April 18 was Lu Xiu's birthday, and Lu Xiu sent an invitation. As long as the lady of Ho Castle can be counted, they have all received her invitations. Of course, it's not that Lu Xiu wants to be public, but that she has been dealing with the ladies of Ho City all these years. The news she found out would eventually reach Yuxi's ears.

Yuxi also received the post, but she didn't have time to attend Lu Xiu's birthday banquet, so she only instructed Qu's mother to back up the generous gifts.

Early that morning, Liu Er was in the house to choose clothes. This one is not satisfied, and that one is not satisfactory. After choosing a small day for a long time, I finally chose an apricot yellow woven gold undergarment, with a goose yellow pleated skirt and a cloud bun. A red dripping bead crested gold step was inserted into the bun, and a pearl tassel the size of a grain of rice hung down from the step.

Toss until the sun is hanging high, and Liu Er is good. After freshening up, Liu Er went over to see Yuxi.

Yuxi looked at Liu Er and felt that there was a feeling that my family had a girl who had just grown up. Yuxi smiled and said two words: "Good-looking." ”

Liu Er said with some regret: "It's a pity that the eldest sister doesn't go." "She met two girls at a banquet before, and she felt quite chatty. Liu Er was already thinking about inviting them to the palace as guests.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Your eldest sister is not interested in the banquet, so you don't need to force her." "If it's Qiu's birthday, she and her children are going to pass. As for the Lu family, because it is not a whole life, it is okay if people don't pay tribute.

In the morning, Xu Wu opened the curtain and walked into the study without making sense, and said excitedly: "Princess, there is news from Tanzhou that Yu Wenhe is dead. ”

Yuxi looked up at Xu Wu and asked, "Yuwenhe is dead, what are you doing so excited?"

Every time Xu Wu faced Yuxi, who was in front of Taishan and did not change his face, he was ashamed of himself: "I just didn't expect that the Li clan could really kill Yuwenhe." Xu Wu also made a common mistake that men make, that is, they underestimate women too much.

Yuxi shook his head and said: "The Li family has been in business for many years and the head of the Li family is helping, plus they are in the shadows, it is not difficult to design to kill Yuwenhe. If we send a killer to kill him, it will be difficult to succeed. "This is called easy to dodge with open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows.

Xu Wu sighed and said, "Yuwenhe has a sweetheart named Xue Yao. The Li family bribed the personal maid next to Miss Xue Yao, and took advantage of the two to be dating, and put the poison in Yuwenhe's tea. Yu Wenhe never dreamed that the tea brought to him by his sweetheart would have a deadly poison.

After speaking, Xu Wu said with a bad feeling: "A hero on the battlefield, who would have thought that he would die in the hands of a woman in the back house in the end." "Such a character, dying on the battlefield is his glory.

Yuxi shook his head lightly and said, "Don't underestimate women. "Once this woman is ruthless, the man will be terrified.

When Xu Wu heard this, he said, "I have never underestimated a woman. "Talking about underestimating women, but not including Yuxi, he doesn't have the guts.

How did the Li family kill Yuwenhe, Yuxi was not interested in knowing. Yuxi is more concerned about what happened after Yuwenhe died: "Yuwen Nanqing knows what kind of attitude Yuwenhe has after he died?"

Xu Wu said: "Yuwen Nanqing is very angry, but the poison was provided to that maid by us, and the Li family did not touch it. Yuwen Nanqing couldn't find evidence, the Li family had the support of the Li family, and he couldn't do anything about the Li family. ”

Yuxi said: "I don't know if Xu Zhen has sent troops to attack Tanzhou now?" Yuwenhe died, and this was the time when their morale was at its lowest. If Xu Zhen was astute, he should have already attacked the city at this time.

Xu Wu understood what Yuxi meant, and said, "Xu Zhen and Yu Cong got the news, and they should attack Tanzhou." "Fighters are fleeting, so the generals can also decide for themselves according to the actual situation.

Yuxi nodded.

Xu Wu hesitated and said something to Yuxi: "Princess, last time the prince read the letter you wrote, his face was ugly for several days. Originally, Xu Wu wanted to hide it from Yuxi, but he weighed it in his heart for a long time and felt that Yuxi still knew about it.

Yuxi hummed and said, "I know." "Normally, Yunqing would reply soon after receiving her letter, but that time Yunqing's letter was a day later than usual. At that time, Yuxi knew that Yunqing did not approve of her plan in her heart. In the end, he did not object because of his identity, as the commander of the whole army, he has to be responsible for every soldier.

