A bright moon hung in the sky, hundreds of bonfires were lit on the ground, and the assassination during the day delayed some time.

On the official road, Li Xiaoyao sat in front of a bonfire and savored the lamb legs roasted by Lin Xiao.

He enjoyed such a time, a fight that made people excitedly.

He picked up the wine bowl beside him and took a sip. If Li Dequan hadn't been there, he would have wished he could have fought against the knife and rushed to the front line during the day.

Speaking of Li Dequan, he was like a fly, surrounding Li Xiaoyao almost always, making him have no chance to chat with Lin Xiao in private.

Lin Xiao on one side gave Guo Da a wink. Guo Da nodded with a smile, picked up the wine bowl, stood up, walked to Li De and sat down.

"Eunuch Li, I will pay my respects to you." Guo Hu smiled sweetly.

Li Dequan caught off guard and looked up and said, "General Guo, our family never drinks."

"Come on, Eunuch Li, I would like to you." Lin Xiao walked forward, sat on Li Dequan's left, and carefully held his shoulder and said cheerfully.

"Two." Li De said in a full voice: "Our family is really incompetent to drinking."

"Eunuch Li, you must drink this wine today." Li Xiaoyao patted the fishy oil powder in his hand, wiped his mouth, and looked up and said, "Today you sacrifice yourself to protect me, and I will also respect you."

"Thank you, Prince Xiaoyao, for your praise. That's what a slave should do." Li Dequan said with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao stood up, holding a bowl of wine in his hand, walked to Li De and smiled and said, "This bowl of wine, I wish you, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Lin Xiao was not idle either. He picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine into the empty bowl beside him, and handed it to Li Dequan.

Li Dequan looked at Li Xiaoyao awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "Prince, I really don't know how to drink."

Li Xiaoyao's face darkened and said, "Eunuch Li, are you not giving me face? Or are you looking down on me?"

"No, no." Li Dequan said hurriedly: "How dare I have that courage!"

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said domineeringly: "Then let's drink this bowl of wine."

Li Dequan felt a little restrained by an invisible momentum.

He took the wine bowl handed over by Lin Xiao with some embarrassment and said with an embarrassing expression: "Prince, I wish you this bowl of wine."

"Hahaha..." Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, "That's right!"

Four people touched the bowl, and Li Xiaoyao and the other two killed the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Li Dequan looked at the three people in front of him and complained in his heart. If he drinks this way, wouldn’t he be able to drink someone to death?

He noticed three gazes from outside, and he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and drank the wine in the bowl in one breath.

In just a while, he coughed several times.

Lin Xiao once again filled him with wine and smiled and said, "Eunuch Li is worthy of being a hero in the world of father-in-law. He is so brave in the face of life and death. This move of father-in-law is indeed admired by villains. Come...... The villain respects Eunuch Li again."

"No... our family really can't drink it anymore." Li Dequan refused with an ugly expression.

"Eunuch Li, this is your wrong thing. No matter what, you have protected Prince Xiaoyao today regardless of your own safety. This is your righteous act, so you must do this bowl of wine." Guo Da raised the wine bowl aside and echoed.

Li Dequan looked at Li Xiaoyao, then silently picked up the wine bowl, touched Lin Xiao and the others, and then drank another bowl in one breath.

After drinking two bowls of wine, a blush rose on Li Dequan's white face and said with a dizzy expression: "Our family is ineffective in drinking, so I really can't drink it anymore."

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly, bent down to look at Li Dequan, and said affectionately: "Eunuch Li, do you know? When you were in the carriage, you protected me in front of me, I knew that you were a loyal person. I was very moved. I would like to respect you again."

"Prince, I really can't drink anymore..." Li Dequan said in a daze.

However, Lin Xiao and Guo Da were at this moment, half-heartedly pouring the wine from the bowl into Li Dequan's mouth.

Li Xiaoyao sat back on his original position, picked up a roasted lamb leg, and started eating again.

"Brother Lin Xiao...Brother Guo Hu, our family tells you that back then, our family was also a famous brave king in our village. Who dared to peek at the widow taking a bath when you were a child?"

Li Dequan looked at Li Xiaoyao and the other two with a confused look. Seeing that they didn't speak, he smiled silly and said, "You don't dare, our family dares..."

bump!

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Li Xiaoyao and the other two looked at each other and smiled.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaoyao got up and walked to a secluded corner.

Lin Xiao followed and whispered: "Prince, news comes from the capital..."

Lin Xiao paused, not knowing whether he should say it.

Li Xiaoyao's eyes turned cold, and he knew that Lin Xiao was not an indecisive person.

Things that can make Lin Xiao feel obscure will definitely hurt him.

Li Xiaoyao patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a casual expression: "Is it about Qin Xiaotong?"

"Prince, Miss Xiaotong..." Lin Xiao was used to calling and did not change his words for a moment. He looked up at Li Xiaoyao, and then said: "Qin Xiaotong was taken to the Prince's Mansion by the Prince. Originally, the two were scheduled to get married yesterday, but for some reason, the Prince drove Qin Xiaotong out of the Prince's Mansion yesterday."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoyao clenched his fists with both hands and turned silently: "Silly woman!"

He gritted his teeth.

Without Qin Chuan, you, Qin Xiaotong, are just a tool to vent your feelings to the prince.

Greedy and vain? Are you satisfied now?

The prince valued not your Qin Xiaotong, but your father's 100,000 Xuancheng border troops.

He took a deep breath, calmed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Where is she now?"

"Back to the prince, Qin Xiaotong has now returned to the Qin family. However, according to the spy's return, it is not easy for her to live in the Qin family." Lin Xiao said.

Li Xiaoyao was silent for a while and sighed: "What's wrong with the second prince?"

"Back to the prince, since Nangong Yue entered the capital, the second prince seemed to be low-key and rarely appeared outside the palace. However, he secretly contacted Ye Hongyuan, who was stationed in Hengcheng."

"Ye Hongyuan?" Li Xiaoyao frowned. This man was the chief general of the Hengcheng border army, holding an army of 200,000.

"He wants to bribe Ye Hongyuan?" Li Xiaoyao asked indifferently.

"This subordinate has not yet been found out." Lin Xiao said.

Hengcheng, which Ye Hongyuan stationed, is adjacent to Zhao State. If he is really bribed by the second prince and brought his troops back to Beijing, Han State will inevitably be attacked by Zhao State and Chu State.

By then, the Han Dynasty will be in danger.

"If you investigate again, you must not let Ye Hongyuan join the second prince's sect." Li Xiaoyao said majestic.

"promise!"

Lin Xiaogang was about to turn around, but Li Xiaoyao suddenly said, "Notify me, set off overnight and rush to the capital."

"No!" Lin Xiao looked at Li Xiaoyao in confusion, then turned around and walked away.

"Entering Beijing overnight..."

"Entering Beijing overnight..."

He ordered his soldiers to ride horses through the official road and shouted all the way.

The soldiers sitting around the bonfire stood up one after another, and the sentries arranged back to the team.
