Shi Xie put down the letter in his hand and looked at Shi Yi with a frown. Although his expression was serious, he was actually laughing secretly in his heart.

Unlike his stable personality, this younger brother, who is more than ten years younger than him, has a more violent personality and is easily impulsive.

In particular, Shi Yi's experience caused him to not have so much trust in the central government.

Shi Yi was summoned to the imperial court in the past, and when Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the imperial court was in turmoil. Shi Yi got too close to Wu Fu and was almost implicated in his death, so he had no choice but to flee south in panic.

His experience in the capital, as well as his disdain for those who looked kind and cruel, made Shi Yi particularly wary of matters involving the center.

This time when I heard that Pang Degong and others were going south, Shi Yi immediately felt that something was wrong, so he came to discuss with Shi Xie.

Shi Xie looked at his gloomy younger brother, stood up, walked to him, and patted his shoulder: "Brother, you are too careful. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he is generous and upright towards his subordinates.

Excellent, emphasizing friendship, benevolence and fraternity... Letting two great sages go south to lecture on scriptures this time is a testament to the sagacity of Your Majesty. Such wise kings can be said to be rare in a century."

When Shi Yi heard this, the muscles on his face twitched back and forth.

"Brother, today we are also fighting in the north and south. How come a hero who is used to bloody killings has become a benevolent and righteous person in your mouth? He just massacred people in Luoyang a few months ago.

With ten thousand people, how can you say that a person like this is kind?"

"Two different things!" Shi Xie waved his hand impatiently and said: "While you have this time to guess, you all should deal with the matters at hand. Don't get tired of me here! I'm not annoying!"

From beginning to end, Shi Kuang, Shi Yi's son, did not say a word.

When they were young, father and son were kicked out by Shi Xie, but Shi Xie was so angry that he stamped his feet.

"Brother, if you don't listen to good advice, you will be punished by the emperor sooner or later... You, why didn't you join me in trying to persuade your uncle just now!"

Shi Kuang felt aggrieved when his father scolded him.

"Sir, you can't stop trying to persuade my uncle. I'm a soft-spoken person. What's the use of saying more and less?"

Shi Yi let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Sir, if my uncle doesn't listen... why don't you go find your brother? As your legitimate son, and the leader of the next generation in our family, my brother may be able to persuade my uncle to be careful."

Shi Yi sighed: "As of now, it can only be like this."

At that moment, the two fathers and sons went together to meet Shi Xie's legitimate son, Shi Hui.

As the eldest son of Shi Xie, Shi Hui was undoubtedly the heir to Jiaozhi and the father-in-law of the next generation of the Shi family.

Shi Xie was a man without ambitions, but Shi Hui was different from Shi Xie. He was middle-aged, ambitious, and eager for power. When Huang Xu Pingnan was at the beginning, Shi Hui was an absolute hawk in Jiaozhou and encouraged Jiaozhou to concentrate all its military power.

Fight against Huang Xu and protect the sovereignty of Jiaozhou no matter what.

But in the end, Shi Xie surrendered regardless of Shi Hui's opinions.

Shi Hui was not convinced by Shi Xie's opinions, but the main power in Jiaozhou still fell into Shi Xie's hands, and Shi Hui's opinions could not influence Shi Xie.

In the end, Jiaozhou surrendered to Liu Qi.

Except for Jiaozhi, all the other counties in Jiaozhou were divided by Liu Qi and new county guards were sent to serve, which greatly reduced the power of the Shi family in Jiaozhou.

Shi Xie didn't care about this, but as the eldest son of the Shi family, Shi Hui lived in pain every day.

In his opinion, his father is a coward.

A coward who gave up his power and hegemony and tried to survive under Liu Qi's command.

But even so, Shi Hui had nothing to do. He could only watch helplessly as Shi Xie took the hegemony that he was supposed to inherit in exchange for the so-called 'destination'.

But now, Shi Yi came to see Shi Hui and told him what he and Shi Xie had said about Huang Xu entering Jiaozhou.

After hearing this, Shi Hui did not express his position immediately, but unlike Shi Xie, he was wary of Huang Xu and others.

"You are so good, why are you going to Jiaozhi to lecture on Buddhist scriptures? You are also promoting paper books here. People in this place can't even speak Chinese, so why do you want to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

Shi Yi said with certainty: "That's right. I also suspect there is fraud in this. It's just your father's side. No matter how I tell him, it doesn't make sense!"

Shi Hui snorted and said, "Don't worry about father. Uncle, just keep an eye on this matter carefully and see what Huang Xu does after arriving in Jiaozhi. It won't be too late for us to make a final conclusion."

…

Ten days later, a group of Jingzhou people headed by Huang Xu, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others arrived in Jiaozhi.

At this time, Shi Xie was fully prepared to welcome them in Jiaozhi and was waiting for them to enter the city.

However, what is puzzling is that Huang Xu and others did not continue southward into Jiaozhi City. For some unknown reason, a group of people from Jingzhou camped at the Red River instead.

Later, Huang Xu ordered people to go to Jiaozhi to invite Shi Xie to the Honghe camp to discuss the specific matters of the next lecture.

Shi Xie originally planned to go there in person, but Shi Yi refused to agree to anything.

"Brother, if Huang Xu has something to discuss with my brother, just ask him to come to our city. It's all right. Why did he set up camp in Honghe and then invite my brother to go? This is obviously a conspiracy. My brother must not go."

Shi Xie shook his head and said: "I'm confused. We only have the troops of one county now, and we have no power to mobilize a state. If Huang Fujun wants to attack us, he can just send troops to attack Jiaozhi. Why bother? What you said is true.

It’s a villain’s heart.”

Shi Yi secretly thought to himself whether his brother was old and confused. How could such a shrewd person be so confused on such a big matter?

"Brother, think twice! If you go there easily, you may be tricked by Huang Xu."

Shi Xie shook his head angrily and said, "Asshole, what are your intentions in sowing discord between me and the court?"

At this moment, Shi Hui stood up and said to Shi Xie: "Sir, how about letting me go to the Red River on your behalf?"

Shi Xie turned to look at Shi Hui in surprise.

"you?"

"Yes, as the Lord of Jiaozhi, you must not move lightly, and as the legitimate son of the scholar family, I can go there on your behalf, which will naturally dispel Huang Xu's doubts. In this way, you don't have to go in person, and you can also put an end to Huang Xu's doubts.

how?"

Shi Xie stroked his beard and said, "This is a way. You can go ahead. If there is anything important, just write it down and then come back with a letter to tell your father. He should think carefully about it."

Shi Hui immediately took the order.

After everyone left, Shi Xie looked at the entrance to the hall where Shi Hui left, thoughtfully.

After a while, a young man came in. After bowing, he came to Shi Xie's side.

"grown ups."

The visitor is Shi Xie’s other son, Shi Qian.

"Coming?" Shi Xie said calmly without looking at him.

Shiqian said doubtfully: "My lord, before I came here, I met my brother. I heard from my brother that his father planned to let him go to Honghe to see Mr. Huang... Your Excellency also knows that my brother has always had a grudge against the imperial court.

I asked my brother to go, but if one of his mistakes is wrong and the situation falls into the hands of Huang Xu, what will your lord tell the court in the future?"

Shi Xie smiled faintly, shook his head and said nothing.

But he was muttering silently in his heart...

"Child, you don't understand this... His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to eliminate the hidden dangers in the world, and my father also wants to take this opportunity to find out the hidden dangers of the scholar family. As my father is old, he might leave one day. After leaving,
