Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 696 Life-Saving Strategies

Chang'an, the Governor's Mansion

"The master of the house is in trouble." Xie Nan hurried over with the frontline information, his hands were shaking and his face was very frightened.

Xie Zhan took it and took a look. He guessed correctly. As expected, Pingzhou pinned the reason for raising troops on his head.

"Lu Songli, you are cruel enough."

Xie Zhan has realized that he has been used.

He knew very well that Lu Songli's accidental premature birth may not have hurt her body. This was just an excuse for Pingzhou to attack Dali.

But, so what if he guessed it?

The big pot that Pingzhou prepared for him was really like a mountain weighing down on him.

He could fully imagine how many people wanted him to die to apologize in court tomorrow.

"Master of the family——" Xie Nan looked at him worriedly.

Xie Zhan said, "No need to worry too much."

He had predicted it before and bet on the situation correctly. Can he say that Pingzhou did not disappoint him?

When he entered the palace to see the emperor, the words and predictions he made tightly tied his fate to that of Dali.

Obviously, he made the right bet. The emperor should protect him.

However, there is another danger, and this danger comes from the aristocratic family.

It's not that he has no solution to the aristocratic family, but he is still hesitating whether to use the trump card in his hand.

If he uses it, the two sides will go to war directly, and it will be a life-or-death situation.

At this time, the clan brother came to report that his father Xie Yuan was seriously ill.

Xie Yuan is an elder of the Xie clan. When he heard the news, Xie Zhan put down what he was doing and went to visit. He happened to meet a famous old doctor from Chang'an diagnosing his pulse.

He stopped his clan brother's announcement and did not let him disturb the old doctor who was treating people.

"Ginseng can no longer be used. The patient is weak and old, and the deficiency cannot be replenished..."

Hearing this, Xie Zhan looked thoughtful in his eyes.

Dali's situation is so similar to that of his uncle.

At this time, Dali was like a terminally ill old man, suffering from both external evils and serious illnesses.

In the words of the old doctor, we should first resist and expel external evils, then strengthen the body and strengthen the righteousness, and finally slowly remove Shen Ke's old disease.

At this time, you cannot use strong medicine to remove Shen Ke's stubborn disease.

The patient's body couldn't bear it, and instead of being cured, the condition became more serious.

What's more, the strong medicine takes away the remaining vitality before it can take effect.

After the old doctor finished prescribing the medicine, the steward sent him out from the other direction.

Xie Yuan learned that Xie Zhan came to see him and quickly asked someone to invite him in.

He knew that he was old, and the Xie family had suffered a lot when they were exiled, so it was time for them to run out of fuel.

"Azhan, it is not a pity for me to die, but the situation is dangerous now. I am worried about you and our Xie family."

Xie Yuan knew very well that the current situation of his nephew, who had taken the lead, was like walking on thin ice in an abyss.

Xie Zhan comforted him, "This is only temporary." The situation was not as bad as he imagined.

Xie Yuan looked at Xie Zhan and thought of the one in Pingzhou. He moved his mouth. If it had been...

In the end he just sighed deeply and said nothing.

After Xie Zhan told his clan brother to take good care of him, he left.

At this time, Fan Yang, Jiang Boya and others also received the news and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

"Grand Governor, the situation is very critical. Pingzhou is forcing the emperor to give them an explanation."

What they worried about was that if the anger of Pingzhou could be quelled with the life of the governor, would the emperor be tempted?

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much." Xie Zhan waved his hand. His previous arrangements were not without effect.

Fan Yang reminded him, "Grand Governor, if the emperor doesn't need to worry, what about the aristocratic family?"

Xie Zhan nodded, confirming his reminder.

He knew very well the urinary nature of the aristocratic family, so he bet in multiple ways.

In order to please Lu Songli, he was not surprised at all that those aristocratic families took action against him.

But they don't understand Lu Songli, and Lu Songli may not be willing to accept them.

