In Jiangzhou City, Xu Huabiao asked his soldiers to repair for a day.

This was the first time that the army had rested since the departure from Gangneung.

In fact, Xu Huabiao feels that a day is not even enough to get a good night's sleep: because he himself knows it deeply.

But for the soldiers, it's always better than spinning.

After the repair, Xu Huabiao took the 10,000 people after the reorganization and embarked on the road to continue westward, leaving Yu Dingyan with only 500 defenders left in Jiangzhou.

The journey was very smooth, five days, just like the time indicated on the topographic map, Xu Huabiao arrived on time at the county seat of Pasir County, outside Langzhong City.

It's just that Xu Huabiao didn't see Qiu Suojing who came to see him as a courtier after being persuaded to surrender by Yin Baola and Zheng Endi.

And these two people did not flee back to the barracks in disgrace.

"Are you two alright?"

Seeing that the two people who greeted him outside the city were still human-looking, Xu Huabiao was not too worried, but asked a little curiously.

"Of course it's fine. The lord has worked hard all the way, hurry up and go into the city to rest! The one who answered Xu Huabiao was Zheng Endi who was smiling.

"Into the city? What about the quiet of autumn? ”

"Lord Qiu Suojing said that she could not turn her back on the Jin Age, but she also knew that she was powerless to resist the power of the Lord, and she did not want the people to fall into war. The adults just have to go into the city with the general, she ...... Still in the city. ”

“…… Okay. Xu Huabiao nodded.

Well, this is an official who refuses to surrender himself, but also feels sorry for the people and does not want them to be warn!

Not bad.

But......

Xu Huabiao thought of the news he received from Fucheng the day before yesterday.

The situation over there is actually not very optimistic, and Quan Zhaomi, who sent the message, asked himself to go as soon as possible.

This good official, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to persuade him to surrender.

"Li Cai plays the girl."

"Ahh Lord! You don't have to call me that! ”

Li Caiyan, who came with Xu Huabiao, heard Xu Huabiao's shout and hurriedly came over from the side.

"And ...... Miki! ”

"Ahh At! Meng Meiqi replied very simply.

"You take 200 people and enter Fucheng." Xu Huabiao looked at the two and said, "Don't disturb the people." ”

"Yes, my lord." The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Lord, you're not going to go into the city?" Zheng Endi was stunned for a moment, "That Lord Qiu Suojing is a very interesting person......"

"By the way, Miki......"

"Ahh I understand! will definitely persuade Lord Qiu Suojing to change his mind. Meng Meiqi immediately understood.

"Well, over to you. After persuasion, bring her to meet me in the army. Xu Huabiao nodded, then looked at Jin Suen, "Let's go, move on." ”

"Yes!"

……

"How is it, has Xu Huabiao entered the city?"

"Miss Hui, Xu Huabiao...... Went straight around the city and continued west. ”

“…… Going around the city? Is Fucheng already so nervous? ”

"This slave doesn't know."

The little maid shook her head and looked at Qiu Suojing, who was sitting in the hall thoughtfully.

"That's right......" Akisho nodded noncommittally.

"Miss, the slave has a lot of words, since you are ready to take refuge in Xu Huabiao, why do you still appear like this? Just now, General Yin Baola came to persuade you to go out of the city to meet Xu Huabiao, but you still refused to ......"

"You know what!" Qiu Suojing interrupted her maid's words, "I heard Yin Paula say that Li Luduo is now very important in Xu Huabiao's army, and when she was in Brazil County, I didn't give her a good face. If I am directly persuaded by Yin Baola to go to see Xu Huabiao like this, it is very likely that he will continue to ask me to be the Taishou of Langzhong, and I am afraid that I will be bullied by Li Luduo in the future...... So I have to show something in front of Xu Huabiao. ”

“…… But he didn't go into the city. The little maid complained about the silence of autumn.

Autumn is quiet and stuffy.

It's been a while.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I'm just talking about it."

"Forget it, it seems that Xu Huabiao doesn't have the legendary name of Aicai......"

The voice did not fall.

A subordinate walked in from outside.

"Your Excellency, there are guests from outside who want to see you."

"Who?"

She claimed to be Meng Meiqi, the deputy commander of the Shence Army under Xu Huabiao. said that it was on behalf of Xu Huabiao to ask the adults to go out of the mountain to help. ”

“…… The deputy commander of the Shence Army? Qiu Suojing was slightly stunned and stood up, "This name sounds familiar...... Well, okay, I'll go out and meet. ”

"Miss, don't you want to see Xu Huabiao?"

"Everyone Xu Huabiao is gone!" Qiu Suojing's face was depressed, "I specially sent someone to see me, if I don't care...... Then you really have to farm at home for the rest of your life. ”

"But in case it is ...... by Li Luduo"

"I'll talk to the messenger in a moment. The deputy commander of the Shence Army should be regarded as Xu Huabiao's cronies, and it doesn't hurt to say this kind of thing. Qiu Suojing shook his head, and then followed the person who reported the news and walked out of the room together.

……

"Uncle Xu! You're finally here!! ”

“…… What are you doing? Attention! You're the boss here! Look like a manager! ”

“…… I'm sorry, I'm so excited. ”

Quan Zhaomi wiped his face, and then smiled at Xu Huabiao.

Outside Fucheng City.

Xu Huabiao, who had marched all the way, finally arrived here and met Quan Zhaomi, who came out of the city to greet him, and Guan Yunchang.

"Second brother." Xu Huabiao walked up to Guan Yunchang and patted Guan Yunchang on the shoulder.

"Hua Biao, this time...... I'm sorry for you. Guan Yunchang's expression looked a little strange.

