In the tense silence, Li Sheng couldn't help but speak first, "I heard that Lord Xu has a general who is famous for his good fortune. Not only is he invincible on the battlefield, but he can also remain unscathed, turn misfortune into good fortune, and resolve all crises."

Xu Huaiyi said, "It's just polite words, Lord Li, you won't take it seriously, right?"

Li Sheng looked at him and said in a complicated tone, "I don't want to take it seriously, but in fact, I have to take it seriously. Lord Xu, can you explain to me how you can win every battle and be successful in every battle? How can you escape unscathed from the swords and knives? Also, how did you avoid so many assassinations and poisonings that were impossible to prevent?"

These questions troubled him for a long time, and he really couldn't figure it out. No matter how capable a person is, he cannot guarantee victory in every battle without accidents when he goes to the battlefield. The so-called victorious general does not mean he has never lost a battle. Moreover, it is inevitable to get injured in a war. When a general charges in the front, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he will inevitably bleed after a battle. But Xu Huaiyi was safe and sound.

This is simply outrageous!

What's even more outrageous is that no matter who attacks him, whether it's assassination, fire or poisoning, he can avoid it safely. It's really weird.

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "Maybe I'm just lucky."

How could Li Sheng believe such perfunctory words? He sneered and mocked, "Then Lord Xu's luck is really too good."

Xu Huaiyi said shamelessly, "Yes, it is indeed very good, so I have to continue to do more good deeds in the future, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, then I will be blessed."

Li Sheng's expression changed slightly.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "Lord Li must have checked me out, right? Then he must know all the good deeds I have done over the years. Without being too modest, I have at least changed the fate of hundreds of thousands of people and spent millions of family assets. As the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded with good. I can turn adversity into good fortune, and I have the reputation of being a lucky general, which probably comes from this.

But Lord Li will not be rewarded. With so much blood on his hands, I am afraid he will end up with no remains left and no place to bury his body."

This last sentence is very damaging to the ancients who paid great attention to what happened after their death.

Li Sheng suddenly became furious, and with a bang, the armrest of the chair he was sitting on broke into pieces.

"Are you looking for death?"

"Don't think I really don't dare to kill you!"

"If you keep talking, I'll send you to hell!"

Xu Huaiyi pulled the corner of his mouth, not taking his threat seriously at all, "I'm just telling the truth, Lord Li, you can't listen to it?

Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution will come inevitably. Since you don’t want to suffer bad consequences, why do you have evil thoughts?

Isn't it enough to just be a good person?

You had to help the tyrant and killed so many innocent people. Hujia Village, Hutian Village, and those cities in the north where rebellions occurred all suffered devastating disasters because of your selfish desires.

You have committed many sins, so why should you be unwilling to accept the fate you have faced?

It’s all my own fault!”

As they talked, the atmosphere in the room became tense and explosive again.

Xu Huaiyi secretly became alert, guarding against his sudden attack.

However, Li Sheng once again held back and just said sarcastically, "It seems that Lord Xu has no awareness of being a prisoner. Is he really ignorant and fearless, or is he desperate and just looking for death?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled very carefreely, "I just want to live a happy life."

Hearing this, Li Sheng immediately said, "Live happily? You are indeed Lord Xu, so arrogant! In this world, who can really live happily? Even Emperor Yongping doesn't dare to do whatever he wants. Are you more powerful than the emperor?"

Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "Don't set me up. Just ask whatever you want to ask. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Li Sheng's eyes flickered. "Lord Xu is not even afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of offending Emperor Yongping?"

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "Am I not afraid of death? I have no choice. Besides, if I die, I still have my wife and children. Do I want to block their escape route as well?

Okay, stop talking nonsense. What is your purpose in arresting me? Just tell me directly!"

Li Sheng was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but said, "I caught you, but couldn't it be to kill you? There is a deep hatred between you and me..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted angrily, "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago. Why are you still holding back?

Also, let me clarify something. What deep hatred do we have between us? You are the one who is taking your anger out on me, right? It's not me who killed your whole family!"

Li Sheng said angrily, "Does it have nothing to do with you? Didn't my son Li Tan die because of you?"

"He deserved it. He killed so many villagers, but he was only sentenced to exile. Who would have thought he would escape? He sought his own death. Who can he blame?"

