After instructing his subordinates to carry the unconscious Gu Yuexi back to the inner room to rest, Xia Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and before he could rejoice, he saw Xu Yuan walking in from outside the house with a smile.

"This time, thanks to Brother Taifu's advance notice," Xia Fan looked at Gu Yuexi's distant figure, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, I would really have to fold it in the hands of this yellow-haired girl!" ”

"Hey," Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, disapprovingly, "We are grasshoppers tied to a rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost, how can we say thank you?" ”

Saying that, Xu Yuan's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were rather cold and asked, "What are you going to do with her?" ”

"Hey......"

Xia Fan let out a long breath, how to deal with Gu Yuexi's tricky hot potato is really an extremely headache, and he can't kill it, he can't keep it, and he can't let it go

Then he turned his back to the sky and thought for a long time, "Whether it is killed, kept or released now, it will bring unnecessary trouble!" ”

Xu Yuan saw that he was in trouble left and right, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice, "That Wang Ze's five hundred military horses have been ambushed outside the city, and one more day of this woman's stay will be a disaster for one more day!" ”

"Fuck it!" The more Xia Fan thought about it, the more angry he became, his face turned red, his hands crossed his waist, and he scolded in a low voice, "With only five hundred military horses and this little girl, you dare to be my enemy!" Lao Tzu will rectify the military horses, take advantage of their unstable foothold at the moment, and go directly out of the city to destroy them! ”

"Now is not the time to go to war with them!" Seeing that Xia Fan wanted to leave, Xu Yuan hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes and stopped, "This Feng Tai and Your Majesty are all watching in the dark, and Helu must not be reckless and impulsive!" ”

"So what do you say?" Xia Fan glared at Xu Yuan hatefully, and said angrily, "We have poked such a big hole, can Your Majesty and Feng Tai really agree to our request?" If not, won't we just sit back and wait for death? ”

Since doing this, Xia Fan has been sleepless and frightened every day. Especially after not receiving a reply from the emperor and Feng Tai for several days, it made him even more panicked and anxious.

As for Xu Yuan, he was also at a loss in his heart, and the development and situation of things were contrary to his expectations. In the past few days, he wanted to find Lin Xiong to inquire about the news of the imperial court, but he was repeatedly rejected on the grounds of "ill health", and Xu Yuan had long been as frightened as falling into an ice cave.

In this regard, Xu Yuan could only stubbornly persuade him, "What do we want to do so much after we have done everything!" In order to alleviate the pressure of the situation, and to divert Xia Fan's anxiety in this matter, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a fierce light, gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, since we have all done this, we simply don't do anything - the direct result is Han Xiaozhi!" When the time comes, they can't help but disagree! ”

"We ...... Kill ......" Xia Fan almost shouted in disbelief, and immediately lowered his voice and scolded, "You can't be crazy!" We went into the city to assassinate that six-rank petty official before, and we had already aroused the vigilance of many parties and almost had an accident! Now he has to murder another great general...... Once the East Window incident happens, won't we become the target of public criticism! ”

After hearing this, Xu Yuan chuckled, "Why do we need to do such a big thing ourselves?" ”

Seeing that Xia Fan was puzzled, Xu Yuan raised his chin and snickered at the inner room, "Isn't there her?" Since she already knows that Han Xiaozhi has a deep blood feud with her, why not use her to get rid of Han Xiaozhi for us? ”

Xia Fan was overjoyed, patted Xu Yuan's shoulder and praised again and again, "Taifu is really resourceful, and he is really a capable man given to me by God!" It's just that Han Xiaozhi is called 'unpredictable' by the world, and it may be difficult to get it with that yellow-haired girl alone......"

Being praised and praised by Xia Fan like this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but raise his head complacently, "There is no need to panic with Helu, there are ready-made people to help right now......"

Before Xu Yuan finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a rush of footsteps, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and whispered to Xia Fan, "The manpower is here!" ”

The person who came was the general of the guard leader brought by Xia Fan from the Song State - He Jin (Zi Wenfu).

When He Jin heard the news of the arrival of the "Princess Pingtai", he rushed from the army before he had time to untie his armor and saber.

As soon as he stepped into the house with his saber, he couldn't wait to ask, "Da Taishou, where is Her Royal Highness the princess now?" ”

Xia Fan and Xu Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and then said to him, "Her Royal Highness the princess has just returned to the house to rest, Brother Wenfu must not make such a loud noise. ”

After hearing this, He Jin realized that he had lost his temper, nodded heavily, carefully straightened up, tried not to let the armor and saber make a slight sound, and asked in a low voice, "Is the princess okay all these years?" ”

"Brother Wenfu is driving just right, I have something to discuss with you."

After Xia Fan beckoned He Jin to sit down, he deliberately added fuel and vinegar to the ins and outs of the matter, and during this period, he burst into tears several times when he fell in love, and he couldn't cry. He Jin couldn't bear to say what he said, especially for assisting Gu Yuexi to assassinate Han Yu in Beijing, He Jin gritted his teeth and agreed, and he couldn't wait to peel his skin and bones immediately.

"I wonder when the last will accompany the princess to Beijing?" He Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to ask for an order to go right now.

"This ......" Xia Fan's face was a little difficult, and he secretly looked at Xu Yuan, who was silent on the side, and replied hesitantly, "......What about this?"

