In a minority like Tu 'an, when a woman took a fancy to another man, she would not be able to do anything about it.
She would cook a meal for him.
Yu Shu sized Li Xiao up with a blushing face.
However, Li Xiao didn't know about Tu An's customs at all.
"In that case, thank you, Madam.”
Li Xiao teased and began to pick up the chopsticks to move the delicacies on the table.
"En, the taste is not bad!"
"Looks like I'll have a good meal in the future!”
Li Xiao's mouth had always been very flowery, and Yu Shu's face had always been red from being teased by him.
"Lord Marquis likes to talk nonsense!"
An hour later, Li Xiao finally finished the banquet that Yu Shu had prepared for him.
In fact, it could only be considered very ordinary.
However, Li Xiao could not say that his future wife's cooking was terrible!
On the contrary, he ate up everything.
After eating, Li Xiao looked at Yu Shu and said,"
"I suddenly like you.”
Yu Shu's face was a little chubby, but it was as red as an apple.
She lowered her head under Li Xiao's gaze.
Li Xiao smiled and said,"
"I won't tease you anymore. After beating around the bush, just say what you want to say!
It's rare for you to be so attentive.
If it wasn't something too difficult, I would agree to it!!!”
Li Xiao wasn't a simple-minded person. On the contrary, he was extremely meticulous. From Yu Shu's actions tonight, it was obvious that something had happened.
As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you're either a traitor or a thief.
Li Xiao didn't think that he would be able to capture Yu Shu so quickly.
Li Xiao had never been a narcissistic person.
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Yu Shu's face revealed an embarrassed expression."
"Lord Marquis, Yu Shu heard that recently, Lord Marquis and Yi Xiaochuan have been in a very bad mood.
Yi Xiaochuan and Yu Shu were only friends, and Yu Shu only treated him as a friend.
She didn't have that intention with him at all.
Lord Marquis, please don't mind him. I hope Lord Marquis will not cause him any more trouble.”
"Yi Xiaochuan once saved Yu Shu's life when the Xiongnu attacked the bridal procession.
Therefore, he had saved Yu Shu's life.
Lord Marquis, can I?"
Hearing this, Li Xiao was about to curse in his heart, but he still revealed an extremely gentle smile on his face and said,"
"Of course, I won't argue with a child!”
"Many thanks, Lord Marquis!"
Yu Shu smiled happily and looked at Li Xiao with eyes full of love.
Perhaps Yu Shu did have a good impression of Yi Xiaochuan, but compared to Li Xiao's maturity, steadiness, and domineering handsomeness, Yi Xiaochuan was clearly insignificant.
Li Xiao had all the qualities that a successful or even handsome man should have. Furthermore, he was perfect. To women, this was like a fatal poison. He was attractive.
Yu Shu had clearly fallen into his trap.
However, Yi Xiaochuan had saved her life, and Yu Shu was kind-hearted, so she had asked for Li Xiao's help.
"Lord Marquis is truly extraordinarily handsome. Even the handsome man in the painting isn't as handsome as Lord Marquis!”
"Perhaps marrying into Great Qin is not a bad thing!”
Yu Shu was completely smitten.
However, at this moment, Li Xiao could not help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he had already sent someone to bring Yu Shu over to watch over her, completely isolating Yu Shu and Yi Xiaochuan, preventing them from coming into contact.
Otherwise, he would definitely be cuckolded.
If it wasn't for the fact that he could tell that Yu Shu had fallen in love with him, Li Xiao would have doubted his own ears. He could only say that Yu Shu was too kind.
Li Xiao agreed readily.
He might not be calculative with Yi Xiaochuan now, but that did not mean that he would not be calculative with Yi Xiaochuan in the future.
......
The next morning.
"Lord Marquis, the carriage is ready!"
"Let's go to the city tower!"
Li Xiao nodded, and then brought Tian Sha and a large number of network killers to the direction of the city gate tower of Yanmen Pass, ready to welcome the logistics team.
Although their logistics had been cut off by the Xiongnu cavalry.
However, because Wang Jian had led hundreds of thousands of troops into Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu army had retreated another hundred miles.
It could already ensure the logistics safety of the army.
After Li Xiao arrived at the city tower, Li You, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed to Li Xiao and said,"
"I, Li You, pay my respects to Lord Marquis!"
"So it's General Li You!"
Li Xiao nodded and asked directly,"
"When will the logistics arrive?"
At present, the logistics and food resources in Yanmen Pass were almost exhausted.
Wang Jian's reinforcement army had rushed over because they had to speed up the march, so the logistics were all placed on Woof's army behind them.
However, with Wang Jian and Great Qin's 200,000 soldiers here, the Xiongnu did not have a chance to steal Great Qin's food and resources.
