After Zheng Endi took over the remnants of less than 1,000 soldiers from Jiang Shiqi's hands, he took this group of soldiers to Wudu, Tianshui went around to return to Chang'an, while Jiang Shiqi took the small road and went directly to Chang'an, and then left towards Yecheng in Xuchang.

Xu Huabiao and the rest of the Shenji Battalion rested in place for two days, and then went to Yangping Pass.

It's said to be resting, but it's actually ...... It was Lin Yuner who helped Xu Huabiao heal his injuries.

Two days later, Xu Huabiao was in good spirits.

I can't see the sick appearance of the past half a month at all.

Although there was no more fighting on the way to Yangping Pass, Xu Huabiao's pedestrians were still cautious.

In any case, Li Xiuman's people could not find out that Xu Huabiao had gone to the "enemy-occupied area".

However, with the withdrawal of Jiang Shiqi's soldiers, the original Hanzhong army also became deserters, and the chances of them being found are not great.

I entered Yangping Pass smoothly all the way, and I didn't stop too much, so I went to Hanzhong City.

The journey was smooth again, and we arrived in Hanzhong.

……

"Lord Xu."

“…… Well, Jeon Shoya! Come! Sit! ”

"Are you busy, sir?"

"Oh! No, it's ...... See something. Xu Huabiao smiled and rolled up the cloth roll in his hand and put it next to him, "Why are you here?" ”

"Listen to Lord Yizhi, Lord Xu, you don't plan to enter Hanzhong City this time......"

"It's not convenient for me to go into the city, I have been in Hanzhong for so long before, there may be many people in the city who know me, and some of them may still have contact with Li Xiuman." Xu Huabiao smiled, "More is better than less." ”

"So I'll go out of the city to meet you, Lord Xu." Quan Zhaomi's face was sincere.

"Okay." Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head.

"That...... Uncle Xu, can you tell me the truth? Why did you ask Master Yizhi to arrange for me to claim to be the king of Hanzhong? ”

"That's what you're here to ask today?"

"Hmm. I asked Master Huang Yizhi, and she told me that it was Uncle Xu who arranged it, and she didn't know why......"

"She's just inconvenient to tell you herself, right?" Xu Huabiao couldn't hold back and complained.

“…… So is it the reason why it's hard to say? ”

"Actually, it is not you who wants to be called the king of Hanzhong, it is your stepfather Park Zhenying." Xu Huabiao tidied up the atmosphere and said with a smile, "Your father-in-law is a distant relative recognized by the Son of Heaven, right?" ”

“…… Uncle Huang. ”

"Yes! Li Xiuman pacified Hebei and the Central Plains for the Son of Heaven and was named the King of Wei, and your father-in-law pacified Jingzhou and Yizhou for the Son of Heaven, and the title of the king of Hanzhong is not a big problem...... Moreover, he was originally a clan, didn't he? Xu Huabiao looked at Quan Zhaomi with a smile.

"Lord Xu, what do you mean to use my father-in-law to confront Li Xiuman?"

"Yes." Xu Huabiao nodded, "There is always a positive thing in the world." If your stepfather can carry this flag, it can be regarded as winning the name before and after his death, and I did not treat him badly. ”

Be quiet.

"Uncle, you said yes. If my stepfather is still here, I want to gladly agree to your request back and forth. Jeon nodded.

"Well, you are called the king of Hanzhong in the name of your stepfather, and then you, as the successor, manage Jingyi Erzhou on behalf of Shen Liuzhen, who is not yet an adult, the name of the king of Hanzhong...... If you want it, you can take it, and if you feel too stressed, you can add a code. Xu Huabiao said to Quan Zhaomi with a smile.

"If I don't even dare to make a name, what qualifications do I have to say that I will inherit my father-in-law's will!" Jeon Shōmi shook his head, "In that case, then I'll do what Yezhi-sama asks." ”

"Hmm. After you become the king of Hanzhong, Li Xiuman and the Son of Heaven will definitely make some moves, and even send troops to encircle and suppress them...... When the time comes, there may still be a war on the Hanzhong side, so you get ready. Xu Huabiao smiled and said, "Don't be crushed by that time." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, Li Xiuman couldn't do anything to me when we were in the Sword Pavilion before, and now that I'm in Hanzhong, don't try to drive me back." Quan Zhaomi said with a smile.

"Hmm. Is there anything else you can do besides that? Xu Huabiao nodded.

This sounds like a send-off.

He's really sending off guests, as for the reason......

The cloth roll he had just closed.

"General Xuanmei was outside the tent and said that he wanted to thank his uncle in person for your life-saving grace."

