When Li Rui finished talking about the details, Shi Shude couldn't help but ponder. As Li Rui said just now, he came to join him. For Zhen Haijun, time was nothing important. If he was an experienced officer like Lu Fang, it would be fine. An old eunuch like him who failed to do business and would not be able to do martial arts at most would be thrown into the mansion as a clerk to manage documents, just to keep an idle person. He was also mentally prepared for these things, so he was locked up in the inn a few days ago.

He was also calm and composed. But the two of them came by coincidence. They happened to be caught between the two factions. If they said the wrong thing, they would naturally be dead. But even if they were right, they would not have a bright future. The loser naturally had a grudge. The winner would only kick him aside as a scum that had no value. I was afraid that the ending might not be much better than the wrong team. Shi Shude, who had been in the palace for more than 20 years, has seen too many such situations.

Thinking of this, Shi Shude looked at the coachman in front of him, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Li, did you ever express your opinion when you were in Hangzhou?"

"How is that possible!" Li Rui's head was like a rattle: "I'm not a fool. If you say something wrong, the consequences will be very miserable. Don't worry, I just told Guangling's situation truthfully, and didn't even say a word of truth."

Shi Shude showed a smile on his face and said, "That's good, that's good. Brother Li can give me a truth, according to your wishes, should I fight with Huainan?"

Li Rui hesitated for a moment and smiled, "You and I are grasshoppers on the line, so what else is there? If I do, I should take this opportunity to fight Huainan. Otherwise, you and I, the fugitives in Jiangbei, will only be thrown into the corner to be small officials. When will you have the chance to make a comeback?"

Shi Shude nodded, and Li Rui's words also made sense. If he continued to maintain peace with Huainan, the Zhenhai Army would have been on track at this time. It would be difficult and difficult for Li Rui, an outsider, to make a comeback. Only by fighting with Huainan can he have a place to use his skills. As for winning and losing, what the consequences are, it is not something he should consider.

As the vehicle bumped on the road, the car calmed down. After seeing Shi Shude asking him two questions, Li Rui just lowered his head and thought, stopped talking, and no longer asked questions. After all, there was still a lot of time on the road from Huzhou to Hangzhou. Such an important thing could never come to a conclusion at once, so he no longer spoke, just looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

The two passed two inns, changed boats, and headed to Hangzhou along the waterway. Shi Shude suddenly asked, "Brother Li, do you say that you were old acquaintances with Mr. Lu in the past, what kind of person is he?"

Li Rui was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a moment before answering: "Well, the first time I met him was on Huai, he commanded the refugees to besiege the caravans in Huainan. I commanded a team of cavalry in the caravan. After he defeated the caravan, he secretly surrendered to the King of Wu and conquered Haozhou as an internal agent. At that time, I felt that this man had become unparalleled and had great courage and could do anything. Later, after we met for a long time, we found out that he was a man on weekdays.

He was extremely cautious and very tolerant. During the rebellion of Dong Chang, he followed Gong An to the south of the Yangtze River and made many military achievements. However, the King of Wu promoted him openly and secretly and appointed him as the governor of Huzhou, which was actually controlled by Qian Miao. He handed over most of his strength to An Gong, and led more than a thousand confidants to recruit soldiers to capture Huzhou, and took such a large territory bit by bit. To be honest, I still don’t understand what kind of person he is.”

"It can be visible and hidden, fine and huge, short and long, climb the sky in the spring equinox, hide in the abyss, call the wind and rain, and do everything!" Hearing Li Rui say this, Shi Shude's face was solemn, murmuring in his mouth, as if he was thinking about something. Li Rui next to him was confused, and he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, and was about to ask, Shi Shude suddenly said, "If your old master could tolerate it like Mr. Lu, he was afraid he would not end up like that."

"Not bad!" Li Rui's face showed a hint of sadness and nodded and sighed when he heard Shi Shude's words.
