A quarter of an hour later,
Mr. Jiu stood in the lobby of the government office, used Yuanqi to hand a small cloth bag to Xu Yuan, and said softly: "Third Young Master, there are five in total. If there is nothing else, Jiu will go down and guard the two first. The sect general is here.”
Xu Yuan took it, glanced down, and said with a smile:
"Okay, that's it, Mr. Jiujiu."
"It's just a matter of duty." Mr. Jiu cupped his hands expressionlessly, turned around and walked out of the lobby.
Xu Yuan sat next to Li Qingyan and watched Mr. Jiu leave. He chuckled and shook his head:
"Mr. Jiu is also a smart man."
"smart people?"
Li Qingyan raised his eyes from the military files and glanced at Xu Yuan: "What do you mean?"
Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan and said with a chuckle:
"Lou Ji arranged for him to stay in Houting County to protect me, and also ordered him to obey my orders."
Li Qingyan's eyes showed a hint of thought, and his lips and teeth smiled:
"Prince-in-law, do you mean that Lou Ji wants to give him a chance to become your confidant?"
Xu Yuan played with the bag in his hand, nodded, and began to lie:
"Probably, but Mr. Liquor doesn't seem to have any intention of taking sides between me and my eldest brother."
"."
Li Qingyan slowly placed the file in his hand on the desk, looked at Xu Yuan and said softly:
"There are two dragons, one phoenix and one mouse in the Prime Minister's Mansion. One dragon has passed away, and the phoenix is not a direct lineage. The only successor is Xu Changge. This Mr. Liquor doesn't know the depth of the consort's love. It is a normal choice not to stand with you."
Xu Yuan grinned:
"But the problem is, as his immediate boss, Lou Ji will stand by me."
Li Qingyan took a deep look at Xu Yuan and shook his head:
"Xu Gong's physical condition should be at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period."
"But your father's body probably won't last long."
"."
The air was suddenly silent.
Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan, as if he had seen through his plan, and snorted coldly:
"Husband-in-law, you are my future husband, and I am also your future wife. Other than that, there is no other reason."
Xu Yuan clicked his tongue and his tone became helpless:
"There is an old saying that a husband and wife will be indebted to each other for a hundred days. Although we did not have in-depth communication, we have shared the same bed for so many days, which is a great blessing."
Li Qingyan continued to look down at the military situation in the city:
"Husband-in-law, there is an old saying that people in the same bed have different dreams. I will not change my choice because of you."
"."
Xu Yuan stared at her fair profile and sighed softly.
Failed again.
He wanted to know Li Qingyan's true attitude.
If the old man's plan goes well, the barbarian war will subside, the northern sect will be destroyed, and the emperor's life span will be exhausted. By then, the prince's succession to the throne will enter the final stage. Any one of a series of events can lead to the destruction of the world. The situation has changed dramatically.
Among them, the attitude of the princess named Wu Yuan in front of her is very important.
After these days, Xu Yuan found that this woman's prestige in the military was so high that it was a bit scary.
Not only her own soldiers, the Yulin Army, but also the soldiers including the Beifeng Army had a high level of respect for her.
And after the Battle of the North is over, her status will definitely become higher.
At that time, her choice will greatly affect the outcome of the inheritance.
in silence,
Xu Yuan didn't say much more about this matter. He lowered his eyes to check the Xumi Ring in the cloth bag. As soon as his soul penetrated, his eyes flickered.
As soon as there was a faint expression here, the voice of Li Qingyan, who had a cold face just now, came over immediately, with a smile:
"Consort, how are you?"
Hey, woman.
Xu Yuan glanced at her sideways, without any ink marks, and said openly:
"The five Sumeru Rings are all the largest. The food and grass stored in them should be enough to feed 30,000 people for a month. In addition, there are some spare armors and weapons. Even if they still have some stocks, they should not have much. .”
Li Qingyan pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then suddenly said:
"By the way, Prince Consort, those two people should have noticed something."
Xu Yuan didn't hesitate and replied with a smile:
"Your Highness, you are referring to the fact that I sold Yunqi bombs to them?"
Li Qingyan nodded slightly and whispered:
"They may not be able to see one thing alone, but now that they have experienced the collapse of Beifeng North City, they will inevitably connect the two things."
Xu Yuan said indifferently:
"Compared to me, I think they are more likely to think Lou Ji did it."
Li Qingyan shook his head slightly:
"I was in charge of Beifeng at that time, and Lou Ji had no chance to enter those key positions on the northern city wall."
Saying,
Li Qingyan exhaled and said with a sigh: "If I had known your true character, my consort, I would not have let you in with confidence."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly dissatisfiedly and said:
"As a real person, why do I feel like the princess is scolding me?"
"No, I am praising you for your resourcefulness."
Li Qingyan rolled his eyes at her, then said seriously: "If they spread this matter, the series of things that happened in the north will be blamed on you, consort, and you may become a thorn in the eyes of many people. Well, just like your second brother back then."
"Does this include you, princess?" Xu Yuanxiao asked.
"It shouldn't be included." Li Qingyan replied with a smile: "If it is included, then I won't remind you, consort."
Xu Yuan came slightly closer:
"So. Princess, are you worried about me?"
"Of course." Li Qingyan blinked at Xu Yuan and smiled: "The days ahead are still long, and I don't want to be a widow~"
Beaker.
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched and he chuckled:
"Then I'm really grateful, but it doesn't really matter."
"It doesn't matter?"
"It's simple, dead people don't spread the news."
"."
In the next few days, Zong Qingsheng and Li Qingyan had no intention of going south.
While Houting County stood still and actively prepared for war, it continued to accept the defeat of the sect's troops fleeing from the south to the north.
Among them were large units like Luo Qingfeng and others, who had preserved tens of thousands of organic soldiers and evacuated in an orderly manner, and there were also groups of small and large, dozens or hundreds of scattered soldiers.
However, these have nothing to do with Xu Yuan. As a non-staff idler, his life in Houting County is very leisurely.
Apart from practicing, his daily activities include sleeping with Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan didn't need to sleep, but she did have nothing to do during this period, so she often lay in bed with him to exchange feelings, chatting until late at night, and then went to bed together.
Sleep in the noun sense.
Xu Yuan seriously suspected that this woman was kfc him, because this woman would take off her bra wrap every time and wear a silk nightgown to sleep.
She was confident enough to tease him, because after all, he couldn't beat her. In the end, Xu Yuan added one more activity to his daily routine, teasing Luo Qingfeng.
It's a way of remembering his lost youth and his soon-to-be-passed Paper Man wife.
Four days later,
The peaceful life disappears,
A Yunqi bomb was detonated a hundred miles south of Houting County, and 220,000 imperial elites and a total of 90,000 sect troops began to break camp and move southward.
