Yuwen Xiaoce's reputation in Ancheng County is not flawed, such a reputation cannot be bought, nor can it be threatened, it is his continuous efforts in Ancheng County in the past 20 years.

There is no doubt about the authenticity.

So Shen Leng really didn't want to doubt such a person, but he had to suspect that this was Shen Leng's weakness, and Shen Leng sometimes laughed at himself and said that he was a bad person.

Anseong County, Box Barracks.

Yuwen Xiaoce slowly walked in and glanced at Xue Cheng, who was still reading the military book sitting there, and bowed down: "General." ”

Xue Cheng smiled and said, "Why are you so polite between you and me? ”

"The general is still the same, after lunch, he will read these military books that I don't know how many times I have read, even if these books are written silently by the general, I'm afraid they will be word for word."

Xue Cheng smiled: "Writing backwards will be word for word." ”

He put down the military book: "I'm used to it, I've led the troops for many years, I don't dare to slack off, I don't dare to show cowardice, I just thought, if I discuss the military situation with my subordinates, my subordinates quote scriptures, but I don't know where the words come from, wouldn't I lose the face of the general of the Daning Jiazi Battalion, what is the Jiazi Battalion?" It is the face of the Son of Heaven, and the general of the Jiazi Battalion is the face of the Son of Heaven, and it cannot be compared with others, so I will carefully read all the military books I can see, so that no matter which sentence in the book I quote below, I can say it. ”

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "But the general is no longer the general of the Jiazi Battalion, and he will no longer discuss the military situation with his subordinates and practice the formation." ”

"Didn't I just say it, get used to it."

Xue Cheng said: "Some habits are carved into the bones. ”

He glanced at the military book, it was already yellowed, the pages were threaded with threads, and he didn't know how many times the threads had been changed.

"This book of sixteen strategies for the battle was given to me by His Majesty when I went to Chang'an, and the person who wrote this book of soldiers was Wei Wuxian, a famous general in the former dynasty and Chu."

He was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty said that Wei Wuxian was the mainstay of the Chu period, and Your Majesty gave me this book of war in the hope that I could also become the mainstay of Daning." ”

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "At that time, the general was indeed that there was a great general in Chang'an City, and the general in Gyeonggi Province was like a pillar of optimism. ”

Xue Cheng shook his head: "It's all over...... Everyone has a time when they are old, and I can't escape the years, Your Majesty still has the ambition of the past, but I am now old and dying...... In fact, speaking of which, I know His Majesty's intentions, he arranged for Yutai Caoye to come just to give me a decent and unblemished retreat, which is good. ”

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "The general knows everything, but he ...... it."

"What a terrible thing."

Xue Cheng lowered his head and looked at the book of war: "Your Majesty treats me as a grace of knowledge, and Empress Yang treats me as a life-saving grace, but I am not good at this point, and I dare not be ungrateful...... Empress Yang had expected that she would be in trouble a few years before her accident, so she sent me a letter in which she told me all the wealth hidden places of the Yang family in Gyeonggi Province, and asked for nothing more from me, but only for me to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

He looked at Yuwen Xiaoce: "Actually, you and I are the same people, if it weren't for you thinking that I saved you back then, you would have left a long time ago, with your talent, I'm afraid that the one in charge in the cabinet won't be Lai Cheng's turn." ”

Yuwen Xiaoce smiled: "The general laughed again, how can I have the talent to govern the world." ”

Xue Cheng asked: "These words have been said back and forth many times, you and I don't want to praise each other...... Why did you come to me? ”

"General, I may ...... exposed. Yuwen Xiaoce didn't change anything when he said this, his face was still calm, and he even had a slight smile.

"I came to tell the general, if something happens to me one day, the general must not act recklessly, no one can easily guess that the general is hiding here, as long as Shen Leng and Ye Liuyun are gone, the general will go out again, no one can do anything, after I have an accident, the general must remember to be patient, to be restrained, and never impulsive."

Xue Cheng's face turned pale when he heard these words: "What flaws did you reveal?" ”

"Not count."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "It's me who overlooked one thing. ”

"What is it? Is there a remedy? ”

"There's no remedy, it's a little late."

Yuwen Xiaoce walked over and poured Xue Cheng a cup of tea, and handed it to Xue Cheng with both hands: "General, sit down and listen to me, don't be excited, don't be nervous, and don't be afraid, listen to what I tell you." ”

Xue Cheng opened his mouth, finally nodded, and sat down with the cup of hot tea: "You say." ”

Yuwen Xiaoce sat down opposite Xue Cheng and slowed down, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and after a while, he smiled and said, "The general just asked me if there is any way to remedy it, and I thought about it, in fact, it is precisely because I am remedying it that it may be exposed." ”

"The general is doing it in the gentle drizzle building, I will help the general remedy the follow-up things, and by the way, I will get rid of those people in the Jiazi battalion who may endanger the general, it is very clean, and the line is broken perfectly."

