"So what?"

Yang Ying smiled coldly and responded confidently: "I can marry a husband casually, and then let Li Erlang be my outer lover." ”

Ashina Minghui couldn't help but lose her voice and looked at Yang Ying dumbfounded. After a long time, she sneered, "Who taught you this?"

Yang Ying frowned, she sensitively sensed Ashina Minghui's mockery, and suddenly felt empty in her heart: "I heard that Liu Chuyu, the former princess of Liu Song's Shanyin, raised more than thirty noodles. and in the Wei and Zhou dynasties of the previous dynasty, after those princesses got married, they also frolicked and fought with their mistresses. I only have Erlang and him, can't I?"

But this is what Yang Ying heard from a few slaves who wanted to please her, whether it could be done or not, Yang Ying actually didn't know.

She is here at her age, and she really doesn't know much about men and women.

"The person who taught you these words should really be killed on the spot! The little princess is not afraid that I will tell her highness the queen about these words?"

Ashina Minghui saw that Yang Ying changed color slightly after hearing this, subconsciously covered her mouth, and immediately shook her head again: "You are quite righteous? Don't worry, I'm too lazy to care about your affairs." But Ying'er, if you believe me, you can quickly drive these people out of the palace, or punish them severely, they don't want you to learn well. As for what you said, letting Li Erlang be your lover is too much to take for granted. Ying'er, although you are interested, he may not be willing to have anything to do with other people's wives—"

Yang Ying looked puzzled: "Why not? I will never let my future husband touch me." ”

"I'm not talking about this"

Ashina Minghui continued to shake his head: "I see that he is dignified, with good eyebrows and eyes, he must be a righteous man and gentleman who lives in an evil house, but I am afraid that he will not do such an evil thing of a bad person's marriage and taking away the son." ”

When she finished saying this, Yang Ying's willow eyebrows were already completely knotted. Ashina Minghui smiled a little proudly: "If you don't believe it, ask others to make it clear, I won't lie to you." In short, Ying'er, if you want to be with him, it will be enough to get a headache. ”

After that, she waved her sleeves and walked away calmly. Only Yang Ying was left in place, deep in thought with a sad face.

Almost at the same time, in the underground hall somewhere in the mountain, the young man in red walked in from a passage,

At this time, the old man in the mask did not stay on the altar, but sat upright in a stone platform extending from the cliff beside him.

When he sensed the footsteps of the young man in red, he immediately woke up, and then looked down with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"What happened, in such a hurry?"

"Your Excellency, there's bad news. ”

There was no blood on the face of the red-clothed young man behind the mask: "The news came from outside the city, Zhu Cang's cargo ship was robbed and killed, led by the Tota Heavenly King Tie Shenzhu, a total of one hundred and sixty-four people, all of whom were slaughtered. ”

When his words fell, the atmosphere in this underground stone hall would have been a few points colder.

The old man in the mask had eyes as cold as ice: "Then what do we want?" Also, why is there no news until now?"

"Their ship was discovered by Zhang Xutuo's subordinates in the early hours of this morning, and then the embroidered guards intervened as soon as possible. But it didn't happen to be our manpower, so it wasn't until a short time ago that no one knew the details. ”

The young man in red also said in a cold voice: "As for those slaves, they survived. However, the surrounding government has intervened, and in the end, no matter what happens to these people, it is estimated that we have nothing to do with it. In addition, in addition—"

When he said this, his eyes were a little hesitant, and his tone became slurred.

"Besides, what?" the masked old man snorted softly, "If there's any bad news, you can tell it together,"

"In addition, Wang Chonggu has ordered to strictly investigate the plundering and selling of all large shares around Luoyang City. Now, it is estimated that it is difficult to find a large number of sources. ”

Before the young man in red finished speaking, he found that the stone platform around the old man in the mask suddenly had a slight crack, and finally collapsed.

The old man himself was fine, and his body fell like a feather.

"It is also expected that Wang Chonggu is not an incompetent person, if he can't detect the clues, how can he step on Sikong Wuji and climb to the position of embroidered ambassador? ”

The young man in red secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to speak out before, because he was worried about being angry with the old man. At this time, although the latter was very angry, he did not blame him, and finally put the hanging heart back into his chest.

"Throne, did you say that this incident was done by the embroidered guard? Two days ago, the death of Gu Chengyun and Sima Jianqiu, I don't feel ordinary. If it's the same person who did it, then they probably already know something. ”

"Embroidered clothes, it's unlikely. If it were them, we would have gotten a little bit of rumor, and these court eagle dogs would not be so sneaky. ”

The old man in the mask shook his head: "It's about Gu Chengyun and Sima Jianqiu, what you said is very reasonable." In Luoyang City, there is obviously a force of people who are fighting against us. Tell the dragon minister and let him rule over the dragons, the three tribes of Kinnara and Maharaja, and let them investigate the matter in detail. I'm going to give them two weeks to get these people out. ”

"Yes!"

