My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 880: Chapter 880-Warning

Xie Xian didn’t want to hide the news of Xiao Baoshu’s injury from Xiao Baoxin.

It was not that he had no choice but to hide it. For the current Xie Xian, he had already practiced it. If he really did not want Xiao Baoxin to hear his thoughts, there was still a way.

This was the skill he was most proud of after many years of marriage, other than the fist technique.

Of course, it was rarely used.

After all, he had always been frank with his wife. He could say many things directly without her needing to ‘listen.’

Xiao Baoshu’s matter was not something that could be hidden or should be hidden. Moreover, he was injured, not something more serious. Even though Xiao Baoxin did not show any mercy when beating up Xiao Baoshu, he knew how much Xiao Baoxin valued this younger brother of his.

“.. Send him to Yongzhou?” Xiao Baoxin hesitated after hearing this.” Father, aren’t you afraid that the internal chaos in Yongzhou will delay Baoshu’s treatment?”

Xie Xian said,”Then it must be because the battlefield ahead is more dangerous and not conducive to treating injuries. That’s why Father-in-law would do this…” Or…”

“Or what?” Xiao Baoxin’s expression was solemn, afraid that he would hear some bad speculations from Xie Xian’s mouth.

“I’m just guessing. Perhaps father-in-law saw that Jiang Xia King was intentionally delaying, so he sent Baoshu back to Yongzhou in the name of recuperating and playing a vigilant role. It was fine if the internal strife in Yongzhou was fierce, but if it was just a private act of King Jiang Xia, as long as King Jiang Xia didn’t want to rebel and didn’t want to be punished by the Emperor, he would be able to quickly mobilize his troops.”

This was a reasonable deduction, and Xiao Baoxin could understand it. It was very plain.

However, if Jiang Xia King intended to rebel, wouldn’t that be sending Xiao Baoshu into the tiger’s mouth?

“King Jiang Xia doesn’t have the capital to rebel.” Xie Xian said lightly.

If Jiang Xia Prince had any rebellious thoughts, it could only be because Emperor Yong Ping had forced him.

After the chaos a few years ago, Emperor Yong Ping was generous and benevolent, and many people did not pursue the matter. No matter why you rebelled, now that you have submitted to Daliang and are under my control, I will treat it as you were deluded and sincerely pardoned many people.

However, compared to the ministers, Emperor Yong Ping’s guard against the royal family had reached the peak.

King Jiangxia was different from King Huaiyang. He had experienced a few ups and downs. In fact, as long as he could get by, he would not have to do this when he was almost sixty. Wouldn’t it be good to live a few years of comfort?

Playing with his grandchildren

His son was someone else’s grandson. If he really wanted to play with his grandson, he would have a chance to live.

Although Prince Huaiyang had been suppressed during Emperor Yuheng’s time and did not dare to offend Emperor Yuheng’s taboos, Emperor Yuheng had the means and ability to put Prince Huaiyang in an important position because of the Empress Dowager.

It could be said that in the reign of Emperor Yuheng, King Huaiyang could be considered a trusted aide of Emperor Yuheng.

Because he had ascended to a high position and was placed in an important position, he was idle and ostracized by Emperor Yong Ping. King Huaiyang could not stand it.

He was only in his twenties, not even thirty. He was not like the King of Jiangxia, who was old and could wait for death.

The Grand Empress Dowager was not as influential as Emperor Yu Heng. No matter what, Emperor Yong Ping was his grandson and was not that close to the Grand Empress Dowager.

Other people could say that King Huaiyang had plotted to usurp the throne and brought about his own destruction, but in King Jiangxia’s eyes, it was inevitable that the fox would grieve over the death of a rabbit.

However, other than the fox grieving over the death of the rabbit, he had no other choice.

” The rebellious Prince Linchuan is also dead,””Not to mention that King Jiang Xia’s children are all in Jiankang. Even if he leads his troops back to Jiankang, God will give him time to start a family and have children. Even if he can give up these, he still needs soldiers who will join him.”

