At the back door of Zhao Guogong's mansion, Li Xun and Hua Shaosheng walked out.

It's about to be time, and there is no night market in the place where Li Xun lives, and there are very few pastime places such as restaurants, so at this point in time, there are almost few pedestrians on the street.

Li Xun looked around, although the battle in the Western Regions achieved brilliant results, it was also sharp, which attracted the attention and attention of many people, especially the Yang clan and the Yiwang faction, I am afraid that they are extremely defensive and hostile to themselves, and around the mansion, there may be people from them who are secretly watching.

Hua Shaosheng knew Li Xun's concerns, and said in a low voice: "Wait a while, my lord, I have ordered someone to sweep away the dark sentries around." ”

Li Xun was silent, he recently had a big feast, it seemed that the scenery was infinite, extremely happy, but in fact, his heart was depressed and abnormal, when Xiaolian gave birth, because of dystocia, he almost died, although he was lucky to pass, but it was also a big loss of vitality, this has been for several months, most of the time is lying in bed, his body is weak, and the daughter he gave birth to is also weak, often feverish, crying nonstop.

As for parting with Zhu Zhengguo and others today, Li Xun knew that they were so angry because they cared about themselves, but Li Xun had no choice, there were some things that he couldn't say clearly, maybe he had experienced some things, or maybe the current situation was strange and unclear, one wrong step would fall into a place of no return, Li Xun had to be cautious, especially for Yan Yi, Yan Yi is now Yuwenzhen's fast son-in-law, and he is very trusted and reused by Prince Zhao Xun, a person, with the change of power and status, often changes, Li Xun is not sure whether Yan Yi has changed now, and whether he is still the same Yan Yi who can treat each other as a brother, so Li Xun does not dare to disclose many things casually.

But today, Yan Yi was heartbroken, persuaded Li Xun bitterly, lost his temper a lot, and said a lot of things that should not be said, in this regard, Li Xun not only did not get angry and blamed, but was greatly relieved, Yan Yi did not change anything, and he was still the same Yan Yi as before.

A middle-aged man dressed ordinarily and seemingly a pedestrian passed by the street, and when he walked past Li Xun, he nodded to Hua Shaosheng without a trace.

Hua Shaosheng got the signal, and then whispered to Li Xun: "Lord, the surroundings have been cleaned up and you can go." ”

Li Xun walked away, all the way, came to a crossroads, to the left is Zhu Zhengguo's home, to the right is Yan Yi's residence, standing here, Li Xun thought about it, and then walked to the right.

Yan Yi has a strong sense of self-esteem, after he married Yuwen Huayu, Yuwen Zhen once let him live at home, but Yan Yi refused, and still returned to his own land of one acre, and because Yan Yi's mother has always been simple and does not like publicity, so Yuwen Huayu lived in Yan Yi's home, that is, he brought two maids, a family of five, and there is not much difference from ordinary people.

When they arrived at Yan Yi's residence, Li Xun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman opened the door.

"General Li, why are you here?"

Li Xun smiled: "Yan Yi can be at home?" ”

The woman nodded: "I'm drinking with Brother Zhu." ”

With that, the woman stepped out of the way, and Li Xun stepped in.

"Is my aunt asleep?"

"The old lady has fallen asleep."

Li Xun casually asked about the situation at Yan Yi's house, and soon came to Yan Yi's room.

"Why don't you call me for drinking?"

Li Xun pushed open the door and said with a smile.

Li Xun's arrival was unexpected by Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi, Zhu Zhengguo got up and said with a smile: "Brother Dog, come and sit." ”

Li Xun walked over, sat down beside Yan Yi, raised his hand to put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yan Yi, are you still angry with me?" ”

Yan Yi snorted twice and did not speak.

"Okay, big man, don't look like a daughter."

Li Xun let go of Yan Yi, picked up the wine jug, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine, this wine has a bit of a palace taste, it was given by your father-in-law, right?"

Li Xun put down the flask and laughed.

Yan Yi looked at Li Xun at this time, and snorted and said, "Don't care who sent it, just have a good wine." ”

Zhu Zhengguo took the dishes and chopsticks for Li Xun, and then asked out loud: "Brother Gou'er, what's the matter with coming here so late?" ”

Li Xun smiled: "What else can I do, of course, I am looking for you to drink." ”

Yan Yi touched Li Xun with his arm: "I said Li Xun, this war in the Western Regions is indeed very beautiful, and the credit is huge, but it was exchanged for blood by thousands of soldiers, you Li Xun is just one of them, and it is not your credit alone, what do you have to show off, making such a big show is no longer publicity, but arrogance." ”

Yan Yi's character is like this, he goes straight to the point, he doesn't beat around the bush, and he will say whatever he wants.

Zhu Zhengguo also said: "Brother Gou'er, this is not your style of doing things, I remember that you returned to Beijing last year to report on your work, because the governance of the western part of Longyou is very effective, and the political achievements are remarkable, and the emperor has rewarded you a lot, but you are insistent and unacceptable, and you are humble and low-key internally and externally, this is less than a year, how can you become like this?" ”

Li Xun was silent.

Everyone has been brothers for many years, and they know their respective personalities and temperaments, Yan Yi's mind is simple, maybe he can't think of so much for a while, but Zhu Zhengguo is the oldest of the four brothers, his mind is much more mature than Yan Yi, Li Xun's recent abnormal behavior is obviously not out of nature, and he is even more silent in the face of his own inquiry, which makes Zhu Zhengguo immediately understand that Li Xun is so flamboyant, and he really has ulterior intentions.

Zhu Zhengguo got up and closed the door, returned to his seat, and whispered to Li Xun: "Brother Gou'er, there are no outsiders here, what can you say directly." ”

Li Xun was a little hesitant, Yan Yi saw this, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Li Xun, the three of us brothers have suffered from life and death, and we don't want to live together, but we want to die together, are you still afraid that Brother Zhu and I will betray you?" ”

Li Xun smiled bitterly twice and said silently: "The prince doesn't trust me. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yi and Zhu Zhengguo were both slightly stunned, Zhu Zhengguo immediately fell into contemplation, and Yan Yi shook his head and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, the prince's biological mother is your own aunt, with this relationship, how can the prince not trust you." ”

Zhu Zhengguo said softly: "But guard against the future? ”

Zhu Zhengguo somewhat understood, it is precisely because the prince's biological mother is Li Xun's aunt, once Zhao Xun ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, Li Xun will change, both the identity of a relative and a heavy soldier in hand, when the time comes, it will definitely be the power of the government and the opposition, and the queen mother is his aunt, such a situation, even if Zhao Xun is the emperor, I am afraid it is difficult to control, such a thing, Zhao Xun is obviously extremely unwilling to see it happen, so there are some things, Zhao Xun has to be prepared in advance.
