Xue Shao went to the Weishui camp and took Li Xiaoyi to complete the delivery of military power and various affairs. Li Xiaoyi did not dare to delay, and immediately decided to wave his army to Luoyang to join the main army and go to Yangzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Xue Shao personally made wine for Li Xiaoyi and others.

"Xue Yuma......" Li Xiaoyi said the wine, and immediately changed his words halfway through speaking, and said with a smile, "By the way, I should call you Young Marshal Xue in the army!" -- With these tigers and wolves under your command to help in the war, the old man's heart is as stable as Mount Tai. But the young marshal also knew that the old man was not good at marching and fighting. When leaving, I don't know if the young marshal has anything else to order? ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Don't dare to take orders." There is only one small building yì. ”

"Please also ask Xue Juma to give me advice." Li Xiaoyi humbly bowed his hand and bowed his hand.

Xue Shao said: "Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses under Li Jingye's command, most of them are rabble gathered to get rich overnight. To fight against such an army, we must be the first to win the momentum. As long as the first battle defeats them, they will lose their armor, and their confidence will be shaken and scattered. On the other hand, if they are allowed to gain the upper hand, they will fight more and more frantically, and then they will cause trouble and losses to their own army. In addition, the imperial court will also pay close attention to the battle situation ahead. Therefore, the first battle is very important! ”

Li Xiaoyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to Xue Shao with a look, and said: "The old man thanks the young marshal for mentioning his life, and he will definitely act according to the plan when the time comes!" ”

"Li Lianggong is polite." Xue Shao raised his glass and took the wine, "I wish Li Lianggong and all the soldiers a speedy victory!" ”

"Young Marshal Xie!" The generals spoke in unison, and everyone drank a cup together.

Xue Shao said to Xue Chuyu alone: "Brother, this expedition is different from the previous war against the Turks, after all, it is our own people in the Tang Dynasty who fight our own people. Therefore, if you can kill as little as possible, you should kill as little as possible. In addition, you are not familiar with that place in Yangzhou, don't be alone. In case of trouble, discuss with Wei Yuanzhong, and the commander's order cannot be violated. ”

"Second brother, don't worry, the little brother has remembered!" Xue Chuyu solemnly clenched his fists.

Xue Shao smiled and nodded, Xue Chuyu after the battle in Hebei was obviously much more mature and stable than before. Maybe it's because of his father's death, or maybe it's because he experienced life and death and later married and became a family, the current Xue Chuyu is not only heroic, but also has a calm and resolute masculinity.

"Good brother, I'll wait for you to come back and get drunk for three days!" Xue Shao patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, triumph as soon as possible!" ”

"Little brother, say goodbye to second brother!"

Xue Chuyu lifted the heavenly painting halberd above and turned over and rode on the Dawan good horse, and shouted, "Soldiers, go!" ”

Li Xiaoyi is the nominal commander, and Xue Chuyu is the commander of the army. The 10,000 elites selected from the right guard camp followed Xue Chuyu and galloped out, with extraordinary momentum.

Xue Shao stood on the podium and sent each other off with his fists, until the figure of the last soldier who went out to fight disappeared at the gate.

In a trance, Xue Shao had a feeling of loss. In the past, he walked at the forefront of the army and walked under the fluttering handsome flag.

"Young Marshal, shouldn't we go back?" Only the remaining Guo An reminded in a low voice, "Yesterday, the young marshal made an appointment with Brother Ling, and today the family banquet is small." ”

"Oh, yes." Xue Shao immediately woke up, there was such an agreement for a family gathering. At that time, the eldest brother and the third brother's family will come, and the demons and the Kudi family who have not been seen for a long time will also come.

"Let's go, go back."

The two horsemen walked out of the Weishui camp, looking a little lonely. Xue Shao was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and really wanted to go to Yangzhou with Xue Chuyu and them to fight.

The horse didn't walk fast, and when he reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Xue Shao saw a single rider walking slowly towards Zhongnan Mountain in the distance. Immediately, it seemed to be a graceful woman, quite familiar.

Like Shangguan Wan'er?

Xue Shao was even more curious, what is Shangguan Wan'er doing here?

So he sped his horse and prepared to go forward to confirm, but the horse also increased his speed and ran up the mountain. Xue Shao chased after him, but he couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he felt that it was very familiar and looked like Shangguan Wan'er.

Soon after, the rider stopped outside the Xuanyun Temple, and the female knight dismounted and walked straight to the Cloud Sea Wonderland behind the Taoist Temple.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be more curious, so he handed over the horse to Guo An for safekeeping, and he quickly followed the female knight to the Cloud Sea Fairyland.

Behind the Xuanyun Temple, the perennial clouds are steaming, and you can't see people clearly more than a dozen steps away. Xue Shao had just walked past Zhang Yao's tomb when he heard a low sobbing sound coming from the sea of clouds.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and walked closer to take a closer look--it's really Shangguan Wan'er!

Shangguan Wan'er wearing a bearded men's clothes.

At this moment, she was standing on the edge of the cliff of the sea of clouds, holding an old pine with both hands and burying her face in the middle of her palms, crying to herself and not noticing Xue Shao's arrival.

