"You don't need to thank me, just don't get into trouble in the future." Xie Yunxiu shrugged very generously and said.

"That's not going to work. I'm a man with a lot of grievances. Hui Shangyi also smiled, patted his chest half-jokingly, and said with a swear.

The two of them joked with each other, the originally serious scene actually seemed a little relaxed, and Hui Shangyi didn't want the people around him to have a strained face every time it was time to fight.

"By the way, I already handed in the report a few days ago, and now the Holy Lord should have seen it, right?" Hui Shangyi suddenly remembered that he had reported the results of the catapult a few days ago, so he mentioned this to Xie Yunxiu.

"I know." Xie Yunxiu nodded calmly, "This is also the second thing I want to tell you." ”

"Huh? You found out so quickly? Hui Shangyi felt a little incredible, and sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from Xie Yunxiu's eyes.

"I don't know, your reputation in the previous dynasty is very loud." Xie Yunxiu smiled helplessly, he had long been worried that such a situation would occur, and asked Hui Shangyi not to be too public, but with his character, he really wouldn't be honest for too long.

Hui Shangyi could also see that Xie Yunxiu didn't congratulate him at all, and even faintly worried, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Isn't this a good thing?" Besides, I also paid attention to writing the names of a craftsman and Xiao Li together, which shouldn't be too out of line. ”

"Let's not mention this for the time being, I don't know what the Holy Lord thinks of Xiao Li now, but some people are probably already eyeing you now." Xie Yunxiu looked at Hui Shangyi and said meaningfully.

"Who?" Hui Shangyi blurted out that he hadn't noticed that anyone had been paying attention to him recently, let alone being targeted, which sounded weird and scary.

"The Great Prince." Xie Yunxiu glanced at Hui Shangyi lightly and replied lightly.

But these three short words made Hui Shangyi stunned for a while.

"How can it be the Great Prince?" Hui Shangyi was a little incredulous about this result, he remembered that the Hui family and the eldest prince had nothing to do with each other before, for no reason, why would they target him?

"The ambition of the eldest prince, if you don't know him, you should be able to see it, as for him wanting to find you, he should want to expand his power." Xie Yunxiu was still relatively calm about this matter, and then analyzed it to Hui Shangyi.

Although Hui Shangyi is a military general, he has always been cultivated as the next head of the Hui family, and he knows a little bit about these things in the court, but he usually doesn't pay much attention to it.

As soon as Xie Yunxiu said this, he also understood what he meant, the ambitious person of the eldest prince must be eyeing the storage position, and someone needs to settle the opponent for him.

"So, did the eldest prince say something?" Hui Shangyi frowned, feeling that this matter was a little tricky, and asked.

"He didn't say anything, but on the day your report arrived, he asked the Holy One to come and inspect us." Xie Yunxiu replied.

"What, just over here?" Hui Shangyi was even more surprised, he originally thought that the eldest prince was at most ready to wait for the end of the war to talk to him, but he didn't expect that he was actually going to find him directly in person.

"You're a hot piece of treasure right now, of course you have to take the lead. But rest assured that the Holy One did not grant his request. Xie Yunxiu saw Hui Shangyi's headache, smiled, and continued to explain.

"Oh, I said it earlier. Scared the hell out of me. Hui Shangyi breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that he was about to prepare to meet the eldest prince.

After all, he hasn't decided his position yet, and if the eldest prince finds an alliance with him, he really doesn't know how to respond, and if he refuses rashly, it will be easy to offend people.

He can be regarded as having heard a lot of lessons from his predecessors, and knows that in the matter of winning the heir, he must stand in line, once he chooses the wrong person, the consequences are not only him, but the entire Hui family.

Therefore, he had to be cautious, he could only remain neutral for the time being in the early stage, and then slowly decide who he wanted to support with all his might. And this person can only be the same from beginning to end, and the most taboo is two-faced, so it's the same as gambling, and you can't do it again.

"Don't be too happy, I have a hunch that the eldest prince will have to find you sooner or later." Xie Yunxiu reminded.

He is different from Hui Shangyi, he has studied the temperament of various princes, such as the eldest prince, although his face is quiet, but he has always been a ruthless person who does not stop until he reaches his goal, so it is really not an easy thing to solve when he is targeted by him this time.

