Li Caiyu has always had only respect for Chai Shao, but looking at his drunken appearance, he was only sad.

Respect is also mutual, when in the Eastern Capital, the relationship between Chai Shao and the Li brothers has always been not bad, especially with Li Shimin.

When Li Min's son lost his conscience, they happened to be there, although she was also surnamed Li, but she still hated Li Zhuguo's son.

That night, the three of them disguised themselves and entered the Li Mansion, just to save the helpless woman, but in the end it was Chai Shao who killed the woman, she did not blame Chai Shao, or in their opinion, death was also a relief for the woman.

When they went to rescue the woman, they didn't inform Xuanba, because in Li Caiyu's opinion, Xuanba was too much calmer than ordinary people, while Chai Shao was more hot-blooded.

From this point of view, Xuan Ba and Xiao Buyi are the same people, while Chai Shao and Shimin are the same type, and she feels that she prefers Chai Shao.

But she suddenly found that she was very wrong, Chai Shao and Shimin are definitely not the same people, at least Chai Shao entered the game in a daze, but Shimin was a cold bystander.

After returning to Taiyuan City, nothing happened to her and Xiao Buyi, she even felt that Xiao Buyi's gentleman was a little too much, calm and not like a person of this age, maybe she was not qualified enough to impress Xiao Buyi, Li Caiyu thought to herself.

For Xiao Buyi, she doesn't have too many feelings, Xiao Buyi is very good, but she doesn't like it, let alone likes it, who can like people who have only met a few times, at least Li Caiyu can't do it.

After breaking up with Xiao Buyi, Li Caiyu was waiting for her younger brother and Chai Shao to return at the city gate, and she decided to make it clear in person. The reason why many misunderstandings are getting deeper and deeper is just because the explanation is too late, but Li Caiyu still underestimated his younger brother.

Li Shimin may not be able to lead the army to fight now, but he surpassed his sister early in calculation.

Li Caiyu doesn't know Li Shimin, but Li Shimin really knows Li Caiyu too well, since he does something, of course he has to be thoughtful. He is not afraid of making up lies, because he knows that Li Caiyu will be helpless against him even if he knows, Xiao Buyi will not ask, what about Chai Shao, even if he asks, there will be a pimple in his heart. Li Shimin didn't expect to succeed in provoking once, but if there is suspicion between lovers, it is like a crack in a bowl, and it is always easier to break when knocking.

He took Chai Shao and did not enter the city from the right way, but went far to another city gate, of course, the excuse was that Yuxian Fang was closer, Chai Shao was lost, and he didn't delve into anything, let alone think that Li Caiyu would wait for him. Li Caiyu waited for a few hours without waiting for the two to turn around, and the blame had turned into worry, but he was afraid that Chai Shao and the others would have an accident. At this time, Li Shimin appeared in front of Li Caiyu with some distress and told Li Caiyu that there was no need to wait for Chai Shao, because Chai Shao was already drunk in Yuxian Fang, and it was very likely that he would spend the night there.

If it weren't for his own brother, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of people at the city gate, Li Caiyu would probably kick Li Shimin a few times, this guy would have done things without leakage, and there would be no chance for people to explain.

Li Caiyu went straight to Yuxian Fang and found Chai Shao in the strange eyes of a group of scoopers, girls and mothers.

She saw the scene she didn't want to see, although the weather was cold, the woman in Chai Shao's arms was wearing not much more clothes than a baby.

When Chai Shao treated her as a singer and grabbed her and wanted to spend the night with her, Li Caiyu finally couldn't help but explode.

Chai Shao covered his hot face and asked in disbelief, but Li Caiyu gritted his teeth, "Chai Shao, leave here with me." ”

"Who is this?" A girl asked, her face full of disdain.

"Most of them are Chai Gongzi's wife." Another girl said coquettishly: "Mrs. Chai, you really manage Chai Gongzi too closely, no wonder he is always sullen." ”

Chai Shao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What about Xiao Buyi?" ”

Li Caiyu turned around and left, Chai Shao couldn't help but pull, "Caiyu, what are you doing?" ”

He drank a little too much, and when he stretched out his hand to go out, Li Caiyu had already arrived at the door. Chai Shao suddenly burst out laughing, "Let's go, I know you'll go." ”

Li Caiyu stopped instead, looked back at Chai Shao, and didn't say a word. Coming here is already an unprecedented thing, she should say that she is under too much pressure, but she didn't expect Chai Shao to see her instead of leaving with her, but asking where Xiao Buyi is? This sentence really disappointed her!

