Tonight, the conversation between Xue Shao and Wu Zetian was not so pleasant. Obviously, Wu Zetian was a little angry about Xue Shao's "private blockade". Xue Shao was not so worried that Wu Zetian would hate herself because of this incident, she was able to climb to today's position, and she did not lack such a little belly. What he was really worried about was, how would Wu Zetian deal with Wang Fangyi?

Compared with Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi's prestige is higher and his influence in the army is greater, especially his current position is more important. It can be said that half of the Western Regions will now be supported by Wang Fangyi.

Such an important general of the country is like the central roof of a house, how can it be removed at will?

Conversation, unhappily parted.

Wu Zetian also asked Princess Taiping to go home with Xue Shao, only saying that Xue Shao made a special trip to the palace to pick her up because he missed his wife. But Princess Taiping was obviously not so easily fooled, and on the way home, she asked, "What did you talk about with your mother today, and why did your mother's mood become so corrupt and bomb me home?" ”

"Nothing." Xue Shao's alcohol strength was a little attacked, and he pressed his forehead, not wanting to speak.

"Hey......" Princess Taiping sighed softly, didn't ask any more, and reached out to press the back of Xue Shao's neck, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

The carriage walked out of the palace, and Wu Ming, Guo An and Yuenu rode to follow.

Princess Taiping lifted the curtain and glanced outside, and said, "When you go out in the future, remember to take them with you." ”

Xue Shao asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lately, it may not have been very peaceful." Princess Taiping said.

Xue Shao smiled, "Princess Taiping's man, will it be peaceful?" ”

"Who's kidding you?" Princess Taiping's expression was quite serious.

Xue Shao woke up, "You've been in the palace lately, could it be that you can still hear any rumors?" ”

"I don't know, it's true." Princess Taiping looked a little worried, and whispered: "Yesterday, my mother called Wu Chenghei to the inner court and reprimanded him fiercely in private. Guess what? ”

Xue Shao shook his head.

A few days ago, Luoyang ordered Wei Yuanzhong to crack a Gyeonggi murder case. Touching the melon, I accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Mengjin water owl. Princess Taiping said, "It's the group that assassinated you on the eve of your father's death last time." ”

Xue Shao's wine suddenly woke up halfway, "Aren't these people Yuanzhen's minions?" Coming to Luoyang again? ”

"It's true that they are Yuanzhen's minions, but they were also originally Tang people, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish them among our people. In addition, now that the border between the two countries and the alliance is open, it is very likely that they will return to the Central Plains. Princess Taiping said, "If there is only Mengjin Water Owl, it will be fine." But Wei Yuanzhong found traces of a person he shouldn't have found. ”

Xue Shao woke up, "Li Xiantong?!" ”

"Yes!" Princess Taiping said, "Originally, he should have died a long time ago, but he has survived until now. ”

"That's right......" Xue Shao took a deep breath, "Last time, he accompanied Wu Chengsi to inspect Hebei, and gave Wu Chengsi a lot of bad ideas. In the end, Wu Chengsi took Li Xiantong as a scapegoat and arrested him and put him in prison. It stands to reason that Wu Chengsi should kill Li Xiantong as soon as possible, so how could he let him go? ”

"It's not to release, it's to escape." Princess Taiping said, "I secretly heard my mother scolding Wu Chenghei, and Wu Chengsi had no choice but to admit it 1510. After he captured Li Xiantong and sent him to prison, he originally wanted to kill him, but just as he was about to do it, Li Xiantong escaped from prison with the assistance of a group of black-clothed assassins. Wu Chengsi panicked, so he had to find an unrecognizable corpse and burn it, falsely claiming that it was a prison fire and Li Xiantong had died. Now it seems that Li Xiantong is very likely to be a fellow party of Mengjin Water Owl a long time ago. The person who saved him was the Mengjin water owl. ”

Xue Shao nodded thoughtfully, "At that time, the border war was urgent, and Xue Laoshuai and I hurriedly returned to Daizhou, and we didn't care about Li Xiantong's affairs. I didn't expect this guy to be really dead but not stiff, and his ghost was still gone. ”

"So, you have to be careful." Princess Taiping said, "If you want to say that the person who hates you the most in this world, it is definitely Li Xiantong." Coupled with the fact that he is a fellow party of Mengjin Water Lord, it is possible that he is Yuan Zhen's person. They have disappeared for so long and suddenly appeared in the territory of the Divine Capital, most of them are coming for you. ”

Xue Shao lifted the curtain of the car, "Wu Ming, Guo An, from now on, we will be on strict alert and closely protect all family members." ”

The two agreed together, knowing that something big must be happening.

Princess Taiping looked at the car board with a strange light in her eyes.

"What are you thinking?" Xue Shao asked.

Princess Taiping said: "I'm thinking, it's always the enemy who is dark and I am clear, and I can't prevent it. What can we do to change this situation? ”

Xue Shao smiled: "Could it be that we also hide?" ”

Princess Taiping shook her head seriously, "The two of us definitely can't hide." But...... Your scouts and tribesmen can definitely hide. ”

"Makes sense!" Xue Shao's eyes lit up, agent spy warfare is my housekeeping skill, can I still be afraid of you ancients?

Back at home, Xue Shao called Wu Ming and Guo An to the study and gave them a secret plan. At dawn the next day, almost all of the two hundred scouts and subordinates around Xue Shao disappeared, leaving only a ten-person team led by Guo An as an entourage.

