Wenyang Mansion is lively, but Chengdu Mansion at this time is a depressed scene.

Since Wei Cundong's defeat, the hearts of the people in the entire Chengdu Prefecture have floated.

The big families are on guard, and the merchants are gathering funds to prepare to flee, even if it is the homes of ordinary people, ready to abandon their homes and flee.

War has always been cruel, even if Wang Hongyi is famous in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and it is a matter of family safety, so everyone can't help but be cautious.

Ordinary people know that in the near future, Chengdu Mansion will usher in a fierce war.

In the Marshal's Mansion, a sick man was sighing and leaning on a pillow, looking sideways at the scenery outside the window.

Beside him, several handmaidens with good posture carefully held banana fans to fan the wind slowly, or beat his legs lightly, to dispel the heat and relieve his fatigue.

It's just that this person's physical condition is obviously not very good, and the maid is serving him so carefully, which still makes him pale and sweaty.

This is a kind of sick and weak white, if it is usual, it will never appear on the body, this person gives people a momentum, has always been strong and cold.

When Wei Cundong is mentioned in Shudi, people who know him will generally flash in their minds, such as "superior", "ruthless", "tiger lion" and other descriptions.

At this time, Wei Cundong, who was weak and frail, seemed to verify the old saying - heroes are old.

In the past, he was a famous general, but now he still has a sense of sharpness, but he has added a bit of depression.

He had just suffered a defeat, which had hit him hard, and he was injured and sick, and he couldn't even stand up, so he could only barely be carried to the shade of a tree every afternoon, and the wind blew slightly to cool off the heat.

It's the beginning of July, the weather is hot, Chengdu is a hot and humid place, this season is more and more unbearable, if it is usual, you can also put a few pots of ice to cool down.

But the current physical condition is obviously not feasible, only the wind of nature, coupled with the gentle fan in the hands of the maid, can make him a little more comfortable.

Wei Cundong's eyes were half-squinted, and his breath was a little unstable, this feeling has been heavier since he fell this time.

In a trance, he had a feeling that maybe he really couldn't survive this time.

Will it die?

Wei Cundong sighed in his heart.

Although he refused to admit it, his body was weaker for a while, but he kept reminding him of this fact.

The faint body fragrance of the young maid beside him, with the breeze penetrating into his nose, his heart was really like an old man, and there was no slightest ripple.

"Time, luck, and fate are ......," he repeated again.

He had read this sentence many times in books, and he had mocked the enemy who had been defeated at his hands, but now it was time to give it to himself.

"Go and call the eldest prince to come over......" He suddenly had something to say, and wanted to say something to his eldest son, so he opened his mouth and said it like this.

"What do you say, Lord?" he said in a small voice, and the maid next to him did not hear clearly for a moment, so she bent down slightly and asked him respectfully.

"Go, call...... The eldest prince is here. Wei Cundong took a breath and spoke again. This time it was louder, and several people around heard it.

"No, the slave and maid will go and summon the eldest prince to come. The maid answered softly and walked out of the courtyard.

Several maids, after hearing Wei Cundong's orders, showed a worried look on their faces.

The situation on the Lord seems to be getting worse and worse, could it be that this Chengdu Mansion is really going to change the sky?

Several maids glanced at each other, and one of them quietly took a few steps back, and without Wei Cundong noticing, turned to leave, and walked out through the side door.

"What did you say, my father called my eldest brother to see him?" In the courtyard, Wei Cundong's second son, Wei Jin, frowned, and walked back and forth in the room with a little stuffiness in his heart.

I have to say that Wei Jin is handsome and energetic, and the maid who walked away from Wei Cundong was standing beside him at this time, looking at him cautiously and with a hint of admiration, under this gaze, Wei Jin quickly stabilized his mind, turned around, and said to the maid: "Qiulan, you go back first, if you let your father know that you are here, it will definitely bring you trouble." I already know how faithful you are to me, and when you go back, you will say to them, "If I gain power, I will not do you any wrong." ”

"Qiu Lan will bring the words of the second young master to a few sisters...... Then Qiulan will go back, and the second young master should prepare early. After Qiulan's maid finished speaking, she went out and left.

"Come out. At this time, Wei Jinfang said to the inner room.

"Haha, I really can't imagine that the second master, you are even inspired by the people around the handsome. A strategist stepped out of the inner room at this time, with a handsome face with a hint of ridicule.

A little disdain suddenly appeared on Wei Jin's handsome face: "It's just a few maids, it's not worth mentioning." ”

"Second master, judging from the current physical condition of the handsome, you should have made some preparations earlier. Don't regret it when the time comes......" The strategist thought about the news he had heard before, and said cautiously.

