() The two had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Xia Cheng lived, and when they were about to step in, a voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Brother, what you said is wrong. We are all father's sons. Why can't we go in and see his old man? His old man is seriously ill now, and it's time for us to show our filial piety. What is your intention to make things difficult for you?" Just after he finished speaking, there were a few echoing voices , Listen to the voice, it's not just one person.

Hearing this voice, both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, who had just stepped forward, stopped involuntarily. They looked at each other at the same time, with wry smiles on their faces.Of course they could tell that the owner of this voice was Xia Cheng's son Xia Ting.And those echoing voices, they all recognized that they were also Xia Cheng's other sons, including the third son Xia Ting who was most loved by Xia Cheng.

Xia Cheng has many sons, and none of these young masters are easy-going.Although Xia Cheng's eldest son was Xia Ziteng, before Xia Cheng's critical illness, he never mentioned which son he wanted to be his eldest son.In this way, Xia Ziteng's younger brothers naturally had other ideas.After all, no one is willing to submit to others, especially under the premise that the talents of these young masters are not inferior to Xia Ziteng.

Before Xia Cheng was critically ill, these young masters were already fighting fiercely, but with Xia Cheng's suppression from above, they didn't dare to be too blatant.But now that Xia Cheng is critically ill, the matter of the successor of the Xia family army has to be put on the bright side. Regarding this matter, Xia Ziteng, Xia Ting and others can be said to have a small quarrel every three days, and a big fight every five days. Quarrel.Zhang Sailiang had been here a few times before, and almost every time he encountered quarrels between these young masters.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang bit the bullet and walked into the yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw that the people in the yard were divided into two sides.Standing guard at the door of the wing room was a large group of soldiers. Among the soldiers, the one wearing a black robe was none other than Xia Cheng's eldest son, Xia Ziteng.On the other side, there were only three of them, but they were all the sons of Mr. Xia.

The first person is Xia Cheng's second son Xia Ting, and next to Xia Ting are the third son Xia Wen and fourth son Xia Wu.These three people are all born to Erniang, brothers.Compared with Xia Ziteng, they are naturally much closer.Even if it is to earn a position, Xia Ting is much better than Xia Ziteng.So in the past few days, the three brothers and younger brothers also formed a group, united front to deal with Xia Ziteng.

Among the three brothers, although Xia Wen looks weak and has no strength to restrain his hands, but in terms of profound knowledge, Xia Wen is the head of all brothers.So Xia Wen also took the lead in attacking, citing scriptures together, talking a lot, and finally expressing such a purpose: As your elder brother, Xia Ziteng, if you don't let our brothers visit Dad, that is a lack of human relations!

It's just that although Xia Wen's eloquence is eloquent, Xia Ziteng seems to have learned his fourth brother's verbal skills a long time ago. He didn't take Xia Wen's words into his left ear and out of his right ear at all, and finally replied with one sentence: " Dad is not feeling well, and no one can see him."

In fact, everyone knew what Xia Ziteng was thinking, but he didn't want Xia Ting and others to meet Xia Cheng at such a critical moment.In any case, Xia Ziteng is also the eldest son. In terms of identity, as long as Xia Cheng does not explicitly designate other brothers as heirs, Xia Ziteng can legitimately inherit Xia Cheng's position after a hundred years.So Xia Ziteng didn't want to make extra trouble at this time, and let Xia Ting and the others take advantage of it.

Being teased by Xia Ziteng, Xia Wen really felt like a scholar met a soldier.And Xia Wu on the side naturally wouldn't just let it go so easily, he rolled his eyes and winked at Xia Ting.Aren't you going to be pretty?Then we will all be pretty.

Seeing Xia Ting's eyes, Xia Wu, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately agreed.He strode straight towards the door of the wing room, and shouted loudly: "I must meet Daddy today. I want to see, who dares to stop me?"

Xia Wu has a strong back, and since he started fighting on the battlefield in his early years, he naturally has a lot of killing spirit on him, walking towards this way so recklessly, really scared the soldiers back.

"Bold!" Xia Ziteng was also frightened by Xia Ting's actions. He took three steps back and his back was already pressed against the door. Then he regained his strength and immediately shouted: "This is Daddy Jing A place to rest. How dare you be so presumptuous."

