The originally lively atmosphere in the room instantly became a little depressing, especially after Li Xu relayed Pan Zhanyang's warning, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and others had gloomy faces, and almost every pair of eyes was so angry that they burst into flames.

"These unfamiliar dogs, thanks to our Da Sui who have always regarded them as brothers!" Captain Zhang Jiang scolded while slapping the table, shaking the wine on the table and splashing around. "Those high-ranking officials in the court are even more bastards, since there are already people who have embodied the warning, even if they don't believe it, they should send someone to investigate, how can they take Your Majesty to risk!"

"I'm afraid, nine times out of ten, this matter is His Majesty's proposal!" Wu Yulin has a deep understanding of officialdom, and what he said hit the nail on the head. "Once Your Majesty makes a decision, it will be difficult for the hundred officials to dismiss him. Moreover, the warning of the Khitan people may not be groundless! ”

When it comes to the various ethnic groups outside the Great Sui region, his opinion is far less accurate than the evaluation of the internal official system of the Great Sui, "A few years ago, those Turks were just invited by our Central Plains as distinguished guests to play, and they took care of food and accommodation all the way. It stands to reason that the two sides should be more harmonious, how could they see that something happened to the Great Sui, so they took the opportunity to bully them! ”

As an authentic Central Plains person, Wu Yulin likes to use the Central Plains people's way of doing things to speculate about foreign peoples. This is also one of the reasons why the Great Sui court misjudged the warning signals from the border. The people of the Central Plains pay attention to the courtesy and exchanges, and pay attention to the rudeness of accommodating distant guests. Therefore, they like to wishfully promote this way of interacting with people before the state, but they do not know that the customs and habits of those foreign peoples are actually very different from those of the Central Plains.

"They believe in wolves!" Seeing that the eyes of several friends turned to him, Xuzi thought about it and replied very seriously. Among all the people here, he is the only one who has been outside the Cyprus, and he has the most right to speak. "The Turks regarded wolves as sacred objects, so they also respected the strong in their way of interacting with people. The less you know how to bargain with them, the more they think you are weak and deceitful. Once you show that you can hurt him, they will see you as a friend! ”

Wolves are at peace with creatures with the same fangs as themselves, and when they encounter deer and sheep, they will definitely eat them, regardless of the attitude of the other. In the eyes of the Turks, the Great Sui at this moment happened to be a fat sheep that won weakly, although he has been trying to create the illusion that all countries are coming, but because it is not harmful enough, so the Turks who believe in wolves are very happy to rush over and bite a big bite.

After listening to Xuzi's words, everyone present hesitated, they didn't know what to do. Everyone's position is not too low, but Yu Chaozhong's influence is not enough to influence any major decisions. Even Xuzi, who is most trusted by Yang Guang, if he recklessly stops in front of the car heading north at this time, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape the fate of losing his official position and resigning.

"It's obviously too late to warn the imperial court now. Besides, if we don't have enough evidence to write the recital, Lord Pei Ju may not be willing to send it to His Majesty. After being silent for a while, Wu Yulin analyzed in a low voice. Besides, our task is mainly to deal with the Wagang army, and before the Wagang bandits are cut off, the court will not allow us to be distracted and do anything! ”

Since the third expedition to Liao to no avail, His Majesty the Emperor has been slack off on political affairs. Now half of the decrees of the Great Sui are from the hands of Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, and the twists and turns submitted by the hundred officials are also reviewed by the two of them before they are handed over to the emperor for approval. According to Gonggong Wu, who came to deliver the decree last time, Pei and Yu now even dared to bully Su Wei, an old minister of the two dynasties, and others rashly made suggestions, which had no effect.

"Alas!" Qin Shubao let out a long sigh, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and took a sip.

"Alas! Take care of what's in front of you. I hope the Turks are not as bad as Xuzi thinks. Luo Shixin's wine cup was already empty, but he poured it into his mouth without noticing, sighing and agreeing.

In the past few years, the officials have become bigger and bigger, and they have learned more and more about the inside story of the court, and then their future has become more and more bleak. How long can the imperial court last like this? Where is the way out? What will happen in the future? State affairs, family affairs, one problem after another is troublesome. Sometimes state affairs are family affairs, especially for local generals like them whose own families have not yet formed, the Great Sui is their foundation, if the Great Sui falls, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be overturned? !

