A look of surprise appeared on the pretty face of the snowflake girl, and she wondered: "Xuanyuan Shao? You mean the Captain of the Guard? ”

"Niangniang, don't forget his other identity." Liuli said softly: "He is a disciple of the first martial arts family of the Great Qin Empire, the Xuanyuan family has always had a great influence on the empire, and now the saint also relies on Xuanyuan Shao very much, as long as Xuanyuan Shao is willing to say a few words for his mother in front of the saint, the saint may be able to change his original intention." ”

Xuehua Niangniang frowned and said: "Xuanyuan Shao, I haven't had much contact, and this person is not easy to deal with." ”

Liuli saw that Xuehua Niangniang knew that Xuanyuan Shao was not easy to deal with, and knew that in the eyes of the world, Xuanyuan Shao was indeed a person who did not eat oil and rice, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, everyone who survives in this world is flesh and blood, and there will be no weaknesses." Although Xuanyuan Shao is difficult to deal with, it does not mean that it is unbreakable, Niangniang wants to realize her wish, and Xuanyuan Shao has to pass this level. ”

The Snow Flower Lady frowned and was silent for a moment before she said: "People in the world, if they want to buy them, it is nothing more than wealth, there are some treasures around me, but the Xuanyuan family has a lot of wealth, how can they take a fancy to my treasures?" I have also heard of the beauty, Xuanyuan Shao is over thirty years old, and now not only has he not married a wife, but he does not even have a concubine, he doesn't seem to like women. ”

"If Niangniang wants to buy Xuanyuan Shao with treasures and beauty, she will definitely fail." Liuli said softly: "Niangniang herself said that Xuanyuan Shao is not short of treasures and beauties. ”

Snowflake Niangniang was puzzled: "In that case, why would Xuanyuan Shao speak for me?" ”

Liuli's beautiful eyes flowed, and she chuckled: "Niangniang knows that the Central Plains Dynasty, if you want to gain a foothold in the imperial court, or even rise to prominence, it is bound to be inseparable from the harem." As far as I know, the Xuanyuan family did not have a female dependent in the palace, and the Xuanyuan family was as stable as a rock in the court, of course, because the Xuanyuan family made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, but another reason was also because the righteous prince Xuanyuan Pingzhang had a deep personal relationship with the first emperor, so he was able to make the Xuanyuan family stand and not fall! ”

Snowflake Niangniang blinked, her long eyelashes flashed, looking at Liuli, she looked very modest.

"The friendship between Xuanyuan Pingzhang and the first emperor was tempered from the sea of blood in the sword mountain, but now it is different from the past." Liuli said quietly: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, no one can guarantee that his position in the court is as stable as a rock, and Xuanyuan Pingzhang, the head of the Xuanyuan family, has recently passed away!" ”

Xuehua Niangniang was stunned, she naturally couldn't know that Xuanyuan Pingzhang was the Divine Guard, let alone the fierce battle that took place in the palace.

Although she was extremely inexperienced in politics, she heard what Liuli Fangcai said, and knew what Xuanyuan Pingzhang meant to the Xuanyuan family, and she was not much surprised when she heard that Xuanyuan Pingzhang was dead, but she faintly felt that Xuanyuan Pingzhang's death was obviously an extremely heavy blow to the Xuanyuan family.

"Are you saying that without Xuanyuan Pingzhang, the Xuanyuan family's position in the empire is not as stable as before?" Snowflake asked softly.

Liuli nodded slightly, "As soon as Xuanyuan Pingzhang died, Xuanyuan Shao became the first person in the Xuanyuan family." Although the saint attaches great importance to Xuanyuan Shao, the personal relationship between the two is far inferior to that of the first emperor and Xuanyuan Pingzhang, and the personal relationship between Xuanyuan Shao and the saint cannot guarantee that the status of the Xuanyuan family in the empire is as stable as a rock. Although Xuanyuan Shao's martial arts are very high, his archery skills are unparalleled, and he is able to command thousands of Praetorian Guards with ease, but his credit is not much, and the continuation of the Xuanyuan family has now pressed on him, and he must find a way to make the status of the Xuanyuan family still as unshakable as before. ”

"I see." Snowflake Niangniang understood something, and said in a low voice: "You mean, he needs someone in the harem to help him speak?" ”

"Exactly." Liuli smiled, beautiful and incomprehensible, and her voice was soft: "The new emperor ascended the throne and worked hard to revive the Qin State, this is the most chaotic time in the world, but it is also the time for the redistribution of forces." Xuanyuan Shao needs someone around him to say good things for him, ensuring that in the Xinjun era, the Xuanyuan family is still the first family of the empire, and Niangniang is in the palace, so naturally she can't have no connections in the court! ”

Xuehua Niangniang said: "Ma Hong, Lin Yuanfang, those people, to me!" ”

"Niangniang thinks they will be your allies?" Liuli immediately interrupted: "They are just people who tend to be inflammatory, and they were respectful to Niangniang at the beginning, but it was just because of the first emperor's favor for Niangniang, and when it comes to danger, they will never help Niangniang." Although they are still in the court, it is not the saint who values them, but now there is a lack of manpower in the court, and they still have the value of use, in my estimation, one day, the saint will kill this group of people who tend to be inflammatory, if Niangniang gets too close to them, not only will it not be beneficial, but it is very likely to suffer from it in the future. ”

Snowflake Niangniang couldn't help nodding, only to feel that Liuli's eyes were keen, far deeper than she could see.

