Chapter 99
When Shen Yuanjing saw Wei Xuan, the person who actually controls this place in Daxing City, he was a little surprised and asked, "I didn't expect that you are old enough to be here for only more than a year. I'm afraid you won't live long."
"Cough cough cough." Wei Xuan sat on the chair, coughing constantly, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen's eyes are like torches. I have been poisoned deeply. If I don't have a month, I will definitely die in the underworld."
"It's the poison of power, or the poison of medicine." Shen Yuanjing sat opposite him and asked faintly: "When Master Yinshi forced you to be sick at home, he didn't see you like this."
Wei Xuan coughed a few more times and said, "It's both. If I hadn't been blinded by power, how could I still be proud of my knowledge of being involved in a slut with the tiger without any precautions, and was disguised by Bai Qing'er and Yang You."
"Oh. This is interesting." Shen Yuanjing was intrigued and asked, "As far as I know, this Daxing City is still under the control of Brother Wei. What's going on?"
Wei Xuan said: "At that time, the Yingui Sect came to me and formulated a plan to kill Yinshi Master. I followed the method to send Bai Qing'er into the palace, and then provoked the ministers and contacted the party members. Perhaps it was too easy to succeed. I was a little unprepared and poisoned. It took me more than a few months to realize that now it is already deep in my heart and hopeless.
However, the Yingui Sect is a secret thing after all, and only knows some conspiracies. How can we understand the people's hearts and the power schemes? I only summoned Qu Tutong to Tongguan to guard, and all the ghosts and monsters disappeared. In the troubled times, soldiers and horses are in hand, which is better than what not to come?"
He coughed again, and after a while, he said, "It's just a pity that my son will die, and no one can inherit everything I have worked hard to get. If Yang You have to go, my whole family and young may not die well. Qu Tutong is also pedantic and entrusted to the rest of the people, and he will inevitably become a puppet of the Yingui Sect."
Shen Yuanjing kept looking at him and said, but he didn't interrupt. Wei Xuan waited for a while, but finally realized that he couldn't afford it. He coughed: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you don't like people in the martial arts world interfering in the government affairs, causing trouble to the rule of law, and wanting to cleanse the world, right?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "Is this the truth? What advice can Brother Wei give?"
"Hahahaha, cough cough." Wei Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I am worried that my descendants are too useless, but I am arrogant. I will inevitably offend others in the future. If I can be punished by Mr. Li and punished according to law, even if I am imprisoned, it will be better than a disaster for the whole family."
Shen Yuanjing said: "In this way, Brother Wei is going to give me this gift?"
Seeing that Shen Yuanjing was still very calm, Wei Xuan said, although he was a little puzzled, "But I also have the conditions, that is, Mr. Chen will accept my granddaughter as his disciple."
Shen Yuanjing laughed and said, "I thought you wanted Li Shimin to accept your granddaughter, but he found me, why?"
"Mr. Chen's name has spread all over the world. Who can disrespect the great master who is comparable to Ning Daoqi?" Wei Xuan held back his cough and smiled and said, "Changsun is also your apprentice. Even if the second son wins the world, can my daughter still be the queen? The name of the imperial concubine is not as respected as that of Mr. Chen's disciples."
"I won't accept it." Shen Yuanjing shook his head and said directly. Wei Xuan couldn't believe it: "Why?"
Shen Yuanjing asked back, "You also know what kind of things your descendants are. Why are you sure I will accept it?"
Wei Xuan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know everything? Is it that minister has made an agreement with you, or is it like rumors in the world that you really have connections with the Yingui Sect?"
If he wanted to join Shen Yuanjing's disciple, he would naturally be the legitimate daughter. His eldest son Wei Xiao died, and he left a daughter who was very strong and fought for the first place in everything. Recently, he was tempted by the Yingui Sect and did many bad things.
"Qu Tutong." Shen Yuanjing said to himself: "Before I came to Daxing, I went to Tongguan."
"Qu Tutong?" Wei Xuan was in disbelief and stood up suddenly, staring at him blankly, forgot to cough, and repeated: "When did Mr. Chen contact Qu Tutong?"