"Don't be too depressed, everyone, when General Zhang arrives, maybe he has a good solution!" Wu Yulin picked up a dish that had become cold with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it slowly. When he doesn't know how to act, he looks at the people he trusts the most to make what kind of choices he thinks is not a bad idea.

"That's it!" Xuzi filled everyone's cups with elixir and said with a little apology. The food on the table is cooked by Ying'er herself, and no matter what happens outside, it should not be ruined. He picked up a chopstick, and chewed the faint bitterness in it. A lingering fragrance after suffering wells up on the tip of the tongue, as if it is the life in front of you.

"Didn't General Zhang follow behind General Qin? Why hasn't it arrived yet? Luo Shixin was anxious, and when he heard that everyone chose to be the head of Zhang Xutuo's horse, he hoped that he could immediately get a solution to the problem from the boss's mouth.

"He took his baggage with him, and he set off after dawn, and it is estimated that he will arrive around midnight in the afternoon!" Qin Shubao thought about it and replied.

"You won't get into any trouble on the way, will you?" Captain Zhang Jiang stopped the chopsticks stretched out for the food and asked with some anticipation. "I'm not a cursed general, there are many tricks in Wagang thieves!" His expression suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and he muttered an explanation.

"You can rest assured that the Wagang thieves have suffered a lot in your hands! When I came in the morning, I sent scouts to look around, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. The thieves on both sides retreated quickly, panicking! Qin Shubao smiled and replied very confidently.

Suddenly, the confident smile on his face turned into hesitation again, "It stands to reason that the soldiers and horses led by Xu Maogong have not suffered losses, why are they panicking?" No, there must be something strange here! ”

"Could it be that they will be unfavorable to General Zhang halfway?" Luo Shixin immediately stood up and asked.

Qin Shubao shook his head and motioned to Luo Shixin with his eyes not to be so impetuous, "No, the Wagang army retreated very embarrassed, and a lot of baggage was discarded. If you want to fight an ambush, this illusion is too realistic," he put down the wine cup and tapped his index finger on the table, "It looks like there's a big trouble inside, and I have to rush back to deal with it!" ”

"Li Mi is dead!" Zhang Jiang slammed the table, and his crazy actions startled everyone. "Li Mi died, Brother Zhong Jian shot him an arrow in front of the two armies, and then he was dragged by the horse and ran so far, nine times out of ten he lost his breath!"

The idea was so bold that it overwhelmed everyone for a while. If Li Mi had died, the Wagang Army would indeed have retreated in panic as Qin Shubao had described. But this is almost impossible, Li Mi's body and bones can be seen at a glance that he has practiced martial arts, and it is difficult to kill him by being dragged by a war horse for dozens of steps.

"It's not dead, it's also a serious injury. Otherwise, the shock to the Wagang Army will definitely not be so big! Qin Shubao summed up with a smile, and then raised his lamp and proposed, "For Li Mi's death, do it!" ”

", for Li Mi's death!" The atmosphere in the room was finally alive again, and the aroma of wine overshadowed the faint melancholy.

After being full of wine and food, Qin Shubao and the others ignored Xuzi's excuse and took the initiative to find a new mansion for him. And Xuzi himself was ordered by everyone to stay at home and share the pain of parting with the "younger siblings" who came thousands of miles to find her husband. "Actually, I just met her," Xuzi muttered to herself, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, touching her nose that was almost hit by the door and walking towards the inner hall. Today's wine was a little high, and he felt his head a little dizzy, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

It is useless to worry too much about what you can't do. He comforted himself inwardly as he gently pushed open the hidden door with his hand. She fell asleep again, her face facing out of bed. Looking through the sheer curtains, her sleeping position is pleasant, like a fish hanging in the water.

Cui'er sat on the stool next to the table, with her arms under her head, and slept soundly. The two girls were just passing the rope and were at the age of snooze, so they weren't woken up from their dreams by Xuzi's footsteps at all. For a moment, her body moved, as if she had been frightened by something, but it quickly calmed down again, forming a beautiful picture.

"They've suffered so much for me, so I have to take care of them!" Xuzi stood beside Ying'er's bed, silently admonishing herself in her heart. This one of them obviously includes Erya. "If troubled times are destined to come, at least I can protect the people around me!" He tiptoed to bring another stool, placed it on the side of the bed, sat firmly, and silently admired the wind and frost on her face that was not commensurate with her age.

