Su Huaijin turned around, her eyes were icy cold, and the smile that had been hanging on her face was no longer there.

Hong Wencheng, who had just confessed his confession, suddenly felt a chill all over.

Su Huaijin said with strong disbelief: "Do you still expect me to fall twice for the same reason? I look so like a fool full of tenderness?"

"No!" Hong Wencheng quickly blocked the place between Su Huaijin and the door as if he was going all out, "I'm not telling you this to get anything, or even to ask you to forgive me, I just want to say it, which can be regarded as... It was a wish fulfilled.”

"..."

"Changfeng..."

"Why did Li Xiude send you here?" Su Huaijin suddenly turned around and sat back at the table, and changed the subject indifferently, "Cangyun Peak is located in the east, and further east is the ocean..."

He frowned and guessed: "Could it be that he wants to communicate with the East China Sea Islands?"

Hong Wencheng looked anxiously at this former friend who was firmly controlling the rhythm of the conversation. Over the years, he missed that leisurely young swordsman a little more for a while.

He has really changed... In the past, Xie Changfeng dressed casually, and his handsome face was always full of enthusiasm and childishness, but now he is wearing a plain Taoist robe that looks like a fairy, with three thousand black hairs tied around him. In the bamboo hat, the demeanor is calm, able to choke himself to the point of being speechless.

That's right, since I left at that time, I haven't seen him for nearly ten years. I'm afraid he experienced things that ordinary people would never imagine in a lifetime, and it's only normal that he has changed.

He knew that he could not take any initiative now, so he stopped bringing up the topic just now, but followed Su Huaijin's words and said: "That's right, this time the imperial court transferred back the [-] Northwest Army, and the first to bear the brunt is General Li's army. ... urgently need foreign aid."

Su Huaijin tapped the table with the knuckles of her index finger: "Is it going well?"

"...Yes," Hong Wencheng's expression became serious when he talked about the business, "King Wuyue has already agreed to send troops, and there are thirteen little kings who have agreed to help contain Zhang Yiliang's army, although they don't have much fighting power except for the navy. , but... talk is better than nothing."

He said with a wry smile. These may sound like nothing, but they are already the result of his best efforts.

Su Huaijin thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Do you have any plans to attack the capital?"

Hong Wencheng was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to ask such a direct question, but the former military master of Shenji was the best at weighing the pros and cons, so he hesitated for a moment and then quickly replied: "There must be a plan, but the time is not ripe yet. .”

Su Huaijin smiled: "Where is it immature? Wei Ting has long been unable to fight anymore. As long as the [-] Northwest Army enters the Central Plains, it will be in the pockets of the three of you sooner or later. Now, Chen Lin's army is the closest to the imperial capital. If you hesitate any longer, But the reputation of destroying the old dynasty will be handed over to others."

Hong Wencheng looked at him helplessly: "Don't bury me. No matter how weak the [-] Northwest Army is, it is not without the power to fight. Zhang Yiliang is eyeing the southeast, and Chen Lin is even stronger in the north. Our Li family is the farthest from the center. Under the containment of many parties, it is really impossible to move."

Speaking of these serious matters, they have an indescribable tacit understanding that they have cooperated with for many years. Although they are not too close, they have a natural tacit understanding than ordinary colleagues.

Su Huaijin had no intention of avoiding this, in short, he wanted to go to Li Xiude, and there was no harm in building a good relationship with Hong Wencheng, who was definitely not low in the Li family's camp.

One yard belongs to one yard, and he believes that Hong Wencheng can also distinguish clearly.

Today, the world is divided into three parts, Li Xiude and Chen Bing in the northwest, Zhang Yiliang in the southeast, but it is Chen Lin who has the most advantage in terrain - he has set up his camp in the north of the capital of Wei State, where he has proclaimed himself emperor and named his country Yan.

However, these three people restrain each other. Chen Lin, who seems to have the upper hand, is actually restrained by the other two anti-kings, and Li Xiude, who is farthest away, can flex his muscles. No one can tell clearly for a while. .

Hong Wencheng was naturally familiar with these things. He stared nervously at Su Huaijin, eager to hear the words from his mouth that would be like throwing a thunderbolt to the temporarily peaceful world.

——Cang Yunfeng's full support, no matter who gets it among the three forces, it may be enough to immediately rewrite the current situation, at least... the people's will will be greatly tilted.

Originally, when he was sent to the Cangran Land this time, Li Xiude really wanted him to take the opportunity to go up the mountain to test Xie Changfeng's tone - this kind of thing has been done by the three families before, but now that the situation is gradually becoming clear, they are more and more sitting on the edge. Can't stop.

It's just that Hong Wencheng was really not sure what Xie Changfeng's attitude towards him was, and he was afraid of self-defeating, so he asked the lord to send someone else.

Calculating the time, the envoy should arrive in two days.

Su Huaijin shook her head, reached out and took off the bamboo hat on her head.

"You..." Hong Wencheng was startled, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

The three thousand long hair that was originally all contained in the bamboo hat flowed down his shoulders with the opponent's movements, it was actually snow white, shaking his eyes stinging in the not too bright light of the room.

Hong Wencheng suddenly felt a strong sadness, as if something had completely left him somewhere.

"You're right," Su Huaijin said calmly, "This time I'm going west with the caravan, and I'm indeed looking for Li Xiude for cooperation."

"Your hair..." Hong Wencheng said in a trembling voice, putting what he wanted to say before the official business for the first time, "This, when did this happen?"

"Eight years ago," Su Huaijin said indifferently, "many people knew about this matter. As an important figure in Li Yingzhong, you seem to be a little too ill-informed about the news."

Hong Wencheng looked at him bitterly, not knowing how to reply.

