NOVEL WEB Chapter 184: Diverting Conflicts
After saying this, her father vaguely mentioned in the letter that he had bribed an escort and asked him to see if there was a chance to get rid of Xie Zhan on the road.
Lu Songli saw this with a smile in her eyes. As expected of her father, he wanted to go with her.
Later, her father regretfully told her that it was a pity.
Lu Songli was not surprised. This Xie Zhan was the male protagonist in the original book. He was probably lucky enough to not be killed so easily.
Her father said that the bailiff returned the money and said that he could not do what he had promised.
But it was not without gain. Because the other party broke their promise, they decided to send them some free information as compensation.
The other party first told them that many members of the Xie and Zhao family had died from being imprisoned to being exiled, including elderly people over forty-five years old and children under five years old, leaving only a few.
Lu Songli clicked her tongue twice, Xie and Zhao's family were about to fall apart. This fault is not harmful now, but Xie Zhan will know how powerful it will be later.
In addition, the other party said that Xie Zhan was so terrible. There were about 20 official members along the way, and he divided them into several small groups based on his calculations. Those who were malicious and disobedient to the Xie and Zhao families were all killed. .
Until he wrote this letter, two officers had died, and four or five officers had died. The cause of death was inexplicable, unexpected and sudden.
This trip was the most thrilling in his career. There were more than 20 officers and guards escorting the prisoners on their trip, and one-third of them died! The number of deaths is likely to continue to rise, which is too dangerous. After returning safely this time, he would move to another position and never work as an escort again.
Qin Heng and Qin Zhao were surprised when they heard such heavy casualties.
Before they could speak, Qin Sheng said the last thing written in his father-in-law's letter.
Finally, the father-in-law said in the letter that the officer also told them that the Xie and Zhao clans now hate their Lu family so much that they should be careful.
After saying this, Qin Sheng pulled Lu Songli away.
Qin Heng and Qin Zhao looked at each other, their scalps numb as they thought about the huge casualties suffered by the Xie and Zhao families.
Without the reminder from the sixth brother and sister at the beginning and her layer-by-layer arrangements later, the miserable current situation of the Xie and Zhao families would have been a reflection of them.
Look, Xie Zhan, such a powerful person, let so many elderly people over forty-five years old and children under five years old die during his exile.
The weather was so bad when they first left Chang'an City. Not to mention the elderly and children, the grown men couldn't stand wearing shabby but thick clothes. And they still went north.
Qin Zhao thought to himself and said, "My wife had just given birth to a baby. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on while in Dali Prison." Prisons are usually cold, damp, dirty and messy. They had people from the Lu family helping them take care of things, so they didn't suffer like that.
"And my third child was just born..."
A mother is at her weakest right after giving birth, and they all know how easy it is for a newborn baby to die.
Qin Zhao had a premonition that without the warning from her sixth brother and sister and the corresponding preparations she had made, his wife and the third child would probably be dead.
Qin Heng rubbed his eyebrows and said, "And mother——"
Qin's mother's body could not withstand the pain and sin of the long journey.
So, will the remaining children of Qin Jia, Qin Han, Qin Yu, and Qin Zhen be able to reach the place of exile alive?
"No, no, no, brother, you have forgotten that in the prison, when Wu Chunyu wanted to torture us to extract confessions, if the sixth brother and sister hadn't come up with the gold medal to avoid death..."
If the other party uses their children and women to force them to submit, they will be captured without mercy. By then, all three of their brothers have been tortured and will be unable to take care of their families. They may even need their families to take care of them in turn. Thinking about this, their scalps are numb, and their family is old, weak, sick and disabled. It couldn't be any more miserable, right?
The two brothers looked at each other. They owed the sixth brother and sister a lot for their kindness.
Qin Heng: "A Sheng is truly lucky to marry his sixth brother and sister."
Qin Zhao: "Xiao Liu, you have to treat your sixth brother and sister well. It's best not to have any trouble in this life." If he dares to treat the sixth brother and sister in the future, don't blame them brothers for not caring about brotherhood.
