Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to see the moon slave, and then looked at the gate of the mansion, where a team of Yulin sergeants had already run in left and right to form a guard of honor and guard.

"Why is the princess here?"

"How do I know the way?" The moon slave's reaction was much colder than Xue Yao's, and he turned around and walked towards the courtyard, beckoning the servants in the mansion to come and greet him.

Xue Yao smiled bitterly, it seems that I am not very popular here! Since I met a princess, there is no reason to avoid it, so I'll go and meet it!

After all, she is out of the palace and shows her head, and the royal majesty must not be ignored, Princess Taiping's trip today is much more formal than going to the Forbidden Garden to shoot and hunt that day. The front and rear iron armor opened the road to guard, and the flags and barriers stood in a forest. The queen of heaven also gave her baby daughter a Jinluo Jingen car, which is the queen's daily car. On both sides of the Jingen car, there is Shangguan Wan'er on the left to accompany the car, and Linlang is guarded with a sword on the right.

Such a big pomp came out of the palace and swaggered through the city, across the entire Chang'an City to Qinglongfang, and there were countless people watching along the way. Princess Taiping sat in the car and did not show up, and people were already shocked when they saw Shangguan Wan'er next to the carriage, and Linlang's twin children were also very eye-catching.

In Chang'an City, there was a sensation.

Princess Taiping wore a palace costume and sat in the phoenix chariot with a faint smile on her face, Xue Lang, I played such a big card field today and came to your mansion to find you, it should be regarded as earning you enough face, right?

"Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping has arrived—" The Yellow Gate attendant stood at the gate of the Xue Mansion and shouted loudly.

The servants in Xue's mansion knelt down and pressed their foreheads to the ground, and Xue Yao knelt in front. The moon slave bowed his hand and stood next to Xue Yao.

Xue Yao glanced sideways at the moon slave from time to time, and said in his heart that I am a five-grade doctor who knelt down to greet me, why are you still standing as a slave?

The moon slave turned a blind eye, looked at the nose and nose and looked at the heart, and was as calm as he wanted.

The royal majesty is important, Princess Taiping did not get out of the car, and the attendant female envoy Shangguan Wan'er entered the house first. When he raised his eyes, Xue Shao was not among them, and the standing maid was quite eye-catching.

Xue Yao was already kneeling steadily, and he knelt on the ground and said: "Minister, I am admonishing Doctor Xue Yao, please meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is still on top of the phoenix, waiting for Xue Shao to go and greet you." Shangguan Wan'er looked at Xue Yao deeply, "Doctor Xue, why are you here?" ”

"Huh? ......" Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, even if he was a great Confucian with great cultivation and self-cultivation, Xue Yao suddenly felt that his eyes were amazed, and his expression froze unnaturally for a moment.

Although Shangguan Wan'er has been Wu Zetian's "personal secretary" for two years, she is rarely sent to leave the inner court. Therefore, there are really only a few courtiers who can know Shangguan Wan'er.

"I'm asking you." Shangguan Wan'er's tone was very flat. But it's really not like a female envoy who doesn't even have a rank is talking to a five-rank officer, but has a bit of the demeanor of being a courtier.

Although Xue Yao didn't recognize Shangguan Wan'er, he had heard for a long time that there were so many henchmen around the queen of heaven, and he couldn't be slacking off at all - the female envoy was sent out, but it was the second saint who directly represented her!

"The minister also came to visit Xue Chengyu, and by chance, he met Princess Luan!" Xue Yao knelt down, not daring to look directly at Shangguan Wan'er anymore.

Shangguan Wan'er's brows furrowed slightly, "What about Xue Gongzi?" ”

"I don't know!"

Princess Taiping, who was sitting in the phoenix chariot steadily, suddenly felt a wall in her heart, what, Xue Shao is not at home?!

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head to look at the moon slave standing on the side, "Who are you?" ”

"I am the maid of Xue Gongzi's family." The moon slave replied indifferently.

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, a little portal slave and maid, seeing that the royal family did not kneel, there was no fear and fear.

"Where did your son-in-law go?"

