Chapter 172 Coincidence
Li Xunchuan closed his eyes and squinted for a while, but did not fall asleep.Li Junyi just gave him the newly modified thick cloak, and Li Yunchuan wrapped his body to get a little warm, staring directly at a corner of the big tent, and put his injured arm on the side of the bed.

The red rope sneaked out from the tightly wrapped arms, and Li Xunchuan touched the red rope, and saw that the red rope seemed to be stained by light, because it was soaked by the oozing blood.Li Xunchuan frowned slightly, stuffed the red rope in, and then heaved a long sigh.

Before dawn, Li Yuchuan got up and left the big tent.Xiong Zhenghao and Gu Zhaoxiyu huddled together, and the three of them knew that Li Xunchuan had other plans, so they didn't sleep at all.He is a person with sharp eyes and ears, and when he heard a little movement outside, he immediately got up.

Li Xunchuan got into the big tent.Xiong Zhenghao lowered his voice: "How come Lord Hou is here now, it's not the hour yet."

Li Xunchuan bent down and sat on the mat with his long legs crossed, and said, "I have something to tell you."

Gu Zhao lit another lamp, and the hall was a little brighter. He sat next to Xiong Zhenghao, and heard Li Yanchuan say: "Gu Zhao and Xiyu are going to Yongzhou with half of the imperial army, but remember, they must go to Yongzhou from Yuzhou. To go around, it’s best to walk through the gate of Yuzhou.”

Xi Yu nodded, and Gu Zhao looked at Li Yuchuan: "Master, otherwise I will take the imperial army to Yongzhou alone, and let Xi Yu and Xiong Zhenghao stay by your side. The Baishi Division is not easy to fight, so I am a little worried."

Li Xunchuan shook his head: "You and Xiyu are people around me. Xiaqiu can't rely on Zisha Hall to protect her in Yongzhou. You have to protect her for me. As for the Imperial Army, if Xiong Zhenghao wants to gain a foothold in Beili, he must I must come back from a victorious battle, and I can take him with me, which will save a lot of unnecessary talk and help the imperial army find their position as soon as possible."

Xiong Zhenghao was slightly frustrated. He lowered his eyes, and Li Yanchuan said: "I am naturally grateful that you followed me back to Beili. It is reasonable to do so. I can't let your trust be lost. Speaking of it, the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are Meat, I can't easily give up on anyone."

"But...but Master Hou," Xiong Zhenghao looked at Li Yuchuan, "The situation is critical, and you still have to take care of the imperial army. This is our fault. If Lord Hou is in trouble, I can take the imperial army to Yongzhou to protect Zhuo Siye. After the matter is completed, I can still follow Lord Hou."

"I thought about asking you to take the Imperial Army to Xiaqiu before," Li Yuchuan said, "but it won't work. The Imperial Army is now a wanted criminal because of me. I can't help but carry the Imperial Army and Beili on my shoulders. I want to do it." It’s not just about letting you give full play to your talents, more importantly, the Imperial Army needs to do something of its own.”

"Earlier in Gaodu, do you all remember the time when Wu Xiuting went to Lianyue School to pick a fight?" Li Yuchuan paused and said, "Wu Xiuting didn't come out of nowhere to hurt me on purpose. Who are the imperial guards? It's all a patchwork Strictly speaking, apart from miscellaneous soldiers, many of the troops that came out were Zhuo's army. Zhuo Ran is now in Nanxiang, and she is another emperor of Dayu. These people should have stayed with her, but these are not I have the final say. Xiaqiu and I are one and the same. I have to consider her and her safety. I want you all to come out in a dignified manner, instead of being timid like you are now. This is not my original intention. .”

"What if... what if we lose..."

Gu Zhao bumped him with an elbow and said in a low voice, "How could you say this first?"

"If you don't have the slightest desire to win, and you don't want to establish yourself in Beili, then you can leave now."

"Master Hou, I..." Xiong Zhenghao was eager to express something, but now he couldn't say a word. He looked at Li Yuchuan with an unspeakable emotion in his eyes. It's not easy, but there's no way to do it. It's not a good sign that Xiong Zhenghao's thinking will be smoothed out in a hurry.

Li Xunchuan said in a deep voice, "You can figure it out yourself."

There was silence in the tent for a while, the short wax was about to burn out, and the swaying flames reflected the silhouettes of several people, and the silhouettes cast in the big tent were full of lonely silhouettes after sorrow, which belonged to each person differently.

