Xu Huabiao returned to Luoyang to recuperate, and Li Xiuman, who had stayed in Chenliu for nearly half a year, finally packed up and left Chenliu to return to Yecheng.

Xu Huabiao only learned about this after Li Xiuman estimated that he had almost arrived in Yecheng.

It was not Jin Yiwei who brought the news, it was Zheng Xiujing who came to pick up the child.

This time, Li Xiuman was seriously ill and dying in Chenliu, and Zheng Xiujing, a strategist who had already resigned and wanted to go back to Shiyi to retire, was ordered to be in danger, and Jin Xiche, who hurried from Yecheng, presided over the overall situation and maintained the stability of the situation, which can be said to be meritorious.

It's just that some people don't plan to reward her for this credit.

"You helped Li Xiuman so much this time, didn't he plan to give you another real errand? Or do you want to go back to the fiefdom? ”

Xu Huabiao was in his study and saw Zheng Xiujing, who was visiting Luoyang for the first time, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"King Wei is planning to arrange for me to be a taishou or something in Langya County, but Young Master Yunhao said, since my fief is in Langya, then don't be too shou in Langya, and since I went to Langya, whether I am too shou or not, in fact, is not a big problem."

Zheng Xiujing smiled, looking at her son who was playing happily with her three sisters next to her, her eyes were full of spoiling.

"The child seems to like Luoyang very much." Xu Huabiao glanced at his eldest son, whom he had never seen much, and his expression was a little complicated.

“…… What do you mean? The smile on Zheng Xiujing's face disappeared instantly.

"Nothing, it's just...... Well, you went to Xuzhou, you have to be more careful. ”

"I understand. The current Xuzhou Mu Jin Hyunya has also been in contact with you for so long, and she should take care of me after I go to Xuzhou. Zheng Xiujing said something in her words.

“…… You went to Xuzhou thinking about this? ”

"Or else? I once said that to help you do everything you have to do, you can't run away halfway! Did you think I was going to pick a son when you first started in Hanzhong? ”

"I thought you were tired......"

"What do I have to be tired of! Compared with my uncle and sister, I don't have to live too freely. Besides, I have to be grateful for being so kind to my uncle and sister. Zheng Xiujing smiled, "It's just that if I don't resign, then things in Hanzhong will be difficult to handle, won't it?" You can rest assured, since I went to Xuzhou, Xuzhou will be handed over to me, I am sure that Jin Hyunya and the whole of Xuzhou will be on your side when necessary. ”

Speaking of this, there was a slight pause.

"And Qingzhou."

“…… Qingzhou? ”

"Well, when I came back from the Sword Pavilion before, I met Park Chulong who came to Chang'an from Anding to meet Li Xiuman in Chang'an." Zheng Xiujing nodded, "She told me some of her things in Qingzhou. After all, being kicked out of his hometown by a little-known scholar is unjust for anyone. ”

"Did she explain to you how to deal with the affairs of Qingzhou?"

"A few people, after I return to Langya and settle down, go to Qingzhou for a turn, and meet with those people who Park Chulong asked me to meet, which should stabilize the situation in Qingzhou. The newly arrived Qingzhou Thorn History...... I'll hollow him out. ”

"Well, you should be safe when you do this, and don't hurt yourself by some people jumping off the wall...... By the way, why don't I arrange for a few guards to go to Langya with you? ”

"No, I have my own guards. Moreover, I don't know better than you what tricks the family can use? Zheng Xiujing smiled, "Anyway, I just want to tell you, you can leave the matter of Qingzhou and Xuzhou to me, and I won't let you down." ”

"Okay." Xu Huabiao nodded very dryly.

"That'...... I'm leaving. Zheng Xiujing nodded and stood up.

"So fast? Aren't all the children's things packed yet......"

"I'm not going to take the kids away!" Zheng Xiujing looked at Xu Huabiao's look of wanting to say goodbye, and smiled: "I...... It's just to come and see the child, and then explain it to you. ”

“…… Are you going to go to Xuzhou by yourself? ”

"I have so many things to do after I go, how can I have time to take care of the children!" Zheng Xiujing glanced at her son with doting and a little helpless eyes, "He has his uncle and sister to take care of him in Luoyang, and he can also help his uncle relieve his inner anxiety and resentment...... I might as well let him continue in Luoyang! Study with children of the same age at Luoyang Academy...... I heard that the teacher who teaches them now is Mr. Shui Jing and Liu Jae-seok? ”

"Well, Liu Zaishi...... I care more about these kids than I thought. Xu Huabiao also looked at his son and nodded.

"That's much better than following me to Langya!" Zheng Xiujing smiled, "Just let him be in Luoyang!" I miss him...... Let's come to Luoyang to see him. ”

“…… Good. ”

Xu Huabiao's eyes jumped.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm here to see the children, not you. ”

"I understand...... By the way, you went to talk to Bae Joo-hyun all night last night, what did you say? Xu Huabiao diverted the topic.

"Oh, we talked about something, you don't need to know."

“…… Don't need to know? ”

"Yes." Zheng Xiujing smiled and nodded, "She told me not to tell you, then I won't tell you." ”

"Mysterious, forget it."

Xu Huabiao saw that the topic had diverged, so he was no longer entangled.

Hiding your own business? Shouldn't it be very important, right? Or is there some other reason......

Forget it, leave it alone.

……

Zheng Xiujing stayed in Luoyang for three days.

In fact, it was with the child for three days.

Although this baby son was born by her hard work, it can be said that the time spent by her own side is less than a fraction of that of staying by Zheng Xiuyan's side.

