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

Chapter 704 The golden cicada escapes from its shell

Fan Yang came back and reported that the matter had been settled.

"Grand Governor, my subordinates have seen it. After learning that Lu Songli wanted to support the children of poor families, some of the heads of the aristocratic families and the young heads of the family backed down, and some of them remained unmoved."

"It doesn't matter."

Xie Zhan knew very well that it was impossible for everyone to be persuaded by him, especially those who had already sorted out the pros and cons, but he only needed to keep those swaying families.

Moreover, he had already anticipated this situation.

The family that chooses to stand together with Dali is gambling, and the family that chooses to advance and retreat together with Hepingzhou is not gambling.

Anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Pingzhou and Dali are evenly matched.

He admitted that it only took a few years for Pingzhou to become equal to Dali, which was very powerful.

But Dali and Pingzhou each have their own advantages.

Pingzhou is a new force, relying on powerful weapons and equipment and troops, full of vigor.

Dali is an old dynasty, what has it not experienced? Moreover, Dali's territory is vaster than that of Pingzhou, and its people are more numerous than those of Pingzhou. It has a deeper foundation. Most of the people who are shining brightly in Pingzhou today were trained by Dali.

Dali has the strength to destroy Pingzhou, but he needs time to regroup and find more talents.

Today, the decision about the family’s choice has been made.

He finally won the support of some aristocratic families in Dali. Otherwise, these aristocratic families would swarm to choose Pingzhou, which would be a great disadvantage to Dali.

Sure enough, not long after, the alliance of aristocratic families headed by the Langya Wang family expressed their loyalty to the emperor.

This alliance includes the Langya Wang family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Zhaojun Li family. The Wang family of Langya even attracted the Zheng family of Xingyang.

After Pei Zheng came out of Sang Mansion, he took his friend Liu Shaojun and ran away overnight.

The affairs of the aristocratic family are settled, and Xie Zhan's only worry now is whether the affairs of the Southland are going smoothly.

Lu Songli is too smart, and he doesn't know when he will make up for the lack of guards in the South.

He had to prepare for the worst.

Within two days, news came that the war in the Southland was indeed not going well, and the Li clan seemed to have been prepared for it.

Xie Zhan exhaled slowly, he could only use the last method.

The attack against the slang tribe in the South was based on unexpected calculations. Now, it's clear that this plan isn't working. Although the war is still pending, it is no longer important.

Thinking like this, Xie Zhan got up and went to his mother's yard.

Mrs. Xie was surprised that her son came so late.

Mrs. Xie felt heartbroken when she saw her son's temples stained with frost and the fatigue between his brows and eyes. She also knew that her son was in a difficult situation recently.

Xie Zhan dismissed all the servants, and his first words were, "Mother, I want to transfer my second brother Xie Wei back."

Mrs. Xie was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Mom, I have a hunch that I may not be able to escape this time. Later, I will try my best to ask the emperor not to punish the family. By then, with him around, the family will be more stable. I forgive the child for not being able to die."

"How could this be so?" Hearing this, Mrs. Xie was in a state of confusion, "Zhan'er, is there nothing we can do? Isn't the Emperor trying to protect you?"

"It's useless." Xie Zhan shook his head and said softly, "My life is designated by Pingzhou and must be given."

Thinking of Lu Songli, Mrs. Xie said bitterly, "Why is she so cruel!"

Xie Zhan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Pingzhou, Changli

Lu Songli estimated that Qin Sheng and the Jintai Army set off from Leling County. According to the route time, they had already arrived in the south.

At this time, Xue Xu also sent back news.

Lu Songli's guess was correct. Dali had indeed taken action against the Li clan in the south.

After Lu Songli read Nan Di's letter, he put it aside.

She had the same idea as Xie Zhan. She was not afraid of a tug-of-war. As long as the Li clan was not raided and then killed in one fell swoop to threaten Pingzhou, Dali would fight if they wanted.

At this time, her father came in with some pieces of paper.

As soon as he came in, he said, "No, is there something wrong with Song Mo's brain?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Songli asked.