In Princess Taiping's mansion, vigilance has also been strengthened. Linlang and the twentieth class sword are responsible for protecting the women and children of Princess Taiping and Chen Xian'er. The duties of the moon slave are the most special, she put on the armor when she was in the army, and is responsible for leading the fifty armor soldiers who protect the Taiping Princess Mansion, and taking charge of the security duties of the Princess Mansion. These armor soldiers are the guards and honor guards specially given by Wu Zetian to Princess Taiping.

There was no need to go to court the next day, Xue Shao planned to spend more time with his family at home, and then go to the government office in the afternoon. At lunchtime, an unexpected guest came to the house.

- Helian Guchuan!

If it weren't for him suddenly appearing in front of him, Xue Shao would almost have forgotten that he still had a friend like him who was a big man in the green forest, and he was also Guo Yuanzhen's sworn brother.

Xue Shao waited for the wine.

"Mr. Helian, when did you return to Guanzhong?" Xue Shao asked.

Helian Guchuan immediately laughed, "In the whole world, only Xue Yuma will call me, a bandit, Mr. ”

"Heroes don't ask where they come from." Xue Shao smiled, "Haven't you been following Di Gong since you were released from prison?" ”

"That's right. Di Gong had finished his errand to appease Helong and returned to Beijing to hand over his decree. Helian Guchuan said, "When I arrived in Luoyang, the first thing I did was to come to visit my life-saving father, Xue Yuma. ”

"That's a big deal." Xue Shao smiled, "At that time, I was just a gesture, the key is that you have made meritorious contributions to your crimes, and the merits and demerits are offset before you can be pardoned." ”

"From now on, I will no longer follow Di Gong." Helian Guchuan said suddenly.

Xue Shao felt a little strange, "Why?" ”

"Di Gong is too upright and upright, and I am used to acting obediently after all." Helian Guchuan said, "Although Di Gong treats me very leniently and very kindly, I can't bear to cause trouble or smear my face. Therefore, I had no choice but to part ways with his old man. But despite this, I still have deep respect for Di Gong. He is the most admirable person he has ever met. ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Since the Tao is different, I have to conspire with each other." ”

Helian Guchuan's eyes suddenly bloomed, "Xue Yuma, do you dare to stay down?" ”

Xue Shao suddenly smiled, "I know why you came. ”

"Now that you know, then Xue Juma should be kept behind." Helian Guchuan got up solemnly, hugged his fists and bowed on one knee, "From now on, Helian Guchuan is Xue Yuma's personal part, and he will not give up when he goes to the soup and fire!" ”

"Please." Xue Shao said, "The trilogy is a cheap status, I don't dare to accept you as a trilogy, otherwise Guo Yuanzhen will not spare me." You can be a scribe to Princess Taiping's mansion, and you can have a name if you go in with me. ”

"It's all at the command of the horse!" Helian Guchuan glanced at it.

Xue Shao smiled, "You are Guo Yuanzhen's brother-in-law, that is also my brother." Brothers don't have to be so angry, sit down and talk while we drink. ”

"Good!" Helian Guchuan was very refreshing, sat down again with a wave of the sleeves of his robe, and poured a full bowl of wine to Xue Shao, "In this world, there are really not many people who dare to call Helian Guchuan brothers." Just for the word brother, I salute the horse below! ”

"Please!"

Three rounds of drinking.

Helian Guchuan said: "The Mengjin water owl reappeared in Guanzhong, I may know earlier than the Luozhou government. I used to do this, and it's still my job. Don't worry, I'll investigate the matter as soon as possible and report it to the Pony District. ”

"I believe in you." Xue Shao smiled and raised his glass, "Drink again!" ”

"Thank you, don't drink anymore." Helian Guchuan got up, clasped his fists and bowed: "Helian Guchuan is used to walking in the dark after all and has always been alone, so please leave now." If you want to summon me, you can send someone to Zhangtai Xiaozhu in Xianyang County to bring me a letter. There was only one little widow living in the seclusion, and it was my old friend. But if I have news, I will come and report it. ”

"Okay." Xue Shao casually untied the sachet on his belt and handed it over, which contained some luxurious spices and pearls, "You just returned to Beijing, you should be able to use this little thing." ”

Helian Guchuan unceremoniously stretched out his hand and took it, hugged his fists and said no more, and left.

Xue Shao looked at his back and smiled, and returned to the main hall to continue dining with Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping looked Xue Shao up and down, and said in surprise: "It's only been a short time since I drank all the wine, don't you have to go to the official office in the afternoon?" - Hey, where did I give you the sachet? ”

"Gave it away."

"You, you, you! ......" Princess Taiping was angry, "That's a sachet I made myself, and it contains a superb sea pearl that was paid tribute by the Silla Kingdom." Did you know that that one pearl can buy a high-grade village in the divine capital? - There are six of them in there, a full six!! ”

Xue Shao pursed his lips, "Gold and silver scatter people's hearts, didn't you teach me?" The sea hangs on my waist, no different from a dead fish. It was given to the heroes of the righteous Bo Yuntian, but it can play a great role. ”

“…… I'm! Princess Taiping glared at Xue Shao angrily, "You are really a loser!" ”

Xue Shao laughed, "I'm not a loser, how can it seem that my wife is rich and can run a family?" Don't be angry, open your mouth and take a bite of fish - ah! ”

Princess Taiping pursed her lips angrily, but obediently ate the mouthful of fish fed by Xue Shao, and then said, "That person is called Helian Guchuan, right?" Is it the last time you were released from the prison, Guo Yuanzhen's brother-in-law? ”

"Yes."

"The big nemesis of Mengjin water owl, I see." A smile appeared on Princess Taiping's face, "Next time he comes, remember to send some horses and swords and the like." ”

"My wife is wise. Gold and silver are scattered, and people's hearts are gathered! Xue Shao smiled, "Open your mouth-ah! ”
