After a long time.

“…… I'm sorry, I wanted to sit for a while, but I didn't expect to fall asleep all of a sudden. ”

Seo Hwa-biao, who opened his eyes, saw Kim Tae-yeon sitting on the trunk opposite him staring at him, and was a little embarrassed.

Oh, yes! Even if Kim Taeyeon doesn't treat herself as a girl, when the two of them are camping in the wild, it should be herself who keeps vigil!

He did this when he was with Hwang Mi-young before, facing Kim Tae-yeon......

Why did I fall asleep myself!

Mortified.

"Mr. Xu came all the way from Jibei, and he hasn't rested for a long time, right?"

Kim Taeyeon said to Seo Hwa-biao with a smile.

Be quiet.

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

It's been a long time since I've seen Kim Taeyeon's smile.

It's still so cute......

Ahem, now is not the time for.

Xu Huabiao tried to calm himself down.

"I really haven't rested much in the past few days, but it doesn't matter, when this side is over, I'll go back and rest for a month, it's okay."

“…… I'm afraid this side of the matter won't end so easily. Kim Taeyeon shook her head gently, holding a branch in her hand, and flicked the fire in front of the two, "I just thought about it a lot, and I realized that the matter between us and Kim Jong Kook is not something that can be solved by a draw." As long as Kim Jong Kook is still in Yanzhou and does not listen to the command of the lord, then we can't help but guard against him. But ......"

"There is no only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, I understand." Seo Hwa-pyo interrupted Kim Tae-yeon's words.

Be quiet.

“…… No wonder Lord Shen Changmin and Yun'er appreciate you so much, you sometimes speak, it really makes sense. Kim Tae-yeon nodded.

"But why do you have to beggar-thy-neighbor?" Xu Huabiao asked rhetorically, "There is someone living next door to your house, so you think he must steal your things?" ”

"But it's not next door, it's all Yanzhou ......"

"Who stipulated that Puyang and Jibei are both Yanzhou, Xiapi is Xuzhou, and Beihai is Qingzhou?" Xu Huabiao asked rhetorically.

"It's not ......" Kim Taeyeon's words were halfway through when she got stuck.

What is the ...... It also makes sense!

"Kim Jong Kook can't say that he is a bad neighbor, you can't instinctively think that he wants to fight because he has a camp under him, right?" Xu Huabiao smiled and asked, "With Puyang and Juancheng, he can afford to raise that trapped camp by himself, why is there any need to fight?" I was in Xiliang before, and I didn't see him fighting with Jiang Hudong's subordinates! ”

"That's Jiang Hudong can stop him!"

"Then wouldn't it be better for you to work hard to help Li Xiuman become someone who can control him?" Xu Huabiao asked rhetorically.

Be quiet.

"You guys, you're afraid of Kim Jong Kook in your bones, but you don't dare to admit it, that's the problem." Xu Huabiao sighed, "If you are really not afraid of him, like me, scurrying between you, who thinks that mine is a threat?" ”

"I've always felt like you're a threat." Kim Taeyeon looked at Xu Huabiao seriously.

Be quiet.

"I didn't see you thinking so highly of me." Xu Huabiao smiled.

"When you were in the coalition camp, you were mixed with Kim Hyung-seok and Park Jin-young, and you had a close relationship with Kim Kwang-so's subordinates, and you even had a confidant with Yang Hyun-suk, and you also had a good relationship with the lord......" Kim Tae-yeon snapped his fingers one by one, "Even the alliance leader Lee Yeon-ho doesn't have such a good connection." ”

“…… You're complimenting me, aren't you? Xu Huabiao suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Did you not wake up?

Hasn't Kim Taeyeon always been reluctant to see herself?

How can it seem that in her place, her own evaluation is higher than that of everyone else combined!

Is today a special day?

Oh! That's right! When I left Jibei before, I had read the calendar and counted the days, and it seemed that it was really tonight......

So, this is a New Year's gift?

"I can't say it's a boast, but I think you're terrible. And no matter how I put on a face for you and sarcastically mock you, you rushed to come over...... If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, I understand this truth. I think I don't have anything worth asking for, perhaps, only the lord's trust in me, and those Qingzhou soldiers. Kim Taeyeon looked serious, "I think you can only have the idea of fighting Qingzhou soldiers." ”

Be quiet.

“…… I told you, I admire you. ”

"I don't believe it."

"But it's true." Xu Huabiao said seriously, "Maybe after the source of your strength awakens, you no longer think of yourself as a woman, but in my opinion, you are still a beautiful woman." My Fair Lady, Gentleman, what's wrong with me!! ”

“…… I'm not ......."

"I've said it all, I'll be you!" Xu Huabiao's words were particularly sincere.

Quiet again.

"So...... You're pestering me, just for this? ”

"Forget it, I can't help it if you don't believe me." Xu Huabiao sighed a little helplessly, "I always thought that you hated me just because you thought I was annoying, but I never thought that you would actually think that I had thoughts about the military power in your hands......"

“……”

"You can rest for a while, too! When the day comes, I'll continue on my way. This Chinese New Year's Eve, let me live quietly by myself. ”

“…… Chinese New Year's Eve? What's so special about this? ”

"Of course it's special! Tomorrow is the new year. And...... Tonight, originally in Luoyang, there will be a grand song party. Xu Huabiao looked to the west.

"Song party?" Kim Taeyeon was stunned, "You arranged it?" ”

"Yes! I have specially prepared more than a dozen songs to have fun with the people of Luoyang City...... Alas, I don't know if everything is going well tonight. ”

Xu Huabiao nodded.

"Then you shouldn't leave Luoyang!"

"If I don't leave Luoyang, I'm afraid Jin Zhongguo will already get into a mess with you, right? Maybe it's not necessarily Quan Baoer who is caught by him now, but you? Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "In case you die, I'll ...... It's going to be sad. ”

“…… Even if I don't die, it has nothing to do with you, right? Kim Taeyeon was surprised by Seo Hwa-biao's words with a strange expression.

"That's different. At least it's important to know that you're alive and well. Xu Huabiao's face was calm.

Yes, star-chasing, who really thinks they can catch up with idols?

It's not adhering to one, if you are well, it will be a sunny heart!

But this mentality ...... Obviously, Kim Taeyeon can't understand it.

She looked at Xu Huabiao's expression, how weird and weird it was.

"You rest." Xu Huabiao didn't bother to explain.

“…… Oh. ”

Kim Taeyeon nodded, leaned against the trunk of the tree next to her, and then closed her eyes.

It's just a little instinctive, and he hugs the cloak behind him to his chest.

At first glance, it looks like it's guarding against something......

Xu Huabiao sighed a little helplessly, picked up a branch from next to the fire, and dialed the firewood, so that the fire burned a little stronger.

It's a little warmer, but it's also quite comfortable.

Xu Huabiao looked at Kim Tae-yeon's face when she closed her eyes and soon her breathing became even, and smiled a little unconsciously.

Alas...... Just looking at it, it's actually pretty good.

At this moment, Xu Huabiao's mind suddenly drifted to the bank of the Huai River, thousands of miles away in the southeast.

What is that reckless girl doing?

When will her foolish lord die! Wait for yourself!

Then, suddenly, Xu Huabiao remembered Li Yunxi again.
