After hearing the order, the guards in the palace came out and took off a suit of armor for Su Bai, and the wound between Su Bai's neck that had not yet healed was exposed.

This is the scar left for the country, this is glory, and you can't cry! The two of them have been comforting themselves like this.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, Su Bai returned to the living room with the support of Zhao Yue'er, the old man had to let Su Bai tell him about the battlefield, and wanted to know if his grandson had suffered a loss.

Wang Xing and Erniu didn't need to say much, they were even more curious, and Su Bai couldn't refute the interest of these people. I picked out a few relatively interesting things and said them, wanting to make them happy.

As a result, the old man said directly: "You don't have to take out these things to prevaricate your grandfather, talk about some dry goods!" ”

Su Bai was a little embarrassed, so he could only tell the story of his capture of Jieli Khan, and as soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations outside the door! Only then did Su Bai know that there were so many people listening to the corner outside the door, no wonder it was winter, the old man didn't let himself close the door, it turned out that he was waiting here.

talked until it was almost early in the morning, the old man couldn't bear it first, Su Bai respectfully sent the old man back to the room, and the grandmother complained about him, saying that she wouldn't let her grandson rest well or something.

Wang Xing and Wang Erniu naturally didn't let Su Bai continue to speak, Su Bai yawned and returned to the room, Zhao Yue'er had already fallen asleep, quiet as a kitten, Su Bai quietly took off his clothes and lay on the bed, trying not to wake Zhao Yue'er as much as possible. Fastest update on PC:/

She should be very tired these days, Su Bai's action of going to bed did not wake her up, Su Bai also breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and planned to sleep, a small hand was on his chest, and then a small head was easily drilled into his arms.

He rubbed his chest, as if he was a kitten, declaring his sovereignty. Su Bai stretched out his hand and gently wrapped his arms around the shoulders of the person in his arms, and he didn't say anything all night.

......

The next day, when the lord came back, the news spread all over Juxian County, and suddenly Manbun Mountain was once again crowded with people! Every family came to visit with gifts, and the old man was so happy that he simply waved his hand, and promised to go out for another three days, and suddenly the cheers became even higher-pitched.

Su Bai didn't come out with them, he was receiving a distinguished guest! Wang Xi is here!

When Su Bai woke up in the morning and went to wash, he found that Wang Xi was beside him, and to be honest, he was really scared at that time. After inquiring, I found out that after Su Bai left that day, Wang Xi had been by his side, including when Su Bai was taking a bath in the East Palace! Starting

Li Shimin was afraid that those people would assassinate Su Bai for the second time, so he specially asked Wang Xi to come over to protect Su Bai. At the same time, Wang Xi also told Su Bai Li Shimin's punishment of Li Tai, and Li Taijue was cut by one level, and he directly changed from a prince to a county king! When you enter the palace in the future, you need to ask the emperor to do it, which can be described as ruthless! Especially when this kind of prince is competing for succession, many people are wondering, is this a signal from Li Shimin to them? Is the prince favored again?

No one can figure it out, or if they do, aren't they Li Shimin?

Wang Xi asked, "Boy, do you know why Your Majesty asked you to come back early?" Su Bai nodded and said, "Didn't Your Majesty just say it before, do you want me to tell him how to capture Jieli Khan alive?" ”

Speaking of this, Su Bai's brows furrowed again, yes, since he summoned himself back to listen to the story, then this matter must not be hidden from others, or it is already a semi-public matter, so what is the point of the emperor saying to himself, let yourself hide it, and wait until Li Jing comes back?

For a moment, Su Bai was a little confused again, the emperor's heart was unpredictable, let alone such an emperor as Li Shimin!

Wang Xi looked at Su Bai and frowned, and chuckled: "The old man told you clearly, the reason why I let you come back is to protect you!" Su Bai was a little surprised when he heard this, protect himself? What do you have to protect? Could it be that Li Tai assassinated him, so he wanted to protect himself?

Wang Xi shook his head and said, "Do you know how the prince is lame?" Su Bai nodded and said: "I read it in the letter, it said that after falling from a horse, he was trampled by a horse", Wang Xi nodded, and then shook his head and said: "This is not just a coincidence!" ”

When Su Bai heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed, there was a lot of information in this answer! What does it mean to be more than just a coincidence? Could it be that there is still a driving force behind this matter? Who will it be? King of Wei?

