Xu Quan: "..."

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Chu Yao waited patiently for him to prepare the content. Xu Quan had to take a deep breath and speak out what was in his heart: "Quan thinks that the lord may not be able to bear it."

Chu Yao: "..."

Xu Quan said: "My lord seems to be a little protective of his shortcomings..."

In fact, the word "seems" can be deleted.

My lord is very protective of his shortcomings.

Chu Yao's smile at this moment was much more sincere than before, and there was even a ripple-like smile in his eyes. He said: "It is Yao's luck to be valued by the Lord. However, this matter is Yao's private matter after all. Lord, that

Bian Yao will go and talk it through..."

The Lord will not do anything to embarrass him.

Chu Yao is still confident about this.

"Is this all Wen Shi wants to ask?"

Xu Quan was suddenly called upon by Chu Yao, and became nervous and said slightly uncomfortably: "It should be...only these."

"Don't you want to ask about the national seal?"

Chu Yao hit a straight ball.

Xu Quan was almost stunned by the oncoming straight ball and said in a panic: "Well...it's not easy to ask."

In fact, he was already heartbroken.

But I couldn't find the right time to ask.

If I ask too many questions, I will be suspected of being sneaky again.

Chu Yao didn't have so many scruples. He was generous and admitted personally: "When I was in Chu State, I encountered an unpleasant past event, which resulted in Wen Xin being deposed and being transferred to Xin State. Today's

Wen Xin was indeed restored by relying on the Lord. In the hands of the Lord, there is an important national weapon that all the warlords in the world dream of - the national seal!"

Xu Quan's heart and liver trembled even more.

"This, this matter...are there many people who know about it, or only a few?"

Chu Yao looked at the national border barrier hidden in the mountains: "There are many people who know, but it is still a secret? Only a few close friends know about this matter, and now there is another one like you... As for Chief Yu and General Chu, these two

Don't worry……"

Xu Quan is not stupid either.

Naturally, we can hear the profound meaning of Chu Yao's words - not worried about Chief Yu and General Chu, but worried about him.

Xu Quan said: "I will never tell my cousin."

This is his guarantee.

He is stubborn, but when it comes to such sensitive matters as loyalty, he knows very well what can be said, what should be said, and what should be kept in his stomach. Mr. Chu was worried that he would make a mistake, so he specially beat him.

?

Chu Yao smiled.

"Isn't it?" Xu Quan was puzzled.

Chu Yao's eyes slightly curved, and he asked without answering: "How do you think General Chu judged that the master had the national seal in his hand?"

Xu Quan: "Because sir has regained his literary heart."

But does this have anything to do with the front?

It's a big deal.

Chu Yao said: "As long as someone knows my identity and knows that I have lost Wenxin, it is not difficult to find the national seal. Some people who are a little slower may misunderstand that the lord is loyal to Zheng Qiao, and it is also Zheng Qiao that I am loyal to. You can learn more about it,

Then you will know who the national seal is. Based on your cousin’s connections, I can guess that it will be a matter of time before you reach this level. It’s just a matter of time.”

Xu Quan: "...will it?"

He bet that his cousin didn't know anything about it.

if--

What would happen if my cousin knew about it?

Xu Quan was not sure, but he knew that his cousin always put the family's interests first. Chu Yao gave him the answer.

"If Wen Zhu guesses this, he will definitely hide it. Telling Wu Xian will do no harm and will also cause suspicion. You are right not to tell him. The less you know, the safer the situation. Let him slow down.

Take your time and guess..."

By not telling Xu Jie, you are protecting Xu Jie.

Xu Quan's heart turned a thousand times.

Finally, he nodded heavily with a determined expression.

With a faint smile in Chu Yao's eyes, he led Xu Quan down the city wall and all the way back to the tent. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the brazier outside the tent was lit. The orange flames were swaying in the wind and snow, and little bits of snow were falling.

Like a light and graceful butterfly.

Chu Yao raised his hand to flick the fine snow off his shoulders. As soon as Xu Quan stepped into the tent, his nerves tensed up and his fighting spirit surged: "Who is it?"

Chu Yao stopped him and said, "Don't be nervous."

The figures in the camp were all too familiar to him.

Question: "Come here to cause trouble?"

Who else could be so disliked by Chu Yao except his predecessor? Xu Quan also said angrily: "What's the matter, the detainer is not at ease yet, and he has to bother the general to keep a close eye on him? How can we be so virtuous?

With this kind of treatment..."

Chu Yao skipped many pleasantries and went straight to the topic.

Asked: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The general said: "Come here to ask you for some advice."

Chu Yao: "...ask for advice?"

Seeing his predecessor's serious face, Chu Yao became a little more concerned about what he asked for advice. The general took out a few sheepskins, with only simple lines on them, representing mountains, rivers and flowing water, as well as a dozen simple tents and cows.

sheep……

He guessed it as soon as he saw it.

"Juwu's?"

The general said: "Yes."

Chu Yao looked at the other party calmly, waiting for the next step.

The general asked in a low voice: "If you have these maps, can you find the corresponding tribe and lead people to annihilate them?"

Chu Yao looked at the newness and wear of the parchment, and put it aside: "The Shiwu tribe has the custom of living by the water, and their habits are completely different from the common people in the mainland. Every one of the drawings you gave has been printed.

At this age, how can the tribes marked on it still stay where they are? If I follow the map, I'm afraid I'll be in vain - but these tributaries of the river system have some uses."

But the drawing is rough.

The accuracy is hopeless.

Xu Quan on the other side started to feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Do you want Mr. Chu to help you lead troops to attack the Shiwu tribe?"

Is this guy dreaming? He has such beautiful thoughts?

The general did not speak, Chu Yao frowned and thought deeply.

He is not a young man like Xu Quan.

Based on his understanding of his predecessor, Fa Xiao, it would be difficult to evade this matter - because this is not a gang leader attacking the Shiwu Tribe, but to help his own leader's power!

As the general said before, military morale cannot be bought with two thousand stones and heavy food and salary, especially for these elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, it is even harder to return! If you want to impress them, you don’t need any fancy means! Only strength!

Don't show cowardice in this matter.

Chu Yao carefully rolled up several sheepskin maps.

Calmly ask: "How much do you want?"

At this time, Xu Quan had a question mark on his forehead.

What “how much do you want”???

What conversation did these two have that I didn't hear?

Then the general replied: "Not many, thirty thousand!"

Chu Yao nodded: "Only 30,000? That's really not much, but this matter is of great importance and I alone cannot make the decision. We will discuss it after the lord arrives in two days. What do you think?"

The general nodded, then stood up and left.

It came without warning and went away inexplicably.
