As soon as Xue Shao opened the festival, the news quickly spread.

As a relative of the emperor or a feudal official who commanded thousands of troops, Xue Shao would actually go to pay tribute to a woman who had no name with him. People talked about it and rumors, and even the sacrificial text written by Xue Shao began to circulate wildly among the countryside of Suizhou.

Many people praise Xue Shao for his affection and righteousness, and some people think that Xue Shao sacrifices his ego in order to maintain local stability and take into account the overall situation of justice. Some people also said that Xue Shao couldn't compromise so much with a strong man. More people, while discussing Xue Shao's behavior, expressed great indignation and contempt for Liu Yuan's arrogant behavior that did not know the height of the sky.

In just two days, public opinion has been in an uproar.

Liu Yuan finally couldn't sit still.

Only then did he finally see clearly Xue Shao's true intention - to build momentum first, and then kill people!

Whoever is in power kills anyone, whether it is to eradicate dissidents or to eliminate harm for the people, for whatever purpose, anyone in power kills!

Some people take the lives of others in vain because of their own likes and dislikes and momentary righteousness, and the way of killing people is crude and simple, which can have a great deterrent effect in a short period of time. But such a person will inevitably be saddled with the name of violence, and over time, the people will betray their relatives and leave, and finally be defeated. The representatives of this type of people are those well-known tyrants in history, such as Xia Wei Shang and Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Some people take advantage of the will of heaven and the power of law and morality to put the enemy on the cusp of public criticism before killing people, and then take their heads with righteous and stern words. After killing people in this way, not only will they not gain the name of violence, but they will also receive a lot of support and praise. There is no shortage of people in the history of this type of murderer, basically every founding emperor of every dynasty and every generation, is among them!

Tyrants kill, and saints kill. The only difference is the way of killing!

Liu Yuan realized how powerful Xue Shao was, he couldn't endure what others couldn't endure, and he was an extraordinary person. Now Xue Shao has not sent out a single soldier, but Liu Yuan has already felt his fierce murderous aura. This murderous aura came so violently, it was not only to take his head from Liu Yuan, but also to uproot his Suizhou Liu family!

In a panic, Liu Yuan hurriedly went to the two good "brothers-in-law" to discuss countermeasures. found that Wu Yizong had slipped away on the first day of Xue Shao's puja, and he slipped away without saying a word, and he didn't even want grain and grass. Yang Tong also escaped from Hongyun Fort overnight, only taking his parents, wife and children with him, and even the ancestral inheritance of his beloved concubine Meiji and thousands of acres of fertile land.

Liu Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed!

"Gutsless rats!"

"No righteousness!"

"Despicable villain!"

Wangtian scolded angrily for a while, and Liu Yuan gradually felt that Rumang was chilling all over his back, as if a strong aura of death had surrounded him, and he couldn't get rid of it.

"My Liu family's century-old family, could it be that Xue Shao can really do it?" In a hurry, Liu Yuan had a hint of luck, and muttered to himself, "He is also a child of the family, and the Xue and Liu families have many contacts with each other, and their relationship is intertwined...... He shouldn't be so cruel, right? ”

No matter what he thought, Liu Yuan knew that it was time to go to Xue Shao for a "formal" talk.

Xue Shao was playing against Wu Ming in the monk's meditation room behind the stone temple, and although he lost a mess, his demeanor was relaxed and comfortable. The so-called "weeping sacrifice in person" is just a recitation of a sacrifice in public at the festival.

Still, the effect has been achieved. All of Xue Shao's subordinates were furious about this incident, and they personally contributed to the incitement among the masses, and it was only reasonable that Liu Yuan was placed in the public target.

"It's only been two years since Childe entered the official career, and he is already so mature and wise, it's not easy." Wu Ming fell down and said calmly.

Wu Ming never praised people lightly, even to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao's heart suddenly felt comfortable, and he inadvertently fell into a son, but he fell into Wu Ming's trap and immediately fell to the downside.

"Master Wu, you are cunning enough!" Xue Shao said angrily.

Wu Ming laughed, "The soldier is treacherous, not to mention that the poor monk is still a scout, not to mention that the poor monk is still a scout under Gongzi!" ”

"One more game!" Xue Shao was unwilling, "Why do I always play chess but can't play others?" ”

"It depends on who they are." Wu Ming said with a smile, "Actually, Childe's chess skills are already outstanding, but those who can play against Childe are not ordinary people." ”

Xue Shao blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems to be!" ”

"Childe has a habit of challenging the strong. Although he has been defeated repeatedly, he has been defeated again and again, and he is never tired of it. Wu Ming said, "With a character like Childe, failure can stimulate your fighting spirit more than success, and a strong opponent will greatly contribute to your growth." I think this is probably an important reason why Childe has only been in the company for two years, but he has become so mature and wise! ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Are you insinuating something?" ”

"The poor monk doesn't dare." Wu Ming also smiled slightly, and said, "But to be honest, from the first day of Gongzi's entry, he has been in contact with the top wise men of the Tang Empire, such as the emperor and general. Especially the two saints, Gongzi suffered a lot in the middle of them. But after coming and going, Childe also gained wisdom and experience that others could not accumulate in ten or twenty years. There is also Pei Gong, who must have a great influence on Gongzi. Pei Gong's talent can be described as ancient and modern. How much Childe learned from Pei Gong, I'm afraid it's hard to estimate it, right? ”

Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "You're right. Whether it is Ersheng or Pei Gong, or even many people who are enemies of me, they are actually my teachers. ”

"Childe seems to have neglected someone?" Wu Ming said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping? ”

"Needless to say? The person who had the greatest influence on me was, of course, Princess Taiping! Xue Shao smiled, and the demeanor of Princess Taiping immediately appeared in his heart, as well as her pot-bellied appearance...... I really miss her a little!

