Chapter 1769 Sudden Self
Chapter 1769 Sudden Self
Xie Fu nodded lightly, but what he was thinking in his heart was to wait until he met Sister Qianqian and contact the Su family through Sister Qianqian's relationship. Right now, the important thing was to focus on the big things, and other grudges could be put aside for the time being.
Before I knew it, I had reached the south of the city. After asking around, I came to a mansion. On the top of the mansion was a plaque with the words "Luo Shi Family" in it.
The door was open, and two lanterns under the eaves were shining with flickering candlelight. Two people had been waiting at the door for a long time. They were Li Huirong's left and right arms, the ones who granted the imperial edict to Bai Yue and the pardon to Xue Yu.
Xue Yu greeted him with a smile: "Thank you, Master."
Calling him "Sir" is too polite, and calling him "Prince" seems too distant. I can only call him "Young Master Xie", as it recalls the friendship we had when we fought against the powerful enemy together on Yuchen Mountain.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "You two gentlemen are still as elegant as ever. Thank you for leading the way."
The two of them simultaneously set their eyes on Xiao Yuer. Those who can stay by Xie Fu's side are not insignificant people, they are either demons or saints.
Although there was no ill will in the two men's eyes, Xiao Yu'er was made extremely uncomfortable. You know, not everything requires Bai Yue and Xue Yu to look at it in the face.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to Lin Yucheng, a friend I met in Jiancheng."
The two of them bowed and said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry."
Xiao Yuer hadn't been respected like this for a long time. She felt that her identity as the young lady of the Lin family had returned to her.
The two led the way: "Thank you, Master."
Walking diagonally through the bamboo path and winding around the pine corridor, Xie Fu smiled and said, "Miss Li's residence is quiet and elegant."
Xue Yu continued, "This restaurant and inn is crowded with people, so I bought a house and put up a plaque, which can be regarded as a place to stay."
Bai Yue said: "If Mr. Xie had been to the Li Mansion, he would know what a quiet and elegant house is."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I will definitely visit you if I have the chance."
Soon they arrived at a hall. Outside, there were plum branches hanging on the railings, and plum blossoms were blooming with fragrance. The lights inside were bright, and Li Huirong had already prepared wine and food for them.
Xie Fu looked at Xiao Yu'er and said, "Xiao Yu'er, why don't you go take a bath first."
Xiao Yu'er was puzzled, 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. After all, she was dead, so she was not afraid that Xie Fu would buy her.
Xie Fu walked into the hall, and Li Huirong stood up, holding her sleeves and raising her hand: "Please."
Xie Fu said: "Why are you so polite?"
Li Huirong chuckled: "I should have said this, but you took over the show so quickly. I haven't seen you for several years, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with you."
As she spoke, she looked at the rugged man in front of her with her bright eyes, a slight smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, as if teasing: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have aged a lot."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "My appearance may fade, but my personality remains the same."
This is also a subtle expression to Li Huirong that no matter how his identity and position change, he is still the same Xie Fu from that year.
Li Huirong was very smart, so she naturally understood what was said. She smiled sweetly and poured wine for Xie Fu.
Xie Fu looked at Li Huirong. When he first met her, she was a young girl and a hero. Many years had passed, and she looked much more mature and steady, and she had also grown into a young lady.
"Ms. Li, you have changed."
Li Huirong smiled and said, "What has changed?"
"appearance."
Li Huirong touched her face with her white jade hand: "Getting older, huh?"
"To say you've grown old is so rude. It should be said that you've grown old. You should say ...
Li Huirong chuckled: "Master Xie, you are still so charming and dashing."
"Perhaps we can also say that he went from being full of vigor to being more reserved." Xie Fu said as he drank the wine in the glass with great enthusiasm: "Good wine."
Li Huirong also poured a little wine into her own glass and took a sip when she put it to her lips.
Xie Fu's mind flashed with her heroic appearance of drinking half a 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 he spoke, he filled her glass with wine, and then filled his own glass, raising his own glass, "Do you remember the scene when we drank together at Yuchen Mountain? You were so generous that you drank half a bottle of wine in one gulp."
Li Huirong chuckled, but Xie Fu drank first as a sign of respect, as if he was looking for the same step and resonance as they had back then.
