Chapter 358: Smooth

There was a dart in the room, and soon An Xiabai told the two guards, shocked, they decided to investigate thoroughly, and finally found the suspect in a room of the inn, originally the two guards wanted to capture people alive and ask who was behind the scenes, but unfortunately the other party had already taken precautions, and left the inn in a hurry after finding that his whereabouts were exposed.

The two guards went to chase after each other, but they didn't catch up.

When they returned, they began to doubt their lives, and both of them had self-reproach on their faces.

"We were ordered by the general to protect our wife, but we let our wife encounter such danger, it is really a dereliction of duty, and we ask our wife to punish us!"

Looking at the two serious young men in front of her, the corners of An Xia's white lips hooked a faint smile, she helped both of them up from the ground, and said with a gentle expression: "Since those people were able to approach us unknowingly, and later escaped under the joint pursuit of the two of you, it shows that they had a premeditated plan, and they are also very familiar with Luoyang City, just with these two points, it is normal for you to not catch people." ”

"But—" One of the guards wanted to say something more.

Before he could say anything, An Xiabai laughed and silenced him.

"This is not the time to discuss who is responsible and who should be punished, the most important thing we should be thinking about now is what the next step should be."

The guards glanced at each other and said in unison, "Obey Madame's orders." ”

An Xiabai nodded with satisfaction, in fact, when the two guards chased them out to arrest people just now, An Xiabai had already thought about what to do next: "Let's leave Luoyang City first, and then make plans after returning to Lingcheng." ”

As soon as these words came out, the guards were stunned.

None of them could believe that the next step in An Xiabai's mouth turned out to be this road!

These days, An Xiabai's gentle persuasion and persuasion to Yang Xiao to return to the barracks, they have all seen it clearly, they have worked hard for so long, and now there is finally a glimmer of light, is An Xiabai willing to give up? They didn't understand this.

"Madam, if we leave Luoyang City, what will Miss Yang Xiao do?"

An Xia Bai thought for a while, sighed and said, "I'll come back later." ”

Yang Xiao has not yet recovered from the blow of losing a leg and being a lame person for the rest of her life, at this time, An Xiabai feels that she needs time and space more than someone constantly dangling in front of him.

People who are too sensitive, even if they say a word unintentionally, can turn into a sharp knife!

An Xiabai didn't want to push too hard, so she decided to leave.

"We'll be back in the future."

After the two guards saw the expression on An Xiabai's face at this time, they knew that it was useless for them to say anything, so they no longer persuaded him, but just asked An Xiabai in a low voice if there was anything to send to Yang Xiao.

An Xiabai thought about it, turned around and went back to the room to write a letter.

It was a farewell letter, because Yang Xiao was always her own person in her eyes, so An Xiabai had no scruples when she wrote the letter, and directly explained the reason, and also said that she was on the ground, and if she didn't leave, she was afraid that she would have to worry about her life, she felt that Yang Xiao would definitely be able to understand her feelings after seeing this letter, so she didn't leave a word, and after letting the shopkeeper go to Yang's house to deliver the letter, she left Luoyang City with two guards.

When the letterhead was delivered to Yang Xiao, she was changing the dressing for the wound on her leg, and when she heard the news that An Xia Bai had taken someone to leave Luoyang, her hand shook, and the medicine bottle in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Yang Yi, who was standing next to him, saw this situation, and took Yang Xiao's hand in distress and said, "Be careful, how did you get this surprise?" ”

Yang Xiao nodded with a complicated expression.

In the end, I still didn't ask An Xiabai why he left Luoyang City.

Yang Yi stood in place and looked at her stunned for a long time, and finally sighed and shook his head: "This letter was handed over by Mrs. Lu before she left Luoyang, saying that it was for you, you can take a look, I still have something to do, go back first." ”

Yang Xiao agreed softly.

She stood quietly in place with her letterhead in her hand for a long time.

If someone pushes the door in from outside at this time, they must be able to clearly see the loneliness on her face.

At the same time, people who reacted to An Xiabai's departure like Yang Xiao also included Feng Bailin, since he learned that An Xiabai had come to Luoyang City, Feng Bailin had been staring at her every day, and there was only one purpose for doing so, that is, to find an opportunity to get close to An Xiabai, and then attack her.

Feng Bailin, who was silently waiting for the opportunity to come, never expected that the time did not wait, but what he was waiting for was the news that An Xiabai had left Luoyang City!

Is it going to be all the work that has been done here for the past month?

Feng Bailin was a little unwilling, so he decided to take a gamble, he wanted to use the only person in his hands to kill An Xiabai, preferably before An Xiabai returned to the Lingcheng realm!

But how many people he sent out, how many people rushed back.

Feng Bailin was a little annoyed, and all the tea cup letters in his hand were swept to the ground by him: "What did you do when you came back, have you completed the task you were ordered to do?" ”

A few subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, and it took a long time for someone to stand up and reply.