After the young man in red agreed, he suggested again: "In my opinion, you might as well start with Zhang Xutuo's generals." It is said that when they arrived, the blood on the ship was still dry, and it is possible that they had been in contact with the murderer. ”

"It's a dragon thing, and it has nothing to do with you—"

The masked old man said as he looked at the altar in the distance: "The top priority is to find more human pillars. ”

"That's the hardest thing to do. ”

The young man in red said helplessly: "Even if I do my best to buy it from the black market." Coupled with the small number of slaves provided around, it is difficult to gather 3,000 in a month. ”

He knew that this time, if he couldn't collect the blood sacrifice of 3,000 people within a month, what this Venerable had to do would be a failure.

That also means that their efforts for more than a year will be in vain.

The old man in the mask didn't think twice: "You ask Zhu Cang to prepare another batch of goods as soon as possible." It is best to send it to the Eastern Capital within 20 days. ”

"Or Zhu Cang, but after this incident, most of the embroidered guards will keep an eye on him. I don't think he may be willing to offend the court. ”

The young man in red was puzzled: "And even if the goods are delivered, I'm afraid they won't be able to be transported here." Xiuyiwei and Si Litai, Henan County, will strictly investigate this matter. ”

"Zhu Cang, this person will be revenged, this time he has suffered such a big loss, only if he does not think of revenge? This batch of goods can be used as bait. As for the embroidered guard, he may not dare to touch him at this time. Anyway, you just do it first, and if he doesn't agree, then find another solution. ”

The old man in the mask sneered, his eyes cold: "As long as this batch of goods arrives near Luoyang, I naturally have a way to make them have no time to take care of him." ”

Li Shimin returned to the Tang State Mansion at the time of the unitary time, and the mansion happened to have dinner at this time. It was still the same as before, Li Yuan and the Dou family, as well as all the male members of the Li family, were at the same table. The rest of the concubines and underage concubines will open another table.

Li Shimin sometimes admires his mother, his father Li Yuan is also a lustful person, and he has several concubines at home. But it wasn't until after Li Yuanji that a male was born.

seems to be his fifth brother Li Zhiyun, who is still less than ten years old. Before that, all the people born in Li Yuan's concubine were girls.

And when Li Shimin stepped into the hall, he had a big surprise: "Seventh brother, when did you enter Beijing?"

At this time, sitting on Li Yuan's right hand was his cousin Li Xiaogong, whose nickname was very powerful. Among their cousins, they are ranked seventh.

His ancestor Li Wei was the governor of Shuozhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the uncle of Li Shimin, while his father Li An was the general of the right leading army in the Kaihuang period, the Duke of Zhao County.

His cousin was deeply loved by the first emperor because of his beautiful posture and good riding and archery, and he was first awarded the title of Inner History Shilang, transferred to Shangshu Zuocheng, Huangmen Shilang and other positions, and then Yang Susima, the head of the marching army, and made great contributions in the battle to destroy Chen.

At that time, his father Li Yuan was still young and unable to support the court. It is all because of this, their martial arts Li clan did not sink like another Xiangping Li clan of one of the Eight Pillars in the Kaihuang period.

And Li Xiaogong himself is the only person Li Shimin admires among the many cousins of the martial arts Li family. In the past few years, he was frustrated at home, but thanks to Li Xiaogong's comfort and urging teaching, he did not completely abandon the art of war and martial arts.

However, this place that Li Shimin respects is not just character. Li Xiaogong's intelligence and martial arts are also the best among his peers.

Li Xuanba had already cultivated four grades at the age of thirteen, but Li Xiaogong was not far behind, and at the age of fourteen, he also proved four grades. Now more than 20 years old, he is already a brave warrior of the second grade.

- This is not like Li Shimin, who is purely piled up with pills, but a real skill that he has cultivated.

As for the art of war, Li Xiaogong is the only one who can talk about soldiers with Li Shimin, and he has contacts and contacts.

And this one is in the border army, he is also a great success, a powerful frontier, and at a young age, he is already the deputy of the town of Zhengwupin.

Li Shimin thought to himself, no wonder, Li Yuan would be in a hurry to let him go home. This was indeed a distinguished guest, and his father probably knew that the two cousins had a good relationship.

But isn't this one just promoted to the deputy general of Shangzhen less than half a year ago?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved slightly, and he had already woken up to Li Xiaogong's intention.

"Brother is in the eastern capital today. ”

Li Xiaogong also smiled on his face: "I can't say it this time, but I have to use the help of Pilu to cover you." ”
