Early in the morning, Xia Yu escorted Zhu Can to Xin'an for execution. Naturally, he was accompanied by two subordinate officials, Pei Xuan and Du Qiu.
The ones responsible for escorting were Li Daoxuan and a hundred Qingqi.
Xia Yu looked at the cheerful guy and was a little surprised: "My lord, this is an execution. Why are you so happy?"
Isn't this guy a war-fighter? How can he rush to do such trivial things?
Li Dao
Xia Yu suddenly realized it and said with a look of disdain: "You want to show off in front of others, right?"
Young people, you can understand.
"How could it be?" Li Daoxuan's eyes flickered, he looked around hurriedly and said, "By the way, military advisor, my second brother ordered Guo Shancai to be killed early in the morning."
"I was also asked to take the head with me. It was said that it would be displayed to the public in Xin'an first, and then orders would be sent to the surrounding area."
"Well, do you want to take a look? It's pickled with lime."
As he said this, the guy opened a big bag next to the horse. It was bulging and square, like a big box.
When Xia Yu heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she waved her hands quickly: "Don't look at it! Don't look at it! Just put it away."
"Listen, everyone, let's set off immediately to Xin'an City."
As if hiding from the god of plague, Xia Yu quickly drove Teng Shuangbai to stay away from this narrow-minded ghost.
Li Daoxuan snickered secretly. He knew that Xia Yu was timid and didn't dare to look at this bloody thing. Look, stop nagging, right?
On the side, Pei Xuan and Du Qiu looked at each other and almost laughed.
This county prince is really a headache.
"I've met two adults." The team set off, but Li Daoxuan suddenly came up to Pei Xuan and the other two, smiling and cupping his hands.
"Your Majesty." Pei Xuan and Du Qiu hurriedly greeted him.
Li Daoxuan whispered in a low voice: "I heard that yesterday the military advisor wrote a battle report overnight and submitted it to my second brother?"
"Yes, it's the two of us who are co-directors."
"Um, what kind of credit does Gu Gu give?" Li Daoxuan's eyes were bright and he seemed to be itching.
So they were waiting here! Pei Xuan and Du Qiu looked at each other.
However, knowing it is clear, the two of them don't dare to talk nonsense. You know, it is a taboo in official circles to reveal the boss's thoughts at will!
There is no reason for them to risk their future for Li Daoxuan, right?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We don't dare to talk nonsense without the permission of the military advisor." Pei Xuan and Du Qiu politely refused.
Li Daoxuan was a little disappointed and muttered: "How can I be awarded Tiaodang (special merit) if I capture Zhu Can and Guo Shancai alive alone?"
"However, I was a bit reckless at that time. If the military advisor holds a grudge, it will be a loss if he is given first-class merit."
Li Daoxuan thought with a grimace, this guy only wanted to gain merit and be promoted so that he could lead more soldiers and fight more battles.
Pei Xuan and Pei Xuan were shocked: Why is this county prince more obsessed with officials than them?
Li Daoxuan, who felt a little unhappy, looked up and saw Zhu Can standing in the prison car, his face covered in blood and dejected.
The day of death is approaching, and the man-eating demon king can no longer be arrogant.
"Damn it," Li Daoxuan was a little angry: "It's such a hot day and you want me to accompany you in the sun, you deserve a beating!"
He took out his riding crop and hit Zhu Unlucky Can's exposed head with a series of violent lashes.
Zhu Can was suddenly whipped to the point of crying like a wolf and had no idea where the pot came from.
Pei Xuan and Pei Xuan were so sweaty that they understood deeply what it meant: If you want to inflict a crime, there is no excuse for it!
Xia Yu, who was walking in front, heard the noise and turned around, speechless: "I'm talking about the county prince, why are you so crazy? You want to beat him to death, will it be easier for him?"
Li Dao
Zhu Can was about to cry but had no tears: This is really a down-and-out phoenix that is worse than a chicken!
It's approaching noon.
The team arrived at the foot of Xin'an City. The city gate was wide open, and there was a general leading the way to welcome them out of the city, followed by a group of officials.
"Is that Commander Xia in front of me?"
"I'm very polite to you, Yin Qiao, Yin Kaishan."
The man who came was about forty years old, mighty, strong, and handsome, but he was a general of the Tang Army, and Yin Kaishan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Daxingtai, Xiaodong Road.
This person is responsible for sitting in Xin'an, communicating with the rear, and transporting supplies for the Eastern Expedition army. He has a heavy responsibility.
"Xia Yu has met General Yin."