Even if Lu Songli is willing to follow her, what about all the forces? Will the family be willing to take refuge in the past and then take away a lot of benefits?

In addition, the struggle between him and the aristocratic family was an internal disagreement.

When there is a powerful enemy outside Dali, they may not be able to turn their hostility into friendship.

Moreover, the piece of paper in his hand should come in handy.

He holds in his hand such a sharp sword that stabs the family.

What if he told the family that Lu Songli threw the sword?

No, we are not in a hurry to show our trump cards now. Let the family go to Pingzhou to touch the south wall first, and then give them a blow in the head later.

That way, he was safe.

Lu Songli must not have expected that he would use this card in turn, right?

Xie Zhan chose something he could say to appease his subordinates, "Lu Songli will not accept the aristocratic family's surrender."

"Grand Governor, what if Lu Songli accepts the secret support of the noble family? Wouldn't that be dangerous for you?"

"No." Xie Zhan thought he had figured out Lu Songli's attitude towards the aristocratic family.

Jiang Boya still felt that it was too dangerous for the Governor to tie his life and death to Lu Songli's thoughts.

That's not what he said. Xie Zhan did this not because his life and death depended on Lu Songli's thoughts, but because the family's pursuit was in conflict with Lu Songli's governing philosophy, and he was sure of it.

Jiang Boya said doubtfully, "Let's wait and see."

Pingzhou, Changli

During Lu Songli's confinement period, Mrs. Jiang visited her from time to time.

That day, Lu Songli saw something wrong with her face and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Lu Songli didn't ask any further questions.

At this time, Ms. Jiang noticed that her hair was a little moist, "Have you washed your hair or taken a shower?"

Lu Songli waved her hand, "No, I just asked Hongluo to wipe it with herbal water."

"You." Mrs. Jiang couldn't do anything to her, "If you bear with it any longer, you will be pregnant in two days."

Lu Songli nodded, she was also looking forward to the confinement period.

Jiang turned to talk about her father, "Your father was so angry when he learned that Zhang Yong went to Yangping and questioned Pingzhou's unjust soldiers who relied on the power of explosives to harm the peace of the two armies." "

Lu Songli smiled, she could imagine that scene.

Jiang also laughed, "Your father wished he could put on his wings, fly to Yangping, and fight him for three hundred rounds."

Lu Songli thought for a while and said, "Mom, go back and tell dad that there is a chance."

"Your father just said, don't always follow him."

Lu Songli smiled. Her mother had misunderstood. It was not that she was following her father's ideas, but that she estimated that Dali would soon be unable to bear it and come to Pingzhou to negotiate.

She read the recent official documents. Pingzhou is now attacking across the board, opening up so many battlefields, and the logistics are also very difficult. Furthermore, the amount of explosives they have stored in recent years has been running low...

Lu Songli felt that it would be good for this battle to end before winter.

They have added so many new territories and cities, and they need to digest them.

After Jiang left, Lu Songli asked someone to find out if something had happened to her mother.

Then I learned that the reason why Pingzhou sent troops to Li was spread, and many people regretted that she gave birth to a daughter instead of a son...

Lu Songli laughed it off.

She could probably guess what the people were thinking. If she gave birth to a son, most people would think that there was someone to succeed Pingzhou. But originally, she gave birth to the next generation to consolidate the power of Pingzhou.

Qin Xuan's existence represents the continuation of her bloodline with Qin Sheng. The stability of Qin Lu Group is secondary to its excellence.

Many people may think that having another son is the only way to have a successor.

Lu Songli thought it was quite ridiculous.

The world is uncertain, and although the situation in Pingzhou is not precarious, it is a bit putting the cart before the horse when considering the inheritance of the foundation at this time.

Now they have only occupied four states in Pingzhou, and their cause has only reached one-third.

She definitely wants to consolidate her position of power and put herself first in everything. Although she can consider the next generation of successors, it is not that urgent.
