Xie Fu gave a faint hum, but what he was thinking about was waiting to see Sister Qianqian, and contacting the Su family through Sister Qianqian's relationship. For now, he focused on major matters, and other grievances could be put aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, I walked to the south of the city and after a little inquiry, I came to a mansion. The plaque on the top of the mansion read the four characters of "Luoshi Family".
The door was opened, and the two lanterns under the eaves were shining with trembling candlelight. The two people at the door had been waiting for a long time. It was Li Huirong's right-hand man, who sent an imperial edict to Bai Yue and a letter of pardon to Xue Yu.
Xue Yu smiled and said hello: "Thank you, Mr. Sir."
Calling an lord is too polite, calling a prince is more dignified. Only calling him "Thank you sir" reflects the friendship of those days when we fought together in the Yuchen Mountains against powerful enemies.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "The two gentlemen still have the same style, and you can help lead the way."
However, the two of them unanimously set their sights on Xiao Yu'er. No one who could stay by Xie Fu's side was a small person, either a devil or a saint.
Although there was no malicious intent in their eyes, Xiao Yu'er looked extremely uncomfortable. You must know that everything has to wait until Bai Yue and Xue Yu take a direct look.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Let me introduce you to Lin Yucheng, a friend I met in Jiancheng."
The two of them cupped their hands and said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry."
It had been a long time since Xiao Yu'er had been so respected by anyone, and she just felt that her former identity as the Miss Lin family had returned.
The two of them led the way: "Thank you, Mr. Master, please."
Walking diagonally through the bamboo path and winding around the pine corridor, Xie Fu said with a smile: "The place where Miss Li lives is quiet and elegant."
Xue Yu answered: "There are many people in this restaurant and inn, so I bought a house and hung a plaque on it, which can be regarded as a place to stay."
Bai Yue said: "If Mr. Xie has been to Li Mansion, then he will know what it means to be quiet and elegant, with a high hall and a bright house."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "I will definitely visit you if I have the opportunity."
Not long after, I came to a hall. There were plum blossoms hanging on the railings outside, the plum blossoms were blooming proudly, the fragrance was fragrant, and the indoor lights were bright. Li Huirong had already prepared a banquet of wine and food and was waiting for a long time.
Xie Fu looked at Xiao Yu'er: "Xiao Yu'er, why don't you go take a bath first."
Xiao Yu'er was confused, Xue Yu smiled and said: "Miss Lin, come with me,"
Xiao Yuer immediately understood that Xie Fu had something to discuss, so she followed Xue Yu. She was going to die anyway, so she was not afraid that Xie Fu would buy her.
Xie Fu walked into the hall, Li Huirong stood up, held up his sleeves and raised his hands: "Please."
Xie Fu said: "Why are you so polite?"
Li Huirong chuckled: "I should have said this, but you have taken over the spotlight so quickly. I haven't seen you for several years, and we are just strangers for a while."
As he spoke, he looked at the rough-faced man in front of him with his bright eyes, and a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if teasing: "I haven't seen you in a few years, you have aged a lot."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "If my appearance fades, my personality will remain the same."
This is also an implicit expression to Li Huirong that no matter how his identity and position change, he is still the same Xie Fu back then.
Li Huirong was so smart that he naturally understood. He smiled brightly and poured wine for Mr. Xie.
Xie Fu looked at Li Huirong. When he first met her, she was a young girl and a hero. After many years, she looked more mature and calm in appearance, and she became a young girl in her years.
"Miss Li, you have changed."
Li Huirong Yanran: "What has changed?"
"appearance."
Li Huirong Baiyu touched his face with his hand: "You are getting older, aren't you?"
"It's rude to say that you are getting older. It should be said that a green peach is stained with its first blush."
Li Huirong chuckled: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, you are still so charming and suave."
"Perhaps it can also be said that from a heroic appearance to a hidden edge." Xie Fu said and drank the wine in the cup with enthusiasm: "Good wine."
Li Huirong also poured a small amount of wine into his wine glass, brought it to his mouth and sipped it carefully.
However, Xie Fu's mind showed her heroic appearance of drinking half of the wine bag in one breath. She had indeed changed, but he couldn't tell where she had changed. He said softly: "You seem to have really changed."
As she spoke, she filled her glass with wine, then filled her own glass, and took the initiative to raise the wine: "Do you still remember the scene of drinking together at Yuchen Mountain? How heroic you are, half of the wine bag is filled with one gulp."
Li Huirong chuckled, but Xie Fu acted first out of respect, as if he was looking for the kind of common ground and resonance he had back then.
