Chapter 036: Responsible To The End
Long Xiang lay on the couch and smiled knowingly. It seemed that his sudden appearance did not affect Xiaopei's outcome.
The information Tang Yi received was brief. He only knew that Ji Ling was withdrawing his troops from Huainan. He did not know whether Lu Bu came to help or whether the allusion of shooting a halberd at the gate appeared.
At this time, Yuan Shu was furious in Shouchun Palace.
"Trash, a bunch of trash. One hundred thousand people can't take down Xiaopei. Why doesn't Ji Ling die?"
Wine glasses and documents were thrown on the floor in the main hall. A group of civil servants and generals looked at each other in shock. No one dared to stand up and intercede for Ji Ling. They just waited for Yuan Shu to vent to his heart's content.
After a while, Yuan Shu, perhaps tired, slumped down on the table and covered his head.
Do you need to grow up if your brain is not enough? A hundred thousand pigs can crush Xiaopei. Yuan Shu really can't imagine what the result will be.
Just when everyone was frowning and saying nothing, Yan Xiang, the chief secretary, came out and said: "My lord, please put your thunderous fury on hold for a while. We will wait until General Ji comes back to discuss everything. Just before the messenger rushed back to Shouchun, the first batch of grain and grass transporters
The officials have also returned, and I heard that Lu Bu also led an army to appear in Xiaopei, so there must be a reason for this."
"Lu Bu? Could it be that this guy was burned because of his betrothal gift and turned to help Liu Bei and become my enemy?"
Yuan Shu was excited when he heard this, and then he sat upright.
Qiao Rui, who was standing below, felt that something was wrong. He was worried that Long Xiang's matter would be brought up again. He thought that everything would be fine if Ji Ling took Xiao Pei, but he didn't expect that this person was so useless.
"It's hard to say..."
Although Yan Xiang did not answer directly, he denied Lu Bu's character.
"Han Yin sent a letter recently, saying that Chen Gui raised food for Chen Yu to pay off his crimes. Ordinarily, Lu Bu had no reason to help Liu Bei. What went wrong..."
Yuan Shu frowned and muttered to himself. While thinking, he suddenly looked at Yuan Huan below, and asked: "Yao Qing (Yuan Huan), you have always seen people, do you know why Lu Bu is like this?"
Yuan Huan straightened his robes, cupped his hands and replied: "Lü Bu has repeated precedents. This person's behavior is very strange and cannot be judged by common sense. It is better for you to wait patiently. You can know the right and wrong by asking General Ji Ling."
"Is there any wonder? Lu Bu is a profit-seeking villain. He might have some dealings with Chen Gui..."
As Yuan Shu's chief secretary, Yan Xiang was responsible for the overall management of Huainan's money and grain. In the past, the grain ship carrying the betrothal gift was burned, and later Ji Ling returned from Xiaopei without success. This means that Huainan wasted grain and rice, but did not get any benefits.
Income, so he didn't have a good impression of Lu Bu or Chen Gui.
"Wen Ze (Yan Xiang) must have a basis for what he says, and it is not the behavior of a gentleman to tell someone behind his back..." Yuan Huan reminded seriously.
Yan Xiang puffed up his sleeves and snorted: "One hundred thousand grains is not a small amount. If Chen Yu and his men hadn't burned the ship, how could Chen Gui have raised grain to pay for his crime? I don't talk about the rights and wrongs of gentlemen behind their backs. As for Lu Bu's repeated scoundrels, hum.
..”
"Wen Ze is really..." Yuan Huan shook his head.
Yuan Shu saw the two people arguing and got excited, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop it: "Second ministers, don't argue. Wu Jing has gone to take office as the prefect of Guangling. When he captures Chen Yu or his minions, everything will come to light..."
After hearing this, Yan Xiang raised his hands and said yes, while Yuan Huan nodded in affirmation.
Yuan Shu's anger ended in this way, until Ji Ling returned with his troops a few days later, and his anger was once again ignited in the palace.
One hundred thousand troops returned to Shouchun, and all the soldiers and horses returned to their camps. Thousands of soldiers under Qiao Rui's command also returned to their garrison outside the city. The camp instantly became lively.