Wang Xi reached into his arms, took out a small brocade handkerchief in it, and gently handed it to Su Bai. Su Bai took it and looked at it, and saw that this brocade was embroidered with a somewhat strange pattern, as if it was a hand holding a ball in his hand.

Su Bai looked left and right twice, and handed it to Wang Xi without understanding and asked, "What does this mean?" ”。 Wang Xi's face became serious and said, "After the prince had an accident before, His Majesty ordered me to investigate thoroughly!" This is what I found in my research, and they are a very tight organization! The prince's affairs are inseparable from them! What makes His Majesty even more unsettling is that they also have a lot of eyeliner in the palace! When Wang Xi said this, he paused obviously, and then continued: "Even, even Xuanweizhong has discovered their dark line!" ”

Su Bai frowned and said, "But what does this have to do with me?" I'm just an idle lord with no real power, what can I help you? Wang Xi pointed to Na Jinpa and said: "They didn't just attack the prince, after investigation, we found that many assassinations were related to them, and their purpose was also very clear!" The assassins are all young talents like the lord who serve the country and the people! The assassination of the prince this time may also be an attempt to plunge my Tang Dynasty into chaos! ”

When Su Bai heard this, his eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help asking, "What good is it for them to do this?" Wang Xi chuckled and said, "Is there anything more beneficial than Jiangshan?" ”

Su Bai was shocked! What kind of person is he who intends to take away the country in the hands of Li Shimin?

Su Bai has an object of suspicion, and that is the family! The so-called there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family, take the current Tang Dynasty as an example, among the people who are officials in the court, how many people from the family? Almost ninety percent! This is also because the imperial examination system was established during the Sui Dynasty!

Otherwise, they were 100% officials in the family before! With the accumulation of this year by year, how terrible will the power of the family be?

Wasn't Li Shimin one of them before, only because he chose the right time to get the world, and those families may not have any ideas? If Datang is in chaos, then who will get the most benefits? Family!

Seeing Su Bai's expression change from doubt to confusion, from confusion to affirmation, Wang Xi knew that Su Bai might have a goal, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this son is not a loss of His Majesty's personal gift of the word Wenqu! Sure enough, it's very smart!

Wang Xi continued: "Your Majesty means that this matter is going to be handed over to you to do", Su Bai couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it: "Me? ”

"That's right! Your Majesty said that you are talented, intelligent, witty, and an upstart in the court, and have nothing to do with those families, so it is only fitting that this matter is entrusted to you! ”

Su Bai was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say: "But I'm a little baron, and my official rank is only five grades, what can I do?" Besides, Master, you have a Xuanwei in your hand, what can escape your ears and eyes in the world? Wouldn't it be right for you to do this! ”

Wang Xi shook his head and said: "Since Xuanwei has been infiltrated, then it is no longer safe, and Xuanwei cannot reach the point of being the eyes and ears of the world, there are still many places where Xuanwei cannot penetrate." The reason why Your Majesty chose you, Bai Yulou also has a lot to do with it, Bai Yulou's growth rate is very fast, I believe that it will not take five years to reach the current level of Xuanwei, this matter is not handed over to you, to whom? ”

Su Bai really didn't want to take this order, it was a family! As an upstart, what capital can you wrestle with them? Don't talk about yourself, even if you add Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong, it's for nothing!

Su Bai probed and said: "These are all secret powers, on the surface I am just a baron after all, why move other people's behemoths!" Besides, even an upstart like me can establish Baiyulou, can't those families have been drinking the northwest wind all these years? ”

Although he couldn't understand Su Bai's last sentence, Wang Xi could still barely understand the general meaning, and he could see that Su Bai obviously didn't want to take this hot potato, so he couldn't help but say: "This mission was directly issued by His Majesty, and it doesn't mean that you can't refuse, but have you thought about what will happen after you refuse?" ”

Su Bai was stunned, and then couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, yes! Why are you so naïve, and you still want to refuse Li Shimin's order? Is it crooked?

