When Xiaodong and Lengzi finished speaking, Zhang Qiang and Lengzi's uncle Lao Qiu were silent for a long time. When Xiaodong and Lengzi were almost driven crazy by the silence, they looked up almost at the same time, glanced at each other, and nodded slowly. , everything has been determined silently!
Returning to Xiao Han's room and opening the door, the first thing they saw was that Xiao Han was still sitting in front of the table, with a hint of ferocity on his always kind face! The corners of his mouth were twitching, as if he was making a difficult decision!
"Xiao Han? Xiao Han!" Zhang Qiang, who entered the room first, frowned and shouted twice tentatively.
"Ah!" Xiao Han was shocked and almost jumped up. When he looked again, Uncle Lengzi, Lao Qiu and Zhang Qiang were all standing in front of him!
"You all know?" Xiao Han said sternly. Looking at the determined expressions of these people, Xiao Han knew that they already knew the whole story. In fact, it was good to let Xiao Han speak out such selfish actions. He really I can't say it out loud.
"I know!" Zhang Qiang nodded and replied in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Haha..." Looking at a few people, Xiao Han suddenly smiled like a self-mockery, and then his face gradually became serious, lowered his head, and murmured: "I know, this is too unfair to you, don't worry, Why don't we make those unnecessary sacrifices! I want to see if he dares to harass Xue Pan!"
"No! Mr. Hou...!" Uncle Lengzi and Lao Qiu spoke out almost at the same time. Perhaps this was the first time in so many days that they had refuted Xiao Han!
"What?" Xiao Han looked up, his eyes full of confusion.
Uncle Lengzi and Lao Qiu looked at Xiao Han with solemn expressions. They both knelt down on one knee and saluted Xiao Han solemnly: "Master Hou! Don't say you are right about this! Even if it is You are wrong, you must not change what you have promised!”
"I don't want to change it. I just want to grab some reasons. Then we don't have to fight so brutally and can still achieve our goals. How good is that? As for the reasons, don't worry. For me, it's too simple. ..." Xiao Han tried hard to explain his intention clearly, but Uncle Lengzi and Lao Qiu were still kneeling on the ground, with no intention of getting up!
"Master Marquis, we have never doubted that you can cancel this fight, but this is what you personally promised! Even if there are all kinds of reasons, as long as you withdraw, this matter will go beyond what it is, and there will be no rumors. Otherwise, your reputation will be greatly damaged, it’s not worth it!”
"What kind of reputation? Do I care about that thing?" Xiao Han said with a blushing face!
Uncle Lunzi shook his head and said to Xiao Han: "The Marquis doesn't care, but we can't care! We know that the Marquis cares about us when it comes to eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, but we are people who have lived on the battlefield for half our lives, not mud. It’s just a piece of paper. Now we are afraid of this trivial matter. If we encounter a bigger crisis in the future, how will we deal with it?”
Having said this, Uncle Lengzi paused for a moment, then changed his tone to a slightly calmer tone and continued: "We are following in the footsteps of the Marquis. What we are waiting for is that you use our time, Marquis. Please let us fight for you." ! Don’t let your heart be soft for a moment and leave you with the reputation of being a coward and a broken promise!"
"No, I need to think about this..." Xiao Han spoke again, his tone no longer so firm. His heart seemed to be touched by something now, and he was full of silent touches!
The people in front of him are one of the closest people to him in this world. They are like family members to him, and while he is giving out his feelings, he is also receiving more rewards!
How many people in the future are willing to fight to the death for you?
Even those bodyguards who were hired back at a high price probably wouldn't fight to the death with real swords and guns for the sake of their employer's grudge-like bet!
You have gone from being a loser with nothing to getting to this point in a few months, to the point where someone is willing to die for you! It’s really worth it!
"Please allow us to fight for you!" Xiao Han was so moved that he heard another voice! And this time the sound came from outside!
Xiao Han trembled and opened the door. Outside the door, a group of veterans knelt down. The first ones were Lengzi and Xiaodong, and behind them, there were veterans who kept coming and knelt down on one knee!
Xiao Han's eyes were wet with tears!
Blinking hard, looking up at the sky, hoping to let the tears flow back! It was a pity that it was in vain, tears still flowed down my cheeks and into my neck!
He Xiao Han is so virtuous and capable! He can make so many loyal and brave people loyal to him sincerely!
"Get up, all get up! I promise!" After wiping away his tears, Xiao Han finally made up his mind and said to Lao Qiu and Uncle Lunzi who were prostrating on the ground: "Lao Qiu, Uncle Lunzi! I will take care of this matter. I’m begging you! Just watch the selection and wait seven days before killing those bastards!”
Lao Qiu and Uncle Lengzi nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hou! I will definitely live up to Mr. Hou's expectations!"
"Okay! Get up, this matter has been decided! All the brothers outside should disperse! When they need you, I will let them find you!"