Xue Shao was surprised, what happened to make Shangguan Wan'er hide here alone and cry? …… Since the last time I left Luoyang, I haven't seen her again, and I haven't even seen her accompany Wu Zetian when I entered the palace. After disappearing for so long, what did she do?

Xue Shao stood for a long time, and he didn't take the liberty to step forward, so as not to break the embarrassment of the beauty. Shangguan Wan'er cried very sadly, at first she was just a low sob, and then she cried loudly.

Xue Shao's heart couldn't help but tighten, he was so sad, should he give up his life and jump off the cliff to find a short view, right?

Thinking of this, Xue Shao took a few steps forward and walked three steps in front of Shangguan Wan'er. At this time, Shangguan Wan'er still didn't notice that someone was coming.

"Wan'er." Xue Shao called softly.

"Ahh Shangguan Wan'er let out an exclamation, and the whole person was suddenly shocked, and her feet were unstable, and she fell down the cliff as soon as she stumbled.

Xue Shao suddenly felt a bang in his head, fortunately he quickly pulled her up, and the amazing power that burst out instantly dragged her into the air and crashed directly into his arms.

Hold on tight!!

This sudden change made Shangguan Wan'er like a lightning strike, and the whole person was stunned, and her red eyes widened with tears, staring at Xue Shao like a demon.

Xue Shao didn't want to jump down with her, so he picked her up in an instant, and immediately took a few steps back.

This qiē just happens between the lightning and the flint. Shangguan Wan'er only felt that her mind instantly became blank, and she felt that her life was over like this. But when she woke up, she actually found herself lying in Xue Shao's arms, her arms still wrapped around his neck.

"Loosen it a little, okay?" Xue Shao gritted his teeth, and his neck was really strangled very painfully. It's really no joke that people have the power to stimulate their potential and suddenly burst out at the moment of critical survival!

"Ahh …… Quick, put me down! Shangguan Wan'er finally woke up and hurriedly shouted.

Xue Shao carefully put her on the ground. The moment her feet touched the ground, Shangguan Wan'er immediately turned around and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Instead of rushing to ask, Xue Shao took a few steps back, giving her plenty of time and space to clean up her mood.

After a long time.

"Thank you Xue for coming to the rescue." Shangguan Wan'er turned around, didn't dare to face him, and bowed down.

"I almost hurt you, so how can I save you? It's good that the girl doesn't complain about me. Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Why did you come here?" ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er gritted her teeth and was silent.

"If it's inconvenient to say, then I won't ask." Xue Shao smiled indifferently and said, "I'm about to go back to Chang'an." Does the girl want to go all the way? ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er was still silent, she turned her face away and bit her red lips, her expression looked sad and stubborn, and her eyes were faintly red again.

"Xuanyun Temple is a women's Taoist temple, and I am familiar with it. If the girl doesn't want to go down the mountain, she can go in and rest, so I'll go and say hello first. Xue Shao sighed lightly, "Excuse me." Leave! ”

"Xue Luma, please stay!" Shangguan Wan'er's voice revealed a trace of shock, as if she didn't want Xue Shao to leave, she hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's okay, please Xue Yuma and I talk here for a while?" ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "This is my honor." ”

"Thank you......" Shangguan Wan'er turned around and lowered her head, wiping her tears again.

Xue Shao looked around, there was no stone table or stone bench or anything like that, at most there was only a big stone that the Taoist priests had polished from meditation. So he took off his cloak and laid it on a large rock.

"Girl, please be seated."

Shangguan Wan'er turned around and looked at it, and was immediately surprised, "Don Ma, do you know how expensive your dress is?" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Isn't it just a piece of clothing, it's okay, sit down and talk!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "I know this dress." This is the king of the Nanmarsh Kingdom, paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty made of a unique fire silkworm gold silk, which was used by the first emperor. After the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager ordered that the Nannuma Kingdom stop paying tribute, and the little inventory left in the inner court was given to Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping. It can be said that now this cloak is unique in the world, and it is priceless and even priceless! ”

"No matter how expensive it is, it's just a piece of clothing, and it's not as expensive as a big living person." Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Sit down, it's okay!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er gritted her teeth, still hesitated, and had to sit down.

Xue Shao saw that her sitting posture was a little awkward, and couldn't help but laugh, so he said, "Girl, do you feel that there is a city under the seat?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly burst into a smile, and her face turned red again.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xue Shao sat down next to her at a distance and asked softly.

Shangguan Wan'er was silent for a moment and said, "After I left Luoyang, I secretly went to Bazhou, and I just came back......

Xue Shao's heart suddenly popped up...... Bavaria? Where Lee Hyun was exiled?!

He suddenly stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "You don't want to die!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er trembled all over, obviously taken aback, turned her face away and blinked her eyes again and again, speechless for a while.

Xue Shao immediately took a deep breath to calm his feelings, sat down again, and whispered, "Have you seen him?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, and her eyes turned red again.

"What's going on?"

Shangguan Wan'er's tears suddenly fell, "He...... He's dead! ”

Xue Shao was shocked, and Dou Ran remembered Li Xian in history, as if he had indeed died during the period of Li Jingye's judgment!