Xu Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Princess, let's explain this matter to the prince!" However, even if he didn't object, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, and Xu Wu was worried that not explaining would estranged the two.

Yuxi shook his head and said: "I can't say a word or two about this kind of thing, I'll explain it to him when he comes back." After a pause, Yuxi said: "Who doesn't want to be a fair and honest person, but if the price is countless lives, then I would rather be a villain." ”

Xu Wu said sincerely: "The princess is righteous. ”

As he was talking, an excerpt was delivered in Shanxi. Seeing this, Xu Wu immediately retreated. After waiting outside for a while, he finally turned around and went to find Huo Changqing.

In the past few years, Huo Changqing has not cared about anything other than teaching Zao Zao and Brother Hao. The affairs of Zhuangzi have all been handed over to Guo Xun.

Xu Wu relayed his conversation with Yuxi to Huo Changqing just now: "Father-in-law, the princess is also doing this for the soldiers ahead. Father-in-law, I don't want the prince to misunderstand the princess, so I think it's necessary to explain it to the prince. Because he understood, he was worried that Yunqing would misunderstand that Yuxi was a person who did not compromise on his means.

Huo Changqing's brows furrowed.

Xu Wu thought that Huo Changqing did not agree with this matter, and said: "Father-in-law, if we let Yuwenhe live, we will have to pay a heavy price if we capture Tanzhou." Father-in-law, I don't think the princess did anything wrong in this matter. "Without Yuwenhe, if they capture Tanzhou, their casualties will definitely be reduced.

Huo Changqing glanced at Xu Wu, and said with a dark face: "I'm not old and confused!" Killing a Yuwen Crane can burn tens of thousands of soldiers, how could he oppose this kind of thing!

Previously, Huo Changqing had been worried that Yuxi was too ambitious and would become the second martial artist. However, as the four brothers Hao Ge'er and Rui Ge'er grew better and better, he no longer had the same suspicion about Yuxi as before.

Xu Wu had a bit of flattery in his eyes: "Father-in-law, then you can write to the prince now and talk about this matter well!"

Huo Changqing said angrily: "Stinky boy, you actually played tricks on me. Xu Wu deliberately told him this, obviously wanting him to write a letter to Yunqing.

Xu Wu saw that his thoughts were seen through by Huo Changqing, and he was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I really don't want to meddle in this matter. You are an elder, so it would be more appropriate for you to come forward and explain. He was worried that the prince would misunderstand the princess, but this matter was at least a matter between husband and wife, and it would be counterproductive if he intervened. Huo Changqing came forward and said that he had no worries.

Huo Changqing said: "I have to think about this. ”

Xu Wu was a little puzzled and asked, "Father-in-law, what else is there to think about about this matter?"

Huo Changqing couldn't help but scolded: "You have stayed by Zao Zao Niang's side for so many years, why haven't you grown at all?" After scolding, Huo Changqing said: "This time, the problem is not with Zao Zao Niang, but on Yunqing. "To be a man is to have your own bottom line and principles. But as a person in power, you can no longer think about things according to your personal criteria, but you should consider the big picture. This point of jujube is very good, and Yunqing is much worse.

Xu Wu said: "The prince is also slowly changing!"

Huo Changqing said: "It's too slow. "The speed of change is too slow, and it can't keep up with the changes in the situation. Fortunately, Han adapted quickly, otherwise he would have been messed up a long time ago.

The news of Yu Wenhe's death reached the ears of Xu Zhen and Yu Cong, and the two immediately decided to attack Tanzhou. And Yunqing got the news two days later.

Gao Song saw Yun Qing's ugly face and asked, "Lord Wang, is it not going well with Xu Zhen?"

Yunqing shook his head and said, "No." Yu Wenhe died, and Xu Zhen and Yu Cong got the news and began to attack Tanzhou. ”

Gao Song was very surprised and asked, "Yuwenhe is dead, how is it possible?" He also talked to Yun Qing about this two days ago, and he also said that he might have to wait for them to defeat Qiantang and then send troops to support Xu Zhen before they could take Tanzhou.

Looking at Yun Qing's face, Gao Song suddenly understood: "Lord Wang, Yu Wenhe didn't die a normal death?" If it was a normal death, Yun Qing's face would not be so ugly.

Yun Qing was silent and said: "Yuwen He was poisoned, and the murderer is Yuwen Nanqing's current wife, Li. ”

Gao Song is not a fool, how could he believe this statement: "Tanzhou was saved by Yuwenhe, and the Li family will poison Yuwenhe at this time unless he has a brain disease." Lord Wang, this matter must be the inside story?"