He has known himself to be ashamed all these years, and he has a secret feeling in his heart. He has always tried to avoid any news related to Xie Changfeng. is ignorant.

But now seeing the other party's completely let go expression, it made him feel a dull pain in his heart.

——After all, it may be true that he likes Xie Changfeng, but what he loves the most is undoubtedly himself.

"Continue to discuss cooperation?"

"……it is good."

"Forget it," Su Huaijin sighed, "I'm worried that you're not in the right condition now. I'd better have a face-to-face meeting with General Li when I go back. I'll stay in your room during this period. Are you okay?"

"..."

"You can say whatever you want about my identity, but if you don't want to encounter Chen Lin and Zhang Yiliang's swearing to obstruct you, you'd better control the mouths of those under you."

"They are not my people," Hong Wencheng hurriedly defended out of some mentality, "Those bodyguards recruited locally are just used to cover up people's eyes. I bring all the best soldiers in the army, and they won't be so disorganized and undisciplined." .”

Su Huaijin got up with a half-smile, closed the window, and waved with his back: "That has nothing to do with me."

The caravan controlled by Hong Wencheng stayed in the town for another three days, waiting for some small businessmen to make various arrangements-this kind of thing is common, after all, people who dare to risk their lives for money are rare in any era. At least, large caravans are generally willing to accept the protection of some weaker colleagues, and use their power to accumulate virtue.It's just that when encountering dangers that cannot be dealt with, the first to be pushed out are generally these small businessmen with no background and no financial resources.

Su Huaijin is indifferent to these mundane affairs, and he always wears that ugly bamboo hat impatiently, so since hooking up with Hong Wencheng, he has started a life very similar to the old mansion on the mountain—only the place of the house is from his own bamboo house It's just changed to Hong Wencheng's room.

Hong Wencheng explained to the public that his identity was a distant cousin of his who hadn't seen him for a long time, but he just meditated in the room all day without showing his face, and Hong Wencheng even brought the breakfast and lunch to the room himself. After a long time, other people will inevitably have some ambiguous gossip.

Masculinity and so on were all the rage in Wei Dynasty.

Naturally, Su Huaijin, who doesn't get in touch with people, doesn't know about these things, and Hong Wencheng, who knows, is unwilling to take care of them because of some unspeakable secret thoughts, so the rumors intensified. Later, those rough escorts who targeted him at the beginning basically believed that Now, there must be some ulterior relationship between this little boy and their honorable Mr. Hong.

Su Huaijin heard the news for the first time in a rather embarrassing environment, and it was already a month after the caravan set off.

The caravan had a lot of luggage, and many people brought women and children with them, so the speed of the caravan was naturally slowed down. It only took more than 40 days from where they started to arrive at the destination near the Yu River, but it was slow. Up to this point, the journey has not been completed more than half.

Su Huaijin was not in a hurry at all, he sat in Hong Wencheng's exclusive carriage every day, meditated and practiced Qi, and listened to the crazy news about his apprentice along the way, his life was very nourishing.

That's right, Xie Yuan has become popular all over the country in the past month or so.

Unlike Su Huaijin who tried to keep a low profile, Xie Yuan walked all the way to the northwest at a place slightly ahead of their caravan, and he really wanted to hang a loudspeaker on his body to promote himself.

He still knew the seriousness and didn't reveal the identity of Xie Changfeng's disciple, but other than that, he didn't restrain himself.

In just over 30 days, he assassinated a total of twelve Wei Ting officials, large and small, destroyed three heavily defended liaison fortresses, ransacked the homes of eight rich and wealthy officials who were officials in the court, and opened warehouses. Food, and quickly organized an army kneaded by small rebels from all walks of life, with a number of over ten thousand.

The most terrible thing is that it is said that this army is highly disciplined and its combat effectiveness is not bad.

And when doing these things, he has always done it in broad daylight, and told as many witnesses as possible of his name.

Now the word "Xie Yuan" in the Central Plains area has gone crazy. Although in the eyes of experts like Xie Changfeng, these things the little apprentice did were just picking the right time, and the actual action is not too difficult. But in the eyes of ordinary people In their eyes, what this young young hero did was like a god coming down to earth.

Su Huaijin understood as soon as he heard it, the brat was trying to build momentum, and at the same time put pressure on himself who was "still on the mountain". I'm afraid that if he didn't react, when would he really dare to expose his identity without authorization and make the Cang Ran faction Drag onto Li Xiude's chariot.

He was sure that the master would not really ignore him, and he was testing the bottom line of the master with an arrogant face.

Little bastard, if you think so hard, is Li Xiude your real father?

Su Huaijin sighed, he really couldn't let this little ancestor go, and he was not willing.

The head of the sect was sitting opposite Hong Wencheng in the carriage, closing his eyes slightly and pretending to meditate, thinking happily about his apprentice, when suddenly he heard a loud noise on the ground outside the car window, followed by a sharp and crisp sound of armor rubbing against each other. Those vulnerable stragglers I have encountered since the days.

Hong Wencheng's expression changed, and he and Su Huaijin exchanged glances, both of them thought of the worst at the same time.

Could it be that Hong Wencheng and the others' identities of important figures in Li Xiude's army were exposed.

"Don't panic," Su Huaijin said in a deep voice, and raised her hand to stop Hong Wencheng from lifting the curtain to check the situation. "After all, many people know your face. Let the caravan manager negotiate with them first."

"I'm fine," Hong Wencheng smiled, looking really calm, "After all, the number one master in the world is sitting opposite me, so it's not like he's going to die, right?"

Su Huaijin ignored him, but closed her eyes slightly again, focusing on the movement outside.

A lazy familiar voice sounded: "Don't move, you are surrounded."

Su Huaijin suddenly opened his eyes.

Yuan'er... When did he start blocking roads and robbery?
