The moment he stepped into the Jiaofang Palace, the tiredness on Xiao Xu's face was swept away, and his steps became brisk.

"A-Ning," Xiao Xu stepped forward with a smile and took Gu Wanning's hand: "How are you feeling today?

Gu Wanning's face was ruddy, his complexion was quite good, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "This child must be very well-behaved." I didn't make any fuss in my stomach. I eat and sleep well now, and I don't have the slightest reaction to morning sickness. ”

This tire is much more stable than the first two tires.

Xiao Xu glanced at Gu Wanning carefully, and then laughed: "It's good to get fatter." ”

Gu Wanning raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xu, and keenly noticed the gloom between Xiao Xu's eyebrows: "What's wrong?

Xiao Xu replied lightly: "It's not. You can just take care of your baby now, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Gu Wanning frowned slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Even if you don't say it, I will know the same in two days." ”

That's just as well.

There is a war going on at the border, and any relevant news will spread in the shortest possible time. Gu Guanning did not deliberately put his hand into the court, but the news was still very well-informed.

Xiao Xu smiled helplessly: "That's it, I'll tell you, don't be angry." ”

After speaking, he told the king of Qi about the installation of Neiying in the border army for more than ten years.

Gu Wanning's expression really turned cold.

In the final analysis, this matter is not unrelated to the dead Dingbei Marquis Gu Zhan.

The young Gu Zhan trusted his brother-in-law too much, and he didn't expect that King Qi would harbor evil intentions and take advantage of Gu Zhan's trust in him to do such things.

At this time, this matter was exposed, and Gu Zhan's reputation was undoubtedly affected.

In the way of the emperor and queen, no one in the court dared to say more. Everyone had to criticize Gu Zhan in private. Even the Dingbei Hou Mansion will be implicated.

"Today, the third uncle is in the court, and he has a bold guess. said that Xiao Rui must be hiding among the enemy army, and instructed the enemy army how to attack and defend the city. ”

has already started, Xiao Xu simply said another important matter: "I have already issued an order to go to the border pass, and ordered the border army to search for Xiao Rui's whereabouts with all his might, and kill him!"

Gu Wanning was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not easy!"

Xiao Xu's eyes flashed with coldness: "No matter what, you have to kill!"

This familiar name was once a thorn in the hearts of the husband and wife.

After a few years, thinking back to Xiao Rui, that cold and handsome face is still very distinct. It seems to be engraved in my mind, I never mention it on weekdays, but I never really forget it.

Xiao Xu quickly said: "In short, you put the safety of the fetus first. Leave that to me. ”

Gu Guanning snorted.

Every time Xiao Rui is mentioned, the mood of the husband and wife is always a little dull. Neither of them wanted to mention it too much, so they quickly changed the subject.

……

A few days later, the Divine Guard also arrived at the border.

The successive arrival of reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the border troops. Ping Xibo's father and son were both brave and good at fighting, and personally led their troops into battle to kill the enemy, and soon fought a great victory and recaptured a border city.

When the news of the victory came, the crowd rejoiced.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. Soon, the Tibetan Turks also received reinforcements one after another, and the fighting was extremely fierce. The number of injuries on the battle report sent by the border gate is also extremely alarming.

At the same time, after the border army captured the prisoners, they no longer beheaded them, but tortured Xiao Rui's whereabouts.

Ordinary soldiers and low-level generals don't know the name Xiao Rui at all.

It wasn't until a month later that Gu Bai personally led his troops into battle and captured a high-ranking general in the Tibetan army. Under severe torture and interrogation, this military general could not survive the punishment and finally confided the truth.

Xiao Rui was indeed hiding in the army of Tibet.

It's just that he rarely appears in front of people and is very low-key. He has no official position and no office. Stay in the Chinese military tent on weekdays and play the role of a military advisor. Only dozens of high-ranking generals knew of his existence.

And the chief general of Tubo who attacked with the Turkic coalition army this time was the prince of Tubo.

When the news reached everyone's ears, everyone was not surprised and stunned, but had the feeling of "it was really so".

Xiao Xu looked at the battle report, and anger ignited in his eyes.

No amount of speculation is as good as this exact news!

Xiao Rui, how can you do this?!

The descendants of the Xiao family compete for the country, become the king and defeat the king, and there is no need to complain. But you shouldn't have joined forces with Leyang to lure foreign enemies into the customs and invade Daqin!

After he died, when he went underground, what face did you have to face the ancestors of the Xiao family?

The anger of the Son of Heaven was so obvious that the ministers did not dare to add fuel to the fire at this time.

However, Gu Hai, because Xiao Rui was quite implicated in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, took the initiative to open his mouth and admonish: "Xiao Rui, a traitor, is unwilling to show his face in front of people, and has been hiding in the place of the Chinese army. Unless the enemy army is completely repulsed, it is really not easy to kill this traitor. ”

"I think it can be a two-pronged approach. While ordering someone to assassinate Xiao Rui, he sent a letter to the Tibetan Turks and ordered them to hand over Xiao Rui. As long as they are willing to agree, they can make peace. ”

Of course, the enemy army will not hand over easily. Especially the prince of Tubo, since he trusted Xiao Rui so much, he would not easily return him to Great Qin. However, the Turks did not necessarily think so. If they can bring back a large amount of gold, silver, money and food, the Turks, who have suffered countless casualties, may have the intention of retreating.

After all, the Tibetan Turks are only coalition forces, and they may not be completely single-minded.

Daqin's attitude will bring great pressure to Xiao Rui. It may create a rift between the Tibetan Turks. There will also be opportunities in the future.

Xiao Xu nodded in agreement: "Quasi-Gu Shangshu!"

……

Dingbei Hou Mansion.

After Gu Hai returned home, he told Mrs. Tai about today's court.

After listening to Gu Hai's words, Mrs. Tai's blood surged, and the green tendons on her forehead were exposed: "This bastard thing! Even if you can't win the country, you can't join the enemy army, turn your head to kill the Great Qin generals, and help that group of uncivilized barbarians to seize the Great Qin country!"

"It's a big rebellion! Even if you cut him with a thousand knives, you won't be angry!"

Seeing that Mrs. Tai's face was so red with anger that sparks appeared in her eyes, Gu Hai didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly held Mrs. Tai's arm: "Mother calm down first, don't be impatient!"

How is it possible to be calm?

How can you be at ease?

King Qi is her son-in-law, Lord Leyang is her granddaughter, and Xiao Rui is the grandson she has been loving since she was a child!

The King of Qi rebelled, and although the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was not implicated, it was also a piece of her heart.

Now Xiao Rui actually threw himself into the enemy army, secretly giving advice to the Tubo people, to attack the border city and invade Daqin...... It's one thing to have a civil war in your own family, but it's another thing to go to the enemy.

Mrs. Tai's lips trembled, her face quietly turned white, and her eyes turned black.

"Mother!"

Gu Hai shouted in shock, grabbed Mrs. Tai's arm tightly, and prevented her from fainting completely: "Come on, invite Dr. Li to come immediately." ”
