Chapter 380: Going to the Banquet

Ange ......"

In the carriage, Xu Rui called out with a gloomy face.

"Young master, I'm here."

Since Xu Rui came back from the side hall, his face has been very gloomy, and he has been silent for most of the day without speaking, An Ge doesn't know what happened, he is very worried, and when he heard Xu Rui call him, he hurriedly came to Xu Rui's side and listened to his orders.

"You immediately put down everything in your hands and go to the capital."

Xu Rui silently looked out the window and said in a deep voice.

"What?"

An Ge was stunned for a moment, not to mention that the current communication between the Apocalypse Guard and the imperial court, as well as intelligence communication, were all in charge of An Ge, even the many orders that Xu Rui had just issued at the meeting were indispensable for An Ge to come out.

At this time, letting An Ge go to the capital must have happened something terrible, and as soon as the order came out, it made his heart tighten.

In fact, Xu Rui also knew that An Ge couldn't leave, but he couldn't rest assured that he would change to someone else, so he hesitated for a long time and finally had to put everything else on hold.

"King Su led the army to stick to Donglan Fort, and fought with the main force of the Southern Dynasty for nine days, and finally although he tried to keep the fortress intact, he was injured by the enemy's marksman, fell into a coma, and it was difficult to decide whether he lived or died."

Xu Rui muttered a repetition of the last sentence Li Kuang had said to him.

An Ge was shocked when he heard this: "King Su is seriously injured, so should we rush back immediately?" In this world, when it comes to healing injuries, I'm afraid no one is more sure than the young master. ”

Xu Rui said: "I still have to stay in Xichuan for a while, besides, as the commander, I can't leave the army and go on the road alone, if I go with the army, with the marching speed of the Apocalypse, even if I go back with all my strength now, King Su may not be able to hold out until that time." ”

Saying that, Xu Rui sighed and said: "King Su is seriously injured, he will definitely be sent to the capital, you have to work hard to start from the waterway immediately, change horses through the post station, Marshall people do not stop, be sure to rush back to the capital within five days, and use my handwritten letter to ask Mr. Changpo to treat King Su's injuries." ”

An Ge was stunned: "Since King Su will be sent to the capital, I'm afraid you don't have to wait for me to go, and the Holy Lord will also ask Mr. Changpo to make a move, right?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "The Holy Lord will please, but Mr. Changpo may not be able to save him, you don't know, he is a little crazy now, saying that he wasted too much time in the first half of his life, and he has to make up for it in the second half of his life, and now in addition to reaching out to me for project funds, he will not easily go out of the laboratory, and only I can use the project funds to ask him to save people." ”

Thinking of Mr. Changpo's crazy appearance, An Ge immediately understood Xu Rui's worries, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then without further ado, please write a letter to the young master immediately, and I will set off!" ”

Xu Rui nodded, immediately took out a pen and paper, and wrote a line of words on the paper: "King Su is not dead, this year's project funds will be doubled; King Su is cured, and you will be given two 500,000 taels of project approval opportunities without approval! ”

After writing, Xu Rui stuffed the letter paper into the envelope and handed it to An Ge.

An Ge stuffed the envelope into his arms, arched his hand towards Xu Rui, and without saying a word, jumped out of the carriage and galloped away in the direction of the capital.

After sending An Ge away, Xu Rui was still a little uneasy, and when he thought that King Su might die, his heart tugged again.

Although they have only known each other for two years, King Su is very close to Xu Rui, in Xu Rui's opinion, among all the sons of Emperor Hongwei, King Su is the most loyal and upright person.

Maybe such a character may not be able to be a good emperor, but he is a good friend, a good buddy, the last thing Xu Rui wants to see is that King Su died prematurely.

Previously, in the court, Xu Rui intentionally or unintentionally guided King Su away from the battle for the heir, just to protect King Su, but he didn't expect that he did not fall under the cruel court struggle, but fell under the enemy's sharp arrows.

"Dashuai, we're here."

