Xue Shao made the truth clear, and immediately won the recognition and follower of the four imperial swords. People in officialdom are like sailing against the current, and if they don't advance, they will retreat. Being able to rise up quickly is too attractive for the Four Imperial Blades.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xue Shao is not a mouthful. The fact in front of him is that Xue Shao is confident enough to be a colt in front of him. In addition, the martial arts academy is presided over by Pei Xingjian, in fact, the four imperial swords have long understood more than half of it, and the martial arts academy is to be next to Pei Xingjian to seek Tengda. As soon as Xue Shao broke his words today, they immediately decided to "follow to the death".

The eldest husband can't be without power for a day, and the children from the official family are all very self-motivated, and the sense of smell is also quite keen.

The five of them were chatting hotly, and Xue Chuyu, who was out on business, rushed back in a simple manner. Seeing that the two of them had something to say, they were just about to avoid it, but Xue Shao said no, so he asked Xue Chuyu to talk in public.

Xue Chuyu said that Zhou Jitong's injuries have healed and he has now returned to the Wei Mansion, and announced in public in the Wei Mansion that he will launch a thousand cattle to talk about martial arts - challenge Li Xiantong!

As soon as these words came out, the four imperial swords were all taken aback unexpectedly-a competition between thousands of cattle and two children, this kind of thing really hasn't happened!

"The four brothers were so surprised, you can imagine how shocked the people in the Wei Mansion were when they heard the news." Xue Shao said, "Last time I first came to Chadao, Zhou Jitong asked His Majesty for permission to allow General Zhonglang to participate in the martial arts of Qianniu. Now that there is a good show to watch, who is more powerful than Qianniu Ertong? ”

The four imperial swords all knew in their hearts, and this matter must have been instigated by Xue Shao behind his back. Otherwise, there is no reason for Qianniu Ertong to be so hard-fought and fight to the death. The two of them have been working together for ten years, and they have always been equally divided in the Wei Mansion, each with their own strengths, Zhou Jitong is highly prestigious, Li Xiantong is popular, and the two have been going hand in hand for many years.

On the surface, it seems that it is normal to talk about martial arts for a thousand bull imperial sword, but now it is an extraordinary period to compete for the position of "general", and the two of them are finally going to compete in public!

"This Li Xiantong has become a general, our life is not easy!" Cheng Boxian seemed to be muttering to himself, but he deliberately said it so that everyone else heard it.

"Yes......" Cheng Qizhi echoed, "Although Zhou Jitong has a big temper, he doesn't treat anyone equally and has no bad intentions, he is an upright man." ”

"Agreed." Liu Mian said succinctly, "If Xue Gongzi doesn't fight for the position of general, I hope Zhou Jitong will be the general!" ”

Cui Hejian blinked and said, "Anyway, it can't be Li Xiantong - even if it's Brother Niu!" ”

"Niu Da?"

"Big Brother Niu Gao Ma who can cover an entire window alone!"

Everyone laughed together.

Cheng Boxian said angrily: "You punish me!" - General Xue is not a general, I am a fart! ”

Xue Shao nodded, "I also agree with Zhou Jitong to be a general!" ”

Xue Shao's statement is equivalent to making a slap so that everyone has a bottom in their hearts.

The four of them really spoke up together, "Agreed!" ”

"Okay, now that we have reached a consensus, as long as Zhou Jitong wins the Qianniu Martial Arts Meeting tomorrow, we will strongly support Zhou Jitong to serve as a general!" Xue Shao said.

"Wait!" Cheng Boxian hurriedly said, "What if Li Xiantong wins?" ”

"Possibly." Cheng Qizhi said, "It's really hard to say which of these two has better skills!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Then let's talk about it later!" - Anyway, without the support of the five of us, Li Xiantong would not be able to be this general! ”

"That's inevitable!" The four of them said in unison, all with a sense of raising their eyebrows - we still have a head, a face and a status in the Wei Mansion!

Liu Mian said again: "However, what if the boss doesn't mention this matter and doesn't take tomorrow's martial arts meeting seriously?" ”

"Impossible." Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Don't ignore Li Lianggong. Qianniu Ertong wants to talk about martial arts, how can he sit idly by? - I dare to assert that tomorrow's Thousand Bull Martial Arts Meeting will be even grander than my one. Although it will not be stated explicitly, it is actually a battle for the position of general. You think, the losing side will inevitably lose prestige in the Wei Mansion. The person who led the troops lost his prestige, not to mention continuing to compete for the position of general with the winning side, even if he had a hard time in the Wei Mansion in the future. If Zhou Jitong wins, plus the support of the five of us, what else will Li Xiantong use to fight with him? ”

"The key is...... Can Zhou Jitong win? Cheng Boxian is still concerned about this issue.

Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Zhou Jitong has already lost once, and he definitely can't afford to lose a second time." He was fighting against the water, and Li Xiantong was forced to fight. One is born after death, and the other has distracting thoughts and suffers from gains and losses. If the two of them are really similar in strength, Zhou Jitong has a great chance of winning! ”

"That makes sense!"

Xue Shao smiled and said, "If we support Zhou Jitong to become a general, then the bow horse we want from the Martial Academy will definitely be in place immediately!" ”

"Ha Luha, this benefit is the most refreshing!" All four laughed together.

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, reached a consensus, and had no objections!