Li You replied,"
"We have already sent Vice General Pang to lead an army to welcome Great General Meng Tian.
They would probably arrive in half an hour.
By the time this batch of rations arrived, Yanmen Pass would be able to hold on for at least a month!”
But when he said this, Li You's face revealed a worried expression."
"Lord Marquis, the scouts have observed that the Xiongnu army has increased to 250,000 to 60,000.
It was still increasing from the Northern Desert Plains.
Even many nomads controlled by the Xiongnu were transferred over.”
"If we continue to wait like this, the Xiongnu will only gather more and more soldiers.
I think we should attack as soon as possible.
They should catch the Xiongnu people off guard.
If we continue to wait like this, I'm afraid we'll be at a greater disadvantage!”
Li Xiao said calmly,"
"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. This time, I will definitely destroy the Xiongnu army.
But the time has not come yet!"
Just as Li Xiao and Li You were chatting on the city gate tower.
Tian Sha suddenly said,"
"Lord Marquis, the logistics team is here!"
As expected, Li Xiao and Li You both looked towards the Yanmen Pass-Great Qin's army had finally arrived.
"Immediately get someone to open the city gates to welcome them!”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Squeak!
The gate of Yanmen Pass was pulled open, and the logistics team slowly entered.
Carriage after carriage of rations and countless soldiers entered Yanmen Pass.
And this time, the logistics officer who transported these provisions was actually an old acquaintance of Li Xiao.
In Yanmen Pass, Fu Luo politely cupped his hands towards Li Xiao and said,"
"Greetings, Lord Marquis. After we parted in Kuaiji that day, we can finally see Lord Marquis again!
I'm really lucky!"
Seeing an old acquaintance, Li Xiao also revealed a smile on his face and said,"
"County Governor Fu Luo, haven't you always been staying in Kuaiji Prefecture?
Why did he come here to deliver food to Yanmen Pass?
You've really made me confused!”
"Hahahaha!"
Fu Luo smiled as he stroked his beard. Only then did he stop and say to Li Xiao,"
"These few years, this official's achievements in Kuaiji Prefecture are not bad!
His Majesty has already prepared to transfer me to the Imperial Court.
Therefore, as soon as they entered Xianyang City.
In the future, he will also be an official of the Imperial City, so please take care of him!”
Fu Luo had been Emperor Ying Zheng's personal attendant back then, and could be considered a trusted aide. Basically, he knew that being sent down to the lower levels was just for training.
In the future, he would definitely be one of the nine ministers.
Now that Fu Luo could come up, it must mean that one of the nine ministers in the Ming court was going to fall.
As for how he fell, it was definitely not a good thing!
None of the nine ministers would fall so easily while still in office.
Li Xiao smiled and said,"
"It seems that one of the positions of the nine ministers in the Imperial Court is about to change.
I didn't know that His Majesty had transferred you here.
Which position is vacant again?"
"Some time ago, Lord Commandant Yan was punished by His Majesty for his improper handling of matters.
It was said that Lord Yanwei had angered His Majesty!
I'm afraid I'll end up in this position!”
"Lieutenant Yan?"
Li Xiao smiled and cupped his hands."
"Then I'll congratulate Fu Luo in advance for his promotion!”
"But you should be in Xianyang City. Why did you come here to deliver grain to Yanmen Pass?
This didn't seem like something a captain should do!
Did you run to the wrong place?"
Fu Luo revealed a bitter smile,"
"This isn't because the Imperial City is short of manpower. Lord Li Si heard that this lowly official has a good relationship with Lord Marquis.
That's why I'm in charge of logistics.
This is all because of Lord Marquis!"
When Li Xiao heard Fu Luo's words, he could not help but feel a little emotional.
"This Li Si really knows how to behave!"
This time, Fu Luo had not only pocketed the benefits of transporting the logistics, but participating in such a big matter was also a proper political achievement for Fu Luo.
Although Fu Luo had a bitter smile on his face, he was probably overjoyed inside.
However, Li Xiao would not point it out.
After sending people to settle Fu Luo down.
Tian Sha came to Li Xiao's side and said,"
"Lord Marquis, the Earth Fiend has already come. He said that he has brought the things Lord Marquis wants.”
"Let's go and take a look!"
This time, Earth Fiend brought the people from the Network to infiltrate the logistics team to transport the logistics.
However, they were not transporting grain.
At a remote drill ground in Yanmen Pass.
Hundreds of covered carts were parked there.
There were also a large number of net assassins on guard outside the handcart.
Seeing Li Xiao come over, Earth Fiend's face revealed a touch of excitement. He went up to greet him respectfully,"
"Lord Marquis, you're here!"
"Lord Marquis, this subordinate has brought everything you want!”