"I know you're disappointed," Chai Shao seemed to have guessed Li Caiyu's thoughts, and continued to laugh: "Women always have to find an excuse when they leave, don't they?" You are disappointed in me, but you know that when I saw you and Xiao Buyi together, my heart hurt like pins and needles? ”

Li Caiyu had tenderness in his eyes at that moment, and Chai Shao said again: "But I understand now, I am not as good as Xiao Buyi, I am not as handsome as him, and my official position is very different from him, you are right to choose him, although I like you, but I also wish you happiness." Let's go, you go to him, you let me fend for myself, okay? ”

Li Caiyu stopped talking, Huo Ran turned around, and finally disappeared, but Chai Shao fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "Caiyu ......"

A group of girls surrounded them and said, "Chai Gongzi, Caiyu is gone, isn't there still us?" ”

"Get out, you all get out of here!" Chai Shao shouted angrily.

The girls looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this kid was sick. It can be seen that his eyes are red, and he is panting and pushing to the table and chair, as strong as an ox, and he can't help but be afraid.

When the girls left, Chai Shao picked up a wine jar and poured it down, after a loud sound of 'ping', the wine jar fell to the ground, shattered his bones, but Chai Shao fell to the ground softly, and he was no longer conscious.

**Li Caiyu also has a fire in her heart, and the first thing she did when she got out of Yuxian Fang was to find her younger brother.

She knew that there was no reason to talk to the drunk Chai Shao, so even if she wanted to say anything to Chai Shao, she had to wait until Chai Shao was sober.

When Li Shimin was found, he was also drinking.

However, Li Shimin looked sober and not sad, and seemed to be a little happy. Seeing his sister come to him, Li Shimin smiled and said, "I don't know what my sister is looking for me?" ”

"You know, Shimin, don't you think you've gone too far?" Li Caiyu forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Excessive, where excessive? I don't understand what you're talking about. Li Shimin poured himself a drink.

Li Caiyu snorted coldly, "Do you think you can fool me with this kind of trick?" You deliberately deceived Chai Shao that I was not there, and when Xiao Buyi and I went out to worship Xuanba, you set up an ambush and injured my horse, dug a big pit, and let me be alone with Xiao Buyi, but you talked nonsense to Chai Shao......"

Seeing that Li Shimin was still drinking, Li Caiyu grabbed the wine jug, "Shimin, let me ask you, is this true?" ”

"Really, and what's fake?" Li Shimin said indifferently.

"If it's true, you're disappointing me." Li Caiyu frowned and said, "Shimin, I don't want to blame you for many things, but I hope this is the first and last time." Xuanba has passed away, and now our brother and sister ......"

"Do you remember that Xuanba passed away?" Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, and Huo Ran stood up.

At this moment, Li Shimin is completely free of cynicism, only sadness and anger.

When Li Caiyu saw his younger brother's angry face, he took two steps back and asked, "Shimin, what are you doing?" ”

"What do I do?" Li Shimin took a long breath, "You don't know everything I did?" Didn't I do it for the sake of the Li family? If you remember Xuanba's death, you shouldn't have come to me today! Why did Xuanba die, not for the Li family? Xuanba can give his life to save the Li family from being killed, what did your sister do for the Li family? ”

Li Caiyu bit her red lips tightly and said in a lost voice: "What did you say?" ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "You should know what I say." With Xuanba's pure martial arts, even if he sneaks up on him, Li Shanfei and Wang Xuba may not be able to kill him, but he is still dead, why, because he knows that the life and death of the Li family have reached the first line, if he does not die, he will not be able to resolve this crisis! Li Min falls, Li valve falls, and our Li family will also be affected. You look at what has happened in the past year, which one is left with the surname Li in the eastern capital? If it is heavy, it will be beheaded, and if it is light, it will be exiled, how many people can be as beautiful as Dad? But you, as a daughter, have you ever thought that behind the current scenery of the Li family, it is the blood of Xuanba that flows! ”

Li Caiyu took a long breath and said in surprise: "You mean Xuanba......"