After a long time, Li Yanchuan said: "Xiyu, when you go to Yongzhou with Gu Zhao, remember to help Xiaqiu find out the details of Nie Hanshan. This person is not simple. He knows everything, and he is also clear about the past Gongchang. If he has anything to do with Li Chengru, don't worry about it, just kill him directly."

Xiyu nodded: "But master, Zhuo Siye wants to take Yongxin Tu Sanzhou back. This Nie Hanshan may be able to take advantage of it. There should be no rush to kill him."

"In order not to have long nights and dreams." Li Yuchuan sighed deeply when he said this, and he shook his head helplessly, "Zhuo Xiaqiu, I always like to take risks. If I don't think about the things behind her, who else can?" Really protect her."

Xiyu was choked up.Li Xunchuan raised his eyebrows: "By the way, when you see Songzi, remember to ask him to draw the map of Beili to Xiaqiu."

Gu Zhao frowned.Beili's map is not confidential to Beili's own people, but once it gets out, everything about Beili is equivalent to being exposed.But Li Xunchuan didn't care what Zhuo Ran knew, since Zhuo Ran wouldn't spread the word, naturally he wouldn't have any thoughts about Beili.

It's just that Li Yunchuan treated Zhuo Ran with all his heart and soul, and if he was deceived by someone, this situation is actually impossible.Everyone here is well aware of the relationship between Li Yunchuan and Zhuo Ran, and they were shocked by the degree of mutual trust between the two.But I also sweat for Li Yanchuan, if Shang Luoqiu finds out, Li Yanchuan will be beaten.

Shang Luoqiu's love for his disciples is obvious, but he is notoriously violent.After Li Xunchuan became the champion, he seldom took action publicly, but verbal reprimands were also inevitable. He said that beatings were kisses or love, but Li Xunchuan didn't pay much attention to this matter.Li Xunchuan didn't mention Zhuoran's matter with his family, if this was spread to Shang Luoqiu's ears, if the master knew Li Xunchuan's appearance like this, he wondered if he would be severely beaten in front of so many people.

Li Xunchuan didn't seem to be afraid.If Zhuo Ran saw what Li Yunchuan asked Wu Song to draw, he would naturally know what he meant.Zhuo Ran has been away from Li Yanchuan for too long, and must be missed very much.

A few people without wives looked at Li Yuchuan and couldn't help but overflow with envy.

Gu Zhao understood it most, and he gradually understood it over the years, so he nodded immediately: "Don't worry, master, we will definitely bring the words to you."

"When you go to Yongzhou, don't take it lightly," Li Yuchuan said, "Nie Hanshan or He Xi, they are not good people. No matter what happens, Xiaqiu's order will come first. Also, if there is no accident, treat brother-in-law As soon as my injury recovers, I will also rush to Yongzhou, but the time has not been set, so don't go back to Beili without sending a letter to you."

Gu Zhao and Xi Yu nodded.Li Xunchuan felt that the matter was about the same, so he raised his arms and stood up.Xiong Zhenghao stretched out his arm to support Li Xunchuan, and glanced at his arm.

Li Xunchuan let go of his hand and said, "No problem."

The horn sounded, and the imperial army gathered neatly. Li Xunchuan returned to the tent and held the evil spirit on his waist. At the same time, he looked at Gu Zhao and Xiyu, knowing that he saw them leave Beili at a high speed, and march forward from the camp in the direction of their return. , disappeared from his sight.

If Zhuo Ran can be brought back together...

Xiao Qijing got off the couch, and with Li Junyi's support, he looked at Li Yuchuan who was riding on the back of a bamboo stone.Li Xunchuan is more powerful than previous years. Not only is he taller and looks strong, but his temperament has also completely changed.If it is said that a few years ago, when holding the evil Li Xunchuan, he was a fierce tiger and an evil wolf. Not weak, but stronger.

Xiao Qijing had great confidence in him.

Li Xunchuan is the real king of Beili.

The imperial army was mixed with cavalry, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Everyone had Li Xunchuan and the knife in their eyes.They shouted loudly: Lord Hou is back!The battle must be won!
The mighty sound resounded over Beili, blasting a cloud of mist, and the morning light spreading from the sky shone on the armor, shining on everyone's faces, which was the new hope of Beili.

