671 The Price of Trust

After the conversation between Li Xiuman and his three advisors ended, the order was quickly passed on.

After half an hour of rest and preparation, the tens of thousands of soldiers who had completed the station, and the tiger and leopard cavalry that followed Li Xiuman south, set off overnight and headed in the direction of Xinye.

At dawn, as the vanguard of the tiger and leopard cavalry, a total of more than 7,000 cavalry drawn from various states, as well as the generals led by Li Xiuman, arrived at the foot of Xinye City.

In the white belly of the dawn, they were greeted by an empty city.

There were only a few households in the city that were really bad at doing it, trembling, waiting for the arrival of Li Xiuman, who they had heard that the evil spirits would generally slaughter the city.

However......

Autumn did not commit any crimes.

The tiger and leopard cavalry didn't even enter the city, and directly bypassed Xinye, giving up the work of taking over Xinye City to the army behind.

And the army led by Kim Taeyeon did not have the interest of wasting time on the side of Shinyeon, and directly arranged for a person to go back to deliver a message to Hwang Mi-young, asking her to arrange the troops that arrived later to take over the empty city.

Then, the army of tens of thousands bypassed Shinno Castle and didn't even enter.

"Li Xiuman doesn't seem to be as terrible as the legend!"

After shivering in the city for a day, waiting for the two waves of troops outside the city to sweep through the city directly, the few families who stayed behind to wait for death found that they seemed to have earned ......

In fact, who is really determined to be in the world, who does not know how to be kind to the people?

I'm afraid that only the people themselves don't understand!

Leaving Xinye, Li Xiuman's whole army went directly to Xiangyang.

Originally, even the normal march of the Shence Army had to take two days from Xinye to Xiangyang, but Li Xiuman only took one day, and on the evening of passing by Xinye City, everyone had already arrived in Xiangyang.

"Duke Wei, you can't rush anymore, you can not sleep, the soldiers still have to rest!"

Outside Xiangyang City, Xu Huabiao took Jin Xuexuan and met Li Xiuman.

Originally, he came to welcome Li Xiuman into the city to rest, and by the way, he also asked Jin Xuexuan to earn some performance in front of Li Xiuman, in case he died inexplicably.

But Li Xiuman put on a posture of "I don't plan to sleep if Park Zhenying doesn't die", which made Xu Huabiao cry and laugh very much.

What made him feel even more crying and laughing was Li Xiuman's self-proclaimed, which suddenly changed from "me" to "lonely".

You've only been closed for a few days, and you've started to call yourself lonely? Then how should I, a person who has been a prince for so long, call myself?

Seo Hwa-biao suddenly remembered Kim Tae-yeon's first solo song......

Ahem.

So, with a little bit of extremely secret ridicule, Xu Huabiao's title to Li Xiuman became "Duke Wei", not the prime minister.

"It doesn't matter." Li Xiuman obviously entered a state of excitement, "Park Zhenying walked less than three or four hundred miles to the south, and he could catch up with ...... in two days."

"When you catch up, the soldiers will be no longer combative." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "It's nothing to rest for a night, even if you catch up a day late, can Park Zhenying go to the sky?" And, you guys! ”

Xu Huabiao glanced at the generals who were following Li Xiuman, and finally, his eyes fell on Zheng Xiujing.

Obviously, Zheng Xiujing's energy is running out.

After running for a day and a night, she couldn't say that she was in a good body......

"It's really not me saying you, you are all generals, don't you understand the truth that the labor division must be a general on an expedition? Don't you know how to persuade Wei Gong? ”

"Lord Xu...... It's not that we don't want to persuade, it's really ......" Kim Taeyeon, who was following Lee so-man, took a sentence a little sneeringly.

"You're also a general, how can you learn to look at people like some small officials!" Xu Huabiao glared at Kim Taeyeon, "Okay, all the generals will follow me into the city to rest for the night, the soldiers are camped outside, you will chase after breakfast tomorrow, I won't stop you!" ”

"Brother Xian, you are really ......" Li Xiuman was amused by Xu Huabiao, of course he understood that Xu Huabiao was kind, so it was inconvenient to say anything, "Okay!" It just so happened that Gu also had to arrange for General Zhuxian and General Ronghe to stay in Xiangyang. ”

"Xu Zhuxian and Zheng Rong and the two generals guarding Xiangyang?"

Hearing Li Xiuman's words, Xu Huabiao, who had just "invited" Li Xiuman into the city, was stunned for a moment.

"Yes! How? ”

"Nothing...... Can I go back to Luoyang? Xu Huabiao immediately had a big smile on his face.