Li Shangdan and Li Xiantong, the father and son, are not only a stumbling block and a thorn in Wu Zetian's eyes, but also an obstacle to my career. This time I want to take people to the school field to ride horses and shoot arrows, they dare to obstruct it and don't save me any face, they will definitely make me a bigger stumbling block in the future!

Then, even if you can't get rid of them for a while, you must not let them grow any longer!

After chatting for a while, the four swords left.

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief and told Xue Chuyu to close the door.

"General, it turns out that Zuo Fengchenwei's internal struggle is also so fierce, and it is getting more and more intense." Xue Chuyu said while helping to clean up the tea set and other things.

Xue Shao nodded and said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are battles!" ”

"Speaking of internal strife...... If it weren't for the internal strife, my father would not have been defeated in Dafeichuan, so that Datang would not have lost Tuyuhun and a large territory in the Western Regions, and my father would not have been relegated to Xiangzhou, and he has not returned yet. Xue Chuyu said.

Xue Shao frowned, "You mean Guo Beifeng, right?" ”

"Yes."

Xue Chuyu finished packing up the tea set, and Xue Shao asked him to sit down and chat, just talk about the battle of Dafeichuan.

Xue Chuyu said: "In that battle, my father was the main general, and Guo Beifeng was the deputy general. Guo Beifeng is the son of Guo Xiaoke, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and the famous minister has always been arrogant, and his father started from the white body at the end of the micro, Guo Beifeng is unwilling to submit to his father. At the beginning of the battle of Dafeichuan, my father's light troops rushed forward and killed the Tubo people, and they were caught off guard by turning on their backs and breaking tens of thousands of enemies. However, Guo Beifeng, who was escorting grain and grass in the rear, was eager to be greedy for merit and failed to guard the grain and grass, resulting in the grain and grass falling into the hands of the Tubo people. As a result, the three armies cut off supplies, and the Tang army was defeated in the Battle of Dafeichuan. After returning to the dynasty, his father and Guo Zhifeng were demoted to commoners together. Later, my father made a brief comeback, but he was still squeezed out by Guo Beifeng's clan and plotted, and was relegated to Xiangzhou to be a small county official with eight grades, and he has not returned. ”

"A generation of famous generals, defeated in political battles......" Xue Shao shook his head, "Eleven years have passed since the battle of Dafeichuan. Even if Ling Zun was the main general at that time and was responsible for the defeat, the punishment he received was almost enough. A tiger like Ling Zun can only produce one in thousands of years, and the imperial court should not let a hero like him die in the wilderness! ”

Xue Chuyu's expression changed slightly, "Could the general be able to let my father come back?" ”

"You can give it a try." Xue Shao said.

Xue Chuyu clasped his fists and bowed, "If the general can make his father return, he will be Chu Yu's great benefactor!" ——My father is old and unbearable, and he must have been riddled with diseases all these years. My brothers and I haven't seen my father in years! If we can let him return, even if he is not a general or an official, my brothers and I also hope that he can live for a long time and return to his roots! ”

"I know it." Xue Shao nodded, Chinese, who doesn't want to return to the roots, who doesn't want to be filial to the end in front of the old father who is in the middle of the wind and candle?

Xue Chuyu suddenly stood up, knelt down on Xue Shao's knees, and kowtowed.

"It doesn't have to be like this, please get up!" Xue Shao hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"If the general can summon his father, it will be the fulfillment of Chu Yu's filial piety and the great grace of humanity!" Xue Chuyu knelt down and refused to get up, "General, you deserve this great gift!" ”

"Alright, hurry up." Xue Shao pulled him up with a secret force and said, "You and I are both colleagues and brothers of the same clan, isn't your father my clan uncle and my father?" It doesn't have to be so polite! ”

"General Xie!"

Xue Shao thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I have to ask the queen of heaven for help in this matter." ”

"Diva?" Xue Chuyu blinked curiously, "Why didn't the general ask His Majesty for pardon?" ”

Xue Shao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is now recuperating in the harem, and the Queen of Heaven is in power." I said something that is not very good, now Ling Zun is only a remote foreign official of the eighth grade, and the transfer of officials below the fifth rank can be followed. This kind of trivial matter is obviously not enough to alarm His Majesty the Emperor, who is recuperating in the harem. ”

"Makes sense." Xue Chuyu nodded, "Will you agree after that day?" ”

Xue Shao thought for a moment, "It's hard to say now, I have to go and find out first." ”

"Then please general!"

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best!" ”

"Thank you!" Xue Chuyu said goodbye and left.

Xue Shao thought to himself, if it was unexpected, Wu Zetian should not object to the recall of Xue Rengui. Previously, it was Emperor Li Zhi who belittled Xue Rengui, and now she recalls Xue Rengui, isn't she just showing grace to Xue Rengui? Wu Zetian has always been the most willing to do such a thing.

It is true that Xue Rengui has been away from the imperial court for too long and has no political influence. But his prestige in the army is still very high - the white-robed god of war back then is unparalleled in the world!

To this day, among the barbarian tribes who worship warriors, Xue Rengui still enjoys supreme honor. It is rumored that the Turks and Khitans in the north worshipped Xue Rengui as a god and set up a shrine for him. Every time they went out on an expedition or a big hunt, they had to go to Xue Rengui's ancestral hall to pray and sacrifice.

Xue Rengui, that's a veritable "male god"!

Wu Zetian has always respected talents and needs the support of generals even more. Xue Rengui, such a god-like general, how could she agree to let him die of old age in a place like Lingnan?
