249 The Price of Jokes
"Lord Xu, are you really going to Wancheng?"
Coming out of the palace, Xu Huabiao was about to go back to the guest house, but was stopped by Li Xiuman, who looked at Xu Huabiao with a serious face.
Xu Huabiao looked at Li Xiuman's serious expression and froze for a moment.
"Or else? Could it be that you are planning to go again, Prime Minister? ”
"But Lord Xu, didn't you say that you just want to be the city lord of Luoyang City?"
“……”
Xu Huabiao laughed.
This Prime Minister, I'm afraid I didn't misunderstand something!
"That's it, Prime Minister." Xu Huabiao sorted out his smile that made Li Xiuman instantly embarrassed, "You arrange a general...... Well, you can see whether it's Taeyeon or Miyoung, or whatever else you can trust, come with me to Wancheng. ”
“…… What do you mean? Li Xiuman didn't understand a little.
"If Zhang Dongjian plans to surrender, he will definitely come to Xuchang. But it is impossible for Wancheng to be left unstared, after all...... Jingzhou Han Chenghao has always looked at Wancheng very closely. Xu Huabiao explained with a smile, "So, even if Zhang Dongjian leaves, there must be someone guarding the city there." Whoever you plan to arrange to go to Wancheng to sit in town, let whoever go. ”
Li Xiuman was stunned.
"Alright, believe me this time!" Xu Huabiao looked at Li Xiuman's embarrassed expression, and smiled even more happily, "I don't want to do this Sizhou assassination, if it weren't for your help next to me, I would have resolutely refused." You want to stay in Luoyang because of this suspicion...... That's just a lot of talking. ”
"I don't doubt ...... either," Li Xiuman looked embarrassed.
Looking at Li Xiuman's embarrassed and polite expression, Xu Huabiao suddenly had a little prank idea.
"Alright, let's just say that!" Xu Huabiao waved his hand, and then said, "By the way, since I am the assassin of Sizhou, am I the official position in Sizhou?" ”
“…… Of course. Who do you want to appoint as Hedong, or Hongnong's Taishou? ”
"Hedong is still under Li Yanhao's control, even if I appoint it, it will be useless." Xu Huabiao shook his head.
"Oh, Hongnong...... Well, it's actually not under our control right now, but if Lord Xu you plan to control Hongnong, it shouldn't be difficult, right? After all, there are many people in the Hongnong Li family who work in your Luoyang Taishou Mansion! With their help, you have to appoint a man to be the ...... of Hongnong."
"Well, so I thought...... By the way, Zheng Xiujing shouldn't have any specific positions, right? ”
"Xiujing?" Li Xiuman was stunned, "Not yet...... How? Are you going to ......?"
"How about letting her go to Hongnong Taishou?"
“…… No, Mr. Xu, what do you mean by that? Why do you want Xiujing to be Hongnong Taishou? Li Xiuman was stunned, completely unable to understand what the situation was.
"Oh, I once went to Yingchuan to visit Zheng Xiujing and asked her to work for me, but she refused on the grounds that I couldn't be a state pastor."
Be quiet.
Li Xiuman looked at Xu Huabiao with a ridiculous expression.
Xu Huabiao, who looked serious, couldn't see that he was joking.
Although Xu Huabiao is indeed playing a prank.
“…… Lord Xu, what are you ......?" Li Xiuman finally held back half a sentence.
I said, we're all adults! Is it okay to be a little more mature? Why are you taking revenge on people like this?
Is it fun?
It can still improve your life!
Li Xiuman roared in his heart.
"Anyway, I don't plan to take care of Hongnong's affairs, if you are willing, I will arrange it and let Master Zheng Xiujing be a Hongnong Taishou. It just so happens that it saves you from worrying that I, the Sizhou Assassin, will be in charge of things other than Luoyang. ”
"Lord Xu, I'll accompany you on behalf of Xiujing...... Xiujing just said that, I didn't expect you to ...... adult"
"No! Isn't this looking for someone you know and who also has opinions about me to be Hongnong Taishou, will you be more at ease? ”
"I'm so relieved! There is no worry!! Li Xiuman immediately said: "Xiujing doesn't have any opinions about adults......"
"Hmm. I plan to leave for Wancheng tomorrow, you arrange a general, bring a little soldiers, and follow me to Wancheng! Xu Huabiao directly jumped to the topic.
