Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Although the assassinations one after another could not hurt Xu Huaiyi at all, it was still very annoying to always encounter such bad things.

Xu Huaiyi couldn't settle the score with Emperor Yongping directly, so he could only do as he wished and fight openly and secretly with the forces behind the other princes, with both sides winning and losing.

The situation in the court had strangely reached a state of balance and harmony. Emperor Yongping stayed out of the matter and acted as the dealer, watching everyone fight to the death. He remained invincible.

It is easy to guess what is going on, but Xu Huaiyi is in the game, so even if he knows, he cannot easily break free.

Time flies, and it's the end of the year again.

No matter how long Sun Yu delays on the road, he will eventually reach the capital.

Xu Huaiyi braved the wind and snow and rode ten miles to meet him. When the master and apprentice met, the first thing they said was, "Master, why are you so fat?"

Sun Yu was half lying in the comfortable carriage. Hearing this, he glared at him and scolded, "Try to keep it idle all day. It would be strange if it doesn't gain weight."

Xu Huaiyi immediately laughed and said, "It's good to have some flesh. I feel much better when I see you."

Seeing that he was smiling playfully but his eyes were full of guilt, Sun Yu couldn't help but pat his legs that had already healed and sighed, "It has nothing to do with you. I did that more for myself. Don't flatter me..."

Xu Huaiyi nodded perfunctorily, his words revealing self-blame and concern, "It hurt a lot at the time, didn't it? You too, how could you be so cruel to yourself? If you don't want to go back to Beijing, there are many ways to delay, but the self-torture trick is the most disadvantageous. If you use it improperly, have you thought about the consequences?"

Sun Yu said nonchalantly, "What consequences can there be? It's nothing more than a minor injury or a serious one. I know what's going on. Although the self-torture trick may be a bit painful, it works well. Okay, it's over. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Think about what to do next."

Xu Huaiyi leaned back in frustration, "There's nothing we can do. We'll just take it one day at a time."

Sun Yu frowned, "Why do you look so desperate? This is not like you. You back down at the slightest difficulty?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this is not just a little bit of difficulty. This is a huge difficulty that cannot be overcome. If it were someone else on the other side, I would dare to take a chance. But you also know who wants to deal with me. What else can I do? Do you really think I am a traitor?"

"Keep your voice down!" Sun Yu shouted at him in a low voice, "How dare you say anything out loud? You're risking your life!"

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "Isn't this on your company's territory? What's there to be shy about?"

"That won't work either!" Sun Yu glared at him angrily, "Walls have ears, watch your mouth!"

Xu Huaiyi said gloomily, "Yes, Master, I will learn from you..."

Sun Yu patted his shoulder soothingly and whispered, "With your ability, achievements, and reputation among the people, no matter how much the emperor fears you, he will not openly break up with you. It will be even more difficult to punish you. He can only do something behind your back or kill someone with someone else's knife..."

Xu Huaiyi mocked, "Disciple, I understand. He has already done this. The Xiao family and the Zhu family are both knives in his hands. He only needs to instigate and hint a few words, and those people will charge for him.

If it weren't for my lucky streak, I don't know how many times I would have died.

These disciples can still tolerate it, but they are afraid that he will go even further and attack my wife and children. They don’t have the ability to protect themselves. If something happens, the disciples don’t know what they will do.”

Sun Yu groaned, "He probably won't take that step..."

After all, he is an emperor and he still has some dignity. If he can't defeat the real boss, he will hurt his family. That's really uncultured.

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "Who knows where his bottom line is? Anyway, my attitude has always been very clear. If anyone dares to touch my family, no matter who they are, I will make sure they never return. Last time Li Sheng threatened me with Zhuangzhuang, I made him die without a trace. If you are not afraid of death, just come and try."

Hearing this, Sun Yu looked at him, but didn't try to persuade him. He just asked, "Is Li Sheng trying to recruit you for the King of Chu?"

Xu Huaiyi said "hmm", "The conditions are very generous. You can be crowned king, second only to the emperor, and above everyone else. You don't have to be feared or suspected by others, and you don't have to worry about being assassinated..."

"Why aren't you interested?"

"Who said I'm not tempted? With such good conditions, who wouldn't be tempted? But no matter how tempted I am, I don't want to be a traitor."

The main reason is that the King of Chu is not a worthy leader to rely on. This is the fundamental reason why Xu Huaiyi refused. He fought for the King of Chu to conquer the world, but in the end he was just making wedding dresses for others, and the ending was the same.

Sun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You are right. No matter what, we cannot be traitors. Huaiyi, as long as you can stick to this, no matter what you do, your master will support you."

Xu Huaiyi widened his eyes in surprise, "Really?"

Sun Yu nodded.

Xu Huaiyi hinted meaningfully, "Even if we attack that person?"

Sun Yu glanced at him calmly and said, "If you have the ability to get out of this unscathed, I promise not to interfere."

Xu Huaiyi asked uncertainly, "Will Master agree?"

Sun Yu smiled and said, "Dynasties come and go, but families remain forever."

Xu Huaiyi instantly understood that the loyalty of the aristocratic families to the royal family was limited, and when their own interests were threatened, changing the emperor was not a big deal.

"Disciple thanks the master!"

"No need to thank me. You and I are a master and disciple, and we can only advance and retreat together. If you are in trouble, how can I stay out of it?"

Next, the two of them discussed in a low voice, and when the carriage entered the city gate, Sun Yu was taken away by the messenger from the palace before he had time to go home.

Before long, news about Sun Yu's reward spread throughout the capital.

Sun Yu took over one of the three camps, commanding 100,000 troops, and became very famous for a while.

At night, the couple talked about this in the RV. Gu Huanxi was puzzled, "Does Emperor Yongping trust Master Sun so much? He is not afraid of handing over the power to dispatch troops. Is he letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and in the end it will benefit you?"

Xu Huaiyi thought, "Maybe it's a test. Emperor Yongping may have arranged some right-hand man behind the scenes. It's good that Master doesn't favor me. If he shows any disloyalty, he will deal with me as well."

Gu Huanxi suddenly realized.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "It may also be that he is too arrogant and blindly confident in the White Tiger Guards. He does not think that the secret guards around him will betray him, so he can use Master without worry. After all, Master's knife is very convenient for dealing with me."

Gu Huanxi nodded, "So what are you going to do?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "It's a double act. Perform one thing in front of him and another behind his back."

"Are you tired?"

"I'm tired but I can't help it. This is the best choice at the moment. Master means that we should just keep fooling around like this until Xiaoyu takes over. If we can avoid a falling out, then don't do it. If we hurt the enemy, we'll hurt ourselves."

"But Emperor Yongping is not a fool. If Master Sun fails to succeed, he will definitely suspect that you two are playing a trick on him."

"It's useless for him to doubt me. I'm lucky. Isn't it normal that Master can't succeed? Of course, I will still use the self-torture trick when it's time. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
