Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth ward off evil spirits
Li Xu raised his head and looked at Uncle Li after a long while.
Under that clear gaze, Uncle Li couldn't help but lower his head. Ninth Brother's eyes were sharp and could see through people's hearts. Now they were a bit intimidating, which made him feel a little scared.
Li Xu said: "Now Yongping Mansion is full of soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Our people have already inquired all around Yongping Mansion. Now we can only ask the capital for news. Like my eldest brother, I am worried about my father and mother."
"I know, I'm too anxious," Uncle Li pursed his lips, "Ninth Brother is so busy, I shouldn't cause any more trouble to Ninth Brother. I'll go out and see what's going on outside first."
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he was about to exit.
"Brother," Li Xu said, "I didn't know my life experience before this, but no matter what, we are brothers."
"Yes," Uncle Li said, "I don't blame you for those things. We all know in our hearts that we will always be on your side."
Uncle Li quickly walked out of the military tent. Li Xu looked at the back of the figure who left in a hurry. His elder brother's attitude towards him was different from before. There was no longer any warmth between the brothers, and there was a sense of alienation.
"Young Master," Zhang Hu walked in and said, "Second Master Yu only brought some remnant soldiers. These people are weak and will be killed soon. You don't have to worry, Young Master."
After Zhang Hu finished speaking, he looked out of the account: "Uncle, I was very worried when I left just now. Did you believe what Mr. Yu said? You don't need to let people keep an eye on you."
The words of Mr. Yu rang in Li Xu's ears: "What she said is exactly the same as the result. No wonder you lost so miserably. Every step was expected in advance, because she knows you, but you may not know them at all."
."
Li Xu raised his eyes, as if Xu Qinghuan's figure was right in front of him.
Her rejection and suspicion, alienation and defensiveness were all clearly imprinted on his mind.
Can you guess it right?
Her so-called understanding of him was not self-righteous. If he had known about her life experience from the beginning, it might not have been like this. She had never trusted him, so how could she pry into his heart?
In her heart, everything Song Chengxuan made was the right decision. How many lives could Song Chengxuan have achieved today?
From ancient times to the present, all those who strive for power are the same. Those who succeed are princes and those who lose are thieves. Only those who win have the right to speak.
"Sir, you are injured."
Li Xu followed Zhang Hu's gaze and saw that the clothes on his shoulders were somewhat damaged. He must have been accidentally injured while fighting with Mr. Yu.
"Young Master, please don't be careless. Yu Er is here to assassinate you. The thing he uses may be able to temper the poison. It's better to let the doctor in the army take a look."
After Zhang Hu finished speaking, without waiting for Li Xu's response, he immediately ordered someone to ask for the doctor.
The wound was very shallow, just a trace of blood. The doctor looked relieved, but after looking at the sharp tool used by Mr. Yu, the doctor's expression became a little heavy. Some black powder could be scraped off the sharp tool.
"This..." Zhang Hu's heart sank, "That little guy from the Yu family really did something. Sir, what should we do? Is the young master in serious trouble?"
The doctor immediately stepped forward to clean Li Xu's wound. After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't look like a strong poison, otherwise there would have been abnormalities around the wound."
Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although it looks fine, I still need to use medicine several times just to be safe." The doctor then told his servants to cook some antidote.
From the beginning to the end, Li Xu's expression was very natural and never changed at all. Zhang Hu couldn't help but admire the young master's character. This is why his face remains unchanged even when Mount Tai collapses. Only in this way can he accomplish great things.
Li Xu put on his clothes and looked at Zhang Hu: "I have something for you to do."
Zhang Hu immediately bowed and said: "Young master, just give me your orders."
Li Xu said: "Song Chengxuan allowed Yu Er to come because he was confident and thought he could control everything. Whether we directly attack Fu Yuwei or choose to stay away to temporarily avoid disaster, he will have a way to deal with it."
Zhang Hu listened carefully.
Li Xu continued: "We have no choice in these two days."
Zhang Hu was surprised, is there a third way?
