From Jingzhou back to Yizhou, no matter how fast Jin Xiaojing's actions are, it is impossible to fight back and forth in three or four months. If you add the time she has to persuade the Golden Age, I'm afraid half a year will be less.

It wasn't a pleasant day, but after a very sincere meeting, Hirai Tao and Mingjing Nan, two maids who were considered to be "hard to come over", took on the correspondence between Xu Huabiao and Guan Yunchang in Jiangling City.

Although Guan Yunchang sincerely invited Xu Huabiao to live in the city, Xu Huabiao did not give Guan Yunchang any good looks.

A "you know you're sorry for me" attitude.

Guan Yunchang couldn't help it, because it seemed to be true......

After trying to invite Xu Huabiao twice in person but not seeing Xu Huabiao's face, Guan Yunchang was embarrassed to come to the third trip with a shy face, and the third time he sent Park Zhixiao.

And then......

Xu Huabiao met Park Zhixiao very enthusiastically and said a lot.

That state made Park Zhixiao, who thought that he was here to be scolded and was reluctant to set off from Gangneung City, was stunned.

It took a while for her to accept the explanation that "I just think about my second brother for the sake of Park Jin-young in everything, and I don't think about my brother at all, but he is my second brother after all".

Of course, although the reception was very warm, Xu Huabiao even asked Sun Naen and Miyawaki Sakura to buy wine and drink two bowls with Park Zhixiao, but he still did not agree to move into Gangneung City.

"As soon as I go into town, I come into contact with more people. I came to help my second brother behind Li Xiuman's back this time, and it would be a big trouble if someone reached Li Xiuman's ears. ”

Compared with Xu Huabiao's "There is nothing in Jiangling City, why am I going into the city" that Xu Huabiao directly threw to Second Brother Guan, which sounds like a temper tantrum, this sentence is also much more sincere.

And when Park Zhixiao conveyed Xu Huabiao's words to Guan Yunchang with apprehension, Guan Yunchang finally accepted this explanation.

However......

"Lord Xu has been asking me, General, do you and your wife have any children......" Park Zhixiao's more mouthful made Guan Yunchang, who was full of black lines, decide that in the future, he would contact Xu Huabiao or let Sun Caiying, who had a better brain, go.

Anyway, Xu Huabiao seems to like Sun Caiying's eldest niece......

In such a back and forth, Xu Huabiao officially settled down outside Jiangling City.

And once he settled down, Xu Huabiao's situation that he didn't have much to do in Jiangling became particularly eye-catching.

Although it is inconvenient for Lin Nalian to meet with everyone in Jiangling, she is far busier than Xu Huabiao.

After meeting with everyone in Jiangling that day, she left with Sun Naen, the new guard arranged for her by Xu Huabiao, and did not report to Xu Huabiao whether she went to Xiangyang or Changsha.

Xu Huabiao didn't bother to pay attention.

Every day, in addition to fishing, it is stargazing, and at most, he pulls his guards and maids to play chess, making him look like a hermit......

And just like that, soon, a month passed.

The preparation for sending troops to Yizhou is in low-key and intensive preparations.

Now the 10,000 people may not even be enough to enter Sichuan, let alone divide troops to defend Jiangling, in order to replenish the troops, Guan Yunchang and Li Xuanmei began to recruit troops around Jiangling.

It's just that when Kim Taeyeon withdrew, there was really nothing left for Gangneung, they had neither money nor food, and the progress of recruiting troops was really slow and pitiful.

But this still attracted the attention of some people.

……

"Lord Xu hasn't seen you for a long time! I didn't expect to see you here! ”

“…… Lord Kwon Ji-ryong? How do you ......"

On this day, because the weather was so cold that he couldn't continue fishing by the river, he could only nest in the room, and Xu Huabiao, who was playing chess with a human-shaped stove pillow, saw the people who walked into the house and was stunned.

Jiangdong, Quan Zhilong.

"I was sent to Gangneung on the orders of my lord. I heard that Lord Xu was here, so I came to visit. ”

"Oh! Have a seat! Xiao Nan, go pour a cup of hot water for Lord Quan Zhilong. ”

Xu Huabiao patted the stove in his arms.

“…… Be. Minami Nai ran away with a red face.

Xu Huabiao looked calm and looked at Quan Zhilong.

After a while, Mingjing Nan came in with a pot of hot water and poured a cup for Quan Zhilong.

"Lord Xu...... What a blessing! Quan Zhilong glanced at Mingjing Nan, smiled and shook his head, "The world is in chaos like this, my lord, are you still interested in ...... here?"

"If it's really a blessing, I should be in Luoyang now, not in this Laoshizi place." Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

“…… Lord Xu, we are old friends anyway......"

"There is still a pit in Gangneung City, and my brother who is going to die or live!" Xu Huabiao complained about Guan Yunchang, "You just tell me what you are looking for me, and you don't need to talk about the past." ”

“…… It's been six days since I came from Chaisang, but I haven't seen General Park Jin-young......"

"I'm not familiar with Park Jin-young either." Xu Huabiao waved his hand and interrupted Quan Zhilong's words.

