Chapter 49 The Eve of the War

Lu Weizhi's face was dark and he took the lead in stepping out of the living room. The other generals talked softly to each other and walked out of the living room.

"Ye Hongyuan, Guo Hu, you can stay." Seeing the two people walking in the last, Li Xiaoyao called them.

Lin Xiao walked behind Li Xiaoyao silently and stood between Lin Wei, Lin Ru, and the two sisters.

Ye Hongyuan and Guo Hu, seeing such a lineup, a hint of confusion arose on their faces.

They walked back to the living room and stood respectfully in the center.

Li Xiaoyao turned around, his eyes turned cold, and he stared at Lin Ru and said, "You go out first, I will only say it once."

When Lin Ru saw Li Xiaoyao's cold expression for the first time, she trembled in her heart, as if she was suppressed by an inexplicable momentum.

She glanced at her sister on the left timidly, then lowered her head and ran out of the living room quickly.

Lin Wei frowned. What happened just now? Why is her sister so frightened?

She glanced at Li Xiaoyao in confusion, and then ran out of the living room.

Just when Guo Hu and Ye Hongyuan were still not sure about the situation, Li Xiaoyao said, "Ye Hongyuan, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that I and you would meet in such an environment."

"Thank you for your respect for the last general." Ye Hongyuan bowed his face with a solemn face, then looked up and continued, "Your Majesty's reputation has long been heard of."

"Hahaha..." Li Xiaoyao smiled, looked at Guo Hu, then looked at Ye Hongyuan and said, "What General Ye heard is probably something, right? Are you belittling me?"

“………”

Ye Hongyuan did not refute or nodded.

"I don't need to mention the past." Li Xiaoyao said with great aura, then his expression became cold and his eyes were cruel: "Ye Hongyuan, I want you to find a legitimate reason to kill Lu Weizhi before going to war with the Chu army."

"Do you have a way?"

Ye Hongyuan looked at Li Xiaoyao in confusion, "Your Majesty, what are you trying to do? Please make it clear."

"I want you to take someone else's head and shock the three armies. If there is someone who refuses to follow, the fate will be the same as him." Li Xiaoyao said lightly.

Is Your Majesty trying to get rid of Lu Weizhi with my hand? Ye Hongyuan thought so, but said:

"Your Majesty wants to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and tell the soldiers that those who dare not obey military orders will be killed no matter how high their official rank is?"

"No matter what you think or what you do, I only have one result to kill Lu Weizhi, but it cannot shake the morale of the army." Li Xiaoyao said.

"Please rest assured that there will be a thousand reasons to deal with such a pampered Beijing official who can kill him openly." Ye Hongyuan said confidently.

It seems that he was afraid of fraud by the officials and men in the capital before.

Now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, he will definitely not give up easily.

"Go and prepare! I, wait for your good news." Li Xiaoyao said.

"No! I will leave in the end." Ye Hongyuan bowed and then looked at Guo Hu, then walked out of the living room.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Ye Hongyuan walking away, Guo Hu stepped forward with difficulty.

"Yeah!" Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Guo Hu, according to your opinion, how about Ye Hongyuan?"

Guo Hu was silent for a moment and said, "Although my subordinates have not worked with him, judging from some of the news that came from inquiry and his words and deeds today."

"Ye Hongyuan should be a righteous general, and his temperament is similar to mine, haha..."

"You boy, I'm so ashamed." Lin Xiao walked over and glanced at him.

"Your Majesty, I think that Ye Hongyuan can be viewed from three aspects." Lin Xiao said seriously.

"Let me tell me." Li Xiaoyao sat in the main seat and supported his chin.

"First, he has been guarding Hengcheng for ten years. The powerful Zhao army has suffered many defeats under him. This shows his military talent."

"Secondly, some time ago, several princes seized the throne, but he never chose a sideline. This shows that he does not like party and government and is not good at socializing."

"The third is that just now, he could not speak a word, but for the sake of the survival of the Han Dynasty, he risked his life and wanted to express his concerns. This shows that he is loyal to the Han Dynasty and has a straightforward and unscheming nature."

"Hahaha..." Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Guo Hu, look at Lin Xiao, and then look at you. You have only muscles."

"Your Majesty..." Guo Hu was speechless.

"In the future, learn more from Lin Xiao and you must know how to use your brain more." Li Xiaoyao said with regret.

"I understand." Guo Hu looked at Lin Xiao and said in a slightly heavy tone: "In the future, I will definitely learn from General Lin."

"Guo Hu, Your Majesty is teasing you!" Lin Xiao stepped forward and said on his shoulder.

"Hey..." Guo Hu said with a little discouraged: "I just don't turn my mind fast enough, otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager be fooled by this general?"

"puff………"

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Xiao couldn't help but laughed at the same time. Guo Hu was not a elm-headed guy, and he knew he was blocking people with words.

"I won't make trouble with you, talk about the serious matter." Lin Xiao suddenly became serious and said, "Guo Hu, the two girls in red in the living room just now were sent by the Queen Mother to assassinate His Majesty, so I need you to send some crossbowmen for me."

"What?" Guo Hu frowned and said with a thick eyebrows: "The Queen Mother knows that Your Majesty is in detail?"

"This is not the case, but the Empress Dowager has become a murderous act of His Majesty, so we must prevent it earlier." Lin Xiao said.

Guo Hu grabbed his head and frowned and said, "Since they are here to kill His Majesty, I will take them down tomorrow."

"There is no hurry to do this. You can't touch them for the time being, at least after Lu Weizhi's death." Li Xiaoyao said coldly.

"Okay! Everything is subject to Your Majesty's arrangement." Guo Hu continued: "Lin Xiao, how many people do you want?"

Lin Xiao glanced at Li Xiaoyao, thought for a while, looked at Guo Hu and said, "Three hundred crossbowmen, hear it clearly. They are crossbowmen, I don't want archers."

"Okay, no problem. I'll send someone here when I go back later." Guo Hu said readily.

"Good boy, I know you are greedy for money, but Your Majesty doesn't believe it!" Lin Xiao said with awkward smile.

Guo Hu glared at him and said awkwardly: "Now I have the final say in Xuancheng. Can't I replace some new weapons with his subordinates?"

"Besides, aren't these crossbowmen just coming in handy at this time?"

"You boy, let me say something, you're so many words, and I'm right!" Lin Xiao argued.

"You guys, do you want to practice?" Guo Hu rolled up his sleeves.

"Okay, the battle is imminent, and you two still have the leisure to fight?" Li Xiaoyao said seriously.

The two of them became a little more at peace.

"Guo Hu, I hope you can obey Ye Hongyuan's order in this battle." Li Xiaoyao said meaningfully.

"Subordinate to obey the order." Guo Hu replied seriously.

"Yeah!" Li Xiaoyao nodded.

"You go back first!"

"No!" Guo Hu bowed respectfully, then looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes filled with a kind of request, as if he was saying to Lin Xiao: "Brother Xiao, protect Your Majesty."

Then, he turned around and walked straight out of the living room without looking back.
