Chapter 209 Ignite Ambition
The yamen runners of Panyu County led Xie Zhan and the other two back.
At this time, Xie Zhan was walking on the road, but he was worried because he and Lu Songli knew each other well.
He was not surprised that Lu Songli could guess his next plan.
But there is a gap between wanting to do and doing it, which is the origin of being out of reach.
What shocked him was that Lu Songli, who was far away in the northeast, could reach out to Lingnan and interfere with his choice.
How did she do it? How long have they been in Xiangping? Is her development so fast?
Xie Zhan suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Lu Songli walked too fast. In comparison, he was several steps behind her.
Xie Zhan didn't know that he guessed wrong. Lu Songli and his group had just arrived in Xiangping, not as he thought, and had already arrived in Xiangping and operated for a while. But he didn't know how much Lu Songli had done along the way.
But he was right about one thing. As soon as the other party made a move, they could accurately lock on to the other party. It must be said that they all knew each other better than the other party imagined.
When the Xie clan members saw Xie Zhan, Xie Nan and Xie Bai return, their family head's face showed nothing, but Xie Nan and Xie Bai's expressions were really not good.
Is this another bad news? The clan members were worried, they were really scared.
The clan elders Xie Yuan and Xie Qian cast an inquiring look at them, and Xie Nan and Xie Bai shook their heads slightly.
At this time, Xie Zhan had come back to his senses. He smiled and looked at his clan members,
"Don't worry, everyone. The noble who summoned us just now is the eldest son of the Chen family. The Chen family is one of the six major families in the south. The reason for summoning me, I won't talk about it for the time being, anyway, it's a good thing."
Xie Zhan knew the current state of the clan members very well. Too many enemies or too many disasters would make the clan members who were in a difficult situation feel suffocated and desperate.
At the same time, he also knew that he was the backbone of the clan members at present. So Xie Zhan simply skipped the fact that he was being plotted against, and tried to be as nonchalant and optimistic as possible.
After hearing what he said, the Xie family members really relaxed.
And the yamen runners beside him were also very satisfied with his words.
Only the core members of the Xie family looked at him hesitantly. When Xie Zhan looked at them, he shook his head slightly, signaling them not to say anything.
Xie Zhan thought that his original plan was to make a name for himself, and then find an appropriate opportunity to get to know the head of the Zhu family, and then the two sides would start to cooperate, whether it was to surrender or form an alliance.
Now the situation has changed, and the plan must be adjusted accordingly.
Xie Zhan made a decision in his heart, Chen family, you are the ones who insisted on bumping into us.
If it was before, Xie Zhan's goal was to work hard to make merit and return to Chang'an with his family members. He believed that the Qin family also had the same idea.
Then at this time, his ambition changed.
Because of the support of his wife Zhao Yutan's precognitive dream, his thinking was inspired by another way.
From his wife's precognitive dream, he learned that the Qin family would rebel. Looking at every step taken by Lu Songli, you can understand her intention. She can attack or defend.
He thought Lu Songli should make two plans. The first is to work hard to make meritorious deeds so that the Qin family can be re-employed by the emperor, and the second is to rebel.
But soon, Xie Zhan overturned his guess.
No, from the fact that the two broke off the engagement, it can be seen that Lu Songli is a person who can't stand grievances and is very determined. The former Queen Mother and the current Grand Empress Dowager had forced her with the privileges of the royal family...
There is only one possibility left, Lu Songli will rebel!
Xie Zhan felt that his speculation was correct. Lu Songli was not a person who would sit and wait for death. She would not give the power to decide her own destiny to others.
If Lu Songli knew his thoughts, she would definitely spit at him. She was just trying to control her own destiny. As the saying goes, make the worst plan and work towards the best direction.
It can be said that Lu Songli's active response ignited Xie Zhan's ambition in advance.
Xie Zhan felt that the Qin family could do it..., why couldn't he?
The vitality that Xie Zhan exuded from within infected the people of the Xie family.
After pacifying the family members, Xie Zhan walked towards the Zhao family.
After pacifying the Zhao family, his in-laws, Xie Zhan looked towards the direction of Chang'an City.
Although he was temporarily behind Lu Songli at this time, he was not without advantages compared to her.
In any case, he had gathered the family members around him, while Lu Songli still had close relatives hanging outside.
Next, he had to work hard to develop his own power. The first small goal was to turn the South into the territory of their Xie family, and use it as a foundation to disrupt Dali and compete for the Central Plains.
Before that, it would be good to let Chang'an move a little, to contain part of Lu Songli's mind, to stop her steps, and to give him time to catch up.
...
Lu Songli naturally thought of what Xie Zhan was worried about.
Their next game must be in Chang'an City.
Lu Songli knew very well that his current weakness was his mother's family far away in Chang'an.
She and Xie Zhan were like chess players. In the current situation, Xie Zhan and she were in the north and south respectively, which was equivalent to a new game. Neither side had crossed the Chu River and Han River. The two could only make two moves in the endgame of the previous game and continue the competition.
"Let's go. I'll take you to where you live."
Tang Yueguang would arrange housing for the Qin family next, and someone else would arrange work for them.
Looking at the Qin family, Tang Yueguang's habit of feeling embarrassed for others came back.
The youngest of those exiled here is over eight years old, and even if there are any under eight, there are very few.
Unlike the Qin family, there are ten children in a row, all of whom are under ten years old, and there is even a baby who is less than three months old. How can his colleagues assign tasks to a baby?
"Sir Tang, please help me." Lu Songli glanced at Qin Sheng. Next, whether it is arranging housing or labor, it may be directly or indirectly related to Tang Yueguang who is receiving them. It is right for them to have a good relationship with him.
Qin Sheng moved.
Tang Yueguang only felt that a round finger-sized, but heavy thing was stuffed into his hand. He moved his heart and touched it slightly, vaguely guessing that it was a small golden bead?
This family is indeed as powerful as he guessed. After all, there are still few exiles who come here with such a neat family.
"What are your requirements for accommodation? You can tell me." Tang Yueguang asked with a smile.
Lu Songli said with a well-behaved and honest face, "We want to live together as a family and take care of each other. Apart from that, we don't have any other requirements."
Lu Songli picked out the most important requirements. The golden bead was not enough for them to make many requests. If they made too many requests, the other party would definitely discount them.
Lu Songli felt that there were not many people exiled as a group as theirs. She thought it was also a difficult problem to settle their whole family.
Kang Yueguang's smile deepened. He thought about it and took them around and around to a dilapidated mud house on the side.
The Qin family stood outside the fence and looked inside.
This mud house was rammed, the roof was covered with straw, and the walls were cracked. The only advantage was that it was big enough. There were five main rooms side by side, and two small side rooms on the left and right sides, which could be used as kitchens and other functional rooms.
The Qin family had a total of 20 people. If they squeezed together, they could barely live there. Otherwise, they would have to live separately.