Just thinking about it, Cao Siyuan's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.

Xu Rui came back to his senses, threw those chaotic emotions out of his head, tidied up his clothes a little, and got out of the carriage.

The location of the reception banquet is the largest restaurant in the new Chang'an, inheriting the grace and luxury of the Han Dynasty, and it is naturally very chic here, and the large courtyard with three entrances inside and outside makes it look less like a restaurant, more like a manor.

In comparison, Xu Rui's reception when he first came to New Chang'an was very shabby, and in fact, even the Wentian Pavilion in Changxing City was dwarfed.

The wealthy families have already chartered the entire restaurant, and Tianqiwei has blocked the inside and outside of the restaurant in advance to ensure the absolute safety of the restaurant.

The people present, in addition to Xu Rui and a group of staff officers dressed in ceremonial clothes, including Zhang Zuofeng and Cao Siyuan, and other officers and soldiers were all dressed in camouflage armor, equipped with sabers, round shields and repeating crossbows, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Before leaving, all the soldiers in charge of security had already had dinner, and they would never touch a little wine and meat here tonight, and the only purpose was to never let Xu Rui be in the slightest danger.

As soon as Xu Rui got out of the car, Lin Shaodong and other staff officers surrounded him, also wearing a dress and a big hat.

The staff officers are all talented people from the country, young, naturally graceful, and magnificent, plus the dress designed by Xu Rui is unique in this world, and it is heroic and refreshing, and it attracts everyone's attention as soon as it appears.

Xu Rui stood at the front of the team, with a group of "yellow cloaks" wearing big-brimmed hats, and walked straight to the door of the restaurant.

"Congratulations to Xu Qin's mission to Xichuan, Xichuan is honored to be young and old."

I don't know who in the crowd was the first to react and shouted, and the rest of the family heads echoed and hurriedly saluted Xu Rui.

Xu Rui bowed his hand to everyone, smiled cordially and nodded to everyone, and the people present suddenly felt a warmth like a spring breeze, and couldn't help but relax a little.

At the front of the crowd, Zhang Youlin saw Xu Rui's appearance, and there was a burst of emotion in his heart.

Although this Xu Rui is young and gentle, his methods are really old-fashioned, he first established his absolute position in Xichuan with a great victory that shook the past and the present, and then relied on his strong military strength to put high pressure on the clans.

Then, through the wanton accumulation of money, he gradually released ambiguous signals under the continued high-pressure situation, and when you really see him, you will feel that this person is sharp on the surface, but in fact he is approachable, and his good feelings suddenly increase.

This series of combination punches may seem unrelated, but it has achieved a goal that the sword soldiers cannot achieve.

After the defeat of the Cui family, the major families in Xichuan still have considerable strength, even if they can't make any waves, but it is not difficult to secretly make trouble.

The Xichuan family also wanted to use this only means to trade with Xu Rui, who was eager to pacify Xichuan, in exchange for greater benefits.

But Xu Rui held a big stick in one hand and hope in the other, sometimes beating them trembling, sometimes making them happy, and after a few times, everyone didn't dare to think about anything else.

The clouds and rain will play with the wealthy families in Xichuan, compared to the old and spicy Cui Huanchen, this Qincha who has just reached the crown is more than one grade......

The more Zhang Youlin thought about it, the more frightened he became, the original little caution had long been gone, and now he just wanted to serve this master well, and not let the demon under that smiling face stare at him.

"You came early, but the official has made a big deal, so I apologize to you."

Xu Rui smiled and said kind words to everyone.

Everyone naturally didn't even dare to say it, and the fleshy touting of the mountains and tsunamis was endless, but Xu Rui had already developed a cheeky face, and they all accepted it as ordered, and for a while, the guests and hosts were happy and happy.

Just when Xu Rui was surrounded by a group of big families and walked into the restaurant, his eyes inadvertently fell on someone in the corner.

Seeing this person, Xu Rui was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled: "I didn't expect you to be here, I said goodbye last time, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
