Li Zhi has lived in the deep palace for a long time to recuperate, and it is difficult to come out and shake it for a while, and today it seems that he is in a good mood, and he is interested, so he asked Zuo Fengchenwei's sergeant to play a polo game.

Polo is very popular among the Shi clan in the Tang Dynasty, and the officers in Zuo Fengchen's guard are all children of the Shi clan, and nine out of ten can play polo. So it was easy to form two teams, each led by Li Xiantong and Cheng Boxian, and started a game.

If you want to talk about the popularity in the palace, polo is better than Qianniu's martial arts, and women like Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping are also deeply fond of polo. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many outsiders, Princess Taiping would have wanted to play a few rods in person.

Li Zhi bought wine to entertain the ministers, and asked Xue Shao, the victor of today's martial arts, to accompany him. When the soldiers of Zuo Fengchen who were playing or watching the game by the polo field saw this scene, they all understood it in their hearts, and secretly scolded Zhou Jitong for being too ignorant of current affairs, and actually took the initiative to provoke the head of the "quasi-horse". At present, if you lose the martial arts, of course, you will be defeated and humiliated; Even if they win, can the hearts of the two saints and Princess Taiping be happy?

This is a stupid thing that doesn't please Lu left and right, what does Zhou Jitong want to do for Lu?

Even Xue Shao couldn't figure it out, Zhou Jitong didn't look like a stupid person, why did he take the initiative to provoke me?

The palace attendant came forward to pour wine for Xue Shao, and Princess Taiping hurriedly came out to stop it, "Father, Xue Shao can't drink!" ”

"For what?" Li Zhi is a little funny, you haven't passed the door yet, you are in charge of men?

Princess Taiping's face was a little red, and she whispered: "He is quitting drinking and recuperating, and besides, isn't he also injured?" You can see he still has blood on his cuffs. ”

Xue Shao also came back to his senses when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel the pain in his back, and his internal breath was also a little disordered. Maybe Fang Cai was too excited all along, and actually ignored it. At that time, he deliberately suffered a kick from Ji Tong that week, although he tensed his body and strengthened his strength, he still suffered some injuries.

Zhou Jitong's kung fu is indeed not covered.

"I ignored it." Li Zhi said with concern, "Xue Shao, I called the imperial doctor to treat your injuries." ”

"Your Majesty, you don't need to work as an imperial doctor. Chen is a soldier and is not so noble, but he has suffered some external injuries and does not care at all, and he can take care of it himself. Xue Shao hugged his fists and said, "Please go and change your clothes." ”

"Okay, there you go." Li Zhi nodded in agreement.

Xue Shao got up and walked to the tent, ready to change out of the blood-stained clothes on his body. Princess Taiping took advantage of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's inattention, and ran out and followed Xue Shao.

Li Zhi looked at Princess Taiping's back and smiled, "Queen, this is a female princess!" ”

Wu Zetian smiled, "Xue Shao's martial arts are all iron-clad. The concubine congratulated His Majesty and was happy to have a good son-in-law. ”

Pei Xingjian and Li Xiaoyi lost no time in toasting together: "The ministers congratulate His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and they are happy to ride the dragon and be a son-in-law!" ”

"Ha Luha, thank you two Aiqing, please drink this cup!" Li Zhi smiled with a big smile, with a sense of raising his eyebrows.

Wu Zetian raised his glass to drink this cup, smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart, His Majesty never praised Xue Shao in front of outsiders, just waiting for others to praise him, so he felt that he had a long face and a beautiful face. Even putting aside the matter of choosing a horse, His Majesty has a special preference and importance for Xue Shao, a nephew and courtier! …… Zhou Jitong, it's just a stepping stone!

Having said that, His Majesty chose Zhou Jitong to be this stepping stone, which was really exquisitely chosen, and Zhou Jitong's performance was seamless, and almost no one could see any flaws, even Taiping hated Zhou Jitong to death...... Zhou Jitong's loyalty to His Majesty is really unparalleled!

Xue Shao returned to the tent where he had changed his clothes before, took off his military uniform, and Lu Siyi helped him rub it with medicinal oil.

"General Xue, the injury is not light!" Lu Siyi exclaimed, "Zhou Zhonglang's foot strength is really powerful!" ”

"Rub hard." Xue Shao gritted his teeth and endured.

"Yes."

Xue Shao asked, "You were standing in the train just now, did you hear any discussions?" ”

"The brothers are all talking about General Xue." Lu Siyi said, "General Xue's kung fu is both fresh and powerful, which has opened the eyes of the brothers. Being able to defeat Zhou Zhonglang is a great feat, which is breathtaking! ”

"What else?" Xue Shao asked calmly.

"What's more, General Xue exchanged his first-order loose officials for Pan Yi and Tang Zhen's exceptional promotion, and the brothers all said that General Xue was generous and did what he said, and he was a real man!" Lu Siyi's voice was a little sour, "Many people are privately planning to become General Xue's personal entourage." The last general didn't understand, why did they go earlier? ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Lu Siyi, you are the first person to take the initiative to follow me, or an officer." Are you convinced? ”

"No matter how General Xue treats the last general, the last general must be convinced!" Lu Siyi swore in his heart, and said in his heart that if you don't pursue the things I once retreated from and drive me away, then everything will be fine!

Xue Shao nodded, "Since you are my personal attendant, you are my confidant and sibling." Tang Zhen and Pan Yi are still new recruits, although they have the same official position and rank as you, but they are inferior to you in many aspects, and they still need you to teach. See what I mean? ”

"The last will understand! The last general will inevitably follow and be loyal to the general, and there is no other ambition! Lu Siyi clasped his fists and bowed, feeling a little excited in his heart...... Although I am not promoted and rewarded at the moment, with this closeness and respect, why worry about the future?

