"You three, thank you very much, brother Xian. If it weren't for him...... Your head is gone. Li Xiuman's face was very heavy, and his voice was also very heavy.

As soon as the sentence came out, the three guilty people almost knelt down in unison.

"Fake military orders, if it was before, I would have directly pushed you out of the gate and beheaded you, and it dragged on for so many days......"

"Alright, brother, don't be scary." Xu Huabiao was beside him, smiling with a smiling face.

“…… Alas, people are getting old, and they really can't see these anymore! Li Xiuman let out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry, father." Cui Xueli answered with a guilty face.

"It's better for you to cause less trouble than to apologize!" Xu Huabiao answered next to him.

“…… Be. Cui Xueli bowed her head very obediently.

This very obedient appearance made Li Xiuman's heart soften more and more.

He remembered that in Xuchang, the little girl who pickled plums and made wine for himself......

Let out a long sigh.

Xu Huabiao is right! Family and harmony can make everything prosperous!

"The order went down, and two days later, the army marched and returned to Hanzhong." Xu Huabiao looked at Cui Xiuying.

“…… Lord, I'll ......" Cui Xiuying heard Xu Huabiao's words and looked at Li Xiuman in a daze.

"You can't withdraw!" Li Xiuman glared at Cui Xiuying fiercely, "You leave me behind." On the way here before, didn't you take a fancy to a mountain and say that you could set up camp there and hold the Sword Pavilion? You go there and garrison me!" After I return to Yecheng, I'll talk about your arrangements. ”

“…… Be. Choi so-young took the order.

Well, stationed on the main road, it seems that he can't return to Yecheng, but in fact, he ...... Not necessarily a bad thing.

"And you." Li Xiuman looked at Cui Xueli, "Are you in a hurry to go back to Yecheng?" ”

“……”

"Don't go back to Yecheng in the future. Go to Wudu and be a guard for me. ”

“…… Yes??? Cui Xueli was dumbfounded.

"Ahhh And you, Jin Yilin! ”

"Lord ......"

"You go to Wudu to assist Shirley, when Xichuan is calm, when will you come back to see me." Li Xiuman glanced at Jin Yilin deeply, "If you can't do it, don't come back." ”

“…… Be. ”

"Father's !!" Cui Shirley was already crying.

"Get out!" Li Xiuman waved his hand, "I don't want to be upset." ”

"Yes." Jin Yilin stood up first, and then pulled Cui Xueli, who was kneeling there crying and not wanting to get up, and walked out of the camp.

Choi so-young is at the back.

"My lord, then I'll give the order to go down and prepare to withdraw the army?"

"Hmm. Take care to prevent the people who close it from chasing. ”

"Yes." Choi so-young nodded, and left.

"Okay, brother, don't be emotional, the child will always leave home when he grows up." Xu Huabiao looked at Li Xiuman, who had a complicated expression, and comforted, "You're doing this for her good, aren't you?" ”

Be quiet.

"Shirley is over to you."

"As long as I can live well, she won't die like she did in Yecheng...... I'll keep her safe for the rest of her life. Xu Huabiao nodded.

“…… Good. ”

Li Xiuman let out a long sigh again, looked outside the tent, and didn't speak again for a long time.

……

The next day, the Sword Pavilion was closed.

"What? Isn't it Li Xiuman's side that should attack the city today? Why hasn't there been any movement so late? ”

"General Hui, ...... today I don't know. ”

The soldier shook his head at Zheng Zhixun and glanced at the bottom of the gate.

A calm look.

“…… Go and ask for a military advisor. Zheng Zhixun looked at the close, a little worried.

"Yes."

Not much.

……

"I think Li Xiuman should be withdrawing."

After staring at the enemy barracks closed for a long time, Huang Yizhi said to Zheng Zhixun.

"Withdrawal? Are you sure? ”

"Although the news from Jingzhou has not yet arrived, I think it may be that General Guan's side has won a big victory, and Li Xiuman can't continue to consume this." Huang Yizhi nodded, "Didn't our spies say that the tiger and leopard under Li Xiuman's command left to return to Hanzhong?" In the past few days, it seems that his army is also about to withdraw. ”

“…… The second brother won the battle! Zheng Jixun had an envious expression on his face.

