After getting ashore, there was another new city blocking the three of them.

Judging from the color of the earthen wall, it should have been built for not long, and it will only last three or two months at most.

Xie Li looked up and saw that above the city wall, one stand and one whistle was three steps.

The guards of Sensen are several times more than those on the old city wall of Jiangling.

There are spears and halberds, and flags are waving. Each banner is written with the word "Huan" in the ancient official script.

After entering the city, Xie Li looked around for half a week. This place was much worse than Jiangling in Jiangbei, whether it was the number of houses or the abortion on the street.

In his opinion, the level here is similar to that of Yicheng. To talk about the difference, the boundary here is much larger than that of Yicheng.

Huan Xian did not lie this time. The three of them only walked for a quarter of an hour before they arrived at what he called Huan Mansion.

After being led into the mansion, Xie Li felt the same about this place as the city of Shangming.

The land is very large, but there is no luxury or excitement.

In the main hall, Huan Chan stood behind her father Huan Chong, looking uncomfortable and reluctant.

Before she arrived in Jiangling, she left everyone behind and couldn't wait to run into the mansion.

If she hadn't made an agreement with Xie Li when she was in Yicheng that she would have escorted them over, she would have been back within two or three days with her temperament.

I was originally thinking that after I came home, I would report my father Huan Chong’s itinerary these days, and then talk about the escort of the postman to his father, so I went back to the room to take a shower and rest.

But who knew that after she finished speaking, my father scolded her for nothing and didn't say anything, but he had no intention of letting go.

He also brought her to this hall, saying that he was waiting for the arrival of the inn.

While I was secretly angry, I heard a few footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Father, the child is back..."

Huan Xian said first, just listening to this sound, he looked a little lacking in energy.

When he and Huan Chan "run away from home", his heart was filled with passion and unrestrainedness.

But now, the momentum of the past few days is gone...

"Xie Li pays homage to General Huan!"

After Huan Xian finished speaking, Xie Li also walked up and bowed and said.

"You are the servant Xie Li, the little girl mentioned? "

After hearing the two of them, Huan Chong turned around and asked softly at Xie Li who was bowing.

I saw that he was about fifty years old, with a medium-high figure, and there was no sign of his majesty on his face, which was somewhat vicissitudes of life.

In terms of expression alone, it is easy to ignore. The person in front of him has also followed his brother Huan Wen and has experienced countless battles in the south and north.

“That’s right!”

Xie Li bowed and replied again.

"Well... there is no need to be too polite. Come and talk about it. Is Cilun (Zhu Xu) okay recently?"

After Huan Chong finished speaking, he glanced at his youngest son Huan Xian, and walked straight to the couch to sit down.

Xie Li stood up straight after hearing this and walked a few steps forward: "The Governor Zhu is healthy now and has a good complexion. He has a good appetite. He can eat three bowls a day for every meal."

"oh?"

Huan Chong raised his head and looked at Xie Li with interest and said, "When the army was besieged, Cilun's face remained unchanged, everything was normal, and it showed that his demeanor remained unchanged."

But he was curious about Xie Li's identity. Although the post of the post was usually the trusted confidants around the general, Xie Li knew how much Zhu Xu ate every time, so his relationship with Zhu Xu must be extraordinary.

However, Huan Chong knew about the people around Zhu Xu, and had never heard him say that there was a person named Xie Li next to him.

Could it be that the confidant I received only in the past few months?

"The style of governor Zhu really fascinated Xie Li, and the generals in the central part of Xiangyang City were all the only governor Zhu's leader."

"It should be like this. Then are the other soldiers and the people in Xiangyang City now okay?"

"When General Huan, the soldiers in Xiangyang City are now in a strong morale, and they are doing their best to defend the city. As for the people in the city, everything is as usual. Although the poor families rely on support, there should be no problem to maintain it for about half a year."

"Um?"

Huan Chong couldn't help but sit up straight, and then said to Xie Li: "Are you serious about this?"

Although Huan Chong did not send troops to rescue the Qin army broke through the outer city of Xiangyang, he still knew the situation in the outer city there.

Because the Qin army attacked the crossing of the river in April, forcing Zhu Xu to defend the central city, Zhu Xu did not have time to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and handed over a large area of ​​almost mature grain to the Qin army.

It has been two or three months now, and the city has no contact with the outside world. Without collecting food, many people must have started to lose food.

However, under such circumstances, no matter how rich the noble family in Xiangyang City is, it is impossible for them to offer food and relief.

Could it be that General Zhu Xu distributed the rations?

It is impossible, unless Zhu Xu doesn't want to defend the city, he will do this. But based on his understanding of Zhu Xu, he will not be able to do such a proactive surrender.

If nothing special happened, the only reason was that the boy in front of him was lying.

But judging from the calmness and calmness in this kid's eyes, it seems that he is not lying.

"In front of General Huan, Xie Li dared not say a word."

Xie Li knew that after these words were said, anyone with common sense would be suspicious, and even if it were him, he would still be the same.

So after he replied, he took out the letter with many folds from his arms, handed it to Huan Chan beside him, and bowed to Huan Chong: "This is a letter written by Governor Zhu to General Huan. This matter should be mentioned in the letter. Please also ask General Huan to read it."

Then he turned his head and smiled at Huan Chan beside him and said, "I'm so worried about Miss Huan."

Although Huan Chan was in a very reluctant state before they came, when her father asked about Xie Li's situation in Xiangyang City, she couldn't help but listen carefully.

After hearing what Xie Li said now was exactly the same as what he said on the road, I felt a little relieved.

Although he was a little suspicious, he thought that Xie Li would not speak vainly in front of his father.

Moreover, most importantly, these contents were what she wanted to hear in her heart, so she did not raise any questions.

While thinking, Xie Li suddenly turned around and handed the letter to himself. After subconsciously taking it, he realized that he was going to send the letter to him.

"Well……"

Huan Chan looked at Xie Li who was smiling at her, and wanted to give him a sword, but after a while, she still held it back.

She also knew in her heart that although she and her brother had trusted Xie Li enough along the way, it was the first time he and his father met, so it was worth paying attention to these etiquettes.

There are only four people in the main hall now, not even a servant, so I naturally did the errands myself.

After giving Xie Li a fierce look, Huan Chan walked forward with the letter and handed it to her father.

It was only after waiting for a long time that I heard my father say slowly to Xie Li:
Chapter completed!
