Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 213 The Lobbyist
The killing sound outside the tent was loud, but inside the tent was silent.

Lin Kui silently looked at Xiao Beiheng who was sitting above him.

Xiao Beiheng crossed his hands under his chin and looked at the ground.But Lin Kui could see his nervousness and uneasiness from the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He didn't understand why His Royal Highness would abandon Xirong in the north and return to attack Nanping.In this way, it is clear that they are going to war with Xiao Zhuo's coalition forces in Xiliang.If Nanping cannot be captured, the Xi Rong behind them will attack, and the Dingbei Army will be in danger of being destroyed.

"His Royal Highness," a military general rushed into the big tent with blood on his face, staggered and knelt down on the ground, "the last general is incompetent, unable to capture Nanping. All my men are dead."

Xiao Beiheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said coldly: "Cut."

Several sergeants came in from outside the tent, grabbed the general and dragged him outside.

The general was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted in panic: "His Royal Highness, the last general has done his best, and I will give the last general another chance..."

"Is your military order for standing up?" Xiao Beiheng waved his hand, and asked the sergeant to drag the general down.The general's shout has been echoing outside the tent for a long time.

Xiao Beiheng covered his face with his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Zhuo...Xiao Zhuo."

Lin Kui persuaded: "Your Highness, you can't kill the general anymore. You have already killed three people. If you continue like this, it will be bad for the morale of the army."

Xiao Beiheng said in a deep voice: "We must capture Nanping, otherwise Xi Rong will slow down and attack from behind us, and our entire army will be wiped out."

"The three generals guarding Nanping fought with Xiao Zhuo in Beidi. They must have been instructed by Xiao Zhuo." Lin Kui took a few steps on the spot, "If you let the three armies rest for a day How's the attack?"

"There are only [-] defenders anyway, even if they take the crowd, they can take it!" Xiao Beiheng interrupted Lin Kui irritably, "Now they only have more than [-] troops left, if they attack harder, Nanping must be in their hands. The problem now is the [-] Xiliang Army, and they are coming here for reinforcements. If the Xiliang Army arrives, we will be in danger."

"If we don't attack Nanping and go around..." Lin Kui felt that it was impossible and stopped fighting.

Xiao Beiheng shook his head and said: "Bypassing Nanping, the Nanping defenders can attack the grain road behind our army. At that time, the army will be chaotic without fighting."

When he fought against Xiao Zhuo, food and grass were originally supplied by the border gates of the imperial court.Now that King Qi raised his troops, Zhao Mu at the border gate should not have continued to supply food, but he and King Qi were good friends and did not run out of food and grass.

"Yes...at all costs." Xiao Beiheng seemed to be lost in thought, "It seems that this is the only way to go."

"Does His Royal Highness have a plan?" Lin Kui asked in surprise.

Xiao Beiheng has always seen more clearly than ordinary people, and he must have a way to solve the current predicament.

"This letter," Xiao Beiheng pulled out a letter from his bosom, "is written by the virtuous concubine Mei Dai to Mei Pu."

"Could it be that Wu Mingzi, the commander of the guards, sent it here?" Lin Kui reached out to take the letter.

After Wu Mingzi came over, he offended Xiao Beiheng for some reason, and was killed by Xiao Beiheng with a sword.After he heard the news, he was worried for a while.I always feel that Xiao Beiheng does things differently from before.

"I don't worry about others. You go and hand this letter to Mei Pu yourself, telling him not to reinforce Nanping." Xiao Beiheng said, "Leave immediately, I will know the result today."

"His Royal Highness, Mei Pu and Xiao Zhuo are allies. If he does not reinforce Nanping, it will be tantamount to betrayal. Can this mere letter make Mei Pu betray Xiao Zhuo?"

"I don't know, but this is the only way now. Go!" Xiao Beiheng stood up and urged.

Lin Kui knew that the situation was critical, so he hurried out of the big tent, and accompanied by a small troop of cavalry, he bypassed Nanping and ran all the way to the Xiliang army camp.

Maple learned that Xiao Beiheng's staff members were here, and said with a sneer, "The lobbyist is here, he will serve with swords and axes, and the frying pan will serve you."

