Since Li Xiuman was already preparing to evacuate Yecheng first, so that the soldiers of Yanzhou and Yuzhou could go home to rest and rest, and continue the Northern Expedition when the time was right, Xu Huabiao wanted to return to Luoyang, and he had no intention of stopping him.

Even when he was busy dealing with the complicated affairs of Yecheng, he didn't have time to come to see Xu Huabiao.

Just asked Kim Ji-sook, who barely saved his life because of Xu Huabiao's words, to help Xu Huabiao give him the words "goodbye Yecheng", which can be regarded as a farewell.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.

Xu Huabiao is going to Liaodong when he turns around, and he must pass by Yecheng, and when Li Xiuman is not good, he will have to arrange someone to go to Liaodong with Xu Huabiao!

It's just that in Xu Huabiao's opinion, this is a little bit unlucky......

No matter what, after finally dealing with the affairs of Yecheng, Xu Huabiao can finally return to Luoyang.

Is......

Congratulations!

In this way, they had nothing to say all the way, and they arrived at the foot of Hedong City together.

At the gate of the city, Xu Huabiao met Xu Zhuxian and a somewhat unexpected person.

Xian Enjing.

"Eunjing, why are you here?"

"That's right." Xu Zhuxian, who was next to him, took Xu Huabiao's words with a smile, "Some time ago, the Black Mountain thieves were recruited, and there were bandits who were unwilling to surrender, and I didn't have enough troops at hand, and the prime minister was busy with Hebei Raiders, and he couldn't send anyone, so I went to Luoyang to send a letter asking for reinforcements...... Then General Enjing brought an army to help me suppress the bandits. ”

“…… The result? Xu Huabiao glanced at Xian Enjing.

The two exchanged glances.

Xu Huabiao instantly understood.

What a black mountain thief, what a bandit! There must be some mistakes here in Hedong, I don't know which surrendered official did something and wanted to bully Xu Zhuxian, and after the people in Luoyang learned about it, they sent someone over to support Xu Zhuxian.

After all, Seo Joo-hyun is his own person.

"The bandits have been exterminated, I was about to return to Luoyang, and when I learned that you were also back, I circled for two days, waiting for you together."

"Well...... Okay, let's go to the city! May I? Xu Huabiao looked at Xu Zhuxian.

"Oh! Of course! Thorn Sage please! ”

"Good!"

……

That same evening.

"My lord."

"Oh, Eun Jing! What are you doing here! ”

In the study in the courtyard where Xu Huabiao temporarily stayed, Xu Huabiao, who was teaching Bae Joo-hyun and Lin Yun'er to play a kind of chess that he had "researched" himself, met Hyun Eun-jing.

A bit of a surprise.

"Are you busy, lord?"

"No! Just playing chess...... What are you looking for from me? Xu Huabiao smiled at Xian Enjing and asked, "Is it a matter of Hedong County?" ”

"There is no big problem in Hedong, there is a Hedong family, and I want to stuff their people into the city, General Xu Zhuxian is not happy, and the people of that family gathered some villagers who want to make trouble, and bully General Xu Zhuxian has no soldiers in his hands, she asked Luoyang for help, I brought a thousand people over, and it was dealt with in one day."

"Oh...... What's the other thing with that? Xu Huabiao looked at Xian Enjing and asked.

Xian Enjing didn't say anything, but took out a bamboo tube from his arms.

Sealed with fire paint.

"What's this?" Xu Huabiao took it.

"It was transmitted from Luoyang yesterday, and my messenger to Yecheng has not been sent out yet, so I got a notice that you are going back to Luoyang, so I will wait......"

"News from Luoyang? Yun Xi wrote? When Xu Huabiao heard this, he cheered up.

"Maybe!" Xian Enjing smiled, "Since the fight has been quiet, Yun Xi's mood has always been good, and he will praise whoever he catches." ”

"That's it! My daughter is like a mother! Xu Huabiao said as he opened the bamboo tube.

"Hmm...... Then I'll go first......" Xian Enjing saw that Xu Huabiao was going to read the letter, so he planned to leave.

She just came to deliver a letter to Xu Huabiao.

"General Enjing, you don't have to worry! Come, sit! Lin Yun'er stretched out her hand with a smile, grabbed Xian Enjing, and then, semi-forcedly, dragged her to her side and sat down.

"Second lady...... Is there something wrong? Xian Enjing was a little embarrassed.

What, my relationship with my lord hasn't developed to that point......

"This! Just now my husband taught us how to play chess, and Zhu Hyun and I were told by him that people who can't lead soldiers really can't play chess well...... General Eunjing, come! ”

"Playing chess? This...... What kind of chess is it? Xian Enjing looked curiously at the eight-squared chessboard on the table, painted in black and white.

"Childe said it's called chess...... I don't understand either. Lin Yun'er shook her head, "The rules are also a little troublesome, and the eight soldiers in front ...... first."

Lin Yun'er began to tell Xian Enjing about the rules of this board game that Xu Huabiao should have called chess in his previous life, while Xu Huabiao next to him opened the bamboo tube that was sealed by fire on the outside and pulled out the letter from inside.

After a few glances at the letter, Xu Huabiao finished reading it.

In an instant, Xu Huabiao's expression became very strange.

"What's the matter, lord?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't teach Hyun Eun-jeong to play chess, so he noticed the change in Xu Huabiao's expression for the first time.