The moon slave was still calm and tight, "The affairs of the master's family, how can I know the Tao of a slave?" ”

Hmph, even if I know the way, I won't tell you! Childe is out to do big things, what can the princess do? Childe's business is the biggest in the world, and he must not be delayed by you women who do not do his job at this juncture!

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, this maid is so domineering, and the five-grade doctor didn't reply like you! …… What kind of master, what kind of household maid is raised. Could it be that Xue Shao is also an extremely high-flying person?

"Wan'er, where is Xue Shaoren?" The voice of Princess Taiping came from behind her, and she was already a little displeased.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly returned to Feng Yuan's side, "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't worry, wait for Wan'er to inquire clearly." ”

"I'm angry with this palace!" Princess Taiping whispered hatefully, "This palace has tried its best to get out of the palace and made a special trip to find him, but he is not at home!" ”

"Your Highness, the so-called ignorant are not guilty. Xue Gongzi didn't know that Her Royal Highness Princess Lu Dao was coming today! Shangguan Wan'er said cautiously.

Princess Taiping bit her lip, "It's all these stupid slaves who don't do things well!" ”

The palace maid and eunuch who were accompanying Feng Yuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The slave is guilty, please calm your anger!" ”

Zhu Bajie fell to the ground with his body on his buttocks, and he screamed bitterly in his heart, didn't I remind His Highness yesterday to notify Xue Gongzi in advance, did you say you didn't want to......

"At this point, it's useless to blame these slaves." Shangguan Wan'er said softly, "Your Royal Highness the princess might as well go to the Furong Garden to settle down first, and leave Wan'er here to inquire about Xue Gongzi's whereabouts, or take him to see the princess after he returns." ”

Princess Taiping frowned, "This palace wants to go to his mansion to have a look." ”

"That's fine." Shangguan Wan'er said, "It's just that the princess is the lord of His Royal Highness, how can there be a reason to sit and wait for the courtiers?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just going in and having a look." Princess Taiping said, "It would be best if he came back at this time; If he doesn't come back, I'll leave you behind to wait for him. ”

"Do as the princess commands!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed her hand, "Serve the princess left and right, and serve the princess to get off." Flying and riding three classes of solemnity, musicians play the song of "White Snow", red carpet paving barrier fan emcee, waiters light incense, maids sprinkle flowers! As soon as people are lazy, they will be ordered by me to start quickly! ”

"Yes—" The crowd agreed, and they all moved.

Princess Taiping looked at Shangguan Wan'er through the purple gauze car, Shangguan Wan'er is really exquisite, smart and capable, no wonder my mother likes to use her, she is indeed a handy and capable person!

……

The much-anticipated Xue Mansion was busy, but Xue Shao was leisurely fishing by the river, and chatting with Pei Xingjian was quite speculative.

The topic was deliberately led by Xue Shao to the military.

Pei Xingjian seemed to be very interested in Xue Shao, a young man from a noble background but keen on military affairs and had a lot of strange opinions, especially for that set of Lantian secret codes, and kept asking for advice.

Xue Shao explained to him, and said down the slope: "Tomorrow, I will compile the Lantian code book of Lu and take it and present it to Pei Shangshu." However, Shangshu may wish to compile it again by himself, and the position of the handwriting should not be the same as mine. The military situation is important, and we must not leave half of the hidden danger of leakage! ”

"Hehe, don't hurry, don't hurry." Pei Xingjian said with a smile, "This set of things of the son is very mysterious, and the old man has to spend some time to study well." Those bizarre numbers alone are enough for the old man to figure out for a few days! ”

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, it was indeed like a mountain across the line, and it was indeed a little difficult for Pei Xingjian, an ancient person who had received decades of Tang Dynasty cultural education, to suddenly learn modern mathematics and secret code.

"It's better than that." Xue Shao said, "If Pei Shangshu goes on the expedition another day, he might as well bring me with him." Although I don't know how to learn or know any art of war and martial arts, I can be a Chinese military clerk and specialize in managing the transmission of military information. ”

"Oh?" Pei Xingjian looked at Xue Shao with deep surprise, "The prince is a noble man, and now he is the official residence and the seven grades are not leisurely, and there is also the marriage contract of Princess Taiping, why should he suffer from this expedition?" ”

Xue Shao muttered in his heart, okay, the first time is plagiarism, and the second time can only be regarded as a quotation!

