In front of the city gate, Li Luo specially prepared a table for Xiao Chen to see off the banquet.

The two turned over and dismounted, and sat down around the wine table.

"What are you going to do when you get back?" Li Luo asked as he picked up his wine glass.

The two touched a cup, and Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, after the battle of Xia Kingdom, all parties in the world will be more cautious if they want to make a move." For a long time, there should be no fierce collisions, and I thought about what I could do when I returned to Huazhou, which was to eat and wait for death. ”

Li Luo chuckled: "What about Bai Qi, are you so sure that Bai Qi will not target you?" ”

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I know Bai Qi, if he is not completely sure, he will definitely not dare to tear his face with me." ”

Li Luo shook his head and said, "I also said that if you want to deal with Bai Qi, you will just repay the favor of helping Huainan this time." ”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly: "Come on, don't pretend, Huainan has suffered heavy losses after this battle, I'm afraid the most important thing for you is to recuperate." ”

Li Luo smiled with rare embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "Sure enough, our Lord Xiao is getting more and more clear about things. ”

Xiao Chen waved his hand indifferently and said, "By the way, it's you, what are you going to do in the future?" The entry of the Xia State is more complicated than the Wei State, the main force of the Xia State is still there, and the Wu State has successfully held the Heavenly Wolf Pass after this battle, and a flourishing Yan State. Counting you, the current Xia Kingdom is a small battlefield of the Four Kingdoms, and in it, your situation may not be very easy. ”

Li Luo waved his hand, and said with an evil smile: "Have you heard of Miao Jiang's Gu technique?" ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "I've heard a little." ”

Li Luo continued: "Among the Miao Jiang Gu techniques, Gu worms are the most famous. The general method is to put countless poisons into a confined space, let them kill each other in order to survive, and the last one to survive is the Gu King. ”

"Today's Xia Kingdom is a natural Gu breeding place, who can survive in the end, no one knows, everyone's chances of winning are five or five."

"If I have the last laugh in the end, then congratulations, you have gained a powerful ally, but if I am eliminated by others, then it is a pity that you have come to Jeju to help this time, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "Fortunately, although you suffered heavy losses in this battle, the biggest headache for Xia Guo now is probably Yan Guo and Wu Guo, which occupies the Heavenly Wolf Pass." In a short period of time, the flames of war should not burn on your head. ”

"It's just that I'm looking forward to it, when you recover your vitality, how much trouble will you make in the land of Xia Kingdom."

Li Luo picked up his wine glass and said: "You are the same, although Bai Qi will not do anything to you in a short time, but between you, sooner or later there will be a battle, and that battle will completely determine the future belonging of the Wei State, you have to plan early." ”

Raising his head and drinking the wine, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to dominate the Xia Kingdom, and then come to Huazhou to help me." ”

Li Luoha smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I think so too." ”

……

The two exchanged pleasantries, and finally it was time for the final parting, Xiao Chen stood up and waved his hand and said:

"Okay, don't say anything else, it's really time for me to go, let's have a date later."

Li Luo got up and arched his hand: "There will be a period later." ”

Leaving Jeju, Xiao Chen did not return to Huazhou as soon as possible, on the way, Xiao Chen ordered the army to stop at the foot of a mountain, and then rode his horse to the top of the mountain with Han Che.

At the top of the mountain, a tomb stands quietly.

Looking at Ouyang Xu's name on the tombstone, Xiao Chen muttered, "He actually didn't want to kill me, otherwise, I would be dead now." ”

Xiao Chen had always felt regret in his heart about Ouyang Xu's death, so it was necessary for him to tell Han Che the truth of the matter.

Han Che nodded: "I know." ”

"You know?!"

Han Che said: "The day I went back, Senior Zhang told me everything. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, looked at the tombstone in front of him with deep eyes, and said: "He actually didn't do anything wrong in his life, even if it was your father's death, he was ordered and had to do it." But in the end......"

Han Che looked at the grave in front of him and didn't speak.

Xiao Chen suddenly said, "Do you want to take him back to Huazhou?" ”

Han Che shook his head and said, "Father, just bury him here, Huazhou is too close to my father." ”

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "That's fine." ”

The father and son stood on the top of the mountain for a long time.

In the end, Xiao Chen bowed lightly to Ouyang Xu's grave and slowly walked down the mountain with Han Che.

Entering Yong'an, Xiao Chen ordered Xue Wuxing and others to bring the army back to the city, and he and Wu Liang came to a tomb without a tombstone.

In front of him, a small river flowed quietly, the winter snow was gradually melting, and grass was already faintly growing on the grave in front of him.

"This piece of land was chosen by Zhuang Shu himself." Wu Liang said softly on the side: "After Zhuang Shu's death, many people came to dig the grave to vent their anger, and it was I who sent soldiers and horses to garrison this place, which kept him clean at the last point after his death." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, bent down to remove some messy weeds, and muttered, "I still remember the first time I met Zhuang Shu, I looked down on him from the bottom of my heart. ”

Wu Liang echoed: "Don't hide it from the prince, in fact, I am too." ”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Along the way, I owe too many favors that I can't repay. Wu Liang, do you know that the death of these people reminds me all the time that I want to become strong, so strong that I am not afraid of any threats and provocations. ”

"They're forcing me forward."

Wu Liang sighed lightly and did not speak.

The small river flowed quietly, and the two were silent in front of the tomb for a long time.

Looking at the bare tomb in front of him, Wu Liang said softly: "Lord Wang, is it to set up a monument for Zhuang Shu?" ”

Xiao Chen just wanted to agree, but as if he had thought of something, he shook his head lightly and said, "Wait, wait......"

When he returned to Yong'an, the first thing Xiao Chen did was to meet Ling Hujin, Jeju Daehe, and almost everyone who was close to Xiao Chen went.

But it was Xiao Chen's first nominal wife who chose to stay in Yong'an, and Xiao Chen knew that this girl was resentful of taking away his father's rights.

In fact, Xiao Chen is not to blame, the main reason is that Ji Wushuang's strategy was too ruthless, first killed Ji Sheng, and then killed the people in Huazhou who chewed the root of their tongues, after these two bloodsheds, Ling Hu Chu Unless he was a fool, even if Xiao Chen deliberately threw the rights of the three southwestern states to him again, he would not dare to ask for it.

Although the idea was Ji Wushuang's and Zhuang Shu's doing, for Linghu Chu's father and daughter, the real mastermind must be himself, the lord of Huazhou.

Therefore, it is understandable that Hu Jin hates Xiao Chen.

Some people died, but not completely......
