"Lord, are you going to go back to Luoyang directly?"

“…… Why, no? ”

On the way back to his own barracks from Li Xiuman's barracks, Xu Huabiao was pulled by Pei Zhuxun, who was following him.

He was a little surprised.

I should have told Li Xiuman just now, I said everything, what can't I go back?

"It's not that it can't be done, Li Xiuman shouldn't let you go back like this, right?" Bae Joo-hyun shook his head and glanced at Li Xiuman's big tent not far behind him.

Kim Taeyeon walked out of it looking very busy.

It should be a matter of preparing for the pursuit.

"What did he leave me for?"

"I think he's going to take you to Xuchang."

“…… Why? ”

"Just now, the lord told Li Xiuman, if you need you to pacify Hebei, are you willing to help?"

“…… Shouldn't I say this? ”

"Of course not! Your lord, you ......"

“…… But I've already spoken out. ”

Xu Huabiao also reacted.

I'm a little stuck in my brain because of the addition of the Golden Cultivation Sutra!

Oh, yes! With the Golden Cultivation Sutra, he can indeed increase a lot of influence in Hebei, and even bury some nails over there, but these things can only be done quietly, not said!

This is no longer sleeping next to someone else's couch, this thing directly reaches out to someone's mouth to eat!

It's a dog, you have to be bitten if you grab food so much, not to mention that Li Xiuman is a tiger!

Xu Huabiao also remembered Li Xiuman's face when he left just now.

It's ugly, huh.

Xu Huabiao didn't react just now, but now he remembers.

It seems to be late......

"You don't have to think it's strange, you can say this kind of thing directly to the lord, he is still very good." Bae Joo-hyun glanced at Kim Zhijing, who was slightly embarrassed next to him, and smiled, "I guess Li Xiuman is discussing this matter with his advisors right now." ”

"Discuss what? How can I be escorted to Xuchang? ”

"That shouldn't be the case." Pei Zhuhyun thought for a while and shook his head, "Lord, you are under Li Xiuman, especially the interpersonal relationship in the strategist group is still good, and three of the four main strategists have a lot to do with the lord, so it is very likely that Li Xiuman will just send the remaining person to find out what you really think in the end." ”

"Shen Changmin?" Xu Huabiao thought for a while, "Well, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Oh, I think the lord just said that you are in a hurry to go back to Luoyang now. The second lady is pregnant, what a good reason! ”

"Is that enough?"

"Actually, I think Xiujing, they will dispel Lord Li Xiuman's doubts about what you want to do in Hebei." Bae Joo-hyun shook his head, "But you'd better be prepared, don't let Shen Changmin be stunned for a while." ”

"Is the lord familiar with Shen Changmin?" Jin Zhijing, who was next to him, finally mustered up the courage and said a word.

"It's familiar, right?" Xu Huabiao thought for a while and replied, "It's just that there aren't so many intersections between me and him." ”

"Oh, then lord, why don't you just say that you just said that you were just polite to Li Xiuman, and you didn't plan to help......"

“…… Oh yes, too. Bae Joo-hyun was stunned for a moment and smiled, "As long as it's natural." ”

"yes, yes." Xu Huabiao nodded, "I was also polite!" It's all Joo-hyun, you're thinking too much here......"

“…… I just want to remind you, don't let Li Xiuman think too much, otherwise we will be in trouble at that time! ”

"Hmmm! I know! ”

Xu Huabiao urged the horse, and the speed of returning to the camp of the Luoyang Army was a little faster.

……

It turns out that Bae Joo-hyun really didn't think much about it.

Xu Huabiao had just returned to the camp, and was about to discuss with Lin Yun'er how to deal with Pei Xiuzhi's matter, but before he could say one, two, or three, Shen Changmin went outside the big tent to ask for a meeting.

Xu Huabiao could only let him in.

"What are you going to do next?"

didn't even have a politeness, so Shen Changmin asked Xu Huabiao.

It couldn't be more direct.

"Go back to Luoyang! Or else? ”

Although Xu Huabiao was still discussing with Lin Yuner just now how to deal with the matter that was a little embarrassing to Xu Huabiao, he still put himself into acting as quickly as possible.

A look of course.

"It's not...... Lord Xu, didn't you say that you are willing to help the lord attack Hebei together? Just go back to Luoyang? Don't you go to Xuchang with the lord to pay a visit to the Son of Heaven first, explain the situation, and then send troops to Jizhou together......"

"Jizhou? I'm optimistic about my Luoyang, what does Hebei have to do with me...... No, I just had a polite look at the Prime Minister, did he take it seriously? Xu Huabiao's face was ridiculous.

"You're ......"

"Yes! Although the Prime Minister defeated Li Yanhao's mobilizable army here, the four prefectures of Hebei could not be taken in a while. Xu Huabiao's face was taken for granted, "If you don't do your best, I'm afraid he may not be able to eat it!" I'm going to tell him directly, I've done what I need to do, and you can take care of the rest...... Doesn't it seem too impersonal? ”

“……”

"So! I was polite, as if I cared about him. Xu Huabiao smiled, "But for the Son of Heaven to recover the world, it was originally what he, the Duke of Zhou, should do, what does it matter to me!" If you really want me to do it, what else do you want him to do this week? ”

“…… Lord Xu, what you said is too ......."

