Because the entourage sent earlier successfully followed Xue Ne, Li Xian and his party quickly found Xue's house. To their surprise, from the outside, the house was not only not glamorous, but rather shabby.

Of course, Li Xian would not break in with a large group of people, and he left most of his entourage behind, while he stood at the entrance of the alley with Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu. As far as he knows, Xue Rengui is now General Zuo Wuwei, a man from Hedong County, although he is just a baron, he is always a high-ranking general, and there is no reason for his family to be so down.

"Rokuro, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"If you don't go, just find a place, it looks weird and tight, let's inquire clearly!"

After making such a decision, Li Xian took people back, parted ways with Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu on the road, and returned to the palace by himself. Early the next morning, he came to Li's house as usual, and before he could see Li Ji, he was pulled aside by Li Jingye, who came in a hurry.

"Do you know that something happened to Xue Rengui!"

Li Xian was taken aback by this sudden remark, and immediately asked nervously, "What happened to Xue Rengui?" ”

Li Jingye sighed, looked around for a while, and then said in a low voice: "After I went home yesterday, I asked people to inquire, no wonder that Xue Ne's appearance turned out to be an accident on Tiele's side." Xue Rengui's three arrows were true to Tianshan, but then he did something terrible. After the defeat on Tiele's side, more than 100,000 soldiers all surrendered, and as a result, Xue Rengui actually ordered the pit to kill the prisoners of war, and the matter had already reached the imperial court, and the ministers had already made a fuss! ”

Pit killing hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war!

Li Xian's mind was booming, he only knew that Xue Rengui was conquering the east and Xue Dingshan was conquering the west, and he knew that the father and son of the Xue family were famous, and he didn't know anything else. Good guy, at the beginning, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao Jun in the Battle of Changping, and now Xue Rengui actually killed more than 100,000 people at once? Thinking of the scene of a large number of living people being killed in the pit, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp for a while, and the expression on his face immediately changed.

"That's why I said that Xue Rengui got into big trouble." Li Jingye smacked his lips and showed a look of pity, "Otherwise, with his merits, he will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight after he comes back." This time it's good, don't talk about the credit, I'm afraid that I will be impeached by those people and disgraced. By the way, what are you going to do? ”

What to do?

Li Xian also asked himself in his heart, if he wants to put aside the meeting of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what is the problem of killing someone, when did Wei Qinghuo send troops to fight the Huns not to kill eight thousand, but now it is different! The cheap grandfather Li Shimin, whom he had never seen, was the Heavenly Khan respected by all ethnic groups, and his father Li Zhi was the son of the Heavenly Khan, so he still wanted this benevolent and righteous face. In other words, if there is such an act that undermines the general righteousness of national peace, Xue Rengui will be pushed out as a target.

"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention, it is also about Xue Rengui, no, it should be said that it is about the Western Expeditionary Army. After the victory of Tiele this time, the army plundered several tribes, from the generals to the soldiers, and robbed many women of various tribes, which scared away many tribes who originally intended to surrender, and the biggest goal of the western expedition was also defeated. If there is any extenuating circumstance about the killing of prisoners in the pit ahead, this matter is terrible. I also heard that it seems that the chapter of impeachment of many people has already been written, and is waiting for the return of the army to smash it. ”

All the troubles in this world have come together!

Of course, Li Xian knew that Li Jingye's so-called source of information must be Li Ji, and he had always felt very incomprehensible that this master had to like to pass around the bush to pass on this kind of news. At this time, he had a headache and wanted to arrest Li Ji, an old fox, and question him - as the veritable number one person in the military today, what is the matter with you letting go of everything?

Although he was secretly scolding his mother in his heart, it didn't mean that Li Xian really dared to do this, so after thinking about it again, after waiting for Cheng Bohu, he pulled the two of them and went straight to Xue's house. In order to avoid people's eyes, he didn't bring a single entourage, how could this Xue family be the Longtan Tiger's Den, besides, the two brushes of Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu were enough to face the ordinary little thieves.

The work of knocking on the door was naturally done by Cheng Bohu, and this one slammed it, Li Xian almost covered his ears with both hands, and secretly prayed in his heart that the door of the Xue family would be stronger. After a long time, the door finally opened, but what came to my face was a scolding: "Who is so unruly, the door is knocked on like this......"

I was only halfway through the words, and the other half was all blocked in my mouth. It was Xue Ne who answered the door, and after seeing the three of them clearly, he could hardly believe his eyes, and for a while he was not closing the door, nor was he opening the door to welcome guests, and he couldn't move when he stood there. After a while, he remembered his rudeness, and hurriedly took two steps back and bowed. Who knew that while he was retreating, Li Xian took Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu to immediately break in and helped the person up.

"Brother Xue, this is not a court, and there are no outsiders, what do you have to worship and worship?"

Seeing that Li Jingye had already closed the door knowingly, Li Xian blinked appreciatively, but the mystery in his heart was even heavier. No matter how shabby the Xue family is, it won't even be able to afford the porter. In addition, from the outside, I felt that this house was shabby enough, but now after entering it, I feel that the space is even more cramped, and it does not look like an official mansion at all.

Under Li Xian's greetings, Xue Ne finally couldn't resist it, and hurriedly confessed and ran into the inner house, and after a while, he helped an old woman with gray temples but a stiff waist to come out, followed by two maids.

"Xue Liu's greetings to His Royal Highness King Pei!"

As soon as the three words of Xue Liu's came out, Li Xian didn't know that this was Xue Rengui's wife, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped: "Mrs. Xue doesn't need to be polite, I just met Brother Xue yesterday and felt like I was familiar at first sight, so I came here today." ”

"His Royal Highness King Pei met with Inuko yesterday?" Xue Liushi glanced at his red-faced son next to him, and then smiled, "This kid hasn't told me about it when he comes back, but how dare he come to this mansion with His Highness, if you want to see him, just pass on a word!" ”

Facing such a hearty elder, Li Xian was suddenly a little embarrassed. He liked to deal with the old fox the most, because it was very fulfilling; And in the face of peers such as Cheng Bohu and Li Jingye, it is also particularly interesting to be bullied...... However, playing tricks in front of this Liu family, is he too despicable?

"It's only been a few days since we moved here, the house is messy, it's really not a place to entertain guests, please wait a while, I have already asked people to clean up. This kid is not sensible, if he had said that he had seen His Highness yesterday, he would have been prepared......"

"Mrs. Xue, actually, I heard about General Xue, so I came."

Li Xian finally decided to go straight to the knife, but seeing the expressions of the mother and son on the other side, he couldn't help but wonder if the mother and son already knew something.