Xie Fu finished his glass, but Li Huirong didn't move. The wine in the glass didn't go down at all. She certainly understood what Xie Fu meant. On that day in Yuchen Mountain, the two of them had talked about their friendship as classmates. Li Huirong said softly, "We always want to find someone who can share our pain and sorrow, but most of the time..."
Li Huirong choked on what she was saying and didn't continue. Xie Fu blurted out, "But most of the time, our earth-shattering pains are just dust that others casually brush past. Perhaps human loneliness is the result of one's own sorrows and joys."
Li Huirong was 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 she choked and coughed repeatedly. Xie Fu laughed: "Women are women, no matter how they pretend, they are still women."
Even though he was choked and the strong liquor was pouring through his intestines, the familiar heroic feeling lingered in his heart, and Li Huirong couldn't help but laugh: "Master Xie, it seems that you have been through a lot in these years."
Xie Fu smiled: "What about you?"
The word "what about you" made Li Huirong want to blurt out the distress in her heart, but she didn't know where to start. She simply poured herself a drink and Xie Fu Moran joined her in drinking.
Li Huirong drank several cups in one breath, and Xie Fu also drank several cups in a row. Both of them found the refreshing feeling of drinking from the wine jar on Yuchen Mountain.
They looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time. 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 one who stared at me for so long without blinking or looking away, and your eyes are so pure."
Xie Fu said: "You said so."
"Yeah, you still remember."
"Of course I don't remember. I still remember our time as classmates."
This time it was Li Huirong who took the initiative and said, "Can I tell you about myself?"
"Right, tell me about yourself. Last time you told me about a woman who went to see a doctor without telling her husband, but someone stole her money. I really couldn't relate to your story."
Li Huirong smiled sweetly: "Master Xie, I was very young at that time. When I walked in, I saw my mother hanging under the beam. She had committed suicide. I hugged her feet and cried loudly. They just looked at me 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, just in a different shell, and the result was the same grief and despair.
Li Huirong's tears and the sadness in her eyes seemed to be transmitted to him all at once, making him feel sad and uncomfortable as well. When you have experienced that kind of feeling, there will be traces in your heart.
Xie Fu hugged Li Huirong fiercely and said, "I am even more miserable than you. I have never seen my parents. If they are dead, I don't know where to worship them."
The sad voice touched his heart, and he couldn't help murmuring, "The woman I love is dead, but I can't even find her body. What's hateful is that she loved me so much, but I don't even have the courage to stand by her side. I often think of 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 these years? Does your wife love you as much as I do? Does she love you so much that she is willing to 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 quickly. You must be very sad. If you miss me, just look at the stars in the sky. I can see you."
Xie Fu was vague: "I told her loudly that I missed her very much and it hurt, but she seemed not to hear me..."
Li Huirong felt her clothes were a little damp and hot. She looked down and saw Xie Fu wailing silently with tears in his eyes.
Xie Fu immediately made her feel no sadness at all, and she said lightly: "You are worse off than me."
"I am worse off than you, much worse off than you."
Seeing him like a little girl with tears in his eyes, Li Huinong couldn't help but be moved by his sincerity. The corners of his mouth curled up, wanting to laugh but not daring to, wanting to be sad but not being able to.
I didn't know how to say the words of comfort, so I gently stroked his back with my palm.
It took Xie Fu a long time to recover from this emotion. He said "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you" while wiping the tears from his face with his sleeve. He couldn't control his emotions at all.
Seeing his expression, Li Huirong smiled and wanted to use something to wipe his tears, but she didn't carry a handkerchief like other young ladies, so she used her sleeve to wipe the tears from Xie Fu's face and said lightly, "So this is how men cry?"
Xie Fu took her hand away and used his sleeve as a face towel. He wiped it dry and rubbed his face: "You are talking nonsense. How could you not have seen a man cry?"
Li Huirong said calmly: "I have seen it, but I can't feel their sadness at all, it's the same as if I didn't see it."
Xie Fu drank a glass of wine, which was burning through his throat. After adjusting his state, he said, "I almost forgot the purpose of coming to see you tonight."
Li Huirong smiled and said, "It's been many years since we last met. It won't be too late to talk about business after we catch up on the past."
