Be quiet.

Xu Huabiao stared at Xu Zhuxian in front of him.

In the few words just now, he already knew that Li Ji-eun and Xu Zhuxian had completely disrupted their expected plans.

The city guards stayed in Luoyang, and the granaries in the palace were not demolished.

If it weren't for the fact that he urged Xu Zhuxian to disperse all the grain and grass in the imperial city to each thousand-person battalion of the city guards before leaving, he wouldn't dare to imagine what it would be like to be in the palace where the Son of Heaven was about to enter now.

I'm going to die!

But Xu Huabiao really couldn't say anything.

Because from the perspective of Xu Zhuxian and Lee Ji-eun, their plan cannot be said to be useless......

The key point is to highlight a poor word.

Your Majesty, we are your loyal servants! We've done so much for you, and we've done our best! We can't do anything without money!

What's more, those close ministers around His Majesty, seeing that Luoyang is poor like this, even if His Majesty wants to appoint them to take over the position of Xu Huabiao's Luoyang Taishou, I'm afraid no one will dare, right?

This is certainly a good way to shake the pot.

It's just that...... Are the two of them really thinking about Xu Huabiao?

Or is it just for their own sake?

"You two are so bold. Kill me, do you think you will live? ”

After sitting in the yamen of the city guard for a long time, Xu Huabiao let out a long sigh.

Finally accepted the reality that he had to accept now.

And, he smelled something else in it.

A taste that Xu Huabiao didn't like very much, but seemed to be very useful.

The smell of conspiracy.

Moreover, this conspiracy, which should be directed at it, was sitting next to him, the female general.

"We get it! But I listened to Lee Ji-eun's words and knew that if it wasn't...... It was too ugly. ”

Seo Joo-hyun had a smile on her face.

She is actually more worried than Xu Huabiao.

Whether it is her or Li Zhien, they are not stupid, they all know that the methods arranged by Xu Huabiao before are completely a way to break the kettle, forcing the Son of Heaven to continue to hand over Luoyang to him for management.

It's just that they don't want that.

After all, Luoyang City now has their efforts in this ruined appearance, and if the jade is burned, they will also feel distressed.

That's why they discussed the current way to deal with it.

But this is disobedience after all! Xu Huabiao wants to really pursue it......

"Where's Lee Yun-hee?"

Xu Huabiao changed the subject.

The wood is already in the boat, and there is no need to investigate the reason.

At least, when the Son of Heaven was still in Luoyang, he couldn't be investigated.

"Take those guards and children selected by you and go into the mountains to hunt."

“…… Well. ”

Xu Huabiao's brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded again.

And so it was......

Li Yunxi was sent to a place of absolute safety.

She's still a little calculating.

But Li Zhien, this girl, can she use it herself?

Such an idea suddenly appeared in Xu Huabiao's mind.

"Do you have any other orders, sir?"

"Go and meet Your Majesty in Miyagi. After all, you have been the captain of Luoyang City for a long time, and you can be regarded as guarding Luoyang for Your Majesty during this time. ”

Since Xu Huabiao had already guessed what Li Zhien meant, naturally, he planned to go with her wishes.

“…… What do you mean, my lord? ”

"It's not interesting, Your Majesty has brought back less than ten guards from Chang'an this time. Although you are only the commander of Luoyang now, you are actually the commander of the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, and you always want to see Your Majesty. Xu Huabiao said with a smile.

Be quiet.

"Yes."

Xu Zhuxian's face suddenly became ugly.

She understood in an instant that she, the captain, seemed to be a long-term lieutenant.

Xu Huabiao didn't say anything, got up, and left the yamen of the city guards.

The car on the Son of Heaven's side happened to completely enter the palace at this time, and the people on both sides of the road also dispersed.

"Your Excellency, are you back?"

“……”

"Don't be angry, sir......"

"Follow me."

Xu Huabiao glanced at Li Zhien, who was waiting for him at the gate of the yamen and didn't know when, didn't say anything, and set off directly towards the Taishou Mansion.

Not long after, too guarded in the house.

"Lord Taishou, you are angry......"

"It's none of your business here, you go out."

"Taishou-sama!"

"Isn't my word completely bad?" Xu Huabiao squinted his eyes and looked at Li Duoxi, who was there with a worried face.

