Chapter 716: Single-mindedness

Xue Shao was really a little surprised when he first saw this letter, with his understanding, Princess Taiping certainly likes to play tricks in private, but she has never been a little woman like Lin Daiyu. What's more, she never dictates or gets in the way of her own business.

After thinking about it carefully, Xue Shao sniffed out the strange smell in this letter. The key four words "everything is in order", the implication is that he should stop caring about the mess between Hebei and Cheng Wuting, and get out quickly.

"Xue Concubine, how do you imagine it?" Wu Yougui asked with a smile.

Xue Shao squinted at him, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the little white face in front of him was smiling enough and underwhelming.

"What does this family matter have to do with you?" Xue Shao unhurriedly folded the letter and put it in his arms, and replied casually.

"The royal family has no family to do." Wu Yougui had a good mouth, and said unhurriedly, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Lord of the Equestrian Kingdom, you husband and wife and your heirs are extremely important to my Tang Dynasty. ”

Needless to say, Wu Yougui obviously knew the contents of the letter for a long time.

Through this small detail, Xue Shao can already imagine that this so-called "family letter" is actually a relatively euphemistic "secret order" from Wu Zetian. But anyone who is "sensible" should be wise to protect himself at this time, get out of the whirlpool of Hebei Cheng Wuting, take care of everything, and go to Chang'an like an arrow, and obediently accompany the princess's wife who is about to give birth.

"I have my own opinions, so I don't need you to intervene." Xue Shao replied to Wu Yu coldly, and then said, "Thank you General Wu for bringing me the letter." When I returned to Chang'an, I would like to thank you for the banquet. ”

"There's no need for a banquet." Wu Yougui still had a smile on his face, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and his tone was a little more "correct", "Why should Xue Yuma pretend to be stupid?" You know what this letter really means. ”

"What if I don't know?" Xue Shao said.

"Then I'm not afraid, I'll tell you what I'm saying." Wu Yougui suddenly became angry, stood up straight and said word by word, "The Queen Mother's secret order, let you return to Beijing immediately, and you must not do anything to ask about Hebei again." ”

"Where's the secret order? Show me! Xue Shao stretched out his hand.

“…… Password! ”

"There is no basis for words! Who knows if you're talking in the vernacular? Xue Shao scolded, "On the contrary, it is in my hand, holding the letter of appointment officially issued by the imperial court, ordering me to depose the important military and political affairs of Hebei with full authority." Weighing the two, Xue can of course only be subject to the imperial court decree! ”

"......" Wu Yougui was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and said: "Xue Yuma, I am indeed inferior to you in the war of words. If you have to pretend to be confused, I can't help you. But don't blame me for not reminding you, when you return to Chang'an, you won't be able to explain to the Queen Mother and her old man! - After all, I'm here for your own good! ”

"That's really thanks to General Wu's kindness." Xue Shao's face was expressionless and unmoved, and he said calmly, "Now there is only one thing left between you and me to negotiate-this way, do you want to let it or not?" ”

"If I do, what if I don't let it?" Wu Yougui's expression was full of hostility and provocation.

"Huh!" Xue Shao smiled instead, "Do you think you dare to argue with me just because you have a black-toothed Changzhi as a thug?" To tell you the truth, I'm here today to salute first and then soldier. If you insist on getting in the way, I don't mind letting you see the majesty of my tiger wolf! ”

"Xue Shao, you dare to rebel?!" Wu Yougui grabbed Xue Shao's heavy handle as if he had obtained a treasure, and shouted loudly.

As soon as he shouted, Chang Zhi and a group of generals outside the tent suddenly rushed in, and immediately blocked the military tent, and glared at Xue Shao one by one.

"Do you want to fall into the well because of the large number of people?" Xue Shao looked at them very calmly and said, "Wu Yougui, you don't want to frame me like this. I will do the emperor's order, and anyone who stands in my way can be regarded as committing chaos. Now that you are in the way of my army, I have kind words to persuade you not to give way, and I will naturally be able to exercise the privilege of being a messenger to cut first and then play. General Hei Tooth and all the generals, you all listen well, I, Xue Shao, will leave my words here today - or you will take me down and tie me up now; Or, I'll go back to the north bank and cross the river with my army in a little bit, and make a passage from you!! ”

Everyone is terrified!

"Xue Shao, you are too arrogant!" Wu Yougui shouted as he shrank behind Hei Zhi Chang Zhi and the others, "General Hei Yan, such a big rebel, you still don't take him into custody?" ”

Xue Shao laughed, stretched out his hands and waved at the black-toothed Chang Zhi and the others, "Come, come up and get me!" There are so many of you, there is no problem in taking me alone-General Blacktooth, you come first! I think you are also a famous general, don't let me look down on you! ”

Everyone stood still.

Wu You was in a hurry, "Black Tooth Changzhi!! Are you going to rebel too?! ”

It's good that he doesn't shout. When he shouted, the black tooth often turned around and left without saying a word. The other generals were stunned for a moment, and they also followed the Black Tooth Chang and left.

Wu Yougui was dumbfounded!

Xue Shao looked at him and smiled, and stretched out his hands at him, "Or, you come?" ”

Wu Yougui was stunned fiercely, turned his head and left.

Xue Shao laughed loudly in the tent.

"Black Tooth Changzhi, why don't you take it?!" After Wu You came back, the first thing he did was to roar at the black tooth Changzhi.