"Hmph! Daddy rests quietly?" Xia Ting spoke at this time, smiled coldly, and said, "That sounds good. After Daddy fell ill, we brothers never saw Daddy again. You said Daddy is resting quietly, don't you?" Let's meet, then why do you stay here? What's going on with daddy now, you just talk about it. Maybe, daddy has been killed by you long ago. "

"Nonsense." Xia Ting dumped such a big pot of shit on Xia Ziteng's head, how could Xia Ziteng give in?Immediately pointing at Xia Ting, he shouted: "What kind of idea are you planning in your mind? Do you really think I don't know? Do you think you can succeed by framing me like this? Ah! I know. You must want to rush into the room like this , disturbing daddy's recuperation, and pissing daddy off to death." As the saying goes, it's not indecent, Xia Ziteng simply followed Xia Ting and the three of them.

Now the brothers are arguing even more fiercely. You accuse him of having malicious intentions, and he accuses you of ulterior motives.In short, if people who do not know them see them, they will not believe that they are brothers at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies.

Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang who were standing at the door were full of bitterness. Xia Cheng is not dead yet, and these sons have made such a fuss. If Xia Cheng really went, wouldn't the Xia family army be in chaos.At that time, there will be turmoil in the Xia family's army and strong enemies outside. I'm afraid that the hegemony that Xia Cheng and his important ministers have worked so hard for for several years will collapse like this.

It's not a problem to just watch them quarreling like this. Both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang took a deep breath, stepped forward at the same time, and began to persuade Xia Ziteng and others.It's just that, although Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang are earnest, but they are related to their own future, Xia Ziteng and the others are unwilling to give in, on the contrary, the quarrel becomes more and more serious.

"Shut up!" Just as the brothers were arguing more and more, and they were about to make a move, a shout suddenly sounded.Xia Ziteng and the others are now arguing vigorously. After being drank like this, everyone's eyes are rounded, and they want to see who is so bold.

But when they turned their gazes to the direction of the sound, they were all dumbfounded, and they all knelt down, not only them, but also the soldiers beside them, as well as Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang who came to persuade the fight. Kneeling down, everyone shouted in unison: "See you, my lord (Daddy)."

Xia Cheng's face was ashen, and with the help of his maid, he stood tremblingly at the door of the wing room, but his pale cheeks and dark lips showed that he was still seriously ill.He glared at the Xia Ziteng brothers angrily, and said coldly, "I'm not dead yet. You don't need to be so anxious to take my place."

When Xia Cheng said this, the four Xia Ziteng brothers were lying on the ground and dare not get up, their heads covered in cold sweat.Don't look at Xia Cheng's current illness, but the majesty that Xia Cheng has accumulated over the years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Xia Ziteng's brothers. How dare they touch Xia Cheng's bad luck when Xia Cheng is angry?

Xia Cheng snorted coldly, with a look of resentment, spat, and cursed: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you all get out of here! A bunch of disgraceful things."

After being scolded by Xia Cheng, the brothers Xia Ziteng immediately left the courtyard in desperation, but after leaving the courtyard, the three brothers Xia Ziteng and Xia Ting glared at each other fiercely, and went their separate ways.As for his sons, after they left, Xia Cheng also showed a sense of helplessness on his face, shook his head, and coughed a few more times.

At this time, Xia Cheng said to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang who were still kneeling on the ground: "Brothers of the Zhang family, do you come to see me for something important? Come in and talk." I went back to the room by myself.

With Xia Cheng's permission, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang also hurriedly stood up.Although they were as afraid of Xia Cheng as the Xia Ziteng brothers, there was a little more joy on their faces at the moment.When Xia Cheng wakes up, he can make decisions on many things.Immediately, the two of them followed Xia Cheng into the wing.

In the wing room, with the help of those maidservants, Xia Cheng leaned directly on the couch and covered his stomach with a quilt. At the same time, a maidservant next to him quickly wet a silk scarf with water and put it on the bed. On Xia Cheng's forehead.With the cold silk scarf covering his forehead, Xia Cheng turned his gaze to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, and said slowly, "Tell me, what's the bad news?"

Although the tone of Xia Cheng's words was very plain, when they fell into the ears of Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, they couldn't help shaking their whole bodies, and looked at each other with a bit embarrassed expression.Although they were in a hurry to find Xia Cheng to explain the matter before, but at the end of the day, they didn't dare to speak up. When they heard the news of Xia Shanyue's death in battle, they made Xia Cheng look like this. Tell Xia Cheng the whole thing, and Xia Cheng will die of anger immediately.

