In the middle of May 174 of the imperial calendar, Li Yuxuan, who had been away from Luoping Plains for more than two months, finally returned to his "territory".

As soon as he got off the boat, before he could take a look at Li Yuxuan, a coastal city in Bahrain, he was pulled back to the city guard mansion by Zheng Ru, who was greeted at the port.

After entering the mansion, Zheng Ru didn't wait for Li Yuxuan to sit down, and shouted: "Family master, you are finally back, in the past few days, Lord Keqing has been rushing to me by several scouts a day, and they all asked me when you will come back, which made me anxious, and I don't know how to reply." ”

"Is there any situation?" Li Yuxuan was a little nervous in his heart, and it seemed that even Xu Ruoyu couldn't handle the matter, it really should be a little tricky.

"It's a war!" Zheng Ru gasped for a long time before he said this.

"When?" As soon as he heard that there was a war, Li Yuxuan's whole person calmed down, which is a quality that a professional soldier has. Only by doing this will you be able to be fearless, observe the surrounding shapes, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and the enemy, and make the right deployment to defeat the enemy.

"On May 8, Feng Tianyang's army advanced towards Fengxiang and confronted Gongye Ruiliang's Second Army in the territory of the former kingdom for several days. Gongye Ruiliang relied on the favorable terrain and avoided the battle, and it was obvious that Gongye Ruiliang was the central lord and faction that was inclined to Fengxiang. ”

"I expected this for a long time!By the way, is there any movement in Bas'er?" Li Yuxuan didn't care much about the confrontation between Feng Tianyang and Gongye Ruiliang, but he seemed quite interested in Bas'er.

"Basr? It seems that there is no movement, I haven't heard of Basr's military operations!" Zheng Ru didn't know why Li Yuxuan would suddenly want to go to Basr's side.

"No way, it stands to reason that Basr should have done something. It had been almost a week since the windy army moved south on May 8. Linghu Yurui should also have some movement. Did I overestimate him, or did he have a more clever strategy? Li Yuxuan ignored the doubtful gazes that everyone threw at him, and muttered to himself.

Li Yuxuan, who couldn't figure it out for a long time, gave up this mystery that gave him a headache, and his eyes fell on Zheng Ru again: "Is that all?"

Li Yuxuan knew Xu Ruoyu's ability very well, if it was just the matter of raising troops to the south on a windy day, he would definitely not let him send a few scouts to Bahrain to listen to his itinerary a day, and there was obviously something more serious.

"No, there is even more striking, the combined forces of Dzungar and Ya'an launched an invasion of Atbury the day before, on May 13. ”

"What, didn't Jungar just sign a border peace treaty with Tiermu? How could it dare to invade Atbury, Tiermu's ally, just a few months later?" said Zheng Jing, who was familiar with the entire southern political pattern.

"Is there any movement on the part of Tiermu?" asked Li Yuyang.

"Strangely, Tiermu only made a diplomatic protest after learning of the invasion of Atbury by the Jungar and Ya'an coalitions, and has not yet seen any practical action against it. And to everyone's surprise, the protest clearly stated that Tiermu would not intervene militarily in the war. ”

"Isn't this tantamount to acquiescing in the invasion of Jungar and Ya'an on their ally Atbury?" Zheng Jing's expression at this moment could only be described as dumbfounded.

"yes! I don't know what's going on!" Zheng Ru didn't bother to think about these questions now.

"It's just that some people have done something in the back, it seems that there must be someone superior in Zhungeer to guide you!" Li Yuxuan said thoughtfully.

"Master?" the crowd wondered.

"Yes, it's a master. You should know about the 'Black Cloak Horse Thieves'!" Li Yuxuan glanced at everyone present.

"Of course, I've heard that this group of horse thieves is said to be the largest group of horse thieves in the south, numbering more than 10,000 people, and they are all cavalry, and their leader is nicknamed 'Black Cloak'. He wears a black cape all year round, and always wears a black hood over his head. Its range of activity has always been in the border areas of Dzungar and Tirmu. Does this have anything to do with what kind of master of Zungar?" Although Zheng Ru knew a little about the situation of the "Black Cloak Horse Thief Group", he didn't understand what connection it had with the "master".