"Your Highness, our plan has failed."

Feng Bailin was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, I have to say that these subordinates he raised are really more individual than the other, there was a little scholar plan that failed before, and then there were guards who failed to pursue but were still arrogant, did they really think that they raised them to do good deeds?

"The plan failed, what are you going to do when you come back?"

Several of his subordinates looked at the floor with complicated expressions, and it took a long time before they spoke.

"Master, it's not that we don't want to do it, but we can't do it, the person who was supposed to be guarding Lingcheng suddenly appeared outside Luoyang City for some reason, and he also brought a lot of people, we really don't dare to do it."

"Who?" Feng Bailin couldn't even remember who they were talking about for a while, until his cronies whispered the other party's name.

"Lu Li is here."

Feng Bailin's face changed again.

He knew that An Xiabai and Lu Li had a deep relationship, but he never imagined that the relationship between them would be so deep!

Now it's a time of war, Lu Li came out of Lingcheng, isn't he afraid of dying here?

If it weren't for the fact that Xiong Qianshui couldn't be contacted, Feng Bailin really wanted him to send troops directly to beat Luoyang City.

The plans that have been prepared several times are on An Xiabai's side, which may mean that her life should not be extinguished!

Feng Bailin gritted his teeth and thought.

Speaking of An Xiabai's side, at this time, she was nesting in Lu Li's arms to feel the body temperature of her husband, and her delicate appearance was full of confusion: "Husband, why did you suddenly appear here, shouldn't you be guarding Lingcheng at this time, and what happened to the army of Zhouguan?" ”

When she saw Lu Li for the first time, An Xiabai even had the illusion that she was not seeing her at all, but dreaming, she was stunned for a long time, until she touched Lu Li's cheek with her own hands and felt the temperature on his body, he realized that all this was true, and her husband came from Lingcheng.

An Xia Bai was happy and worried.

The happy thing is that Lu Li is very affectionate to himself, even in this special situation, he is willing to take the risk of leaving Lingcheng to pick up people in Luoyang, and the sad thing is that Lu Li left, what should Lingcheng do?

In the case that the other party deliberately sold the guanzi, An Xiabai's confused emotions became deeper and deeper.

"Husband, don't play dumb riddles with me anymore, tell me the reason, why did you appear in Luoyang? And how is Lingcheng doing now? ”

An Xiabai still remembers the feeling of Zhou Guan and Xiong Lishui's army approaching the city, and the black oppressive patch was like a dark cloud hanging over her heart.

"I appeared in Luoyang City, of course I came to pick up Mrs. you, as for what is the current situation in Lingcheng, Mrs. don't worry, everything is fine."

In the days since An Xiabai left, Lu Li and other generals in the army, especially Li Wenfeng and others, reformulated the battle plan, from the previous attack and defense based on Lingcheng to attacking other cities, because they knew that if the city near Lingcheng was still under the control of King Li, it would be almost difficult to cut off the food and grass of those armies in Zhouguan, so they changed their methods.

"Madame, guess how many cities I've conquered in this time?"

An Xiabai frowned, thinking that he was not a witness to the war, where could he guess this kind of thing?

But for Lu Li's pleasure, she still guessed once.

"One?"

Lu Liban lowered his face and deliberately pretended to be unhappy: "I didn't expect that Madam, your confidence in me is only so little, you open your eyes and look at your husband, am I the kind of person who can only capture one city?" ”

An Xiabai was surprised, from the day she left Lingcheng, until now, half a month has passed, what has Lu Li done in this half a month?

"Husband, don't play dumb riddles with me, tell me how many you have played?"

Lu Li smiled slightly, and said a three in An Xiabai's expectant gaze.

"If it weren't for the lack of troops, our men wouldn't have been able to hold more cities at all, and I would have been able to continue fighting."

An Xiabai didn't doubt his words at all, for no other reason, she just felt that her husband had the ability to conquer cities, but it was indeed unexpected for her to capture three cities at once, after all, the city is not tofu, where can it be captured if you want to? How did Lu Li attack three cities in a row? Didn't they see anything unusual at all when they looked around their army during this time?

As if seeing the confusion in An Xiabai's heart, Lu Li smiled and hugged the person into his arms, and then explained in a low voice: "Zhou Guan is not here, I don't know why he left the barracks, in short, the person is not there, and so is Xiong Qianshui." Originally, I only wanted to attack one city and another to take some food, but I didn't expect that the people's opinions on the court would be so big. ”

Lu Li's army entered the city without much resistance, and not only that, but the people even welcomed them, saying that they were willing to submit.

Listening to these experiences that seemed to be stories, An Xiabai felt a lot of emotion.

"It seems that it is not unreasonable for the ancients to say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world."