"Well, look, according to the news from Dali, Song Mo will protect Xie Zhan life and death."

Lu Songli took the paper handed over by her father and read it. After reading it, she said nothing.

She didn't expect Song Mo to protect Xie Zhan like this.

Unbeknownst to Lu Songli, Xie Zhan took a step and bound his fate to Dali, and everything he predicted happened.

Therefore, Song Mo believed it. He is not protecting Xie Zhan, but protecting Dali's chance of survival.

"This Xie Zhan is really tough." Lu Desheng sighed sourly.

Isn’t it hard to survive? Lu Songli continued to scroll down, and the next page contained another news. The news was handed over by Mrs. Pei, and the content was about everything that happened when the major families gathered in Sang Mansion for the second time.

When Lu Songli saw that Xie Zhan actually used the information he got from her to persuade the family, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

It's amazing. She deliberately said the method to deal with the aristocratic family casually, just to dig a hole for Xie Zhan.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhan held such a king bomb. He had been jointly petitioned and forced by the aristocratic families before, but he could resist using it.

It can only be said that he saved his own life. Not only that, he also thrust the boomerang back at her with his backhand.

Lu Songli could also understand the reason why Xie Zhan did this and the reason why they went to war across the board in Pingzhou.

The deterioration of the external environment will inevitably lead to a grouping within Dali, but there is no way. The war in Pingzhou is the general trend, and the development of Pingzhou requires more land.

Lu Desheng leaned over and asked, "How can he resist using such a good idea?"

"Yes."

Lu Desheng said unhappily, "Not only is this bad piece useless, it is also used to drive a wedge between Pingzhou and the aristocratic family, destroy your image, and force the aristocratic family to stay away from Pingzhou and move closer to Dali again."

Lu Songli smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, Xie Zhan can help us select some aristocratic families that we can get along with."

Even if there was no one, she didn't care. As the saying goes, a small temple is most afraid of demons and strong winds, and a shallow temple hates bastards the most. These big aristocratic families are like big bastards, and their small water pool in Pingzhou cannot accommodate so many big bastards.

Lu Desheng curled his lips, "You can comfort your father and me."

Lu Songli laughed, "Everything has its pros and cons. If it doesn't work from this angle, let's look at it from another angle." Don't make yourself unhappy.

"Is Xie Zhan unable to die again?" Lu Desheng said sadly.

The fight between his daughter and Xie Zhan was full of fiction and reality, comings and goings, and unpredictable changes. He was too lazy to think deeply about it.

Lu Songli knew that her father had been guarding the government's confidential information recently, so she hoped to receive news of Xie Zhan's death as soon as possible.

"Not always."

Even though Song Mo wanted to protect Xie Zhan. Facing the turbulent public opinion, Song Mo had to give an explanation to the world.

Tang Xuanzong doted on Yang Yuhuan so much that he didn't forget to take her with him when he fled. But facing the angry Sixth Army of the Tang Dynasty, he had to compromise. When asked to execute Yang Yuhuan, didn't he also have to let her hang herself in tears?

Lu Songli thought about what other omissions there were.

Everything Xie Zhan is doing now is to save himself.

Now that he is unable to hold the Li clan in his hands, Dali lacks a condition for negotiation, and Xie Zhan lacks a way to save his life.

There is no way out.

But he has Song Mo's protection...

There is no way to survive on the surface, so what about secretly?

Suddenly, Lu Songli had an idea and thought of a possibility!

"Dad, did Xie Zhan have a twin brother in the original army that conquered the South?"

"It seems so?"

"Dad, the golden cicada has escaped from its shell. Xie Zhan wants the golden cicada to escape from its shell!"

"what?!"

"Xie Zhan can't escape from this deadlock, even if Song Mo protects him. But Song Mo is still restricted!" Someone must take the blame for the blame thrown by Pingzhou.

Yes, it is indeed so! Lu Desheng nodded, "Daughter, let's contact that big bastard as soon as possible. I think he has the right to know what he will face next."
