Chapter 355: I don’t want to cause more trouble to the family god
When the Xie family guards found out about these things and told their master Xie Yuchuan, Xie Yuchuan didn't look surprised at all.
Zhang Dayi stroked his beard and said slowly, "Don't offend either side."
Xie Yuchuan said "hmm".
This is Xiong Jiushan's style of doing things.
Han Qiguang went out to "inquire" about the news. After dinner, Xiong Jiushan had some free time, so he asked Xie Yuchuan to come over to discuss something.
As soon as the door closed, Xiong Jiushan didn't waste any time talking to him and asked directly, "How many people do you need to cooperate with the operation?"
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"Sit down." Xiong Jiushan said.
The two sat down. "Since we have already united, I will not argue with you. Let's resolve it as soon as possible and set off as soon as possible. Time is running out."
Xie Yuchuan understood that there was not much time left for Xiong Jiushan to maneuver on the road.
"I know you must have some people in your hands. Otherwise, you are a fugitive being escorted. With only a few people from your Xie family, even if you have supernatural powers, you would not have this idea. You..."
Xiong Jiushan was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze!
He was so used to this kind of talk that he didn't even notice it. He stared at Xie Yuchuan and thought to himself, the Xie Yuchuan in front of him really has the ability to "reach the sky"...
Fortunately, Xie Yuchuan saw his sudden embarrassment and didn't dwell on it. He skipped the topic and said frankly, "I do have a few people who can help me, but unfortunately, their strength is limited. I still need to rely on Mr. Xiong to work together and advance and retreat together before we can succeed."
Xiong Jiushan took over the topic smoothly and nodded when he heard it.
He believed what Xie Yuchuan said.
If there were enough people, there would be no need to attack him, or even to attack Feng Chen.
Xiong Jiushan took out the map and pointed to a valley. He said, "We can only stay in Yucheng temporarily. We can't stay longer. I asked Taoist Guanghan to calculate the day for travel. Tomorrow is not a good time to travel. You and I will prepare to change the day at midnight. It will be a good time to travel, but we can't leave the city at midnight unless we can get Feng Chen's warrant. But I don't think he looks like a reckless person today. Without the warrant from the government office, we can only leave the city at 3:00 a.m."
Xie Yuchuan pointed at the spot where Xiong Jiushan had placed the stones and asked, "Sir, do you still want to pass through here?"
"I've had people go out and inquire. There's been a lot of people coming and going here lately. It's safer to go with the flow."
Xie Yuchuan pointed to another road, "We still have a little time, sir, you might as well reconsider it. There are too many people and too many obstacles, making it difficult to control the situation. Don't forget, among the exiles, there are only a few young and strong ones, and there are still many old, weak and disabled ones. If these people can't protect you, even if they have made a contribution, they will probably also be held responsible." He casually pointed in another direction, "Going through here, although there are many dangerous places, it's not too passive. Unlike the other side, where one man can block the way for ten thousand. We only need a few dozen people to lead the way and a dozen to cover the rear. This place can not only protect the large group of people across the mountain, but also split the people and climb to the lair from the back. It's quick and easy, and we can catch them off guard."
"There's no one here to clear the way. With only a few dozen of us like you, it's hard to judge the extent of the danger."
After all, Xiong Jiushan still thinks stability is the most important thing.
But Xiong Jiushan felt suffocated when he heard Xie Yuchuan's fighting style.
There are two ways forward and backward, but the backward way looks faster. What if something goes wrong? You won’t even know where to run.
Xie Yuchuan stopped talking and looked at him strangely.
Xiong Jiushan glanced up, then looked down at himself and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"Did you agree to help me fight the bandits because you wanted to lose?"
Xiong Jiushan laughed angrily after hearing this, "Am I crazy? Do I want to lose?"
Xie Yuchuan folded his arms and stared at him without saying a word.
Looking at Xiong Jiushan's way of thinking, he always thinks of himself as "I don't want to lose".
Xie Yuchuan's silence.
Xiong Jiushan suddenly understood what his silent silence meant.
His face darkened for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation, he said frankly, "I've always been a cautious person, unlike a general who marches and fights."
"Yeah." Xie Yuchuan responded lightly.
He loosened his arms, picked up a few stones beside him, stared at the map for a while, and placed several locations one by one.
"Marching and fighting isn't just a reckless act. We must first ascertain the enemy's situation before we can act." He pointed to a spot. "Qinglong Village has an outsider in command. They're a bunch of bandits, so their methods will inevitably differ from their usual methods. Those differences are where things are most vulnerable. Since we've allied with you, sir, there are some things we shouldn't keep secret. If I were the head of Qinglong Village, I'd be upset if others were to restrict my actions. If everything were up to me, I'd definitely choose the methods I'm best at. Just like you said, the left route is where the Qinglong Village bandits are most likely to strike, so they'll definitely be ambushing here."
Xiong Jiushan glanced at him and said, "Who would give up a useful method and take the risk of using something else? If I were Wanlichun, I would have enough troops on this road and I would definitely hit the target with one strike."
Xie Yuchuan nodded and smiled, "Yes, if it's Wanlichun, this would be convenient."
"Why not? This place is easy to get to and we're very familiar with it. Everyone else has passed by here, so why should we go around it?"
Xie Yuchuan thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, but if we go this way, we can only fight head-on. Sir, with the weapons and armor that the escorts have now, is it feasible?"
Xiong Jiushan was speechless for a moment.
Xie Yuchuan seemed not to notice his expression and said calmly, "The bandits are entrenched and have always been difficult to suppress. Even fully armed is difficult to achieve. In addition to the rescue mission to defend against the enemy, we also have the responsibility of escorting them. In the chaos, anything can happen."
Xiong Jiushan knew that Xie Yuchuan was reminding him that it was hard to predict what some fugitives might think during the chaos.
"Isn't there a god?"
After thinking about it, Xiong Jiushan said.
Xie Yuchuan slowly raised his head and looked at him. After hesitating for a while, he said, "There are some things that we can do ourselves, so why bother the gods?"
Xiong Jiushan was speechless: "..."
Xie Yuchuan picked up a few more stones, selected a few with similar colors, and placed them in other positions.
"The family god said that he would come to watch over you when the time comes."
Xiong Jiushan said: "That's not very good."
It was because of the promise from the Xie family's gods that he dared to accompany Xie Yuchuan on the adventure.
After Xie Yuchuan arranged everything, he raised his eyes and said, "The family god means well, and your Excellency is willing to help. This is a sign of harmony among people. But whether it will succeed or not depends on God's will."
Xiong Jiushan was puzzled: "What do you mean, Young General?"
Xie Yuchuan lowered his eyes and said, "I, Xie Yuchuan, have never doubted the protection and care of the family god. However, the world has its own laws. If there are no accidents, then everyone will be happy. If my Xie family can complete this task under the protection of the family god, it means that the Xie family's luck has not yet run out. However..."
"But what?"
Xie Yuchuan straightened up, crossed his arms, stared at the map on the table, and looked up at Xiong Jiushan's puzzled eyes.
"If something unexpected happens, I'm not afraid that the family gods won't care. I'm just afraid that I, Xie Yuchuan, won't be able to communicate with the gods that day. If that happens, the arrow will be on the string, what should I do?"
"I don't want to cause more trouble for the household gods."
"No matter what, I, Xie Yuchuan, will win."
