"Lord, are you busy?"

"Ahh Planting scriptures! What, what's wrong? ”

Xu Huabiao smiled and put down the crossbow he had been playing with, and looked at the golden cultivation scripture that walked into the study with a smile.

From Xu Huabiao's madness in Tongquetai to now, a month has passed.

As Xu Huabiao said, early the next morning after arriving in Yecheng, their group left Yecheng.

Lin Yun'er took Saxia Minato, disguised as Xu Huabiao, and rushed back to Chang'an to sit in the town, while Xu Huabiao stayed in Luoyang City.

I stayed for three days, played with my wife and children for three days, and finally became free, and I just watched the latest fifth version of the crossbow in the study for a while, and Jin Zhijing came to the door.

"Has the lord rested enough?" Jin Zhijing smiled and sat on the chair opposite Xu Huabiao.

“…… Do? ”

"Oh, in the last few days, I have seen that the lord and the little lord and the lady seem to be quite happy......"

"Something to talk about!" Xu Huabiao was happy, "Why, if you want to say that I delayed my business because of accompanying my wife and children, just say it." ”

“…… Can't! Can't! I don't have the guts of Ju-hyun-sama......"

"At the beginning, you could have resisted Li Yanhao to imprison you in front of the two armies, why are you so well-behaved when you come to me?" Xu Huabiao smiled, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Oh, my lord, you can almost go to Xuchang." Kim smiled and pulled out a letter from his sleeve.

handed it to Xu Huabiao.

Xu Huabiao took it and looked at it.

The word...... Written by Joo-hyun? ”

"Hmm." Jin Zhijing smiled, "Lord, you really recognize Lord Joohyun's words!" ”

"Her words are so ugly...... Xu Huabiao smiled and returned the letter to Jin Zhijing, "Didn't the letter say, I have to wait for Yun'er to come to Luoyang to pick me up, what is my urgency." ”

"I think you should go first, my lord." Jin Zhijing shook his head, "You can show some people your attitude first." ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Lord, you can go to Xuchang first to close the door and thank you."

“……”

Xu Huabiao was stunned, his mouth open, and he didn't know what to say.

"What, my lord, do you think it's inappropriate?"

“…… I'm here, Yuna must arrive. Xu Huabiao smiled, "I can't make people think that I will leave Yun'er behind and go first." ”

“…… Lord, you insist...... Okay. Jin Zhijing sighed softly, "Then forget it." ”

"What, what's your arrangement?"

"Actually, I was thinking...... Li Xiuman is called the king this time, how many people will die, right? Jin Zhijing said tentatively: "Otherwise, the future will ...... Your lord, you don't have enough reason to raise the banner of righteousness! ”

“…… Dead person? Who do you want me to kill? ”

"Jung so-yeon and ......"

"Stop!! I'm going to Xuchang because I don't want Xiuyan to die. ”

“…… Lord, I'm talking about Zheng Xiuyan, not Zheng Xiujing!! ”

"I know!!"

“……”

“…… Why are you looking at me like that! I didn't mean that! I am...... felt that people like Zheng Xiuyan who had worked hard for Li Xiuman ended up with this...... My conscience does not allow it. Xu Huabiao looked at Jin Zhijing staring at his face, and felt a little weak for no reason.

“…… It's true? ”

"What would you think of the day when I did the same to Ji-eun?" Xu Huabiao asked Jin Zhijing.

Be quiet.

"Okay...... But...... It's impossible for Jung so-yeon not to die, right? If she doesn't die, Li Xiuman, I'm afraid that the matter of being crowned king will be ......"

"Why? Does Xiuyan really oppose Lee so-man's title so much? ”

"Lord, this time this second round of Wang persuasion was actually suppressed by Zheng Xiuyan alone!" Kim Jijing shook the letter written by Bae Joo-hyun in his hand.

The content of the letter is that when Xu Huabiao was on his way back to Luoyang from Yecheng, the civil and military officials in Luoyang City "persuaded" Li Xiuman for the second time and asked the Son of Heaven to be crowned king.

“…… Can she hold it down alone? ”

"Yes! Overwhelming. Jin Zhijing smiled, "That's why I want you to go to Xuchang now...... Anyway, it is estimated that if Li Xiuman wants Zheng Xiuyan to shut up, it should soon reach Xuchang, and when the time comes, it will ...... My lord, if you give us a proper push, we can gain a lot of hope. Therefore, Zheng Xiuyan's life is best not to be protected. ”

“…… Can't you directly pull Zheng Xiuyan to Luoyang? Xu Huabiao frowned, "I...... I really don't want her to die. ”

"Why? Your lord, you ......"

She was right...... That kid was nice. And I'm worried. Xu Huabiao glanced out the window and lowered his voice a little embarrassed: "If Zheng Xiuyan is gone...... Zheng Xiujing is afraid that there will be no good results. In case Zheng Xiujing is also implicated......"

"Okay, I understand, you don't have to force a reason, lord." Jin Zhijing waved his hand, "If you want to save her, save her!" But I can't think of this method for a while, my lord...... Kindness. ”

“…… I suddenly understood why Li Yanhao was able to do such a thing as putting you in prison in Guandu. You're really blocking people sometimes! ”

"Ahh I'm sorry! Lord! ”

"Forget it, in fact, on the way back from Yecheng...... Well, in fact, on the way back from Jingzhou...... Can you please not look at me like that. ”

"Lord, Lord Joo-hyun told me that there was a small action when you lied, and I just saw it."

“…… What? ”

"This ...... I can't say, Lord Joo-hyun reminded me that this is very useful for us to save our lives. ”

“…… Well, in fact, I have been thinking about this since I first saw Zheng Xiuyan in Chenliu. Xu Huabiao was a little embarrassed to tell the truth, "So it's a little ......"

