From Yecheng to Xuchang, it will take at least a month to go back and forth with a fast horse.

After taking Li Xiuman to see a circle of copper sparrows, although Xu Huabiao claimed that he would return to Luoyang in three days, he was unable to make the trip.

First of all, Zheng Yunhao, who had never seen Xu Huabiao since he was scolded by Xu Huabiao at the dinner that day, came to the house, and he didn't know whether to apologize or express his position, so he pulled Xu Huabiao and asked him to stay in Luoyang for a few more days no matter what, and he wanted to apologize to Xu Huabiao.

Zheng Yunhao, whose face was full of begging for forgiveness, asked Xu Huabiao to understand that before his father officially expressed his position, he could only keep his distance from Xu Huabiao, and this was what Xu Huabiao taught him when he was outside Yecheng.

Xu Huabiao didn't plan to blame Jung Yunhao.

Moreover, he also knew that Zheng Yunhao wanted to keep himself in Yecheng so that he could say something more for Shen Changmin.

In fact, there is no need for Zheng Yunhao to say that Xu Huabiao will not directly do anything to Shen Changmin, because the batch of added candles has been sent to Shen Changmin's house through Jinyiwei's network in the name of daily use.

Xu Huabiao didn't mention it to anyone, but Xu Huabiao was very sure that no matter whether Shen Changmin's current body was good or bad, and whether he was older or younger than Li Xiuman, he would definitely not live to Li Xiuman to unify the world......

will definitely die in front of Li Xiuman.

Moreover, it will definitely not be a good death.

The reason why Xu Huabiao still said those words to Li Xiuman on that occasion was nothing more than to force Li Xiuman to make a public statement.

In fact, Li Xiuman's statement of "not helping each other" is already a concession, and this concession is also planned by Xu Huabiao and Pei Zhuhyun.

Even, it was a decision that Li Xiuman had made a long time ago.

The contradiction between a feudal official who sits in two capitals and holds military power, but has little threat to himself and even seems to be loyal, and a strategist under his command......

Even if the strategist claimed to be thinking about himself, Li Xiuman really couldn't use this reason to convince all the other feudal generals and taishou.

Today is Luoyang Taishou, so will it be Hedong Taishou in the future? The party is too guarded? History of Xuzhou thorn?

Even, Puyang Taishou and Nanyang Taishou will play drums in their hearts: their relationship with Xu Huabiao is also very close!

This kind of "trumped-up" crime is the most terrible thing.

Therefore, although Li Xiuman knew that Shen Changmin was thinking about himself, he really had no position to support him.

And Xu Huabiao has also made verbal concessions: until he rules the world, he will not be investigated, and then, his children will not be investigated......

Then Li Xiuman hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey to stabilize the hearts of so many generals in the world with heavy troops and the Taishou who took refuge in him.

Li Xiuman expressed his attitude, and stopped some people who wanted to climb the ladder to speculate by making things difficult for Xu Huabiao, which was enough for Xu Huabiao.

As for Shen Changmin......

The material that Xu Huabiao ordered was very poisonous, and when he couldn't survive and couldn't die......

Hum.

Of course, Jung Yun-ho didn't know any of this.

He worked very hard to keep Xu Huabiao, and then basically came to him every day, drinking and traveling together, just around the law to tell Xu Huabiao about Shen Changmin.

Xu Huabiao is a look that I can give you face to stay in Yecheng for a while, but if you want to say Shen Changmin, then I will immediately throw my face and leave......

In fact, the main thing is that Xu Huabiao didn't plan to return to Luoyang at this time.

He had to spend time in Yecheng and wait for a reply from Xuchang.

persisted for half a month, Zheng Yunhao saw that Xu Huabiao's resoluteness exceeded his imagination, so he could only give up persuasion, and stopped his efforts to come to Xu Huabiao every day to grind foreign workers, and at this time, Cui Xueli took over the shift very well......

When her brother was disgusted by Xu Huabiao, she hid far away, and when her brother gave up, she ran over with a smile and pulled Lin Yun'er to say some gossip, or she came directly to Xu Huabiao to discuss some knowledge.

In fact, Xu Huabiao knows what kind of knowledge!