"General Zheng, you don't have to worry, when Li Xiuman retreats, it will be a good time for us to march into Hanzhong and defeat Hanzhong...... General, your prestige will spread. ”

"Hmm." Zheng Zhixun sighed softly, "If the eldest brother is still there...... That's it. ”

“…… General Park Ji-yin. Huang Yizhi didn't plan to take this stubble, but looked at Park Zhiyin.

"Yes." Park Zhiyin nodded, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Li Xiuman's withdrawal will definitely leave behind the palace, you lead your troops and horses, and prepare to pursue the enemy army behind the palace."

"Yes."

"General Sun Zhouyan."

"In!"

"You lead your cavalry and prepare to go out of the pass to pursue and harass the enemy army, and you can't let them return to Yangping Pass smoothly."

"Yes."

"General Jung Ji Hoon......"

"What do you command?"

"Sort out the soldiers, this time...... We're really going to storm Yangpingguan. ”

"Good!" Zheng Zhixun took a deep breath and nodded.

……

"Uncle Xu......"

“…… It's okay for you to stop calling me uncle, call me Lord Xu! Otherwise, the seniority between you and Yun'er will be too messy. ”

Under the Sword Pavilion, Li Xiuman was in the army camp.

Xu Huabiao and Shenji Battalion, who had already packed their things and were ready to go on the road first, ushered in the people who wanted to go on the road with him.

Sherry Cui.

and a few guards she brought with her, as well as her only staff, Jin Yilin.

Although Li Xiuman was already preparing to withdraw the army, he could not leave in a while, and it would take two or three days to prepare and then evacuate.

Xu Huabiao was not interested in waiting for the army to leave together.

More importantly, he also has a "mission".

In this era, there is no old saying about sending Buddha to the West, but what Xu Huabiao plans to do is exactly what this sentence says.

He was going to send Cui Xueli to Wudu.

This is the request that Li Xiuman, as a father, give Xu Huabiao that night.

"I'm worried that with just a few of her guards, she may not be able to make it to Wudu alive, let alone be too guarded there."

Li Xiuman said.

Although Xu Huabiao was a little impatient, in the face of an old father's last worry about his daughter, Xu Huabiao couldn't do it completely.

Moreover, compared to passing through Hanzhong to return to Chang'an, Xu Huabiao wanted to go back from Wudu to Tianshui......

He really didn't want to see Lee Kwang-so.

Besides, Xu Huabiao and Lin Nalian have made so many shady preparations, in order to let Hanzhong transfer from Li Xiuman's subordinates to Quan Zhaomi's name at a later time.

If you don't go there now, you can avoid suspicion.

"Lord Xu...... This time, thank you very much. Cui Xueli glanced at Lin Yun'er, who was following Xu Huabiao, and then remembered that she had called Xu Huabiao her brother-in-law before, and she also smiled.

Oh, yes! was originally a brother-in-law, but suddenly became an uncle...... Is it just because of his father's trust and reliance on him?

"You thank me...... It's not as good as Xie Yun'er. Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head, "If she hadn't pestered me, I really wouldn't want to get involved in your affairs." ”

“…… Thank you, Sister Yuna. ”

"Alright! Shirley, have you packed your things? Lin Yun'er smiled and shook her head.

"Packed up, we'...... Is this the way to go? Cui Xueli looked at Xu Huabiao and asked.

"Let's go! Here in the Sword Pavilion, the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes! Xu Huabiao shook his head with a smile and glanced at Zheng Endi.

Zheng En nodded, went to arrange for the Shenji Battalion to prepare for immediate departure.

"Lord Xu, this time I caused trouble, the young lady ......" Jin Yilin accosted Xu Huabiao next to her.

This is the first time she has spoken to Xu Huabiao.

"What is harm! You're saving her! Xu Huabiao interrupted Jin Yilin's words, "Why, do you really think Shirley still has hope?"

Xu Huabiao said this very bluntly.

Jin Yilin was bored.

Cui Xueli was stunned.

It's been a while.

"My brother-in-law is right. I...... After all, it's just wishful thinking. Cui Shirley sighed softly.

"It's hard to learn to take chances, and it's even harder to learn to give up." Xu Huabiao took a deep look at Cui Xueli, "In Wudu, you should study hard and learn when to give up!" There is nothing more important than life in this world, and I hope you will understand that. ”

“…… Be. ”

"Let's go." Xu Huabiao saw the side, Zheng Endi and Sun Naen signaled to him from a distance that they could go on the road, and said to Cui Xueli.

"Okay."

……
