Chapter 36: Stand-ins

"As you said, so I think you're the best candidate. I have Chen Xiao and Ji Dafu by my side, but they can do some small things, but they are a little more complicated, and they have more than enough heart but not enough strength. Xia Wanhua stretched out her hand and pinched Xu Li's shoulder. I know you're not willing to be subservient. Because we're one of the same kind of people. If you are willing, the current way of the world is an opportunity for you and me. ”

"You're not afraid that I'll bite you back?" Xu Li still had a smile, a shallow smile, which made people unable to distinguish their intentions.

"Afraid! But you won't now. At least now you're not my enemy. I'm no match for yours either. ”

But when Xia Wanhua saw that smile, her heart was sour. That inexplicable emotion poured out again.

Hearing this, Xu Li raised his hand and gently patted the hand on his shoulder.

"You have peace of mind to do what you want. Yu Donghai, I'll take care of it. Again, I have no ill will towards you. ”

After saying that, the person got up and slowly left Xia Wanhua's study.

Never malicious.

Xia Wanhua looked down at her hands.

Why don't you go deeper? Hang my appetite?

Xu Li returned to the Northern Pavilion, and Yang Shu was already waiting for him in his room.

"You kid can do it!" Yang Shu was lying on the couch, with Erlang's legs crossed, a piece of grass in his mouth, and shouted at Xu Ligui.

"What do you want to say?" Xu Li walked to the couch, kicked poplar's buttocks, squeezed out a little space, and he also lay down.

"You actually want to eat swan meat as a toad, and you actually fell in love with Xia Wanhua's little girl. You don't believe that one day she'll chop you up with a knife. ”

Xu Li gave him a blank look. "She won't."

"Looks like you're going to eat her. Yes, I think you two are a good match. That girl also has a lot of thoughts, so you can suppress her. Yang Shu hummed in his mouth, and hit Xu Li's leg again. One day, you two will really become, don't forget me. ”

"You're idle!" Xu Li glanced blankly, turned his back to him, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Yang Shu looked at the back, twisted his little neck, and had an expression of "I said it was right".

Within a few days, a shocking news spread all over the streets.

Shen Shuyan, the orphaned county lord of Great Xia, took the posthumous photo of Emperor Daxing of Great Xia and defected to Xu Qingfang, Marquis of Weiyuan, Dingzhou! Xu Qingfang holds the posthumous photo of Emperor Daxing of Great Xia to crusade against the rebellious Zhou Changhuai! And that orphaned county lord of Great Xia is the girl of the Hechu Zhuang family, the first talented woman of Hechu, Zhuang Wanhua!

When Xu Li heard the news, he immediately went to see Xia Wanhua.

"He's alive!" Xia Wanhua sat in front of the window with her back to Xu Li and muttered to herself.

"Who?" Xu Li immediately asked.

"Lian Zhuo. It's good, it's good. ”

Xu Li suddenly understood. "You asked Poplar to go to that person, not really to find it, but just to deliver a message to him! Zhuang Wanhua is just a stand-in you are looking for. Ah Wan, why do you want to hurt that girl! ”

Hearing the last sentence, Xia Wanhua suddenly turned around. "I'm going to hurt her? I've only seen her in Dingzhou, how could I ever harm her? What do you think she Zhuang Wanhua is a saint who is pure and jade? If she wasn't greedy and vain, she knew that she wasn't an orphan of Great Xia, why would she admit it? ”

"She's a girl's family, can she resist?"

Xu Li knew that he was speechless, and his voice immediately weakened a lot.

"Xu Li, I believe Lian Zhuo, he will not force Zhuang Wanhua." Xia Wanhua said quietly. "You questioned me, but you were worried that I would trap your Xu family."

Xu Li's eyes flashed. "Who is Lian Zhuo? Is it worth believing in him so much? ”

"He's someone I can entrust my life to! Xu Li, you haven't experienced life and death, and you can't feel what it's like to die in the first moment. Lian Zhuo was the one who blocked my sword at the moment before I died. Xia Wanhua slowly raised her eyes, and there was an unquestionable look in her eyes.

It's also those thick eyes.

Every time she saw Xu Li, she couldn't help but think of Xu Ren. She still doesn't want to believe that Xu Ren is lying to her. However, he really lied. What about Xu Li? Xia Wanhua couldn't believe it. She sent someone to spy on Xu Li, although there was no indication that Xu Li was cheating on her, but she just didn't believe him.

The two of them just looked at each other quietly. See through it, don't say it.

"Wanhua, I'm back!"

Rong Zhao's slightly hoarse voice came in from outside.

Xia Wanhua and Xu Li looked at the door at the same time.

Rong Zhao strode in with a radiant look, followed by Sun Ling.

"You're back. Luckily? Xia Wanhua immediately smiled.

"How can it be bad that I'm standing in front of you completely!" Rong Zhao spread out his hands and turned around in front of Xia Wanhua.

Xu Li's gaze wandered over the two of them and walked to Rong Zhao. "It's good to come back safely. I have some urgent matters to deal with, and I'll pick you up later. ”

"Then you get busy first, I'm fine." Rong Zhao didn't doubt that he had him, so he let Xu Li leave.

As soon as Xu Li left, Sun Ling on the side immediately stepped forward. "Childe, under the leadership of the fourth son, I attacked Qiu Changkai five times at night, killing Qiu Changkai without leaving a piece of armor. It was inconvenient for Qiu Changkai's head to be brought into the city, so he sent someone to General Shen. ”

"You really killed Qiu Changkai!" Xia Wanhua walked up to Sun Ling excitedly, and she didn't know where to put her hand.

5,000 Bo 10,000, it turned out to be a success.

Sun Ling was full of smiles. "Or say that the fourth prince is like a god with soldiers! Qiu Changkai hid in a small mountain pass. The fourth prince asked us to travel lightly, rush to the front of the fast horse, and rush out in a straight line without stopping. Along the way, he killed a lot of people. Qiu Changkai thought that we had gone far, but he didn't expect us to turn around and come back and kill again. This time, Qiu Changkai was afraid, so he pulled out the camp overnight and moved his nest. ”

"And then?" Xia Wanhua asked next.

"And then?" Sun Ling laughed, his face full of pride.

"The fourth prince has already ordered the scouts to follow them. As soon as they set up camp, our cavalry sent out fifty cavalry, and after a brief fire attack, they withdrew. Qiu Changkai was so frightened that he moved his nest again. This time, the fourth prince led us to attack him again at night. We didn't go again after that, but Qiu Changkai was already scared by the fourth son, and he didn't sleep every night, so he guarded against the son. The fourth son took us to rest for two days, and after recuperating in our spirits, we picked a sunny day and served him directly! Ha ha! Joyfully! It's the first time in a few years that it's so happy! ”

Sun Ling is also an old minister of Great Xia, and being able to kill Qiu Changkai makes him happy. Now he also admires Rong Zhao. A general who practices and sets an example for soldiers can win the hearts of the people.

Rong Zhao sat on the side and drank tea deliciously, the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden, and the fox eyes became more and more romantic.

Xia Wanhua gave him a thumbs up, and the joy in her eyes was about to overflow.

"Well done. Rong Zhao, you helped me get rid of a big problem. Now the Northwest is under our control! I didn't expect it to go so well! I really have to thank you! ”

Putting down the teacup, Rong Zhao stood up and tidied up his clothes. "How can you say such an outrageous thing. Anyway, we have an agreement! ”

"Don't worry, I promised you that it will be fulfilled for you soon."

Xia Wanhua sent everyone down, and told Rong Zhao about Xu Qingfang's army.