"General Wu, are you confused about eating too much wine and meat?" Hei Tooth Chang Zhi didn't give him a good face, and said coldly, "He is now a legitimate Hebei Qincha, with the privilege of the emperor's order." You say he's against it, but what about the evidence? ”

"......" Wu Yougui was robbed by him for a while, and his face turned white with anger, but he was speechless.

"Without evidence, how can you let us go about taking a special mission?" Hei Fang Changzhi snorted unceremoniously, "Doesn't that mean that you are teaching people to commit rebellion?" ”

"Good, good, you always have a reason!" Wu Yougui almost pointed his finger at the tip of the nose of the black-toothed Changzhi, and roared angrily word by word, "I have long known that you are fundamentally disobedient to the Queen Mother, and you have favoritism and selfishness towards Xue Cheng and the others!" ”

"General Wu, don't spew blood!" Hei Fang Chang was furious and shouted, "Don't we distinguish between indiscriminately obeying your orders and killing indiscriminately, and we are loyal to the Queen Mother?" Presumably, the Queen Mother, her old man, will never condone anyone with this kind of behavior! ――Now you say that Xue Shao is anti, but there is no evidence in your hands. If he really leads his army to kill the generals, then our army will have a reason to deal with it. Are you so afraid of Xue Shao, do you want to make him submit with a false accusation? ”

When the generals next to them heard this, they all echoed "yes, yes".

Wu Yougui's face also turned very quickly, obviously he didn't want to be angry, so he immediately changed his smile and said: "It's still the old man of the Black Tooth General, right, right!" - As long as Xue Shao dares to wave his army to kill, it will be a clear rebellion, and then the black-toothed generals and generals will not be merciful anymore! ”

"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me, I'll do my job then!" Blacktooth snorted.

Xue Shao heard their scolding in the tent, smiled secretly, and walked out.

"If the two generals don't plan to tie Xue Shao here, then Xue will leave." Xue Shao hugged everyone and turned around to leave.

The generals did not speak with different expressions, but they all returned the salute.

Only Wu Yougui said: "Xue Yuma, I advise you below, or think twice." If you insist on going your own way and really tear your face with us, you don't care if you win or lose...... You're probably never going back! ”

"A good horse doesn't eat back grass, no matter how bad Xue is, he won't even be like a horse." Xue Shao clenched his fists and bowed, "Farewell!" ”

"It's good to go!!"

Xue Shao and his entourage left.

Wu Yougui looked at the distant figures of Xue Shao and the others, and gradually smiled, "Good, good, it's really good!" ”

"I don't know General Wu, why are things so good?" Blacktooth asked.

"Looking at this situation, Xue Shao is determined to die to protect Cheng Wuting, and even does not hesitate to oppose the Queen Mother and become an enemy of the imperial court." Wu Yougui smiled coldly, "This is really a great thing!" ”

"If this is the case, an unprecedented civil war will break out in Datang, and the people will be poisoned." Hei Zhi Chang said angrily, "General Wu, this is the great thing you are looking forward to?" ”

"......" Wu Yougui was speechless for a moment, glared at Hei Yachang angrily, and strode away.

"Phew!!" Hei Tooth Changzhi spat hard at the ground, "Pigs and dogs are not as good!" ”

……

Xue Shao and his entourage returned to the village courtyard and immediately set off to prepare to sail back to the north shore. Before leaving, Xue Shao deliberately said goodbye to Xuan Yunzi and signaled that she didn't have to come with her.

"Young Marshal Xue treats me as an outsider, and Poor Dao doesn't mind." Xuan Yunzi said with a smile, "But Poor Dao has long been involved in this right and wrong, and it is impossible to get out." Now, Poor Dao will either stand on Wu Yougui's side, or he will stand on Xue Shaoshuai's side. The young marshal is driving me away now, is he making a choice for me? ”

Xue Shao smiled, "There is a high chance that I will become a traitor. ”

"No one can replace Xuan Yunzi and make a choice for her." Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, and lifted the dust in his hand lightly, "I'll go with you." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Xue Shao together.

Xue Shao looked at Xuan Yunzi fixedly for about ten seconds. Xuan Yunzi also looked directly into Xue Shao's eyes, without even blinking his eyelids.

"Let's go, the ship is waiting!"

Xue Shao turned over and rode first.

The moon slave happily mounted his horse and stretched out a hand to Xuan Yunzi, "Come, get on my horse!" ”

Not long after, Xue Shao and his entourage arrived at the fishing village where they landed that day, and they did not see the boat, but first saw countless soldiers and horses parked on the road at the entrance of the small fishing village. At first glance, it was densely packed with cavalry, as if they had just arrived, because the dust raised by the horses' hooves almost enveloped the entire small fishing village.

Xue Shaolema watched everyone stop in turn, and everyone's first reaction was that Wu Yu returned to the first and sent soldiers and horses to intercept it!

"Young marshal, let your subordinates come forward and investigate." Guo An asked for help.

Xue Shao was just about to nod when he saw a few horses rushing from the opposite side, "No need to ask, they have come forward!" ”

Everyone's heartstrings suddenly tensed. Guo An and the scouts vaguely held knives in their hands, ready for a bloody battle.

But as the rider approached, everyone's mood immediately changed from nervous to surprised.

A big banner with the word "Xue" fluttered like a flying hong.

"Second brother!"

This affectionate call, which he hadn't heard for a long time, made Xue Shaoda smile from the bottom of his heart, "Good brother, you want to kill me!" ”

"Chu Yu is here, I've been waiting for a long time!!"
