Liu Huaiyi has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has seen some of the world, and he has always been bold and not afraid of anything. In other words, it is an ordinary Dousheng Xiaomin, and it is true that he does not have the courage (let alone such a thick skin) to serve Princess Qianjin and Wu Zetian, two women who are nearly twice his age.

The bare feet and the courage of a bachelor who is not afraid of wearing shoes is vividly expressed in Liu Huaiyi's body. Therefore, after his first deeds in person, he dared to beat the officials of the imperial court on the street, and dared to connive at the hooligan monks under his command to bully men and women and even seize the land of the official mansion.

But when it comes to Xue Shao, Liu Huaiyi always shuddes in his heart for no reason. The first contact between the two was the change of name and surname. At that time, Liu Huaiyi thought that since the Queen Mother had already spoken and Princess Taiping had come forward to deal with her, this would definitely be a sure thing. Unexpectedly, Xue Shao turned out to be a tough bone who admitted death and had a bad temper, and he took the risk of offending the Queen Mother and blatantly refused!

This made Liu Huaiyi feel quite faceless, and he had complained more than once in front of Wu Zetian. At first, Wu Zetian just comforted him, but then he was a little annoyed, so he said to him: "Although Xue Shao's move is suspected of disobedience, but thinking about it deeply, his resolute and strong and non-discriminatory style of action is actually commendable and praiseworthy. Who is Xue Shao? -- A social and important minister in charge of the military, and a famous general of the town and country who shocked the enemy. In other words, he is a servile soft bone, can he carry such a heavy burden? …… Forget it, your surname is Liu! ”

Of course, Liu Huaiyi was speechless, but he hated Xue Shao and even the entire Fenyin Xue clan from then on. So he successively bullied several clansmen of the Xue clan in Fenyin, and they have always been peaceful. Unexpectedly, that time, he beat Xue Yi in front of the gate of heaven, but he was bumped into by Xue Shao.

What really made Liu Huaiyi afraid of Xue Shao from then on was that incident. He never expected that Xue Shao would dare to do it to him in public, and it was not light. Two guys are still lying in bed and can't get up. Liu Huaiyi's own wrist was also half-crippled for many days, and he couldn't even hold chopsticks.

It's one thing to be tough on the kung fu in your hands, Liu Huaiyi now believes what the Empress Dowager Wu said, Xue Shao is a stinky temper who doesn't eat hard and soft, and he can do anything if he really provokes him - he is the guy who is really not afraid of heaven and earth. Even the Empress Dowager Wu herself seems to have a little awe of the "resolute and strong" Xue Shao. Otherwise, how could she tolerate a man who was bullied by his subordinates in public?

"It's coming, it's coming...... What to do? Holding the hairpin, Liu Huaiyi walked around in his room, like an ant on a hot pot.

The appearance of this hairpin added a thick shadow to Liu Huaiyi's heart - no wonder Xue Shao dared to be so arrogant in front of me, it turned out that he had already pinched my life! In case the Queen Mother knew that I had another good relationship and had a daughter, she wouldn't chop me up and feed the dog in a fit of anger?!

"Dead, dead!" Liu Huaiyi was really panicked now, he knelt on the bed and covered his bald head with a pillow, pouting a big ass and shaking.

In this way, he scared himself and survived most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, Liu Huaiyi simply took out his heart and took out the courage of a single - "I can't hide it, I want to die or live, and I will see him again!" ”

It's dawn.

When Xue Shao was enjoying the millet porridge and vegetarian steamed cakes sent by Xiao Shami, Liu Huaiyi, who was wearing a new robe, came dressed up and smiling.

"Amitabha, Xue Juma is here, and our temple is not far away to welcome and entertain poorly, sin, sin!"

"Master Liu doesn't have to be polite. Haven't used your morning fast yet? Come on, let's do it together! After Xue Shao said this, Guo An and the others quietly retreated, took the door, and guarded outside.

There were only two people left in the meditation room, but Liu Huaiyi felt even more uneasy in his heart. Although Xue Shao in front of him was full of kindness with a smile on his face, Liu Huaiyi always felt that he was smiling with a knife in his heart.

"Master, sit down!" Xue Shao said politely.

"Okay, okay." Liu Huaiyi sat down nervously. Although he was indeed a little hungry, he didn't dare to reach for the food on the table.

"You're welcome." Xue Shao took the initiative to serve him a bowl of porridge, and handed him two steamed cakes on a plate, and said with a smile, "Why does it seem that I am the host and you are the guest?" ”

"Oh, sins, sins!" Liu Huaiyi woke up at this time, hurriedly helped Xue Shao serve porridge, waved his sleeves and wiped the plate with his new robe, and then loaded two steamed cakes and carefully handed them to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao really couldn't help but want to laugh, Liu Huaiyi looked like a junior who ran the hall now, well, his movements were quite sharp and skilled, and he dared to love him for doing this job before.

The two ate breakfast in silence.

"Is the master busy today?" Xue Shao asked suddenly.

"No, not busy!" Liu Huaiyi's heart trembled when he heard his voice, and he immediately remembered when he replied, "Oh no, the little monk has to enter the palace today to participate in a Buddhist meeting." ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I am also in a hurry to rush back to Luoyang to take up a post at the official office, why don't we go together after breakfast and talk while walking?" ”

"No, no, if you have anything to say, let's just say it here?" Liu Huaiyi said again and again with a smile on his face.

"That'll do fine." Xue Shao smiled slightly and put down his chopsticks.

Liu Huaiyi hurriedly stopped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and sat up straight. It's like an elementary school student who hears "stand up for class".

