    As the fire shone, Xiao Yungui's square-shaped face turned red. He moved a piece of tea and sat in front of the brazier, quietly watching the swaying flames without saying a word.  The Queen of the West next to him also had a calm face, staring at the flames in a daze.

    This strange behavior of the Xiwang couple made Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang look at each other. After fighting all the way from Guangxi, Generals Lin and Li had been following the Xiwang in the war. They had never seen the Xiwang look so deep. The two looked at each other.  It's hard to tell at a glance what Xi Wang and Xi Wang Niang are thinking.

    "Have you read the announcement today about killing the demon?" Xiao Yungui finally broke the silence, but he suddenly mentioned the announcement issued by the King of Wings to kill the demon, leaving Lin and Li a little confused.

    Lin Fengxiang said: "His Royal Highness King Yi detailed in the notice the crimes of Luo Bingzhang and Weng Tongjue, the governors of Qingyao. There are thirteen crimes in total. They only resisted the holy soldiers of the kingdom of heaven, burned the official warehouses and put the people in water and fire, forced the people to join the regiment, and harmed the people.  , these are the crimes that deserve death. His Highness King Yi¡¯s announcement denounced Qing Yao¡¯s crimes, which is really satisfying."

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said casually: "Yes, King Yi came to the city the day before yesterday, and the King of Japan ordered him to kill Qing Yao yesterday, but today he was able to collect so many crimes against Qing Yao Luo Bingzhang, and he alone  How was it done?"

    Li Kaifang shook his head and said: "Has the King of the West forgotten? This notice was written by Huang Yukun, the noble father-in-law of King Yi. It was also assisted by Zhang Suimou, Liu Chengfang and others. It was not written by King Yi alone."

    Xiao Yungui hummed, and then said: "Yes, there are three gangs for one good man. King Yi is so lucky. He has many good helpers."

    These words obviously stung Lin and Li. Lin Fengxiang first said angrily: "If the King of the West said this, doesn't it mean that we two brothers are shabby? We, the front army of the West Palace, also have many capable ministers and fierce generals.  .¡±

    Li Kaifang heard that there seemed to be something in Xiao Yungui's words, and frowned: "The King of the West treated us old brothers like brothers, and we fought together from Jintian to Changsha. The younger brother asked himself that his literary talent is not as good as that of the Yidian gang, but the King of the West wants to let  When I go into battle to kill the enemy, I will hit wherever I want, and I will not complain at all."

    Xiao Yungui patted the two of them on the shoulders at the right time and said in a deep voice: "I know that among the generals in the former army, you two are the only ones who think about me the most and are of the same mind as me. But can you be like Yidian?"  Huang Yukun and Zhang Suimou did what they did to King Yi, do they also tell me everything they know and say to me? Tonight, we brothers should speak freely and let no one hide it."

    Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang looked at each other. After a moment of hesitation, Li Kaifang asked tentatively: "Is the King of the West worried about the King of Heaven and the King of the East arriving in Changsha tomorrow?"

    Xiao Yungui didn't say a word. He looked up at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang and asked, "What will happen when the Heavenly King and the Eastern King arrive?"

    Li Kaifang looked at Lin Fengxiang, gritted his teeth and said: "King of the West, the capture of Changsha is the first achievement of the Kingdom of Heaven. We have already sent out the victory documents, but now the Chenzhou Brigade is almost arriving in Changsha. The King of Heaven and the King of the East are only  There were no words of praise. The two younger brothers knew that this was because the Heavenly King and the Eastern King were afraid that the Western King's prestige was too high, so they deliberately suppressed it. After the Chenzhou brigade arrived tomorrow, they were afraid that the Western King would be even more offended. The younger brother was not angry, so he  Nonsense.¡±

    Lin Fengxiang said in a low voice: "King Xi, let me tell you the truth, you are the backbone of my two brothers' hearts. The two younger brothers are even more respectful of the glorious things like King Xi and Brother Tian's possession. But King Xi and  The King of Heaven and the King of East are like brothers, so sometimes even if we see something, we don¡¯t dare to tell nonsense, for fear of ruining the friendship between King of West and King of Heaven and King of East.¡±