"Yes, Xuanba's shot is no different from suicide!" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly burst into tears, "The day before he died, he analyzed everything clearly with me, and his request to return to Taiyuan for burial has long been foresighted." I swore to heaven at the moment of Xuanba's death, Xuanba's blood will never be shed in vain, and I, Li Shimin, will shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the Li family from that day on! What if I could die, but what can I do now? I have nothing, no position and no power, what do I use to fight with others? ”

Li Caiyu was silent, her lips moved twice, but she didn't say a word.

"You think I take advantage of your sister's feelings, and you also think I'm sorry for Chai Shao, but I can only tell you that these are nothing compared to the interests of the Li family, if I do it all over again, I, Li Shimin, will still choose like this! Xuanba can die, what is it if I am scolded by your sister? Li Shimin said in a condensed voice: "Do you know how many people want Yang Guang to die now, and I also want him to die, but he is not dead!" ”

Li Caiyuhua's face was pale, and she scolded: "Shimin, do you know what you're talking about? ”

"Of course I do." Li Shimin said coldly: "Now everyone knows that in the siege of Yanmen, all the reinforcements have slowed down the rescue speed, and they only hope that the Turkic soldiers will conquer Yanmen and kill the faint king." I suggested that Yun Dingxing use the strategy of doubtful soldiers and not send troops, but I just wanted Yang Guang to die early. He bullied his father all his life, do you think I'll be comfortable as a son? But even if you are dissatisfied, what is the use of verbally shouting like the fourth child except for causing death? ”

Li Caiyu said after a while: "Shimin, don't tell others about this......

"This is the first time I've said it, and it's the last time I've said it." Li Shimin sat down slowly, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all, but the palm of the hand holding the cup was bruised.

"The land of Guanzhong is also the land of Sisai, there are many heroes, and the people are strong. According to the danger, the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Sui dynasties all prospered because of this......"

Li Caiyu was suddenly a little frightened, because she couldn't read this younger brother anymore, "Shimin, what did you say?" ”

"I just want to say that now it's time for the Li family to die," Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The position of Taiyuan is vacant, no matter who sits in this position, the marriage between the Li family and Xiao Buyi is always a life-saving chess." If my father can sit in the post of staying in Taiyuan, and my son-in-law is the general of the right Xiaowei of the imperial court, and he has countless military horses, if Li Xiao joins forces, which one in Shanxi can compete with us? Even if Yang Guang wants to deal with it, I'm afraid he can't do it. If the world is in turmoil, we will attack the Central Plains and retreat to Guanzhong, and the Li family can be protected. Speaking of this, Li Shimin's tone suddenly softened, "Sister, Xuanba can give up his life for the Li family, I can endure ridicule and white eyes for the Li family, can't you give up a Chai Shao for the Li family?" ”

"It's fundamentally different." Li Caiyu shook his head painfully.

Li Shimin Huo Ran stood up, "What's the difference?" Since you are a child of the Li family, you should focus on the overall situation, what is your feelings, but it is just a naïve thing, you have been poisoned too deeply by the legend of the wild goose returning to the mountain. Xiao Buyi is the most affectionate, as long as you don't touch his bottom line, he is lazy to pay attention to you. The obstacle to the marriage of the Xiao and Li families is not Xiao Buyi, but the naivety of Chai Shao and you. I knew that you were reluctant to Chai Shao, so I designed to help you get rid of Chai Shao, don't you still understand my hard work, you really disappointed me! ”

Li Caiyu retreated again and again, and there were already tears in the corners of his eyes, "Shimin, I beg you, don't force me, for me, feelings are not what you said." ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Since you believe in the relationship with Chai Shao, why are you afraid of my test, what kind of relationship is it if you can't stand the test?" Now that Chai Shao wants to be sincere to you, how can he be suspicious and easily depressed? Sister, I don't want to force you, but you'd better think about it before deciding. ”

Li Shimin got up and walked past his sister, but he only walked a few steps and stopped, and called out very calmly, "Dad!" ”

Li Caiyu Huo Ran turned around, and saw Li Yuan's tearful face, full of haggard...... ** Dongdu, Shanglin Garden, Qiluan Courtyard.

When Empress Xiao stood outside Qiluan Courtyard, her heart was filled with grievances and anger.

She is the person who has been with Yang Guang for the longest time, and when Yang Guang has never seen anyone, she also wants her to accompany her, but for more than ten days, she has not been able to see Yang Guang.

Since the fox spirit came, the saint began to ignore the government and politics, and did not go out on patrol, but just stayed in Qiluan Courtyard and stayed with the fox spirit.

