"Lord Xu, you're back!"

"Hmm."

Xu Huabiao smiled and nodded.

Then, with Li Xiuman in front of him, a hug.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang City, the courtesy between the two was quite frank.

"It's hard to rush back all the way, Lord Xu wait a minute, wait for me to prepare some thin wine, and wash the dust for the adults!"

"You don't have to bother so much, do you?"

"No trouble! No hassle! Lord Seo struck the rebellious Kim Kwang-so this time......"

"Oh! It's because of this! Xu Huabiao smiled, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Besides, some people want to see you again!" Li Xiuman continued with a smile.

"Someone? Who? ”

"Park Jin-young."

“…… He came to Xuchang? ”

"yes!" Li Xiuman's face was full of confidence, "Attacked by Kim Jong Kook, if he doesn't ask me for help and shelter, who else can he find!" ”

“……”

Xu Huabiao didn't answer.

This dude, swelled again.

Anyway, this guy really likes to swell!

To put it nicely, it's called true temperament.

It's hard to hear......

Forget it, Xu Huabiao doesn't want to slander Li Xiu in his stomach anymore.

His little swearing, complaining, and the like were all on the edge of that river, and he finished venting to Kim Kwang-so.

Recently, he has been very peaceful and Buddhist.

Even Xian Enjing refused the invitation to come to Luoyang with him, and Xu Huabiao was not in a hurry.

It's really unnecessary to be annoyed by Li Xiuman's expansion.

It's just that he wasn't annoyed by Li Xiuman's place, but there were some other things that made Xu Huabiao lose sleep that night.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Huabiao got up from the bed.

packed up and changed into the official uniform that I saw for the first time when I returned home last night.

Captain.

Speaking of which, he is now the third biggest man in the world.

Second only to the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister.

But he himself didn't have this self-consciousness at all.

Wearing that complicated official uniform, he really has to be awkward, how awkward.

But also had to wear it.

Because today, he is finally going to see the Son of Heaven.

He had finally finished cleaning up, and the carriage that picked him up had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

"Lord Xu didn't rest very well yesterday?"

“…… Prime Minister? What are you doing here? ”

Xu Huabiao, who opened the carriage curtain and was about to get into the car, was stunned when he saw Li Xiuman actually sitting inside.

"After all, this is the first time you have met Your Majesty, Lord Xu, and I ...... It's better to be accompanied by you. ”

"That's right...... That's Prime Minister Lao. ”

"Where." Li Xiuman shook his head, "But, Lord Xu, can you not call me by my official position......

"Then don't call me Lord Xu, okay? In the past, you called me sir, and I called you general, isn't it good? Xu Huabiao said with a smile.

"This ...... It's good. Li Xiuman groaned for a moment and nodded.

There was silence in the carriage.

Towards the palace of Xuchang City, gallop away.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

The curtain was lifted.

A man poked his head in.

"Huh? Prime Minister! Why are you too? ”

"I went into the palace with Lord Taiwei to see Your Majesty, what?"

"Oh! Oh! All right! Two adults, please. ”

The person who raised the curtain hurriedly lowered it.

The carriage continued onwards.

“…… This guy is new just now? ”

"Recommended by the Son of Heaven's close ministers, the current commander of His Majesty's guards, is called Zhou Mi."

“…… It sounds familiar. ”

"Sir has heard of him?" Li Xiuman was stunned by Xu Huabiao's words, "I have never heard of him before." But since His Majesty wants him to be the commander of the guards...... Then he'll do it. ”

"And then? He was going to get me in trouble, right? ”

“……”

"Thank you, General." Xu Huabiao laughed.

"Actually, I want to make trouble for you, not necessarily what Your Majesty meant......," Li Xiuman said more.

"yes, I understand." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "By the way, since the current commander of the guards is this person named Zhou Mi, what about Xu Zhuxian?" ”

"General Xu is now in Chenliu, as Lord Shen Changmin's deputy."

"Chen Liu?" Xu Huabiao was stunned for a moment, and took a deep look at Li Xiuman.

"If Mr. Xu still wants her to go back to Luoyang, you can go and tell her yourself, if she wants...... Li will not be forced to stay. ”

"Forget it. After all, she is the life of a general, and going back to Luoyang is also a waste of her talent...... Let her follow the Prime Minister to fight the world! Xu Huabiao waved his hand.

Quiet again.

"Then so-and-so will replace General Xu Zhuxian, thank you, Mr."

"No, I don't. It's hard for you to trust her, she ...... It's also a master. ”

"What is there to trust General Xu Zhuxian?" Li Xiuman smiled and shook his head, "It's just that you gave her to me like this, your soldiers in Luoyang, I'm afraid no one can bring it, right?" ”

"Then let's talk about it, you will lend me Kim Taeyeon?"

“……”

"You don't want to, so what's polite to me!" Xu Huabiao smiled, "It's okay, this time I went to Xuzhou, I still collected some people, although it is not possible to lead troops into battle, but it is enough to defend Luoyang City." ”

"Hmm." Li Xiuman nodded and stopped talking.

The chatting time between the two has also come to an end.

For the carriage had stopped, and it was time for them to enter the palace to face the king.

Getting out of the carriage, the two followed the guards, all the way around the two palaces, and came to a palace that didn't look big.

It should be regarded as a harem.

Seeing Xu Huabiao here, inside, there seems to be something else.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has a decree that only Lord Taiwei will be allowed to enter alone."

The chamberlain at the gate of the palace stopped Xu Huabiao and Li Xiuman and said.

"One person in there?" Li Xiuman's brows furrowed slightly.

glanced at Xu Huabiao.

"That'...... I'll just go in by myself. Xu Huabiao nodded.

"I'll wait here for you, sir?"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

"It's fine."

Li Xiuman shook his head very seriously.

"There's General Law." Xu Huabiao smiled, and then owed to the waiter.

The chamberlain pushed open the door of the palace, and Xu Huabiao walked in.

Then, he was shocked.

There were some strange noises coming out.

Xu Huabiao's face changed.

"My lord, please do this."

The chamberlain made a gesture of please to the temple.

"Your Majesty, is it inconvenient now?"

Xu Huabiao had no intention of going inside.

"Your Majesty means to ask you to go in now."

“……”

Xu Huabiao hesitated, took a deep breath, followed the waiter, and walked into the inner hall.

Really.

On the dragon bed surrounded by tulle, those strange sounds sounded.

Xu Huabiao looked at his nose and his mouth and heart, and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, Captain Xu has arrived."

"Got it......"

The voice of the Son of Heaven rang out.

Sounds a little tired.

Nonsense, when you do this kind of thing, no matter how good your physical strength is, I'm afraid you'll be panting, right?

After waiting for a while, the voice on the dragon bed stopped.

For a while, I was all at ease.

The curtain opens.

The Son of Heaven, dressed in an inner robe, walked out.

glanced coldly at Xu Huabiao, who was standing outside.

"You are Xu Huabiao?"

"It's me."

Xu Huabiao still lowered his head.

Didn't look at anything.

"Look up, I want to see what the man who made me a loner is like!"

"Yes."

Xu Huabiao looked up.

Rise.

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

The face of the Son of Heaven in front of him......

He seems to have an impression.