"Don't!" Li Xiuman shook his head with a smile, "Brother Xian finally came out of Luoyang this time, can't you help a few more brothers?" ”

“…… What else do you want me to do? Xu Huabiao's face was depressed.

"Jiangling City is stockpiling Jingzhou's military supplies...... I thought that this time for the southern expedition, I would simply put all the military supplies in Gangneung. Brother Xian, you are too lazy to fight, so why don't you help me take care of the military quartermasters? Back then, Li Yanhao was defeated by the loss of military supplies, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, the only person who can be trusted is you. ”

"Don't !! You can transfer Zheng Xiuyan over for this kind of thing, I won't do this! It can exhaust people!! Xu Huabiao's head shook like a rattle.

The generals around them burst into laughter.

"That'...... Otherwise, I'll let Taeyeon manage the escort and deployment of the quartermasters, and I'll bother Brother Xian, your Shence Army to help me guard the quartermaster camp! How is it? ”

“…… Are you really worried about me going back to Luoyang? Xu Huabiao muttered in a voice that everyone could hear.

"It's not that I'm not worried! Brother Xian, you think too much, but I just think ...... You have a share of the credit for calming the world, so that some people don't think too much! ”

"Okay! Let's go! Xu Huabiao nodded helplessly, "Then I'll go to Jiangling with you tomorrow." ”

"Together tomorrow? That's for the best! ”

……

"Lord, why did you bring Master Xu Huabiao with you?"

In the study room of a mansion in Xiangyang City, Zheng Xiujing asked Li Xiuman in front of her with a serious face.

“…… What, what's the problem? ”

"It's not a problem, have you ever thought about what will happen once we catch up with Park Jin-young?"

"What happened? You mean......"

"Yes! Park Jin-young coerced the people of Xinye to go to Gangneung with him, not without the meaning of self-preservation, in our opinion, these are to promote rebellion, and it is not a pity to kill them, but with the character of Lord Xu Huabiao...... To this day, he still remembers the fact that I was outside Xiapi City for proposing to release water. He's too kind of a woman. Let him follow, and when the time comes, he will delay the fighter! ”

"It's not enough to delay the fighter, right?"

"Lord, have you forgotten, General Guan Yunchang? If he is in enemy formation...... Do you say so? ”

“…… So what do you think I should do? ”

"Let Lord Seo Hwa-pyo stay and wait for General Kim Tae-yeon to go to Gangneung together. He'll be glad to do it. ”

“…… You! It's really hard to use Taeyeon! ”

Li Xiuman smiled and shook his head.

……

"Lord, why did you tell Li Xiuman today that you would go to Jiangling with him tomorrow?"

“…… He let me go! I couldn't say no. ”

"No, you can go, why go with him?"

Bae Joo-hyun looked at Xu Huabiao seriously, with an attitude called contempt in his expression.

Xu Huabiao, who watched it, was uncomfortable.

In the backyard study of the State Pastoral Mansion, Xu Huabiao, Bae Zhuhyun, and Lin Nalian, who didn't know whether to come to watch the play, or if she really planned to help come up with ideas, got together.

"He doesn't worry about me going back to Luoyang, so I'll stay by his side, so he won't have anything to say, right?"

"My lord! Have you forgotten? You must not come into direct contact with Park Jin-young's people right now! You follow Li Xiuman, what's the matter, you still want to help Li Xiuman destroy Park Zhenying? ”

Bae Zhuhyun glared at Xu Huabiao fiercely.

"Okay, Lord Zhuhyun, Xu Gongzi is not a big trouble...... And I guess Li Xiuman won't let Xu Gongzi follow him. He should still think that Xu Gongzi is in the way! Lin Nalian smiled beside her.

"Although this is definitely the case, but my lord, don't show this kind of attitude blindly, it will make the people around you misunderstand."

“…… What is the misunderstanding? ”

"Misunderstanding Childe, you are afraid that Li Xiuman is to the same extent as Jin Xuexuan!" Lin Nalian smiled, "Today, I saw Jin Xuexuan being said by Li Xiuman, and I was almost scared to cry......"

"Alright! I know you like Shin Ji-min, but you don't have to belittle Seo-hyun like that. Xu Huabiao glanced at Lin Nalian, "This is what I taught her!" ”

“…… Childe, you taught? Lin Nalian was slightly stunned and nodded, "So that's the case!" ”

"Jin Xuexuan can be so afraid of Li Xiuman, but you can't, son." Bae Joo-hyun took over the conversation, "If he wants to stare at you, you just let him stare at you?" ”

"Then it's inconvenient for me to refuse his request for me now......"

"You! Just say that you are waiting to go to Gangneung with General Taeyeon's army? Bae Joo-hyun hated that iron could not be made of steel, and interrupted Xu Huabiao's words.

