Chapter 197
Shen Yuexi has also experienced many battles, but she was still shocked to see all this at such a close distance.

Xiao Zhuo covered her eyes with his hand, and said shortly, "Go to Dr. Hua quickly."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and ran out of the room.

Doctor Hua went out to see patients in the city today, but he was not in the prefect's mansion.But no one except Dr. Hua could heal the King of Xiliang's injury, so Shen Yuexi asked Qiang Lin to send the secret guards to look for him immediately, and brought Dr. Hua back.

When Dr. Hua arrived in a hurry, there were already many people standing in the room where the King of Xiliang was. When they saw that Dr. Hua was brought by Shen Yuexi, they stepped aside one after another.

"Husband, I have brought Dr. Hua here."

Mei Cheng was lying on the bed, Xiao Zhuo and Mei Pu were beside her.Dying to breathe, he raised his hand and shook Doctor Hua, as if signaling him not to go over.

Doctor Hua stopped in his tracks, looked at it carefully, turned around and shook his head at Shen Yuexi, and said in a low voice: "Let the prince arrange the funeral."

Mei Cheng took Xiao Zhuo's hand who was sitting by the bed, and said: "When a person is about to die, what he said is true. Our father and son are incompetent. If it weren't for His Royal Highness, Xiliang would have belonged to others. In front of all the civil and military families here, I would The king has something to ask."

Xiao Zhuo said: "My lord, please tell me."

With hatred in Mei Cheng's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Our Mei family has a deep hatred with Jingzhou. I hope His Royal Highness will step down on Jingzhou and avenge this king and Pu'er. As long as His Royal Highness agrees, the four counties of Xiliang will all belong to His Highness .”

When Shen Yuexi heard this, she was surprised, happy and afraid.

What was surprising was that Wang Meicheng of Xiliang would actually give the whole of Xiliang to Xiao Zhuo.The good news is that this was originally my husband's goal, and now it has been realized all at once.What I'm afraid of is that my husband may defend the Mei family against the next Jingzhou army.

Xiao Zhuo turned to look at Maple.Mape seemed to be still immersed in great pain and did not respond to this.

The people in the room listened and started whispering in low voices.

Qianhu Zhang Song took a step forward and said to the crowd: "Your lord is seriously injured and delirious. You can't believe what he said. Since Xiliang was entrusted, it has been passed down from generation to generation of the Mei family. Even if the lord abdicates, it should be Mei The crown prince succeeds. Even if His Royal Highness has made great achievements, it cannot be surpassed."

Everyone nodded, some shook their heads.

Mei Chengdao: "This king will not die for a day, and my words are the law."

Zhang Song fell to his knees with a thud, and walked to the bedside with his knees, bumped his forehead on the ground with a bang, and wept, "Please take back your life, my lord."

Mei Cheng said: "This king has made up his mind, there is no need to say anything."

After finishing speaking, Mei Cheng looked at Xiao Zhuo: "His Royal Highness can make a quick decision."

Xiao Zhuo took Mei Cheng's hand and said: "I promise the prince to assist Mei Shizi to pacify Jingzhou for the prince."

Seeing that it was irreversible, Zhang Song cried and went out.

Mei Cheng said: "You all go out first, the king has something to say to Pu'er alone."

Seeing that the king of Xiliang had made a decision, everyone retreated outside the door.

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo went out together, Qiu Liming and Song Zhen also followed.

Qiu Liming whispered in a voice that only they could hear: "What are you sending? Yongwei has been occupied by the Jingzhou army, and the Xirong in the north has occupied Nanping. We only have two cities, Zhangwu and Leshan, and there are still enemies in front and behind. "

Song Zhen put the feather fan behind his back and said in a low voice, "Even if there is only one city left, Xiliang's surname is Mei. But if the king of Xiliang says it, we can stand up in name."

After finishing speaking, Song Zhen cupped his hands and said to Xiao Zhuo: "My subordinates first congratulate the lord for winning the four counties of Xiliang."

Seeing Song Zhen's happy face, Shen Yuexi felt a little strange.Now the king of Xiliang is not dead yet.Besides, is this occasion and atmosphere suitable for congratulating Xiao Zhuo?
Xiao Zhuo waved his hands and said, "It's not appropriate to talk about it at this moment, let's wait outside the door first."

Inside the room, Mei Cheng took Mei Pu's hand and said in tears, "Pu'er, I don't blame him as a father for the four prefectures of Xiliang to Xiao Zhuo, right?"

Mei Pu has recovered his sanity, and said sadly: "My son knows what Daddy is thinking. My son has lost one hand, and he is just a useless person. Only Xiao Zhuo can defeat the Jingzhou army and avenge our Mei family."