"Then she's coming in! Why do you need to pass the word? ”

"Isn't it because the relationship between General Xuanmei and Uncle you was more awkward before!"

"That's just what she thinks! I've never felt embarrassed! In my opinion, she is the same as General Jung Ji-hoon. Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head, "You invite her to come in and talk!" ”

"Good!" Quan Zhaomi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it is not only himself who feels that the relationship between himself and Li Xuanmei is embarrassing! Xu Huabiao silently complained in his heart that he had just said something wrong.

Not long after Quan Zhaomi walked out, Li Xuanmei walked in.

Thank.

Very embarrassed thanks.

Li Xuanmei obviously has a lot to say, but she is not very good at expressing it.

It's just a little embarrassed and stumbling, and repeatedly says thank you to Xu Huabiao for saving his life.

Later, Xu Huabiao finally couldn't help it, and took the initiative to say that he attached the same importance to Li Xuanmei as Zheng Jixun, and arranged for her to take care of Park Zhenying's widow not because she didn't trust her, but on the contrary, such an important responsibility was given to her, which was a full trust in her, and naturally she would not watch her being burned to death for the sake of tricks, even if it was for Hanzhong County......

Anyway, in the end, Li Xuanmei, who has never been very emotionally exposed, was moved to cry by Xu Huabiao, and then also had a heart-to-heart relationship with Xu Huabiao, and the mental journey of Park Jinying's guard general over the years......

Well, anyway, an hour later, when Li Xuanmei left Xu Huabiao's camp with red and swollen eyes, he was already sure that this general, who had been loyal to Park Jin-young, was now a general that he could fully trust.

This somewhat made Xu Huabiao, who had been delayed for so long, feel a little relieved, otherwise the news at hand that came urgently from Luoyang had already made him restless.

The news came back from Luoyang, and Li Xiuman, who returned to Yecheng with Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Yunhao one step ahead of schedule, had just left the Tiger Prison Pass, and before he arrived at Chenliu, he received the information that Jiang Shiqi was defeated in the battle of Dingjun Mountain and was besieged under Pingyang Pass.

This time, Li Xiuman's expedition from Yecheng to Xichuan was already quite reluctant, and he did not ride a horse but sat in a carriage along the way.

But even so, after nearly a year of continuous travel, Li Xiuman's body was exhausted to the extreme.

At this time, I learned that the general I had chosen to take over the command of the world's soldiers and horses from Kim Tae-yeon, and who was also going to be arranged to protect the heirs of his family, was actually in a desperate situation in front of Yangping Pass, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead......

Thinking of his heir's improper handling of military power, the more Li Xiuman thought about it, the more worried he became.

As a result, his head stroke was out of control.

Straight to the sick.

King Wei Xingyuan just stopped at Chen Liu, and he couldn't leave.

The letter that Xu Huabiao looked at just now, and the information from Luoyang explained the current situation in detail.

In order to avoid the turmoil in the world caused by Li Xiuman's sudden death, Jin Xiche, who was sitting in Yecheng, and Zheng Xiujing, who had originally resigned, have ordered the defenders in various places to strengthen their vigilance and start a curfew.

Cui Xueli, the Taishou of Wudu, Li Zhien, the Taishou of Chang'an, Song Qian of Shouchun, Jin Xiaoyuan, the Taishou of Xiangyang, and Pu Cao'e, the Taishou of Jiangxia, all received orders to immediately reorganize their armies and prevent Jiangdong and Jingyizhou from taking the opportunity to send troops to attack and harass.

The situation no longer looks like it's any more critical.

And Luoyang even received a request from Chen Liu.

Lee Soon-gyu asked Xu Huabiao, a maid who was famous for her medical skills and an apprentice of the divine doctor, Ming Jingnan, to go to Chenliu to help heal him......

Of course, even if Mingjingnan herself has the benevolence of a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, whether it is Zhou Jieqiong or Li Yanxi, or other people in Luoyang City, she will not allow her to jump into this pit: treat Li Xiuman, cure, there is no benefit, if she is not cured, her life will definitely be gone.

So while Luoyang sent an urgent letter to this side, informing Xu Huabiao that she could return to Luoyang, she lied to Chen Liu's side that Mingjingnan was not in Luoyang and was arranging for someone to bring her back......

Xu Huabiao is now very worried that his most considerate little maid will fall into the pit where Li Xiuman is treated!

It seems that he can't continue to spend it here in Hanzhong.

sent away to see Quan Zhaomi and Li Xuanmei, Xu Huabiao directly called Lin Yun'er in.

"Pack up, we're ready to go back to Luoyang."

"Okay, Childe."