Wei Jin just had a cold face, thinking about the news he had heard before, turned around, and said to this strategist who had taken refuge this year, but had already made him attach great importance to it: "Let me think about this matter carefully." By the way, Mr. Fang, last time you mentioned one of your monks, saying that he can pinch and calculate, and has excellent skills, if it is feasible, you can take me to visit him in the next few days, how about it?"

Seeing this, knowing that Wei Jin was still hesitant in his heart, the strategist sneered in his heart, but nodded and said, "Since the second master has this order, I will obey it." ”

While they were talking, Wei Cundong's courtyard, the eldest prince Wei Xian had been called in front of him.

"Go down first. Wheezing, Wei Cundong waved his hand and ordered the maid beside him to retreat.

A few people lightly said "no" and retreated.

"Xian'er, my father called you over this time because I have something to tell you. At Wei Cundong's signal, the eldest son Wei Xian moved his hand and helped his body up, Wei Cundong reluctantly sat up, and said in a deep voice: "The body of the father is already worse than the other, and the burden of the Chengdu Mansion will fall on you, you don't have to shirk." ”

Stopping what the eldest son wanted to say, Wei Cundong continued: "For my father to know, you go up now, there are many difficulties, you can change to someone else, I am afraid that you will not be able to have a surname, your two uncles are both elders under your father, with them to assist you, it only takes a few years to make Chengdu Mansion recover, as for the rest, when the time comes, if you can achieve something, it is not too late to avenge your father." ”

"Father, your body will definitely get better, how can this Chengdu Mansion leave you?" Wei Xian saw that his father's breath was weak, because he had never seen such a weak father, he panicked for a while, and couldn't help but say comfortingly.

"For the father's body, for the father to know ......" Wei Cundong is such a person, how can he not feel that the body is not as good as the other? For the eldest son's words, he just laughed.

"Okay, in the hands of the father, the succession decree has been written, right here, you can put it away. Taking out something from his arms and handing it to his eldest son, Wei Cundong carefully advised: "It is a matter of the survival of the Wei family, and you must not let your surname be reckless." Having said that, there is nothing more to say, go down, for the father is a little tired, and he has to rest. ”

"Father, please rest assured, my son will work hard to preserve the Wei family's bloodline and preserve the Wei family's foundation. After taking the cloth, Wei Xian's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed to his father before retreating.

After the eldest son retreated, Wei Cundong closed his eyes, only to feel that his heart was relieved and his eyelids were heavy.

"Tired...... I'm really tired. At this time, Wei Cundong's mind quickly flashed through what he had experienced in this life.

One by one, they flashed quickly, and finally stopped at the Battle of Hongze.

On the battlefield, the young general was majestic, looking at himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth, although he was far away, as if there were only two of them on the battlefield.

There is a condescending look down on this already majestic young face.

Is Wang Hongyi looking down on himself?

He has been running the Chengdu Army for decades, but he can't fight the opponent for a few years?

If you are unwilling, you are really unwilling...... Hold your palms slightly, let go, clench again, and loosen again until you fall...... On the third day of the seventh month, Chengdu Mansion, Wei Cundong, died.

"Wei Cundong is dead? The third son of the Wei family will hold a succession ceremony in the future?"

"What is Fang Xuan doing? He has been by Wei Jin's side for half a year, and he still watched Wei Cundong die and let his eldest son succeed him?"

"Senior brother, it's no wonder that Fang Xuan is this matter, although Wei Cundong's second son is stubborn, but he is not very easy to talk about, Fang Xuan has only been by his side for half a year, although he can speak, he can't control his words and deeds, this matter is our negligence. A Taoist priest obviously had a good relationship with Fang Xu, and at this time he did not forget to say a few fair words for Fang Xu.

When the Taoist priest heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any way to prevent his eldest son from succeeding to the throne?" Although this son has no authority, he has a reputation, and let him stabilize in Chengdu Mansion, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the prince's unification of Shu. ”

"You and I can't come forward directly, and we can't allow outsiders to do it ourselves. See if you can start with Wei Jin, he has been more capable than his brother since he was a child, but he is not favored by his brother, this time his brother was appointed as the heir, I am afraid that he is also dissatisfied in his heart, right? It is better to incite some tricks and feet on this point, so that his two sons will compete for the throne. ”

The Guan Lord nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will send a message to Fang Xu, let him operate in these few days, and he must not let this succession ceremony go smoothly." ”

"Lord, we are too deeply involved in this way, besides, Wei Xian has a reputation, and Wei Jin, I look at his face, but there are some blessings, it is better for us to secretly support Wei Jin, win over some soldiers in the city, and at the same time place our people inside, and when the prince's army arrives, we can coerce him to rebel. The Taoist priest thought for a moment and said.

"Well, what you said is not wrong, if you can destroy the succession, you will destroy it, if you can't, you will try to do it later. The viewer said with a sneer.
