Chapter 0078 Heroine
Li Yu remained silent, Cen Wenben's face was calm, and Fan Jin's face was gloomy. Although there were threats in Li Xiuning's words, they had to admit that what Li Xiuning said was definitely possible.
"According to Third Miss's opinion, should my Beggars Army surrender to the Li family?" Li Yu looked at Li Xiuning calmly. Li Xiuning had a sharp tongue and spoke eloquently. Cen Wenben, who was present, didn't know, but Fan Jin was definitely interested.
"Although the Li family is not prominent in the court, many ministers in the court are on good terms with us. The general is brave and my father will definitely like him." Li Xiuning looked at Li Yu without any fear.
"I don't know. If I, the general, ask the Third Miss to stay temporarily in the army, I wonder if Duke Tang will speak on our behalf." Li Yu suddenly chuckled.
"Although Xiuning is a woman, she won't allow herself to be threatened by anyone." Li Xiuning said calmly.
"Li Yu, who are you? You are nothing but a traitor. My wife appreciates you, so she agreed to speak for you. How dare you not know what is good for you?" Ma Sanbao was furious.
"Who are you? You are so arrogant in front of this general. What's the point of calling me madam or not? Is the Chai family famous? They are just providing some money and food for the Li family. Do you really think you are something?" Li Yu sneered, "I, Li Yu, can only get what I want by myself, not relying on others' rewards. The Li family is good, but I, Li Yu, really don't like it."
"General, you are very ambitious. I guess you don't take me, Li, seriously?" Li Xiuning looked at Li Yu deeply and said, "However, Xiuning hopes to make friends with the general. If you need help in the future, you can ask me, Li, for help. As long as Xiuning can do it, she will definitely help the general." Li Xiuning was not angry after hearing this. Instead, her face showed a bit more enthusiasm.
"I heard that Duke Tang has four sons, Jiancheng, Shimin, Xuanba, and Yuanji. Jiancheng is steady, Shimin is wise, Xuanba is brave, and Yuanji! It's better not to talk about it! But, to be honest, the third daughter is the heroine."
Li Yu looked at Li Xiuning deeply. Li Yuan was very cunning. He pretended to be honest in the court and let his sons and daughters come out. Especially Li Xiuning in front of him, she was very skillful. In history, she helped Li Yuan take over the entire Guanzhong with her own strength. It can be said that if there was no Li Xiuning, it would be very difficult for Li Yuan to easily enter Guanzhong.
"General, you are too kind." Li Xiuning looked at Li Yu deeply. He originally thought that Li Yu was just a fierce general, but now he realized that this Li Yu was definitely not simple. How could a fierce general know so much and be so familiar with the Li family? He is definitely not an ordinary person. If such a person is an enemy, it would be best to kill him with one blow, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
"However, Li Yu is willing to cooperate with the Li family." Li Yu touched the sword beside him and said, "Duke Tang has the world in his heart, but the world is so big and there are countless heroes. Not everyone is willing to be friends with Duke Tang. It's just that Duke Tang is not convenient to take action sometimes, and the Qihuo Army is willing to take action on behalf of Duke Tang."
Li Xiuning's face changed and she quickly said, "General, you are joking. My father is a rare good man in the court and has always been kind to others. How could he have any enemies? How could he do such a shady thing? General, if you need any help, you can tell Li, and perhaps something unexpected will happen. With this jade pendant, you can get help from the Chai family's industry." Li Xiuning took out a jade pendant from her arms with the word "wood" engraved on it and handed it to Li Yu.
"Thank you." Li Yu took it nonchalantly, and immediately felt something tender and smooth on his right hand.
Li Xiuning didn't expect that Li Yu would take it personally. She was caught off guard for a moment. When their hands touched, she realized that Li Yu had taken advantage of her. Her cheeks flushed and she glared at Li Yu with her beautiful eyes. But seeing that Li Yu didn't seem to care, she was slightly stunned.
"What a nice jade pendant." Li Yu looked at the jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was white and had a hint of warmth. It must be something special. What shocked Li Yu even more was the jade pendant itself. The word "木" on it represented many things, perhaps "李" or "柴". Li Yuan had taken everything from the Chai family through marriage, but people still thought Li Yuan was honest.
"General, you have just occupied Fangcheng. I'm sure you have many important matters to attend to. Xiuning will take her leave first." Li Xiuning felt uncomfortable as she watched Li Yu looking at the jade pendant. She felt as if she had done something wrong.
"Okay. Miss Third, please." Li Yu stood up and personally escorted Li Xiuning out. Looking at the beautiful woman's departing back, Li Yu's expression changed.
"What a great Third Miss Li! A woman can do so much! It's extraordinary!" Cen Wenben said quietly behind him, "But why doesn't the general agree to let Li Yuan speak for Xiang?"
"I will take what I want and let Li Yuan speak for me. Do we, the 10,000 people, have to become Li Yuan's subordinates?" Li Yu looked at the sky and said, "It is impossible for me, Li Yu, to become someone else's subject. Neither can Li Yuan. Look at Li Yuan. He married into the Chai family. In just a few years, he has made everything in the Chai family his own. Such a person is too scary."
"Yes, it's scary. Is this the child of a noble family?" Fan Jin couldn't help but ask. He was just a descendant of a prominent family in the county, but when he saw Li Xiuning, he immediately felt infinite shame in his heart.
"Yes! Who dares to join the rebels at this time, especially a woman? I admire such a woman very much." Li Yu had to admit that it was no wonder that Li Xiuning had such a reputation in history. The fact that she came to see him alone showed how extraordinary this person was.
"It's not easy, it's not easy." Cen Wenben sighed, "General, if you offend this woman today, it might be as she said, and the court will send a large army to attack. The noble families in Guanlong will not want a third expedition to Liaodong."
"Then let's wait for them to come!" Li Yu chuckled and said, "If things go wrong, Li Yuan wants to make both sides lose. Not only does he want us to lose, but he also wants to use us to consume the court's manpower and strength. Otherwise, how can Li Yuan start an army?"
"General, do you think Li Yuan will definitely start a rebellion?" Cen Wenben was a little skeptical.
"Yes, Li Yuan will definitely start a rebellion. It's even possible that Li Yuan hopes that we can live longer." Li Yu didn't care at all and said, "Those noble families will do the same. They all hope that the court will fail. Wait, they want to raise a tiger, and I will let them know what it means to raise a tiger and suffer harm."
Li Xiuning, who was in the distance, looked at the county government behind him and said, "This man is a strong enemy, but at least, he can be used by us. Go back and tell Dad to ask the court to send troops to attack him. The longer the delay, the better. It would be best if we can delay the court's troops."
