"What a big man,

You can't even lie. Why did Xiao Linshi ask you and Chen Zixiao to come out? Are you thinking about seeing me and you must go to Shuozhou with Chen Zixiao?" Xu Huai asked.

"What are you? Who has ever missed seeing you? What's your promise to stop the war? How do you fulfill it at this time?" Xiao Yuhan held the long table and asked furiously.

"Has Zhongjing Dading Prefecture also been lost? Where is Tokyo Liaoyang Prefecture?" Xu Huai asked.

Xiao Yanhan was so angry that she threw the teacup onto the long table and shut up and ignored Xu Huai.

Seeing Chen Zixiao sitting aside without saying a word, Xu Huai knew that the situation in the northern part of Khitan was not optimistic. He sighed lightly and said to Xiao Yanhan without hesitation:

"Chen Zixiao, Saluha once led the cavalry to ambush us in the west of Jincheng. I have not given any orders to detain you again. I am already polite enough. The princess still has the face to ask me about the cession and stopping the war? Or are you Khitans born with thick-skinned faces and unaware of it even if you peel off a layer? I said, Princess, if you have anything to discuss with me, and speak with kindness, of course I will treat you with courtesy, but if you want to play this kind of childish language and want to be the first to be the first, I think the princess is looking for the wrong partner. The princess is still looking for some family slaves in Yingzhou to scold them. Those family slaves will be more enjoyable to play with the princess. I don't have time to play with the princess."

"You told him that I'm going to be so angry!" Xiao Yanhan's tall chest was fluctuating violently, and she did not turn against her face. She was already extremely restraining her anger in her heart.

Chen Zixiao smiled bitterly and said to Xu Huai: "Wang Fan recommended Cao Shixiong instead of Zhu Han to take charge of the military and political power of the West Wing Lanzhou. Lord Lin Shi was extremely shocked at the time, but he thought that your arrangements were of another meaning. Last night, we realized that the Wang family was a cold and despicable person. Lord Lin Shi felt that it was not worth it for you, so he asked me and the princess to come to Shuozhou to meet you!"

"There are 4,000 elite soldiers in Shuozhou. You don't need to feel worthy or not for me. If it's just these words, it's not worth your trip to Shuozhou." Xu Huai said calmly.

"Although the Tianxiong Army and the Qingshun Army are willing to kill foreign households, we are happy to see, but what Cao Shixiong did in Shuozhou is definitely not the bitter plan we arranged. I believe you can see clearly, and there is no need for us to say too much," said Chen Zixiao. "And you should also think that Cao Shixiong was so heartless to the old master, and it is hard to imagine how loyal he would be to the Yueting..."

Seeing Chen Zixiao coming to Shuozhou, the main purpose was to remind them to be vigilant against Cao Shixiong. Xu Huai remained silent, but sighed lightly in his heart.

Xiao Linshi, Chen Zixiao and others could understand things, but Wang Bing and Zhu Han ignored this due to their own understanding and deep-rooted concepts.

Although Xu Huai could understand this, he was very unwilling and unhappy when he thought of the subsequent difficult situation.

"Don't think we're coming here this time to lie to you,"

Seeing Xu Huai sitting there quietly, Chen Zixiao's words seemed to have no effect on him at all, Xiao Yanhan couldn't help but said anxiously,

"Cao Shixiong is definitely not a loyal and righteous person. He has done many decisive actions in Shuozhou before, but he misjudged you to win and urgently handed over a letter of fame. What is the Tianxiong Army now? What is Liu Shizhong, Cai Yuanyou and others like Yueting? He has completely seen clearly. How could a person like him have any loyalty and righteous thoughts to Yueting? I'm afraid he has already considered finding a third benefactor at this time - if you believe that he will be loyal to Yueting, you may not know what's going on?"

"Princess," Chen Zixiao looked at Xu Huai, Xu Wuli and Liu Qiong'er and all reacted very casually, so he knew how he was going

The incident, told Xiao Yanhan, "They have seen clearly what Cao Shixiong is like, and we don't need to remind us on a special trip! It seems that the scene outside of Kelan City was not for acting for others to show. It is indeed because they were worried that Xu Huai's life experience would drag down the career of his father and son, so that they would completely cut off relations with the people of Tongbai Mountain - and Wang Fan recommended Cao Shixiong to take charge of the military and political affairs of the West Wing Lanzhou. Shuozhou should have been completely unaware of it in advance. Lord Lin Shi's speculation was correct."

"You have already seen through the reality of Shuozhou. If there is nothing else to say, I will not send it to you!" Xu Huai knew that his life experience would induce a series of unpredictable consequences, but he did not want to hear others remind him again and again. He was a little excited and wanted to arrange to send Chen Zixiao and Xiao Yanhan out of Shuozhou City.

Chen Zixiao and Xiao Yanhan did make a special trip to confirm the current situation of the Wang family and the Tongbai Mountain people, and to confirm whether the scene that happened in Changting, South of Kelan City the day before yesterday was a show for outsiders; in addition, Xiao Linshi had no other orders to them.

Xiao Yanhan was still full of energy. Seeing that Xu Huai hadn't said a few words to see him off when he met, he stood up and walked out, waiting in the corridor for the guards here to return the confiscated sword bows.

Seeing that Xiao Yanhan had a straight and smelly temper in front of Xu Huai, Chen Zixiao had no room for performance at all, so he could only walk out with his teeth.

Chen Zixiao hesitated for a long time. When the guard presented the knife bow, he turned to Xu Huai under the station corridor and said, "The monks in the West Mountain have been a little restless these days. Although there are orders issued by Datong, there may be shadows of Dangxiang people or Chihu people behind them. If it were the former, things would be fine. If the Chihu people had already thought of using the Fan tribe of Xishan to consume Yan Yue's power in the Huihe Valley, they would probably pay attention to Cao Shixiong's existence. There is actually not much time left for you!"

"What can I do when the time is running out?" Xu Huai stood in front of the porch with his chest in his arms and asked coldly, "Instead of inciting me to assassinate the Cao brothers, why don't you cheat the main force of the Tianxiong Army out of Lanzhou and ambush you? Do you do it? I am a sure thing, it doesn't matter whether I will be punished by the crime of collusion with the enemy!"

"...I'm wrong," Chen Zixiao smiled awkwardly and said, "From Yunshuo to the south, there are many mountains and mountains. Even if the Chihu people had the intention of invading the south in the past, they would not rush to go southeast of the Yunshuo Passage. This would make Yunshuo feel at ease for a while. But at this time, there was such a huge flaw like Cao Shixiong, and Yueting was not prepared for this person. Everything was really hard to say. I was also anxious about this matter, and then I thought about whether you could use the same trick again, but I had to harm you!"

Xu Huai smiled coldly and unintentionally accepted Chen Zixiao's explanation.

When he was assassinating in Huaiyuan, Guo Caoling took office alone and had no close relationship with the local area. Once Guo Caoling died, he could directly cut off a tentacle that the Cai clan extended into Tongbai Mountain.

Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili were not in this situation at all.

Instead of just two of them surrendering to the Yue Ting, they led thousands of soldiers of the Qingshun Army, tens of thousands of Han people in Shuozhou City, and a large group of generals and officials belonging to the Shuozhou Governor's Office in the south.

Perhaps it is not impossible to assassinate Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili brothers, but once Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili brothers die, not to mention the risks that have to be taken here, Lanzhou will also fall into chaos and may sweep the entire Hedong Road.

Such chaos may cause Xiao Linshi to seize more opportunities, but this is by no means the consequence Xu Huai is looking forward to seeing!
