As soon as Xu Heyun stepped into the posthouse in Jiang Prefecture, a posthouse deputy surnamed Hong greeted him respectfully.
After Xu He Yun ordered some food, he asked for three rooms in the courtyard.
After the trembling deputy left slowly, Xu Heyun moved two rattan chairs under the eaves and sat down with Yuan Jingming.
In Yan Bei's eyes, Xu Heyun had rushed into the capital on a whim. Many people who did not know the exact situation were confused as to why the son of the King of Yan would go to Luoyang.
Yuan Jingming asked curiously," The Li family of Daliang has been looking at Yan Beidao with a strange gaze all these years. In addition, the reputation of the Second Emperor is getting more and more famous in the court. I'm afraid they hate us even more. How does Second Young Master plan to deal with this?" Could it be that he really wanted to be the son-in-law of the emperor who was called the son-in-law but was actually a hostage?”
Xu Heyun smiled faintly." Li Sheng of Daliang has already put in a lot of effort into this marriage. This old man thinks that my brother will not have the courage to succeed the King of Yan Bei in the future, but he also thinks that I can. That's why he wants me to be the hostage in the capital instead of my brother. As for how to deal with it, we'll see!"”
Yuan Jingming looked at Xu Heyun's smile and knew that the Second Young Master had already made up his mind. He looked at Xu Heyun with a gratified expression as if he had seen his own brother grow up. Then, he said with emotion,"Second Young Master, if Daliang had sent other troops to stop us after we had broken through the Quanzhou defense line, wouldn't Yan Bei have to fight against the Li family?”
Xu Heyun shook his head and said," We won't fight. Li Sheng's original intention was to let the Quanzhou Cavalry test Yan Bei's bottom line and strength. If we are easy to talk to, then he will have the confidence to keep me in Luoyang."”
"If I'm not wrong, General Quan Zhou must have received the emperor's order to only have the ten thousand cavalry appear on time to stop him. Therefore, no matter what, we won't start a war in Quanzhou. After all, if we really start a war, our five thousand soldiers will probably be completely eaten up by the tens of thousands of elites in Quanzhou.”
Yuan Jingming smiled when he heard Xu Heyun deliberately emphasize the word " elite ".
"The armies of Yan Bei, not to mention Yan Prefecture and Youzhou Prefecture, even Jiang Prefecture, which has the least number of cavalry, is more generous than them.”
"Young Master, General, this lowly one has already prepared food.”The deputy walked up to the two of them and bowed respectfully.
Xu Heyun leaned forward and stood up from his chair. He walked out of the room with his adopted brother, Yuan Jingming.
Yuan Jingming, who had been to the capital, introduced Xu Heyun to a few good dishes he had tasted before.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xu Heyun walked out of the courtyard.
There were more than 100,000 old soldiers in Yan Bei. Some of them retired from the border army and retired on Yan Bei Road.
However, it was mostly because the King of Yan Bei was unwilling to take advantage of the situation and had left Yan Bei in a fit of anger. Now, the soldiers were scattered all over the country. Since there was nothing to do, Xu Heyun planned to pay them a visit.
"Second Young Master, why are you in such a hurry?" Yuan Jingming asked curiously.”
Xu Heyun rubbed a jade pendant of excellent quality and said slowly,"Since the emperor hasn't come looking for me, I'll go out and visit the old soldier of Yan Bei.”
Yuan Jingming was a little surprised. Like those old soldiers, he had followed Xu Xiao for many years.
He had been adopted by Xu Xiao when he was young, so he was naturally very clear about the old soldier. Perhaps he would be able to meet some of his former comrades this time.
"I have nothing to do anyway. I'll go with Second Young Master!”Yuan Jingming smiled.
Xu Heyun nodded and didn't say anything else. He walked straight out of the courtyard. On the way, he passed by the locust tree and looked at it, but he didn't stop.
Just as Xu Heyun stepped out of the courtyard, a man hurried into the courtyard. This man looked like a scholar and strode over without raising his head.
This kind of scholar who had gone crazy from reading.
Xu Heyun stood still and allowed the other party to bump into him.
However, Xu Heyun had the physique of a Great King Kong. Not to mention ordinary people, even those below Rank One might not be able to withstand one move from Xu Heyun.
With a loud cry, the scholar fell heavily to the ground.
Xu Heyun did not move at all. He stood on the steps and looked down at him.
The scholar also reacted and said angrily,"Who are you? Don't you have eyes when you walk?”
Xu Heyun did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said,"Interesting. You came to my place and asked me who I am. You bumped into me, and you still want to say that I don't have eyes.”
When the scholar heard this, his heart trembled.
Looking at the handsome man in front of him, who was wearing a long black coat, with a jade belt around his waist and a sword in his hand, he felt a wave of disgust. He wanted to stomp that smiling face to the ground.
Of course, this was just a thought. He reckoned that Xu Heyun would be lying on the ground and let him trample on him. This weak scholar probably wouldn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, the scholar straightened his expression and asked curiously,"You are the second son of the King of Yan, Xu Heyun, Young Master Xu?”
Facing such a rude person, Ye Ningshuang narrowed her eyes. She would not allow such a stranger to disrespect her master, let alone shout so unreasonably.
Her body moved slightly, and she immediately planned to teach this rude man a lesson.
"Ning Shuang."
When Ye Ningshuang saw Xu Heyun reach out to stop her, she stopped. However, her eyes turned even colder.
Xu Heyun didn't think much of it and continued to smile,""That's right, it's me! Why? Do you have a younger sister that you want to betroth to me? Or are you going to treat me to wine?"
"Haha."
The scholar sneered.
Sure enough, the officials of Luoyang were right. Xu Xiao's eldest son was a lecherous playboy, and so was his second son. Not only was he lecherous, playboy, but also extremely arrogant.
"Hehe, the son of the King of Yan really lives up to his reputation. He led his army and rampaged around.”
The scholar's face was gloomy, and his words were full of sarcasm.
Xu Heyun raised his eyes and said indifferently,"
"This Young Master has always been awe-inspiring and domineering. Is this the first time you've heard of me? Besides, you appeared here just to mock me? Then I'll have to disappoint you. I'm not good at anything else, but I'm extremely thick-skinned.”
The two of them conversed quite loudly, and the residents and civil and military officials standing on the streets all cast their gazes over.
Among these people, some admired this scholar's righteousness, while others were curious about who Xu Heyun was. They all raised their heads and looked over.
The scholar looked at the street.
What was his purpose? Wasn't it just to criticize this extremely arrogant son of Rentu? This was so that the news would spread like wildfire.
He wanted to be the first to criticize Xu Heyun.