“……”

"So, between Gongzi Xu and General Taeyeon...... What's really there? Lin Nalian instantly understood.

"Like you, I hate to meet when you are not married!" Bae Joo-hyun seized the opportunity to complain about Lin Nalian.

"That's different! When I wanted to follow Xu Gongzi, he didn't want me, saying that as long as I had you, it was enough...... I'm wronged! If you want to follow him, he doesn't want to, I said I'll follow someone else, he doesn't ...... yet"

"This is a man!" Bae Joo-hyun sighed with emotion.

“…… Let's get down to business! I said, why are you two so unanimous when you complain about me! Xu Huabiao was a little speechless and interrupted the singing and harmony of the two.

"Anyway, it is estimated that tomorrow Lee so-man will not let the lord you go with him to chase Park Jin-young, and when the time comes, whether he takes the initiative or you take the initiative yourself, you will have to follow General Kim Tae-yeon's large army to act together, you know?"

"And it's best for you to be more active and excited when the time comes." Lin Nalian nodded, "Anyway, I've heard of your lascivious reputation a long time ago, and no one cares about the exaggeration of your acting." ”

“…… Seriously, in this case, Taeyeon wouldn't be willing to act with me anyway, right? What a shame! Xu Huabiao thought about it and shook his head.

"Lord, you are really ...... I don't feel sorry for your own reputation, but I still take into account General Taeyeon's feelings?? Bae Joo-hyun was speechless, "What we want is for her to refuse!" In this way, we can leave Xiangyang and act on our own. ”

“…… Why should we act on our own? ”

"Lord, what we want is for Park Jinying to escape to Xiakou, not to let him die on the way to Gangneung!"

“…… Do you want the Shence Army to sneak attack the tiger and leopard ride?? ”

"Childe, what Zhu Hyun thinks should be that if he finds that the road on the lord's side is not smooth, he can let the Shence army attack him appropriately first, remind him that when the time comes, he can only burn the jade and stones, and let him escape first." Lin Nalian explained, "After all, the attack of the Shence Army is just a reminder that the tiger and leopard rider has caught up, and that is to strangle ......."

“…… Okay. Xu Huabiao sighed.

How can there be such a tacit understanding between these two people!

Is this what smart people call sympathy?

Then you can't help it...... Ahem.

"There's nothing else to do, I'll go rest first." Lin Nalian stood up, "Alas, I'm going to ride a horse again...... It's a headache just thinking about it! ”

"Your body is too weak...... Well, go and rest! Xu Huabiao nodded.

Lin Nalian left the study.

"You go and rest, too...... What, want to come with me tonight? Xu Huabiao glanced at Bae Joo-hyun.

"I'm going to get ready to get in touch with Luoyang tonight." Bae Joo-hyun shook his head, "I don't have time to serve you!" ”

"One thing to say, every time I serve you, okay!"

"Humph!" Pei Zhuhyun glanced at Xu Huabiao, "But seriously, lord, you don't have the slightest idea of Na Lian accepting her into the room?" ”

“…… What are you doing all of a sudden? ”

"Lord, I think it's right, what Quan Xiaosheng said is right." Bae Joo-hyun looked serious, "If you don't take her in, I always feel that you still don't trust her much...... That's not a good thing. ”

"It's not a good thing!"

"Even I could feel it, and she definitely felt it more clearly...... In this way, she will never really serve you! ”

"But if I ...... with her," Xu Huabiao glanced at Pei Zhuhyun deeply, "Then isn't she almost like you?" Now, you are my chief strategist, and no one can question that! ”

“…… Let's go! Hearing Xu Huabiao say this, a helpless smile appeared on Pei Zhuhyun's face.

He also stood up and draped the sea dragon coat placed next to him.

"By the way, you're going to send a letter back to Luoyang, right?"

"Well, there are some things I want to talk to Ji-eun and the Cultivation Sutra...... How? ”

"You come here to pick it up before you send it away, and I'll draw it and put it on this table in a moment." Xu Huabiao pointed to the desk, "A drawing, give it to Caiyan, and ask her to arrange for someone to send it over." ”

"Make something? Is it so urgent? ”

"We may not be able to go back to Luoyang within a year."

"A year? Where else are we going? ”

"Although Li Xiuman has never fought a water fight, he is not stupid." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Try it on the Yangtze River, and you will know that the sailors trained in Xuanwu Lake before are just decorations." When the time comes, he will definitely have to retrain...... This battle may not be over for a while. ”

"I don't think so...... But it doesn't matter, my lord, you can draw a picture, and I'll write a letter too. ”

"Okay."