After Xie Fu finished drinking a glass of wine, Li Huirong remained motionless. There was no shortage of wine in the glass. Of course she understood what Xie Fu meant. That day at Yuchen Mountain, the two of them had a heart-to-heart relationship as classmates, and said softly:
"We always want to find someone with whom we can share our pain and sorrow, but most of the time..."
Li Huirong choked his words and did not continue. Xie Fu blurted out: "But most of the time, our earth-shattering pains are just dust in the eyes of others. Perhaps human loneliness is the result of joy and sorrow."
Cross."
Li Huirong looked surprised. This was exactly what she wanted to say. Xie Fu picked up the wine glass in front of her and poured it directly into her mouth.
Perhaps Li Huirong had not been used to drinking like this for a long time, and he choked and coughed repeatedly. Xie Fu laughed loudly: "Women are women, no matter how much you pretend to be, you will always be women."
Although he was choked and the strong alcohol penetrated his intestines, the familiar heroic feeling lingered in his chest, and Li Huirong couldn't help laughing: "Thank you, Fu, it seems that you have experienced a lot in these years."
Xie Fu smiled: "What about you?"
The words "Where are you" made Li Huirong blurt out the anguish in his heart, but he had no way of talking about it, so he simply poured himself a drink and thanked Fu Moran for accompanying him.
Li Huirong drank several drinks in one breath, and Xie Fu also drank several drinks with him. Both of them found the refreshing feeling of drinking with a wine jar in Yuchen Mountain.
They looked at each other and laughed in unison. This was probably the feeling of meeting old friends again, that kind of silent resonance.
Li Huirong looked into Xie Fu's eyes and said softly: "You are the only person who has stared at me for so long without blinking or avoiding, and with such clean eyes."
Xie Fu said: "You said it."
"Well, you still remember."
"Why don't you remember? I still remember our classmates."
This time it was Li Huirong who took the initiative and said, "How about I tell you about myself?"
"Well, tell me about yourself. Last time you told the story of a woman who went to see a doctor behind her husband's back, only to have her money stolen. I really can't relate to that."
Li Huirong smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Fu, I was still very young at that time. When I came in, I saw my mother hanging under the beam and hanging herself to death. I held her feet and cried loudly. They just looked on indifferently.
,Including my father..."
Li Huirong's body trembled slightly as she spoke, and tears flowed from her eyes just like last time.
Xie Fu suddenly understood that the sad story she told in Yuchen Mountain was her story, but in a different shell, the result was the same sadness and despair.
Li Huirong's tears and the sadness in his eyes seemed to be transferred to him all of a sudden, making him feel sad and uncomfortable as well. When you experience that feeling, there are traces in your heart.
Xie Fu hugged Li Huirong fiercely and said, "I'm even more miserable than you. I've never seen my parents. If they're dead, I don't know where to go to pay homage."
He was so sad and touching, but he couldn't help but murmured: "The woman I loved died, but I didn't even find her body. What's hateful is that she loved me so much, but I couldn't even give her the courage to stand by her side.
No, I often miss her and dream about her, but I can never see her again..."
"She is really nice. I dreamed of her again that day. In the dream, she said to me: "Xie Fu, how have you been in these years? Does your wife love you as much as I do? Love you enough to be willing to
I will die for you. If she is such a woman, then let her continue to love you on my behalf. I should have spent the rest of my life loving you slowly. I left so fast. You must be very sad. If
If you miss me, just look at the stars you were born with and I can see you."
Xie Fu said vaguely: ""I told her loudly that I missed her very much, and it made my heart hurt, but she seemed unable to hear..."
Li Huirong felt that his clothes were a little damp and hot. When he lowered his head, he saw that Fu Xie was wailing silently, full of tears.
Xie Fu immediately felt no sadness at all, and said lightly: "You are worse off than me."
"I am worse off than you, much worse than you."
Seeing him acting like a little girl, with tears still in his eyes, Li Huirong couldn't help but smile, but he was also moved by his sincerity and sincerity. He grinned, wanting to smile, but not daring to laugh, wanting to be sad and sad at the same time
Can't get up.
I didn't know how to express words of comfort, so I gently used my palms to soothe his back.
It took Fu Xie a long time to recover from this emotion. He said, "I'll make you laugh."
.
Seeing his appearance, Li Huirong smiled and wanted to wipe his tears with something, but she didn't carry a silk handkerchief with her like other little girls, so she wiped the tears on Xie Fu's face with her sleeves and said lightly
: "So this is how men cry?"
Xie Fu took her hand away and used his sleeve as a face towel. After wiping it dry, he rubbed his face: "You are talking nonsense. How could you not see the man crying?"
Li Huirong said calmly: "I have seen it, but I can't feel their sadness at all. It's like I haven't seen it."
Xie Fu drank a glass of wine, and the burning sensation penetrated his throat. After adjusting his condition, he said, "I almost forgot the purpose of coming to see you tonight."