"What about my stand-in? You dare to say that you didn't kill him either?"

Xu Huaiyi said without any guilt, "No."

Li Sheng choked and stared in anger.

Xu Huaiyi urged impatiently, "Hurry up and ask about the business."

Li Sheng sneered, "Are you so anxious to reincarnate?"

Xu Huaiyi thought, I am afraid that my wife and children are waiting outside anxiously, but he said, "Yeah, hurry up, if you delay any longer, it will be dawn."

Li Sheng glanced outside before revealing his purpose, "Are you willing to leave the capital with me?"

Xu Huaiyi asked, "Where are we going?"

Li Sheng said, "Go to a place where you can be made a marquis, become a prime minister, and become the highest official in the country."

Xu Huaiyi said speechlessly, "I have already been made a marquis and a prime minister, the highest position in the country, right? Why should I follow you and become a traitor?"

Li Sheng heard this, but he was not angry. "What if I allow you to split the land and become a king, second only to the emperor and above all others?"

Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows, "You have the final say?"

Li Sheng said, "This is the sincerity of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. If you are worried, I can give you an imperial decree first. When the great cause is completed, you can get what you want."

"What great cause? Are you still thinking of regrouping and making a comeback?"

"Is it not possible?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled, "You only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Back then, you were beaten to pieces and fled in a panic. You hid on a deserted island overseas and managed to survive. It was hard for you to survive. How could you have the confidence and courage to think about returning to Dayong? Do you think the garrison on the seashore is just a decoration?"

Li Sheng said meaningfully, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten boat still has three thousand pounds of nails. Is His Royal Highness the King of Chu more powerful than you think?

As for the army, as long as there is money and people, it will not be difficult to train another one in a few years."

Xu Huaiyi looked curious, "Maintaining troops is not a difficult task, so what is your difficulty?"

"you!"

"What do you mean?"

"We have no shortage of money or soldiers, but we lack an invincible general. As long as you are willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, our great cause will be within reach."

Xu Huaiyi shook his head. "You guys are so bold. You think too highly of me. You don't think that if you give me 30,000 or 50,000 troops, I can lead them all the way back to the capital, right? I don't have that ability."

"Don't worry, you won't be short of troops, just focus on fighting."

"How many do you have?"

Li Sheng seemed to be certain that he would never be able to make any more waves, so he revealed his trump card, "One hundred thousand!"

Xu Huaiyi took a breath, "One hundred thousand? Where did you get so many people?"

Li Sheng did not explain in detail, "When you come back with me, everything will be clear."

"Do you think you can leave?"

"With Lord Xu as a hostage, who dares to stop me?"

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "It seems like you have already planned it all...

But have you ever thought that I would refuse?"

Li Sheng frowned, "I promise you to split the land and become a king, but you are unwilling?

Emperor Yongping is afraid of you and will take action against you sooner or later. By then, you will have no way out.

Also, you have no other choice now. If you don't follow me, you will die!"

Xu Huaiyi got what he wanted to know out of it, and he was too lazy to play along with him any more, "Then go ahead, I will never be a traitor."

"You, are you really not afraid of death?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, you have guts. I'll grant your wish..."

Li Sheng was enraged by him and drew his sword to stab him, but he missed.

Xu Huaiyi suddenly disappeared from the spot!

Li Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes. What kind of martial arts trick is this or a magic trick?

"Somebody come!"

The people guarding outside rushed in and were shocked when they saw this scene.

At this moment, Xu Huaiyi was in the RV, trying to coax his wife, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to delay time to make you anxious, I really have something to ask him, I was wrong, I will go out and deal with them all now..."

Gu Huanxi scolded him while helping to cut the ropes that bound him with a knife. "Quick and decisive, the longer you delay, the more suspicious Emperor Yongping will be that you talked about something you shouldn't have, and he will definitely test you afterwards. Aren't you tired or annoyed?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

"Then be careful!"

"Don't worry, I won't fight or kill anyone. I can just throw some explosives to solve the problem. It saves me a lot of trouble and effort..."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly disappeared and reappeared, which brought a shock to Li Sheng. Before he could think about it, he saw what Xu Huaiyi was holding in his hand, and his pupils contracted immediately, and he shouted, "Go!"

However, it's too late.

After a loud rumbling sound, the whole house collapsed.