Qin Heng nodded. No matter what, the old Qin family could not let the six younger siblings suffer. But he saw that the young couple had a good relationship.
"Lao San, what do you think of Ah Sheng's last sentence just now?" Qin Heng asked.
"The Xie and Zhao families must regard the sixth brother and sister as their number one enemies."
Qin Heng nodded, with such deep hatred, the two sides were afraid that they would fight to the death. Xie Zhan was really a ruthless man. He killed less than half of the escort team of more than 20 people.
It was also because of the Qin family that the sixth brother and sister took action. If there was a chance, we had to get rid of this person. It would be best to uproot the Xie and Zhao families.
It's just that now the two sides are one south and the other north. Even if they have the intention, they are beyond their reach. Wait a moment,
Qin Sheng took Lu Songli's hand to the river. The place where they are currently stationed is either right next to a village or somewhere with a river or a lake to facilitate their access to water.
Qin Sheng's brows were knitted tightly, and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
Lu Songli could tell that he was angry, "What's wrong?"
Qin Sheng suppressed his words, "Xie Zhan is shameless." In this whole thing, she was the most innocent one. How could Xie Zhan have the nerve to put all the blame on her alone?
Qin Sheng found it incredible that a grown man could not do anything he dared to do.
Lv Songli raised her eyebrows and smiled as she watched him defending her. She knew he was talking about the fact that the Xie and Zhao clans hated their Lu family and that Lu Songli hated her to death.
Is Xie Zhan shameless? Indeed, at the critical moment of the family's survival, the face of the head of the family is not that important.
"He may not think so in his mind."
Qin Sheng heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at her accusingly, I defend you, and you still speak for him?
Lv Songli laughed, "Xie Zhan did this to make the whole family hate me and the Lu family. The purpose is to make the family members united against the outside world and avoid internal fighting and internal consumption."
In the eyes of smart people, almost every move of the opponent is a clear move, abandoning the interference of fancy things and directly seeing the other party's truest purpose.
Do the Xie and Zhao families hate her? Of course they hate her. Xie Zhan's actions have strengthened their hatred.
In fact, Lv Songli could understand Xie Zhan's intention. In "Shangjunshu: Get Rid of the Strong", it is written: If a country is strong but does not fight, it will be poisoned internally. If the officials of rituals and music are corrupted, they must be cut down. If a country goes to war, it will be poisoned by the enemy. If a country has no officials of rituals and music, it will be strong.
The meaning of "strong" in "get rid of the strong" is that the people do not listen to the government's orders.
The meaning is probably that it is not terrible for a country to have internal contradictions. We just need to transfer the contradictions. If the poison is lost to the enemy, the country will become strong.
Similarly, it is not terrible for a family to have contradictions. Transfer the contradictions. We should not fight and consume internally, but unite to face the outside world, conquer cities and territories, and after defeating the enemy, we will receive the enemy's resources, and all internal problems can be solved or alleviated.
Xie Zhan is asking the Xie and Zhao families to regard the Lv family or her side as an imaginary enemy or anchoring target.
But it also makes Lv Songli see that the contradictions and problems within the Xie family are not small.
"He actually has this purpose? He is so insidious." After listening to her analysis, Qin Sheng thought and studied seriously, trying to apply it to the military.
Lv Songli smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about him, I'll deal with it later when I have time."
When there is a suitable opportunity, she will manually increase the difficulty of the dungeon for them, otherwise it will be unfair for them to treat her as the dungeon boss to promote this goal.
The clans in the south are numerous, the forces are complicated and very xenophobic. She estimated that Xie Zhan would eventually let the marriageable clansmen of the Xie and Zhao clans marry with the local forces to speed up the integration.
Lv Songli thought that if Xie Zhan did not personally join the game, it would be difficult to get the full support of the local forces. After all, others are not stupid, and they may act without seeing the rabbit. Let's see what he does. When necessary, she can help him. Who made her learn from Lei Feng's spirit deeply rooted in her bones?