Li Huirong smiled and said: "We haven't seen each other for many years. It's not too late to talk about business after catching up on old times."
"Tell me, why did you give up those armor-piercing arrows to the enemy?"
Li Huirong responded: "If there is no armor-piercing bow, those armor-piercing arrows are just a pile of iron."
"Okay, even if the armor-piercing arrow doesn't work in Beidi's hands, it is a big weapon for us."
Li Huirong said calmly: "Beidi has obtained this batch of armor-piercing arrows. Naturally, they have to be transported back to China. I have asked Lu Huimi to lead Fan Yang's army and Chen Bing's border to cut off the exit route."
Xie Fu asked: "Do you want to steal these armor-piercing arrows?"
Li Huirong shook his head: "How can such an important thing be snatched away so easily by others? Naturally, Beidi will send troops to escort it. If Fan Yang's army threatens, Beidi will also send an equal number of troops. In this way, Tongguan side,
The pressure on Shuofang's army will be greatly reduced, and perhaps it will cooperate with Longyou Army in a counterattack."
"It coincides with the cold winter, and the Northern Di Xirong coalition army cannot attack for a long time. It is very likely that they will choose to retreat. After resting and recuperating, they will send their troops east again in the coming spring."
Xie Fu thought about it and felt that it was very possible that it was so cold and unable to attack for a long time, which would be fatal to the entire army. Moreover, Beidi Xirong rushed all the way and did not spend much energy to consolidate the rear strongholds, which led to changes in the logistics line.
It takes a long time and the logistics are unsustainable.
Moreover, Shanzhou is still in the hands of the Longyou Army and is vulnerable to enemies from both the front and the back. If he were a marshal, he would choose to retreat temporarily at this juncture.
"Ms. Li, you continue."
"This time the two countries of Beidi and Xirong suddenly declared war. It's also true that Daguan Kingdom was poorly prepared, and it was also caught off guard. As long as we can take a breather, it will be fine."
Xie Fu asked: "What's so good about it?"
Li Huirong glanced at Xie Fu and said, "Isn't there still you?"
Xie Fu said sadly: "My Huainan army has been completely destroyed."
Li Huirong smiled slightly: "Then what are you doing in Jiancheng this time?"
"I...I won't hide it from you. I am remobilizing the army. I have all the food, wages and supplies. All I need is weapons and armor. I came to Sword City just for the armor."
Xie Fu said and asked: "Miss Li, won't you do your best?"
Li Huirong smiled: "I am not relieving Shuofang's army from being besieged."
"Am I saying you won't send troops?"
Li Huirong did not answer this question and returned to the topic: "Using armor-piercing arrows to drag down Beidi is one. The other is to ensure that I can get the Mingguang Armor at the auction. Does this explanation satisfy you?"
Speaking of Mingguang Armor, this is also the main purpose of Xie Fu's arrival tonight. He directly said: "I want these Mingguang Armors!"
Li Huirong smiled lightly: "I won this through real money bidding."
"Li Huirong, please make a price." Friends are friends and business is business. Xie Fu understands this very clearly.
"If I can give it to you, why should I use my sword?"
"Li Huirong, tell me your conditions!"
Li Huirong shook his head: "This is what my grandfather asked for, and I can't give it to you."
Xie Fu's face darkened: "Why do your Li family want these things?" Suddenly he said, "Your Li family wants to take advantage of the chaos to rebel!"
No matter whether there is or not, it will be easier for me to take action by accusing the Li family first.
In the past three years or so, Xie Fu has not been the king of Lingnan County for nothing. He has long been a good political player due to his wits and courage with the barbarians and Miao people.
Li Huirong looked at Xie Fu and smiled calmly: "You have learned to threaten others, but there are some things that threats cannot buy."
Xie Fu brought his face closer and looked into her eyes at close range: "As long as you have enough strength, there is nothing you can't buy."
Li Huirong laughed loudly, and the two rows of shell teeth were exposed in front of Fu Xie without hesitation, and his insides were clean and warm.
After closing his lips and teeth, a smile appeared on his face: "You won't do anything to me, and you even need my help."
How could the current external troubles add to the internal strife? Xie Fu really didn't want to fall out with Li Clan, just because of these five hundred pairs of bright light armors, Li Huirong saw the situation clearly.
It's not yet ready to rob openly. From Li Huirong's tone, it seems that there is still room for discussion. Xie Fu changed his face and said with a smile: "Then what can I buy? Please give me Miss Li's advice."
Li Huirong raised an eyebrow: "You change your face very quickly."
"Assessing the situation, Mr. Xie is not a reckless young man. How can he not be aware of current affairs."