"If you don't starve to death, Ruguan is more mistaken." Xue Shao shook his head, his expression was quite serious, "Whether it's a drunken gold fan or a lustful dog, even Princess Taiping, who is the pampered of the world, is not what she wants in her next life!" …… Crisscrossing the battlefield and making contributions, only then will it be in vain for a man to live his life! ”

"Childe, you are arrogant!" Pei Xingjian just smiled, "It's just that the old man can't have the final say in such matters." Besides, you have also seen that the old man is now fishing every day to pass the time, marching and marching, and there is no way to talk about it! ”

Pei Xingjian's words can be said to be the intention of the speaker, and the listener also has the intention.

Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, did Pei Xingjian want to say that although he came back from a victory, he did not get the corresponding "hero treatment", but was excluded by the court and could only avoid those disputes, so he hid in Qujiang Pond every day to fish?

The Tang Dynasty attaches the most importance to military merits, and it is not uncommon for generals to make achievements on the battlefield. There are Li Jing and Li Tao who are farther away, and Liu Renliang who is closer. It stands to reason that Pei Xingjian, who was originally distinguished and prestigious, and who was also a civil and military officer, should also enter the cabinet to pay respects when he comes back from this victory. But listening to his tone, it seems to be implying that the court will not easily allow him military power, and it will be a little difficult for him to lead troops to fight again?

"Shang Shu is the first person in martial arts in the dynasty, why don't you have the opportunity to lead troops into battle again?" Xue Shaowei said gracefully, "The pattern in the north is chaotic, although Shangshu won the enemy chieftain in Montenegro, but it is estimated that it will not be long before the north will rebel." At that time, the court will naturally have to entrust Shangshu with important tasks! ”

Pei Xingjian suddenly turned his head and glared at Xue Shao with his eyes open, "Military affairs, how can you allow them to discuss in private?!" ”

"It's just an unintentional remark from a chatter, why is Shangshu so nervous? Could it be that what Shangshu thinks in his heart coincides with me? Xue Shao smiled lightly.

"......" Pei Xingjian was speechless for a while, took a deep breath and sighed leisurely, his brows were tightened, and his face was filled with a lot of melancholy and seriousness.

Xue Shao smiled secretly, how could Pei Xingjian not know that the northern part of the road had not been completely pacified? But the court hurriedly asked him to return to the court, maybe he was afraid that he would not be able to lose his army outside, or that the credit he had made was too great to control in the future, so he recruited him back halfway.

After returning to the dynasty, Pei Xingjian naturally wants to return the military power, this is like a tiger without claws, what power can it have? The imperial court celebrated him decently in the Qide Palace, but did not entrust him with the important task of worshipping him as the prime minister. The dignified commander of the three armies and the court members of the civil and military products actually came to fish, which is really ironic!

"Xue Gongzi, very human." Pei Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the buoy on the surface of the water and said leisurely.

Shang Shu laughed. I'm just casually boasting, just as a joke, Shangshu doesn't have to take it to heart. Xue Shao said.

"The North is indeed ...... What a restlessness! Pei Xingjian sighed, shook his head, and his brows twisted into a big pimple, "Xue Gongzi is not in the military or the court, but he can say it in one sentence, which is absolutely beyond the reach of people!" ”

Xue Shao smiled noncommittally and did not answer, and said in his heart that I not only knew that war would arise again in the north of the Dao, but also knew that in the near future, there would be a powerful Turkic Khanate rising in the northern steppe, thus encouraging the surrounding countries and tribes that had submitted to the Tang Dynasty in the past to start a series of battles against the Tang Dynasty, which lasted for decades!

The era of Empress Wu Zetian is coming, the world is in turmoil, internal and external troubles are everywhere, this is undoubtedly an era that can make martial artists shine!

So I'm determined to follow Rong!.
