The meeting that decided the future fate of Apocalypse, the Galaxy Group, and even the world ended quickly, and the generals dispersed to prepare for the grand reception dinner prepared by the wealthy families to welcome Xu Rui into the city.

Xu Rui put on a new set of dresses, which is very different from the design of ordinary robes and large sleeves in this world, Xu Rui referred to the military uniforms of another world when he first designed this dress, using modern clothes that are capable, simple and powerful.

In terms of style, the dress of the Apocalypse is not much different from the military dress of the other world, with a well-cut light blue dress, ironed straight trousers, shiny black leather shoes, a large-brimmed military hat, and a large coat that can wrap the whole body.

Once the dress is put on, the whole person immediately looks tall and arrogant, and the heroic spirit suddenly jumps out, with Xu Rui's young face, the edge that is difficult to hide is vividly reflected.

"Young master, it's time to go."

An Ge stood silently aside, reminding Xu Rui that it was time to go out.

Xu Rui nodded, and was about to take a step, when he suddenly paused slightly, and his eyes fell on the side hall.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

An Ge followed Xu Rui's gaze, but didn't find anything abnormal, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Xu Rui groaned for a moment and said, "Inform the convoy to leave later, and then come to the side hall to find me." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui suddenly turned around and walked towards the side hall, leaving An Ge with a blank face.

After a while, Xu Rui slowly walked into the side hall, and the original room full of silver had been emptied by the soldiers, leaving an empty large room with nothing left in it except a huge wooden screen.

Xu Rui walked to the screen and stood still for a while, and suddenly said to the empty room: "Since you are here, why don't you show up in a dignified manner, but play a game of cat and mouse with me?" ”

There was a brief silence in the side hall, and after a few breaths, suddenly an incredible voice came from behind the screen: "How did you find me?" ”

Li Kuang walked out from behind the screen suspiciously.

"I can smell you as soon as I walk in the door."

Xu Rui snorted, didn't explain the overly acute five senses, and asked lightly, "Why are you so sneaky?" ”

Li Kuang subconsciously sniffed on himself, but didn't find any smell, shook his head and smiled: "I originally wanted to watch you finish tonight's big play, it's rare that you have this little leisure time, and you happen to be in high spirits, I really can't bear to disturb it." ”

Xu Rui sighed when he heard this: "Did you come by yourself, or did you follow the holy decree?" ”

Li Kuang's face was straight and said: "Since you are Jinyiwei, how can you control yourself?" Naturally, he came by divine decree. ”

Xu Rui frowned: "It seems that the Holy Lord can't wait to make a move on the wealthy family." ”

Li Kuang smiled and said: "You also have to understand the saint, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?" The fact that the Holy One has been able to endure for so many years is actually quite remarkable. ”

"yes......"

Xu Rui nodded: "Only those who do great things can tolerate what others can't tolerate, and our saint is indeed a person who has achieved great things." ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui looked at Li Kuang again and said, "The old man won't want to hand over this mess to me again, right?" ”

Li Kuang smiled slightly and said, "The Holy One asked me to bring you a message." ”

Xu Rui rolled his eyes, and didn't kneel and bow like he received the holy decree with others, but said lightly: "Say, let's see how his old man wants to support me." ”

Li Kuang smiled bitterly and said: "The saint's oracle, that is the trust and closeness of the courtiers, who receives the oracle is not a thousand thanks, the whole world does not care so much, I am afraid that you are the only one." ”

Xu Rui plucked out his ears when he heard this, but did not speak, looking a little impatient.

Li Kuang waved his hand, and he didn't bother to explain the truth to him, and said directly: "The Holy Lord asked me to tell you, I will give you three months, and when you have had enough, you can get back quickly, there is still a big mess waiting for you in the capital, if you are lazy again, be careful that I really copy your lair." ”

Hearing this, Xu Rui's face changed slightly, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Li Kuang sighed with emotion: "The Holy Lord may not speak in this tone to his own son, how can you look like you have eaten a fly?" ”

Xu Rui said angrily: "Who can have a good temper behind the black pot?" Not going crazy on the spot is already self-contained! ”

