Chapter 102: I'd rather be a burden to others than someone else to blame me!
Huan Xian in the room had heard the words of the two of them. At this time, he had already walked out of the door and looked at Xie Li with a shocked look on his face. After a long time, he asked, "Jing Xuan? What accident did you encounter?"
Xie Li smiled slightly, then walked up and said to Huan Xian: "When I just crossed the river, I accidentally fell into the river. It was just on the shore, so I was not seriously injured. I was just soaked in my clothes and was not very comfortable to wear."
"oh……"
Huan Xian looked at his little sister's departure, then frowned slightly. Then he said to Xie Li: "Why did my little sister change her temperament today? He spoke to Brother Jing Xuan much more politely than usual."
"Uh, is that?"
After Xie Li briefly recalled the scene just now, he echoed: "It seems that it is indeed a bit different."
But I was a little worried in my heart: Could it be that there is a solution?
Huan Xian withdrew his gaze, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't worry about her, Jing Xuan come in quickly, I'll order the servants to get some hot water, let Brother Jing Xuan take a good bath, and then change into clean clothes."
Half an hour later, Xie Li cleaned up his body, then walked out from behind the screen wearing the clothes that Huan Xian had already prepared for him.
Huan Xian was still thinking about something at the low table. After hearing Xie Li's movement, he turned around and looked at him.
Then he said with praise: "Ha! What a handsome young man! Jing Xuan is going to Jiangling to make a fortune now, so you can make countless girls and ladies in the family fall in love with him."
"What Brother Yan Zu said...it seems to be somewhat feasible."
Xie Li came to him, looked at Huan Xian, who was still a little surprised, and then smiled casually: "But this person is based on clothes. Although Xie Li has a good foundation, it is mainly due to the direct connotation of Brother Yan Zu..."
Huan Xian couldn't hear this was Xie Li's joke, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Hehe, you Jing Xuan is really..."
At this time, he really didn't expect that Xie Li had such a "shameless" side, and he could not find suitable words to describe his behavior for a while.
Xie Li looked at him like this, his smile remained unabated, and then said, "Hmm? Is Xie Li's wrong?"
Huan Xian had no choice but to smile and said, "Yes, Brother Yanzu was just covered with uncensored jade before, but now he has washed away all the dew. With this straight-up icing on the cake, he will naturally be radiant and not like before."
"Why do you listen to what you said? It seems that I have never taken a shower..."
Xie Li was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that Huan Xian would be so dark-hearted.
The two chatted casually for a while, and then Xie Li said seriously: "Just just saw that Brother Yan Zu kept frowning. Is there any problem that cannot be solved?"
When Huan Xian heard this, he sighed softly before saying, "I thought about it and felt that this is the only thing we can do now... I am afraid that such a large-scale publicity campaign will have a great impact on my father's reputation."
Xie Li listened quietly, without rushing to interrupt.
Then Huan Xian continued: "Due to the war in Xiangyang, there are many people in Jiangdong who have already criticized their father. If the public opinion here in Jingzhou is not good for his father, then in the future..."
Xie Li raised his head and looked at Huan Xian, who was still worried beside him with deep eyes. He couldn't help but think: As Huan Chong's youngest son, although Huan Xian has not been favored or spoiled by Huan Chong on the surface, in fact, he must have been treated differently, regardless of whether Huan Chong was intentional or unintentional. Otherwise, Huan Xian would not have been hesitant and not determined enough now.
Xie Li tidied up the clothes that belonged to Huan Xian on his body, and then said warmly: "Brother Yanzu, although this person's words are awesome, compared with the exile or life safety after being seized, what is this person's words worth?"
"Oh... Although I, Huan Xian, am stupid, I know who is more important. I have been thinking about whether there is a way to reverse the public opinion in the future."
"It's hard to have both fish and bear paws, but this public opinion problem is big or small, so Yanzu doesn't have to take it too seriously."
"Well? Why did Jing Xuan say this?"
Huan Xian raised his head and looked at Xie Li, who looked indifferent, and said in question.
Xie Li couldn't help looking out the door, and then slowly explained: "In the hearts of the people, all news that does not matter to their own personal interests is just a boring topic of conversation before and after dinner. At best, it is just to satisfy his curiosity and vanity, which can be said to be no actual disadvantage to General Huan."
Then he turned his head and looked at Huan Xian and continued, "And there is the most critical point. Xiangyang cannot be defended, sooner or later. After the Qin army captured Xiangyang, he will naturally go south the next moment. Jingzhou will be the brunt of the brutality, and the people in Jiangling who follow the rumors will still count on you to guard their homes. They will definitely not dare to talk privately again."
After listening to Xie Li's persuasion, Huan Xian's heart that had been holding on to him finally calmed down.
The expression on his face was no longer as frowning as before, and then he bowed to Xie Li slightly, "Jing Xuan's words made people suddenly understand. It seems that Huan Xian is too worried. I hope my father is at the center of these public opinion and not be influenced by these words."
"hehe……"
Xie Li smiled softly, and then continued, "In Xie Li's opinion, General Huan would definitely not be affected so easily. Before, Duke Huan had the courage of Wei Wu, 'I would rather let others down than let others down!'. As General Huan's younger brother, naturally, would not be much worse."
Although his tone was firm, Xie Li was still a little unsure. This was just a polite statement to comfort Huan Xian. His understanding of Huan Chong was really limited. Although he had talked several times, Huan Chong always gave him an irrational feeling.
After hearing this, Huan Xian agreed. Just as he was about to answer, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Looking up, it turned out that it was his little sister Huan Chan, who was walking towards his room at this time.
In a blink of an eye, Huan Chan stepped into the door, but after a moment, she stood there again. A pair of pearl-like eyes stopped on Xie Li, who was smiling, and she forgot to move away.
Huan Xian, beside Xie Li, raised his right hand and waved left and right at Huan Chan at the door several times, then continued to ask: "Little sister, do you don't know this Jing Xuan? Or do you don't know this straight face?"
"Ah? Oh... I know everyone, I know everyone..."