As soon as he entered the city, Xu Huabiao went to the yamen of the city guards, and Li Duoxi returned to the Taishou Mansion.

found that the city was different from what they expected, but it was not only Xu Huabiao.

Li Duoxi took advantage of Xu Huabiao's time at Xu Zhuxian's place to sort out the affairs in the Taishou Mansion first.

“…… The subordinates retired. ”

Li Duoxi glanced at Li Ji-eun, who followed Xu Huabiao in, with complaining eyes, and exited the hall.

"You're really bold."

Xu Huabiao looked at Li Zhien, and the expression on his face was a little dim.

"Your Excellency, please stop your anger, I am also thinking about you, my lord......"

"I understand! Like me, you feel that Seo Joo-hyun is out of control, so you want to replace her with your own. Xu Huabiao's eyes narrowed, "But do I have my own people to use?" ”

"But if I propose that Xu Zhuxian lead the troops out of Luoyang, and she refuses, the situation will be even more difficult to deal with than now, right?" Li Ji-eun shook his head seriously.

"Nonsense! Our biggest enemy now is the Xiliang pursuers who came from Chang'an without knowing when they were coming! ”

"No, my lord, without Jiang Hudong in Xiliangbing, it is just a plate of loose sand, and there is no need to worry about it at all. Our biggest enemy now is the useless bureaucrats in Miyagi who have nothing and think they are rich. Don't you think so, my lord? ”

“……”

"Even, my lord, there's one more thing you may have overlooked."

"What?"

"In this group of important ministers who fled back from Chang'an with His Majesty, is everyone monolithic?" Li Zhien smiled, "They haven't shown discord yet, it's because you are too strong, let them have the same hatred." But as long as you show that you don't have the ability and willingness to interfere in the government's affairs...... They will make a fuss themselves. When the time comes......"

"Stop."

Xu Huabiao looked at Li Zhien's eyes and became very cautious.

He suddenly felt a chill on his forehead.

Because he thinks what Lee Ji-eun said is very right.

In history, such things have happened many times, but it is not for people of this dynasty to know......

"Don't worry, my lordship, my loyalty to you is evident!" Lee Ji-eun's face had a determined expression.

“…… Do you think I'll believe it? ”

"I'm ...... in an adult," Lee Ji-eun took a deep breath, "I saw the breath of a king." ”

“…… Don't hurt me. Xu Huabiao immediately shook his head.

This time, not only did I get a chill on my back, but cold sweat came out.

"This is a secret room, out of my mouth, into the ears of adults, how can I say that it hurts people?" Li Zhien shook his head, "My Li family has a secret qi observation technique, and my sister and I have studied this technique quite well. Doesn't the fact that we have chosen to work under adults show that we all have high hopes for them? ”

“…… I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in that. ”

"It's too early to say that, but trust me, my lord, one day...... Yes. ”

“…… Chenqiao mutiny? ”

“…… What? Chen Qiao? Where? ”

"Ahem, when I didn't say it." Xu Huabiao cleared his throat, "If you have the spirit of a king, don't mention it in the future." ”

"My lord, the Son of Heaven has sent it to your lord's hand like this, it is a God-given opportunity, and your lord must not lose it! People like Lee so-man......"

"Don't say it." Xu Huabiao shook his head.

Be quiet.

"How much ability you have, and how much ambition you think." Xu Huabiao looked at Li Zhien, whose face was suffocated by his words, "I don't even have a person under my command who can take over the Luoyang City Guards from Xu Zhuxian, what kind of God-given opportunity do you tell me?" The God-given crisis is pretty much the same! ”

"It's just a city guard ......"

"But? You know, power is fought out of the barrel of a gun! Xu Huabiao taught Li Zhien a hard lesson, "Without the most powerful army in the world, you told me that you want to control the world?" Do you deserve it? ”

Quiet again.

This time the silence lasted for twenty or thirty minutes.

"My lord, please bow down to Zhi's grace."

Li Zhien, who was sitting in the lower seat in a regular manner, stood up and bowed directly to Xu Huabiao to the ground.

“…… What are you doing? ”

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

He noticed the change in that title.

Lord?

She's ...... was suppressed by his own royal spirit, and bowed his head?

What did you say?