"I've heard about the general's name for a long time. It's a blessing to meet him today."
Xia Yu also greeted him politely. This Yin Kaishan was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He was no small figure.
In Journey to the West, this general became Tang Seng's grandfather, which shows his historical status.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I have heard that in the battle of Hulugu Valley, the military advisor killed Yang Gongqing and made him flee on horseback. It's true that a hero emerges from a young age."
The heroic Yin Kaishan's face was full of admiration. Even though he had been in the army for half his life, he had never fought such a beautiful battle.
This is really unacceptable!
Xia Yu was so happy that the news spread too quickly.
"By the way, yesterday I received the order from the King of Qin and started building the execution platform early in the morning. I hope it will be ready in the evening. Isn't it a delay?" Yin Kaishan asked again.
"No." Xia Yu glanced at Zhu Can with some regret: "Let this devil live one more day."
"By the way, please also ask General Yin to put up a notice and tell the people in the city that early tomorrow morning, I will behead the cannibal demon Zhu Can alive."
"No problem. I will arrange it right away."
"Uncle Yin." Seeing that Xia Yu and Yin Kaishan were chatting with each other, Li Daoxuan came forward with a smile and said hello.
"Hey, His Highness is here too."
Yin Kaishan punched Li Daoxuan's chest affectionately: "I heard that you captured Zhu Can and Guo Shancai?"
"Haha, my nephew is very lucky." Li Daoxuan smiled broadly and spoke modestly.
Xia Yu was a little surprised: These two people are so close?
Seeing Xia Yu's strange expression, Yin Kaishan smiled and explained: "The military advisor doesn't know that I have been working for His Majesty for a long time. It can be said that the county prince grew up under Xia Yu's eyes and just treats him as his own nephew."
Xia Yu suddenly realized, and then remembered that Yin Kaishan was an old minister of Yuan Cong who Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang.
With such qualifications, you can't do well even if you want to.
"Okay, Uncle Yin," Li Daoxuan wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and cried bitterly: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the city."
"Yes, yes, military advisor please." Yin Kaishan greeted quickly.
"I have arranged a place for the military advisor and the prince to stay in the city. I will take a short rest at noon, and then I will meet you in the evening."
"Thank you, General Lao Yin."
After lunch break.
It was still early before the dinner, so Xia Yu took a stroll in the house where she was staying.
This is a mansion on the waterfront. It is said that it used to be the residence of a pseudo-Zheng official. The environment is quiet, lined with trees, and very elegant.
Xia Yu strolled around, and Zhang Yu followed behind.
"Military advisor, this house is really nice." Zhang Yu looked envious: "In the future, if our family has something like this, it will be very beautiful."
"It's smaller. It's smaller."
Xia Yu curled her lips disdainfully: "In the future, our home will definitely be more elegant and comfortable than this one. It must be unique to the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhang Yu was a little dumbfounded and couldn't imagine what the only house in the Tang Dynasty looked like.
Xia Yu wrote the manuscript with great interest:
Swimming pool, complete.
Sauna, come on.
Jiangnan Gardens, Part 1.
The lake is decorated with boat boats.
Well, if we build a basketball court, it will be so-so.
As for whether these things match or not, Xia Yu didn't think about it. As long as it conforms to his aesthetics, other people's opinions are none of his business!
After a while, I walked to a waterside pavilion.
Xia Yu walked into the water pavilion and saw a large pond in front of her, with countless beautiful and colorful koi swimming leisurely.
Well, Ya, you should have this thing.
You can still go fishing at home if you have nothing to do.
While I was thinking wildly, on the other side of the pond, two maids walked past with a smile. They were about seventeen or eighteen years old and in their prime.
Xia Yudun couldn't take his eyes away.
I have to say that these two maids are not very beautiful, but if you stay in the military camp for a long time, you will see sows with double eyelids!
It wasn't until the two maids walked away that Xia Yu reluctantly looked away.
"Young and ugly girl!" This guy smacked his lips regretfully. Unknowingly, he had reached the season of young admiration and love.
"Huh, he turns out to be a lecher!" At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from behind Xia Yu.
Xia Yu frowned, thinking it was some servant who didn't know how to behave, and wanted to scold him, but when he turned around, he was stunned.
On the railing beside the waterside pavilion, a girl in red was sitting.
The girl is about fifteen or six years old. She is pretty, has sharp eyes, and has a very fit figure at a young age.
That one is quite amazing!
However, Xia Yu was not fooled by the beauty. Instead, she instantly became vigilant because Zhang Yu, who was following him, disappeared!