"Actually, as early as a year ago, I specifically investigated the 'Black Cloak Horse Thieves', and sent several spies to Jungar, Tiermu to find out about the situation of this horse thief group, and a rather strange phenomenon caught my attention. ”

"What phenomenon?" Zheng Jing's interest was also aroused.

"Before the appearance of this horse thief group, there had never been a large-scale horse thief group on the border between Jungar and Tirmu. The 'Black Cloak Horse Thieves' came out of nowhere three years ago. No one across the border knows where they came from or how they got to this area. ”

"And this kind of thing, do they fall from the sky, or do they grow out of the earth? Zheng Ru's words made Zheng Jing and the others laugh lightly.

"There's one more thing that's even more interesting. All the raids of the 'Black Cloak Horse Thieves' were on the side of Tirm, and never a single one took place in the territory of Zungar. At first, Tiermu sent a small force to pursue them, but to their great surprise, not only did they not destroy them, but they also eliminated them. After that, Tiermu gathered a large army three times to encircle and suppress him. But before each siege began, the entire group of horse thieves disappeared like a mist in the area, making every attempt of Tilmu's army in vain. ”

"I see!" Zheng Jing began to have a general understanding of the whole thing.

"Understand, what? Zheng Ru still habitually calls Zheng Jing "Zheng Boss".

"The 'Black Cloak Horse Thieves' must have been dressed up by the regular army of Jungar. It constantly harassed Tiermu's borders with the aim of weakening Tiermu's national power and demoralizing his army. ”

Li Yuxuan nodded approvingly at Zheng Jing, confirming his conclusion.

"If that's the case, then another thing doesn't make sense!" Li Yuyang obviously had his own doubts.

Li Yuxuan smiled and motioned for his younger brother to boldly express his opinion.

"Since we can think of the 'Black Cloak Horse Thieves' is formed by the regular army of Jungar. There is no reason why Tiermu, who is the person concerned, should not know! Now that Dzungar has joined forces with Ya'an to attack its allies, isn't it just giving it a chance to take revenge? How can it say that it will not intervene in this war?"

"In fact, Tiermu's army has long been involved in this war, but it did not win, and the losses must have been not small, and it may even shake its foundation. Do you remember the so-called border friction between Tiermu and Dzungar earlier this year? Based on the current situation, it will definitely not be a 'friction', but a war. But after three years of 'weak tactics' in Zungar, Tiermu had clearly fallen behind in the battle with Zungar. In this way, it was no longer able to prevent the invasion of its allies by Jungar. It can be said that the current situation of Tiermu and Fengxiang is very similar, and they are already strong in the outside. ”

When Li Yuxuan said this, everyone understood the cause and effect of the whole thing, and in this short quarter of an hour of conversation, Li Yuxuan's wisdom and foresight once again conquered the hearts of all the subordinates present. Everyone is proud to have such a great leader.

Just when everyone thought that everything had been "solved", Li Yuxuan suddenly burst out laughing inexplicably, attracting everyone's attention.

When Li Yuxuan stopped laughing, his first words startled everyone.

"We can cross the water next month and head in the direction of Kefield!"

"Zheng Jing, the affairs of the navy will be left to you. I'm going to rush back to Sugal as soon as I can, and what I just said will never be allowed to leak out!"

Li Yuxuan's last sentence was addressed to everyone present.

On May 19, 174 years of the imperial calendar, Li Yuxuan and his party rushed back to Suger City, which had been absent for a long time. Xu Ruoyu, Li Fang and others had already received the news and greeted the return of the head of the family outside Suger's West Gate.

"Master of the family!" Seeing Li Yuxuan riding his horse to the west gate, Xu Ruoyu and the others hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one knee, welcoming Li Yuxuan's return with the most solemn etiquette of a martial artist. And the hundreds of guards behind Xu Ruoyu and the others, as well as the soldiers on the city wall, all knelt down to salute them, and the momentum was amazing for a while.

