Chapter 774: Are you going to change your habit of gambling with your life?
Xu Yu's unexpected and uninvited appearance instantly made everyone, including Mr. Qi, feel relieved.
The severity of mistakes is determined by comparison.
They did not follow Sang Zhixia's arrangements, and neither did Xu Yu.
And with Xu Yu taking the brunt of the attack, what else could anyone else do?
Xu Yu walked in with an expressionless face and clothes dripping with mud. His eyes like knives cut through the faces of these people. Old Qi glared at him unhappily: "What are you looking at?"
"The children are only in their teens, so it's okay if they don't know anything. I'm old and confused, but you're an adult, and you don't know anything either?"
Old Qi quickly winked at the little ones, then stood up decisively and said, "Children, let's go."
"It's so uncomfortable to drive all the way here. Let's go somewhere else and get something to eat."
Old Qi raised his hand and waved. The three little ones, lacking confidence, didn't dare to look at Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu's expressions, and ran away in unison.
Fan Shicheng and Gui Sheng were not within the scope of what Mr. Qi said, but these two old foxes turned around and retreated when they saw that the situation was not right.
Those who had good sense didn't dare to stay for long, and in the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the small house that was crowded just now.
Looking at Sang Zhixia who was sitting still from a distance, Xu Yu's heart was also beating fast.
He received all the letters sent by Sang Zhixia.
Not a single one was missed.
But Xu Yuleng did not do any of the things Sang Zhixia mentioned in the letter.
Xu Yu was first chased by Sang Zhixia to change into dry clothes. When he came back, he felt guilty. He casually pushed the wet hair on his face back and walked forward with a smile: "Zhizhi, are you angry?"
Sang Zhixia looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Xu Yu pointed at the few brats who had left and said, "Did they make you angry?"
"Zhizhi, don't take it to heart. When Mr. Qi is not around anymore, I'll go and take care of them. I..."
"Are you also ignorant?"
Xu Yu paused for a moment, and Sang Zhixia couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. "What did I tell you in the letter?"
"I've already said..."
"Isn't it that I'm so stupid that I don't remember it?"
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Sang Zhixia said in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"I think I've been in a lot of rain lately, so maybe it's flooded."
As Xu Yu spoke, he moved closer to Sang Zhixia. Afraid that the cold air in his hair would wet Sang Zhixia's clothes, he tiptoed onto a stool and sat down, saying with a playful smile, "Zhizhi, I'm completely confused. Can you please stop arguing with me?"
"you……"
"Zhizhi."
Xu Yu rubbed his hands vigorously to dispel the chill, then took Sang Zhixia's hand in his palm and said with a smile, "Besides, I'm different from those brats who are always causing trouble instead of helping others. I'm here to help."
"Would you like to know where I was before I came to see you?"
Sangzhi Xiamu frowned and didn't respond.
Xu Yu stretched his neck and leaned closer to say something. Sang Zhixia's eyelashes trembled fiercely: "You went to see Yuan Cai?!"
Xu Yu hummed with a hint of smugness, pinched Sang Zhixia's fingertips and said, "Yuan Cai and I have already made a preliminary agreement to lead the troops to break camp and enter Nanyun tonight."
"From today until the flood crisis in Jiangnan is resolved, both sides will work together to resist the flood."
Xu Yu briefly described the process of his meeting and discussion with Yuan Cai, focusing on the benefits of this move.
"Zhizhi, Yuancai has 30,000 soldiers and horses. If they are scattered all over the place and participate in flood control, the possibility of keeping the flood outside the city will be much greater. Even if..."
"Did you have any contact with him before you went to see Yuancai?"
Sang Zhixia suddenly interrupted Xu Yu: "Or did you know each other before?"
Xu Yu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Not really."
"But I've inquired about this person's past behavior, and it's not difficult to guess his character, so I..."
"So, without knowing their stance or the extent of their hostility, and without any prior communication, you brought two people and went to their camp?"
Xu Yu was worried and hurried to make amends, "Before I left, I had heard that Yuan Cai was interested in flood control."
"I can guess where his bottom line is."
Sang Zhixia looked at Xu Yu deeply, and all the anger was flowing back to her forehead.
"Guessed?"
"What if I guess wrong?"
The two armies are hostile, and the default battle line is right under their feet.
Xu Yu was equivalent to carrying his head in one hand and walking around the enemy camp, and the reason he did this was just a guess!
Xu Yu was speechless for a moment.
Sang Zhixia couldn't stand it any longer: "Are you sure you have planned everything perfectly? Are you sure your guesses are all correct before you even get a single word from the other party?"
The continuous accumulation of fire and the overwhelming pressure combined to become a weapon that destroyed his wisdom. Sang Zhixia yanked Xu Yu's arm away and said angrily, "You are alone in the enemy camp, fighting alone against those who do not know good and evil."
"You're not going to change your habit of gambling with your life, are you?"
Xu Yu shrank his neck guiltily: "Zhizhi..."
"Don't call me!"
Sang Zhixia gritted her teeth in anger, "The old and the young don't make sense, and you are even more unreasonable. When it comes to taking risks, no one can match you. No one can compare to your ability!"
"Do you think Nanyun is such a good place? Are you trying to squeeze in here even if it means breaking your head?"
"To be honest with you, I've already made preparations to organize people to evacuate Nanyun at any time, but you guys are still the same and still rush here without listening to my advice!"
"Who can I do to you?"
"What I said is all nonsense!"
Sang Zhixia couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and he was furious when he heard the bad news coming from all over.
When he looked at Xu Yu's face again at this moment, he was even more furious when he thought about how this man had repeatedly put himself in danger.
In his mind, Xu Yu cursed those old and young people one by one, and listened to the scolding with his head down. He also poured a cup of warm ginger tea with a respectful look, "Zhizhi, moisten your throat first."
"What shall I drink?"
"You drink!"
Sang Zhixia grabbed a handkerchief and wiped Xu Yu's hair while pinching the back of his neck unhappily. "Drink it quickly! I've got someone making you some cold-repelling medicinal soup, and it'll be delivered right away. If you take another sip, I'll skin you alive!"
Xu Yu was very considerate and drank two bowls of ginger soup in a row. He also gulped down the medicinal soup that Diancui brought him. He grabbed Sang Zhixia's wrist with his backhand and tilted his head: "Zhizhi."
"Don't yell."
Sang Zhixia forcibly pushed Xu Yu's face back.
Xu Yu simply leaned his head back against her waist, closed his eyes and smiled: "Zhizhi, I won't take such risks again in the future."
Sang Zhixia snorted, showing her disbelief.
Xu Yu said to himself, "When the matter in Jiangnan is settled, the army will be not far from the capital."
"I have accumulated enough merits, so I don't have to risk my life anymore."
Sang Zhixia's fingertips trembled slightly when she heard the voice, and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Xu Yu took Sang Zhixia's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, then said with a smile, "What I mean is, I'm not far from taking off my armor."