"What do you do with what your brother says...... By the way, what about Huang Yizhi? Isn't her injury ......?"

"It's not good! It's getting heavier and heavier. ”

"Then why is it not mentioned in the letter sent by Shoya? I thought she was fine! ”

"This ...... It was Ichiz-sama who wouldn't let me say it. Quan Zhaomi shook his head a little embarrassed, "She said that she didn't want Uncle Xu to mess up with you." ”

“…… Alright, let's go to the city! The soldiers came all the way and needed to rest. I've got to meet her, too. Xu Huabiao sighed softly.

"Oh! Uncle Xu, please! Jeon made an inviting gesture.

Following Quan Zhaomi and Guan Yunchang, Xu Huabiao walked into Fucheng.

……

At the gates of the city.

"Lord Xu, I'm sorry, I was on duty in the city today, and I couldn't go out to meet you......"

"Okay, if you want to be so verbose, it's not General Zheng Zhixun." Xu Huabiao smiled and patted Zheng Zhixun's shoulder.

“…… My wife wrote to warn me that I must be polite to Lord Xu, otherwise...... Well, so, Lord Xu, if my wife asks......"

“…… I understand! Got it! ”

Xu Huabiao smiled and nodded.

Men who are afraid of their wives are good men......

Ahem.

……

"Yezhi?"

"Ahh Lord! There you are? ”

"Hmm. You okay? ”

"It's okay if you can't say it...... But it's okay, I can't die. ”

Huang Yizhi barely smiled on his face, propped himself up, and wanted to sit up from the bed.

"Lie down!"

Xu Huabiao, who had just walked into the house, hurriedly walked over and helped her lie down again.

"I'm sorry, my lord......"

"What's there to be sorry about. The idea of letting Jeon Zhaoya and them enter the river is what I thought, and I am sorry that you are ......"

"It's not because of this...... Ahem...... Go down. Huang Yizhi glanced at the two maids in the room.

"Yes."

The two maids glanced at each other and left together.

"What, what's something I don't know?"

Xu Huabiao looked at Huang Yizhi's expression and knew that something was wrong.

"I'm sorry, lord, I should die."

“…… What? What do you mean? Xu Huabiao was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?" I don't understand. What should be dead ......"

"Actually......" Huang Yizhi glanced outside the door, "Actually, when I led the troops out of the city to greet Quan Zhaomi, I already knew that Jiang Zhixian was ambushed there." ”

“…… Then you also!! Are you kidding with your life?? ”

"No kidding." Huang Yizhi shook his head, "I've already thought about it, I went out of the city and was ambushed to death, so that the lord has a sufficient reason to ask the master of the Golden Age!" In addition, after I die, the military power of Park Jinying's army will fall into the hands of General Kwan, and General Kwan...... Well, there is no difference between that and the power of the lord and you who are in charge of Park Jinying. ”

"Park Jin-young's military power?" Xu Huabiao seemed to understand something.

"Yes, after more than half a year from Jiangling to Sichuan to Fucheng here, both General Guan Yunchang and General Zheng Zhixun have realized that they have no ability to help Quan Zhaomi, and even Shen Liuzhen, who is still in infancy. The desire to help them lay a foundation to realize Park Jin-young's unfinished business has faded a lot. It's just that because I'm still here, they still have something to rely on, if I die...... They should join your lordship. ”

"Is it in your heart that I will exchange this life of yours for their allegiance?"

"Lord, although you don't say it, I know that you actually don't like me very much all along......"

“…… Before I had the heart to compete with Li Xiu for the world, I didn't like you. But now ......"

"Then I didn't look better!"

"I don't like what you have to do with your looks!" Xu Huabiao was speechless, "I don't think you're so bad-looking...... I don't like you because you want to motivate me to fight for the world! ”

"But before, I designed Quan Xiaosheng so that she almost killed her father-in-law."

“…… I even forgave Quan Xiaosheng, let alone you. Xu Huabiao sighed with a smile, "She is now outside Luoyang City, and she reads books every day in addition to eating and sleeping, and her life is not too comfortable." ”

"But, my lord, don't you have Na Lian and Bae Joo-hyun under your command......"

"The world is so big, can't it accommodate you, Na Lian and Zhu Hyun?" Xu Huabiao shook his head gently, "You hurry up and get me better, Shuzhong still needs you to be in charge." ”

"Lord......" Huang Yizhi's eyes were a little red.

"Okay, even if you owe me my life before, this time you gave me back by jumping into a trap to fight for me in the name of revenge......"

"It's my men who have traded their lives for mine."

"Well, then you have to live well even for them, understand?"

“…… Be. ”

"Okay, stop talking, I'll help you heal." Xu Huabiao stretched out his hand and held Huang Yizhi's hand.

"Ahh Lord! Huang Yizhi was a little flustered for a moment.

"It's just a cure." Xu Huabiao's face was serious, and he operated the source of strength.

Soon.

"Ahh Lord! Are you okay!! ”

Huang Yizhi saw Xu Huabiao spit out a mouthful of blood.

"I'm fine. I'm much stronger than you. Xu Huabiao stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Your injury this time is really serious!" ”

“…… Your lord, you just ......"

"It's okay, well, you have a good rest, this time it should be almost fine in three or five days."

"Lord ......"

"I went to rest. Well, your injury, even if it's me, I have to take care of it. Xu Huabiao stood up, his body was a little shaky.

“…… Thank you, Lord. ”

"Alright, you and I don't have to talk about that. Get a good rest for a few days and ...... I'll leave the matter of attacking Chengdu to you...... Well, there are a few people I brought with me from Jingzhou. They are all at your command. ”

“…… Be. Huang Yizhi nodded at Xu Huabiao seriously.

……