Shen Yuanjing still had no expression on his face and said, "Isn't he the one who asked you to recall Daxing City?"
Wei Xuan was stunned, and then remembered that it seemed that it had been a long time ago. He felt cold in his heart. He sat back on the chair dejectedly and said, "Mr. Chen's plan is really far-reaching. It turns out that whether it is Yinshi Master or I, they are all for Mr. Chen to make wedding dresses. It's a pity that you are not in the world and have made that kid Li Shimin freely."
Now, he has no ability to bargain. Even if he colludes with the Yin Gui Sect and fights against each other, it will be useless. As long as Qu Tutong announces his surrender to Li Shimin, the people in the city will never have the courage to fight.
Wei Xuan immediately lowered his head, clasped his fists and said, "Now, this Daxing City is handed over to Mr. Chen, please give me instructions. Cough cough cough cough cough!" Shen Yuanjing reached out and said, "I have a way to make you feel better."
Wei Xuan was happy and was about to agree, but was interrupted by a long cough. He coughed so hard that he burst into tears, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs. After finally recovering, he said, "No need, cough cough, my mansion must be covered with people from the Yingui Sect. I'm afraid that my physical condition is all under their control. Anyway, I'm going to die. It's better to use this body to promote this big event."
"Okay." Shen Yuanjing nodded, then discussed the details with the other party and the preferential treatment for the Wei family, and then left.
...
When he returned to Xiangyang, Li Shimin couldn't wait to invite Shen Yuanjing over and said, "Everyone, I just got the news that Xue Ju, the father and son of Xiqin, invaded the east, seemed to be moving in full force. According to the truth, Daxing was rich, and the last time he defeated Li Yuan, he did not lose much strength. Xue Ju would not be so unwise. Mr. Chen, what did you hear about this time?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "Wei Xuan was betrayed by the Yingui Sect and was poisoned. He probably wouldn't live for a few days. Perhaps because Lin Shihong, the subordinate of the Yingui Sect, had too far and was out of reach, they colluded with Xue Ju to raise their troops."
He told all the plans of Wei Xuan and Yin Gui Sect. Everyone here was shocked. Changsun Wuji couldn't help but say with some concern: "The Demon Sect is used to playing conspiracies and tricks. If nothing unexpected happens, there must be someone in the city colluding with Xue Ju, so I don't know what Qu Tutong will make."
This is what everyone is most worried about. Qu Tutong guards Tongguan, with elite soldiers and sufficient food and supplies. He also has a lot of force in Daxing City. If he had not had enough foundation in the court and had suppressed civil uprisings, he would have been unpopular and difficult to achieve dominance. Otherwise, he would have been able to become a prince.
Now that his willingness to give up independence is a huge force that determines the current situation in Guanzhong. It not only affects Li Shimin and Xue Ju, but even if he surrenders to Li Yuan, it will allow Tang Guoli to get Daxing City and increase its power greatly. Even Wang Shichong to the east, and even Li Mi, who is not far away, have a chance.
Li Shimin took two steps back and forth in the house and said firmly: "This is the key to speed. Taking advantage of the war between Wang Shichong and Li Mi, we must seize Daxing in front of Xue Ju. In this way, Li Jing, you go to the west to resist the enemy, and I will lead the troops to deal with Daxing. I was sure to defeat Qu Tutong back then. The situation is much better now, and I will definitely be able to do it."
Li Jing shook his head and said, "How can you take the lord as a heavy burden and take the blame for his own slightestness? The second young master will go to deal with Xue Ju, and I can only take Daxing. After Wei Xuan's death, there will be only a few fools in the city. If Qu Tutong is a smart man, he will not dare to lead troops to fight."
Li Shimin wanted to say something else, and Shen Yuanjing said, "It's settled so much, and it's not necessarily difficult to attack Daxing City. The problem is only to deal with Jingzhaolian in the future. Let Hongfu accompany Li Jing. As for Qu Tutong."
He gently uttered a few words: "I have already agreed."
