Prime Minister take care

Chapter 319
"Cai Ji is dead?"

Among the remaining ruins of Cuijia Village, Yang Xian casually found an open space and sat down.

"Yes, the Chuhou Mansion said he died of illness. Cai Tong should have secretly executed him."

Ma Xiaocui stood aside and recounted the information about Chu Du.

"In addition, Cai Tong, at Cai Yun's request, pardoned the Yun family's [-] troops. Except for Yun Qu's son Yun Hu, the rest of the people were forgiven. After this, although the Yun family declined, they were not Destroy."

Yang Xian was a little surprised, obviously this was not Cai Tong's style.

"In order to appease the people in the Yun family, I heard that Cai Tong also revealed his intention to choose one of the Yun family's daughters to be Cai Yun's wife."

Yang Xian shook the fan in his hand, and a black shadow fell beside him, half-kneeling down.

"Lord!"

Jiu Yu wore a mask to hide his face, but his attitude was very humble and even flattering.

Ma Xiaocui on the side didn't like this protoss traitor, but she didn't show it.

"Lord, I'm going down first!"

Yang Xian nodded, and Ma Xiaocui quietly retreated.Jiu Yu could feel the estrangement from the whole group of Tsing Yi including Ma Xiaocui, but he didn't care.

Jiu Yu is very clear that his value lies, and also understands that the most important thing is to gain Yang Xian's trust.

"Have you found out the identity of the protoss who rescued Fuyu?"

"If I guess correctly, he should be San Luo."

"One of the four Sons of God?"

"Yes. San Luo is good at spatial displacement, and can even disguise himself perfectly, and even become exactly like Zhou people. If he wants to hide, it is not so easy to find. But I heard from the protoss we captured that at the beginning After the four sons of gods entered the human world, they had different opinions and finally parted ways. Both San Luo and Jiu Huai wanted to use violence to destroy the Zhou Empire from the outside."

"With such ability and such a plan, he is really a difficult guy to deal with!"

Yang Xian sighed leisurely, such a guy is hiding in the dark, just like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass. You don't know when it will jump out and bite you, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

"Lord, the Chu army is coming!"

Ma Xiaocui came back again with an anxious look on her face, but she brought such news.

Cui Laoer, the patriarch of Cuijia Village, was born in the military line. The location he chose to build the village is also very unique. He designed it completely as a military camp.

Guard the high places and seize dangerous points.

Yang Xian climbed up and looked up, only to see tens of thousands of Chu troops quickly weaving through the mountains, vaguely threatening to surround Cuijia Village.

In the Chu army formation, the banner with the word Wei was very conspicuous.

"Lord, do we want to withdraw?"

Ma Xiaocui reminded from the side.She didn't know the purpose of the Chu army's arrival, but the speed of the other party's march obviously exceeded her surprise.

Although Qingyi set up sentry posts outside Cuijia Village, the Chu army almost used a brave force to forcefully break through Qingyi's security net.

He knew clearly that his opponent had set up a guard post, but he ignored it. This was more of a demonstration than bravery.

"Need not!"

Yang Xian waved the feather fan in his hand, but he was very interested in the general who was leading the army.

"Where does the banner with the word "Wei" come from? I have never heard of this general number in Chu State before?"

"It's Wei He. It is said that he is a young general who was recruited by Cai Tong. This time he led [-] Xiling troops to Yingcheng. It was he who shocked the Yun family's army."

"It's him!" Yang Xian's eyes were filled with water. This was the number one traitor in the late Daliang Empire!
He was the unparalleled hero who single-handedly started the Yingjia Rebellion and destroyed half of the Daliang Empire. It took 13 years of turmoil before he was able to calm down.

Yang Xian only knew that after the fall of Chu, Wei He surrendered to Huan Wu and became a general, but he did not expect that he and Cai Tong had such a connection.

The Chu army quickly surrounded Cuijia Village, but did not attack.The army was divided into lines, surrounded by dozens of cavalry, Cai Tong slowly rode his horse into Yang Xian's field of vision.

Yang Xian waved his hand, and the group of Qingyi moved out of the way, allowing Cai Tong to come over.

Cai Tong's face was pale. Although he concealed it, he was much weaker than Yang Xian had imagined.

"The Marquis of Chu is in such a state now, but he still comes here on horseback. Isn't it a bit forced?"

Yang Xian laughed and saw Cai Tong leaving the guarding soldiers and walking over with the support of Fan Yue.

"When we are marching and fighting, where can we ride in a carriage? Even if my health is not good, I still have to hold on."

Fan Yue next to Cai Tong has naked hostility towards Yang Xian, which makes Tsing Yi beside him very nervous.

"Liang Jun has retreated to Wancheng at this time, leaving only an army to defend the city in Rang County. Who else does the Marquis of Chu want to fight?"

Yang Xian waved his fan and remained in a leisurely state among the thousands of troops.

A smile appeared on Cai Tong's pale face, and his neck was covered with sweat, but it was full of temptation.

"Although Liang Jun retreated, the Prime Minister's Zhechong Army is still outside Pingling, which keeps me awake at night!"

Cai Tong was able to tolerate the Shu army taking over the imperial mausoleum because Yang Xian came to help at that time.But this help can turn into taking advantage of others at any time now.

Cai Tong knew Yang Xian's thoughts very well. If Yang Xian was sure that Cai Ji was capable of replacing her that day, then he would not hesitate to let Mu Guhong capture and kill Cai Yun.

If it were Cai Tong, he would do the same.

"Pingling was originally borrowed by the Kingdom of Shu and the garrison of the Marquis of Chu. Since it was borrowed, it should naturally be returned."

Yang Xian's answer made Fan Yue look serious. They were here to demonstrate, but the other party didn't give them any face.

"The Prime Minister really has a good plan! However, Huan Wu is willing to see the fight between Shu and Chu. Did the Prime Minister really damage the friendship between the two families for the sake of a small gain?"

Cai Tong was more calm than Fan Yue, and said with a smile.

"In these troubled times, it is normal for you to fight for it. Wasn't it the same when the Marquis of Chu took Duan Xiao's inheritance?"

"I am not Duan Hui, and my son is not Duan Xiao. The Prime Minister is worrying too much."

Cai Tong's expression was gloomy and uncertain. To be honest, he felt a little guilty.Cai Tong had just eradicated the Yun family, but although the situation in Chu was stable, the hidden dangers had not been completely eradicated.

When Yang Xian was so sensitive, it really made Cai Tong a little worried.

"Is it?"

Yang Xian waved the feather fan in his hand with a meaningful smile.

When Cai Tong came here, he undoubtedly knew that he was seriously ill and wanted to create a good environment for Cai Yun.

However, Cai Tong was reluctant to hand over Pingling, which was the first and strongest line of defense outside Ying City.

"I would like to dedicate my youngest son Cai Ying to the King of Shu as his husband, what do you think?"

This old fox is very good at calculating!

Yang Xian looked at Cai Tong and said, "Since Marquis Chu has such a heart, I don't think His Majesty will object. In this way, the alliance between the two families should be solid."