Yun Qing said with a cold face: "Don't talk about this anymore. He also knew in his heart that Yuxi was not wrong to do this. However, as long as he thought that Yuwen He did not die on the battlefield but under the conspiracy, he felt uncomfortable.

Gao Song suddenly understood: "Lord Wang, the person behind the scenes is the princess, right?" Han Yuxi would use such a method, Gao Song was not surprised.

Yun Qing's face became more and more ugly, and he said with a cold face: "I don't want to hear this a second time. ”

Gao Song straightened his waist and said, "Lord Wang, even if you deal with me, I will say it." If you can't beat people, you can use this despicable means to get rid of them, if you let the world know how to look at the prince, how to look at our Northwest Army?" After a pause, Gao Song said: "The prince hates Yan Wushuang so much, because Yan Wushuang does not compromise the means to achieve the goal. But how is this behavior of the princess different from Yan Wushuang?" In Gao Song's eyes, Yuxi and Yan Wushuang are the same kind of people, and they are both the same vicious and ruthless.

When Yun Qing heard this, he shouted angrily, "Get out." "Although Gao Song's words are ugly, he can't be dealt with by military law because of two ugly words.

Gao Song looked at the angry Yunqing, and he was also timid in his heart, and hurriedly retreated.

Si Bonian heard a noise outside, and asked Gao Song who came out in the courtyard: "What's the matter, let the prince make such a big fire?"

Yunqing didn't want others to know about this, but Gao Song didn't think so: "The princess poisoned Yuwenhe, and when I said a few words, the prince was furious." ”

Si Bonian's eyes flashed, and he asked, "I don't know what General Gao said?"

Gao Song said: "If you use such means to get rid of Yuwenhe, even if you occupy Tanzhou, you won't be able to win." ”

Si Bonian sneered in his heart and said, "According to the general, that is a soldier who would rather die and wound more than 180,000 soldiers, and do not agree with the princess's approach?"

Gao Song heard that this was not right, and said with a cold face: "Don't distort what I mean. If he agreed, wouldn't it show that he didn't care about the lives of the soldiers?

Si Bonian said: "Yuwenhe is our mortal enemy, and his death to us is only good and not harmful. "As for how he died, it doesn't matter at all.

Gao Song felt that Si Bonian was also bewitched by Yuxi, he didn't bother to say more, and left the coach's camp with a black face.

Si Bonian thought for a while, walked into the room and said to Yunqing: "Lord Wang, General Gao told me about what happened just now. Lord, to put it mildly, I don't think it's wrong for the princess to do this. "Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, as long as the method is useful, it will be done.

Yun Qing's face was even more ugly, he didn't want outsiders to know about this, but Gao Song seemed to want everyone in the world to know. Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Yun Qing said: "I didn't say that the princess was wrong in doing this. "If Yuwenhe dies, he can save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and normal people know how to do it.

Si Bonian thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Originally, he didn't want to talk about it, but Gao Song's attitude today made him worried.

Yunqing said: "There is nothing to be improperly done, just say it if you have something to say." ”

Si Bonian said: "Lord Wang, General Gao seems to be very dissatisfied with the princess, I think this is very dangerous. ”

The reason why the northwest can develop so rapidly is because the prince and the princess are of the same mind. If Gao Song always speaks ill of the princess, the prince will inevitably be affected after a long time. Once the prince and the princess have a disagreement, it will be bad at that time.

Yun Qing really didn't know about this, and no one had mentioned it in front of him, Si Bonian was the first: "Gao Song is very dissatisfied with the princess?

Si Bonian had a general relationship with Gao Song, otherwise he wouldn't have told Yunqing about it. Si Bonian said: "General Gao thinks that women should teach their husbands and children in the backyard, and the princess is in charge of government affairs, which makes General Gao feel that this is Si Chen." "After following Yunqing for so many years, Si Bonian is very clear about Yunqing's ability. It was precisely because of this that he knew how serious the consequences would be if Yunqing couldn't work together with Yuxi.

Yun Qing snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect him to have such a big opinion about the princess." In fact, from today's words, he knew that Gao Song had a lot of opinions about Yuxi. No matter how tolerant he is to his subordinates, he can't tolerate Gao Song's attitude towards Yuxi.

When Si Bonian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The prince was dissatisfied with Gao Song, and he was not worried that Gao Song would sow discord in the future.