"Keep kneading."

"Yes!"

Xue Shao thought for a while and said, "Is there anything else to talk about?" For example, does anyone think that Zhou Jitong is deliberately cheating and accepting me? ”

"Probably not!" Lu Siyi said without thinking, "Everyone saw the scene at that time, Zhou Jitong was really angry, and he was almost fighting for life and death with General Xue!" ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly, this is exactly what he is clever about!

"Could it be that General Xue thinks that Zhou Jitong is deliberately provoking, and then deliberately losing to General Xue?" Lu Siyi was surprised.

Xue Shao waved his hand, "No, don't talk nonsense outside!" ”

"Yes! The last general will never dare! ”

Xue Shao nodded, but said in his heart, Zhou Jitong deliberately provoked me as soon as I appeared, and then the new Qianniu martial arts rules appeared, and then he was completely defeated by me...... Everything seems so logical.

But it's too logical, and it doesn't seem so reasonable - what is Zhou Jitong's motive for doing all this, is it just to offend me, the second saint, and Princess Taiping?

Then unless Zhou Jitong is an idiot, he will do this!

But if Zhou Jitong is really an idiot, how can he be the captain of the emperor's personal guard, how can he be based on Fengchenwei, a complicated place where everyone has a background, for ten years, and even get mixed up to the point of covering the sky with one hand?

Xue Shao was pondering when Princess Taiping's voice sounded outside.

"Is Xue Lang in there?"

Tang Zhen and Pan Yi, who were guarding the tent entrance, hurriedly replied:

"Your Highness, General Xue is changing clothes and treating his injuries!"

"Ah, is he badly injured?" Princess Taiping was anxious, "Get out of the way and let the palace go in and have a look!" ”

"Your Highness, you can't go in!"

"What?" Princess Taiping was surprised, "Are you confused, this palace is Princess Taiping!" ”

"Wei Chen naturally recognized Her Royal Highness as Princess Taiping. But...... Your Highness still can't go in! ”

"Bold!" Princess Taiping was a little angry, "Don't you want to die?" ”

"Even if His Highness wants to kill the last general, the last general will not dare to let His Highness in!"

"......" Princess Taiping seemed to be a little stunned and speechless, "What are you doing?" ”

"Your Highness, the orders in the army are forbidden, and the military orders are like mountains. The last general is General Xue's personal entourage, and only recognizes Xue Shao's orders. ”

"If there is no permission from General Xue's order, the duty of the last general is to let anyone in."

Princess Taiping said: "Even if my father and mother come later, can't they go in?" ”

"Yes."

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh a little, being young has the benefits of being young Wow, he is persistent enough, admit death! If Lu Siyi had stayed outside, even if he hadn't let Princess Taiping in directly, he would probably have run in for instructions.

Xue Shao smiled and put on his clothes, and said to Lu Siyi, "You go out and ask them to let Princess Taiping in." ”

Lu Siyi hurriedly walked out of the city, clasped his fists and bowed to Princess Taiping, "Your Highness forgives me, General Xue is invited!" ”

"You two nerfs!" Princess Taiping scolded angrily and entered the tent.

Xue Shao saw her walk in and smiled, "Your Highness, I'm offended." ”

"Yo, General Xue has only been in office for one day, and he has such loyal subordinates, which is really gratifying!" Princess Taiping said with a smile, and it didn't seem that she was really angry.

His Highness smiled. They are loyal to military law and duty, not to be loyal to me Xue Shao personally. Xue Shao said.

"So, they're doing nothing wrong?" Princess Taiping asked with a wink.

Xue Shao smiled and nodded lightly, "The army is not the same as other places. If it can't be banned, how can a group of unruly men control and command? ”

"It seems to make sense...... Princess Taiping nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, in that case, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, this palace has to reward such a good guard!" ”

After that, Princess Taiping walked out of the tent and said, "Tang Zhen, Pan Yi, you two did the right thing." In the future, you must be more conscientious in your duties and loyal to General Xue. The palace took back the words that had just scolded you, and gave each of them ten horses of silk. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie!" Tang Zhen and Pan Yi were pleasantly surprised, good things happened one after another, today is really lucky!

Lu Siyi was a little dumbfounded, and I don't have my share?

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Zhu Bajie, send someone to fetch the silk now, thirty horses." ”

"Yes, the little slave will do it immediately." Zhu Bajie went as promised.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Siyi was overjoyed, this time it finally didn't fall!

Xue Shao heard a burst of amusement in the tent, Princess Taiping's kung fu of buying people's hearts was not bad at all.

Princess Taiping went and returned, standing in front of Xue Shao with a smile on her face, "Xue Lang, am I doing the right thing?" ”

"Of course." Xue Shao nodded with a smile.

"It's rare that you'll praise me too." Princess Taiping said softly, "Are you seriously injured, can I take a look?" ”

"Small injuries, just rub the medicated oil, you don't have to look at it." Xue Shao said, "Your Highness, I have a question that I may need you to answer for me." ”

"What's the doubt?"

Xue Shaodao: "I met Zhou Jitong on the first day, there was no injustice in the past, there is no enmity in the near future, and the relationship between colleagues will be in the future." Why did he take the initiative to provoke me as soon as he came up? ”

"Ugh! ......" Princess Taiping was stunned, blinked her eyes mechanically, and her face turned red.
