At night, Feng Qingyun and Li Xian were waiting outside the door of the Foxconn store, Li Shuangyu stopped the two of them, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Two, my family said that he has something to do now, and he will not see any guests, if the two of you have any urgent matter, it is better to tell the slave family first, and the slave family will tell my family." ”

Li Xian was unhappy when he heard this: "He Wang Xiaolai is just a five-grade servant, but I am a dignified general from the first rank, why, do you have to look at his face and act?" ”

Feng Qingyun still took care of some superficial politeness, and when he heard this, he arched his hand at Li Shuangyu and said, "In that case, it's troublesome girl." ”

So saying, the two went together.

Li Shuangyu looked at the backs of the two, shook his head, closed the door and entered the courtyard.

In the backyard, Wang Xiaolai was listening to Hongxiang explain what had happened in Sui Yang in the past month. (Through the spies of the Guangling Palace, the common people all knew about Lu Gongyou's death)

After listening to Hongxiang's narration, Wang Xiaolai sneered: "It's a good calendar, it's really shameless and skinless." ”

Hongxiang looked at Wang Xiaolai worriedly: "Childe, have you really decided to take command of the expedition?" ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Sure." ”

"But aren't you most afraid of that?" Red incense said.

Wang Xiaolai snorted, and then turned his head to look at Hongxiang: "Sister, let me ask you, do you have anyone you want to protect?" ”

Hongxiang glanced at Wang Xiaolai with a blushing face and hummed softly.

Wang Xiaolai said: "The person I want to protect is Your Majesty, so I want to be in charge." ”

Hongxiang was surprised when she heard Wang Xiaolai's words, and looked up at Wang Xiaolai: "Son, you..."

Wang Xiaolai said: "Do you think I've changed?" ”

Hongxiang nodded: "You never admitted it before." ”

Wang Xiaolai pointed to his chest and said, "That's because my heart has never been correct before, but now it's different." ”

Hongxiang muttered softly: "Didn't you set it up?" ”

At this moment, Li Shuangyu walked over and said, "My lord, everyone has been sent away." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted, stood up and said, "Shuangyu, please go to Echo Valley tomorrow, find Jiuchai, and ask her to help send all the things I made in Echo Valley." ”

Li Shuangyu looked at Wang Xiaolai: "Is it the hot air balloon and gunpowder you said before?" ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No, that thing hasn't been developed yet, and it is something else that goes into battle in a hurry, and I can't grasp the killing strength." ”

Li Shuangyu hesitated for a moment, then changed the topic and asked, "My lord, are you really going to be in command?" That was Zhao Sui, who even Lu Hou Ye had defeated. ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "So what? ”

"I'm worried, you're not Zhao Sui's opponent." Li Shuangyu said.

Wang Xiaolai replied: "That's why I want Jiuchai to send all the things I made." ”

When Wang Xiao finished speaking, he heard a knock outside the door again, frowned at the time, and said, "Why is there still someone knocking on the door?" ”

Li Shuangyu stood up: "I'll take a look." ”

Saying that, he walked over and opened the door, and outside the door, there was Liu Maolin, the old minister, who was holding Zhao Qi, the grandson of the late old general Zhao Yuanche.

"After a lot of work, Liu Maolin asked to see him." It is rare for Liu Maolin to put his attitude so low, you must know that his identity is the first of the hundred officials, and Wang Xiaolai is just a five-grade servant.

When he heard Liu Maolin's self-reported name, Li Shuangyu was taken aback: "You, you are Liu Maolin, the prime minister of the dynasty." ”

Liu Maolin nodded: "Exactly." ”

Li Shuangyu hesitated a little, Wang Xiao said, no matter who came to see him, he was not allowed to come in, but the person in front of him was Liu Maolin, you let Li Shuangyu stop him, to be honest, Li Shuangyu really didn't have that guts.

So much so that Li Shuangyu, who lowered his head, was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing this, Liu Maolin said: "You just go to Wang Xiaolai and say that I am here, and I have something important to discuss with him." ”

Li Shuangyu was embarrassed and said: "In that case, please trouble Lao Xiangguo, you will wait here." ”

Liu Maolin nodded.

Li Shuangyu turned around, and as soon as he went in, Wang Xiaolai stood up with a sigh: "Old Xiangguo? Come in, forget it, I'll go myself. ”

As he spoke, he stumbled to the door, saw that it was Liu Maolin, and hurriedly greeted him.