"So you see, I'm going to be polite, and then if Lord Li Xiuman is serious, he will lose." Xu Huabiao spread his hands.

“…… So you really plan to go back to Luoyang? ”

"Yes! I'm planning to arrange for the whole army to march, and then I'll go back to Luoyang first. ”

"Go back by yourself? You're not with the army? ”

"That...... My second wife had just become pregnant, and my first child was ...... Well, the first child in the theoretical sense. Because of Li Yanhao's mess, I can only send her back to Luoyang first, and now that Li Yanhao has returned to Hebei, do you think I should go back to see it first? Xu Huabiao asked Shen Changmin rhetorically.

"......" Shen Changmin didn't know how to answer Xu Huabiao's question.

It's been boring for a while.

Shen Changmin glanced at Lin Yun'er, who was there next to him with a needle embroidering something.

"How?" Lin Yun'er was slightly stunned and looked back at Shen Changmin.

They're old friends, too.

"General Yun'er, can you go out for a while, I'll talk to Master Xu alone."

"Oh, of course!" Lin Yun'er smiled and put down the embroidery in her hand and walked out of the tent.

"Is there anything I have to say alone?" Although Xu Huabiao didn't stop Lin Yun'er, his tone of voice to Shen Changmin obviously changed a little.

Sounds a little upset.

"Lord Xu, we are also old friends......

"Something to say." Xu Huabiao interrupted the greetings that Shen Changmin hadn't had when he came in just now.

"Can you tell me the truth, were you really joking with the Prime Minister just now, or did you have the heart to help the Prime Minister, but you are afraid that the Lord will misunderstand something?" Shen Changmin looked at Xu Huabiao directly.

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Huabiao was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Isn't it true that the Prime Minister really misunderstood something?" ”

"The lord just asked us after you left, Lord Xu, do you want to help him deal with Hebei affairs as soon as possible, or do you want to intervene in Hebei." Shen Changmin said with a serious face: "Lord Xiujing and Lord Xiche both said that Lord Xu, you must have this idea, otherwise you wouldn't have taken Lord Jin Zhijing with you." ”

“…… Oh. Xu Huabiao smiled on his face, and his heart ...... Well.

Bae Joo-hyun just said that Zheng Xiujing would help him dispel Li Xiuman's doubts...... What an unreliable strategist!

However, Xu Huabiao can also understand that if this worry is raised by Shen Changmin, and then she denies it, the result will be that Li Xiuman will distrust her more and more.

It's just that understanding is understanding......

"Lord Xu, you don't want to say anything?"

"What is there to say! I can't control what the prime minister thinks. Xu Huabiao maintained a smile: "Do I have this kind of thought, it's useless for me to say it, and it's not up to me to believe it or not." ”

"I just wanted to ask Lord Xu if you are worried about this."

"Of course there is!" Xu Huabiao spread his hands very brightly: "I don't think I'm stupid?" ”

“……”

"But worry is worry, I believe that the Prime Minister is smart enough not to rush to do something to me, at least, not to me until he decides to do something that I will stop him."

"Lord Xu is stopping the lord? What? ”

"Lord Shen, do you guess?"

“……”

"Forget it, don't play pantomime." Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "As long as Master Li Xiuman is still working hard to achieve what I thought he should do and can do, I, Xu Huabiao, must be his most trusted friend and helper, and I have confidence in myself, but maybe the Prime Minister thinks that I am not so pure...... Then I really can't help it, can't I? ”

"So Lord Xu, what do you mean, the lord is just thinking too much?"

"Not exactly, because I think the Prime Minister seems to be getting closer and closer to certain scales."

“…… Lord Xu, what are you talking about? ”

"Don't ask these Lord Shen, it's not good for you to know too much. You can just pass these words on to the Prime Minister as they are......"

"What I tell you here, I won't tell my lord."

"Don't pretend, if you were that kind of person, the Prime Minister wouldn't trust you a long time ago." Xu Huabiao smiled, "Just say it, just ask me to ask you." ”

“…… In the end, I still couldn't ask Lord Xu what you really think! ”

"Then you might as well think so, am I an ambitious person? If not, then why would I do things that are so unnecessary? Xu Huabiao looked at Shen Changmin deeply, "Is my question at this time?" ”

Be quiet.

"Lord Xu, you're right." Shen Changmin took a deep breath.

"Okay, there's nothing else, Lord Shen, you can go, I'm going back to Luoyang to see my wife."

“…… Then I wish Lord Xu all the best? ”

"Yes, yes!" Xu Huabiao nodded with a smile and made a gesture to send off the guest.

Shen Changmin nodded and left.

Lin Yun'er, who was outside the camp tent, walked back.

"How about it, Childe, have you finally decided to go with Suzy first?"

Lin Yun'er smiled.

“…… Just the two of us? You don't follow? ”

"What am I going to do next......

"You're my guard!"

"I'll tell Xiuzhi that she'll be able to do a good job as a guard." Lin Yun'er smiled and said, "Then it's decided?" You and Suzy went back to Luoyang alone and solved the matter of her source of strength on the way? ”

“…… Well. Xu Huabiao nodded.

"Then I'll go talk to Suzy...... Childe, when are you going to leave? ”

"Today." Xu Huabiao thought for a while and said.

"Today? It's almost night......"

"What I'm trying to do doesn't need dawn."

"Oh, yes!"

……
