Chapter 100 Heart to Heart
The fire shone brightly, Xiao Yungui's square national face turned red. He moved Zhang Wuzi and sat in front of the brazier, quietly looking at the swaying flames without saying a word. The Queen Mother of the West beside him also had a quiet face, staring at the flames in a daze.
The strange behavior of the Western King and his wife made Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang look at each other. They fought all the way from Guangxi. The second general Lin and Li have been following the Western King to fight. They have never seen the Western King's look like this. The two of them looked at each other and were not sure what the Western King and the Western King Niang were thinking.
"Have you read the notice of killing Qing Yao today?" In the end, Xiao Yungui broke the silence, but he suddenly said that the notice issued by the Wing King's execution of Qing Yao was released, which made Lin and Li a little confused.
Lin Fengxiang interjected: "His Royal Highness Wing counted the crimes of the governor of the Qing Demon Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue in the notice, a total of thirteen articles. Just resisting the holy soldiers of the heavenly kingdom, burning the official warehouse to place the people in water and fire, forcing the people to train for the group, and harming the people, these are the death penalty that should be killed. His Royal Highness Wing denounced the crimes of the Qing Demon in the notice, which is really satisfying."
Xiao Yungui nodded and said carelessly: "Yes, the Wing King came into the city the day before yesterday, and the Japanese King ordered him to kill the Qing demon yesterday, but today he could find so many crimes of the Qing demon Luo Bingzhang. How did he do it alone?"
Li Kaifang shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten about the Western King? This announcement was made by Huang Yukun, the noble prince of the King of Wings, among which Zhang Suimu, Liu Chengfang and others helped him, not the work of the King of Wings."
Xiao Yungui nodded, then said, "Yes, a hero has three helpers, the Wing King is so lucky, and he has many good helpers."
This sentence obviously hurt Lin, Li and Lin Fengxiang first said angrily: "Why does the Western King say this, isn't it cold to us brothers? Our front army in the West Palace has many powerful ministers and generals."
Li Kaifang heard Xiao Yungui's words and frowned: "The King of the West treats our old brothers as close as brothers, and they fight from Jintian to Changsha. I ask myself that my literary talent is not as good as the people in the Yidian, but the King of the West wants to let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I will not have any complaints."
Xiao Yungui patted the two of them on the shoulders at the right time and said in a deep voice: "I know that among the generals of the former army, you are the two of you who think about me the same as me, but can you know everything about me like Huang Yukun and Zhang Suimu of the Wing Palace, and you will know everything about me? Tonight, our brothers spread the words, and no one can hide them."
Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, Li Kaifang asked tentatively: "Are the Western King worried about the Heavenly King and the Eastern King coming to Changsha tomorrow?"
Xiao Yungui didn't say anything, looked up at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, and asked back, "What will happen if the Heavenly King and the East King arrive?"
Li Kaifang looked at Lin Fengxiang and gritted his teeth and said, "The King of the West, conquering Changsha is the first contribution of the Kingdom of Heaven. We have already sent the documents of the war, but now the Chenzhou brigade is almost here to Changsha. The King of Heaven and the King of East have not even praised it in a word. The two of them knew that the King of Heaven and the King of East were afraid that the King of West would be too high and they intended to suppress it. After the King of Chenzhou arrived tomorrow, they were afraid that the King of West would be even more angry. I was so angry that I was talking nonsense."
Lin Fengxiang whispered: "King of the West, to be honest, you are the backbone in my brothers' hearts. The King of the West and Brother Tian possession are so glorious. The two of them respect them even more. But the King of the West and King of Heaven are the same as brothers, so sometimes even if we see something, we dare not talk nonsense, for fear of ruining the friendship between the King of the West and King of Heaven and King of Heaven."
Xiao Yungui was secretly happy. Sure enough, these two were extremely loyal to him, but Xiao Chaogui, a rough man, didn't know how to make a heart-to-heart talk, so he had a layer of window paper between them. The two were concerned about Xiao Chaogui, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing's close relationship, so they didn't dare to say some hidden words. Seeing that the two of them were worried about their hearts, Xiao Yungui said earnestly: "The two brothers can say these words to me so heartily, and I already understand in my heart. I also regard them as a confidant to them. Yes, I am indeed worried about the Heavenly King. The East King was stinging the King, and even let the brothers in the West Palace be angry."
Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang both breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the Western King was the same as the two of them. Li Kaifang pondered: "The Western King fought for the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere, and every time he led the front army first. Which battle was not the first to charge and led the soldiers? Our former army was famous for its outstanding military achievements, and the Western King's reputation for fighting was also spread throughout the army. But that's how the Western King was so jealous. After the Southern King returned to heaven, it seemed that the Heavenly King and the Eastern King's attitude towards the Western King became even more strange. Take this attack on Changsha for example. There were 30,000 or 40,000 people in Chenzhou, and more than 5,000 subordinates of our former army. However, the Heavenly King and the Eastern King only let the Western King lead more than 1,800 people to fight. Didn't the remaining troops of the former army take advantage of the situation and merge into the central army and be led by Lai Guojiu? This is obviously going to cut off the Western King's military power."
Xiao Yungui remained silent. He also learned from the words of what Li Kaifang said. The former soldiers who were commanding him were left in Chenzhou and were incorporated into the central army by the King of the East, and were led by the King of Heaven Hong Xiuquan. Lai Hanying was the younger brother of Lai Xiying, the wife of the King of Heaven. He had read poetry, literature and writing, and also studied medicine, and knew medical principles. He had been in Guangxi for a long time. After the Jintian reign, he was appointed as the internal medicine officer and served as the commander of the army. But in early October, the King of the East ordered the former army of the King of Heaven to be the commander of Lai Hanying, and Lai Hanying was promoted to the right fourth command of the palace.