“…… We might have to go to Xuchang. ”

"To Xuchang? Do what? ”

"Jieqiong stays in Xuchang and doesn't return to Luoyang, I have to pick her up."

“…… If you don't go back, or you can't go back? ”

"The letter didn't say anything." Xu Huabiao threw the letter to Bae Joo-hyun.

Pei Zhuhyun glanced at it and returned it to Xu Huabiao.

"That'...... Lord, are you going to Luoyang? ”

"I'm not going, are you sure you can let Jieqiong go back to Luoyang?" Xu Huabiao looked at Pei Zhuhyun with a sincere expression.

"I can't guarantee it." Pei Zhuhyun immediately shook her head, "Although I don't know what's going on, but looking at the tone of the second lady, I'm afraid that only if you go in person, the lord, can you persuade her to come back?" ”

“…… What the hell is she trying to do? Xu Huabiao looked annoyed.

"Lord, you don't want to go to Xuchang?" Xian Enjing, who was next to her, was a little curious.

Although she has been listening to Lin Yun'er explain the rules of chess, she has also paid attention to Xu Huabiao.

"If I want to go to Xuchang, I won't go to Hongnong, let alone Bingzhou, as for what persuasion to surrender the Black Mountain thieves, Yecheng...... There's no such anymore. Xu Huabiao looked at Xian Enjing helplessly and smiled, "It's because I don't want to go to Xuchang...... As a result, it went around in such a big circle, and still went? Wasn't I a little stupid before? ”

“…… Lord, you went to Hongnong before because you didn't want to go to Xuchang? ”

"Or else? It's you who leads the troops in Hongnong, what do I have to worry about? Xu Huabiao spread his hands, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I thought that the lord was just worried about me, so I ran there......"

“…… How can it be! If I don't even worry about you, that's the end of it. Xu Huabiao smiled and sighed.

The smile quickly faded, though.

"Then the lord are you going to Xuchang?" It was Bae Joo-hyun who asked this sentence.

After she knew that Park Xiurong's child was Xu Huabiao's, she could understand why Xu Huabiao was reluctant to go to Xuchang in the first place......

"Not going? I can't pretend I didn't marry that wife, can I? ”

"That'...... Tomorrow, my lord, will you set off for Xuchang? Bae Joo-hyun looked at Xu Huabiao and asked, "Do you want me to follow?" ”

“…… Otherwise, I will give you a death order, you and Yun'er go to Luoyang to bring Jieqiong back to me, otherwise you won't come back. ”

"Then I'll go back to Yingchuan directly? Anyway, follow Xuchang along the way. Third lady, where are you going? Bae Joo-hyun looked at Lin Yun'er.

Lin Yun'er flattened her mouth, shook her head with a smile, and then looked at Xu Huabiao: "Son, we can go together, but that Han Xiaozhu, do you plan to let General Enjing take it back to Xuchang?" ”

"Oh! Right! And that trouble! Xu Huabiao rubbed his head.

"By the way, my lord, I haven't asked yet, who is that woman? When I arranged for her to stay this afternoon, she didn't have a good face for me......" Xian Enjing said.

"Oh, that's the Fourth Lady."

“…… Fourth Lady?? Xian Enjing was stunned for a moment, "Yes...... Where did it come from? ”

"Liaodong is too guarded by the Han family. But it doesn't matter. Bae Joo-hyun shook her head, "Just treat her as a lady." ”

"Oh......" Xian Enjing nodded.

"What ma'am." Xu Huabiao looked gloomy next to him, "Don't say it, I'm just being cheated." ”

"Huh." Bae Joo-hyun looked disgusted.

“…… In this way, you will help me bring that girl back to Luoyang...... Well, don't be too polite to her, if she causes trouble, she can be tied up and locked up, it's not a big problem. ”

"Oh......" Xian Enjing nodded a little incomprehensibly, "I understand." Then you will be busy first, my lord, I ...... Went first. Tomorrow I have to hand over some things to General Xu, so I won't send you to the lord......"

"General Enjing, don't you play a game of chess with the lord before leaving?" Lin Yun'er wanted to continue to stay with Xian Enjing.

"Let's talk about it after we go back to Luoyang!" Hyun Eun Jing smiled, turned around, and left the room.

Be quiet.

"What's going on with Eun Jing? Why are you going to leave all of a sudden......" Xu Huabiao didn't come back to his senses, and Xian Enjing had already left the room.

"Childe, did you say anything to General Enjing before?"

“…… What to say? ”

"I've made some promises or something, like...... Give her a name or something? ”

“…… Nope! ”

"Then why did her face suddenly become so bad when she heard Joo Hyun say about the fourth lady or something?" Lin Yun'er took a deep look at Xu Huabiao.

"Huh? Have it? ”

"My lord, if I were you, I would go to General Enjing tonight."

"Don't make trouble, she has to hand over the matter of Hedong with Xu Zhuxian tomorrow......"

Be quiet

"Sure enough, Third Madame, you guessed right." Bae Joo-hyun looked at Lin Yun'er, "My lord, do you really have any strange agreement with General Eun Jing!" ”

Lin Yun'er nodded with a "what am I talking about" face.

Xu Huabiao......

A black line on the door of the brain.

What's the deal, if you don't pay attention, you will be tricked by Pei Zhuhyun!

But...... Is it really because of this that Xian Enjing is in a bad mood?

Then I still have to go and see her!
