Xu Yuanzhi was stunned for a while before speaking again with a wry smile.

Thinking back then, literature was popular in the land of Qingxu, and he, Xu Yuanzhi, was full of enthusiasm. He originally wanted to participate, but God's will played a trick on him, and he committed a murder at that time. Firstly, he wanted to avoid it, and secondly, he had no face to face it.

Go and participate.

Since then, he has been fleeing here all the way. He originally built a thatched cottage in a remote place outside the city and wanted to live a life of peace and quiet. Unexpectedly, he met Liu Xuande by chance.

Since then, Liu Xuande has come to visit him in person several times.

After this back and forth, Xu Yuanzhi was grateful for Liu Xuande's favor and agreed to his request. It happened that his talents and knowledge had been put to use, and his passion was not buried.

From this point of view, Xu Yuanzhi and Guo Fengxiao had the opportunity to join Xi Yu's account at the same time, but as fate would have it, tensions were about to rise when they met again.

In a few words, both of them couldn't help but lament that so much has happened in these years.

"Brother Yuan Zhi, although you and I are not real brothers, we are better than real brothers. When you fled because of a murder case, you only left your old mother at home to live alone. I have always supported you!"

"If Brother Yuanzhi really wanted to be such an unkind villain today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said so much to me, would he?"

Guo Fengxiao glanced at the brazier beside him. It was clearly prepared for Xu Yuanzhi because he was worried that he would catch a cold.

Guo Fengxiao just stared at Xu Yuanzhi, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

"Brother Fengxiao, let's be honest. You supported my old mother for a lifetime. This is a lifetime kindness. Finally, you died for my old mother. I, Xu Shu, owe you everything in this life!"

Xu Yuanzhi's face was extremely solemn.

"It's just that what I hate the most in my life is those unkind and unjust people. How could I not know the purpose of your visit."

"But asking me to abandon Liu Xuande and turn around to join the acting master, wouldn't it be unfair to me?"

After saying this, Xu Yuanzhi drank all the wine in the glass, and then poured another glass as a token of respect for Guo Fengxiao.

The friendship between the two people cannot be explained in a few words, and these glasses of wine are even more incomprehensible, but this can make Xu Yuanzhi feel a little relieved.

Guo Fengxiao was not polite, he drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, and then burst into hearty laughter.

"Brother Yuan Zhi, forgive me for being blunt, the most indispensable thing under Xi Gong's account nowadays is talented people, whether they are counselors or generals leading troops, there are countless!"

"With my talent, I am only second-rate. If I advise you to join the opera industry now, it will be harmful to you. It is better for you to have a bright future under Liu Xuande!"

As soon as Guo Fengxiao said these words, Xu Yuanzhi was immediately confused.

"What do you mean by this? Isn't the purpose of your visit here to persuade me to defect to Xiyu?"

Xu Yuanzhi couldn't figure it out. It was obvious that Guo Fengxiao came here to see him. Was it just to catch up with him and reminisce about the past?

This is not like Guo Fengxiao's style. He must have other purposes for his trip.

"Haha, Brother Yuanzhi, what you said is wrong. You and I have not seen each other for many years, so why not come to you to reminisce about old times? Besides, I also want to see if the sword in your hand is still as sharp as it was back then."

Hearing this, Xu Yuanzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at the sword beside him.

"Have you still carried it with you after all these years?"

Guo Fengxiao asked with a smile.

"That's natural. How can I make a sword that isn't sharp? It's still as sharp as iron!"

Xu Yuanzhi seemed very confident, but he couldn't figure out what medicine Guo Fengxiao was selling in this gourd.

But since he was told, he didn't hide his clumsiness and drew out his sword and slashed it towards the corner of the table.

The neat gap appeared in front of several people, which seemed to say invisibly that this was a good sword.

"Okay, as expected, the sword is still the same as before, but brother Yuanzhi, you have become blunt!"

Guo Fengxiao put away the smile on his face.

