Back half a day ago:
When the battle of Wuyang City was about to begin, Master Feiyu took the initiative to visit Li Xian.
After the meeting, Master Feiyu immediately said: I want to join Anyang, and I am even willing to help find friends to join.
A Yuanying stage master actually took the initiative to express his desire to join Anyang. This was certainly a surprising thing. They were just discussing Feiyu Zhenren. Li Xian would definitely not refuse, but he still asked: "Senior, what conditions do you have?"
Master Feiyu smiled brilliantly: "No, I don't have any conditions! But I am used to freedom, and being a general or an official is not suitable for me. I can stay in Anyang to prevent Xiao Xiao, or I can follow the young master and provide close protection. Other than that, I will do nothing."
As a smart man, Master Feiyu did not discuss any conditions with Li Xian, but only expressed his willingness to join Anyang.
Why not negotiate conditions? It's too simple. As the first Yuanying stage master to take the initiative to join Anyang, there is no need to negotiate any conditions.
In this way, Master Feiyu successfully joined Anyang and became one of Li Xian's personal bodyguards. The original shadow secretly protected Anyang City or Qingyun Valley.
Li Xian treated Feiyu Zhenren half of what Xiao Yuquan and Yuquan Zhenren treated him. Both of them were in the early stage of Yuanying, but Yuquan Zhenren was a master of formations and a researcher after all. Feiyu Zhenren had no objection to this.
Then everyone continued their previous discussion and discussed the current situation.
It is naturally very good that Anyang can still maintain its development for two years; and for Anyang now, the longer the peaceful development period, the better.
As the discussion went on, they turned to the current situation in the Great Xia Kingdom.
After a brief thought, Xu Ren said, "Master, now that everyone has sent troops to the imperial capital, we must show some sign of loyalty. We don't have to join the war, but at least we must show some sign of loyalty so that we don't appear to be too special."
"How should I express it?" Li Xian was also worried. Anyang didn't want to participate in the war. If he wanted to do business, Anyang had to remain neutral. But reality and ideal are always different. Just as Xu Ren said, others have "attacked the false emperor", and it would be a bit unreasonable if Anyang didn't express anything. But if he wanted to participate in the war, Anyang would lose the qualification of neutrality, which would cause unnecessary trouble for Anyang's subsequent business plans.
Only by being neutral can you get the best of both worlds and do better business.
Moreover, Li Yulong did not take any action and Kaiping County did not make any declaration, which made it even more difficult for Li Xian to grasp the situation.
So when Li Xian heard Xu Ren point this out, he was also quite distressed and really didn't know what to do.
Xu Ren smiled confidently, "It's very simple, leave! Leave the current battlefield. You are the 'Eastern Governor of Great Xia', so you only need to go to the battlefield and publicly announce one thing: the late emperor only appointed you as the Eastern Governor, and did not appoint you as a regent, so we have no right to interfere with the throne. Since we have no right to interfere with the throne, all we can do is to protect the East and ensure peace in the East of Great Xia, that's all. We must have a sense of justice in doing anything. With this banner, we can truly remain neutral."