Xiong Zhenghao followed Li Xunchuan. At that moment, he no longer felt hesitant and helpless. Instead, he seemed to be influenced by Li Xunchuan. He just wanted to follow Li Xunchuan to see the group of ancient Qiang people who killed Yongxin Tu San The people in the state, the ones who killed his eldest brother.For a long time, he had already forgotten his elder brother's wish. He was just thinking about what he should do now so that he would not be squeezed out. In the helplessness and sadness over and over again, he had an epiphany.

Li Xunchuan said a lot of things and did a lot of things that he explained to him invisibly. This is not groundless, nor is it an arrangement of interests. Li Xunchuan only wants him to understand a truth, to stand firm can not rely on emotions, but rely on brains with hands and feet.

In any case, you need to do your own thing well, and you can't slack off for a moment, otherwise you will lose yourself and turn these helpless and more helpless things into regrets.Xiong Zhenghao yelled along with them, Li Yuchuan glanced back at him, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched.

Zuo Qiuhong and Tao Qianzhu had to go to Dayi Ze and Yuqiu, they were one step ahead of Li Yuchuan.Xiao Qijing and Shang Luoqiu remained in the camp, Shang Luoqiu stood in front of Li Yuchuan, raised his eyes and smiled and said: "Good boy, come back well no matter what!"

Li Xunchuan nodded, muffled in his helmet and said, "Wait for me."

Xiao Qijing raised his hand and waved it, Li Xunchuan raised his head, Zhushi shook his hair twice, and following Li Xunchuan's movements, he raised his hoof and quickly led the people out.The dust was flying, and the group of people who rushed out following Li Yuchuan were like arrows flying off the string. Xiao Qijing looked at Shang Luoqiu amidst the uncontrollable sound of horseshoes excitedly.

Seeing the master silently nodded to him.

***
The chaotic clouds are low in the evening, and the snow dances back to the wind.The carriage was driving fast, with the curtains constantly raised, and the cold wind was blowing in. The people in the carriage couldn't help coughing, and raised their hands to cover their lips lightly, but it didn't have much effect.

Wei Xun rode his horse, and couldn't help but feel even more worried when he heard the voice inside the car, but the man kept urging him not to stop. Once he slowed down, the people inside would become even more angry.

Since midnight last night, Wei Zhuang and Meng Weidao planned to assassinate Zhuo Ran. The banquet was not completed, and the urgent need to solve Yuzhou did not start. Thanks to Wei Xun's quick response, Zisha hall was broken and Zhuo Ran rushed out of Yuzhou .

Zhuo Ran was eager to return to Yongzhou, Yuzhou and Tuzhou were not very safe, she needed to go back faster.At least there are still Zhou Yu and Nie Hanshan in Yongzhou, she always has a chance to figure out something.Wei Xun wanted to slow down all the time, but Zhuo Ran didn't agree. The two of them drove all night like this, and the horse couldn't take it anymore.

Wei Xun sighed deeply, and Zhuo Ran coughed heavily. Afraid of something wrong with Zhuo Ran, he stopped beside the official road near Tuzhou.Zhuo Ran lifted the curtain from the inside and stared at Wei Xun: "Have you forgotten everything I told you?"

Wei Xun shook his head: "I haven't forgotten, but the girl is weak and cannot stand such a torment."

Zhuo Ran turned his head, said a few words in a hoarse voice, Wei Xun didn't hear clearly, and wanted to put down the curtain to keep Zhuo Ran from the wind, but Zhuo Ran grabbed his wrist.

"Someone!" Zhuo Ran whispered.

Wei Xun's eyes widened, and the next moment he felt a chill behind him, and a dagger had already touched his neck.Wei Xun stretched his arms back to grab the man's hand, but was dragged by the skirt of his clothes and fell off the carriage.Zhuo Ran drew out the dagger from her arms and stabbed towards the direction that grabbed Wei Xun, only to find that it was not a single person, but a group of people.

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, Wei Xun was pressed to the ground, and he hissed at Zhuo Ran, "Hurry up, girl!"

In this situation, she can't even fly out with wings.Zhuo Ran bit her lower lip, just now the cold wind gave her a headache, but now she was still dizzy, she barely held onto the carriage to stabilize her body, and took a cold look ahead.

"Get out of the way first."

Suddenly there was a sound.

Zhuo Ran immediately put the dagger horizontally in front of her body, and the person walking towards her was full of smiles, but her appearance was extremely rough and ugly.Zhuo Ran felt that there was really no comparison between him and Nie Hanshan.If Zhuo Ran's guess is correct, this person is He Xi.

