The coolness of the body is far less than the chill in the heart.

Li Sheng'er didn't shout for a long time, but she seemed a little hoarse. He regretted going to the Qinglou a little, and he also regretted opening the window, but he didn't regret running to deliver the message, even though the Tang Guogong Mansion was surrounded by people, and there were a few arrows pointing at him.

Perhaps because he was surprised, the black-clothed man led by him was stunned when he found Li Sheng'er, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Release the arrow." ”

Li Sheng'er leaned against the door and closed his eyes in despair, he remembered that the money and silver on his body were still left in the Qinglou, and those money and silver were enough for him to spend a few more Spring Festivals in the Qinglou.

The arrow from the string rushed towards Li Sheng'er's body in the wind and snow, and just when everyone thought that Li Sheng'er would be the first person to die in the Tang Guogong Mansion tonight, the back door opened.

Someone pulled Li Sheng'er behind the shield, and the arrow was shot at the shield, making a "buzzing" sound.

"Why did you come to the Tang Mansion late at night?" The back door slowly closed, and a majestic voice sounded from behind the door: "If you say New Year's greetings, aren't you early?" ”

"Li Xuanba, don't pretend to be a ghost." Someone said: "Who in the world doesn't know, you rely on the military power in your hands, bully Your Majesty to be young, and don't put the court and Your Majesty in your eyes, we are here to come to the side of the Qing monarch for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent, not to mention, they have already released the arrow just now, and there is no point in any explanation.

"Qingjun's side? Are you worthy? Li Gou's arrogant laughter sounded, and he said coldly: "The gate of the Zhou Guogong Mansion is in front of you, if you have the ability, attack it." ”

Li Xuanba sat in the verandah, and when he saw Li Gou's victory in his hand, he couldn't help but shake his head, and chatted with Liang Xiao and Li Jiuzhi beside him.

"Second steward, let the master hide, there are so many assassins outside!" Li Sheng'er's tears were still on his face, he grabbed Li Gou's arm, and said excitedly: "The villain saw that many people were still on the way, and if they didn't leave now, it would be too late!" ”

"Do you see that your master looks scared?" Li Gou shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Do you think we don't sleep in the middle of the night just to open the door for you?" ”

Li Sheng'er's legs were still trembling, and his body couldn't help but tremble, he glanced in the direction of Li Xuanba, and saw that Li Xuanba was still talking and laughing with the people around him, and his heart became more and more nervous.

"You're scared?" Knowing that there was danger and running back to deliver the message, Li Gou looked at Li Sheng'er very pleasing to the eye, he patted Li Sheng'er on the shoulder, and quipped: "Don't worry, you go back to the house to rest first, it's cold, you are weak now, don't freeze." ”

Li Sheng'er thought that Li Xuanba and Li Gou were not afraid, they were alone, and what if they died, so she smiled honestly and said, "If the second housekeeper cares, it makes the villain more comfortable than what Xiang'er said." ”

"Get out." When Li Gou heard this, he didn't have to think about it to know who that Xiang'er was, so he scolded with a smile, kicked Li Sheng'er again, and sent him back to the courtyard of his subordinates.

The streets outside were quiet, and those people seemed to be waiting for something important, and they didn't rush into the Tang Guogong Mansion,

"Childe, what are you talking about?" Li Gou returned to Li Xuanba's side, squeezed Liang Xiao away, and said flatteringly: "The villain really admires Gongzi more and more, even if Brother Wuji is here, I am afraid that he will be impressed by Gongzi's intelligence." ”

"Sir, you complained a lot!" Before Li Xuanba could speak, Li Jiuzhi said: "Just now, the son said that those people outside are not as smart as you, sir. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how could Childe say such a thing." Liang Xiao grimaced and said seriously: "What Gongzi obviously said is that those people outside are more stupid than Mr. ”

Li Gou couldn't hit Li Jiuzhi, but Liang Xiao was not so lucky, he was viciously knocked on the head by Li Gou. The happy appearance of several people made the boys and girls standing in the distance envious.

Li Xuanba couldn't help but smile, and suddenly realized that his majesty seemed to be gone, so he hurriedly put away his smile, coughed lightly, and said: "The enemy is now, it's not the time to play around, you have been studying in Guozi for a few days, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, according to the villain's opinion, it is better to take Zhu Xu down directly, and the others will inevitably throw a mouse." Li Gou also regained his normal shape and replied seriously: "The matter is important, they must not dare to risk calling the soldiers of the imperial court, and it should not be difficult to capture Zhu Xu." ”

"Your plan is really good." Li Xuanba didn't bother to raise his eyelids, and said weakly: "Since what you said is so easy, this matter will be handed over to you, and my father-in-law will go back to rest first." With that, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Don't be angry, the villain is just talking nonsense." Li Gou laughed with him, asked Li Xuanba to sit down, and kept silent.

"As Childe said before, this heavy snow came too suddenly, and it is impossible to attack the Tang State Mansion." Everyone no longer paid attention to Li Gou, and Liang Xiao said: "They are secretly planning this matter, and the number of troops will definitely not be too much, but under the reputation of the son, they don't dare to take it lightly, so the villain thinks that they should be around 3,000 people." Isn't it ridiculous that three thousand rabble want to attack the Tang State Mansion? ”

"It shouldn't be that simple." Li Jiuzhi retorted: "With the help of Gongzi, the Zhu family has become one of the largest families in Jiangdu, and it is not difficult to secretly prepare weapons and armor. Moreover, since Zhu Xu dared to brave the snow to attack, how could he have no support? ”

"It's not a battlefield here, and there is not necessarily an advantage in numbers." Li Qifu didn't intend to speak, but seeing that Li Xuanba and the others were looking at him, he could only scratch his head and said, "Gongzi let us secretly enter the Tang State Mansion, isn't it just to kill the enemy?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Qijian again, as if to say, everyone else has expressed their opinions, you should always express something, right? Li Qijian didn't refuse, stretched out his index finger and pointed to the sky.

"Alas, you're going to fight and kill." After a few people finished speaking, Li Xuanba looked at the courtyard, half-lying down very casually, and said: "Qi Jian is right, what my father cares about most is the will of heaven." ”

Li Gou thought, it has snowed heavily all day, the meaning is not obvious enough? However, seeing Liang Xiao and the others frowning and thinking, he didn't dare to say it.

"I heard that Wan Guogong entered the palace today to visit Concubine Lan." Li Jiuzhi suddenly thought of a piece of news and said, "Maybe the news here can't be transmitted to the palace for the time being." When it came to Concubine Lan, Li Jiuzhi naturally didn't want to call Zhu Xu's name directly.

"Do you think my father hates me?" Li Xuanba nodded with satisfaction, and did not comment on what everyone said, and said lazily: "Why do you always want to harm your father?" ”

Although Li Xuanba is not a saint, what he does is beyond criticism.

As the most powerful person in the Southern Sui Dynasty, he did his best for the imperial court, and never did anything to hurt heaven and reason, even if he was a slave and miscellaneous servant of Zhou Guoki, he did not dare to bully others.

"It's just a crime." Li Gou replied suddenly, which immediately surprised Li Xuanba and the others.