Li Kuang said with a smile: "Come on, the Holy Lord has been very good to you, not only gave you three months to search Xichuan, but you are just in the name of a Xichuan pacification envoy, and we are not all responsible for the dirty work of killing people and raiding homes, what else do you have to complain about?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "You don't pretend to be garlic, who doesn't know that meritorious deeds are easy to obtain, infamy is difficult to bear, I single-handedly used the Xichuan remnants to pacify Xichuan, and then turned my hand to wipe them out, so crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, is it not shameful for the people of the world?" ”

Li Kuang smiled: "Now you will say this, why didn't you blink your eyes when blackmailing the Xichuan remnants?" ”

This time it was Xu Rui's turn to smile bitterly: "No way, I accidentally made a great contribution this time, if I don't do something, how can I explain it to the saint?" The Holy One can tolerate me to be corrupt and take bribes, but he will never allow me to be a great contributor. ”

Li Kuang nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, in fact, the Holy Lord is also protecting you by doing this, you have just made such a great achievement with the crown, and there will be a lot of opportunities to go further in the future, and there will soon be a day when there will be no seal."

When the time comes, whether it is jealous of you, or those who think you are in the way, they will use all means to bring you down, the so-called three people become tigers, even the saints are not sure that they can listen to slander every day but have no suspicion of you.

Now that you are defiling yourself, and you are carrying the notoriety of bloodbathing Xichuan for the saint, not only blocking the mouths of those who have a heart, but also having a reason for the saint to suppress you, so as to avoid causing the suspicion of the monarch and the minister because you are too fast to become a great minister, for you, there is nothing more important than this. ”

Xu Rui nodded: "Yes, I like this point of the saint, and never test human nature, because human nature cannot stand the test, just like a seed germination, once the conditions for seed germination are all ripe, it will germinate 100%."

So instead of saying that the king will not live up to his ministers, it is better to be like the saint, and not let the monarchs and ministers go to the point where they may fail each other, as a courtier, it is lucky to meet such an emperor. ”

Li Kuang smiled when he heard this: "It's not easy to say a human word from your mouth, so it shouldn't be emotional, right?" ”

Xu Rui laughed at himself: "I'm a little from the fifth grade, how dare I have an emotional relationship with the saint?" Say, when will the official decree come? ”

Speaking of business, Li Kuang's face suddenly became solemn: "General Deng He is leading 50,000 border troops to Xichuan with a holy decree, and it will arrive in about ten days. ”

Xu Rui nodded: "According to the calculation of time, when the Holy Decree was issued, I had just arrived in Xichuan, but his old man had confidence in me, so he never thought that my hundreds of people would not be able to take Xichuan's 200,000 army?" ”

Li Kuang shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows what the saint thinks, but when I passed on the message to you just now, I seemed to be relieved to see you, is there still something in the message?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "What I'm most worried about is actually that the Holy Lord can't resist the temptation and send troops to the Southern Dynasty, but from the message you came, I have been sure that the Holy Lord will not act like this." ”

"Oh, how so?"

Li Kuang suddenly became interested.

Xu Rui said: "This is not simple? If the Holy Lord really decided to use troops against the Southern Dynasty, he would definitely wish I would go back now, and still give me three months of vacation? ”

"Makes sense......"

Li Kuang nodded and said: "Actually, there was news from the border army before, they were ordered to launch a small-scale attack on the Southern Dynasty, but they did not meet resistance, and then the Holy Lord never raised the matter of fighting the Southern Dynasty. ”

"That's right!"

Xu Rui high-fived and said: "If King Wuling is really dead, in order to prevent our army from taking the opportunity to go south, the Southern Dynasty will definitely resist fiercely and make a tough posture, otherwise, it will be a trap for King Wuling to lure our army." ”

Li Kuang frowned: "Maybe the enemy just guessed through your psychology and sang an empty city plan." ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "No, it's not impossible to rap the empty city plan, but looking at the entire Southern Dynasty, there is only King Wuling who has this kind of scheming and such courage."

So no matter what kind of trick he used, at least we can be sure that King Wuling is not dead, as long as we understand this, it is enough, and the saint also saw this, so he never raised the matter of soldiers. ”

"I see, it's really complicated......"

Li Kuang rubbed his temples and sighed.

"By the way, I just have something to ask you."

Xu Rui suddenly said seriously.

Li Kuang was stunned: "You ask." ”

Xu Rui said solemnly: "How is the war on King Su's side?" ”