It looks like the dust has just settled.
"Good!" Li Xiuman nodded hurriedly, but he was still not at ease, "By the way, the appointment of Xiujing's Taishou just ...... said."
"If you want to treat me as the assassin of Sizhou, then I will appoint her to be the Hongnong Taishou. If you don't treat me as a assassin, then just make a joke on me. ”
“…… Lord Xu, can you spare me? Li Xiuman hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Since his death in Zhongzhong, Xiujing is now the most important adviser under my command, if I go to Hongnong......"
"Well, then it's good not to treat me as a Sizhou assassin from now on." Xu Huabiao smiled, "I am the hussar general, the captain, just lead Luoyang Taishou." ”
"I don't want to think too much about it, but since you are the assassin of Sizhou, then Jin Zhongguo ......"
"Oh, yes! I asked Kim Jong Kook to be Hongnong, so it's good to keep it! ”
“……”
"Alright! I'll just tell you that Kim Jong Kook himself doesn't want to stay in the Central Plains anymore, and even if I appoint him as a taishou, it's useless. Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Well, don't talk about it, I should go back and prepare to go to Wancheng tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow morning, the person I arranged will go back to meet with Master Xu, and the matter of Sizhou's assassination history will be decided?"
"Good!"
Xu Huabiao smiled.
……
"Childe, are you back?"
"Huh? Oh! What's wrong? ”
"Didn't you see Your Majesty in the morning? Why did you come back so late? ”
"After I came out of the palace, I met General Jiang Shiqi, she invited me to have a meal with me, I felt embarrassed to refuse, so I agreed...... Why, don't you tell me that you miss me if you haven't seen me for a long time? ”
Xu Huabiao looked at Lin Yun'er with a strange expression.
Lin Yun'er glanced at Xu Huabiao.
"What! At noon, Master Zheng Xiuyan came with Master Zheng Xiujing, saying that she wanted to see you, Gongzi, but you haven't come back after waiting here for nearly an hour, and you just left. ”
“……”
"What have you done! Why does Lord Zheng Xiuyan keep apologizing to me, saying I'm sorry, please let her nephew go......" Lin Yun'er looked weird, "Lord Zheng Xiujing is very kind, don't hurt her." ”
“…… I'm just having a good time, spitting out, nothing else. Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head, "Well, don't worry about them." Tomorrow we're going to Wancheng. ”
"Tomorrow? So fast? ”
"Go and get back." Xu Huabiao said with a smile, "According to the day, Jin Zhongguo should have returned to Luoyang City, right?" We went to Wancheng and came back, he should have already gone to Saiwai......"
"Childe, there is something that I thought of when I was chatting with Zheng Xiujing and them just now."
"What?"
"What if Kim Jong Kook takes advantage of your absence and robs Luoyang City?"
"He can't snatch it." Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head.
"That's not necessarily, I'm here, and there is not even a person in Luoyang City who can make five moves under him." Lin Yun'er shook her head, "Who can stop him from controlling Luoyang?" ”
"If you can rule by brute force alone, Jiang Hudong will not die." Xu Huabiao shook his head with a smile, "Kim Jong Kook has already understood, why don't you understand?" ”
“…… I'm just worried, why do you despise me so much? "Lin Yun'er is aggrieved." Since you are not afraid of anything, then why are you here, Childe, and not in Luoyang?? ”
"This ...... I'm talking about the situation where he remains calm. Xu Huabiao shook his head, "As long as he doesn't get mad because of Yin Enhui, I won't have anything." ”
“…… Hum. Lin Yun'er looked at Xu Huabiao's appearance that she couldn't talk about herself, and decided not to say anything.
It was at this time that there was a knock on the door.
Shangshu ordered Master Zheng Xiuyan to visit.
"It seems that Lord Xiuyan has to apologize to Childe in person! What the hell did you do? Lin Yun'er became more and more curious.
"It's nothing, it's just ...... Well, it's going to be very awkward for a while, are you sure you're going to stay here? Xu Huabiao looked at Lin Yun'er with a smile.
"I ...... Let's go to the back and continue embroidering. ”
Lin Yun'er jumped up from the stool very simply, slipped away from the smoke, and ran away.
And the front door, Zheng Xiuyan, has arrived.
