Eternal Life: I'm Grinding Experience in the Patrol Division

In the end, it was County Cheng Ji Xuechang who stepped forward and said, "Sir, we must prepare for the worst as soon as possible."

"I know" Xiao Jingchuan held his forehead and sighed with a sad look on his face.

It has been a day since he learned of the incident, and he has just recovered from the shock of his son being imprisoned.

As a county guard and a leader of a force, with so many people staring at him, it was impossible for him to remain immersed in grief and lose his mind.

He needs to recover eventually. The more urgent it is, the more he must calmly make the right decision.

He knew very well that in the worst case scenario, he would have to give up his two sons if necessary.

Whenever there is a chance, he will try to rescue his son.

Naihe's political opponent who sent Xiao Hongyang to jail was one of the six princes standing behind him.

In other words, one of the princes gave instructions to suppress the Xiao family.

If the third prince behind the Xiao family does not support him, how can he fight with other princes?

"Everyone, tell me." Xiao Jamchuan glanced around and said.

"This matter is most likely the work of the second prince. Back then, we analyzed that the martial arts masters who assassinated Lord Li and the bandit army of the Three Dragons of Dongcang were the men he arranged!"

"We ruined his business in the first place, so now he has free hands to think of dealing with us!"

"The third prince promised at the beginning that he would protect us. Could it be that he went back on his word!"

"The prince must have kept his word, but this time he broke his promise, and his power is really too small!"

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have bet on him in the first place. I really made a mistake!"

"I have long said that the fourth prince should have been our first choice at the beginning. Facts have proved that the third prince is not worthy of seeking refuge at all!"

"Everyone, it's too early to say this now. Perhaps the third prince has something to hide. When the governor's handwritten letter arrives, there may be room for change."

"Let's leave everything else aside. For the current plan, we should consider how we should deal with the revenge of the second prince after the third prince's inaction!"

"."

A group of civil servants spoke to each other, and their words gradually became more intense. From time to time, they would also exchange words to express different positions and opinions.

There is even cynicism about colleagues who had different opinions in the past.

Xiao Jingchuan felt a headache when he heard it. Suddenly he thought of something and his eyes fell on Gu Wenhui standing in the outer circle.

At first, he insisted on intervening in this party dispute. Only Gu Wenhui repeatedly tried to persuade him, saying that the time had not come yet.

Xiao Jingchuan got tired of hearing this, so he simply distanced himself from Gu Wenhui and stopped listening to what he said.

Now that things have happened, and looking back on the past, he feels somewhat regretful in his heart.

Facts have proved that Gu Wenhui's concerns were right. He was too eager and ended up in this situation.

"Wen Hui, do you have anything to say?" Xiao Jingchuan suddenly spoke, causing the others to shut their mouths and turn to look at Gu Wenhui, who was standing in the outer circle.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Xiao Jingchuan has asked Gu Wenhui's opinion in recent years.

Gu Wenhui's expression remained as usual, he cupped his hands and said: "Master Sheriff, now that this has happened, I am more worried about the safety of you and the entire Xiao family than the eldest son who is already in prison.

If it is confirmed that the third prince has completely abandoned you, the other party will definitely take the next step of revenge, and the next step may be Donglai County! "

After everyone listened, they all knew that this was indeed the worst outcome.

"As I thought, the simplest and most direct way is to use the imperial power to first remove you from your post and escort you back to the imperial capital to await your fate. Then, the Xiao family will be confiscated and replaced with a new governor who is in their interests to take charge of Donglai County. This piece of land.”

What Gu Wenhui said made Xiao Jingchuan unable to sit still.

"If it really turns out like this, what should I do?" Jamel Xiao quickly asked.

Gu Wenhui frowned slightly, as if thinking, and then spoke after a moment.

"First of all, Governor, you must not go to the imperial capital at this time. There is no need to accuse someone of committing a crime. Otherwise, if someone wants to harm you, they will not be protected at all."

Xiao Jingchuan nodded, agreeing with what Gu Wenhui said.

"There are only two ways left. One is to hand over the position of county guard and the huge Donglai County, take away all the soldiers, money and materials, and look for opportunities to make a comeback. As long as the people are still there, everything will be fine. There’s still a chance.”

Hearing this, Jamel Xiao frowned even more tightly and said, "What about the other way?"

"If you don't comply with the decree, stick to Donglai County and wait for a helping hand." Gu Wenhui said.

"Help? You mean the third prince?" Xiao Jamchuan couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's the other princes." Gu Wenhui explained with a faint smile.

"Nowadays, the six princes are fighting each other more and more fiercely. Since the third prince wants to abandon us and the second prince wants to take revenge on us, then there may be no other princes willing to accept us.