Embarrassed.

Be quiet.

No, if you really don't know each other, you are here, and you don't even have a guard, why didn't Park Jin-young send troops to kill you directly?

Quan Zhilong complained silently in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Stuffy.

"It's normal that you can't see Park Jin-young, he's not in Gangneung at all now."

“…… He went to Jingnan?? ”

"If he really goes to Jingnan, can I be here? I've been in Changsha for a long time, okay! ”

"This ...... Rather. Quan Zhilong nodded, "Then Lord Xu, do you know where General Park Jin-young went?" ”

"How do I know? I didn't even see him when I came to Gangneung this time! And even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you! You yourself go and ask his people to go. ”

"But...... So I didn't come for nothing this time? ”

"What you want to talk about with Park Jin-young, talk about it like Hwang Yi-ji." Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "Now Park Zhenying listens to her in everything." ”

"But this matter must be told to General Park Jinying!"

"Then I can't help it." Xu Huabiao laughed, "Then you just keep waiting!" I've been waiting for a month. ”

“…… Lord Xu, aren't you curious about what I'm talking about? ”

"It's inconvenient for me to meddle too much in Zhini's affairs." Xu Huabiao smiled, "Otherwise, if Li Xiuman sends troops to conquer Jiangdong again in the future, wouldn't it be even more difficult for me?" ”

“…… It's not if, it's ......"

“…… Li Xiuman is free to fight Jiangdong again?? Xu Huabiao was stunned.

No, Li Xiuman didn't even have time to fight in Liangzhou, and he still fought Jiangdong? What do you mean?

"We just heard that someone was suggesting to Li Xiuman, and although Li Xiuman did not agree for the time being, he did not reject it...... We have to prepare for this. Kwon Ji-ryong shook his head, "I came to Gangneung this time to strengthen the alliance between us and General Park Jin-young......"

"Still the Covenant? This Gangneung City thing...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. Xu Huabiao waved his hand.

"I have talked to General Dong Yongpei, and he also admitted that even if Park Zhenying is not taken advantage of, when Lord Xu brings a large army from Jingnan to Jiangling City, we can only give up Gangneung City, and this strategy of entering and occupying Gangneung is too reckless." Quan Zhilong shook his head, "I've also heard that now this Gangneung City is all you lent to General Park Jin-young for him to settle down." We know this very well. ”

“…… You can bear it! Xu Huabiao smiled, "So you're going to talk to them about the covenant again?" ”

"Well, this time it's not just a covenant, it's a marriage contract......"

“…… Zhini wants to be with each other?? Xu Huabiao was stunned for a moment, his face was ridiculous, "No, you are cheating on her......"

"Nope! Of course not the lord! How could the lord marry Park Jin-young......"

"Marrying Park Jin-young? Who? Aren't you eyeing Ji-ni's mother......"

"That's even more impossible!!" Quan Zhilong immediately denied it again, "Yes...... The righteous daughter of the first lord, the righteous sister of the lord......"

"Zhini's sister-in-law? Who is it...... Wait a minute!! Lisa?? Xu Huabiao had a strange expression on his face.

“…… Precisely. ”

"Get out of here!" Xu Huabiao pointed out the door, "If you don't go, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

What Xu Huabiao said in these two sentences can be said to be full of neutrality.

The door opened instantly.

Sakira Miyawaki, who was standing guard outside the door, immediately rushed in.

Holding a long sword, he stared at Quan Zhilong.

"Lord Xu, you ......"

"Roll !!"

"Please, don't force me, this lord." Miyawaki Sakura said coldly to Quan Zhilong.

“…… I'll come back to visit you another day. Quan Zhilong looked embarrassed, turned his head and left.

Sakura Miyawaki was behind him, escorted.

The door was closed.

“…… Childe, why are you so angry? Mingjing Nan looked at Xu Huabiao with a surprised look and asked.

She rarely saw Xu Huabiao so angry.

"Could it be that the lord himself has a crush on the girl named Lisa?" Momo Hirai, who had been silent all the time, interjected and came in.

She had been fanning the fire with a fan and boiling cheese since she had just begun......

"What!" Xu Huabiao waved his hand irritably, "This Lisa must not marry Park Zhenying...... Dong Yong Bae ...... It's too much!! ”

“…… Yes? ”

Minami Nakai and Momo Hirai glanced at each other.

It's all a look of confusion.

I don't understand.

It was at this time that Sakira Miyawaki returned.

"What about people?"

"Send it away, he asked me to tell you, my lord, it's not what you think."

“…… That's it? ”

"He didn't say anything else."

“…… You go, let someone go and get Na Lian back for me, I have to discuss this matter with her. ”

"Okay." Sakira Miyawaki turned around and left directly.

"Childe, why the hell?" Hirai Tao looked at Xu Huabiao's serious expression with a worried face.

"Nothing...... Well...... You don't have to worry about it. ”

"But ......"

"By the way, is the cheese ready?"

"It's going to take a while......" Momo Hirai glanced at Minami a little helplessly.

"Xiao Nan, come here, I'm cold again."

“…… Yes, master. Nai Nan blushed and leaned over.