"Count the time, Your Highness is about to give birth to a unison." Wu Ming said, "Childe, you're going to have a queen!" ”

Wu Ming didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Xue Shao's heart was churning and turbulent. I really want to grow a pair of wings on my body, and fly back to Luoyang in an instant to accompany Princess Taiping. Upgraded to a father, it was the first time in the past and this life, Xue Shao couldn't do it without being excited!

The two were chatting, and Guo An came into the house to report, saying that Liu Yuan wanted to see him.

"He finally couldn't sit still." Xue Shao held the chess piece in his hand and smiled slightly, "No! ”

"Yes!" Guo An didn't say a word, and went out to reply.

Wu Ming asked, "What does Childe plan to do with Liu Yuan?" ”

Xue Shao didn't rush to answer, dropped a chess piece steadily, and asked rhetorically: "Do you remember the assassination of Li Xiantong and the first emperor when they died?" ”

Wu Ming's eyes lit up, "Childe thinks that case is related to Li Xiantong?" ”

"There's no evidence, but my instincts do tell me so." Xue Shao said, "Li Xiantong's incident has taught me a strict lesson, shoveling grass must be eradicated!" ”

Wu Ming took a deep breath and twisted his thick eyebrows, "Yes!" ”

Liu Yuan was outside the courtyard, almost crazy.

"What exactly does he want?!"

Guo An and the others guarded the entrance of the courtyard like King Kong, and completely ignored Liu Yuan, who was like ants on the hot pot, as if it was air.

Liu Yuan fidgeted and pondered for a while, walked up to Guo An again to be careful, and said, "General Guo, I am willing to donate 100,000 stone grain and grass to the Shuofang army to compensate for the previous crime of disrespect." also asked Lord Xue Dudu to give Liu a chance to plead guilty in person. How about Lao ask General Guo to report again? ”

Guo An didn't look at him, just stood still, as if he was deaf.

Liu Yuan thought to himself that the price he offered might be too low, so he gritted his teeth again, "In addition to 100,000 stones of grain and grass, I am willing to donate another thousand taels of gold and 5,000 horses of linen to help the military!" ”

Guo An was still unmoved, and he didn't even roll his eyes.

Liu Yuan let out a long sigh, "Let's put it this way, what do you want?" As long as I Liu someone has it, give it all! ”

Guo An finally rolled his eyes to look at Liu Yuan, and said word by word: "The military order is like a mountain." The young marshal has already said it, no! ”

"Why don't you get oil and salt?!" Liu Yuan was anxious and annoyed, clapping his hands and calling.

Guo An regained his previous appearance, stood up and looked straight ahead, treating Liu Yuan as air.

At this moment, Niu Ben and two scouts came in through the back door and entered the courtyard with a rickety old man. Seeing that Liu Yuan was here, Niu Ben and the others hurriedly avoided it.

Liu Yuan glanced at a few of them with sharp eyes, and was shocked at the moment, "Isn't that the old widow of Donglu who picks the night fragrance?" ”

"Count Liu, please leave!" Guo An stepped forward and opened his arms to stop him.

"......" Liu Yuan stood on tiptoe and looked inside, but there was no longer the figure of the old widow and Niu Ben and others. He suddenly panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say: Recently, there are rumors that when the widow was picking night incense at my house, he accidentally saw me pushing my daughter down the embroidery building and falling to her death. I was sending people around looking for this old widow, but I never thought that he would fall into the hands of Xue Shao!

――How?!

"Count Liu, please leave!" Guo An stepped forward again, almost touching Liu Yuan's chest, and a powerful murderous aura faintly overflowed from his body.

Liu Yuan suddenly felt that every pore in his body seemed to be contracted and tensed, and a chill suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" “

After turning back one step at a time, Liu Yuan left the stone temple. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and the faster I went, and then I left here as if I had run away.

There was still a sound of Buddha chanting from the stone temple, but Liu Yuan heard it in his ears like the sound of summoning souls from hell, which made him tremble!

In the meditation room, Xue Shao said, "Niu Ben, did you do what I said?" ”

"Don't worry, Childe, when we came in, we deliberately sneaked through the back door, so that the person surnamed Liu glanced at it, and then quickly slipped away!" Niu Ben said with a big grin.

"Good. Please go down and rest, so that you can serve and protect, and don't leave here for the time being. Xue Shao said.

Niu Ben and the scout led the old widower away, and Wu Ming said: "Son, you don't have to wait any longer now, you can take people!" ――The lives of the groom and the willow girl alone are enough to cure Liu Yuan's sin! ”

"Don't be busy, let's continue to play chess." Xue Shao said lightly, "If a person like him doesn't commit more than a dozen cases worthy of being killed, he is not worthy of being called a strong party." In fact, if I really want to kill Liu Yuan, it's as easy as crushing a bed bug to death, he is not as tough as Tang Huaibi's backstage, right? The reason why I have endured so much so far is that I have not only figured out that the head will fall to the ground with a knife! ”
