Chapter 152: Persistence
"In that case, you can find a chance to talk to him alone." Xie Yunxiu saw that Xiao Li seemed to have made up his mind, and he stopped joking, and a different smile appeared on his face.
"Hmm. I will. Xiao Li stood up and nodded at him.
After walking out of Xie Yunxiu's tent, Xiao Li's mood was a little complicated, and the conversation she just heard, although the amount of information was not very large, it still brought her a certain impact.
She didn't expect that Hui Shangyi was willing to take such a big risk in order to protect her comfort, and not long ago, she was still questioning his intentions for herself, maybe there are some things, she is indeed thinking too much?
Back in her account, she organized the language in her mind, thinking about how to persuade Hui Shangyi later, and wrote a note by the way, inviting Hui Shangyi to gather by the stream behind the barracks in the afternoon.
She had been there before, the scenery was very good, it made people feel open, and there were usually no people who came and went, so if you want to talk alone, it is more suitable there.
Hui Shangyi was a little unhappy because he had a little dispute with Xie Yunxiu just now, and after returning to his account, he secretly vowed to do this well, so he began to desperately rummage through the historical classics of Shengguo, wanting to see if there was a precedent for such a thing to refer to.
Although he also knew in his heart that Xie Yunxiu had read these books countless times since he was a child, he was about to memorize them backwards, he didn't mention them just now, it should be not, and he also felt that it was a little incredible to ask for credit for a woman.
But maybe because he has been with Xiao Li for too long, his thoughts have also begun to move closer to the "modern" in Xiao Li's mouth, and he feels that there is nothing strange about a woman being an official or going to the battlefield, and men and women should be equal. Such thinking was too advanced and frightening in ancient times.
At this time, suddenly a female soldier in the women's army asked to see her.
"What's the matter? I'm annoyed. Hui Shangyi was not happy in his heart, and waved his hand to blast people out.
"That, General. This is the note of the young lady. The female soldier said curtly, carefully put down the note written by Xiao Li, and left, not wanting to touch Hui Shangyi's bad head.
Hearing that it was Xiao Li's note to himself, Hui Shangyi reacted suddenly.
So he jumped up impatiently, threw away the book in his hand, picked up the note on the table and read it.
"Gather by the stream behind the barracks in the afternoon......"
Hui Shangyi frowned, a little puzzled, he and Xiao Li could meet at any time, why did he suddenly invite himself to the stream. Is there something you want to whisper to yourself?
Anyway, receiving Xiao Li's note made him feel a little happy in an instant, and even faintly looked forward to it, not knowing what Xiao Li would say to him.
And he also has an idea, that is, to tell Xiao Li about his dispute with Xie Yunxiu today, he is to protect her, and she should not refuse. And with Xiao Li's support, he will be more confident at that time.
Hui Shangyi thought beautifully, completely unaware of what was waiting for him in the afternoon.
After lunch, Xiao Li sorted out his thoughts, and while no one was paying attention, he came to the side of the creek on time.
If the weather is clear, the sun is very bright, shining on the stream like flowing gold.
It's obviously not a rare scenery, but Xiao Li doesn't get tired of seeing it, and every time he sees it, he feels a lot happier.
She stretched out her hand, picked up a handful of stream water, felt the coolness flow from her fingers little by little, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a pleasant smile, if only life could be so plain and warm all the time.
"What's the matter with me?" Hui Shangyi walked over from not far away, saw Xiao Li having a good time, and was in a good mood, sitting next to Xiao Li, he also reached out and touched the stream.
Xiao Li saw Hui Shang Yi coming, and he also came back to his senses from the comfort just now, and his expression began to become serious.
"I have something to discuss with you."
"It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you, and you will definitely be very happy." Hui Shangyi clapped his hands and laughed happily.
But Xiao Li couldn't smile at this time, because he already knew his so-called surprise, and he wasn't happy at all, so he shook his head and said, "Did you tell Junshi Xie that you want to ask the Holy Lord for me?" ”
"How do you know? That's what I want to say. Hui Shangyi was taken aback, and secretly scolded Xie Yunxiu in his heart for being so fast-talking and letting Xiao Li know in advance.
"Don't scold Master Xie in your heart, I overheard your conversation." Xiao Li saw through Hui Shangyi's thoughts at a glance and sighed helplessly.
"Oh." Hui Shangyi put away his indignant expression and nodded lightly, "Then what do you think, as long as you have military merits, they can't start with you if they want to deal with me." "Wenxin School
"I don't think it's good at all." Xiao Li shook his head very firmly, "You are also our modern age, saying that for a woman, others are not allowed to laugh off their big teeth?" I don't like your system either, but I don't have the guts to be different. ”
"With me, they don't dare to say anything." Hui Shangyi thought that Xiao Li was worried about being gossiped, so he immediately patted his chest and promised.
