Zhongzhao, Songzhou, Xiaba city.

"Cough, cough -"

One cough after another overflowed from his throat. Nie Liang wanted to endure it again. Unexpectedly, a fishy smell surged up, causing bouts of nausea.

He covered his mouth with a veil and coughed heavily.

When he took the veil away, the snow-white veil had been stained with a dazzling black and red blood.

He was looking at the pool of blood and was stunned. At the tip of his ear, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor. The visitor was leaning towards him from far to near.

Nie Liang subconsciously clutched his handkerchief tightly into his sleeve and lay back.

"Come in."

Nie Liang secretly wiped away the residual blood stains on the corners of his mouth. The waiting maids outside the house poured in and served him to wash and change clothes.

With the simple breakfast, the maid brought up the dark medicine juice for a night, and she could smell the unspeakable smell all the way.

Nie Liang was afraid of suffering, but he knew he had to rely on these drugs to hang his life, so he had to squeeze his nose and pour it down.

"Zishun has come to point Mao?"

Nie Liang's complexion was not very good. His eyes were slightly sunken, and his dark circles made him look very tired and listless.

The maid said, "the guard was waiting outside a quarter of an hour ago. In order not to disturb the master, no one sent a message."

Nie Liang and Wei Ying are not only the relationship between the Lord and the minister, but also close friends and private friends.

Knowing that Nie Liang is in a bad situation, Wei Zhu wants to pack all the beds to take care of Nie Liang.

Nie Liang nodded and casually found an excuse to send the maid off.

After taking the people away, Nie Liangcai got up, took a lamp from one side and burned the bloody handkerchief with a fire.

His body was clear to him. It looked good on the surface, but in fact it was strong outside and weak in the middle. He didn't know how long he could last.

But——

Nie Liang's eyes crossed a cold light.

No matter how long he can hold on, he will have to endure to death master Nie.

If he died, the grandfather would not fully support Nie Liang's son and would most likely hand over Nie Liang's family business to his brothers of the same generation. Nie Liang knew what happened to Nie. If Nie Liang's son can't be in power, the orphan and widowed mother will have to die.

"See Lord."

Wei Xuan sat patiently and waited for Nie Liang for a long time. The other party's footsteps were vain and still looked sick.

"You and I still use so many gifts?" Nie Liang said with a smile, "why did you come so early today?"

"I received several secret letters yesterday. I should have given them to the Lord early, but it was late at night. I didn't dare disturb the Lord's dream. I had to come earlier this morning." After that, Wei Fu handed several letters to Nie Liang, "one from Dongqing and one from the old man."

Dongqing?

"Could it be that what moth did Liu Xi make?"

As he spoke, he opened the lacquer with his slender fingers and took out the secret letter.

"Really a restless woman." After reading ten lines at a glance, Nie Liang said with emotion, "why don't you worry about prosperity when there are women in the Liu family?"

Wei reminded, "Liu Xi and Huang song unilaterally declared their independence before the war."

In other words, Liu could not take half a dime from Jiang Pengji.

Thinking about it, I also sympathize with Liu Shi. If Liu Xi's heart is towards Liu Shi, he won't worry about the prosperity in the next hundred years.

"Liu Xi is a great woman. However, Liu's chicken nest can't keep other people's Phoenix." Nie Liang said blandly, "she is used to looking for things. Now it's only more than a year since the expedition against Huang song. She can't help rubbing her hands against Nansheng. She's not afraid to choke."

Wei Wei was surprised that the content of the secret letter was actually this?

So——

"Nansheng allies won?"

Nie Liangdao said, "according to the informant's reply, Nansheng's allies won miserably. Can there be any news about Nansheng in recent days?"

Wei replied, "a batch of new ones have just come back recently."

Nie Liang's throat was itchy. He endured it for a while before he pressed down the urge to cough. He didn't want to cough and bleed in front of Wei.

"Go and get all that."

After sending Wei Yu away, Nie Liang coughed stiffly with his handkerchief covered. This time, it was OK. There was no blood on it.

Before long, Wei came over with a pile of letters. Nie Liang looked at them one by one according to the time mark.

Because Nansheng and zhongzhao are far apart, the news is transmitted once every half a month, which has a strong lag.

For example, the content in Nie Liang's hands is actually old news more than a month ago.

With these old news, combined with the news of Dongqing, Nie Liang also roughly found out the situation of Nansheng.

After reading it, Nie Liang said with a smile, "she really picked a good time. Nansheng is bound to win..."

Nansheng's troops are empty, but Jiang Pengji has been well cultivated for more than a year. It is at a time of high morale that she can set out for nanshanda.

They walked slowly to the map of Kun and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers on the map, but Nie Liang felt desolate.

Wei Wei said, "Liu Xi's next goal is Yang Tao."

Beat Yang Taolun to get an Xun.

The longer Yang Tao carries it, the more time ANN can have to recuperate and recover.

Nie Liangdao said, "looking at the history of Yang Tao's fortune in Nansheng, he... Or the people around him don't like to wait for death. Most of them have to work hard to survive in a desperate situation. Zishun, guess what Yang Tao has to do to revitalize the whole chess face?"

Wei Hui thought for a moment.

"Yang Tao's family alone is not Liu Xi's opponent. Don't say a year, but half a year. There is only one way to live!" Wei Xuan said, "Yang Tao has just finished his cooperation with an Xuan. Most of the latter's actions will not be involved in this scuffle. It's possible to hide behind and be a yellow finch. If Yang Tao wants to deal with Liu Xi, he will probably choose to send someone to persuade the Lord to form an alliance?"

After all, there are only a few neighboring enemies around Jiang Pengji.

Nie Liangdao, "mostly so."

Wei Wei said, "if Yang Tao really sends someone over, will the Lord respond?"

Nie Liang sighed, "I still have a choice? Letting Liu Xi grow up is just a big trouble for myself. While she hasn't completely grown up, it's better to try to nip it in the bud. If Yang Tao sends someone over, the alliance must respond."

Wei Ying nodded and agreed with Nie Liang.

However, Wei Wei never thought that Nie Liang was also arranging things behind him.

After finishing the first secret letter, Nie Liang opened the second secret letter, which was sent by his grandfather.

The letter didn't write a few words. You can read it at a glance.

Wei Xuan asked nervously, "what's the old man's instruction?"

Nie Liangdao said, "my grandfather still doesn't agree. He said that Dalang's grade is too young to be a successor so early."

Hearing that his complexion was green, Wei Ying gritted his teeth and said, "old master, is this sincere to make the Lord unhappy?"

Nie Liang lowered his eyes and said, "my grandfather has been powerful all his life, but he was elevated by his grandson in his twilight years. I must be uncomfortable."

As the leading family in the imperial edict, Nie's background is not comparable to that of ordinary scholars.

However, the big family has a lot of shit, and there is also a disgusting power struggle under the seemingly calm lake.