"Wait a minute! Lord Xu! When did you first meet Jung so-yeon? Many years ago, right? ”

"Ahh Oh, yes...... I'm sisters with them...... Ah no, my uncle and nephew have known each other for some years......"

"At that time, you guessed that there would be today?" Jin Zhijing looked strange.

"It's going to come this far." Xu Huabiao smiled, "This is human nature. Well, to get down to business, I thought of a position where I could arrange for Zheng Xiuyan...... I was going to say it again before I left Luoyang......"

“…… Luoyang? Lord, do you really think Zheng Xiuyan is coming to Luoyang...... Is there a place for her? She has been a scholar for so many years, managing Hebei and the Central Plains on behalf of the prime minister......"

"Luoyang Taishou." Xu Huabiao interrupted Jin Zhijing's words.

Be quiet.

"Then how are you going to arrange it, Lord Lee Ji-en?"

"I plan to let her and Zheng Xiuyan share the study and the middle book province." Xu Huabiao continued: "Just give her this position too much, and I plan to tell Zhien about this." ”

"Lord, this is not appropriate, is it?"

"It's the best solution I can think of." Xu Huabiao sighed softly, "When the Son of Heaven mentioned that I was the assassin of Sizhou before, my idea was to leave Luoyang Taishou to Zheng Xiuyan, so I kept it ...... It wasn't until the previous time that I really couldn't help it, and I needed someone to take charge of Luoyang instead of me, so I brought Zhien up. ”

“…… Then you can't demote Ji-eun-sama right now, can you? ”

"I've been struggling with this for the past two days...... Do you have any suggestions? Xu Huabiao smiled helplessly, "If there is no other plan, I can only ask Zhien to forgive me." ”

“…… Can't you arrange another place for Zheng Xiuyan in Sizhou? Hedong ...... Well, I can't move...... Oh! Hongnong Taishou! ”

“…… That's not appropriate. Xiujing was all from Hongnong Taishou to the current Shangdang Taishou, do you think Xiuyan may follow the path that her niece has walked? ”

"This ...... The only positions higher than her current Shang Shuling are the prime minister and the captain! But that's not possible...... In this way, there is really only Luoyang Taishou. Jin Zhijing smiled helplessly.

"That's right! By the way, how much do you think Ji-eun will be angry with me because of this......"

"I think with Lord Jien's loyalty to your lord, even if you directly dismiss her and arrange her to be a housekeeper in the Assassin's Mansion, she will have no opinion." Jin Zhijing began to say words that made Xu Huabiao speechless.

“…… I can't tell Ji-eun like this! ”

"Or else...... Oh! I remember! Lord, when you were in Yecheng before, Li Xiuman seemed to say to the lord, Chang'an is too guarded, you can arrange whoever you want......"

"I refused...... Wait a minute! Are you saying that Zheng Xiuyan should go to Chang'an to be a taishou? Do you believe that Zheng Xiuyan will create Li Xiuman's rebellion? Xu Huabiao glanced at the Golden Cultivation Sutra, "Zheng Xiuyan is a loyal servant of the real Son of Heaven!" ”

“…… No, I mean...... Otherwise, let Lord Zhien go to Chang'an Taishou, and then Luoyang Taishou will be empty? ”

“……”

"Why, lord, are you reluctant to let Lord Zhien leave Luoyang?"

"Ahh No! I'm reviewing. ”

“…… Review? ”

"Yes! I didn't think of such a good way! Xu Huabiao sighed, "Yes, let Zhien control Chang'an, and Zhiyan and Zhiyan are both literate and martial, Chang'an is basically ours......"

"Thank you for the compliment." Jin Zhijing smiled, "That'...... You have to go to Xuchang now. You have to stop Zheng Xiuyan! I'm afraid of her...... Maybe Lord Yun'er hasn't arrived in Luoyang yet, and he's already gone. ”

"No, it won't." Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head, "I have confidence in her at this point." ”

“…… The desire to live? ”

"No, it's faith in things." Xu Huabiao's face was serious, "If she dies now, won't the dream of assisting the Son of Heaven that she wants to do be shattered?" ”

Be quiet.

"Lord, I'm not familiar with Master Zheng Xiuyan, but if she is really such a person as you say...... I don't think it's very likely that you will save her. ”

"Always try." Xu Huabiao smiled helplessly, "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"A good sentence to obey the destiny of heaven, lord...... Well, it's really not an ordinary person. ”

“…… Because I praised you, you slapped me on the back? Let's go! Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head.

Is this a word in this era? Okay......

"Lord, I will arrange for someone to send you to Xuchang?" Sure enough, Kim Jijing has stopped the soulless sycophants that are the same as Bae Joo-hyun.

“…… Not only me, but Jieqiong is going with me. Xu Huabiao nodded.

“…… It's good. The princess must help communicate between the lord and the Son of Heaven at this time, and she can't really make the Son of Heaven feel that the lord is not on his side. ”

"Yes. Then you can arrange it! I will enter Xuchang in the princess's car, and it will not be very eye-catching. ”

"Yes." Jin Zhijing nodded, "Then the lord, you are busy!" I'll go and arrange the escort of the Jinyi guard first. ”

"Well...... Can you help me get Naen to invite Caiyeon? I wanted to tell her about the crossbow. ”

"Oh! Good! ”

……

Kim Chee Jing left.

Xu Huabiao picked up the crossbow again.

Press a trap, snap, and the crossbow arm bounces off.

Xu Huabiao shook his head.

Alas, there is no rubber......