At the end of the long street where the Foxconn store is located, Feng Qingyun and Li Xian turned out, and seeing Liu Maolin being greeted in, the faces of the two of them showed displeasure.

Li Xian was even more annoyed: "What does this Wang Xiaolai mean!" ”

Feng Qingyun sighed: "General, isn't what he means obviously, he clearly looks down on you, it is true that Liu Maolin is the head of the civil officials, but now in Daxing City, you are the head of the military attachés." ”

Li Xian, who had not snatched the handsome position, was angry, and when he heard Feng Qingyun's words, he was even more annoyed: "This bastard, why did Your Majesty choose him as the boss, hateful, hateful." ”

"Alas, it's useless to say so much, General, let's go." Feng Qingyun deliberately said this, which made Li Xian's resentment towards Wang Xiaolai even deeper.

This can be regarded as indirectly leading to the discord between Li Xian and Wang Xiaolai in the future, and when Wang Xiaolai was fighting on the front line, he privately withheld supplies, which almost led to the catastrophe of the destruction of the counterinsurgency army.

Of course, that's all for later.

Wang Xiaolai greeted Liu Maolin into the courtyard, ordered Hongxiang to serve tea, and helped Lao Xiangguo to sit down, Wang Xiaolai asked: "I don't know what Lao Xiangguo visited late at night, what is the so-called?" ”

Liu Maolin looked at Wang Xiaolai faintly: "I came this time, mainly to inquire for Your Majesty and you, how sure are you about the commander-in-command to conquer Zhao Sui?" ”

Wang Xiaolai lowered his head when he heard this: "Forty percent." ”

"So low?" Liu Maolin frowned.

Wang Xiaolai snorted: "If there is a hot air balloon and gunpowder, I am eighty percent sure, but those two things can't be put into actual combat now." ”

"Wang Xiaolai, military affairs are not child's play, you are only forty percent sure, how to fight!" Liu Maolin was anxious.

Wang Xiaolai looked up at Liu Maolin: "Old Xiangguo, Your Majesty, do you think the same as you?" ”

Liu Maolin was stunned when he heard this, and only nodded for a long time: "Hmm." ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Well, since this is the case, I will not say secret words, to be honest, forty percent of the certainty, that is what I said, for Zhao Sui, my grasp is even less than twenty percent." ”

When Wang Xiaolai said this, Liu Maolin became even more anxious.

Wang Xiaolai said: "Even Duke Lu was defeated by Zhao Sui, and I have always been a defeated general under Duke Lu, how can I have a high winning rate against him." ”

"But you promised Your Majesty so much during the day..." Liu Maolin said.

Wang Xiaolai looked at Liu Maolin faintly: "Could it be that the old Xiangguo thinks that I shouldn't ask Your Majesty to take command?" ”

Liu Maolin nodded: "Although it hurts to say this, it is true." ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Okay, it's really hurtful, I am indeed a little impulsive in the matter of being in charge, but you have to believe in the old Xiangguo, my decision was not made in a hurry, I thought all the way when I came, and I dared to say it to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Maolin said: "The Eight Sages King and Gong You have both recommended you, I don't know why the two of them think that you have the ability to turn the tide, but Wang Xiaolai, you are a smart person, you should know what the situation of Sui Yang is now, it can be said that this is Your Majesty's last chance, if you are in charge, you can only defeat Zhao Sui, because if you lose again, Your Majesty will not be able to afford to lose." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "I know..."

Liu Maolin looked at the calm Wang Xiaolai and blushed: "You don't know, you completely regard this as a gamble, an inconsequential gamble, do you know that before Gongyou had an accident, there were still many states and counties of Qinwang's army coming, but when Gongyou had an accident, these Qinwang troops immediately disappeared without a trace, do you know what this means?" ”

"They made grass on the wall, and waited to see if it was the wind in Daxing City or the wind in Guangling Mansion." Wang Xiaolai said.

Liu Maolin said: "I know that you still dare to ask Your Majesty to take command!" ”

Wang Xiaolai looked at Liu Maolin and said: "Old Xiangguo, I know what you are worried about now, aren't you just worried that I am just a whim and will ruin the big thing in Suiyang, but I only have one thing to say." ”

"What?"

"Your Majesty needs me now."

"That's not a reason for you to do it."

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "Although I am not completely sure of Zhao Sui, I have the hole cards that must win." Old Xiangguo, say so, are you relieved? ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolai also raised his head and looked at Liu Maolin.
