Chapter 311: Responding to Change with Change
After Li Feng secretly left, Xia Hongsheng stayed in the study and did not go out. After hearing the words left by the assassin just now, Xia Hongsheng thought about it for a while, and decided to return home by himself, and then asked Li Feng to secretly inform the emperor of the matter, making it appear that he did not go to the palace, but he didn't know if he could deceive Youji. This time, Xia Hongsheng really couldn't see through what Youji was going to do. This made Xia Hongsheng lose some confidence and felt a little uneasy.
This sense of crisis also reminded Xia Hongsheng that this time he must protect himself and Xu Huihui and his sister-in-law, because after the last incident in Qizhou, I am afraid that the chaotic party has now completely died of winning over himself. In this way, this time it is inevitable that it will be a dead hand.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. The psychology of this sentence is very accurate. It's stolen, that's it anyway, it's all right, and the horror or depression left behind can be slowly digested with time to forget it. Afraid of thieves, that is, I have an intuition in my heart that something is going to happen, but I don't know what it is? Like when to come? What's on your mind...... These questions in the heart will make people very sad and overwhelmed! This invisible damage is far greater than being stolen. Xia Hongsheng is in such a state of mind now, he really can't think of what Youji is going to do, so he feels uneasy in his heart and can't be calm. There is a saying that waiting for death is more terrible than death itself, and this principle Xia Hongsheng taught Duan Zan and asked him to use it when dealing with those who are extremely hard-mouthed. I never thought that Xia Hongsheng is now facing the same psychological pressure.
Xu Hui and her sister-in-law were talking in the back hall, but Xia Hongsheng was not in the mood to pass at this time. It's not that I don't want to see them, it's just that I don't want to let my bad feelings infect them. Let them worry.
I waited in the study for about an hour. Li Feng's voice suddenly sounded outside the study: "Xiahou." The old slave is back. ”
Xia Hongsheng immediately got up and went over to open them, invited Li Feng in, and then asked, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”
"Your Majesty said that he has a sense of proportion in his heart, and let Xiahou do everything as usual." Li Feng saluted after coming in, and then replied to Xia Hongsheng: "Your Majesty also said that the thief leader is unwilling and targets Xiahou everywhere, the more so. The more Xiahou is not affected by it, everything is as usual, when those chaotic parties are not there, those chaotic parties will naturally fall into powerless. If Xiahou was confused because of his targeting, he would lose a move at the beginning. His Majesty asked the old slave to pass a message to Xiahou, saying that Xiahou should respond to all changes with the same at this time, and treat him with his own ease. ”
Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, thought about Li Shimin's words, and gradually understood in his heart. When You Ji entered Chang'an this time, she first sneaked into Xia Hongsheng's home. provoked Xia Hongsheng and let Xia Hongsheng know that he had infiltrated Chang'an. He then ordered the assassin to pretend to be a palace guard to trick Xia Hongsheng out of the palace. But not for assassination, but for preaching. Everything she did was forcing Xia Hongsheng to play with her. And the bet in this game of chess is naturally Li Shimin. And now Li Shimin has been prepared, and Youji has repeatedly pressed Xia Hongsheng to sit down in this chess game. Xia Hongsheng stood still, prepared for it, but did not sit down in front of the chessboard. If you don't sit down, this game of chess will not be able to start, and after a long time, the side waiting for Xia Hong to enter the game must be anxious, and the anxious must have a big move, and if there is a big move, it will inevitably show its feet.
understood what Li Shimin meant, Xia Hongsheng should know what to do, so he turned around and bowed to Li Feng: "So, I understand what Your Majesty means." It's just that as usual, there are still bad people staring in secret, and the only way to do it is to rely on the old man! ”
"The old slave is a eunuch, how dare he be treated so politely by Xiahou! The old slave must protect Xiahou's net worth. Li Bong dodged away and said.
"Thank you, old man." Xia Hongsheng did not treat Li Feng as a lowly eunuch, but as an ordinary person, and did not look down on him because he was a eunuch. Xia Hongsheng, who came from later generations, naturally would not superficially think that this person was despicable and should not be respected because of his physical disability, and only misconduct was the reason for it. So even if Li Feng was a eunuch, Xia Hongsheng didn't look down on them much, because he knew that they were all inhumane tragedies in this feudal era. But as far as Li Feng is concerned, Xia Hongsheng's attitude has touched him a lot. And because of Xia Hongsheng's attitude, the people in the Xia Mansion naturally had a very friendly attitude towards him, although it was only a short time, but Li Feng already felt that this house was very good.
There is a difference between respect from the heart and respect from yin and yang, and people with a discerning eye can feel it.
"Xiahou rest assured." Li Bong smiled and said.
Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "It's just that I'm worried about other people." If I keep moving, the thief leader will force me into the game, and I can't guarantee that he won't do anything drastic. Now I am most worried about my sister-in-law and Xu Hui, afraid that this gang of rebellious thieves will be unfavorable to the two of them, so as to force me to comply. Sister-in-law is better here, after all, she is at home, protected by the guards sent by His Majesty, and I also transferred a team of Datang Blades, ordinary assassins, it is not a problem. The main thing is Xu Hui, without His Majesty's permission, I can't send the Tang Blade to Uncle Xu's mansion, and I don't have His Majesty's guards to protect me. Those who are ruthless at the moment and do everything they can, only Brother Yi is alone, I don't feel at ease, maybe, Brother Yi will be affected. ”
Li Feng smiled and asked, "Master Hou is so interested in this woman, I think this woman is the future lady of the fate, right?" ”
The marquis's wife will be canonized, and it is Li Feng who said so.
Xia Hongsheng was noncommittal, but asked, "I don't know if the old man has any good way?" ”
"The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, in fact, there is no good way, only to add more manpower to protect them." Li Feng said to Xia Hongsheng: "Since the Hou Ye is a military marquis, it is not a problem to transfer a few people from the military duty. Now that there are palace guards in the palace, those personal soldiers of the Hou Ye can be freed up and sent to protect her. ”
"That's all there is to it." Xia Hongsheng sighed: "I'll go over and make arrangements." ”
Xia Hongsheng left the study, Li Feng followed as usual, and when Xia Hongsheng was at home, he didn't need to hide.
When I arrived in the back hall, my sister-in-law was talking to Xu Hui, and it was a very harmonious picture. Xia Hongsheng looked inside, and did not walk in, but sent someone to call Qi Yong over.
Soon, Qi Yong was called, saluted Xia Hongsheng, and asked, "Childe, what do you have to command?" ”
"Go and gather the soldiers at home, clean up, I have something to order." Xia Hongsheng said to Qi Yong.
Qi Yong agreed, turned around and hurriedly ran away to call people to gather.
Soon, the twenty or so pro-soldiers gathered in front of Xia Hongsheng, fully equipped, all of them were the same full body equipment as the Datang Blade.
Yi Qiulou came over with those pro-soldiers, thinking that he saw the movement of the pro-soldiers, so he thought that something was going on, and he came with him, but it was just right.
"I have something to ask you for." Xia Hongsheng said to those pro-soldiers: "Recently, there have been chaotic parties targeting me, and everyone knows this. I'm worried that those chaotic parties will be unfavorable to Xu Hui and use her to blackmail me. So I want you to go to Xu Mansion with Xu Hui and escort Xu Hui. ”
"Yes!" Naturally, the group of pro-soldiers would never say anything to Xia Hongsheng's order, and immediately left and shouted in unison.
Xia Hongsheng nodded, then walked up to Yi Qiulou and said, "Brother Yi, I will leave these people to you, and you will dispatch them." During this time, Xu Hui's safety depends on you. Please also ask Brother Yi to look at my face, help them improve in the Xu family, give them random advice, and better cooperate with Brother Yi. ”
"Don't worry." Yi Qiulou nodded.
Xia Hongsheng led those pro-soldiers to the backyard and let them stay in the courtyard, while he walked in.
"Hongsheng, what's wrong?" The two people in the back hall had already seen Xia Hongsheng leading his soldiers in, so his sister-in-law got up and asked.
"It's okay, sister-in-law." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit back, and he also sat down next to him: "Little girl, when you go back today, in addition to Brother Yi, these twenty or so personal soldiers will also follow you back and let them protect you." ”
"Me?" Xu Hui looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise, and then shook his head again and again: "No, Brother Xia, you are in danger now, let's leave them to protect you!" Yi Daxia's kung fu is so good, it is enough to have Yi Daxia's protection! ”
"I have the close protection of the experts sent by His Majesty, and there will be no problem. On the sister-in-law's side, there are also guards and special forces in the palace to protect her, as long as you don't go out, there is no problem. Only on your side, those chaotic dogs will do everything to jump off the wall in a hurry, and I am worried that Brother Yi will be alone and helpless. ”
"But ......" Xu Hui also wanted Xia Hongsheng to leave those personal soldiers to protect himself, but was interrupted by Xia Hongsheng.
"Little girl, I didn't ask for your opinion, I just told you." Xia Hongsheng smiled: "It's so decided, don't let me worry about you, I can pack up my mind and deal with the rebellious party." ”
The sister-in-law looked at Xia Hongsheng and then at Xu Hui, and immediately helped beside her: "Yes, Hui'er, you see that there are so many people here who are protecting now, and there will be nothing wrong." It's you, and there is only one Yi Zhuang by your side to protect you. No matter how powerful this Yi Zhuang is, he is invincible with two fists and four hands! If you are not safe, how can Hongsheng deal with those bad people with peace of mind? Take it with you! ”
After arranging all the things to guard, Xia Hongsheng came out and walked to the street in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, scanning left and right, and couldn't see which of the pedestrians were spies and which were chaotic.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Hongsheng slowly swept around in front of the door.
Come on! (To be continued.) )
