you got on my tail

Chapter 53 Lantern Festival Chapter 03

Xun Luo looked at him with a smile, although the corners of his eyes and brows were a little tired, but his smile was extremely sincere. Today's morning was earlier than usual, so the sun was brighter than usual.

Fu Jiying should have talked about Xu Yan with Xun Luo, and Xun Luo should not agree with it. Although Xiao Hei could no longer see it, it was an opportunity to get close to General Xun. Bai Xuehe knew that he always disliked him, so he hesitated. Open your mouth.

Suddenly, he felt that Xun Luo's smile looked a bit like today's bright sun, so he nodded quickly.

Xun Luo was no longer as depressed as before, and there were drivers and lieutenants waiting in front of the gate. He waved his hand to signal Li Shu and the others to go back to the mansion first, and led the horse and Bai Xuehe out of the gate of the imperial city.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the imperial city, Bai Xuehe turned his head and saw that Xun Luo's horse came with a lot of exotic products, presumably to be given to Xiao Hei, so he had to bite the bullet and look at him: "General Xun, Xiao Hei I found relatives recently, so I went back first."

His voice was low, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

"So he's gone back." Xun Luo looked down at the front, his eyes sank, Bai Xuehe froze for a moment, and hurriedly laughed: "He's in good health and strong, I have everything that General Xun sent before. Give it to him."

"It's okay." Unexpectedly, Xun Luo, who was a little disappointed, still smiled, "Then just pretend that I don't understand you, and I'll send you back."

Bai Xuehe was startled, then exhaled, and stretched out his hand to cover Xun Luo's snow-white tall horse.

After these few polite words, Xun Luo returned to his wooden state, and the imperial city had completely disappeared. He started to pick up the things on the saddle, and saw that the next sentence was "These things are for you, I'll go back first."

"General Xun, you should be fine." Bai Xuehe turned his head at this moment, and pressed his wrist with a smile, "I don't think the general is very cheerful, why don't we go to the restaurant and have a rest."

Xun Luo hesitated for a while, and wanted to refuse, but lowered his head and swept his waist for a moment, and nodded.

The two continued to move forward in silence, with the wine flag fluttering in front of them, Bai Xuehe took the lead and ran into the restaurant, ordered Xiao Er to lead the horse for Xun Luo, went to open a private room by himself, and ordered some dishes casually.

Xun Luo seldom came to the tavern to eat, and at this moment he could only look at the corner of the table dully, waiting for the dishes to be served in front of the two of them one by one, and Bai Xuehe poured the wine, and he didn't stop him, just drinking cups in silence.

What this restaurant sent was the authentic Xinghua Village, which was sweet and full of stamina after the entrance. Even so, Xun Luo's face remained unchanged, only the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

Everyone said that they talked too much after drinking, but Xun Luo was just silent, not to mention drunk, but he didn't even mean to be a little bit drunk. Bai Xuehe began to feel that the atmosphere was too dull, thinking about how to speak so as not to have a clear purpose, It was embarrassing, but for the first time he, who had always talked a lot of nonsense, restrained his voice.

"Master Bai has received all the things I sent." After a while, it was Xun Luo who spoke first. He looked at the cigarette stick on Bai Xuehe's waist, and said, "The tobacco paste I sent is a specialty outside the Great Wall. , Lieutenant General Li said that it is very spicy, if you can't borrow that thing for a while, you can use this to suppress it."

"En." Bai Xuehe nodded, and sincerely pointed to his heart, "Thank you, General."

"Do you want to find out about General Xu?" Xun Luo smiled wryly, with a little blush in his eyes, "Your Majesty also talked to me before, Mr. Bai might as well speak up."

Bai Xuehe didn't nod or shake his head, and continued to pour a glass of wine for him and pushed him over, "But I wasn't there at that time, and I didn't give advice for the emperor, so I don't know what the emperor said."

"The emperor just said that the banquet must be reversed. As for the reason, he didn't say a word to me." Xun Luo smiled, with a bit of distress in his eyes, "I also know what you want to say. All the troops and horses in the world belong to the emperor. As a general, you should not disobey the Holy Majesty."

Fu Jiying's hints have always been very obvious, even if it is called a negotiation, it is like an order. Xun Luo is not a fool, so he can understand it naturally.

"No." Bai Xuehe shook his head, and continued to be persuasive, "What does the general think of Xu Yan? I heard that it is dangerous outside the Great Wall. In order to compete with you, General Xu missed the opportunity of the battle several times. Xu Gao caused a mine accident and let Lan Ziqing die in the In the mine."

"General Xu is indeed a bit arrogant and doesn't want young people to come from behind, but Xu Gao also made a big mistake and disregarded human life." Xun Luo shook his head, his brows gradually frowned, "But General Xu has been fighting the enemy bravely these years, it is not heinous , if a failure is collaborating with the enemy, I always feel that this is not right for him."

The so-called collaborating with the enemy and rebelling against the enemy is just a crime of intentional crime. What Fu Jiying really cares about is Xu Yan's meritorious service, the disappearance of the iron artifacts in the mine disaster, and the last will that even he finds inexplicable, but Xun Luo obviously doesn't. know this.

But Xun Luo didn't refuse as decisively as before, he was just very embarrassed, and didn't intend to blame Fu Jiying at all, Bai Xuehe suddenly became suspicious, with his previous personality, he could just walk away.

"Then..." Bai Xuehe rolled his eyes, and suddenly changed the subject: "I was in the Southwest before, and I heard from Bai Fu that the general was arrested and returned to the capital, and then returned to the outside of the Great Wall. Could this be a misunderstanding?"

"It's not a misunderstanding. I came to the capital this time to take the opportunity to get close to the emperor." Xun Luo smiled wryly, poured himself a glass of wine, and confessed without reservation, "I am the former commander of Jinyiwei, Luo Cangxia. Son, the deposed prince fell, my father died for no reason, I have always come to the capital to seek justice for him."

Bai Xuehe was a little shocked, but still managed to keep smiling, and just continued to pour wine for Xun Luo.

"But the emperor also knows my father's swordsmanship, and said that my father was his teacher." Xun Luo drank heavily, his expression was a little dazed for a while, "Swordsmanship is extremely difficult to learn, especially the footwork, if it is not for my father It is impossible to learn it personally, but the emperor not only knows it, but he is also proficient, so it turns out that my father was not killed by the emperor at all, and even received his kindness..."

Xun Luo hesitated to speak, but Bai Xuehe already understood what he meant. Although he minded that Fu Jiying tried to force Xu Yan to rebel, but the love between father and son was such that he had to repay it.

"So don't worry, Mr. Bai." Xun Luo lowered his head, his words were bitter, "But I will think about it, I won't say no, the emperor probably won't do anything to you, and you don't need to think about how to collect evidence and beat him into a trick ..."

Even though he has been outside the Great Wall for a long time, he has heard many rumors, and he has long known what kind of person Bai Xuehe is.

"Being beaten into a trick? What if I have solid evidence?" Bai Xuehe suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with a smile, "Including the previous mine accident, including Lan Ziqing's death."

Xun Luo raised his head, not knowing what to answer for a while.