Xue Cheng said: "Then why are you exposed?" ”

"Because I neglected...... Perfect. ”

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I thought that as long as I was cautious and meticulous enough to gamble on all the loopholes, Shen Leng and they would not be able to find anything, but just now Shen Leng came to me and talked to me about something, although it seems to be insignificant, but I am sure that Shen Leng is suspicious of me." ”

"It's ridiculous to say that they don't know who to suspect, so it can only be me...... Because the people in the entire Ancheng County know that I am meticulous, and they all know that I am used to arranging everything by myself, Shen Leng asked me something about the Jiazi Battalion, and I deliberately shifted the topic to how many military households there are in the county, but because of this, what I exposed was not what I did, but my ability, and it was not exposed now, it has been exposed, or that sentence, when they have no choice, then choose the person who is most like to doubt. ”

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I never thought that one day I would be suspected of doing things too perfectly. ”

Xue Cheng raised his hand violently and grabbed Yuwen Xiaoce's shoulder, his fingers were exerting force, so the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed.

"You must have a way! You're so smart, you're so thoughtful, you're so rigorous, you're going to think of a way, right?! ”

"General, don't be too anxious."

Yuwen Xiaoce said seriously: "From now on, the general will not do anything again, I will not sit still, I will do my best to protect myself, I have told the general before, I will not walk in front of the general, I also said that one day the general goes, your future affairs must be handled by me." ”

The two of them said in unison.

"I can't trust anyone else."

"You can't trust anyone else."

Yuwen Xiaoce laughed: "So the general just has to cultivate here, if I really can't bear it, I will find a way to solve it, in case ...... In case I go ahead of the general, my aftermath will be handed over to the general. ”

Xue Cheng shook his head violently: "I don't agree!" You are so much younger than me, how can you walk in front of me! ”

"The world is impermanent."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "General, don't be so stubborn, you don't like me to evaluate you like this, and you have been scolded for it, but you are really like this, this is your shortcoming, I actually have a more important thing to say this time...... General, give up supporting Li Changze to fight for the country, that's unrealistic, no one is Your Majesty's opponent, let alone Your Majesty is Your Majesty, with the power of the entire Daning, even if Your Majesty has as much as we have, we still can't win. ”

"I ......"

Xue Cheng opened his mouth, but the words behind him couldn't be spoken.

"Li Changze can't be a qualified emperor, he will take Daning downhill, this is not what the general wants to see, nor what I want to see, general, back then, because I was familiar with Jiangnan Dao, you asked me to arrange to hunt down Shen Xiaosong, and I agreed, because what I want to kill is just a person, and it has nothing to do with the court situation and the country."

Xue Cheng said: "I can't let you have an accident, just because I saved you at the beginning, you gave up your future and were willing to stay, so you stooped down in this Ancheng County to plan for me, you have paid too much for me." ”

"Don't think so, General."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "The grace of saving life should be repaid by the spring, when will it not be repaid?" When the spring water is dry, there is no way to report it. ”

He leaned over and bowed again: "Besides, the general doesn't have to be so guilty, if he is willing, why bother." ”

He turned around and went out: "It's just that if the general does something impulsive, so that I can't save myself with peace of mind, I will blame the general." ”

"Good, good."

Xue Cheng said eagerly: "I don't do anything, I don't care about anything, I just honestly cultivate here, I don't even go out." ”

Yuwen Xiaoce smiled and nodded: "That's the best." ”

After saying that, leave.

Xue Cheng looked at Yuwen Xiaoce's back and said to himself: "But if something really happens to you, even if I take me and the entire Gyeonggi Province and thousands of people, I will avenge you." ”

Anseong County, Tea House.

Shen Leng sat there sipping tea, but his expression was still a little fluctuating.

Lin Luoyu came in from outside, walked slowly to him and sat down, looked at the tangled face, didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"If only the right and wrong in this world were simple."

Shen Leng glanced at Lin Luoyu: "What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong." ”

Lin Luoyu asked: "Then how simple do you think right and wrong should be?" ”

"What is right, no one refutes, and what is wrong, no one has mercy."

Lin Luoyu said: "How ruthless should that person be? ”

Shen Leng nodded: "I know, I just feel a little embarrassed, so a person like me will probably never be able to become a qualified court lieutenant." ”

Lin Luoyu said: "Lord Han shouldn't be happy when he hears this...... If a hateful person does something that makes people feel honorable, is that person hateful or honorable? ”

Shen Leng: "You know? ”

Lin Luoyu sighed: "This Ancheng County is so big, there are only a few people who can doubt it, this is what they have ignored, the one who does things most perfectly may be the one who has done the most bad things, because he will be perfect even if he does bad things." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "I know, in fact, I don't think I'm worried about what to do with this person, I'm worried about what to do with this person, what the people of Ancheng County will do, they won't believe that Yuwen Xiaoce is a bad person." ”

"Sometimes."

Lin Luoyu said: "Legal power, you don't need the people to understand. ”

She said in a flat tone: "The people understand that love is not law, so you are really not suitable to be a court lieutenant." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "Then leave it to the Tingwei Mansion." ”

He stretched his arms: "After all, investigating the case is the business of the Tingwei Mansion, and I came mainly to dig up money." ”
