Although the sunset is beautiful, it is already dusk.

There are many shades in the garden, and it seems a little deserted at the moment. I don't know if it was because it cooled down or because she heard what Xue Shao said, Shangguan Wan'er felt a slight chill all over her body, and unconsciously hugged her elbows and looked a little nervous.

Xue Shao took off the cloak on his body and wanted to drape it on Shangguan Wan'er's body.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned crimson again, and she prevaricated. Xue Shao was indisputable, and he directly draped the cloak on her shoulder, "Put it on." ”

"Thank you, childe......"

Xue Shao smiled, "Don't worry, girl, my soldiers and horses only kill foreign robbers." If it is against an old man who is in charge of power, I don't want to dirty the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers to protect the family and defend the country. ”

"It's the best if you don't have a sword." Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was slightly calm.

No matter who is right or wrong, once there is really a civil war, it will be a disaster for Datang. Shangguan Wan'er, like all the people of the Tang Dynasty in the world, last wanted this to happen.

Xue Shao walked to the edge of a rocky cliff, raised his hands slightly, looked at the remnant sun that was about to set in the distance, the corners of his mouth gently hooked a trace of arrogance, and looked quietly into the distance.

Shangguan Wan'er has never seen Xue Shao's demeanor and expression like this, confident and calm, looking at the common people, as if she can change the color of the wind and clouds with a flick of her fingers, and a flick of her sleeves can destroy thousands of troops!

What was on his mind? ’

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Xue Shao quietly, and suddenly felt her heart pounding. There was a burst of heat on his face, and he felt flustered.

Since ancient times, beauties love heroes.

Shangguan Wan'er stared at this Xue Shao in front of her, thinking that he was no longer the Lantian prince who was immersed in the wind and moon in the past. After going through the ups and downs, and being baptized by war and iron blood, he now has a natural and unparalleled domineering spirit, and has the bloody spirit of daring to be the enemy of the world.

Such a man is irresistible to a woman.

This kind of Xue Shao makes Shangguan Wan'er unable to resist!

"Wan'er, please help me." Xue Shao looked at Shangguan Wan'er in the distance with his back to him, and suddenly said these six words.

Shangguan Wan'er trembled slightly, suddenly came back to her senses from her thoughts, straightened her face, and said, "How does Childe want Wan'er to help?" ”

Xue Shao turned around and looked at Shangguan Wan'er with sharp eyes, "I want to know, what is the relationship between the Queen Mother and Pei Yan now?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er was stared at by him like this, and suddenly felt a little flustered, and quickly turned her face away and didn't dare to touch his eyes, and said, "What does Childe mean?" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, "Of course, it's the political aspect." ”

Shangguan Wan'er also smiled gracefully, and said in her heart I asked really stupidly, in addition to official business, can there be private affairs?

"And ask the girl for advice?" Xue Shao arched his hand at Shangguan Wan'er.

"Childe doesn't have to be like this...... Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath and calmed her mind, and said: "Childe, you think, since the Queen Mother sent me to stop you from entering Chang'an, it already means that the Queen Mother herself is still more biased towards you." ”

Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "I know." That's why I want to ask clearly, what kind of attitude does the Queen Mother have towards Pei Yan now? ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, and her face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Xue Shao was not in a hurry, and gave her enough time to think about the pros and cons.

If you want to fight back against Pei Yan, you will definitely not be able to avoid Wu Zetian, and this idea in Xue Shao's heart is quite clear. If Wu Zetian and Pei Yan were still firmly united into an iron plate, then they would have great ability, and they would not be able to pry these two great gods in one fell swoop. But if there is an estrangement and contradiction between Wu Zetian and Pei Yan, then things will be much easier!

Xue Shao has such an idea, but it is not an imagination. If Wu Zetian didn't want to protect and fight for himself, he would not have sent Guan Wan'er to wait outside Chang'an City, let alone send the Kudi clan to report in advance. From these two things, it can be seen that even if Wu Zetian has not officially turned his face with Pei Yan, he is at least quite dissatisfied with some of his practices.

This may be just a superficial phenomenon, but thinking about it at a deeper level, Wu Zetian and Pei Yan are both people with a strong desire for power, and they are both coveting supreme power. Pei Yan wants to depose the emperor, which is nothing more than wanting to be a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person. Then the only one who is bigger than him can only be the puppet emperor, how can he tolerate Wu Ze's fingers?

Not to mention Wu Zetian, anyone can sacrifice on his path to power, and anyone must die!

Since they are all pursuing supremacy, there is no reason to share power with others. Wu Zetian and Pei Yan can only stay in the end, this is the inevitability of history!

After a long silence, it was getting late. Lanterns are being lit everywhere in the garden.

"If the girl doesn't want to say it, I won't force it. After all, the stakeholder is heavy, and Xue doesn't ask. Xue Shao still looked into the distance and said indifferently.

Shangguan Wan'er felt that she had no room for resistance at all.

Breathe deeply!

Breathe deeply!

Take a deep breath again......

"If the prince can bring down Pei Yan in one fell swoop, the queen mother will definitely be happy!"

In a word, the rock is shattering!

