Xing Lie chose to avoid the topic. Xing Changyuan didn't get angry even though he was being annoyed. He just muttered quietly, "You're such a tight-lipped person!"
At the end, he asked an irrelevant question: "When will we start? Do you need me to transfer someone to you?"
This is a secret code between father and son, and they both know it.
Xing Lie shook his head: "No need, wait until my nephew is born."
"You, you! Ah!" Xing Changyuan sighed deeply, expressing all the helplessness and twists in his heart. His children, whom he valued more than his own eyes, have now ended up like this.
Now his good son-in-law has planned to seize Huangmo Pass and even assassinate Xing Lie. How can he be kept?
The father and son did not forget that the purpose of this trip was to see Lin Rui, who had escaped death from Yishu Pass.
Arriving at the Lin residence, Lin Changxi, Feng Zhenniang, and the elder Zhao Qinglin sisters had already greeted them respectfully. After paying their respects, they hurriedly explained to Xing Lie and his son, "Old General, Rui'er has almost exhausted his energy after escaping death this time, and is now bedridden. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."
Lin Changxi and Feng Zhenniang had never greeted high-ranking officials in their entire lives, and it was Zhao Qing who told them these polite words.
Xing Changyuan waved his hand. "Hey! It's so awkward to say that. If it weren't for Lord Lin, my son would have been in danger. It's not an exaggeration to say that Lord Lin is Xing Lie's savior."
Lin Changxi was terrified: "Old General, you are really embarrassing me!"
Zhao Qing saw that his father-in-law might not be able to handle such a pleasantry, so he quickly stepped forward to give instructions: "Old General, Young General, please follow me."
The atmosphere of the entire Lin family was relieved when Zhao Qing led the old and young generals and their personal soldiers to Lin Rui's door.
Whether it is Xing Lie and his son or the personal soldiers around them, they are all used to fighting on the battlefield. They all have the solemn and murderous aura of the battlefield, and their aura is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
When Xing Lie and Xing Changyuan stepped into Lin Rui's room, Lin Rui struggled to get up from the bed.
The only healthy old general, Xing Changyuan, immediately stopped him: "Lord Lin, don't worry about these empty formalities. We don't have so many complicated etiquettes in our military camp."
Lin Rui insisted: "How can that be possible? Etiquette cannot be abolished!"
He still insisted on standing up and performed a complete ceremony to the father and son before he began to stagger as if exhausted and was about to fall to the ground when Xing Changyuan grabbed him.
Lin Rui's arm was in great pain after being grabbed. The old general was always at a disadvantage in killing enemies in the battlefield, so his physical strength and arm strength were definitely incomparable to that of a rookie like him. The pain made Shashasha's face turn green, but he insisted on not crying out in pain.
Xing Lie was also watching worriedly: "Dad, quickly help Master Lin to the bed."
Xing Changyuan said: "Do I need you to tell me that?"
What made Lin Rui dumbfounded was that the old general picked him up and put him on the bed.
This is truly a new experience in my life, a princess hug!
Seeing Lin Rui's astonishment, Xing Changyuan laughed happily: "Don't mind, you and Xing Lie are of similar age, and in my heart, you are both my nephew and my junior. Xing Lie's foot was injured this time, I..."
"Dad!" Xing Lie shouted, successfully stopping Xing Changyuan from speaking.
Zhao Qing had already prepared tables, chairs, stools and teacups in Lin Rui's room. He even brewed two cups of tea and placed them on the table. Lin Rui invited the two to have tea.
Xing Lie wheeled his wheelchair to the head of Lin Rui's bed and shook his hand with the proper etiquette of a king and his subject. "Lord Lin, thanks to you for saving us this time, otherwise we would have had a hard time escaping Chu Wu's blockade, let alone reuniting with the Flying Tiger Battalion's personal guards."
Lin Rui shook his head, but looked at Xing Lie and asked about his future plans.
Xing Lie now regarded Lin Rui as his confidant. In addition, the door was tightly guarded by his personal soldiers, so he naturally revealed all his considerations.
Lin Rui was not surprised to hear that Xing Lie wanted to attack Fang Pingshan. He even looked at Xing Lie and encouraged him to continue: "And then?"
Xing Lie paused and looked at Xing Changyuan: "Dad, do you have anything else to add?"
Xing Changyuan tactically picked up the cup and replied in a muffled voice, "No."
Looking at Lin Rui's posture, the father and son somehow both recalled the time when they were young and were forced by their parents to study with him, and they felt a little traumatized.
Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "Major General, Fang Pingshan is certainly despicable, but now that he's at Huangmo Pass, it's easy to take him down. And then there's Yishu Pass, which has become a living hell. I'm sure the young general will tell you everything about it when he returns. Yishu Pass is now a hollow shell, vulnerable to any external force. Why don't we make a concerted effort to retake it!"
"We've also considered that Yishu Pass is located right between us and Xiding Pass. While it might seem like we're attacking Yishu Pass, the final result might be a combined resistance from Yishu Pass and Xiding Pass. A one-on-one fight might still yield, but a one-on-two fight would be a stretch."
A random punch can kill a master. There are more and more refugees in Xidingguan now, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. Even some rabble have to look at them with disdain because their huge system shakes the surrounding forces.
"Then let's fight together!" Lin Rui was furious. Thinking of the hell on earth in Yishu Pass, he was so angry that his liver ached. He also thought of what Yan Qingqing said when he met her in the palace of Marquis Xinyang. Except for the poor people, no one in Yishu Pass was innocent.
His hands were stained with the blood of the people, and what he ate was the flesh of the people. He really took eating meat and drinking blood to a practical level.
"Okay!" Xing Lie also responded happily. Yishuguan had done all the bad things this time, and he and Fang Pingshan would clean it up together.
"Hit him!" Xing Lie confirmed again.
Lin Rui also said: "Okay, I will definitely prepare food and gold and silver so that the general can fight without any worries!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Xing Changyuan sat aside and watched his son and his Lord Lin decide the life and death of Yishu Pass in a few words. He sighed that he was old after all and just wanted to quietly defend a corner, but he forgot that his son was in his prime and wanted to fight hard with those princes and foreign races who occupied the land of the dynasty.
He slammed the table and said, "Okay, from today on, I will hand over the 30,000 troops from the East and West camps to you!"
After finally making this decision, Xing Lie felt that he was bold yet happy. Isn't the purpose of life to live with dignity? If he was attacked and almost assassinated at Yishu Pass, and he asked Lord Lin, whom he relied on the most, to share the crisis with him and divert the pursuers, and then he was forgiven after he successfully escaped from danger, then how could he, Xing Lie, have the face to lead the Xing family army.
The evil men of Yishu Pass trampled on Huang Moguan's face. He was determined to kill Xinyang Hou and his two scheming sons with his own hands.
As for the man named Jingque, it is impossible for him to keep a substitute that looks so similar to himself to give someone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of him.