Lin Kui entered the Xiliang army camp, came to Mei Pu's tent, and saw Mei Pu sitting in the middle.There are swordsmen on both sides, each of them with their chests and stomachs puffed up, with ghost-headed swords shining in their arms, and they are breathing cold air.There is a boiling oil pan in the center of the big tent. The fire below the pan is fierce, and the boiling oil in the pan is smoking.

If you throw yourself in it, it will probably be crispy in no time.

"Mei Shizi, I am Lin Kui, the aide of Prince Qi's son." He secretly swallowed his saliva, stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.

Mape wears a metal mask and cannot see the expression.Putting his right hand on the hilt of his sword, he said to Lin Kui, "Would you like to be a lobbyist?"

"That's right, I was ordered to persuade you, and hope that Mei Shizi will retreat."

After hearing this, Meipu laughed, stood up and said, "Your Dingbei Army now has Nanping in front and Xirong in the back, and the entire army is about to be wiped out. You actually want me to retreat?"

Lin Kui put his hands down and said, "Mei Shizi, you don't see how powerful it is. I hope you will listen to me and let me explain."

"Then let's say, if it's not good, put it in the frying pan." Maple sneered.

"Xiao Zhuo's heart is well known to everyone. He has been plotting against Xiliang for a long time. If he succeeds, I am afraid that Xiliang will no longer be owned by the Mei family." Lin Kui planned to use Xiliang's ownership to persuade, "Now we Prince Qi's son led the army to attack Xiao Zhuo. He can assure Shizi Mei that he will never have any wrong thoughts about Xiliang. As long as Xiao Zhuo is defeated, he will return to the army and go to Zhongzhou immediately."

Mei Pu's eyes flickered behind the mask, and he asked, "Why is Xiao Beiheng so persistent that he has to kill Xiao Zhuo?"

"Nowadays the whole world is mobilizing to crusade against the Hunjun. Xiao Zhuo is Hunjun's right-hand man, if he is kept, it will be a great harm. Naturally, we must get rid of it. Could it be that Mei Shizi intends to assist the Hunjun?"

"Our Mei family has never had anything to do with the imperial court," Mei Pu snorted and turned his face away. "As for Xiao Zhuo, my father promised him that as long as he defeats the Jingzhou army, we will surrender Xiliang."

"Are you willing to give the four counties of Xiliang to Xiao Zhuo?" Lin Kui couldn't believe it, "This is the foundation of the Mei family."

"This is the king's decision. As a son, I must abide by it." Maple got up impatiently and said, "What else do you want to say?"

Lin Kui said: "Mei Shizi, what if your sister refuses?"

"My sister?" Maple shook her body and lowered her head, "She's been thrown into limbo in the capital now, and I can't escape here."

Lin Kui took the letter out of his pocket and said, "Princess Mei, this is a letter from Concubine Xian. It fell into the hands of His Highness, His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness orders you to send the letter back to you."

After Maple heard this, he immediately got up and turned around the table, took the letter, and unfolded it with one hand.

After looking at it, his body trembled slightly, he took two steps back in a row, and murmured: "It's my sister's handwriting that is true, I didn't expect Xiao Zhuo..."

"Hehe, Mei Shizi. Do you know Xiao Zhuo's identity now?" Lin Kui said, "He is just a bastard, and he doesn't even know who his biological father is. Can you tolerate handing over Xiliang to such a person?"

Maple sat slumped on the chair, her voice was obviously crying:
"Sister, you are a girl, but you have been helping us all the time. I am an older brother..."

Seeing that Mei Pu didn't mention Xiao Zhuo, but was sad for Mei Dai, Lin Kui couldn't help shaking his head.

"Mei Shizi, you also know. If the Mei family's foundation is handed over to a bastard like Xiao Zhuo, how will you explain it to your grandfather when you go to Jiuquan in the future?" He continued to add details, "Does the King of Xiliang know If he knew Xiao Zhuo's identity, he would definitely not agree to give Xiliang to someone like Xiao Zhuo."

"Needless to say!" Maple jumped up.