"yes!"
There was the sound of crowds exiting outside. Xiao Han watched the last person go out of the door, then slowly turned around, pulling Lao Qiu and Uncle Lunzi to sit down at the table. As for Zhang Qiang, don't worry about him, he will find it himself. Sitting on the ground.
Spread out on the table is the paper written by Changsun Wuji. Next to the strong and powerful calligraphy, there are also a few small words written with charcoal. What Xiao Han said at the beginning about taking advantage of the loopholes is really not just talk. He has actually Let’s start working on this!
Xiao Han, who is accustomed to future generations writing all possibilities into the contract, leaving you with no loopholes to take advantage of, was a little uncomfortable when he first encountered such a simple agreement. The holes in it were wide enough for him to run away!
Xiao Han sat down and before he spoke, Zhang Qiang consciously picked up the paper and read Xiao Han's note softly. The more he read, the quieter his voice became, until it was no different than the sound of a mosquito.
"Master Hou..." After listening to Xiao Han's explanation read by Zhang Qiang, the people present suddenly looked like old ladies in their seventies or eighties, their faces all wrinkled together!
Uncle Lunzi slowly looked at Lao Qiu beside him, who also seemed to have swallowed a fly, and said with difficulty: "Master Hou, are you really planning to do this?"
"Why, no?" Xiao Han blushed a little when he was asked about it. To be honest, his initial idea was indeed a bit illogical, but in a strict sense, his fault was not inappropriate.
"This..." Uncle Lunzi hesitated twice, and then said: "Since Mr. Marquis has decided to go to war, we shouldn't think about these things anymore. It's best to destroy them all to avoid being seen by outsiders... …”
Xiao Han understood the underlying meaning of Uncle Lengzi, it was just that it was too embarrassing to do this! It simply won't work! Xiao Han was still a little unconvinced, but when he was about to refute, he heard Zhang Qiang say:
"Enemy! Xiao Han, I don't know what you are thinking. You are scared before we fight! We have the best armor, the best weapons, and the most loyal people. Why should we be afraid of a meter? Dealer? Are you afraid that he will eat us to death?"
"Is this battle really necessary?" Xiao Han asked again without giving up.
"We must fight! We must not retreat! If you retreat this time, you will never be able to hold your head up again!" Zhang Qiang replied with absolute certainty!
"Then do it!" Xiao Han slammed the table hard and roared!
The three people next to them all nodded fiercely, with fierce looks on their faces, but they didn't expect Xiao Han to whisper again from behind: "No big deal, if it doesn't work, just admit defeat..."
"..." The three of them were stunned. How unconfident this man is to them...
Not wanting to see such a hesitant lord again, Uncle Lengzi and the others left Xiao Han's place as if they were running away and began to prepare for the war in a few days!
At the moment of the war, most of the people in the fiefdom were from the military, and there was no trace of panic. Everyone was mobilized and silently making preparations in their respective positions!
Perhaps because he was too familiar with these old brothers, Lao Qiu raised a team of 50 people in just one night and took them outside to start training the next day. Zhang Qiang also eagerly ran to sign up, but his personal strength was not bad. After passing the test, the mutual cooperation was terrible. Later, Lao Qiu was directly kicked out of the team. Now he can only help and shout cheers from the sidelines.
Because at the earliest stage, Xiao Han had discussed with the people around him that the equipment he came out here would be given priority to his own family, so the selected veterans didn’t even have to wait for armor. They went home to put it on and gave it to them for a long time without much hesitation. Wearing heavy armor, he walked steadily to the wasteland to start training. He wanted to become more proficient in this slightly unfamiliar way of fighting. After all, no one has too many ways to save his life!
Just when Xiao Han's training was in full swing.
Chang'an, in the Daxing Palace, Li Yuan irritably threw the memorial in his hand on the desk. As soon as he leaned on the brocade couch, a pretty beauty came out from behind. She moved lightly and reached Li Yuan, who was leaning on the cushion. Beside her, she gently leaned down and rubbed her temples for him. The low-cut dress that Xiao Han had always dreamed of was wearing on her body. She bowed down and the beauty was revealed!
"Your Majesty, are you tired? I'll ask the imperial dining room to prepare dinner." The beauty in palace clothes with a flame pattern on her eyebrows said to Li Yuan in a low voice while carefully kneading Li Yuan's head.
"Hey..." Li Yuan sighed, not caring about the special spring scenery in front of him, but said a little tiredly: "No, I have a headache and can't eat anything!"
"Then you have to eat. Your Majesty, you might as well eat less..." The beauty persuaded her softly.
It can be seen from her words that she is indeed extraordinary in Li Yuan's mind. How can those ordinary women dare to go against Li Yuan's wishes? Even if it was really for Li Yuan's good, they didn't dare to say it. After all, being with a king is like being with a tiger is not just talk.
