao Changyuan was left speechless by this brainless son, "King Qi's military strength is comparable to ours. If he joins, we will be outnumbered. We are not justified, It is an enemy of the whole world, no one will stand on our side. What's more, if you occupy Xiliang, you will directly confront Xirong. At that time, there are internal and external troubles, even if you have the Yanque Sword in your hand, how many people can you kill? .”

Xiao Kai turned around impatiently and said: "Then use tricks, use tricks, use every day...Now King Qi is fighting Beidi in the northeast, if you don't send troops at this time, let's wait!"

Xiao Changyuan said: "No rush, let's discuss slowly."

In fact, he also felt that now was an opportunity to send troops to occupy Xiliang, and King Qi was entangled by Beidi.Half of Xiliang's territory has been occupied by Xirong.The Mei family lost troops and generals, and it was a time of weakness.

But before sending troops, one must first find out the reality of the opponent.This time, Maple's big wedding is a great opportunity.

Xiao Kai raised his hand and waved it in the air, as if to vent his anger: "Well, now that the invitation has been sent, shall we go or not?

"Go, of course." Xiao Changyuan picked up the torn invitation, "Do you know who else is going?"

"Who else?" Xiao Kai turned around again, seeming to be interested.

"Xiao Zhuo, and his wife Shen Yuexi."

Xiao Kai thought for a moment: "Shen Yuexi, is Shen Lan's cousin, the one she married before Xiao Zhuo was exiled?"

"Hehe, it's her and Xiao Zhuo who want to..." At this point, Xiao Changyuan suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and said to himself, "I really didn't expect that the other party's strategy is clever!"

"What strategy?" Xiao Kai was not that smart, and he didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Changyuan's words.

Xiao Changyuan also knew that his son needed advice, so he explained: "Kaier, do you know that Li Wan, the daughter of Marquis Pingyang, is Xiao Zhuo's cousin?"

"Li Wan is actually Xiao Zhuo's cousin?"

"Cough... Mei Pu married Li Wan, so Mei Pu is Xiao Zhuo's cousin-in-law. With this kind of relationship... Even if Xiao Zhuo wants to grab the territory of Xiliang, he is too embarrassed to do so."

Xiao Kai wasn't too stupid to be hopeless, he had already understood, and said, "So they did this to prevent Xiao Zhuo?"

"Xiao Zhuo has no army and no land outside the border. If you don't want to grab Xiliang, you can grab it," Xiao Changyuan said, "But with the brains of Mei Cheng and his son, they can't think of such a plan at all. Someone should guide them .”

Previously, the old king of Xiliang sent Mei Dai to the capital to protect the fiefdom of Xiliang.Now there is Meipu marrying Xiao Zhuo's cousin as his wife to prevent Xiao Zhuo from seizing Xiliang.The Mei family understood the marriage.

"It turns out that there are also excellent advisers in the Xiliang Army?" Xiao Kai asked.

Xiao Changyuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, Mei Cheng is cowardly and incompetent, and Mei Pu has a romantic nature, and he is promiscuous everywhere. Over the years, there is no counselor who would work for this father and son. The only one who could come up with such a scheme... ...It should be Mei Dai, right?"

"Mei Dai?" Xiao Kai curled his lips, "She is a woman who serves the king all day long, what kind of scheming can she have?"

"Men from the Mei family are not very capable, but this Mei Dai is different."

Xiao Changyuan has the unique intuition of a counselor, this intuition was passed on to him from his father, but unfortunately it was not passed on to his son Xiao Kai.

When Mei Dai entered the palace back then, she did not show the mountains or dew the water.As soon as Empress Pei, who was able to suppress her, died, she was immediately favored by Emperor Yongde, and pushed aside all concubines De. This is not something a brainless woman can do.

If Mei Dai was there, Xiliang might be really hard to deal with.

Not to mention anything else, now that Mei Pu and Li Wan are married, Xiao Zhuo is his relative.Not only did it prevent Xiao Zhuo from occupying Xiliang, but if the Jingzhou army sent troops to attack, Xiao Zhuo had to help the Mei family and his son defend it out of affection.

Xiao Zhuo's name is clear to him, not to mention Dayan God of War, it's almost the same.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to be an enemy of Xiao Zhuo.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changyuan said to Xiao Kai: "Go back and tell the concubine Shizi that your husband and wife will go to Xiliang to attend Meipu's big wedding on behalf of your father. Find out the real situation in Xiliang. We can decide whether to send troops or not."

"Where are you going, father?"

"Going to the capital for my father, find a way to meet that Mei Dai." Xiao Changyuan felt that it was necessary to get in touch with this Mei Dai, "She can influence His Majesty's thoughts, so I have to guard against it."

The last time I went to the capital, Emperor Guang and Emperor Yongde complained about King Qi and didn't pay much attention to Mei Dai.Can't be careless this time.
