Chapter 777: It’s Too Difficult

Translator: 549690339

When they returned home, they could not hide from the peace and quiet. Their biological grandson could not take it anymore and started shouting and making a fuss.

He was the same age as Xie Nan Xiang, and was also the grandson of the chief. He had always looked down on Xie Nan Xiang. This time, he couldn’t understand why Xie Xian would take a fancy to that kid who cursed his parents to death before he was even born.

“What do I lack? How am I inferior to him?”

Chief Xie’s eyebrows were twisted together in anger. This bearing was obviously not good enough.

“Go, find a hidden place-”

That person shouted so happily that his eyes lit up.” Yes, Grandfather. What are your orders?”

“Take a piss and look at yourself!” Chief Xie raised the walking stick in his hand.”

His grandson walked away with a frown. It was obvious that he was still unconvinced. He was in his teens and was in the prime of his youth. He was usually the grandson of the clan leader and looked down on everyone.

He had some real talent, but compared to Xie Nan, it wasn’t that Chief Xie was belittling his grandson, but he was far from being a match.

If Xie Nanxiang didn’t show mercy to him because of his many years of care, he would have been able to refute his grandson. However, that kid had been pampered by some of the young men in the clan since he was young, and it was impossible to tell his status.

Since Xie Xian had returned to Xiapi, the Xie Clan Leader naturally hoped that he would guide the younger generation of the clan.

It would be best if it was his own disciple. However, even he didn’t care about the person who was clamoring in front of him.

However, choosing Xie Nan Xiang and Xie Shi…

Xie Clan Leader stroked his white beard that reached his chest, his expression solemn.

The Xie family of Chen County was a century-old aristocratic family. Which of their descendants hadn’t been sent to the family school at the age of three and soaked in books all the way?

At the very least, the people he recommended were well-read and knowledgeable people. However, the two that Xie Xian chose, other than having good knowledge, had one thing in common…

Those were people whose parents had died.

Needless to say, when Xie Nan Xiang was born, his mother used her last breath to give birth to him. As for his father, he died of an illness a few days after his marriage.

Xie Shi was also a new filial piety disciple.

With one like this, Xie Clan Leader would not have any doubts. With both like this, it was not difficult to guess Xie Xian’s intentions. This was to guard against the future.

He’s a schemer.” The Xie Clan Leader nodded in gratification. He was more thoughtful than him.

He knocked on his walking stick and went back to his room. In his opinion, the Xie family could not go wrong under Xie Xian’s leadership. Just based on the two people he had chosen, they would definitely have a bright future.

###

Xie Shi and Xie Nan Xiang were both outstanding figures in the clan. They were eloquent and had the arrogance of sons who were scholars. But in front of Xie Xian, he didn’t dare to show it.

Just based on the few questions he asked them, Tian ‘er had only spoken to them for less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

From his voice, it could be heard that he was not a simple person. His knowledge and talent were all immersed in his bones, and he could be brought out just by talking and laughing.

In Xie Nan Xiang’s words, if he and Xie Shi were standing halfway up the mountain, Xie Xian would be a figure among the clouds.

Regardless of whether they were truly talented or had a high social status, they were all people who could not be underestimated.

Xie Xian brought them out and made it clear that he was willing to be a talent, but they had to be a thousand-li horse. Since they were not of the same race, they had to support them without hiding anything.

They also knew that there was someone in the Xie Clan who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them. At the very least, they were not the only ones.

However, Xie Xian didn’t tell them what he wanted them to do or what he expected from them.

The two of them were nervous, but they were as quiet as chickens along the way. They watched Xie Xian play the zither and music from the other side of the boat. Occasionally, he would even make a painting. As the old saying goes, colorful clothes entertain relatives. In their opinion, Xie Xian was most likely entertaining his wife, Lady Xiao. Even across the boat, they could feel that he was being showered with dog food. This wasn’t just a show of affection, it was a show of affection that made one’s nose tingtingle and one’s heart tremble.

Wife, they also have the power of the

However, before he became famous, he could not drag his family to Jiankang City.

Seeing the scene on the boat, he missed his wife even more. The night was as cold as water, and her heart was even colder.

When Xie Xian returned to Jiankang City, he directly brought Xie Shi and Xie Nanxiang back to the Xie residence. He had just changed his clothes when he was blocked at the door by the Rouran envoys.

Zhuge Fu, the son-in-law of Rouran, had officially stepped down. Zhong Shaoqing, who was originally the junior official of the Tingwei, was appointed as the Minister of Justice.

Zhuge Fu was even less helpful than before he became Rouran’s son-in-law. She didn’t even want to meet him.

The envoy of Rouran wanted to see the Emperor. He was busy with government affairs, so he had been waiting.

If this was the first time the envoy had come to Jiankang, he would have accepted it and really believed the emperor’s words. This was not his first time here. He had come with the diplomatic mission once, but at that time, he was only a deputy, and he had been eliminated from the crowd.

But this time, when he returned to Rouran, the people in the diplomatic mission also joined the battle. They fought on their own sides, and some died, some were injured, and some were injured. He was immediately exposed.

Who asked him to have the bloodline of the Central Plains in him? It was rare for him to speak Han in Rouran.

He had originally arrived in Daliang with great ambitions. He thought that since the princess was married to a Daliang citizen, it would be easier to talk to her than before, right? If he could actually take some benefits back, wouldn’t it be easy for him to get promoted and make a fortune in Rouran in the future?

In the end, it was too difficult for him.

What kind of people did they meet?

He knew better than anyone else why the Emperor was dragging him along. Xie Xian wasn’t in Jiankang City, so that little Emperor couldn’t make the decision at all!

What could he do? Rather than sticking to the Emperor, it was better to wait for Xie Xian to return and wait for him.

He arranged for his trusted aides to stay in Black Clothes Alley and keep an eye on the Xie family at all times. In less than a cup of tea’s time, Xie Xian had returned when the envoy received the news and rushed over from the Qin Pavilion without stopping.

Nothing else but flattery, exaggerating Rouran’s role in Daliang’s internal and external troubles, and forcefully restraining Northern Wu.

They only had this little bargaining chip.

Xie Xian sipped his tea unhurriedly and smiled faintly.”! thought we were even with the benefits that we gave to the Seventeenth Prince, the new King of Rouran.”

This sentence made the Rouran envoy choke and unable to speak for a long time.

How merciless.

However, it was indeed the truth.

When Rouran sent out their troops, they had taken advantage of the situation and gained a lot of benefits from Northern Wu. Since they had agreed to Liang’s request, Liang might have given them a lot of benefits. This was killing two birds with one stone.

It was originally a transaction.

Now that both sides had succeeded, it would be a bit unrealistic to glorify the deal and talk about the friendship between the two peoples.

“Daliang and Rouran are thousands of miles apart.” Xie Xian said,

“As far as I know, the new King of Rouran has already married Princess Sixteen of Rouran to Northern Wu, or rather, the King of Eastern Wu after the split, as his imperial concubine. Isn’t it natural to seek the help of Eastern Wu now?”