Li Xu looked at the map: "Such a confrontation will not bring any benefit to Nuergan. It will exhaust Nuergan. No matter who wins, Nuergan will have to spend a lot of time to recover. It is better to end the civil strife quickly and then lead the army."
Let’s fight the enemy with the whole slave army.”
Li Xu paused at this point, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Sometimes, for the final result, I have to cut off my own limbs. Until this step, I will not use such a method."
Zhang Hu said: "Master, we can't hesitate any longer. If we really let Song Chengxuan take the advantage, our soldiers will have to pay a greater price in the future."
Li Xu stood up and took two steps forward with his hands behind his back: "I want you to bring your troops and horses to attack Governor Ma. You don't have to win the battle, just force Governor Ma to use those firearms."
Zhang Hu didn't understand Li Xu's intention. He had seen the power of those cannons. If the cannons moved, there would be countless casualties.
Does the young master arrange this to attract Song Chengxuan?
Li Xu said: "The Tatar soldiers and horses gathered at the Onan River and other guard posts, but they have not tried their best to attack the city. Do you know why?"
Zhang Hu said without thinking, "I'm just waiting for the opportunity."
"When Song Chengxuan and I go to war, they will take advantage of the situation. When the cannon fires, the Tatars will definitely hear the news and break the city at all costs.
The frontier is in a hurry, and Song Chengxuan is really in trouble. When the time comes, I will lead my men and wait on the way to intercept and kill Song Chengxuan's troops. It depends on Song Chengxuan's choice whether to return to the guard base to fight against the Tatars or to fight to the death with me."
Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, he was the young master after all, he could think of a way to defeat the enemy so quickly.
"It's a pity," Li Xu sighed, "after the Tatars enter the city, they may hurt the people."
Zhang Hu immediately persuaded: "Which is the lesser of the two evils? We can only blame Song Chengxuan for not being willing to attack the Tatars with all his strength. He insists on embarrassing the young master. When the young master wins this battle, the entire slave army will be unified and then deal with the Tatars."
Tare will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"You take my eldest brother with you," Li Xu raised his eyes, "No matter what the outcome is, you must come back safe and sound."
In the flash of flint and lightning, a thought rushed into Zhang Hu's mind, and he immediately understood what Li Xu meant: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will handle it properly."
Zhang Hu retreated. Li Xu squinted his eyes and found the Onan River and the Luqu River on the map. Is Xu Qinghuan there? Song Chengxuan should be worried about how the Tatars would treat his wife.
…
Luquhe Health Center.
Xu Qinghuan opened her sleepy eyes. The sun was already shining through the window. It was a nice day. She was about to get up. Wherever she looked, a big face came into view.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but be a little stunned.
It was a portrait, and the person painted on it was Xu Qingan.
Feng Chu heard the movement in the house and immediately came in to serve Xu Qinghuan.
"Who hung this up?" Xu Qinghuan pointed to the portrait of Xu Qing'an.
"Your Majesty," Feng Chu said very aggrievedly, "Yesterday after Grandma went to bed, the Crown Prince came. I had to let the slaves hang this painting, otherwise the Crown Prince would not go to patrol the city. Naturally, the slaves refused, but later
...Prince Qi also came, and the servant was so beaten that he had no choice but to...
Moreover, the prince said that if this portrait is hung in Grandma’s room, Grandma will definitely sleep more peacefully.”
Just as Feng Chu finished speaking, Xu Qing'an's voice came from outside.
"Has your sister seen my portrait? Everyone has said... Whoever you see more during pregnancy will have a child who will look like him when he is born.
I guess my nephew must like me. As long as my sister takes her nephew to see me often, she will sleep more peacefully. Did my sister sleep peacefully last night?"
Xu Qinghuan responded: "Safe, but brother should hang the portrait at the door. That way I will feel more at ease."
Xu Qingan didn't know the reason, so he put his ear to the door: "Why?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Warning off evil spirits."
The big teeth my brother shows when he smiles are very good at warding off evil spirits.