Tang Wei took advantage of the dressing time to tell Long Xiang the news about Ji Ling again.
"Yunqi, you have always been smart. Ji Ling came back in despair. Do you think it will affect us?" After Tang Wei finished speaking, he stopped what he was doing and lowered his head to ask for his opinion.
"Hiss... why did you stop? The itching there just now is really uncomfortable. Apply more when applying the medicine..." Long Xiang did not answer, he was focusing on the itching area.
Tang Hui smiled and said: "Don't you think my hands are rough this time? It's itching because the wound has gradually healed and new flesh is growing inside. You have to hold it back, not to mention that General Qiao's ointment is really effective."
You can get better so quickly in twenty days..."
"The itching is worse than the pain. I can't reach there with my hands. Why don't you knock me unconscious..." Long Xiang clutched the bed with both hands, his palms covered with sweat.
Tang Wei shook his head and refused: "What can I do if my brain is broken? No matter how hard it is, I have to endure it. Why don't I go ask the young master to come visit again? I found that every time he comes, Yun Qi doesn't say a word..."
"Don't..."
Long Xiang said categorically. He always felt uncomfortable around Qiao Miao. After all, they had a master-servant relationship for two years. He really didn't know how to handle the relationship between the two. It was obviously inappropriate to treat him as his younger brother. He continued to face Qiao Miao as a servant.
Wow, Long Xiang really couldn’t lower his head.
If we are not from the same world, we should not force ourselves to get together.
Long Xiang felt very comfortable staying with Datou Bing, just like he had lived in a wooden house with workers before. Everyone was a worker regardless of their rank.
"Then think of other things, divert your attention, and the itch will go away after a while..."
After hearing this, Long Xiang said to himself, "Hey guys, I have used your method a long time ago, okay? I have stored those action movies in my mind, and I don't know how many of them I have replayed. It's all because I often fast-forwarded when watching movies, so my memory is not good."
It's so profound that, after stitching and editing the plot over and over again, I can only think of a dozen teachers.
"By the way, Uncle Wei, what impact did you just say?" Long Xiang complained in his mind and turned the topic to business.
Tang Wei repeated with a serious face: "I mean, Ji Ling's return empty-handed, will it affect us? My lord sent Wu Jing to be the prefect of Guangling just to capture Chen Yu. I'm afraid the truth will be revealed in the future.
..”
"Oh? That won't happen."
Long Xiang waved his hand on the side of the couch and said to himself that we no longer have enough seats, and the original conflict has escalated. Lu Bu was being clever and shot a halberd at the gate, Ji Ling accepted his defeat and withdrew his troops, but Yuan Shu refused to admit it. With his memory of the history of the Three Kingdoms, Long Xiang
Xiang remembered that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would be enemies. As long as they fought to the death, who would bring up the issue of betrothal ships?
Long Xiang's answer was so simple that Tang Wei had no choice but to believe it due to his lack of intelligence. However, he still relied on his own knowledge and continued to remind him softly: "Yunqi, don't forget that there is Han Yin..."
"It doesn't matter, Han Yin has shit on his butt. Unless his life is threatened, he won't say he will go out. Besides, he doesn't know the details of what happened in Surabaya. Don't worry, Uncle Wei."
"That's good." Tang Wei nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask for instructions: "The twenty brothers originally allocated to Han Yin are still stranded in Xuzhou with the envoy. Is there any way to get them back?"
"Of course. Since you are my soldier, Long Xiang, you must be responsible to the end..."
Long Xiang closed his eyes and meditated, thinking that he had to find a way quickly. When the Yuan and Lu families turned against each other soon, the twenty people would probably not be able to come back.
After a while, Long Xiang turned around and said: "I have mentioned it to General Qiao in the past two days and told him that we are not satisfied with the arrangement of songs now. Let him find a way to transfer those twenty people from Xuzhou back."
"Will Han Yin agree? He only has these twenty guards, and the rest are ordinary followers. If something unexpected happens in Xuzhou..."
"If Lu Bu really has murderous intentions, it will be useless to give Han Yin two hundred guards. When the time comes, you can recommend yourself to General Qiao and send our people to Xiapi to deliver the message..."
"only."
