When I entered the gate of the county government, I saw the court where the government decided the case, and the official led Li Xuanba to bypass the court and come to the backyard. In front of the door of the backyard, there are the county orders and officials of the government.

"Lord Zhongyongwei." The county official arched his hand and invited Li Xuanba into the courtyard.

The backyard is simply laid out, planted with some flowers and vegetation, and other than that, there is only one path.

Qiushuang was waiting for Li Xuanba in front of the room, and Li Xuanba walked through the path and walked in front of Qiushuang without saying a word. Qiushuang opened the door, and Li Xuanba did not hesitate at all, and walked into the room.

In addition to Yang Ling, there was also the coachman in the room.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess." Li Xuanba saluted, Yang Ling motioned for Li Xuanba to sit down, Li Xuanba thanked him and sat down at the next position.

"If your father doesn't give an order for a day, you are still loyal and brave, and you don't need to bow to the palace." Yang Ling opened his mouth and said, "Injured soldiers, can you settle down?" ”

"Princess Law is bothered and is settling down." Li Xuanba replied.

"They are injured because of this palace, and if this palace does not pay attention to it, it will chill their hearts." Yang Ling looked at Li Xuanba and said calmly, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"The princess was assassinated in Hedong County, and the Li Mansion was responsible for the ineffective guards, but in the process of the assassination, the traitors did not attack the carriage of the grass people, presumably because they had some relationship with the Li Mansion, so they opened the net." Li Xuanba ignored Yang Ling's surprised expression and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the grass people think that this matter should be reported to the emperor and the Li Mansion should be thoroughly investigated. ”

"Do you really think so?" Hearing Li Xuanba's words, Yang Ling became puzzled: "Don't you think this matter is too obvious?" ”

"A vulgar person can see the benefits and harms, of course, it is too obvious." Li Xuanba replied. Yang Ling understood that Li Xuanba pleaded guilty for Li Fu, but it was just another way to exonerate Li Fu.

"Actually, I know that this matter has nothing to do with the Li Mansion." Yang Ling said: "But this matter is too strange, not to mention why we know the whereabouts of this palace, the arrows used by those people are not like ordinary traitors can be made." ”

"The grass people just inquired and learned that this group of rebels is well-trained, whether they are assassinating or retreating, they are very disciplined, and they must not be the remnants of the rebels who were eliminated by their father, as for who they are, the grass people really can't think of it." Li Xuanba shook his head and said.

"If you can figure it out, it's weird." Yang Ling said in a voice that only he could hear, lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Li Xuanba: "This matter should wait until I return to the palace and report it to my father, and let my father's sacred heart dictatorship." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the grass people have something to ask for." When Li Xuanba heard this, he stood up and knelt in front of the princess.

"This palace said, you are a loyal and brave guard, don't pretend to be a grass people, and don't kneel at will." Yang Ling said angrily: "This is the will of my father, do you plan to resist the will?" ”

Li Xuanba didn't know why Yang Ling was suddenly annoyed, so he quickly stood up and said, "The lower official knows that he is wrong, please calm the princess's anger." ”

Yang Ling also felt that he was out of shape, and said in a calm tone, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Recently, the court has not been peaceful, Your Majesty must be worried because of the rebellion, and the lower official asks the princess not to tell Your Majesty about the attack." Li Xuanba replied.

The attack on the princess was a major event, and it was related to the face of the imperial court, and Li Xuanba actually asked Yang Ling to do nothing that happened, and Yang Ling couldn't help frowning.

Without waiting for Yang Ling to answer, the coachman beside her preemptively said, "Do you know that this is the crime of defrauding the king?" ”

One will resist the decree, and the other will bully the king, Li Xuanba feels that his head may not be his own at any time, but he did not show any emotion, and replied calmly: "If Your Majesty takes the initiative to ask, the princess should tell the truth, but the emperor did not ask, this is not a bully." ”

"Why?" The coachman raised an eyebrow and asked again.

Reason? Do you want to tell you that my father will destroy the Sui Dynasty in the future and become emperor in Chang'an?

"The attack came too suddenly, and the princess is safe, which is a great blessing." Li Xuanba arched his hand and said: "Here, thank you girl, for keeping the princess thoughtful, so that my Li family did not suffer from the disaster of annihilation." ”

If the princess is attacked and killed, His Majesty is furious, and the fate of the Li family can be imagined.

The princess's coachman was a woman, and her face was quite delicate, but she was always wearing a robe, and she was covered with a black veil, so that no one found out that she was a woman. At this time, the woman had already taken off her coat, took off her hat, and revealed her true face, and Li Xuanba noticed her.

"Lord Zhongyongwei is polite." The woman arched her hand and said, "It is the duty of the official to protect the princess, and the lord does not have to admit it." Let's explain it to an adult. ”

"Of course, the princess was attacked, of course, we have to investigate, but I haven't caught an assassin, where can I start investigating this matter?" Li Xuanba said: "If Your Majesty makes an order, a time limit will inevitably be set, and it will be my Li family who will suffer at that time." ”

"Perhaps, this was originally a conspiracy against the Li family." Yang Ling rubbed his head and said, "Forget it, put this matter aside for the time being, Sister Yuan, you go out first, I have something to say to Zhongyongwei alone." ”

Yang Yuan hesitated for a moment and bowed back.

"The princess is not afraid of danger, and the officials admire it." After Yang Yuan left, Li Xuanba complimented.

After that incident, what is there to be afraid of? Yang Ling smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "This matter will be handed over to my uncle-in-law to investigate." ”

"Thank you, princess." Li Xuanba breathed a sigh of relief.

"You seem to be very wary of your father?" Yang Ling stared at Li Xuanba and asked casually.

"The lower officials don't dare." Li Xuanba hurriedly got up, bowed down and said.

"If my father knew what you were like now, he would be very sad, I really don't know if it's right or wrong for you to go to Luoyang." Yang Ling sighed and said, "You have really changed a lot. ”

Li Xuanba didn't know what Yang Ling meant, so he didn't dare to answer.

"Zhongyongwei, I promised you not to tell my father about this, can you answer me a question?" Yang Ling saw that Li Xuanba didn't answer, and the feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

"Princess, please ask, the lower officials must know everything." Li Xuanba replied.

"When my father gave me a marriage, if you saw what I was like before, would you still refuse?" Yang Ling was not shy, his eyes did not dodge, and he asked casually.

"Huh?" Li Xuanba didn't expect the princess's thinking to jump so fast, and he didn't react for a while.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you refuse it or not." Yang Ling said: "You go down, this palace is a little tired." ”

Li Xuanba scratched his thinning hair, saluted, and gently withdrew.

"Princess, is that really it?" After Li Xuanba left, Qiu Shuang walked into the room.

"Let's just pay him back." Yang Lingyi said happily: "He is really not him anymore, but what he owes him still has to be repaid." ”

Seeing Yang Ling's expression, Qiushuang was a little distressed, so she hugged her. The princess was only fifteen years old, and it was just when her feelings were hazy, when she suddenly gave up and cried in Qiushuang's arms.