Just to be able to perform, he was "dragged" in Yecheng by Zheng Yunhao and Cui Xueli, brothers and sisters, Xu Huabiao can only pretend to be very interested in discussing knowledge and understand it very well......

How to load?

Copy!

Cui Xueli is like the person in history that Xu Huabiao knows, she is indeed outstanding and talented, so Xu Huabiao will pretend to be similar to her.

Of course, it's still polite to say that the rainbow fart of "the world's talents are one stone, Shirley, you have eight buckets" is also earth-shattering.

Cui Xueli also said, "If I can occupy eight buckets, then sir, you are afraid that you will be the scale rod of that measure."

Well, the daily life of Baume & Mercier is to praise each other, as long as Xu Huabiao himself doesn't take it seriously, it's fine.

In this way, Zheng Yunhao dragged Xu Huabiao for half a month, and Cui Xueli dragged on for another half a month.

Then, there was no need for them to drag, Xu Huabiao found a better reason.

Zhou Jieqiong, who has ideas and worked hard, is pregnant again.

The first few months of pregnancy are inconvenient to toss around, from Yecheng back to Luoyang, the carriage has to be bumpy for more than half a month, too hard, it is definitely not possible.

As a result, Xu Huabiao could only continue to "stay" in Yecheng.

Li Xiuman welcomed this very much.

In fact, if he hadn't instructed him, would his children dare to keep Xu Huabiao? I'm afraid it's not that I'm dying fast enough!

Let Xu Huabiao stay in Yecheng, which can somewhat reassure Li Xiuman, and then think of some countermeasures to deal with Xu Huabiao's request.

And in this way, more than a month has passed, and in a blink of an eye, the people of Luoyang attach great importance to it, but the outsiders don't take it seriously at all, the New Year's Pass.

The Xuanwu Lake reconstruction and expansion project was finally successfully completed.

And the secret letter sent by Xu Huabiao to Xuchang, and the official letter sent by Li Xiuman to Xuchang asking the Son of Heaven to show how to deal with the bronze sparrow, finally had a reply.

……

"My lord, what does the letter say?"

"Just see for yourself."

In the study of the Hussar General's Mansion, Xu Huabiao smiled and handed the secret letter in his hand to Pei Zhuhyun, who was looking at him curiously across the desk.

Bae Joo-hyun took the letter and read it quickly.

"This housekeeper named Jin Shaoqing is much more capable than he imagined!"

After reading the letter, Bae Joo-hyun directly threw the letter into the brazier pile next to him, and said while looking at the letter.

"It's good that people were also the number one general in Wu County back then, okay! Can't handle this little thing? Xu Huabiao glanced at Pei Zhuhyun.

"But Xuchang's incident this time, she is indeed meritorious." Bae Joo-hyun smiled and didn't answer Xu Huabiao's words, "Xiuyan...... Well, I tried to stop it, but I didn't stop it. ”

"Actually, Xiuyan underestimated Jin Shaoqing." Xu Huabiao said with a smile, "I think none of our people in Luoyang can speak in Xuchang, and as long as she opposes the construction of Tongquetai, the Son of Heaven will not agree." ”

"Yes! She definitely didn't expect Jin Shaoqing to mobilize so many courtiers through the relationship between An Junying and Li Sailun. Bae Joo-hyun nodded, "Even I didn't expect her to be able to convince so many people." ”

"Alas, I think I've cheated Xiuyan." Xu Huabiao nodded and sighed softly, "This time, someone under Li Xiuman's subordinates is definitely going to say bad things about her." ”

"Lord, if you want to be full of face with Li Xiu in the future, your number one enemy is not Quan Bao'er in Puyang, but Zheng Xiuyan in Xuchang, this is a good thing!"

"I know! To fight a war is to fight the economy! Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "That's why I value Zhien so much." ”

"Hmm." Bae Joo-hyun responded.