Before hearing the name, He Xi He Xi seemed to be an ordinary gentleman, but now it didn't look like she imagined at all. Zhuo Ran knew it would be like this, so he didn't listen to Wei Xun leaving quickly.

Zhuo Ran didn't have any thought of resisting at the moment, she threw the dagger on the ground and looked up at him: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you, don't waste your words."

"Princess Nanxiang is really different," He Xi couldn't help laughing, "What's this called? It's a person who knows the current affairs as a hero."

Zhuo Ran smiled coldly: "Tell me, what do you want to let me go?"

"Princess Nanxiang, everyone wants gold ingots now, do you think I can easily let you go?" He Xi looked at Zhuo Ran and said with a smile, "Looking at Princess Nanxiang is very uncomfortable. I'll go back to Tuzhou, it's going to be bad if there is something wrong with Princess Nanxiang in this freezing weather."

Zhuo Ran ignored him.

He Xi said: "Princess Nanxiang wants to go to Yuzhou so much, but that man repays his kindness by assassinating Princess Nanxiang like this. Such a person is not worthy of the princess's troubles for him. Why don't you make a deal with me."

Zhuo Ran said softly: "Deal? Don't you want to take Yuzhou? Since I am helping Yuzhou deal with you, how dare you trust me like this? Besides, even Yuzhou wants to kill me. Now you What do you mean again?"

"The beauty is trembling here, this is not a good place to ask questions." He Xi looked to his side, "I have been waiting for Princess Nanxiang for a long time, so go back to my house and talk about it in detail."

Zhuo Ran stood up straight: "I don't have that idea."

"The princess really wants to do this?" He Xi looked at Wei Xun on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "This person seems to be very important to the princess. If the princess doesn't mind, I can take him with me. But the princess is mainly If I insist on this, I can only kill him first, and then tie the princess back."

"Aren't you afraid that Nie Hanshan will come from Yongzhou to trouble you if he finds out?" Zhuo Ran said anxiously, "He must know about my going to Yuzhou."

He Xi shook his head: "No, he dare not come to Tuzhou. Tuzhou is my territory, he can't get involved."

Zhuo Ran glanced at Wei Xun, thought for a while and said, "Let's go, but if you dare to touch a hair on him, I'll make sure you die without a place to bury you."

He Xi made a gesture of invitation: "Princess Nanxiang really understands."

Zhuo Ran originally wanted to deal with him again, but she was really dizzy and couldn't last long. She didn't want to spend more time with He Xi. She wanted to find a comfortable place to think about these things. He Xi's The house is also safe and comfortable, and there is actually no harm in going there.

Wei Xun was bound hands and feet, Zhuo Ran glanced at him sideways, and shook his head slightly.Wei Xun frowned and looked at Zhuo Ran, and said silently: "Girl, we..."

"Don't be afraid." Zhuo Ran glanced at He Xi, "Just wait until Tuzhou..."

He Xi specially used their carriage to carry the two of them, and the journey was not too slow.Zhuo Ran leaned next to Wei Xun, listening to the movement next to him, and found that no one was listening to the voices inside, Zhuo Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still have to work hard on you." Zhuo Ran saw that his arms were tied into a ball and he couldn't move, she said, "When I get to Tuzhou, I will let him let you go."

"I'm fine." Wei Xun frowned and said softly, "But girl, it's too risky for you to do this. How could we escape from He Xi with just the two of us? You want all your brothers to stay in Yuzhou, How can this be?"

Zhuo Ran lowered her voice: "Be safe and don't be impatient. I didn't put us in danger. Did you forget that you told me that your elder brother has come to Tuzhou? Could it be that you lied to me?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes," Wei Xun's eyes showed surprise, "I forgot when I was in a hurry, as long as the eldest brother is with us, we are safe. But girl, what exactly are you going to say to He Xi?"

Zhuo Ran thought for a while, and said: "Actually, there is nothing to deal with. I just use him to find out some things. I have many questions about the Battle of Luxi and the three states of Yongxintu, and Nie Hanshan can't explain clearly." Doesn't mean he can't."

Wei Xun nodded, and said, "I'll take the time to send a message to my eldest brother. The girl needs to say something as soon as possible. I will definitely protect the girl."

Zhuo Ran looked at him and smiled.