Liu Qingwu, who was sitting on Li Yuyang's horse, knew the identity of Li Yuxuan and others these days. But seeing such a spectacular scene, he still unconsciously shrank into Li Yuyang's arms behind him. After all, she had never experienced such a situation since she grew up in a brothel, and her face, which was not very ruddy, was even more pale at the moment. And Li Yuyang, who was sitting behind her, was like a deer at this time. This is not because of the huge momentum in front of him, but he has never been close to a girl and Liu Qingwu is stuck together at the moment, even if he is separated by a layer of clothes, he can feel the smooth skin of the girl in his arms like brocade.

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Li Yuxuan's mouth, seeing that his troops could have such a majestic and neat military appearance, he was also deeply relieved to be away for more than two months.

"Get up! I have worked hard in my absence! Just listening to the loud voice proves that our army is more powerful than before, and I am very relieved!"

When Xu Ruoyu and the others heard Li Yuxuan's approval, they all smiled and stood up one after another. It was not until this moment that everyone noticed Li Yuyang behind Li Yuxuan, who was staging a "wonderful show" at the moment. He had never blushed, and now his face was flushed, and he was at a loss for Liu Qingwu in his arms.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them at once, and then they burst into laughter, and the atmosphere that had been slightly strict disappeared. Sitting on the horse with an embarrassed face facing everyone's "attention", in addition to scratching his scalp, Li Yuyang really couldn't find a better way to cover up.

At this moment, at the city gate, Bai Ruolan rode the "Snow Dragon Horse" all the way to Li Yuxuan's side, looking at Li Yuxuan. The two-month parting feelings quietly communicated in the eyes of the two. Then the two dismounted at the same time, Bai Ruolan's petite body threw herself into Li Yuxuan's arms, and Li Yuxuan kissed Bai Ruolan's hair dotingly. Compared with Li Yuyang, these two are much bolder.

For Li Yuxuan and Ruolan, all the "homeland" generals have long been surprised, and now they are most concerned about who Li Yuyang is in his arms at the moment, and what does it have to do with Li Yuyang.

Qingqing, who was originally shrunk in Li Yuyang's arms, exclaimed when she saw Bai Ruolan at first sight.

How could there be such a wonderful girl, even the top girl I had seen in the brothel before could not be compared. The peerless appearance made Qingqing ashamed. In fact, Liu Qingwu is also a very beautiful girl, and you can know from the appreciative eyes of everyone that she is also quite outstanding. But Liu Qingwu, who has been beaten and scolded in that environment since she was a child, has a natural inferiority complex. In her eyes, these "big shots" in front of her are so unattainable.

"Who is that little girl? It can't be the concubine you brought back, does it look so cute!" Bai Ruolan bit Li Yuxuan's ear and said.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Seeing Ruolan's slightly frowning brows, Li Yuxuan hurriedly denied it, "Isn't it cute? I can't see it, there is no more lovely girl in the world than my Ruolan!"

"Flesh numb!" Ruolan gently slapped Li Yuxuan's chest and said, "You're embarrassed to say, I'm embarrassed to listen!"

In fact, as soon as she saw the situation between Li Yuyang and that girl at the moment, how could Ruolan, who was smart in ice and snow, not know the relationship between the two. The reason why she said this was just a joke between lovers.

"I'm sorry to listen, I look at you like a peacock proudly, and your tail is up to the sky!" Li Yuxuan pinched the tip of Ruolan's nose and said teasingly.

Although Li Yuxuan's intimate behavior with Ruolan did not attract everyone's attention, it surprised Liu Qingwu in Li Yuyang's arms. After nearly a month of getting along, I have never seen Li Yuxuan smile so happily. Li Yuxuan has always been deep and strict in her impression.

During the days on the ship, I could see him standing on the bow of the ship and gazing at the blue water and blue sky almost every day, looking so wise and profound. His eyes are always so complicated, he can see a lot in his eyes, but he can't figure out which one really belongs to him. As a younger brother, Li Yuyang is much more "simple", his eyes are always firm, and any thoughts and moods in his heart can be detected from his face. By his side, his heart felt calm and peaceful, he was able to give himself a sense of security, and Qingqing couldn't feel the dangerous aura like Li Yuxuan in him.