Sikong Xiao was like a huge mountain.

Even if the Jiangxia King rebelled, Yang Shao would be eyeing him covetously. Even if he cooperated with the Northern Wu Kingdom, it was still a problem whether he could defeat the Daliang soldiers on the way back to Jiankang.

There were too many uncertain factors. King Jiang Xia was an old woman who was very slippery, but he was not born to rebel. He only wanted to be safe in reality.

Xie Xian believed that he would stir up trouble in Jiankang City or even within a small area of the Imperial Palace. The risk was small, but the rewards were high.

However, the Jiangxia Kingdom did not have the capital to make a clear distinction between the army and the Daliang Empire.

Of course, Xie Xian didn’t dare to tell Emperor Yong Ping about this, afraid that he would be forced to rebel by Prince Jiang Xia.

Emperor Yong Ping was already wary of King Jiang Xia, but it was only after Xie Xian’s earnest persuasion that Emperor Yong Ping released King Jiang Xia for King Lin Chuan to see. If Emperor Yong Ping made any small moves at this time, he really did not have to consider the situation in Yongzhou. Giving it away with both hands was equivalent to giving it to Northern Wu.

Xie Xian didn’t know how to blame Emperor Yong Ping. In the past, he looked quite good. Who knew that when he fell into the lake at Yanque Lake, not only did he lose his courage, but his suspicion also became increasingly serious.

He was still young, and his power was not in his hands. If he really held power one day, he would probably kill all these meritorious officials and good generals in his early years.

The reason why Jiang Xia Prince was guarding Yongzhou was because of the complicated situation, but he was also hesitant.

Unfortunately, he was in the middle of the game, so how could his hesitation not be seen by others?

Xie Xian sighed.

Sometimes, people had too many selfish thoughts and lost their shrewdness. It seemed that he had to take this as a warning in the future.

“Quit what?” Xiao Baoxin asked?

Xie Xian came back to his senses.” Decide when it’s time to decide.”

###

In the blink of an eye, it was already September. Finally, there was good news. Northern Wu had retreated.

Yang Shao had made a great contribution. Sikong Xiao had been fighting with North Wu at the front line, and he had been ordered to cross the rear line and burn North Wu’s grain.

Northern Wu had already been fighting hard in this battle, and it was all thanks to the King of Wu’s strength that they were able to hold on.

Now that they had run out of rations and Sikong Xiao had launched a sneak attack on them from both inside and outside, North Wu was completely defeated. Sikong Xiao and Prince Jiang Xia had joined forces to chase after them and beat them to a pulp.

Sikong Xiao took the opportunity to push to the front and back of Tongguan and took down seven or eight cities of Northern Wu.

Emperor Yong Ping finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that his nest was not destroyed and there was a rebellion within.

As for whether or not to continue the pursuit, almost all the people in the court agreed that enough was enough.

Daliang had been fighting for a few years. It could be said that Emperor Yong Ping had been fighting for a few years after he ascended the throne. Daliang’s national treasury was empty and they really could not afford to fight anymore.

Emperor Yong Ping immediately issued an imperial edict.

King Linchuan rebelled. A batch of people died, a batch was cleared, and another batch died in the confrontation with the North Wu Army. Many seats were immediately vacated in Jing and Yong Provinces. Even without Emperor Yong Ping’s statement, the aristocratic families in Jiankang City were almost fighting for it.

Xiao Baoshu could not stay in the Jing and Yong states. Emperor Yong Ping expressed that he could not stand his sister’s words of being an incompetent ruler. That was like poking his lungs.

Although she was his biological sister, it was still a little ear-piercing and heart-wrenching to hear too much.

Moreover, he did not want the Xiao family to have two provincial governors. There had never been such a rule.

Xiao Baoshan was boring and old-fashioned, but he was still stable. After struggling for a few years in Jiang Prefecture, he had built a foundation. It would be harmful to transfer him back at this time. Let him sit comfortably in a high position.
