Chapter 976: Pry into the Jingxiang clan
The weather is clear and the wind is smooth, which is very suitable for traveling. οΌ)
Lumen Mountain ushered in the patriarch of the Xi family, this person is named Xi Zhen, he is not very old, just in his early twenties, younger than Wang Can.
Xi Frame was wearing a white robe, a long crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and his clothes were fluttering, looking elegant and noble.
He sat upright, looking very serious.
Wang Can is still dressed in the same way, wearing a linen robe and a ghost mask on his face, without the slightest change. Xi Zhen put his hands on his knees and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, and what is the matter with me?" β
Wang Can smiled and said: "Call Patriarch Xi and prepare to give Patriarch Xi a fortune, I wonder if Patriarch Xi is willing?" β
After hearing this, a gleam flashed in Xi Zhen's eyes.
He is only in his early twenties, and even though he is young and matures early, he still wants to revitalize the Xi family.
But the current situation in Jingzhou is that the Cai family and the Kuai family are dominant, and as for the Huang family and the Pang family, they are all hidden in the mountains and wilderness, and they have not openly stood up, so on the surface, the Kuai family and the Cai family control the situation. Xi Zhen also wants to become an official, and he also wants to carry forward the Xi family and glorify his ancestors, but with Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers in front, it is impossible for him to replace the three.
Even if Xi Zhen chooses to be a leader, he must be pressed, so he has not been out of office.
Although this is the case, it does not mean that Xi Zhen is willing to remain silent.
He is the head of the family, and his every move involves the fate of the Xi family. Not only that, the hundreds of people in the Xi family have to be maintained by Xi Zhen alone, which is a difficult thing.
Therefore, Xi Zhen still has an ambition.
Wang Can looked at Xi Zhen carefully, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Xi family should be easier to start with than the Ma family.
After Xi Zhen was silent for a while, he said: "Your Excellency asked me to come to Lumen Mountain to meet, but I don't even know who Your Excellency is, I don't know how Your Excellency will give me a fortune?" β
Wang Can asked with a smile, "What does Patriarch Xi think of the King of Shu?" β
Xi Zhen's sword eyebrows raised, his eyes stared at Wang Can, and he asked word by word: "Are you the person of the King of Shu?" Xi Zhen is also a smart person, and he immediately figured out the key to it.
The so-called wealth is undoubtedly defecting to the King of Shu.
If you want to be rich, you have to risk your life.
Wang Can stared at Xi Zhen with a smile and exclaimed: "Patriarch Xi is a little thorough, which is admirable." β
Xi Zhen said: "What do you want to do to serve the King of Shu?" β
Xi Zhen spoke very crisply, not as indecisive and hesitant as Ma Yong.
Wang Can was not in a hurry, and asked instead: "Patriarch Xi, are you really willing to submit to the King of Shu?" This matter is a major premise, otherwise I would not have allowed you to do things, nor would it have been possible for you to have access to secrets, otherwise you would have regretted it when the time came, wouldn't it have made my arrangement fall short and make you happy. β
Xi Zhen said: "What if I promise and then regret it? β
Wang Can said coldly: "If you promise to regret it, you will bear the wrath of the King of Shu, and a Xi family may not be able to bear it." β
Xi Zhen said-for-tat: "You have been killed, who can know?" β
Wang Can immediately retorted: "I'm just a small boss in charge of Xiangyang's affairs, you kill me, and then other people will be stationed in Xiangyang." If you kill the people who come after you, there will be a steady stream of people coming. But the people of the Xi family can't afford to be killed, and if one dies, there will be one less, especially if the Xi patriarch is killed, the loss will be great, so please ask the Xi patriarch to think about it carefully, and if you get on the ship of the King of Shu, you can't get down, and you can't regret it. β
When Xi Zhen heard this, his face changed.
Serving Wang Can, the king of Shu, means that a road goes to the dark, and this matter must be considered.
But Xi Zhen has long figured it out, he has never been out of office, not because he has no way, but because he is not optimistic about Liu Biao, and there are Kuai Yue and others in front, so he has not been out of office.
Now the people of the King of Shu took the initiative to come to the door, giving Xi Zhen a chance and a chance to the Xi family.
The name of the Shu army shocked the world and was irresistible.
