"Xiuqi is still the one who sees things clearly. It seems that the Mang thief really has ulterior motives. If you hadn't reminded us, we would have almost thrown the important matter aside and only focused on the matter of Beian Marquis. We might even have developed a rift and turned against each other. We really fell into the Mang thief's trap." Liu Xiu said so, and he felt a little more satisfied with Han Yu. So many people just now were only concerned with how to calculate others and protect their own interests, and were obsessed with small things. No one noticed such an important point. Even Yin Shi, who was shrewd and scheming, only thought about how to deal with Han Yu, and didn't put his heart where it should be.

Han Yu didn't like to talk nonsense. Since Liu Xiu had reacted, he said, "Now that we have noticed it, we should be on guard. Let's ignore the things in Chang'an and think about how we will respond if the imperial court's troops arrive. Since Wang Mang has spent so much effort to deal with us, the battle must be huge."

Chen Li was somewhat happy to see Han Yu coming, although she understood that Han Yu came mostly for his wife rather than for her, but he came anyway. Compared with Liu Xiu, Han Yu was a truly good man, devoted to his wife and capable. The only shortcoming was that he was too unselfish. He had more power and possessions than Liu Xiu, yet he was loyal to Liu Xiu. However, only men like this could be cherished.

Ever since Han Yu came in, he had been talking to Liu Xiu. Chen Li hadn't had a chance to interrupt them, and she was afraid of disturbing them. Now she finally had a chance to speak, so she said, "Brother Han is right, I think so too. My caravan has also received news from Chang'an that the imperial army is on the way, and it is very powerful, not the small fights like before. Judging from the speed, it won't take long for them to attack Yiyang. We should think more about how to deal with the imperial army, and spend less time on those crooked things."

Chen Li still did not forget to make a few sarcastic remarks. Everyone present knew who these words were directed at, and it was also a reminder to Han Yu.

Yin Shi found it irritating to see that Liu Xiu and Han Yu seemed to have resolved their differences and were getting along harmoniously. However, his face turned dark again after being sarcastically mocked by that dead woman Chen Li, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, his expression showed some signs of turning black.

"Okay, stop talking about those nonsense, let's discuss how to deal with the imperial army. If anyone targets our people again, don't blame me for being rude." Liu Xiu said with some warning, to let Chen Li stop, but also to warn Yin Shi. At this point, Liu Xiu no longer had the same idea as before. Doing so would only make Han Yu angry. Yin Shi obviously had other ideas at the time, and might do something to ruin his plan.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Anyway, everyone knows who did what. Humph!" Chen Li was stopped by Liu Xiu and muttered a few words. Although her voice was low, most of the people present were martial artists and could hear it clearly. Liu Xiu was a little helpless, but Chen Li was a woman after all, so it was normal for her to be a little stingy.

Although Yin Shi was angry that his plan had failed and that he had not been able to weaken Han Yu's power, causing a greater rift between Liu Xiu and Han Yu, things could no longer develop as he had imagined. Moreover, the imperial army would arrive in a few days. He had defected to Liu Xiu and gave his sister to Liu Xiu in marriage. He and Liu Xiu were on the same side. If Liu Xiu was finished, he would also be in trouble. So even though he was unwilling in his heart, he did not come up with any tricks. Of course, this was also because he had been warned by Liu Xiu.

Everyone discussed this for the entire afternoon, and only when dusk fell did they come out of the conference room and say goodbye and leave.

Liu Xiu stopped Han Yu and said, "Xiuqi, wait a moment. I have something to tell you."

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he took out a few letters from the drawer and handed them to Han Yu: "Xiuqi, take these letters."

Han Yu read it and found that it was written by Liu Xiu in the afternoon when they were discussing something. He thought it was about the war. It turned out that these letters were for him, but he didn't know what they were for. Han Yu didn't open the letter, but looked at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu's answer.

"These letters are from some of my old friends in the capital. We have a pretty good relationship and are all reliable people. I have asked them to help you in the letters. If they can be of use to you, take the letters. Seeing the letters is like seeing the people. But what you said before is also right. Chang'an is controlled by the bandits. These people in the court may betray me in order to protect themselves. So even if I find them, I should be very careful. In a word, give the letters to Hengyi and let him act according to the circumstances."

Liu Xiu thought about it and thought that people would always be sincere to each other, especially people like Han Yu. He almost made a big mistake because of his wrong thinking. He should be on guard against others, but he should not push away people who are loyal to him. He should still help when necessary. However, in the matter of Beian Marquis, he could only do so much to help Han Yu. In the end, he wrote these letters to show his gratitude.

Han Yu was really moved now. Although Liu Xiu had calculations and suspicions about the Beian Marquis at the beginning, as a superior, this was a must. Afterwards, Liu Xiu showed full sincerity, showing both the broad-mindedness and righteousness that a lord and a friend should have.

"I won't thank you for Uncle Wen's kindness. I'll accept the letter." Han Yu never liked to express anything with words, as he thought it was too empty. Instead, he liked to prove things with actual actions. He solemnly took the letters and then said goodbye. He had already made up his mind about something.

Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Han Yu's reaction. He didn't like those people who were good at flattery. Their words sounded nice, but how loyal were they? How useful were they? It was better to do things in a down-to-earth manner. Han Yu was just such a person. If it weren't for some reasons that forced him to be on guard, he and Han Yu would definitely be the best partners and friends, instead of being on guard and suspicious of each other like now.

Han Yu, like Liu Xiu, actually hoped for a day when they could trust each other and fight side by side. And unlike Liu Xiu, he was able to take the initiative.

It was already late when Han Yu came out of Liu's house. He was a little worried about his wife. Although she didn't look so worried, when she heard that something happened to Bei'an Marquis and his son, how could she be completely relaxed after seeing that reaction? She just wanted to reassure him. Thinking of this, Han Yu quickened his pace back home, but was stopped at the door.