Xue Shao smiled disapprovingly and said, "Recently, I encountered a troublesome matter, and I want to ask the master for a favor. ”

"Speak, please." Liu Huaiyi listened seriously.

"The imperial court has recently allocated a sum of land from the public office to Shangwutai under my rule, a total of six hectares. However, when my officials went to manage the fields of the Gonggong, they found that more than half of the land had already been forcibly taken away by others. Xue Shao said, "Master, you see, without Gongqi Tian Shangwutai, there will be no source of income, and naturally it will not be able to maintain daily operations." Shangwutai was founded by the Empress Dowager and her old man. Now that something has gone wrong, I really can't explain it to the Queen Mother and her old man! ”

Liu Huaiyi is not stupid at all, Xue Shao's words have been said about this, where can he not understand what it means?

"Puff puff", Liu Huaiyi slapped his chest loudly, "Xue Concubine, don't worry, the affairs of the Queen Mother and the affairs of the concubine, that is also the matter of the little monk." This little thing is wrapped up in the little monk, and it will definitely be done as quickly as possible, and it is absolutely necessary to make Xue Yuma worry-free, rest assured, and comfortable - ho ho ho! ”

Xue Shao's straight eyes, are you doing an advertisement for tampons?

"What, is there anything else Xue Fuma has to do?" Liu Huaiyi asked cautiously. He also knew in his heart that a few acres of Gongtian were nothing to a figure of Xue Shao's level, and he was not worthy of letting him come on this trip in person.

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Do you still like the gift I gave to the master?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Huaiyi shuddered all over, grinned and shook his face, and muttered without a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's very, I like it." ”

"That hairpin is good!" Xue Shao picked up the linen cloth on the table, wiped his hands, stood up, smiled and said, "It's not early, I have to rush back to the official office." ”

"Wait, wait!" Liu Huaiyi gasped and stared at Xue Shao with wide eyes, almost in a pleading tone, "Don Ma, what do you want?" ”

"Me? What can I think of! Xue Shao smiled, with an innocent expression, "But the master is so eager to stop me, what do you want?" ”

Liu Huaiyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva very nervously, and turned his heart sideways, "You and I opened the skylight and said brightly, don't you go around the bend?" ”

Xue Shao smiled and sat down calmly, "Yes." ”

Liu Huaiyi also sat down, drank half a cup of tea first, was stunned for a long time, and muttered, "They, are you okay?" ”

"I don't know." Xue Shao shook his head.

Liu Huaiyi was stunned, "Aren't they in your hands?" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Who told you?" ”

"What about this...... Hairpins? Liu Huaiyi took it out of his arms.

"I don't know where it came from." Xue Shao said indifferently, "One day, it suddenly appeared on the bookcase in my home. Along with it, there is also a bloody letter of retribution. I've checked, but it wasn't from my house. Then there is only one possibility, it is a high-tech eaves and wall-walking knight, quietly put in. ”

"A bloody letter of revenge? There is also a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, "Liu Huaiyi's scalp is a little numb, he has heard a little bit of the wind of "Hongmen", and when the two are associated, it really seems to be the same thing!

"But I'm not an official who adjudicates the law after all, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help with such a thing." Xue Shao said, took out a blood book that had been prepared a long time ago, and threw it on the table.

Liu Huaiyi hurriedly picked it up and took a look, and it was really a letter of redress accusing him of Liu Huaiyi's unkindness and abandonment of his wife and children. Cheng doesn't know how to read and hyphenation, and there is no doubt that this letter of redress must be ghostwritten by others, but the tone of this speech is really like hers!

Liu Huaiyi was so frightened that he was really a little out of his soul, holding the blood book, he knelt down on Xue Shao's knees, "Xue Yuma, this is slander, slander!" You are as wise as a torch to distinguish right from wrong, you must save my life! ”

"Master, please get up." Xue Shao helped Liu Huaiyi up with a smile and said, "If it weren't for helping the master, I wouldn't be here today." ”

Liu Huaiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, "The horse is righteous, and the little monk will be rewarded!" ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Xue Shao smiled indifferently and said, "This matter, that's the end of it." You know me, I know, God knows, I know. You don't want to send people around to search for Cheng's mother and daughter, this kind of movement is tantamount to your own violent life, and sooner or later you will suffer disaster. ”

"Okay, okay, just listen to the horse!" Liu Huaiyi promised again and again, and complained bitterly in his heart - he didn't expect to be taken by him first, this person is really scheming and ruthless!

"You and I, since we are both close confidants of the Queen Mother, not to mention sincere cooperation, at least we should be safe, so as not to put the Queen Mother and her old man in a dilemma, what do you say?" Xue Shao said.

"Yes, yes, what the colt said is very true!" The fate gate was strangled to death, and Xue Shao's words were also said to this, where could Liu Huaiyi not be interested, and hurriedly said: "From now on, the little monk will never dare to offend the place of the horse in the slightest...... No, no, the little monk is willing to live and die with Xue Yuma, and share blessings and misfortunes. As long as Xue Juma passes a word, the little monk is willing to look forward to the horse's head and go to the soup to die! ”

"Master, it's serious." Xue Shao smiled indifferently and bowed, "It's not early, Xue has said goodbye - master, please stay!" ”

"The horse is easy to walk, easy to walk......"

Xue Shao took his men and left.

Liu Huaiyi sat down dejectedly, the beads of sweat on his head rolled down, soaking the newly worn robe.

He was muttering to himself alone—

"It's too dangerous!"

"It's so desperate!"

"This Xue Shao is really different from other ministers of civil and military affairs!"

"Seriously...... I can't fuck it! ”