The Xi family has taken refuge in Wang Can and will definitely rise. These thoughts kept turning in Xi Zhen's mind, and he quickly figured out the key to it.
Xi Zhen hugged his fists and said: "I have thought about it clearly, I am willing to submit to the king of Shu and never betray." β
Wang Can stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, he is worthy of being the head of the Xi family, he is simple enough and decisive enough, this is the person who does great things." I hope that when I work with Patriarch Xi in the future, Patriarch Xi will give me a lot of help. β
The second half of these words is just to hide his identity.
Wang Can picked up the pen and paper that had been prepared a long time ago, handed it to Xi Zhen, and asked Xi Zhen to sign and press his handprint.
This is done for the sake of safety.
After finishing the work, Xi Zhen asked, "What do you call Your Excellency?" β
Xi Zhen asked Wang Can's name, and he also had a plan in his heart. The person in front of him is in charge of the big and small affairs of Jingzhou, even if he is not an official, he must be an important person under the command of the King of Shu, so Xi Zhen wants to have a relationship with Wang Canla. It's just that what Xi Zhen didn't expect was that the person in front of him was the real King of Shu, and there was no other family.
Wang Can smiled and said: "The name is just a code name, after the King of Shu takes Xiangyang, I will work with the Xi patriarch, and the Xi patriarch will know my name." β
Xi Zhen said: "It's me who said it. β
Xi Zhen originally wanted to ask which people in the Jingxiang clan had returned to the King of Shu, but now he couldn't do it, so the things he wanted to ask in his heart were stillborn and he didn't ask anymore.
He changed the topic and asked, "Since you have submitted to the King of Shu, what do you want to do?" β
Wang Can said: "Only the Xi patriarch knows about the Xi family's obedience, and this matter will not be spread." Patriarch Xi is still from Xiangyang for the time being, and there is no need to reveal his identity, and when there is something that needs to be done by Patriarch Xi, I will have someone send a message to Patriarch Xi. Of course, it won't be too difficult for you to do something, and it won't put the Xi family in a dangerous place, please rest assured that Patriarch Xi. β
Xi Zhen arched his hand and said: "In this case, Zhen is relieved and takes his leave." β
After finishing speaking, Xi Zhen got up and left.
Xi Zhen is unconditionally obedient, completely obedient to Wang Can, and the treatment is the same.
Wang Can also stood up and sent Xi Zhen out of the cottage.
When Wang Can and Xi Zhen walked out of the grass house together, Xi Zhen was very shocked in his heart, because he walked with Wang Can, and when he faced Wang Can, he had a feeling of depression, as if there was a mountain in front of him, which seemed majestic and tall, incomparable.
At first, Xi Zhen sat below, and Wang Can was also sitting, he didn't feel like this.
But when he walked with Wang Can, he immediately had a feeling of depression.
Wang Can was only wearing a linen robe, but he was strong and burly, and his body was tall, compared with Xi Zhen, Wang Can was obviously even better.
After Xi Zhen left, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wang Can put too much pressure on him!
At this time, Xi Zhen felt that it was very wise to take refuge in the King of Shu, and a person who secretly operated Xiangyang affairs had such ability and might, which made him feel that Wang Can was even more unfathomable.
As everyone knows, the person in front of him is Wang Can.
After Shi Ah sent Xi Zhen away, he returned.
Immediately, Wang Can began to attack the rest of the family. In the next period of time, Wang Can took Xiangjia for his own use, and successfully persuaded Xiangjia to become a chess piece in Wang Can's hands.
It's just that the Yang family ignored the messenger, and the news was delivered, but the people of the Yang family didn't come forward at all and didn't pay attention to Wang Can. Rao is like this, Wang Can also got the snickering of the Xi family, the Ma family and the Xiang family, with these three, and then Huang Chengyan is neutral, as for Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, this can also be shaken.
Therefore, the iron-clad Jingzhou clan began to fall to Wang Can.
There are not many people who really finally Liu Biao, it can be said that there are very few.
As soon as the Shu army arrives, Xiangyang City will become a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger and will be easily defeated. After the matter was almost dealt with, Wang Can thought of Zhuge Liang and had the idea of visiting Zhuge Liang.
Wang Can called Shi A and asked about Zhuge Liang.
During this time, he was busy dealing with the situation of the Jingxiang clan, and he neglected to collect intelligence on Zhuge Liang.