Lai Hanying is considered a close relative of the Heavenly King. Xiao Chaogui left before his feet, and the remaining 3,000 troops in the front army were assigned to Lai Hanying. Lai Hanying was promoted to the post because of this. I don’t know what rights and the Heavenly King have to deal with it. Anyway, Xiao Yungui only felt cold in his heart.
Lin Fengxiang said sadly: "To be honest, King of the West, Kaifang and I have told you about this privately, and we all feel a little cold. Is our contribution to conquering Changsha not as good as that of uncle Lai?" He then looked up at Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner, and lowered his head and said: "King of the West, if these words were put in the past, Kaifang and I would not dare to say them to you, but now it seems that we must say them. Someone in the Kingdom of Heaven is excluding the King of the West..."
Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Does anyone you are talking about referring to the Heavenly King and the East King?"
Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were both slightly surprised and turned their heads to look at Hong Yun'er, but they saw that her expression was normal, as if she had already known about this, and they were silent, which was considered as a default.
Xiao Yungui took a deep breath and sighed: "So I only asked two brothers to discuss this tonight. What should I do now?"
Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang looked at each other and did not dare to say more. Hong Yuner suddenly said, "Don't worry, brothers, don't worry, the Western King and I are on the same mind. Although we are quarrels with him on weekdays, I listen to him in the face of big troubles. The two brothers have something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Seeing Hong Yuner say this, Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang both breathed a sigh of relief. It would be amazing if the two said tonight, if they reached the ears of the Heavenly King and the East King. Fortunately, the Western King and the Western King Niang both understood the current situation, and the two seemed to have become different from the original, surprisingly consistent.
At this moment, Li Kaifang pondered: "The King of the West takes the initiative to occupy the south of Changsha City. The terrain in the east of the city has been arranged in advance. At first, Brother Lin and I were wondering why as soon as the King of Wings arrived, we had to leave the city to defend the danger in advance. It turned out that the King of the West was already prepared. As long as we occupy the dangerous bridge in the south of the city, we should control the Xiangjiang River Floating Bridge and enter Yuelu Mountain west, so that the people in the West Hall can move forward and retreat freely outside the city. King of the West, I guess you are thinking, if the King of Heaven and King of the East are really forced, you will go apart, right?"
Sure enough, he was still a delicate person, but Lin Fengxiang seemed to understand now and looked at Xiao Yungui in amazement.
"If I have such a plan, what do you think of the two brothers?" Xiao Yungui took out the dry tobacco and lit it, frowned and said, "What if I can't leave?"
Lin Fengxiang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the King of the West, I would rather advise you not to leave. Isn't it good to follow the brigade? I think the King of Heaven may just be thinking about it for a moment. When I see the King of Heaven tomorrow, the King of East may have a turnaround?"
Xiao Yungui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "What I say to you tonight is your confidant brothers, so I have such heart-to-heart words. The Heavenly King and the East King may have a turnaround when they meet this queen tomorrow, but what will happen later? Our West Palace is always rushing forward. When will it be? In order to follow my brothers, I should think about a way out."
Li Kaifang looked at Lin Fengxiang and said, "Brother Lin, the King of the West is right. It is naturally beneficial to follow the brigade, but there are also bad things. Since the breakout of Yong'an, the old brothers in the West Palace have been unable to raise their heads. Didn't the Heavenly Father say that everyone is ordinary brothers and sisters? Then why did our West Palace have always had military achievements but the rewards have not been delayed? If this continues, it would be better to really make the search for him. The King of the West is both wise and brave, and led our more than a thousand brothers to conquer Changsha. Now, we have tens of thousands of people, so we can't kill Qing Yao and fallen flowers and water wherever we go? Even if we give up Changsha, we can still conquer another provincial capital."
Lin Fengxiang frowned and said, "Kaifang, people are trying to persuade people to fight but not to separate. Why do you always think about splitting up? Although the Heavenly King and the East King are a little bit reluctant to let us wait for the old brothers in the West Palace, we finally came out of Jintian together. Is it appropriate to leave the brigade at this time?"
Xiao Yungui suddenly said, "No need to say anything about the two brothers. I have decided to tell you all the way out. I can be said to be heart-warming about you. As long as you tell the truth to me, will you follow me if you are willing to do it?!"
Xiao Yungui's words were stiff and majestic, and his eyes were sharply staring at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, which shocked the two of them. From Xiao Yungui's firm gaze, they understood that Xiao Yungui's heart was very firm and could not refuse.
Li Kaifang first stood up and fisted and said, "Xiang Wang, I will definitely follow you to the death and never regret it!"
Following Lin Fengxiang, he also stood up slowly and said, "Why King, although I don't agree to leave now, the Western King has made up my mind. I also swear to follow the Western King to the death with my brothers!"
Xiao Yungui could see that Lin Fengxiang's words were more from the heart, while Li Kaifang was more sleek. He must have seen that he was no longer the Western King who knew how to fight in the past, and had greater ambitions in his heart, so he followed them to the end, so he would definitely be able to do something big.
At that moment, Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and held their arms and said, "Okay, okay, okay, in the future, we brothers will continue to walk the same path, one prosper and one loses one loses one!"