"You're right, we need to come up with a solution." Hui Shangyi frowned, obviously he didn't have a clue about this matter, he had never been good at dealing with people from the previous dynasty, let alone being sandwiched in front of a group of princes, he had to be cautious in everything.

"What do you think of yourself, are you optimistic about the eldest prince?" Xie Yunxiu then asked. 12345

Hui Shangyi thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I don't have a deep contact with the eldest prince, although he seems to be very stable and old." ”

"The eldest prince is naturally ambitious and thoughtful, but I don't think it's worth having a deep friendship." Xie Yunxiu nodded, "Then, if he comes to you, I will negotiate on your behalf and try to maintain your neutral position." ”

"Really?" Hui Shangyi was a little surprised, raised his head and asked.

"It's better than you playing in person, you're too easy to offend people, and when the time comes, you just need to show me that what you mean is what you mean." Xie Yunxiu smiled helplessly, he still had to come out in person in this matter, otherwise, let Hui Shangyi face this matter by himself, and he still couldn't rest assured.

"Thank you." Hui Shangyi nodded heavily.

On this issue, they have to be as cautious as possible, and now the strength of each prince is not very clear, so they dare not choose easily.

Xie Yunxiu also understands what he means, he maintains an attitude of not refusing or accepting everyone, and never clearly saying who he wants to help, which is the best way for Mingzhe to protect himself, and no one can force him to go to the team with a knife, right?

And the longer they wait and see, the later the team, the more likely it is for them to win, and even lie down to win.

"In this case, I will pay more attention to the movements of the previous dynasty during this time, and if the eldest prince makes any moves, I will tell you." Xie Yunxiu continued.

Hui Shangyi also nodded by default, at this juncture, he can't go back, and he can't go anywhere else, relatively speaking, he is still relatively passive, and everything has to be measured in advance.

After Xie Yunxiu left, he also found the backup of the report he handed over a few days ago, and wanted to check again if there were any problems.

Xiao Li's name is still ranked first by him, so he feels that the saint should have noticed Xiao Li's name now, but there has been no move, that is, they acquiesce in letting women participate in military affairs, that is, if he wants Xiao Li to make meritorious service, it should not be so difficult.

Thinking of this, Hui Shangyi became happy in his heart, took out the dart that Xiao Li had just given him, and played with it for a while, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He obviously didn't like to carry these secret weapons in the past, maybe it was because this was Xiao Li's heart for himself that he had such a soft spot for this dart.

After a while, he suddenly thought that since Xiao Li gave him this dart, should he also return the gift and carry it with him, so that they can think of each other all the time.

However, he has always been rough-minded, and he doesn't know what kind of things girls like, so he really has a headache.

Because Xiao Li is not the same as the women of their time, he doesn't love women's red and weapons, so he is also worried that he will be embarrassed if he sends the wrong thing that she is not interested in.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered that when he went to play with Xiao Li before, she was wandering around the street, and she seemed to be still a little interested in those small and cute clay figurines and wood carvings, and even bought some for herself.

But the clay figurines need to be fired, he doesn't have that condition here, and he is worried that his skills are not good enough, but as for wood carving, he seems to have learned a little bit when he was a child, although he hasn't used it for many years, but he can still give it a try.

This gift, he wanted to be completely designed and completed by himself, so that he could have a sense of participation, because he knew that what Xiao Li gave him had also put a lot of effort into, so he was not far behind.

Thinking of this, he planned to take advantage of his free time to go to the street to buy a few suitable pieces of wood, and then find a carpenter to buy some tools.

In the afternoon, he went to the nearest market to visit.

This is a border pass, and it is also a place with rich wood, so he visited many timber stores in a row, and he thought they were all good, but they were not special enough.

When he walked into the third or fourth timber store, he finally saw a piece of agarwood with a good material, which was also very textured in his hand, and after a price reduction, he bought it.

After all, the funds in the barracks are not so sufficient now, he is not as beautiful as outsiders look at all, in fact, he is still very poor, and the money to buy these things is still quietly saved by himself before.

He hid this matter from Xie Yunxiu, and no one told him, and he was going to wait for everything to be ready, and then hand over the wood carving to Xiao Li in person, and then tell others, so as to ensure that Xiao Li was given a surprise.

Recently, he has been busy with this matter, but he hasn't met Xiao Li much, and wood carving is a very painstaking work, so sometimes he has to light the lamp and fight at night.