Xue Shao turned around, looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a smile, and said, "In this way, it really is time to fight with a sword and fight to the death." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's heart was beating wildly and trembling slightly, but she looked at Xue Shao with her eyes open and unblinking, and suddenly had a strange illusion in her heart: if Xue Shao jumped off this cliff now, she would definitely jump down with him without hesitation.

- Be his green sister!

"It's getting late, can I send you back to the Taichu Palace?" Xue Shao smiled and walked in front of Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded lightly, did not speak, and did not look directly into Xue Shao's eyes.

Different from the ease and leisure when she came, when she went back, Shangguan Wan'er didn't want to say a word, just walked behind Xue Shao half a step behind, looked at his heels, and followed step by step.

Xue Shao walked very steadily with every step, and his stride length was as if he had been measured with a ruler, precise and unified.

Suddenly, Xue Shao stopped.

"Yikes!" Shangguan Wan'er let out a low exclamation, almost hitting Xue Shao's back.

"Girl, please board." Xue Shao smiled and said lightly.

It turns out that they have all arrived at the gate of the park! …… Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly turned red, fortunately, there was cover from the night, otherwise it would be a loss of face.

The servant who drove the car brought the ladder, and when Shangguan Wan'er stepped on it with one foot, Xue Shao naturally stretched out his hand next to her.

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated slightly, reached out and put his palm on his hand, and with a little bit of strength, boarded the carriage.

"His hands are warm and strong!"

Shangguan Wan'er sat in the car and felt her heart beat wildly. She couldn't help but curse herself again and again, why is she so useless today?

"Let's go!" Xue Shao got on the horse and said.

"Okay." Shangguan Wan'er replied, feeling a little afraid to speak more, for fear that she would talk nonsense again.

The carriage started, and Xue Shao rode a horse to follow the car.

Shangguan Wan'er sat in the car for a long time, and couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car, just enough to see half of Xue Shao's sideways.

Horses don't go fast, and carts go slowly.

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Xue Shao for a long time, and her eyes didn't blink much. She knew that Xue Shao must have realized that he was looking at him, but he kept pretending not to know.

With a soft sigh, Shangguan Wan'er lowered the curtain.

"Even though I knew you were trying to get the news out of me, I did it willingly!"

"Xue Shao, Xue Shao, what kind of Gu did you give me?"

"Just one day of companionship can make me fall to this ......"

"Should I rejoice, should I regret, or should I muster up the courage to meet those painful struggles ahead?"

……

Back at home, Xue Shao came to the lobby of the main house as usual, where Princess Taiping and Kudi were enjoying singing and dancing.

"Xue Lang is back?" Princess Taiping greeted her with a smile, as if she was not a little dissatisfied because he had been "smuggling" all day, and hurriedly beckoned, "Come and sit with us, there are some interesting things to tell you!" ”

"Okay." Xue Shao sat next to them with a smile.

"Mrs. Shicai Yang told me that there was a ruthless person in Chang'an recently." Princess Taiping seemed to be in a good mood, with a happy smile.

"What's the ruthless method?" Xue Shao asked.

"That man ran to the Yushitai to sue Wu Chenghei with a white body, and sued him in one fell swoop - are you ruthless?" Princess Taiping said happily, it seems that Wu Chenghei is unlucky, and she is the happiest.

Kudi hurriedly added: "Wu Chengsi was originally a secretary of the military department, and after he was ordered to patrol Hebei and came back, he was promoted to the third rank of the same Zhongshu because of his military merits. As a result, he was dismissed for less than fifteen days as the prime minister, and even the original post of secretary of the military department was dismissed, and now he is reflecting on his mistakes at home, and maybe he will be sentenced! - This time, he's out of luck! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "The ruthless person you are talking about can't be named Song Jing, right?" ”

The two daughters were shocked at the same time, "Have you heard?" ”

Xue Shao touched his chin with a smile and didn't answer, but smiled in his heart: Arsenic|frost is good dung, it's really powerful! - Song Jing, it didn't disappoint me!

"Xue Juma, I heard the Queen Mother say something, it seems that Pei Yan intends to let Song Jing review your case." Kudi said, "After investigating Wu Chenghei, Song Jing's appearance was unanimously favored by the Queen Mother and Pei Yan. After learning that he was the county commander and the marching manager of Xue Rengui's army, the imperial court appointed Song Jing as the imperial historian of the imperial history - specifically to investigate the impeachment of high-ranking officials and generals in the court! ”

Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Interesting!" Interesting! Now it's really fun! ”

"You're going to be unlucky, and you can still giggle?" Princess Taiping was really angry, and said, "You hurry up and tell me, what did you plan in your heart?" What makes you so full of ambition and wisdom in your hands? ”

Xue Shao still smiled and said, "Heavenly opportunity, don't leak it!" ”

Kudi hurriedly got up and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I should go and rest." ”

"Madame, please!"

Princess Taiping hurriedly called the maids and waited for Mrs. Huayang to go to the guest room. Then he told all the idlers to stand down.

"Now you can say it, right?" Princess Taiping was a little angry, "I feel that I am so generous that I am a little confused, and I will actually allow you and Shangguan Wan'er to have a private tryst!" - Hmph, if you don't tell me honestly, I'm really going crazy! ”.