"Tell me, why did we hand over 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."
"Well, even if the armor-piercing arrows don't work against the Beidi, they are still a great weapon for us."
Li Huirong said calmly: "Beidi has obtained this batch of armor-piercing arrows and naturally wants to transport them back to the country. I have asked Lu Huimi to lead the Fanyang Army to the border and cut off the exit route."
Xie Fu asked, "Do you want to steal these armor-piercing arrows?"
Li Huirong shook his head: "How could Beidi easily let someone snatch away something so important? They will naturally send troops to escort it. With the threat of the Fanyang Army, Beidi will also send an equal number of troops. In this way, the pressure on the Shuofang Army at Tongguan will be greatly reduced. Perhaps they will cooperate with the Longyou Army to fight a counterattack at that time."
"It is winter now, and the coalition forces of the Northern Di and Western Rong have been unable to capture the city after a long siege. They are likely to retreat, rest, and march east again in the spring of next year."
Xie Fu thought about it and felt that it was very likely. Such severe cold and failure to capture the city for a long time would be fatal to the entire army. Moreover, the Northern Di and Western Rong had been attacking all the way without spending too much energy to consolidate the rear strongholds, which resulted in the logistics line becoming long and logistics becoming unsustainable.
Moreover, Shanzhou is still in the hands of the Longyou Army and is vulnerable to attack from both sides. If he were a marshal, he would choose to withdraw temporarily at this critical juncture.
"Ms. Li, please continue."
"The North Di and West Rong countries suddenly declared war this time, and Daguan was not well prepared and was caught off guard. We just need to give us a break, and that's all."
Xie Fu asked: "What's good about it?"
Li Huirong glanced at Xie Fu and said, "Don't we still have you?"
Xie Fu said sadly: "My Huainan Army has been completely annihilated."
Li Huirong smiled slightly: "Then what are you doing in Jiancheng this time?"
"I... I won't hide it from you. I'm re-mobilizing the army. All the food and supplies are ready. The only thing missing is weapons and armor. I came to Jiancheng just for the armor."
Xie Fu asked, "Miss Li, aren't you going to help?"
Li Huirong smiled: "I am not trying to relieve the siege of the Shuofang Army."
"I mean, you won't send troops?"
Li Huirong did not answer this question and returned to the main topic: "Using armor-piercing arrows to drag down the Northern Di, this is the first reason. The second is to ensure that we can get the Mingguang armor at the auction. Does this explanation satisfy you?"
Speaking of Ming Guang Armor, which was also the main purpose of Xie Fu's coming tonight, he said directly: "I want this batch of Ming Guang Armor!"
Li Huirong smiled faintly: "I bought this with real money."
"Li Huirong, name your price." Friends are friends and business is business, Xie Fu is very clear about this.
"If I can give it to you, why would I need to draw my sword?"
"Li Huirong, tell me your conditions!"
Li Huirong shook her head: "This is something my grandfather specifically requested. I can't give it to you."
Xie Fu's face darkened: "What do you want these things for, Li family?" Suddenly he said, "Your Li family wants to take advantage of the chaos to rebel!"
Regardless of whether there is any crime or not, it is easier for me to take action by accusing the Li family of the crime first.
Over the past three years, Xie Fu has not been the Prince of Lingnan for nothing. He has been an expert in politics, battling 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 cannot be bought by threats."
Xie Fu leaned closer and looked into her eyes face to face: "As long as you have enough strength, there is nothing you can't buy."
Li Huirong laughed loudly, and her two rows of pearly teeth were exposed in front of Xie Fu without any reservation, her inner skin was clean and gentle.
After closing their lips and teeth, a bright smile appeared on her face: "You won't do anything to me, and you even need my help."
How can we allow internal strife to arise in the face of external threats? Xie Fu really does not want to fall out with the Li family, just for the sake of these 500 sets of Ming Guang armor. Li Huirong sees the situation very clearly.
It's not the point of blatant robbery. From what Li Huirong said, there seems to be room for negotiation. Xie Fu changed his face and said with a smile: "Then what can I buy? Please advise, Miss Li."
Li Huirong raised an eyebrow: "You change your expression very quickly."
"Assessing the situation, Xie Fu is no longer a reckless young man, how could he not know the current situation?"