Li Yuxuan, a dangerous person with an uncertain temperament, fearsome, cold, and elusive. This is Qingqing's comment on Li Yuxuan. In her eyes, there may be many girls who will be attracted to him, but there will never be a girl who dares to approach him, even if he is so good, regardless of appearance or career. But today, the facts are in front of her, Li Yuxuan, who has always been regarded as a dangerous person, has such a girlfriend, and may even be a wife. The movements and eyes between the two show that Li Yuxuan is almost infatuated with the girl in his arms, which is simply a miracle.

"Who is that girl? It's so beautiful! Young Master Yuyang!" Qingqing couldn't help but whisper to Li Yuyang behind him.

"Bai Ruolan, the fiancée of the head of the family, is also my future sister-in-law. Li Yuyang's words confirmed Qingqing's guess.

"Is she very good?" A man like Li Yuxuan, what kind of person would the girl he doted on be, Qingqing's curious personality at the moment was fully revealed.

"Yes, I think so. Compared to the vast majority of men, she is definitely very good. He is the tax collector of our 'homeland', and he is in charge of the entire Luo Pingyuan tax business. And she is also the manager of the Bai family's family property. Li Yuyang's eyes were obviously full of pride and pride. Yes, whether it is his brother Li Yuxuan or his future sister-in-law Bai Ruolan, he has a kind of worship that is almost blind.

"The Bai clan, is it the largest pearl trading family in the southern part of the continent?" Bai Ruolan's identity surprised Qingqing. The wealth of the Bai family and the huge family industry are unimaginable to her since she was a child in a brothel. But she had heard that if the entire southern part of the continent selected rich families, then Carol's Li family and Bai family would definitely be among them. Qingqing thought of this, and suddenly realized that Li Yuxuan and Li Yuyang were both surnamed Li.

"Yes, I heard that she took over all the family business when she was fourteen years old, and her performance is very good!" replied Li Yuyang.

"Young Master Yuyang, are you a member of the Li family, which is famous for dealing in grain and horses?"

"The head of the family is the current patriarch of our family. ”

Qingqing stopped talking, her eyes stared at Li Yuxuan and Bai Ruolan and the two never left.

What a perfect pair! If I have a background like hers, then I and Young Master Yuyang...... No, it's impossible, I'm just a little maid bought back by others, a little subordinate, how can I compare with others. Now that he is in this kind of public, he has exceeded his duty to be like this with Young Master Yu Yang.

Thinking of this, Qingqing struggled to jump off the horse, Li Yuyang didn't know what she was thinking at this time, thinking that she was as embarrassed as himself, so he hurriedly carried her to the ground and dismounted himself. But what made everyone and Li Yuyang feel strange was that Qingqing, who got off the horse, actually took a few steps back, crossed his hands in front of him, lowered his head, and stood there silently, making everyone baffled.

"What's going on?" Bai Ruolan, who was still drowning in Li Yuxuan's arms at this time, asked puzzled.

"Alas, this little girl's inferiority complex is here again!" Li Yuxuan, who was very observant, said in a word.

"Isn't she Yu Yang's girlfriend?"

"Where, my stupid brother has never dealt with a girl in his life. I'm afraid he doesn't understand that he has fallen in love with this little girl. After a period of observation and understanding of his younger brother, Li Yuxuan is now 100% sure that Yuyang is in love with Qingqing.

"Oh, yes, listen to your tone, our family master must have a lot of experience in this area, so please ask the family master for more advice!" Bai Ruolan began to raise the bar with Li Yuxuan again.

Li Yuxuan has a way to deal with anyone, but for his little wife, he has always been "defeated and retreated, and he can't form an army". There is no way, Li Yuxuan can only come up with his killer weapon.

Smiled at Ruolan Yin Yin and said, "Ruolan, if you make this mouth bad again, I'm going to use a trick!"

"What trick?" Bai Ruolan stared at Li Yuxuan vigilantly, and her body couldn't help but want to keep a distance from the "dangerous person" in front of her, but where could she break free from Li Yuxuan's embrace.

Li Yuxuan nullified his mouth and tapped his finger on Ruolan's cherry lips. Ruolan blushed suddenly, buried in Li Yuxuan's arms and didn't dare to raise her head, but she still muttered a sentence in her mouth.

"Big bad!"

In the end, amid the noise of everyone, Li Yuxuan returned to his own mansion.
