277 Asking for hardship
Originally, according to the plan, Xu Huabiao and the others set off from Chang'an, one day later than the large army, and left Bishui Pass in advance on the same day as the large army, and the 1,000 people led by Quan Baolan, who were the vanguard, met under Tongguan.
Tentative attack, confrontation for about ten days, over there The large army led by Xian Enjing arrived.
After that, he will attack Tongguan with all his strength and start a crusade against Pei Yongjun and others.
Once again, however, plans did not catch up with the change.
Li Zhien followed Xu Huabiao all the way to Hongnong, especially, and told Xu Huabiao in a daze, hoping that he would help him do the same favor as helping Zheng Xiujing......
Xu Huabiao had to speed up his march.
Then he used "We're in a hurry, it's not that I can't help you, but in that case you will fall behind" as a reason, and shirked Lee Ji-eun.
Li Ji-eun was very dissatisfied with this.
So, only five days later, Xu Huabiao and the others caught up with Quan Baolan's troops, which had taken at least ten days to catch up.
However, it startled Quan Baolan, thinking that he was marching too slowly, which made Lord Thorn Shi unhappy......
As a result, Xu Huabiao had to explain to Quan Baolan that he was just running a little faster, and he didn't think she was marching too slowly. Moreover, a steady march is good and should be encouraged......
Yunyun.
Of course, there are also benefits to rushing forward quickly.
Because of Xu Huabiao, when they caught up with Quanbaolan's troops, this army was very close to the place where Xu Huabiao and Li Yunxi camped in the wilderness, but were besieged by a group of family members.
That is, it is very close to Hongnong Li's house.
"According to the speed of the march, there are still two days, and we should pass by the Li family." It was the end of another day's march, and Xu Huabiao, who had obviously relaxed a lot more than a few days ago, sat on his horse and said to Li Zhien, who was following him, and there was not even a smile on his face recently.
"I know." Lee Ji-eun's answer sounded hard-hearted.
"You can ride a horse first tomorrow, I'll let Yun'er follow you, if something doesn't go well, we'll camp directly outside Lijiazhuang the night after tomorrow."
“…… Don't bother. ”
Lee Ji-eun shook his head.
Still expressionless.
Be quiet.
"Yun'a! Go and help Nala set up camp. Xu Huabiao glanced at Lin Yun'er beside him.
That's pretty obvious.
"Okay." Lin Yun'er glanced at Li Zhien, then at Xu Huabiao, and responded with a strange expression.
In the past few days of marching, she already knows why the atmosphere between Li Zhien and Xu Huabiao is so embarrassing......
To be honest, it's really embarrassing.
"I'll go to General Quanbaolan and see if there's anything I can do to help." Zheng Xiuyan also hurriedly answered, and then left.
Only Xu Huabiao and Li Ji-eun remained.
"You're making Zheng Xiuyan see a joke!" Xu Huabiao watched several people leave, and said to Li Zhien with a little annoyance.
"Just look! Anyway, it's my joke, and it's not the lord you're ashamed. ”
"How do you say that......
"It was meant to be! I wanted to dedicate myself to my lord, but I was denied. Isn't it? Li Zhien glanced at Xu Huabiao, with serious unhappiness in his eyes.
"Didn't I tell you that day, I hope that the relationship with you is a simple master-slave relationship...... And I have to at least maintain a relatively peaceful relationship with the Hongnong Li family now, I hope you understand......"
"Then you can help Zheng Xiujing?"
"Zheng Xiujing is not my subordinate! Her matter is a headache for Li Xiuman! Xu Huabiao was speechless, "Otherwise, under normal circumstances, like the current situation, even if Li Xiuman is inconvenient to come by himself, it shouldn't be Zheng Xiuyan who comes!" Zheng Xiujing, Shen Changmin, which is more suitable than Zheng Xiuyan. But Li Xiuman still sent Zheng Xiuyan here, which means that in fact, Zheng Xiujing is a little embarrassed under Li Xiuman now. ”
"But ......"
"The relationship between me and the Hongnong Li family is already more delicate, and you are here to pick up your mother this time, if the people of the Li family know now that you plan to conceive my child...... Do you think someone in your family might let your mother go? Xu Huabiao spread his hands, "Step by step, besides, if it really ...... now?" Well, it's time to be busy with spring ploughing right away, and if you feel uncomfortable because of the joy...... I had to be surrounded and scolded by people from the entire three provinces and six departments. I've had enough of Zheng Xiujing's time before, so you should pity me, can you? ”
"Then my lord, I will promise you to me, even if it is inconvenient for the time being...... Future...... Well, if you find it inconvenient, I don't actually mind being your concubine. ”
“…… Don't make a fuss! Is it easy for me to find a few trustworthy subordinates! ”
Xu Huabiao has a black line in his head.
At this moment, Kwon Nara came over.
"My lord, the tent is set up, you and Lord Ji-eun can go in and sit and talk." Kwon Nara's expression was a little embarrassed.
Xu Huabiao saw that Lin Yun'er forced her to talk to herself.
"My lord, go and rest." Li Zhien nodded at Xu Huabiao.
“…… Are you alright? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't cause you any trouble."
"When did I say you caused trouble......
"Didn't we just say that?" Li Zhien looked at Xu Huabiao with a helpless look.
The atmosphere is stiff.
"I'll accompany you to Hongnong Li's house tomorrow." Xu Huabiao suddenly burst out with a sentence.
Lee Ji-eun was stunned.
"Well, you should rest early today, and we will try to leave early tomorrow."
"No need, my lord......"
"If I don't help you solve this matter, I have a hunch that my Xiao He may have to run ......" Xu Huabiao looked at Li Zhien with a serious face.
Lee Ji-eun's gaze jumped.
"Leave early tomorrow morning." Xu Huabiao sighed softly, then jumped off the horse, threw the reins to Quan Nara, who seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand next to him, and walked into the camp tent by himself.
"Eh, where's Ji-eun-sama? Didn't come in with you? ”
“……”
"Okay, okay, I won't ask, okay!" Lin Yun'er looked at Xu Huabiao's iron-clad face and hurriedly confessed. "Tomorrow, on the way to Hongnong Li's house with Li Zhien, I will help Gongzi say a few words......"
"I'll go tomorrow too."
“…… Yes? Childe, are you going in person? It's inconvenient, right? There are a lot of things to say, it's inconvenient for you to say! ”
“…… Do you still know that? ”
"Lady Zheng Xiuyan told me these days. Lin Yun'er nodded, "She said that if I go with Li Zhien, I have to say something ......."
"Don't listen to her messing around." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "You are not allowed to say anything." ”
"Oh......" Lin Yun'er nodded a little helplessly.
“…… Are you angry again? ”
"No! It is...... Childe, you don't need to worry so much! Even if Lord Lee Ji-eun has a little emotion towards you, it won't be good. She used to tell me...... Well, by the way, she won't let me tell Childe about you. ”
“……”
"Alright! I'll go out and talk to her, son, you can rest! Lin Yun'er nodded with a smile and left the camp.
Xu Huabiao fell headlong on the marching bed.
What a headache!