"I'll speak for the Great Taishou!" Xu Yuan understood Xia Fan's thoughts, and interjected, "Han Xiaozhi's guy is very hateful, taking advantage of the princess's ignorance and kindness, and tricking her into leading Wang Ze to lead five hundred troops and horses to suppress the border, in an attempt to make you Song people kill each other!" ”

"Hateful! Hateful! He Jinqi slapped the table case and shouted, "A thousand knives can't repay the blood debt committed against my Song Kingdom back then!" ”

"The general doesn't need to be angry," Xu Yuan was already overjoyed in his heart, but he tried to restrain himself on his face, "I have a perfect plan to enable the princess to get lost and return to the world, and to slash such a heinous dog thief for the people of the Song Kingdom!" ”

As soon as He Jin heard that he had a clever plan, he hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Mr. Xu, please speak!" ”

Xu Yuan chuckled, "After the princess wakes up, the general can go with the eldest Taishou to testify, just as an official of the Song family back then, Han Xiaozhi not only assisted Bai Ang in destroying the Song Dynasty, but also personally waved his army to accumulate troops on the border of the Song State, and prevented Yang An and his son from returning to the army to rescue with the promise of establishing the country!" ”

"Of course, this is fine!"

He Jingang nodded in agreement, but Xu Yuan then added slowly, "Not only that, but the general also needs to prove that after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, Han Xiaozhi and Bai Ang imprisoned the people of the Song Kingdom and the royal bloodline as slaves and sold them to the Xu Kingdom!" ”

"This ......" He Jin instinctively resisted this request, "The things that were sold as slaves back then were all from Bai Ang's hands, and Han Xiaozhi never participated, and he didn't even know about it!" So to speak...... Isn't it like planting a blame? It's not a gentleman's doing! ”

Seeing that he didn't agree, Xu Yuan was not in a hurry, but leaned back on the back of the chair and said with a smile, "The general cares so much about his personal reputation, has he forgotten those innocent soldiers and civilians of the Song State who died in vain?" ”

These words were like a knife, piercing He Jin's heart with hatred, and he couldn't help but feel sad and said, "I don't cherish my reputation...... It's really a traitor...... I'm even more afraid that it will insult the name of the Song family! ”

Seeing He Jin's hesitation, Xia Fan also followed and explained, "We have been waiting for a long time to survive until now, in order to be able to avenge the shame of the Song people!" Now that the opportunity is in front of you, you are so forward-looking and resigned! What face does he have under Jiuquan to face the old folks of the Song Kingdom? ”

When He Jin heard this, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, his red eyes clenched his fists and trembled, as if he was making a final struggle. Xu Yuan immediately followed up, "If you can get rid of Han Xiaozhi through this, you can not only take revenge, but also have a chance to revive the Song Kingdom!" The opportunity is in front of him, how can the general miss it in vain? ”

He Jin clenched his fists, buried his head and thought for a long time, and finally slapped the table suddenly, "For the sake of Song Guo, the last general is willing to do whatever it takes!" But listen to the horse master! ”

Xia Fan immediately laughed, patted He Jin's hand and said, "I, Xia Helu, swear to the general here, if I can't revive the Song Kingdom in this life, but if I can't break my bones and scatter ashes, I won't die!" ”

After hearing this, He Jin suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xia Fan, and said in a hoarse tone, "Dozens of people including me have been treated well by the Song State, and it is a shame for a lifetime to fail to sacrifice one's life to martyrdom on the day the city is broken!" Thanks to the master of the horse for not giving up, we have survived to this day. Now that I am fortunate to be able to help the Song family return to the country, we will also go to the soup and the fire! ”

In the face of He Jin's sincere gratitude, Xia Fan was stunned, and hurriedly bent down, "General, where is this, please get up quickly!" ”

After helping He Jin up, Xia Fan showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "I was originally a concubine of the Song Kingdom, and my kindness to the Song Kingdom is no different from that of the general. We are all Song people, committed to living in this Xu country, although we are nominally up and down, but in fact we are like brothers! Where, then, is there a division between one another? ”

He Jin's words are affectionate and thoughtful, and there is no trace of insincerity. He Jin wiped his tears and nodded, and retired with confidence.

Looking at He Jin's back, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Da Taishou's acting skills are really perfect, if I didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid I would have been deceived." ”

Hearing the sarcasm in Xu Yuan's words, Xia Fan said with a smile, "Do you really think that I can't act?" ”

"Oh?" Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing, looked at Xia Fan's thoughtful appearance, shook his head and smiled, "Helu, Helu, Helu, how can you be willing to be subservient to others?" What's more, it's the Song family, which has long since died! ”

"Then ......" Xia Fan looked out of the house and said faintly, "What about them...... What about these Song people like me......"

"You can't really have real feelings, do you?" Xu Yuan felt incredible, and said with a smile, "They are all remnants of the previous dynasty, and keeping them will only ruin your and my big things!" ”

"I know this......" Xia Fan sighed, a little reluctant to mutter, "But we are all Song people after all......"

"So what?" Xu Yuan sneered, then patted Xia Fan's back heavily, and said sharply, "If the eldest husband wants to make contributions and become famous in this troubled era, he must learn to be ruthless!" If you can't do this, you can only deserve to be slaughtered by mermaids! ”