"Niangniang doesn't have to think about having your people help you outside." Liuli sighed lightly: "When the Holy Lord really returns to the old capital and calms the world, how can the Holy Lord let your clansmen continue to stay in the Qin State?" Therefore, Xuanyuan Shao is Niangniang's most worthy ally now, once Niangniang really forms an alliance with Xuanyuan Shao, Niangniang's dream of ascending to the throne of the queen can not only be realized, but also from now on, there will be real forces that can be relied on in the Qin State. ”

Snowflake Niangniang heard Liuli's words, and a trace of excitement appeared between her eyebrows, and she said hurriedly: "Then what should I do next?" ”

"Although it is imperative for Niangniang and Xuanyuan Shao to form an alliance, but if you really want to do it, you must not be in a hurry." Liuli said softly: "If Niangniang can trust me, I can teach Niangniang how to bring Xuanyuan Shao over." ”

Snowflake Lady said happily: "Really? Can you really help me? ”

"Niangniang is wrong, I just said, I am not helping Niangniang, but helping myself." Liuli smiled sweetly, stretched out a jade-like hand, and gently put it on the back of Xuehua Niangniang's hand, "Only when Niangniang becomes the queen, I will be safe and sound in the harem in the future, and I will not be bullied by others." ”

Snowflake Niangniang immediately swore and said: "Don't worry, I mean what I say, if I become the queen, not only can I keep you safe and sound, but I will also help you become a concubine, in the harem, only under me." ”

Of course, Xuanyuan Shao didn't know that Xue Hua Niang and Liuli were talking about themselves behind their backs.

With the death of the first emperor and the ascension of the new monarch to the throne, Xuanyuan Shao's status does not seem to have changed at all, but he knows that some things have changed quietly, and no one can stop them.

In the recent past, Dingwu has hired a lot of newcomers, and the order in Hexi has been restored to order, Xuanyuan Shao watched coldly, and did not pay attention to these things, he knew very well in his heart, at least so far, Dingwu still trusted himself very much.

The Royal Guards are still under his command, and the defense of Wuping Mansion is handed over to the Guards, which means that Dingwu, like the first emperor, still entrusts his safety to him.

The Guards are naturally not comparable to ordinary local officers and soldiers, as we all know, the Royal Guards are the most elite and most effective legions in the Great Qin Empire, and they were and still are.

The order of Wuping Mansion seems to be calm, but in fact it is extremely calm.

Every move of the dignitaries in the city is in the eyes of the guards, for Xuanyuan Shao, Wuping Mansion has no secret to him, he has insight into the city, which means that Dingwu knows everything about the city.

Xuanyuan Shao's loyalty to Dingwu has not changed as he did to the first emperor.

He knows very well that the Xuanyuan family and the Great Qin Empire complement each other and are connected by blood, if the Great Qin Empire is a sword, then the Xuanyuan family is the sharpest blade on the sword, but once the sword is turned back, the blade is not there.

Once the Great Qin Empire collapses, the Xuanyuan family will also be annihilated with the collapse of the empire.

Since Dingwu came to Wuping Mansion, Xuanyuan Shao has to meet Dingwu alone every two days to report the situation in the city, and only two people can enter and exit at will without reporting to the temporary palace of the Hexi Governor's Mansion.

The guards guarding outside the palace are now familiar with Xuanyuan Shao's rule of once every two days, but when they saw Xuanyuan Shao suddenly coming over today, they were a little puzzled, because the time had not yet come.

However, Xuanyuan Shao is their top boss, and Dingwu has made a decree, Xuanyuan Shao can come and go at will, so naturally he doesn't dare to stop it.

When Xuanyuan Shao saw Dingwu, Dingwu was in a large room looking at a map hanging on the wall, this map was a map of the whole of Great Qin, but all the forces had been marked on it.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Dingwu turned around and saw Xuanyuan Shao, he was not surprised, but just asked, "Something happened that shouldn't have happened?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao clamped the tiger helmet under his right armpit, his white hair was like snow, and said respectfully: "Back to the saint, two people suddenly came to the city, and when they entered the city, they asked the soldiers guarding the city to take them to meet the saint. ”

Xuanyuan Shao's expression was still calm, he turned his head and still looked at the map hanging on the wall, and said lightly: "I have already set up a talent pavilion, if you want to enter the court to seek talent, you can go to the talent pavilion." ”

When Dingwu ascended the throne, the first will was to seek talents, issue an edict, and recruit virtuous and capable people, regardless of their background, as long as they have the ability, they can apply for the talent hall set up in Wuping Mansion City.

Xuanyuan Shao's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest: "Back to the saint, they claimed to be going to report confidential matters to the saint, and the ministers saw that they were in the dust, and it seemed that they had traveled a long way, and after asking, they learned that they were from Liaodong. ”

Dingwu raised his eyebrows, "Liaodong? ”

"One of them claimed to be Fan Wuqi." Xuanyuan Shao said: "He said that he was once a thousand households of the Liaodong cavalry, Liaodong three horsemen, black wolf riding, yellow armor tiger riding, red bei tu cavalry, this person used to be one of the eight thousand households of the yellow armored tiger cavalry!" ”――