There is no way, compared to Zheng Xiuyan, who sits in Xuchang all the year round, Zheng Xiujing, who follows Li Xiuman to run around to make suggestions, is indeed living a turbulent life, and she can't let her children suffer with her.

This time, it's the same.

Zheng Xiuyan is the Taishou of Luoyang, staying in Luoyang, and Xu Huabiao's father is covered, and there are books to read......

What more could you ask for?

But fortunately, although she didn't stay by her mother's side much, maybe Zheng Xiuyan's education was good, or maybe the child's own genes were also good......

Ahem.

Anyway, this child is still very filial to Zheng Xiujing.

He's a good son.

When Zheng Xiujing reluctantly left, she was still very comforted.

And after sending Zheng Xiujing away, the parting doesn't seem to end there.

Kim Taeyeon found Xu Huabiao and told him that it was really awkward for him to be idle in Luoyang, and that it was better to go to Chang'an than to eat and sleep in a daze every day, so that he could still have something to do.

In this case, Xu Huabiao has no way to say anything.

For a general who is still attached to the battlefield, staying in Luoyang for retirement is indeed a little sorry for her.

There was no way, Xu Huabiao could only agree to Kim Tae-yeon's request, arrange someone, and send her to Chang'an.

Of course, before leaving, Xu Huabiao spent two days with her that she liked her favorite two-person world where only each other and nothing else existed.

After that, Luoyang seemed to have finally returned to the calm daily life before.

Xu Huabiao's long-lost routine.

Eat and sleep every day, take soldiers to practice, then go to the academy to see the children studying, and at night, do some favorite things in the room, such as playing cards and chess......

A scene of prosperity and peace.

It is also the kind of scene that Xu Huabiao is more accustomed to.

And just like that, soon, half a year passed.

……

"Yikes! Suzy! You tap! It's still a group of kids...... What a dead hand are you! ”

"No, my lord! I could have done it, but those assassins wouldn't ......."

"Yes! Be! You call it out. ”

Xu Huabiao sighed softly and interrupted Pei Xiuzhi's words.

A little pitiful glanced at the group of children of the Shenji Battalion in the courtyard with sad expressions.

In the past six months, Pei Xiuzhi has often changed shifts with Lin Yun'er, exchanging training Shenji Battalion and Shence Army, and it is the same today.

Although Xu Huabiao didn't know how Lin Yun'er trained the Divine Command Army, he knew that every time Pei Xiuzhi came to practice the Divine Machine Battalion, this group of children would have to complain for two days.

There is no way, although this group of children has also awakened the source of strength, there are a few of them, such as An Huizhen and Liu I can even be regarded as masters, but compared to Pei Xiuzhi, who is the second in the world, it is still far worse.

The strength is far behind, but Pei Xiuzhi doesn't plan to spoil this group of children, not only does he not spoil them, but he is very serious.

So...... Every time she changes shifts with Lin Yun'er, it is Good Friday for this group of children.

Even the group of people who had just joined the Shenji Battalion, but even Zheng Endi and Sun Naen, the two deputy commanders, were all bitter and couldn't speak.

Especially Sun Naen, who returned to Luoyang after completing the assassin investigation mission in Yingchuan three months ago, even wanted to continue to return to Yingchuan to investigate the case......

"That, lord, I suddenly remembered, there was news from Xuchang this morning, Lord Pei Zhuhyun asked me to arrange a trip to Xuchang, saying that there is something to ask me to help with...... That one...... Or I'll go first? ”

Seeing that Xu Huabiao's persuasion of Pei Xiuzhi was unsuccessful, and even aroused Pei Xiuzhi's mentality of working seriously, Sun Naen, who was panicked, hurriedly raised his hand and signaled to Xu Huabiao.

"I'll talk about it after training." Bae Xiuzhi glanced at Sun Naen coldly beside him.

"This ......" Sun Naen instantly became dumbfounded.

"Alright, Nan, go ahead! The matter on Xuchang's side is more urgent. Xu Huabiao could only smile and help and say, "It's more troublesome to delay Zhuhyun's matter!" ”

“…… Okay. Hearing Xu Huabiao carry out Bae Joo-hyun, Pei Xiuzhi could only nod.

No way, that demon-like person, in the Assassin's Mansion, is a legend......

You can't mess with anyone!

Sun Naen breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then, in the envious eyes of the children of the Shenji Battalion, she left the backyard of the Thorn Shi Mansion.

"That's it! Training continues! Bae Xiuzhi clapped his hands.

Xu Huabiao obviously saw Zhang Yuanying, who was still envious on his face a second ago, and was shocked twice by the two clappings.

It is estimated that if Pei Xiuzhi is trained like this for a while, this girl will cry and flee back to the Wule Yamen......

Thinking about it like this, Xu Huabiao also returned to his study.

The group of miserable girls outside, he really couldn't stand it.

However, even if he was sitting in the study and didn't use his eyes, he could hear with his ears who was training outside in the competition.

Well, this scream just now was Park Hae-yoon, oh, this time it's Ahn So-bin, eh? Why is it the voice of Tian Jizhen and Lu Zhixuan this time? Are they playing against Suzy two-on-one?

In this way, sitting in the study and testing the training effect with my ears for a while, the study door opened.

The one who pushed the door in was the Golden Cultivation Sutra.

“…… What's wrong, something? ”

Without waiting for Jin Zhijing to speak, Xu Huabiao asked first.

I really don't need to open my mouth, I can see that the expression on her face looks terrible.

"Lord...... Something went wrong. ”

“…… What's up? Li Xiuman is dead? ”

"That's not it, it's ......" Jin Zhijing took a deep breath, "Shouchun is lost." ”

“…… What??? ”
