Chapter 249: Casting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish

Xia Hongsheng ran to the study and sat for a long time, until it was dark, and the people outside had come to shout several times, and then he came out of the study. I was distraught, I didn't even have any emotions, and I was not interested in putting on chopsticks when it was supposed to be a delicious meal in the evening. After a few sips of porridge, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the study again.

When my sister-in-law pushed open the door of the study and walked in, I saw Xia Hongsheng sitting in front of the desk in a daze, and when she heard the door, she raised her head and saw that it was her sister-in-law who had entered, so she quickly took the book and covered it on the table in front of her.

"What are you hiding?" The sister-in-law smiled, walked over and picked up the book from the desk as soon as she raised her hand, and saw a few pieces of paper pressed underneath. ”

Xia Hongsheng snatched the paper back: "I'm not in a hurry, I think my sister-in-law is too anxious!" It's only at such an age, and it's too early to talk about marriage! Sister-in-law, can you slow down again? ”

"No way!" Sister-in-law was categorical and vetoed Xia Hongsheng's proposal: "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law are all up to you in other things, and they can rely on you, but this matter is absolutely not good." It's about the inheritance of my Xia family's incense, and now that the Xia family is the only one male in the family, you should spread out as soon as possible and revitalize the Xia family! You don't care about this matter, your sister-in-law will arrange it for you. ”

This is a different living environment, and my sister-in-law is now in contact with this lady and that decree all day long, and I have also learned a trace of majesty. Staring at the moment, I really have the demeanor of an old lady.

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng didn't speak. The sister-in-law said to Xia Hongsheng again: "Hongsheng." It's not your sister-in-law forcing you. Before Grandpa and your brother set out together. Grandpa asked someone to ask for a word for you in advance, just because he felt that if he didn't come back, you would be able to start a family early. When my mother-in-law gave birth to you, my grandfather and your brother had already died in battle, and my mother-in-law was holding her breath because you were not born yet. But my sister-in-law knows. Mother-in-law has knowledge, and I hope to see you marry and have children as soon as possible. Our family is not as big as those in the world, there are only two of us in total, and you are the only one. Fortunately, God opened his eyes, the ancestors blessed, Hongsheng can be so smart, now you are only fourteen years old, and you are already a marquis. That's something we didn't even dare to dream of before! That's why you should get married as soon as possible, give birth to an heir, and comfort the heavenly spirits of the ancestors of the Xia family. ”

"Sister-in-law. You know all these Hongsheng, but ......" Xia Hongsheng shook his head. is still very reluctant to talk about marriage so early. Let's not talk about myself first, let's just say Xu Hui, in the next life, he has just entered junior high school, right? The body hasn't grown up yet, and getting married too early is hurting her! It's killing her! Xia Hongsheng categorically couldn't accept it.

Xia Lin looked at him, sighed again, and said, "Hongsheng, sister-in-law has heard some rumors, and sister-in-law also knows that there is also a relationship between Her Royal Highness the princess who often comes to our house and you...... You have grown up, and you have earned this status and glory with your own ability, and your sister-in-law should not talk about anything in front of you, you naturally understand. But my sister-in-law still wants to tell you what my sister-in-law thinks. We're just ordinary people. The daughter-in-law in this ordinary family is eager to live together. This life, tea, rice, oil and salt, the husband and wife should be you supporting me, I holding you, the two of them are safe and stable, they are responsible, the situation of the past few decades. These two girls and sisters-in-law have seen it, Hui'er, she has a good temperament, she is alive, she is smart, and she will be happy and happy when she lives with such a woman. Although Her Royal Highness the princess is extremely beautiful, her temperament is not as good as Hui'er. Although it is a good heart, it is not wrong to put on a princess's shelf, gentle and polite, and polite to everyone, but the princess doesn't like to talk, it is not good to hold everything in her heart, and she will inevitably sulk in the future. Besides, you took Xu Hui, and you still have the final say in this family. But if you become a princess and you become a colt, our family will have to listen to the princess. Hongsheng, you are a smart person, your sister-in-law asked you, are you willing to whisper in front of your wife all day long, or live like a courtier? That's a lifelong pillow person! ”

Xia Hongsheng was silent and did not speak, but he knew in his heart that everything his sister-in-law said was true. The sister-in-law didn't speak, just waited quietly for Xia Hongsheng to think about it by herself.

After a long time, Xia Hongsheng sighed and said: "I understand what my sister-in-law said, but I really have to make a choice, and I can't be ruthless." Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do to make Princess Changle not hurt so much? She is so kind, and she likes to hold things in her heart, she will definitely not be able to think about it for a long time......"