Of course, the premise is that the governor must show enough value to attract the special attention of several other princes. "

"Value? You mean my private soldiers?" Xiao Jingchuan followed what Gu Wenhui said and learned to answer quickly.

"Yes, the battle between the six emperors for the emperor will most likely involve soldiers and horses in the end. As long as the governor shows a strong enough force, I believe there will be a prince willing to pick up your freshly sharpened sword and help him ascend the throne!

As long as there is a prince willing to guarantee the Xiao family, even the third prince who has changed his mind, your two young masters in the imperial capital can resolve the crisis together. "

When Gu Wenhui finished speaking, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes lit up.

Based on this analysis, it is impossible to say that his two sons can be saved!

As for the private soldiers, he has practiced hard over the years and has never been ambiguous. Although the results obtained are not as good as those of those who have fought in hundreds of battles, they still have good combat power.

Among them, the lower-level officers such as corps commanders and commanders are all arranged based on the strength standards of warriors!

When Gu Wenhui said this, he saw that Xiao Jingchuan was a little moved, so he said no more and quietly retreated outside the crowd to wait.

There were different voices among the staff officials, but most of them agreed with what Gu Wenhui said.

The discussion lasted until late at night, and then everyone retreated.

County Prime Minister Ji Xuechang walked at the end and said with some hesitation: "My lord, resisting the decree and disobeying it is a serious crime. Once you do it, there is no turning back."

There was some hesitation in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said: "The only ones who can save my son are those princes. I will not sit still and wait for death. If it doesn't work, I will abandon the city and start planning again!"

After seeing this, Ji Xuechang knew that his county guard had made up his mind, so he could only sigh and leave.

The Xiao family, which seemed to be at the height of its power and was making all the difference in Donglai County, almost fell apart in an instant just because of a game and an idea from a higher level.

It is not easy to fight against that overwhelming power.

A few more days passed like this.

The imperial envoy really came, and as Gu Wenhui said, he wanted to remove Xiao Jingchuan from his position as county governor and escort him to the capital for interrogation.

Xiao Jingchuan knew that this was a road of no return, and finally resolutely chose to resist the decree and broke up with the court.

This is not a bold move.

Normally, the imperial court holds the military power in the world, which is something that a small county guard like him can't resist.

But now the Holy Emperor is bedridden, and the six most likely successors have been beaten to death, and they don't even bother to pay attention to Donglai County, which is far away.

In the end, in order to safeguard the imperial power, the Central Secretariat ordered the three counties of Nanyang, Qijiang, and Yongkang to jointly send troops to attack the rebel Donglai Governor.

These three counties are close to Donglai County. There is no need to travel long distances to send troops, and there is no need to waste too much money and people. The cost of crusade is the lowest and the highest efficiency.

And by gathering the power of the three counties, normally it should be a sure thing to conquer a Donglai County.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.

"It's true as Wen Hui said, the imperial court only allows these three counties to send troops!" Xiao Jingchuan said with an excited expression after receiving the news of the dispatch of troops and generals from the three counties.

"The Holy One ignores the affairs of the state, and since the Chancellor's Office does not have the military talisman in hand, it cannot mobilize the central army or the border troops. It can only coordinate the forces of surrounding counties and counties. This is not surprising.

In fact, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China are currently focusing on the vacant throne. They are busy taking sides and party disputes, and their minds will not be elsewhere. Even the three county governors are waiting to see the situation and will not devote all their efforts. Cooperate.

To put it bluntly, the current court and imperial power are at their weakest! "Gu Wenhui cupped his hands and said slowly, not impatiently.

"Then what's next." Xiao Jingchuan looked at Gu Wenhui.

"The next step is a tough battle. If the county guard can defeat the soldiers of the three counties, the situation can be broken." Gu Wenhui said.

"good!"

On this day, Song Changming received a summons from Xiao Shuyun and came to Xiao Mansion.

Soon he realized that the atmosphere in the Xiao Mansion today was a bit unusual. All the servants were in a hurry or carrying something.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard the sound of a piano, which was gentle and sad.

Song Changming recognized that this piano was played by Xiao Shuyun, and he had listened to it many times in the past few days.

Although he didn't understand the music, he could still hear that the sound of the piano played by Xiao Shuyun today was a little different from the past.

Stepping into the courtyard, Song Changming handed over his hands after the music of the piano ended.

"I've met Miss Fourth."

There were only Xiao Shuyun and her two maids in the courtyard, and no other servants or guests.

"Chief Song, when I see you this time, I want to say goodbye to you." Xiao Shuyun stood up and sighed.

Today, she is wearing a goose-yellow dress, with beautiful black silk hair hanging down. She only has a few delicate hairpins on her head, without too many gold, silver and jade ornaments, making her look elegant and pretty.
