Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

In the middle of the night, the loud noise was like rumbling thunder, waking up people within miles.

The guards who were still waiting outside the gate were so shocked that they were in a state of panic. They no longer cared about anything else and rushed in with bloodshot eyes.

"Master Hou!"

"Revenge for the Marquis..."

When they saw the figure walking out of the ruins, they let out grief-stricken roars, as if someone had strangled their throats and they could no longer utter a sound.

In order to act more realistically, Xu Huaiyi deliberately made himself look dusty. Seeing that they were all standing there motionless, as if they were stupid, he angrily scolded them, "What are you all standing there for? You are like wooden stakes. Why don't you clean up the battlefield quickly and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net?"

After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses from their disbelief. They gathered around in surprise and asked, "My Lord, are you okay?"

"You were the one who caused the explosion just now, right?"

"Where are the robbers? Are they all buried?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and explained one by one, "I am fine. God bless me. I was the one who lit the explosives. I hid in time and was not hurt. The old man Li Sheng suffered the consequences. If nothing unexpected happens, his men should have been wiped out. To be safe, you should check carefully again. Don't let any of these traitors go!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Seeing that Xu Huaiyi was fine, everyone felt more confident and worked harder. They ignored the dirt and mess and started to pick up things from the ruins.

When Han Jun and Gu Zhuangzhuang hurried over, they saw this bustling scene, "Huaiyi, are you okay?"

Xu Huaiyi repeated what he had just said.

After hearing this, Han Jun felt mixed emotions, "You are so lucky..."

Li Sheng always found opportunities to turn defeat into victory. Even a situation that was clearly doomed to fail was turned around by him and he won so beautifully.

Without moving a single soldier, the enemy would be completely wiped out.

Just ask about this luck, who else has it?

Xu Huaiyi said a few polite words, then pulled his son over, squatted down, looked at him and asked, "Are you scared?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang nodded subconsciously. No matter how perfect the plan was, there would inevitably be failures. The explosion did not discriminate against anyone, so who could guarantee that there would be no harm?

Anyway, he was so scared that he shivered, and his hands and feet are still a little cold.

Xu Huaiyi raised his hand with amusement, placed it on his head and rubbed it, "It's okay, it's okay, Dad is fine, he doesn't even have a minor injury."

Gu Zhuangzhuang said "hmm", grabbed his arm and leaned on him dependently.

Seeing his son showing such a rare vulnerable look, Xu Huaiyi's heart softened. He picked him up, wrapped him in his cloak, and got on the horse. "Let's go home!"

The scene had been searched once, and there was no one alive. The bodies were smashed beyond recognition, so there was no need to investigate further.

On the way, Xu Huaiyi told Han Jun what he had gotten out of Li Sheng.

Han Jun was shocked to hear that the King of Chu had raised another 100,000 soldiers on the deserted island. "Where did he recruit these people from? Is he trying to trick you?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Believe it or not, that's what he said anyway. It doesn't look like he's lying to me. If you're worried, just find a way to check it out. We still have to pay attention to coastal defense. Otherwise, if the King of Chu really attacks us one day, it will be hilarious!"

Han Jun nodded solemnly, "I will enter the palace tomorrow."

However, Emperor Yongping could not wait even for one night and had already sent people to guard the city gate. When he saw them, he immediately summoned the two men into the palace for questioning.

Xu Huaiyi cursed in his heart, are they so anxious? They didn't even give him time to go home and change his clothes, are they trying to prevent him from changing his testimony?

It was an hour later when he came out of the palace.

Xu Huaiyi was exhausted both physically and mentally. He sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and was too lazy to speak.

Han Jun also came in, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xu Huaiyi just pretended not to see it.

Helplessly, Han Jun spoke hesitantly, "Huaiyi, don't think too much. Emperors have always been suspicious, and it's not just you who is being targeted..."

Xu Huaiyi pulled the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to say good things for him. We all know the truth. I don't care about it either way. You don't have to make up for it."

"Did Li Sheng really recruit you?"

"Yes, otherwise, I would have no chance to escape. He promised me all kinds of benefits and knew my situation very well, but I refused without hesitation. Even if I died, I would not join him and become a traitor. I have a family in the capital, how could I possibly go with him?

Humph, it’s ridiculous that the emperor would actually doubt such a simple truth!

Does it mean that I really have to be shaken before he will believe it?

Why doesn't he think about it? If I had that intention, would I kill Li Sheng and others? "

Han Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is indeed thinking too complicated..."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "To put it bluntly, he just doesn't believe me. No matter what I do, he will have wild thoughts. I don't know if he is tired or not."

Han Jun was torn between the two, but he still had to ask, "What about the coastal defense?"

Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "I won't get involved, so that he won't have to think too much. Anyway, he can't come to the capital for a while."

Han Jun, "..."

When he got home, the children had already gone to bed. Gu Huanxi was still waiting for him. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she didn't ask much and urged him to go into the car to take a shower first.

When he came out refreshed, she asked with concern, "Did you get humiliated in the palace?"

Xu Huaiyi lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and said gloomily, "I'm not angry, but I'm exhausted from fighting with Emperor Yongping. If it weren't for Xiaoyu, I really wanted to overturn the table. This life is really frustrating.

He wants to use me to fight for him, but he is also wary of me having too much power and not daring to give up my authority. He even wants me to be a helper for others. How dare he think of that..."

Gu Huanxi advised, "Then just find an excuse to refuse. The whole court is full of talented people, and you are not the only one who can lead troops to fight. Whoever wants military merit can take it. Let's just live our own lives behind closed doors."

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "I thought so too, but I'm afraid he's still worried. I've been honest with him. I said everything Li Sheng said without reservation, even those things that sowed discord, just to remind him not to be suspicious. I have no intention of rebelling..."

"He still doesn't believe it?"

"Well, it's very likely. I think he is even more afraid of me. This old man Li Sheng really screwed me over. If I had known this, I wouldn't have used this trick. I would have led my men directly to attack him without trying to get any information. I wouldn't have cared about the court!"

"How was this matter finally resolved?"

"Emperor Yongping said he would think about it. I guess he would probably secretly let Han Jun take charge to find out the situation first before deciding whether to attack or not.

The Great Yong navy is not very strong, and its combat effectiveness is not good. If they really fight, it is not realistic. I guess they will just passively wait for the King of Chu to attack."