The soldiers in the barracks talked a lot before, weren't they all repaired by him? This can still stump him.
"It's okay with this." Xiao Li shook his head again, "You don't know how much risk you have to take to ask for credit?" The saint may have been jealous of you, and you asked for a military merit for your wife, isn't this a clear provocation? ”
Xiao Li doesn't care what others say about herself, but if Hui Shangyi's reputation is damaged, she won't do it if she kills her.
"This ......" Hui Shangyi scratched his head, as if he had taken this into account, but still gritted his teeth and said, "I believe that the Holy Lord will not doubt me, otherwise he would not have used me so much before." ”
"A companion is like a tiger, you should know this truth better than me." Xiao Li looked at him meaningfully, "If you want you to take such a big risk for me, I won't do it." ”
"I'm going to be fine." Hui Shangyi knew that Xiao Li was worried about himself because he was like this, and he was very moved in his heart, and reassured.
"I'll say it again, I don't agree with you asking for credit for me, I'm not rare to be there." Xiao Li saw that Hui Shangyi was obsessed, frowned, and said very firmly.
"Why?" At this time, Zihui Shangyi was also a little annoyed, "Xie Yunxiu doesn't support me doing this, I thought you would always understand me, why don't you understand me either?" ”
Originally, he was deflated by Xie Yunxiu, he hoped to get some comfort from Xiao Li, but he didn't expect these two people to stand on the same front.
"I don't want you to have an accident with me!" Xiao Li was bitter, and he was also a little depressed because he couldn't communicate with Hui Shangyi.
"You know what? If we win the battle this time, I'm afraid there will be more people who are afraid of me, you are my biggest weakness, they will attack you, I don't want that to happen. Hui Shangyi also tried to make Xiao Li understand his thoughts, so he began to explain his thoughts from the beginning.
But Xiao Li had already heard these reasons from Xie Yunxiu, she knew what was going on, and she didn't want Hui Shangyi to take risks.
Not to mention that I don't know what this battle will look like, even if she wins, if someone is jealous of them, they don't necessarily attack her directly, but Hui Shangyi has to find herself unhappy first, isn't it too unworthy?
Moreover, she still has confidence in herself, ordinary people can't hurt her, she can protect herself.
"Do you have to do this?" Xiao Li's eyes showed distress, and he looked at Hui Shangyi and said.
"Definitely." Hui Shangyi is still very persistent and has no intention of letting go.
Xiao Li sighed helplessly, knowing that Hui Shangyi was like this, he had already recognized one thing, and he couldn't persuade him to come back no matter how hard he wore his tongue, so he could only compromise.
"In this case, we have to take a step back, I agree with you to ask for credit, but you can't just ask for credit for me." Xiao Li was thinking quickly in his mind, and suddenly had another idea.
"What do you mean?" Hui Shangyi asked puzzled.
"Neither the catapult nor the trench is my own work, and I ask that half of the credit be given to the craftsmen who helped me in the first place. And you have to ask for credit for those craftsmen first, and then 'by the way' invite me. When Xiao Li said the last sentence, he deliberately bit the word "by the way" very hard.
In this way, at least she won't be so uneasy in her heart, and others won't think that Hui Shangyi attaches too much importance to women, and criticizes something behind her back.
"But...... Then you don't have much credit left. Hui Shangyi hesitated and said reluctantly.
"I don't care about the credit, you have to take the credit, you have to do it." This time, it became Xiao Li resolutely, looking like there was no room for negotiation.
"Well, well." Hui Shangyi sighed and agreed to Xiao Li's proposal, otherwise, he was also afraid that Xiao Li would make trouble with him endlessly.
The plan was successful, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
But on the other hand, Hui Shangyi was not so happy, and the whole person seemed to have been hit by something, and began to be depressed.
Xiao Li also noticed the change in his mood, smiled gently, patted Hui Shangyi's back like an elder, and comforted: "It's okay, I believe that you can protect me even if you don't have military merits, besides, isn't this battle still unfought?" What are you doing in a hurry? ”
"I am bound to win this battle, as for the battle merits, if you don't want to, I can't force it." Hui Shangyi's tone was a little low, and he looked at the stream in front of him in a daze.
The corners of Xiao Li's mouth twitched, this kid can't be hit by his brother and the woman he likes continuously, he can't stand this stimulation, stupid, right......