    Xiao Yungui was secretly happy in his heart. Sure enough, these two people were extremely loyal to him, but Xiao Chaogui, a big boss, didn't know how to talk to each other, so there was a layer of paper between them. They were also worried about Xiao Chaogui, Hong Xiuquan, and Yang Xiuqing's closeness.  Because of the relationship, I dare not say anything that is taboo.  Seeing that both of them were worried and uneasy after saying what was in their hearts, Xiao Yungui said seriously and sincerely: "For the two brothers to say these words to me with such sincerity, I already understand in my heart, and I also express my sincerity to the two brothers.  He is also regarded as a confidant. Yes, I am indeed worried that the King of Heaven and the King of the East will stab me in the heart, which will also make the brothers in the West Palace angry."

    Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang both breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the King of the West thought the same as the two of them. Li Kaifang pondered: "The King of the West fought for the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere, and every time he led the front army. In which battle is he not the first to charge and take the lead?  Our front army has made outstanding achievements in battle, and the name of King Xi's good fighting skills has spread to the whole army. But it is like this that King Xi will be tabooed by others. After the death of King Nan, it seems that the attitude of King of Heaven and King of East towards King of West has become even more  It¡¯s strange. Take this attack on Changsha as an example. The Chenzhou brigade has 30,000 to 40,000 people, and our former army subordinates also have more than 5,000 people. However, the King of Heaven and the King of the East only let the King of the West lead more than 1,800 people to fight.  The remaining troops of the former army took advantage of the situation and merged into the Chinese army, under the command of Uncle Lai Guo.Got it?  This was a clear attempt to reduce the military power of the Western King.  "

    Xiao Yungui remained silent. He also learned about what Li Kaifang said from King Yi.  The former soldiers and horses that he originally commanded stayed in Chenzhou and were merged into the Chinese Army by King Dong, under the command of Lai Hanying, the wife-uncle of King Hong Xiuquan.  Lai Hanying is the younger brother of Lai Xiying, the wife of the King of Heaven. He has read poetry and books, is proficient in calligraphy, and also studied medicine and knows medical principles. He has been trading in Guangxi for a long time.  After the Jintian uprising, he was awarded the title of internal medicine doctor and held the same position as military commander.  But in early October, the King of the East ordered that the former army of the King of the West be put under the command of Lai Hanying, and Lai Hanying was promoted to the fourth commander on the right side of the palace.

    Lai Hanying was regarded as a close relative of the King of Heaven. Xiao Chaogui had just left, and the remaining three thousand troops of the front army were placed under the command of Lai Hanying. Lai Hanying was promoted because of this. I don¡¯t know what rights the Heavenly King and the East King had in this transaction. Anyway, Xiao  Yungui felt his heart go numb.

    Lin Fengxiang said sadly: "To be honest, King Xi, Kaifang and I talked about this in private, and we both felt a little chilled. Our contribution to conquering Changsha is not as good as Uncle Lai Guo's contribution?" Followed.  He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er, then lowered his head and said: "King Xi, if we had said these words in the past, Kaifang and I would not have dared to say them to you, but now it seems that we have to say them. The Kingdom of Heaven  Someone is squeezing out the King of the West"

    Xiao Yungui said calmly: "Are the people you are talking about referring to the King of Heaven and the King of the East?"

    Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were both slightly startled. They turned to look at Hong Yun'er, but saw that her expression was as usual, as if she already knew about the matter, and they remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

    Xiao Yungui took a deep breath and sighed: "That's why I asked two brothers to discuss this tonight. What should I do now?"

    Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. Hong Yun'er suddenly said: "Brothers, don't worry. King Xi and I are of the same mind. Although we usually quarrel with him, in the face of big right and wrong, I  I listen to him, the two brothers have something to say, but it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±

    Seeing what Hong Yun'er said, Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang were relieved. It would be terrible if what they said tonight reached the ears of the Heavenly King and the East King, but fortunately, both the West King and the West Queen understood the current situation.  The situation, and the two seemed to be different from before, surprisingly consistent.