"Wrong..." Mei Cheng slowly turned his face away, "Dai'er once sent a secret letter, in which he said that Xiao Zhuo is a cruel and easy-to-kill person, and he has been plotting against me in Xiliang for a long time, so this king should be more vigilant .”

"Your sister said that?" Maple shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhuo and I are good friends, he has saved us so many times."

"People like Xiao Zhuo, no one in our Mei family can contend with. He has been kind to us again and again. Since he wants to take Xiliang, I might as well give it to him," Mei Cheng said, "If he turns his face in the future, think about it Maybe you and Dai'er's life can be spared, leaving blood for our Mei family."

"I don't believe it," Mei Pu stood up abruptly, "I'm going to ask Xiao Zhuo."

"Don't..." The King of Xiliang sat up, reached out to grab Meipu, fell under the bed, and died instantly.

Meipu turned around, hugged the dead body of King Xiliang and cried loudly.People outside the house heard the movement inside and knew that the King of Xiliang had passed away, so they entered the house one after another to make arrangements for the funeral.

After burying the king of Xiliang, Zhang Song found Meipu and came to persuade him again.

"Although the prince said that he ordered Xiao Zhuo to be the king before his death, we believe that only His Royal Highness is the orthodox successor. Xiao Zhuo is probably clear about it. He has been inactive for the past two days. In the end, he thought it would be better to act first... ..."

Mei Pu raised his eyes and said, "You want to kill Xiao Zhuo?"

"If you don't do it first, the four counties of Xiliang will no longer belong to the Mei family!" Zhang Song persuaded, "In the end, the prince must have been coerced by Xiao Zhuo to make that decision. Your Highness, are you still here?" , How could he make such a ridiculous decision. Maybe you and the prince were besieged by the Xirong army, and it was Xiao Zhuo's intention..."

Mei Pu clapped his hands on the table: "It's nonsense, Xiao Zhuo is not that kind of person at all! If it weren't for him, my father and I would not be where we are today."

"This is Xiao Zhuo's cunning," Zhang Song said convincingly, "He has favored us many times. Think about it, if there is no conspiracy, who would be nice to others for no reason. You can think clearly, the four counties of Xiliang If it is taken away by Xiao Zhuo, what kind of face will you have when you go to see your grandfather under the Nine Springs."

Maple raised his hand to stop Zhang Song from continuing.

"Needless to say, we now rely entirely on Xiao Zhuo to lead the army. If something happens to him, can we rely on you and me to resist Jingzhou's 20 troops?"

"His Royal Highness, the last general is loyal, and the sky can learn from it. If you don't stop, there will be future troubles!"

Zhang Song tried hard to persuade, but Mei Pu just didn't listen.At this time, a sergeant came to report that the Jingzhou army had mobilized [-] troops and marched towards Zhangwu.Mei Pu went to Xiao Zhuo to discuss the military situation.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Zhang Song went back and arranged assassins privately, intending to assassinate Xiao Zhuo.

Meipu came to the hall and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Jingzhou has sent troops, what's your plan?"

Xiao Zhuo's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist."

"Why?" Maple was taken aback.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Only just now, scouts came to report that the Xirong Army also gathered 20 troops and was gathering at Nanping City in the north."

Maple shouted: "How is it possible! Why didn't I receive this news?"

But now is not the time to care about this, Xiao Zhuo has many secret guards of Xi Rong under his command, maybe it is the information they got, which is not certain.But a decision must be made now.

"King Doma thinks that I broke the contract first, and has summoned the kings of Xirong to attack us. Zhangwu's terrain is flat, there is no danger to rely on, and he is in the middle of two groups of troops. If he defends forcefully, he will not be far from the city. .We must retreat to Leshan in the southeast first."

"Give Zhang Wu over to the Jingzhou Army?" Maple roared dissatisfied.

He has a deep hatred for Jingzhou, but now Xiao Zhuo wants to back down.He subconsciously expressed his dissatisfaction.

Xiao Zhuo raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his eyelids and said, "Abandon Zhang Wu first, Leshan is backed by dangerous terrain and cannot attack from behind. If the Jingzhou army wants to attack Leshan, they have to go around to Xirong's side. They will never Do these things. After Xi Rong is defeated, we will turn around and deal with Jingzhou."

The two were discussing, a mysterious messenger came to the door and wanted to see Xiao Zhuo alone.

Xiao Zhuo was puzzled and led the messenger into the secret room.When he arrived in the house, the envoy looked around and took out a scroll of documents from his arms and said:

"Xiao Zhuo, please accept the emperor's secret decree."