Seeing the appearances of Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, Xia Cheng sighed, shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "You guys said. Did Brother Huai lose the battle?" ? Don't worry, I won't die so easily."

Xia Cheng had already talked about this, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang naturally did not dare to hide it anymore, Zhang Sailiang immediately handed over the military information that Zhang Sailiang had given him before, and the maid handed it to Xia Cheng.Although Xia Cheng said it lightly just now, when he got the military information, he seemed to understand that there would be no good news in this military information, and his hands couldn't help shaking.

Slowly opened the kit, and read the military information inside from the beginning to the end, but in the process of reading the military information, Xia Cheng's hands slowly calmed down. In the end, Xia Cheng took a deep breath. In a low tone, he slowly twisted the military information in his hand into a ball, put it under his body, and said calmly to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang: "So what's going on in Quzhou?"

Seeing Xia Cheng's appearance, both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang were secretly relieved, thinking that Xia Cheng was not angry because of this incident.But they didn't notice that Xia Cheng put his hand under the quilt, but he grabbed his hand and clenched it into a fist, and his blue veins bulged.

Zhang Sailiang explained the situation in Quzhou. According to the report of the spies placed by the Xia family army on the border between Quzhou and Xinzhou, the Quzhou army did not seem to show signs of continuing to invade westward and southward.And Yang Huai, who stayed behind in Dongguan, also planned to lead the army back to Shangrao to plead guilty after Zhang Dingtian's injury stabilized a little.

After listening to Zhang Sailiang's answer, after a while, Xia Cheng sighed, slowly let go of the hand in the quilt, raised his hand and said to Zhang Sailiang: "Forget it, there is no need to mention the words of apology. Yes. You sent someone to inform Brother Huai that the defeat in this battle was not his fault, so that he doesn't have to feel too guilty, and the most important thing is to heal his injuries. By the way, have you informed Zhang Huaxuan and Sai about this matter? Marshal Zhuge Hu?"

"Master Zhang. You have already informed Master Zhang and Master Hu." Zhang Sailiang immediately replied that Zhang Sailiang and him had already made two-handed preparations just now. If Xia Cheng didn't wake up, they would go with Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge Discuss how to deal with this matter.Therefore, Zhang Sailiang asked Zhang Sailiang to notify Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge early.

"En!" Xia Cheng nodded, and then said: "This is not a place for discussion. After I change my clothes, we will go to the meeting palace and wait for Zhang Huaxuan, Sai Zhuge Hu, and the others to come, and then discuss the results." The wing itself is not big. Xia Cheng and these maidservants, together with Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, already seem a bit crowded. If Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge are added, it will be too crowded, so Xia Cheng It is still more appropriate to decide to go to the Palace of Discussion together.

Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang naturally did not dare to deny Xia Cheng's decision.Although he was a little worried about Xia Cheng's body, but looking at Xia Cheng like this, there should be nothing wrong with him. The two immediately saluted Xia Cheng, stepped back, and waited for Xia Cheng to change clothes.After a while, Xia Cheng, who had changed into court clothes, rushed to the Palace of Discussion together with Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang with the help of the maidservant. At this time, Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge also rushed over.

After the two saluted Xia Cheng, they took their seats.The result of the battle in Quzhou was explained clearly by the people Zhang Sailiang sent to find them just now, so Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge's faces were not very good-looking.After Xia Cheng saw that everyone was seated, he said directly: "Everyone, the Quzhou plan has failed. I believe it will not be long before the Song army will use this as an excuse to attack us aggressively. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge glanced at each other. In fact, since the news of Xia Shanyue's death came a few days ago, they had already guessed the ending of the battle in Quzhou. Sincerely recommend withdrawal.However, in the past few days, the two of them did not do nothing, but often got together to discuss how to proceed next, so when Xia Cheng asked, Zhang Huaxuan immediately replied: "My lord, there is one subordinate Policy."

Among the advisers of the Xia family's army, although Hu Zhuge and Zhang Huaxuan were equally resourceful, Xia Cheng obviously trusted Zhang Huaxuan more, so after Zhang Huaxuan said this, Xia Cheng's eyes lit up immediately, and his sickly face also recovered. Many, and said: "Oh? Zhang Huaxuan already has a good plan? That's great. Come quickly."