    At that moment, Li Kaifang pondered: "The King of the West has already made arrangements in advance to seize the dangerous terrain in the south and east of Changsha City. At first, Brother Lin and I were wondering why we had to leave the city in advance to defend the danger as soon as King Yi arrived. It turned out that the King of the West had  We have already prepared for it. As long as we occupy the dangerous position in the south of the city, control the Xiangjiang River Floating Bridge, and march westward to Yuelu Mountain, the troops in the West Palace can advance and retreat freely outside the city. King of the West, I guess you are thinking that if the King of Heaven and King of the East  If the persecution is really severe, then we should go separate ways, right?¡±

    As expected, Lin Fengxiang is still a meticulous person, but Lin Fengxiang seems to have realized it now, and looks at Xiao Yungui with some surprise.

    "If this king has such a plan, what do the two brothers think?" Xiao Yungui took out the cigarette and lit it, frowned and said, "What if I can't leave?"

    Lin Fengxiang clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness the King of the West, I would like to advise you not to leave. Why not just follow the group? I think that the King of Heaven and the King of East may just be wrong for the moment. Maybe there will be a turn for the better when I see the King of Heaven and the King of East tomorrow.  ?¡±

    Xiao Yungui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "What I said to you tonight, I treat you as my close brothers, that's why I said these heart-to-heart words. When the King of Heaven and King of the East see this Queen tomorrow, things may turn around, but in a little while  When will it be? We in the West Palace are always rushing ahead, when will we finish? For the sake of the brothers who follow me, I should think about a way out."

    Li Kaifang glanced at Lin Fengxiang and said: "Brother Lin, the King of the West is right. There are advantages to following the brigade, but there are also disadvantages. Since the breakout of Yong'an, our old brothers in the West Palace have been unable to hold their heads up. Heavenly Father  Aren¡¯t we all just ordinary brothers and sisters? Then why do we in the West Palace always have military exploits, but the rewards are still delayed? If this continues, it¡¯s better to really find other ways. The King of the West is wise and brave, and he has led more than a thousand of us.  Brother Hao can conquer Changsha. Now, including the new army, we have tens of thousands of Hao. Where can we go without killing demons? Even if we give up Changsha, we can still capture another provincial capital."

    Lin Fengxiang frowned and said: "Kaifang, when people try to persuade people to make peace but not break up, why do you always want to separate the family? Although the King of Heaven and the King of the East treat me and other brothers from the West Palace a little bit, we are finally together.  I came from Jintian, is it appropriate to leave the brigade at this time?"

    Xiao Yungui suddenly said: "There is no need to say anything to you two brothers. I have made up my mind. I will tell you all about my future. I can say that I express my sincerity to you two. As long as you two brothers tell the truth to me, will you agree to it?"  Follow me?!"

    Xiao Yungui¡¯s words were harsh and majestic, and he looked at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang with sharp eyes, which shocked the two people. From Xiao Yungui¡¯s perseveranceIn their eyes, the two understood that Xiao Yungui was very determined and could not be refused.

    Li Kaifang first stood up and clasped his fists and said: "King Xi, I will follow you to the death and never regret it!"

    Following Lin Fengxiang, he stood up slowly and said: "King Xi, although I don't agree with leaving now, King Xi has made up his mind. I will follow him to the death through fire and water, in order to maintain the love of our brothers!"

    Xiao Yungui could see that Lin Fengxiang's words were more from the heart, while Li Kaifang was more tactful. He must have realized that he was no longer the Western King who only knew how to fight in the past. He had greater ambitions in his chest, so he simply followed  After all, this will definitely lead to great things.

    At that moment, Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and held the arms of the two of them and said: "Okay, okay, okay. From now on, we brothers will go down the same road, and we will both prosper and suffer!"
