Chapter 673: Have these things ever caught the eye of the Xu family's eldest son?
Liang Ren and his companions knew that they had committed a big taboo, so they knelt down on the ground without anyone reminding them as soon as they entered the tent, with an attitude of dead pigs not afraid of boiling water.
Ling Chu's expression showed nothing, and his tone was very calm.
Ling Chu first greeted Jiang Yubai and the others present one by one, then handed the list of supplies brought by the convoy to Mr. Xue. Then he knelt on the ground and said clearly, "I shouldn't have asked this question. I have dared to offend you today, and I beg for your forgiveness, Your Highness."
Jiang Yubai was so angry that he lost his temper. He held his forehead and said, "It's not a crime. You say it."
"I overheard when I arrived that the General of the Cavalry had committed a grave error on the battlefield and had been punished with thirty military sticks and confined to his tent."
Ling Chu paused and said, "General Huoqi made a mistake in his actions. He should be punished by the young prince and admit his guilt while in the army. This is an unquestionable rule and no one can interfere."
"It's just that when I came here, my host instructed me to personally hand over some things to the General of the Cavalry. I beg the young prince to grant me a favor and allow me to enter the tent for a moment to hand over the things to the General of the Cavalry."
"Once I have completed my master's instructions, I will immediately leave the army's encampment according to the rules and will not stay for a moment."
Liang Ren and the others said that no one had seen Xu Yu in the past few days, and no one knew what his situation was.
Not knowing anything is the worst thing.
Ling Chu had no intention of using Sang Zhixia's reputation to threaten Jiang Yubai, he just wanted to see Xu Yu.
Even though Xu Ou is seriously injured and has difficulty breathing in bed, we must make sure that Xu Ou is still alive.
Otherwise...
A murderous look flashed in Lingchu's lowered eyes, and the fingers that hung respectfully in his sleeves clenched silently.
If Xu Yu really made a serious mistake, even if Jiang Yubai ordered him to be beheaded in front of the three armies today, no one in the Xu family would have any doubts about it.
Liang Ren and Rongchang would not react in this way.
But anyone could see that it was not Xu Yu's fault that he had to retreat.
Severe punishment without any fault, and still rushing towards the fatal momentum...
Even if the person in front of him is the young prince of Lingnan, the future ruler of the world, and the young master of the Xu family has suffered such injustice today for no reason, this matter must not be let go.
The Xu family must give an explanation.
Jiang Yubai looked at Ling Chu tiredly: "You just want to see the General of the Cavalry?"
Lingchu said respectfully, "Yes."
"You can't see him."
Lingchu's lips tightened silently, and Jiang Yubai sighed, "You won't be able to see Xu Yu today, are you still leaving?"
Ling Chu lowered his head and said slowly, "I have been entrusted by my master. If I can't see him, I would rather die than leave."
"What if you don't leave and can't see him?"
Ling Chu quickly closed his eyes and touched the ground with his head. "It doesn't matter where my life ends up. I have no right to interfere in other major matters. The old man and the boss will make the decision."
This was extremely disrespectful, but Jiang Yubai was not annoyed at all after hearing it.
Jiang Yubai laughed and said, "See, I told you that you are a bunch of stubborn people."
"None of them are damn hard to fool!"
Jiang Yubai waved his hands in frustration, took a deep breath, sat up straight and said, "You are all people that the General of the Cavalry relies on. It's understandable that you are anxious, but you really can't see anyone."
"The General of Cavalry is not in the camp at all."
Ling Chu and the others stopped instantly.
Liang Ren thought of the nearby Chuzhou City, and his expression immediately changed: "Young Prince?"
"Shhh."
Jiang Yubai made a gesture of silence as if to compromise, and said bitterly: "We had to keep it secret from the outside world."
"Under such circumstances, it's not a good thing for more people to know that the General of Cavalry is not in the camp."
Jiang Yubai couldn't help but grit his teeth as he spoke: "But who could have imagined that you guys are really talented, worthy of your reputation as reckless men, and you caused such a big mess without even noticing it!"