Wang Xi continued: "When Wei Guogong comes back this time, it will naturally be indispensable for your reward!" I believe that the old man, this reward will definitely satisfy you! Even His Majesty has personally written a letter to Wei Guogong a few days ago, and he wants to put most of the credit on you! Do you know how much favor Your Majesty has used? "The starters

Su Bai is a little difficult to ride a tiger now, His Majesty has used such a great favor to fight for benefits for himself, can he still refuse? After thinking about it, Su Bai came up with the answer, the reason why he has been smooth sailing now is because most of it has to do with Li Shimin's favor! You can lose anything, but you can't lose your grace!

Su Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" I took this task, do you have any other instructions from Your Majesty? Wang Xi smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty has three requirements, the first is that Your Majesty must know the answer before the end of this year, which family has such courage!" The second point is that this matter is just your Wang Chouniu's private matter, if it is exposed, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty! The third point is that the princes cannot participate! ”

Su Bai was a little confused again, he could understand the first two, but what did the third one mean? Don't let the princes get involved, but the princes are only familiar with Li Chengqian, why do you want to say a word about the princes?

These days, Su Bai obviously feels that his IQ is a little insufficient, but unfortunately he can't find any medicine that can improve his IQ in the prestige mall, otherwise he would have to buy two bottles to eat!

The quietness in the house was in strong contrast with the hustle and bustle outside for a while, Wang Xi was not in a hurry, took two sips of the teacup, and looked at Su Bai who was thinking opposite from time to time.

After a long time, Su Bai opened his eyes and said unusually calmly: "Master, go and tell Your Majesty, I agreed to this matter!" Only then did Wang Xi leak a smile and laugh softly: "So good!" ”

After saying that, he put down the teacup lightly, and walked out, Su Bai hurriedly got up, planning to send Wang Xi out, Wang Xi said unhurriedly: "Don't come out, it would be bad if you let this group of people surround you"

Su Bai chuckled and said: "Master doesn't need to worry, the people of my county are simple, and there will be no accidents", Wang Xi just chuckled and didn't speak, and walked back and forth, just when he passed the first corner, Wang Xi's figure disappeared......

Wang Lang walked in from outside the door at this time, and after seeing Su Bai, he walked quickly to Su Bai and said, "Sir, Han Laohu asked me for two hundred taels of silver, saying that he wanted to take his brothers to be happy, and I have already given the silver."

Su Bai nodded and said: "This is what I ordered to go down before, those boys are all suffocated, two hundred taels of silver may not be enough, you quickly send someone to catch up with them, and give them three hundred taels of silver, you have to have fun!" ”

Wang Lang couldn't help but speak, although it was said that the Wang family had a big business, but taking five hundred taels to let the next person visit the Qinglou, isn't it a bit extravagant! Of course, he didn't dare to say these words to the outside, and the lord was not a person who liked to talk too much.

Su Bai continued to instruct: "Go and find all the bricklayers in Ju County for me, and build a house for each of these brothers at the foot of the mountain!" Three-bedroom, two-living room! I'll give you the drawings in a while, and in the future, their families and children will go to school and seek medical treatment for free! ”

Wang Lang was stunned again, the lord is really generous! This is a thousand dollars to buy horse bones! With the lord in front of you, are you afraid that no one will come to vote?

While speaking, Su Bai also pushed the door and walked out, the courtyard was already full of people, the people accounted for more than half of it, and some cooks and men were busy working to prepare a flowing water banquet for a while. Many people also saw Su Bai, and instantly blocked the water around Su Bai's body!

"Lord, what do the Turks look like? The villain heard that they are all blue-haired, red-faced, and blue-eyed, is it true? ”

"Sir, how many Turks did you kill on the battlefield this time!"

"Sir, you can count it back, don't you know, my mother goes to the Buddha Hall every day to pray for you."

"Ergouzi, who doesn't know that your mother is going to the Buddha Hall to ask for marriage for you! How can it get into your mouth to pray for the lord's blessing? ”

There is no one in Juxian County who does not know Su Bai, and they all know that Su Bai is kind, and he always likes to talk more in front of him, and Su Bai also sincerely likes this atmosphere. Su Bai smiled like a little sun, and it felt good to go home......