Those winds and frosts were also dyed for him, and if he followed the family's arrangement, maybe at this moment she was swinging peacefully in her back garden. Thinking of the bright laughter in the sun, Xuzi's heart couldn't help but feel hot, reached out to open the bed curtain, and gently lowered his head.

"Sir, the guest is gone?" At this moment, Cui'er's voice suddenly sounded from behind, so frightened that Xuzi almost didn't stretch his neck. He quickly put away his compact lips and turned his head, and saw Cui'er, who had a few marks on her face, staring at her every move with wide eyes and surprise.

Suddenly, Cui'er understood what her master planned to do. Panicked and jumped out of the door like a fawn. "I'm going to clean up the dishes!" As she fled, she explained aloud.

"This elf's weird little girl!" Asahiko smiled happily and withdrew her gaze from the door. With the arrival of the master and servant, his life has invisibly added many colors, sweet and bright. When he lowered his head again, he found that Yu'er was also awakened, staring at a pair of big black eyes, as if he wanted to dig out the secret of his heart.

"You—" both of them opened their mouths at the same time, and closed their mouths at the same time. Watching each other's cheeks slowly turn red, it's like there's a fire rolling on it.

"Are the guests gone?" Gently closing her eyelids, she asked in an extremely weak voice.

"It's gone!" Xuzi replied in a low voice, "They have been praising your craftsmanship and eating the dishes cleanly!" ”

"Really?" Her eyes widened again, and there was a hint of unconfidence in her words.

"Really!" Xuzi nodded and encouraged in a low voice, "They said they had never eaten such a delicious dish. You keep praising me for being blessed! ”

"That, that Lang, Lang Junxi, do you like the dishes that Yu'er cooks!" Li Qi's face became redder and redder, and it took a lot of effort to finally say the word Lang Jun. She doesn't care if it's someone else's taste. But whether Xuzi appreciates it or not is something she has always been worried about.

"Of course I like it!" Looking at Li Qing'er's face that was almost dripping blood, Xu Zi couldn't bear it, gently stepped forward and touched it with his lips, and said.

With just one touch, the flames spread almost throughout the body. Qi'er's body trembled suddenly, and her neck and ears instantly turned red. "Lang Jun, Lang Jun likes it." She closed her eyes, her eyelashes blinked up and down, and her dreamy voice made it impossible to tell whether she was referring to the food she cooked, or Li Xu's behavior just now. "Cui'er, Cui'er is still there. We, we haven't visited the church yet, we haven't worshiped Aunt Weng......."

Seeing Ying'er's delicate and shy appearance, Xuzi immediately realized that her behavior just now was misunderstood. Although the little girl is bold enough to wrap the sky, she is an untrained chick. It is impossible to distinguish between love and compassion and desire. Not daring to continue to burn the fire, he straightened his body slightly, and said with a smile: "My father and mother are still in Shanggu, it's not easy to see them." But don't worry, I will definitely find a way to marry you in a beautiful way, so that people can't gossip! ”

"I don't care what people say!" Qi'er's eyes opened tentatively again, looking at Li Xu to argue. Seeing that the other party's face was no longer drunk just now, she panicked, but she was slightly disappointed in her heart. Leaned over, rubbed Xuzi's arm lightly with his head, and asked timidly, "Is Lang Jun angry?" If Lang Jun really can't wait. Wait for Cui'er to rest tonight, concubine, concubine, whatever you want, anyway, I have decided to give myself to you .......! ”

"No, don't think about it. I'll go to Mr. Zhang in the afternoon, and he will give us two of us the old man! Xuzi was overwhelmed by Ying'er's timid eyes, sat up straight, and promised loudly. I will definitely try my best to give you a wedding, a wedding that you will never forget! ”

He said it so solemnly that the birdsong outside the window fell silent in an instant. In the quiet room, only the two of them breathed softly. In the entangled eyes, there is no longer the shyness and misunderstanding just now, only trust, trust for a long time.

Yu'er stretched out a hand and put it into Xuzi's calloused slap, with a peaceful smile on her face, as if she had handed over her life. Xuzi held it tightly with the hand holding the knife, holding it strongly.

At this moment, they no longer need words.
