Chapter 139
Qin Yi returned to the backyard, told Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu the news that King Hongnong wanted to summon him, and went back to the front yard to meet Xu Huang.

Qin Yi led the horse out of the station, but saw that Xu Huang came to the station alone without any entourage.

"Gongming, you are considered the commander of Hongnong King's guards now, why don't you even bring a follower with you when you go out?" Qin Yi asked in surprise.

Xu Huang smiled wryly and said, "Tianyu, don't make fun of me. Although I am the commander of Hongnong King's guards, all the soldiers under my command are sent by Yuan Shao. I don't even have anyone I can trust."

"Then why don't you bring a few entourages to show off!" Qin Yi said with a smile.

Xu Huang shook his head noncommittally, and while untying the reins of his war horse from the horse post at the gate of the post station, he said to Qin Yi: "Tian Yu doesn't know anything. Before I came here, the princess secretly told me that there are some things I need to tell You. If you bring your followers, it is inconvenient to talk to you."

"Princess has something to tell me?" Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, "What is it?"

Xu Huang had already untied the rein, stepped on the horse, and said, "You and I will talk as we walk."

"Alright!" Qin Yi nodded, stepped on the horse, and drove forward with Xu Huang.

"The reason why King Hongnong summoned you is because Yuan Shao paid a visit to King Hongnong early this morning to discuss with His Highness the conferment of your official position." Xu Huang said.

Qin Yi said: "I don't know how Yuan Shao plans to arrange my official position?"

Xu Huang said: "Yuan Shao wants to show you as Yubayashi Cavalier."

"What's the role of Captain Habayashi?" Qin Yi asked.

Xu Huang explained: "Habayashi Qiwei is the official position of the Emperor's personal army in the Habayashi Army. Yuan Shao said that after King Hongnong ascended the throne, you will first assume the power of Habayashi Zhonglang as the Habayashi Qiwei and lead the army. Habayashi Army, guarding the palace."

"Hey, Yuan Shao actually takes such good care of me?" Qin Yi was surprised and couldn't believe it.

Xu Huang sneered: "Of course Yuan Shao would not be so kind. You don't know that the Yulin Army belongs to Guangluxun, and Yuan Shao has declared Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang as Guangluqing. Wang Kuang has always obeyed Yuan Shaoyan. In addition, Yu The generals of the Lin Army must come from Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's army, you, a Habayashi cavalry captain, is called the commander of the Habayashi Army, but you have Yuan Shao's cronies as your superiors, and Yuan Shao's confidantes as your subordinates..."

Before Xu Huang finished speaking, Qin Yi waved his hand: "Stop talking, I understand, Yuan Shao is actually planning to give me an empty official position."

Xu Huang nodded and said, "That's why the princess sent me to tell you."

"What's your advice, Princess?" Qin Yi asked.

Xu Huang said: "The princess tells you, don't covet high positions and fall into Yuan Shao's tricks. The princess said, you must strive for a foreign appointment, even if it is to be a county magistrate, it is better than staying in the court."

Upon hearing Xu Huang's words, Qin Yi immediately remembered what Tang Ji had said to him in the carriage when he followed Sun Jian in pursuit of Lu Bu and returned to Luoyang.

It seems that Tang Ji's worries at the time were about to be fulfilled.Before that brat Liu Bian ascended the throne, Yuan Shao was already desperately placing his confidants on important responsibilities.If after Liu Bian ascended the throne, the power of the government would fall into the hands of Yuan Shao.

What Tang Ji said was right, even if she was a magistrate in a local area, she would still be a local magistrate after all, which was better than looking at Yuan Shao's old face in court.Didn't Liu Bei have just been a county magistrate, and he finally made a great career.

"I understand what the princess means, don't worry, I will do what the princess says." Qin Yi thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

Xu Huang said: "Tian Yu, if you let go of the post, don't forget to take Xu to the post."

Qin Yi was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Why, even you don't want to be an official in the court?"

Xu Huang said: "According to my original intention, I naturally want to stay with King Hongnong and protect him. But the princess said that if I stay in the court, I will be bound by Yuan Shao, and I have nothing to do."

"So, the princess advised you to follow me and let go of your job?" Qin Yi asked.

Xu Huang nodded and said: "The princess said that she has entrusted you with a very important matter. But you are alone now, and you have no trusted people to help you. That's why you let someone follow you."

After hearing Xu Huang's explanation, Qin Yi felt mixed emotions.The first thing he felt was surprise. With the great power of Xu Huang and Zhao Yun, he had two generals.It will be easier to establish your own power in the future.

At the same time, he admired Tang Ji even more.This little girl is really not simple, she played a big game of chess.It is a great blessing that Liu Bian's brat has such a good wife who runs secretly for him and makes arrangements in advance!

Thinking about it again, Qin Yi couldn't help being a bit paranoid. Tang Ji arranged for Xu Huang to follow her, did she still have the intention of letting Xu Huang supervise me?I don't know if she has arranged other tasks for Xu Huang.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi turned his head and observed Xu Huang's expression carefully.

Seeing Qin Yi's expression was different, Xu Huang couldn't help but said in a daze, "Tian Yu, why are you looking at me with such probing eyes?"

"Oh, I wanted to ask you, but did you agree to the princess' request to you?"

Xu Huang nodded, and said: "What the princess said is very reasonable, since she asked me to follow you, I will follow you wherever you go."

"Are you so obedient to the princess?" Qin Yi was even more puzzled.This Xu Huang can't be a fool, right? Why is he so unintentional?
Xu Huang smiled and said: "Tianyu, I'm not afraid of your jokes. A long time ago, I admired the princess very much. She has far-sightedness and foresight. Since she asked me to follow you, she has her own reasons. I believe she will not harm me."

"Gong Ming, let me ask you a question. Are you a Geng this year?" Qin Yi suddenly asked incoherently.

Xu Huang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "A certain person is twenty-seven this year, why did Tianyu ask such a person's age?"

Qin Yi said: "I'm afraid Wangfei is only fifteen or sixteen, you are already thirty, how can you admire Wangfei as a little girl?"

"Tian Yu's words are wrong." Xu Huang shook his head and said, "If you have ambitions, it's not your age. If you don't have ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain. Although the princess is young, her mental thinking is far better than someone else."

"That's true."

Qin Yi actually admired Tang Ji's resourcefulness.Perhaps, King Hongnong and Tang Ji experienced life and death several times, which made Tang Ji so mature.To put it bluntly, Tang Ji had persecution delusions. She and Liu Bian, who always thought they would be persecuted, made plans in advance.

"Gongming, let me ask you one last question. Did the concubine tell you what is that extremely important thing she entrusted to me?" Qin Yi asked again.

Xu Huang shook his head and said: "This is a matter between the princess and you. She didn't tell me, so naturally I won't ask."

"Okay, then... If I can successfully let go of my job, I will ask Gong Ming to help me more in the future." Qin Yi cupped his hands at Xu Huang immediately.

"Tianyu can't see outside, helping you is helping the princess and His Highness. A certain duty!"