"But...... Xiuyan saw through it so easily that I asked Li Xiuman to build that Tongque Terrace in Yecheng to work the people and lose money, and Shen Changmin and Kim Hee-cheol should be able to see through it, right? ”

"They shouldn't have told Li Xiuman about it so far, but the news from our spies, Xiujing's letter arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning." Bae Joo-hyun shook his head with a smile, "That's what I said." ”

“…… How would Xiujing know? ”

"It must have been Xiuyan who wrote a letter to ask her niece to help stop Li Xiuman!" Bae Joo-hyun nodded, "Actually, to be honest, only people like Xiuyan who are loyal to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court can see your step-by-step plan, the other ...... will feel that Li Xiuman deserves such a reward. ”

"Hmm...... However, although Zheng Xiuyan was vigilant enough, she ignored a more important matter. Even if she can convince Li Xiuman to build Tongque Terrace from Jane......" Saying this, Xu Huabiao shook his head with a smile, and then sighed softly, "One hundred secrets!" ”

"Yes! She didn't realize at all that what Tongque Tai was just a trick that the lord used to drag Li Xiuman's hind legs a little, and then let him try to encroach on the sweetness little by little...... The real killer move is the reward order! Bae Joo-hyun smiled and nodded.

A look of pride.

Because she came up with this trick.

"Hmm...... Yiguo Gong ...... Hehe, what a loss, you think of it. Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head.

"The title of the Duke of the Kingdom has indeed been abandoned for many years, but it can be regarded as the old system of the previous dynasty, even if it is taken out, it doesn't matter, after all, the lord of your great military exploits in Bingzhou and Youzhou needs to be rewarded." Bae Joo-hyun smiled, "You are already a county marquis, and you will go up...... can only be sealed. ”

"And this letter of invitation was written by Jieqiong." Xu Huabiao nodded, "I am a concubine, and I am also the Son of Heaven's own person, although I can't be crowned king, but it's not a big deal to be crowned a prince or something." ”

"Yes! If it weren't for the special status of the eldest lady, I wouldn't have come up with such an idea. Pei Zhuhyun nodded with a smile, "Moreover, in fact, compared to the identity of the Duke of the Kingdom, it is only right for you to stabilize the fiefdom of Luoyang for the Lord." The county marquis can only be the feudal of the county, and the prince can be the feudal county. Otherwise, I asked the lord to put on a look in front of Li Xiuman as if he wanted to return to Jinyang, Li Xiuman would be really shameless, and he would plan it and let the lord go back to Jinyang to retire...... Then things are a little more troublesome. ”

“…… That's right! How I didn't think of this! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"I'm going to say it earlier, in case you're worried that Li Xiuman will be shameless with you and refuse to act in that play, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to trust Li Xiuman." Pei Zhuhyun smiled, "Moreover, this matter was also said in the letter written by the eldest lady to the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is not also worried that the lord you will return to Jinyang because you are tired, I am afraid that you will not be able to agree to break the rules and make you the lord a princess." ”

“…… Well. Xu Huabiao glanced at Pei Zhuhyun, "You really lost Luoyang for me......"

"I don't dare! Lord, just relax. Pei Zhuhyun smiled, "Well, now the matter of your being named the Duke of Yiguo has not yet spread, and it will spread...... Li Xiuman is about to face endless trouble. Hey, Bronze Bird Terrace? Compared to being persuaded by his subordinates to enter the feudal duke, what is it! ”

"In this way, it is really good to marry a princess!" Xu Huabiao touched his chin, "People are beautiful, virtuous, and there are so many conveniences......

"You go and tell the eldest lady these words, tell me what to do!" Pei Zhuhyun looked uncomfortable from being forced to be filled with dog food, and waved his hand, "Well, tomorrow the lord you are going to see Li Xiuman again, be mentally prepared......"

"yes, I know." Xu Huabiao smiled and nodded, "I've been waiting for a month!" Tomorrow I will try to continue to fool Lee so-man! ”

"That'...... I wish you success tomorrow? ”

"Of course!"

Xu Huabiao nodded with a smile.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who!"

"Childe, are you done talking to Lord Joo-hyun?" Lin Yun'er's head poked into the room.

“…… You're waiting for her to play cards again? ”

"Hmmm......"

“…… Didn't you like playing cards before? Why did you suddenly ......?"

"That's the rule you taught us before, Childe, it's very boring, but this set of rules created by Lord Joo-hyun is much more interesting."

“…… Okay, there you go! Xu Huabiao glanced at Pei Zhuhyun helplessly.

"Yes." Bae Joo-hyun nodded with a smile, and then left with the smiling Lin Yun'er.

Only Xu Huabiao, who sighed leisurely there, was left.

The figure seemed a little lonely.
