Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu asked Wu Jin to be called, and asked the little princess to thank Wu Jin in person. The father and daughter recognized this life-saving grace.

Wu Jin stayed in the house all night in panic, and was brought to Li Xu early in the morning. When he saw the little girl sitting beside him, his heart finally settled down.

The wounds on the little princess' body were all flesh wounds, but they didn't affect her actions. She said crisply, "You are Wu Jin? It's not the same as when we met before."

Li Xu took a look at Wu Jin, and saw that he had been washed clean and changed into clean new clothes, revealing a fair and handsome face, and he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. I couldn't imagine how such a child could be. Live in safety among the beggars.

Wu Jin saluted with his hands tied, as if he had learned it before, and Li Xu asked him, "Are there other people in your family?"

Wu Jin's eyes turned red, and said: "No, the villain is from Yangzhou Prefecture. My father was a wealthy businessman in Yancheng. He died after going to sea last year. The elders of the family coveted my family's property, falsely accused my mother of having an affair with others, and was sunk in the pond. There was an elder brother who accidentally fell off his horse and died. My mother’s maid secretly took me out, saying that their next target must be me. After running away for several months, the maid fell ill and died, and the villain was left alone Alone, I don't know where to go."

Li Xu frowned and asked him: "Since your family is a wealthy businessman, didn't you bring any money when you ran away?"

Wu Jin lowered his head to his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "The villain is inexperienced, he went out to show off his wealth, and was robbed halfway."

"Tsk." Li Xu didn't know what to say about him. For such a simple rich young master, if he escaped with money, he would be like a fat sheep running into the forest. It's not bad to be able to save his life.

"Have you thought about it clearly, do you really want to follow me?" Li Xu saw that he no longer had the arrogance of a rich young master, and also intended to accept him.

"The villain has already made up his mind. Although he doesn't know the identity of the adult, he hopes to follow the adult and do the work of a dog."

Li Xu saw that he was pretending to be a little adult and speaking righteous words, and said with a low chuckle, "What kind of work can you do, the key is to learn your skills... By the way, can you read?"

Wu Jin blushed from his smile, "I have studied for several years."

"That's fine, I'll find you a teacher to continue learning, if you can learn the skills, I will definitely give you a bright future."

The little princess liked this big brother very much, and thanked him solemnly, and gave him a piece of gold as a reward.

Wu Jin held the gold very hot, and hurriedly put it off: "No... I am very grateful that my lord can stay here, and this gold is absolutely unacceptable."

Li Xu said nonchalantly: "This is Miss's way of repaying your kindness. If you take the gold, the kindness of both of you will be wiped out, or...do you want to keep this kindness and repay it in the future?"

"No, no... the villain has no such intentions." Wu Jin accepted the gold with trepidation, his heart beating violently, knowing that this lord was not as kind as he appeared to be.

He glanced at the little girl and saw that she was smiling at him, he was immediately filled with joy, he came to report the letter yesterday purely to get rid of his fate, now seeing her sitting safe and sound, and smiling so beautifully, he was very glad at once.

Li Xu handed Wu Jin over to Ji Hanyu as a student, and asked him to teach him strictly. This person doesn't look very clever, but he can live to this day, which shows that he still has some skills. If he is taught well, he may be of great help in the future.

How could Li Xu at this moment have imagined that such a submissive young man would stand tall in the court in the future and become an old fox that everyone feared.

After lunch, Li Xu waited for the little princess to fall asleep, carried him into the carriage, and together with the Yulin Army went to suppress the bandits. Jia Ping and He Zun didn't dare to put him in danger, and persuaded him to stay. It was just to suppress the bandits. The Habayashi Army is enough.

But Li Xu was afraid of the bitterness of finding someone, so he wanted to act together, lest someone over there find him and there would be an emergency. He hadn't forgotten that there were still people staring at him. Without the guards of the Habayashi Army, No one knew how many assassins got into such a big house.

One hundred miles is not far, Li Xu and his party arrived at the foot of the mountain in the evening of the next day, and met Ye Changqing there who had gone to inquire about the news in advance.

This saves trouble, Ye Changqing hurriedly told Li Xu the news he had inquired, "Your Majesty, there are more than 200 bandits on the mountain, and they live on the top of the mountain. It used to be a Taoist temple, but after being robbed by these people, it became a bandit den. They dug a lot of traps outside the Taoist temple, and it is difficult to go up without anyone leading the way."

Li Xu stroked his chin and thought for a while, "The position on the top of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very difficult to attack by force. Do you have any suggestions?"

Ye Changqing hurriedly expressed his thoughts, "I thought of two plans, one is to divide the people into two teams, one team climbs up the mountain from the front to attract the attention of the gangsters, and the other team goes around from behind to attack from both sides."

Li Xu thinks this plan is good, and heard Ye Changqing talk about the second plan, "The second plan is that some of us will pretend to be a caravan, let out the wind, let them take us up the mountain, and then discuss with Commander Lin when we are on the mountain. , come to cooperate with the inside and the outside."

Li Xu couldn't help but glanced at Ye Changqing. He didn't expect that this young man would be a leader in battle, and he would be able to win him over if he had the opportunity in the future.

"Which option do you think is better?"

Ye Changqing thought for a while, and said: "The first plan is faster, but there are cliffs behind the mountain, it is difficult to climb up, and it is extremely dangerous. The second plan is more time-consuming, and it also requires the other party to be able to hook. Easy to operate."

Li Xu nodded, "You think very comprehensively. Since both have their disadvantages, let's combine them."

Ye Changqing looked at Li Xu seriously, he also thought for a day and a night before he came up with these two solutions, he never thought that King Shun could come up with a better solution after only listening to one sentence.

"Since there are more than 200 people on the other side, then use the second method to lure some people down the mountain first, and then we will attack up the mountain, set a fire on the mountainside, force them down, and then catch some people and take us up. The old lair is occupied, and when their people come back, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop, unless the other party does not want this nest to escape, otherwise they will never come back."

Ye Changqing clapped his palms, and said cheerfully: "Yes, that's how it should be, and the prince is thoughtful."

Li Xu patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "You are not bad, you have a flexible mind, but you lack actual combat experience."

Ye Changqing was overjoyed by the praise, but also a little embarrassed, "Your Highness has no actual combat experience."

Li Xu thought to himself: Although I have no actual combat experience, I have watched far more movies and TV shows than you.