"This ...... That's just as well. The woman was also a little embarrassed: "Her Royal Highness the princess has never put up a shelf in front of her sister-in-law, and she is polite to the people in the family, if it hurts people's minds because of this...... However, Hongsheng, there is no way to do it, don't delay, break it early, it's better than being more attentive and uncomfortable later. ”

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a small girl's voice outside, and said inside: "Childe, there is a person outside, saying that there is something important to report to Childe." We're surrounded by us, Childe, do you want to come out and take a look? ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and went over to open the door of the study, and saw that it was the porter outside the door, so he nodded, and the little guy led the way in front.

When he arrived outside the door of the house, he looked over from a distance, and saw a group of family soldiers gathered around a person, Xia Hongsheng saw it, and immediately recognized him, so he waved his hand and said, "Come in, your own people." ”

A group of pro-soldiers listened, so they made a way, and the man hurriedly ran to Xia Hongsheng's approach, and leaned into Xia Hongsheng's ear and said a few words.

At that moment, Xia Hongsheng's face changed, and he immediately turned around and shouted: "Someone, prepare the horse!" Qi Yong, take someone with me! ”

Qi Yong immediately responded, and those pro-soldiers quickly formed a queue, and the little guy with eyes next to him immediately went back and led the horse out.

Xia Hongsheng turned over and got on his horse, and the person who came to report ran forward, Xia Hongsheng hit the horse and followed closely behind, and those pro-soldiers followed Xia Hongsheng and galloped wildly.

Because Xia Hongsheng's house was not far from Dongshi, he soon arrived at the gate of Chang'an, and saw that Duan Zan had already called open the city gate, and was about to come in with a team of people, but was stopped by Xia Hongsheng in time.

"I heard a report from a spy that someone had smuggled weapons into Baihualou, so I immediately brought someone over." The two of them stopped their horses, and Duan Zan rode on his horse and said to Xia Hongsheng: "It seems that you are really not mistaken, this Baihualou is indeed a place where the chaotic party gathers!" ”

Since the last time Xia Hongsheng saw that familiar person in Baihualou, he took this spy to look for it several times, but he didn't find it again, so that he could leave two people to monitor Baihualou to see if there were any suspicious characters coming and going. For many days, nothing was found, which made Xia Hongsheng feel that he was really a snake shadow, so he was ready to evacuate, but he never thought that the spy just now went to report, and found that someone had transported a few truckloads of knife soldiers into the Baihua Building at night! The spy went to inform Duan Zhan, and Duan Zhan was about to lead his troops over to encircle and suppress, and Xia Hongsheng heard that Duan Zan was going to rush to encircle and suppress immediately, so he immediately hurried over to stop him.

Hiding weapons privately, and saying it in a serious way is a big crime of trying to rebel, so the spy notified Duan Zan and Xia Hongsheng so urgently.

"I'm going to take people to rush into the East Market, raid this Baihualou, and arrest all the people inside!" Duan Zan looked inside the East Market and was about to bring people in.

"Slow!" Xia Hongsheng stopped Duan Zan from coming: "Brother Duan, don't be impulsive." Think about it, the weapons have just been transported in this Baihualou, and there are a lot of people staying overnight, if you rush in, those chaotic ministers and thieves will take the guests who stay as hostages, what should you and I do? And if you lead your troops to rush into the East Market, such a big movement will startle the grass and snakes, and it will be difficult for us to find traces of the chaotic party for a long time after that. ”

Duan Zan frowned: "What about that?" ”

Xia Hongsheng pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, if we rush in now, it's just a stronghold to exterminate the chaotic party." Those rebellious parties can open up other strongholds. Brother Duan, don't you want to know where these weapons came from, how they avoided the city guards and entered Chang'an, and how they avoided the Wuhou who was patrolling the night? The enemy is in the dark, and it is not easy to find one of their strongholds, so we have to gain as much as possible through this stronghold. ”

"Oh? What does Jingshi have in mind? Duan Zan asked.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "In my opinion, let's go back to our homes here, go back to our respective homes, and don't go to Baihualou for the time being." ”

"Huh?" Duan Zan was stunned.

"First of all, send additional spies to closely control around Baihualou, once there is any change in Baihualou, the situation can be controlled at the first time. Secondly, the wagons that had carried the weapons were bound to come out, and they should send people to follow the wagons to see where they were, and then follow the vines and look for other clues. Again, send someone to infiltrate the Baihualou as an internal response, and try to break into the Baihualou as an undercover agent to probe more useful information. Xia Hongsheng said to Duan Zhan: "In this way, if you release a long line, you may be able to dig out a big fish, and the worst result is to wipe out Baihualou." ”

Duan Zan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, you are still thoughtful." Then do it! (To be continued......)