The actions of the two people here caused the shopkeeper on the counter to look up, fearing that they would destroy the shop.

Huang Xu on the side also drew out his own sword without hesitation at the moment Xu Yuanzhi drew out his sword just now.

He had already planned to take action, but Guo Fengxiao shook his head and stopped him.

"Brother Fengxiao, what do you mean?"

Xu Yuanzhi seemed to have thought of something and frowned tightly.

"To tell you the truth, the scenes I saw in Dawu City along the way can only be described as miserable. You have stayed here much longer than me. Have you ever thought about why this scene happened?

?”

"The Jiangxia area has never experienced the persecution of war, but why does it appear so desolate? The local people are impoverished and have no hope of life!"

"I naturally know that since the death of Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, his son Liu Qi has no ability to govern, which has led to the people in Jingzhou and even Jiangxia being in dire straits. The major wealthy families have preyed on the common people unscrupulously, resulting in such a tragic situation today!"

Guo Fengxiao nodded slightly when he heard this.

"It seems that you are still confused. Since you know this, why not stop them, but instead allow them to harm the village like this? So what if you are not stupid?"

Xu Yuanzhi was speechless when Guo Fengxiao asked this question, and then his eyes widened.

"you mean?"

"That's right, where has the heroic concubine Xu Yuanzhi gone? Don't you want to find a way out for the people of Jiangxia and seek justice for them?"

Guo Fengxiao jumped up in deep emotion and spoke passionately.

His words made him realize his wish deep in his soul.

Yes, I used to be very ambitious earlier, so why have I fallen into such a decadent state now?

The shopkeeper of the restaurant nearby, hearing the words of the two men, was so frightened that his legs became weak and he sat on the ground, not even daring to make a sound.

Guo Fengxiao's grounded speech made Xu Yuanzhi's blood boil.

"Brother Fengxiao's words awakened the dreamer. This wealthy family in Jiangxia City should indeed be well managed. But if I act wantonly, wouldn't it be against Liu Xuande's original intention? How can I not repay my kindness when I am under the fence? I want to do this thoroughly

The solution requires long-term consideration.”

Saying this, Xu Yuanzhi winked at Guo Fengxiao imperceptibly and turned to look upstairs.

Guo Fengxiao is so smart, how could he not understand what he meant.

"Shopkeeper, find a private room upstairs and move our food and wine up there, and don't leave the brazier behind!"

After hearing Guo Fengxiao's instructions, the shopkeeper didn't hesitate at all and hurriedly moved all the food on the table upstairs.

On the other side, Huang Xu was not idle either. He came out this time just to accompany Guo Fengxiao.

However, he couldn't go in and disturb the two people talking in the room, so he could only ask the shopkeeper for a table, and just sit at the door guarding the door carelessly.

After the two of them talked, Huang Xu also took a rough look and figured that Guo Fengxiao would not be in any danger for his life, so he could feel at ease.

"What exactly is Liu Xuande's plan? Can you tell me?"

After changing places and the two of them sat down, Guo Fengxiao asked again.

"well!"

Xu Yuanzhi sighed first.

"Liu Xuande just asked me to come here to recruit troops. Before I came, he specifically told me not to conflict with the local wealthy families. I just need to strengthen my troops."

"That's why I chose to join forces with the local wealthy families to recruit soldiers!"

Xu Yuanzhi hesitated for a while, then told Guo Fengxiao everything about the situation.

"Actually, Liu Xuande did this mainly because he did not want to damage the relationship with Liu Qi."

Once there is a conflict between Liu Xuande and Liu Qi, wouldn't it be equivalent to Liu Xuande personally ruining his reputation for benevolence and righteousness?

Although Xu Yuanzhi said this, the lovely people knew very well that the Jingzhou area was now Liu Qi's territory on the surface, but in fact it had almost fallen into Liu Xiande's pocket.

It was just because some powerful people in Jingzhou were still dissatisfied with Liu Xuande that he did not propose Jingzhou Mu.