"You are the ones I want to drag out and beat with a military stick the most right now!"
Jiang Yubai suddenly became angry, but the people who were kneeling obediently did not dare to say a word.
Rongchang's face changed again and again. He no longer had the courage to die with the General of Cavalry. He put his head on the ground guiltily and dared not breathe.
Lu Xin suddenly figured something out and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lu Xin immediately said, "Young Prince, we have been reckless today and deserve to be punished. We will be punished with ten military sticks and confined to our homes. Please calm down, Young Prince."
Jiang Yubai was so angry that he laughed: "Everyone knows now that I beat the brave and warlike General Huqi half to death. Now I beat you all together. Should I just raise my hands and admit defeat to that bastard Fu Kun?"
"If a fight really breaks out, who will lead the charge? Will we imitate Fu Kun and arrest the elderly, the weak, women, and children?"
The few people who had gotten into trouble were too insecure to speak out. Jiang Yubai could no longer bear it and walked over to kick each of them. He pointed at Liang Ren's nose and snorted, "You bastard!"
"When the General of the Cavalry returns and takes Chuzhou City, every one of you will be beaten with a stick and not a single one of you will be able to escape!"
"As for you..."
Jiang Yubai looked at Ling Chu in a compromising manner and said bitterly, "Don't leave yet, and don't rush to send a message to your boss."
"I promised Xu Yu that I would keep this matter a secret. If you let it slip, then..."
Jiang Yubai paused and said frankly: "Wait, wait a few days."
"When the General of the Cavalry comes back, you can go back and pass on the message as appropriate."
Even if Jiang Yubai didn't say it, Ling Chu had no intention of leaving before meeting Xu Yu.
After sending this troublesome group of people away, Mr. Xue paused and couldn't help but say, "Young Prince, as a general, it's a good thing to have prestige in the army, but..."
"But in this situation, are you relying too much on the General of the Cavalry?"
In other words, Jiang Yubai was a little too flattering to Xu Yu, and the people under Xu Yu were too disregarding of their own lives.
If such a brave general remains loyal, he will naturally be impeccable.
But one day, once...
"Sir, are you saying that you're worried that once Xu Yu becomes powerful, he'll eventually become my enemy and turn against me?"
Mr. Xue looked unhappy and didn't respond.
Jiang Yubai sneered: "How can I wait for that day?"
"Sir, how long do you think Xu Yu is willing to stay in the army?"
Mr. Xue was stunned.
Jiang Yubai said self-deprecatingly: "He says we are brothers, but his heart is not with me at all."
"Just wait and see, sir. In less than five years, this eldest brother from the Xu family will kick me out of the picture and go off to live a carefree life, leaving me all alone."
Xu Yu's ambition was never this.
Whether it is holding military power in the army or being promoted in the court.
Have these things ever caught the eye of the Xu family's eldest son?
What Xu Yu really wanted was never these.
Therefore, Jiang Yubai didn't care how much honor he gave to Xu Yu, nor did he care how amazing Xu Yu's prestige in the army was.
Because the guy named Xu really doesn't care about him at all.
The journey Xu Yu planned to take with him was just a short journey.
Jiang Yubai closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Even though he clearly knows everything..."
He knew that even if the birds were gone, the good bow would not be hidden, and he knew that Jiang Yubai’s promise to ensure the Xu family’s prosperity for generations was not false.
Xu Yu never thought of staying for long.
Otherwise, Xu Yu had countless ways to conceal his edge, and he would not have provoked Mr. Xue to say such words when his foundation was not yet stable.
The reason why one can show one's edge is that it doesn't take long to show it.
So there is no need to hide.
You can also have no worries.
Jiang Yubai rubbed his face and laughed, "Sir, we are just passers-by. Don't take yourself too seriously."
"As for now..."
"Just wait and see how high and far our Cavalry General can fly on the wind."
"Why bother yourself with other thoughts..."
