Chapter 45: The Hindrance
In the workshop, Xia Huan, who had only come out for a moment, had a lot of sweat on his body.
If it weren't for Li Xu and him being separated by a distance, I'm afraid that he would have noticed that something was wrong, and it would be impossible to compromise with him and give him an hour's time.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" As Xia Huan's current right-hand man, Yu Meng couldn't help but ask with some worry.
"Don't worry......" Xia Huan waved his hand, and his voice was suddenly much weaker than before. There was not even a trace of blood on his face.
In order to prevent Li Xu from seeing the abnormality before, Xia Huan had been fighting strongly, so that now, even when he spoke, he became very hoarse.
"Before I came out, I also arranged for the backhand. Calculate the time, an hour, and it's almost time to come. ”
Looking at Xia Huan's appearance, Yu Meng pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't say what was in his heart.
"Get out. I'll rest for a while......" Xia Huan waved his hand a little weakly, sat on the chair, and his eyes even began to fight.
Looking at Xia Huan's tired appearance, Yu Meng felt that it was impossible not to be moved.
In this era, it is important to pay attention to political achievements, talent and reputation. As for loving the people like a son, it is not as good as that.
But, it is precisely because of this. Xia Huan loves the people so much, which is even more admirable.
Quietly closing the door, Yu Meng did not go far, but just stood in front of Xia Huan's door and stood guard for him.
Outside the fang, Li Xu naturally couldn't just wait.
An hour is not long, but it is not short. Li Xu, as the commander of the prince's army, naturally cannot be a person with wine bags and rice bags.
Just in case, Li Xu directly took out 500 people to form a ranger, and almost the entire gathering place was monitored.
Time passed little by little, and the silence in the workshop was a little unpleasant.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, Li Xu gradually relaxed his vigilance from the beginning.
Without waiting for an hour to come, Li Xu waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to drive in directly.
"Li Xu! What are you doing! It's been an hour, and now there's at least a moment left! In the Changxiu Army, Chen Zhaoming, who has been in charge of vigilance, shouted.
Although Chen Zhaoming is not the overseer general of the Changxiu Army, his identity is naturally known to everyone in the Changxiu Army.
Therefore, Chen Zhaoming led the Changxiu army, and there was no problem.
Not only that, Chen Zhaoming is also the son of Chen An. As a former palace guard, it is impossible for Li Xu not to know Chen An's status in the palace.
It is precisely in this way that compared to Yu Meng, Chen Zhaoming is more qualified to deter Li Xu.
Otherwise, relying on Yu Meng alone, if Li Xu wanted to break the contract, Xia Huan wouldn't even have time to stop him.
For Chen Zhaoming, although Li Xu does not have as scruples as Xia Huan imagined, he will never be as casual as facing Yu Meng.
"Chen Gongzi, don't get me wrong. Naturally, the hour has not yet arrived, but Li has never said that he will do it. Rest assured for the time being, Li still has this credibility. ”
Li Xu said so. However, he did not order his subordinates to stop at all.
More than 1,000 princes, like mountains, marched fifty paces and then nailed there.
This distance does not give Chen Zhaoming an excuse to refute. It can completely block the way out of the people inside.
It can be seen that Li Xu is by no means an ordinary person. Yu Meng was able to make him suffer before, in addition to Li Xu's light enemy, the element of luck was even more indispensable.
Inside the house, it seems that he has a sense with Chen Zhaoming. Not long after Li Xu made a small move, Xia Huan woke up again.
However, to his surprise. In addition to him in the house, Chun Yujing was also in the house.
Xia Huan frowned, he was still very clear about Yu Meng, it was impossible to let people into the house and disturb his rest so casually.
"What are you doing here, a girl's family, what if the epidemic is transmitted to you?" Xia Huan said lightly covering his mouth and nose.
However, Chun Yujing didn't say anything, but handed the pottery bowl filled with medicinal juice to Xia Huan and said, "Drink the medicine." ”
Xia Huan never refused Chun Yujing, glanced at the sky outside the house, and asked while drinking the medicine, "What time is it?" ”
"It's almost unitary time."
"It's time...... Xia Huan murmured softly, silently calculating the time in his heart.
Outside Yingshang County, a man in silver armor spurred the war horse under his crotch fiercely.
And the war horse under his crotch is obviously a little unbearable. Not to mention sweating profusely, there was even a trace of white foam between the corners of his mouth.
This is the best war horse, which was chosen by the servants for the use of the court.
If such a horse is put in the market, it is impossible to buy it without thousands of Chu coins.
However, at this moment, this silver-armored palace guard did not hesitate at all. Still galloping wildly, not caring about horsepower at all.
"Hurry, hurry!" The palace guard's face was full of anxiety.
From Shoudu to Yingshang, the distance of dozens of miles has been running wildly, and he knows that even if he reaches his destination, this horse will be wasted.
But even so, he didn't feel distressed at all.
"Drive!"
One man and one ride, rolling up a trace of dust. ran straight to the workshop where Xia Huan was.
The summer days are always extraordinarily long. The time was approaching, and Xia Huan no longer rested, but came to the forefront of the confrontation between the two sides.
By now, it's already to the point where you will fight if you don't agree with each other. Just relying on Chen Zhaoming's identity no longer works.
Surprisingly, the more critical the moment, the more quiet and abnormal the two sides became.
There was no bloody provocation, Li Xu just rode on the horse and watched the hour silently.
"Da! Da! Da! ”
In the distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves. not only attracted Li Xu's attention, but also made Xia Huan and Chen Zhaoming's eyes light up.
"It's okay, I finally caught up." Xia Huan muttered softly, and his expression was also slightly in a trance.
There is a clear gap between the silver armor and the armor of the prince's army. Obviously, it was the back hand he arranged for him to arrive.
"Your Majesty has an order! The flood is falling, the people are suffering, and the king of Yingshang is in charge of his city, and there must be no mistake! The silver-armored palace guard, holding a token alof, opened his throat and shouted.
Although there was still a distance of nearly two hundred steps, the voice could not be heard too clearly, but looking at the sound of silver armor, Li Xu secretly said that it was broken.
The voice was getting closer and closer, and the look on Li Xu's face was also getting more and more ugly.
"Brother, forget it. We can leave. ”
Unlike Li Xu's ugly face, after arriving, Li Jin, who did not highlight his presence too much, opened his mouth at this time.
"Huh?" Li Xu glanced at Li Jin and asked with his eyes, when things came to this point, would it cause the prince to be dissatisfied with him.
As brothers, the two have served the prince together for so many years, so they naturally have the most basic tacit understanding.
Li Jin also shook his head and said, "Brother don't worry, not only will the prince not blame you for this matter, but he may also reward you." ”
Li Xu glanced at Li Jin in some surprise. However, for this younger brother, who is closer to the crown prince than himself, Li Xu still trusts him quite a lot.
Turning over and dismounting, Li Xu was under the surprised eyes of Yu Meng and a group of Changxiu soldiers, and before the palace guard arrived, he knelt on one knee and shouted: "Minister, Li Xu obeys the order!" ”
