At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 323 Xie Waner's Worry
"It's good to fight."

"In the past two years, the soldiers and horses in Xiliang have been too comfortable."

"If we don't fight anymore, I'm afraid some people will even forget how to charge into battle."

Xiao Han said: "Some of the shortcomings of Jizhou in the past have already appeared in Xiliang, but they were discovered early, so I suppressed them."

"In a word, the lives of the people are the most important."

Xie Xuanli said: "The noble families cannot be too indulgent, and the meritorious service cannot be too presumptuous. Those who should be suppressed should be suppressed, those who should be divided should be divided, and those who should be supported should be supported."

"If we take over the two states of Northern Wei and manage them well for a few years, we will have a much better chance of success whether we continue to attack Wei or go south to fight for the Central Plains."

"You have the ambition to take over the world and shoulder the responsibility of the people, but you must not be careless."

Xie Xuanli warned: "The immortal realm on land is not invincible. Even if it is truly invincible, there are still many invisible opponents hiding in the darkness. No matter what you do, you must be cautious and make plans before you act."

"I will definitely keep in mind the Marquis's teachings."

He nodded.

"In my life, I have killed countless people and was called a butcher. Who would have thought that I would have a happy ending in the end?"

Xie Xuanli smiled and said, "The past few years in Shuiyun Mountain should be the most comfortable time since I started the army. I have no worries, no need to worry about anything, and no need to think about anything.

Jiangnan, thousands of miles away.

In the elegant courtyard, a solitary moon hangs high in the sky, casting soft moonlight that shines through the windowsill into the room. The cool evening breeze dispels the heat in the courtyard.

A woman in red was concentrating on reading a book. She had a graceful figure and a pretty face, but between her brows there was a strong sense of sadness. Her pretty face was as pale as white jade.

A personal servant was serving by the side, adding oil and grinding ink, and occasionally glancing at the woman out of the corner of her eye.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

The life of Xie Wan'er, the former eldest lady of Jizhou, is still the same as before, even though Jizhou was destroyed, the Xie royal flag fell and was replaced by the Xiao royal flag.

When Xiliang annexed Jizhou, the new King of Xiliang did not massacre the Xie family, nor did he hunt down and kill the children of the Xie family.

Xie Wan'er was merely stripped of her title of princess and demoted to a commoner. Apart from that, there were no other impacts.

Some even thought that Xiao Han's ambiguous attitude towards the Xie family made Xie Wan'er's many days in the Jiangnan family much better than before.

After all, Xiliang and Jizhou are one, the Xie and Xiao families, and Xie Xuanli's identity is here. No matter what happens, Xiao Han will always support this former princess of Jizhou.

Although the aristocratic families in Jiangnan are the most powerful, they dare not offend the King of Xiliang, who controls four states and has 500,000 cavalry.

suddenly.

Xie Wan'er, who was reading a book, frowned and showed a look of pain on her face. She covered her heart tightly with her hands and gasped heavily. After just a few breaths, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Miss."

"What happened to you?"

At this moment, Xie Wan'er felt her whole body trembling and her heart was in severe pain.

His face turned from pale to blue, and he bit his lips hard until the corner of his mouth was broken and soaked with blood.

When the personal maid saw this scene, she immediately wanted to go outside to call for help, but was held back by Xie Wan'er with her last bit of strength.

He shook his head and smiled miserably: "I'm fine."

"It's all right."

The maid broke free from her hand and ran out of the room. Her shouting alarmed the entire courtyard, and many servants came hurriedly carrying lanterns.

"what happened?"

"Go and call the doctor quickly."

"Miss Wang suddenly had heart pain."

Soon, the doctor arrived. Xie Wan'er had already been helped to lie on the bed. Her whole body was twitching and she was sweating coldly.

The doctor was helpless, and it took half an hour for the pain to slowly subside.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my young lady?" The maid wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked hurriedly.

"It's weird, it's weird"

The doctor frowned and asked in confusion, "Although Madam's pulse is weak, it is still stable. Does she have any other symptoms? Is it just a pain in the chest? Is there something so sad that she is so angry?"

"No."

The maid shook her head: "My young lady was reading in the room when she suddenly felt heartbroken."

"But poisoned?"

The old woman in the mansion asked with a gloomy face, if Xie Wan'er got into trouble in the courtyard and angered the King of Xiliang, disaster would befall her.

“No poison.”

The doctor confirmed: "This is because Madam's constitution is weak and she needs more nourishment."

"I am fine."

Xie Wan'er said, "Give the doctor ten taels of silver, and distribute them all.

The servants and slaves surrounding the room retreated, and after the old woman gave a few instructions, she also left with her people.

The room suddenly became quiet. Xie Wan'er looked at her personal maid and said, "When I got sick just now, I suddenly felt palpitations and an inexplicable sadness. Then my heart started to ache."

"Heart palpitations and sadness?"

The maid said weakly: "I heard that if they are blood relatives, there will be a kind of connection and induction in the dark.

Did someone have an accident?
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid reacted and immediately shook her head: "I just heard it from others, it must not be true. Most likely, the young lady is in poor health and needs to rest more."

Xie Wan'er didn't listen to the rest of the words at all. She muttered to herself, "Unexpected."

"Yan'er, have you received any letters from Xiliang recently?"

she asked quickly.

"No."

The maid shook her head: "Miss, please don't let your imagination run wild. Everything will be fine."

Xie Wan'er felt more and more that something might have happened to Xie Xuanli.

"Father's health has not been very good. He was almost unable to hold on during the battle between Jizhou and Xiliang."

"Now that several years have passed, even though I've been recuperating in Shuiyun Mountain, accidents are unavoidable."

Xie Wan'er did not suspect that Xiao Han would plot against Xie Xuanli. She knew that Xiao Han was not that kind of person.

"Yan'er, send someone to Xiliang tonight."

"it is good."

At this time, an uninvited guest came outside the mansion. He was wrapped in a white Taoist robe and carried an ancient sword on his back.

It was none other than the Great Immortal of Wudang Mountain, the current head of Wudang, and the Lord of the Taoist Palace.

The copper ring on the gate of the mansion was pulled, and two servants came out with gloomy faces. However, after seeing the young Taoist's attire, they put away their expressions and asked, "What's the matter, Taoist priest?"

"I was entrusted by the King of Xiliang to come to your mansion to take Xie Wan'er to Xiliang."

"King of Xiliang?"

The servant showed a look of horror and hurried back to report. Before he knew it, the old woman who had just gone to bed came to greet the young Taoist priest with a cane and a man in his thirties.

"Disrespect, disrespect."

After seeing the young Taoist priest's appearance, the second master of the Lu Mansion was shocked and said with a fist: "Lu has seen the great Taoist priest."

"Madam, this is the head of Wudang, the Grand Master, the Palace Master of Dao Palace."
