At this time, Zhang Xiu's whole appearance had changed drastically compared to the previous time in Hedong.

I have lost a lot of weight and my whole person seems to have no energy.

The two obvious dark circles on his face are particularly eye-catching.

It was not a long journey, it was too hard, the wind and sand were too strong, and Zhang Xiu was blown away by such vicissitudes.

It's not because during this trip, Zhang Xiu brought along the extremely beautiful Juicer Girl, who juiced her like crazy along the way, almost draining herself dry.

But he was particularly resistant and anxious about this trip.

During this journey, his uncle, who had never treated him like this before, and the words he said to him, kept lingering in his mind, making his thoughts heavy.

Thinking about this trip and the tasks he had shouldered, Zhang Xiu's heart became even heavier.

He is young and used to follow his uncle and was protected by his uncle. He also has good martial arts and is very capable. How has he ever been soft to others?

When have you ever done something so embarrassing?

Moreover, looking at Liu Cheng's behavior, he is extremely arrogant.

On this trip, I am no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

After being delivered to your door, you will definitely be severely humiliated by this guy!

It would be easier to say that this guy is older than me, but the key point is that this damn guy is younger than me!

Just thinking about these things makes Zhang Xiu feel particularly uncomfortable.

On the way here, Zhang Xiu wanted to drive away more than once without coming to Sishui Pass, which made him feel particularly tormented and uncomfortable.

But the pride in his heart, as well as the many words his uncle told him when he came, made him not do so...

Along the way, Zhang Xiu has been thinking about these things.

I can't sleep, I can't eat.

It would be strange if Zhang Xiu didn't change a lot under such great ideological pressure!

He has already met the soldiers and horses patrolling here at Sishui Pass.

These people on patrol had already sent people back quickly to report the arrival of themselves and others.

At this point, I have no way out!

Zhang Xiu thought in his heart, looking at the Sishui Pass that had appeared in front of him, secretly cheering himself up, and gritted his teeth and made up his mind!

Then he straightened his back hard, held his breath, and led the people towards Sishui Pass, which was more terrifying to him than Longtan and Tiger's Den.

Be mentally prepared that you will be severely insulted...

…

"Zhang Xiu is here? Which Zhang Xiu? Is it Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji's nephew?"

Liu Cheng, who received the report, looked a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would come at this time.

After all, Zhang Xiu had left a youthful and energetic impression on him during their previous encounters.

Moreover, the experience between the two parties was not very pleasant.

When I passed through Sishui Pass before, I once knocked him off his horse and captured him alive.

Later, they took away many war horses, ordnance and other things from Zhang Ji.

Later, Zhang Xiu and Niu Fu asked for it from him in Luoyang, and they lent it to him.

Until now, I have not returned it, and I have no intention of returning it.

With these things happening, according to Zhang Xiu's temperament, he shouldn't come over...

Could it be that this guy came here again to ask for war horses and weapons?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Cheng showed a smile on his face.

"Did you ever know what he was here for?"

Liu Cheng asked.

"He said he was guarding the military doctor along the way. He was worried that the military doctor would be harmed. At the same time, he also had a handwritten letter from his uncle Zhang Ji that he wanted to submit."

Liu Cheng, the personal guard, said immediately.

Liu Cheng thought for a while, nodded, and said no more.

After a while, Liu Cheng stood up and followed the guard outside.

At this time, Zhang Xiu had already led people to the military camp set up by Liu Cheng.

For a while, no important personnel came to greet him and others.

There are not even ordinary reception staff.

Even though she had made some preparations in her heart before, seeing such a scene now, Zhang Xiu still felt very uncomfortable.

The fists in the cuffs were clenched tightly.

It was at this time that someone came out of the camp.

This man walked very quickly, and all the soldiers who met him on the road saluted him.

Zhang Xiu, who was very angry just now, couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw this, and even his clenched fists unconsciously loosened some...

Because at this time, he had confirmed the identity of this fast-walking man!

This person is none other than Liu Cheng and Liu Kede who I have been thinking about for a long time!

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and lowered his head with great difficulty, preparing to face the humiliation from Liu Cheng.

Then, something extremely surprising happened to him.

While he was waiting, Liu Cheng strode up to him, and then his hands were held by two extremely warm hands.

This made Zhang Xiu couldn't help but tremble, and his whole body became a little stiff.

Then I subconsciously want to struggle.

However, his struggle was not successful because the two big hands holding his hands were holding tightly.

"Unexpectedly, Youwei personally led the team here. As soon as I got the news, I hurried out. I was not able to conduct a distant reception. I am very ashamed..."

Liu Chengman said to Zhang Xiu sincerely.

Compared with the previous time in Luoyang, when the red-faced and white-fanged guy ignored Zhang Ji's equipment, he was a completely different person.

Zhang Xiu was stunned when he heard this.

Ever since he received this task from his uncle, Zhang Xiu had been worried about meeting him at this time.

In his mind, after he came here, he would definitely encounter unbearable humiliation and torture.

After all, Liu Cheng doesn't seem to be a good person, and he doesn't have a very broad mind.

Even just recently, he still thought this way.

As a result, what happened now was completely different from what he thought!

Liu Cheng not only did not neglect and humiliate himself by not sending anyone to greet him and others, but instead came to greet him in person as soon as he was notified.

When I think about it, there is no humiliation such as words.

The other party's attitude was unexpectedly enthusiastic and his words were very nice.

In this public place, in front of the soldiers he led over, he gave himself enough face!

This was completely unexpected, and Zhang Xiu was unable to turn around for a while. With his hands held by Liu Cheng, he couldn't say anything and just froze in place.

He was in a daze, but Liu Cheng was not dazed at all, and still talked to Zhang Xiu very enthusiastically.

He said that he had already sent an order for the army cook to prepare a banquet, and after a while, he personally took care of Zhang Ji.

He also greeted the soldiers who followed Zhang Xiu very decently.

After such a period of buffering, Zhang Xiu's mind became much clearer.

He had already seen that Liu Cheng's attitude was truly sincere, and it was not like he said this deliberately to tease himself.

After realizing this, Zhang Xiu felt that many things that were blocked in his heart suddenly dissipated.

He used force in his hands to break free of Liu Cheng's hands, straightened his clothes and armor, and bowed deeply to Liu Cheng respectfully under the different gazes of the people around him.

"The boy was so arrogant that he bumped into the emperor's uncle. Please don't take offense to the emperor's uncle!"

Previously, Zhang Xiu felt that it would be more difficult for him to open his mouth and say such words than to kill him.

After all, when he was alone and locked in a tent before, he couldn't tell.

Not to mention in public, in front of Liu Cheng.

As a result, now, he said these words smoothly and his voice was not quiet.

Moreover, after saying these words, he was not so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in as he had imagined.