Of course, the fox spirit is the fake Chen Xuanhua!

When she thought of the fake Chen Xuanhua, Queen Xiao had a creepy feeling, although she was the first to marry Yang Guang, she was no worse than Chen Xuanhua, but she had never fought Chen Xuanhua in her life, how could she fight with a dead man?

Chen Xuanhua died, leaving a regretful beauty in Yang Guang's mind forever, no matter how hard Empress Xiao tried, she still couldn't replace Chen Xuanhua's position in Yang Guang's mind. Empress Xiao was a little sad and a little happy, because no matter what, Chen Xuanhua was still dead.

But she never dreamed that Chen Xuanhua would come back from the dead. But it was definitely not Chen Xuanhua, and Empress Xiao didn't believe Huanyangyi's words, but the saint believed that this was more effective than anything else. Queen Xiao's heart is deeply sad, whether it is the dead Chen Xuanhua or the fake Chen Xuanhua, she is not comparable in her life, although she is a queen.

Seeing the palace maid walking out in a hurry, Empress Xiao asked nervously, "What about the saint?" ”

The palace maid shook her head and said, "Back to the queen, the saint said that no one will be seen today." ”

Empress Xiao was stunned there, her heart was sour, she was not like Yang Guang, for what great cause, she was only to keep a man in her life, but she didn't expect that in the end, it seemed to be in the arms of others.

When he was lonely, he wanted to leave, Yu Wenshu had already walked over from a distance, and when he saw that Empress Xiao was leaving, he hurriedly saluted: "Queen Wan'an." ”

Empress Xiao squeezed out a smile, "General Yuwen is flat." She only said a word, and then she turned around and left, of course she knew what Yuwen Shu's deferential surface was hiding, this Chen Xuanhua was the saint that Yuwen Shujin dedicated.

Yuwen Shu looked at Empress Xiao's back, her expression was no longer so respectful, and there was even a hint of coldness.

Of course, he had enough reason to hate Empress Xiao, because her distant nephew Xiao Buyi had buried his son's good future, and he wanted to cut the two of them with a thousand knives. However, he is old, so he calculates a lot, and knows that there is a reason why gambling is not for losing, although Yu Wenhua cried to him several times, but he always reprimanded him. He knew that a few sons were not a big deal, but after all, it was his son, and with Chen Xuanhua, he could win it back with interest at one time.

"Go and tell the saint that Yuwen asks to see him."

The palace maid was a little uneasy, "Lord Yuwen, just now Empress Xiao looked for the saint, and the saint said that no one would be seen today." ”

"I'll let you go." Yuwen said in a deep voice.

The palace maid didn't dare to offend, so she could only go in, and after a while, she turned around in surprise: "Lord Yuwen, please come in." ”

Yuwen Shu went straight into the Qiluan Courtyard and was led by the palace maid until he reached the big bed.

The curtain of the embroidered dragon hung down, and there were two figures in it, chuckling and greasy, Yuwenshu's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't look directly, and lowered his head and said: "Long live the saint, long live, long live." ”

"What?" Yang Guang's lazy voice came.

For Yu Wenshu, he has made an exception to meet him, these words, he only has one Xuanhua in his eyes, he wants to release his previous thoughts to the fullest, and never let Chen Xuanhua leave his side.

"Now that the New Year is approaching, there are more than 20 counties that have not been there in the history of the courts, and it is really because of the rampant banditry......"

"You and Wei Wensheng of the military department to discuss the matter of suppressing bandits, don't bother me."

"Holy Lord, the second thing is that the New Year is approaching, and the old minister has come to worship according to the envoys of Xuansi in previous years, and strive to let Mrs. Xuanhua see the grand occasion of the year again."

"Do it well." When Yang Guang heard Mrs. Xuanhua's words, he became somewhat interested, "Xuanhua, when the New Year comes, I will let you see the most wonderful scenery in the world." ”

Chen Xuanhua said softly: "Holy Lord, as long as you are around, it is the most beautiful scenery. ”

Yang Guangda smiled, but he had already kissed Chen Xuanhua's cherry mouth, Chen Xuanhua gasped, and said in a low voice: "Saint, there are outsiders ......"

"Yuwenshu, just step down if it's okay." Yang Guangwei was a little impatient.

Yuwen Shu said respectfully: "The old minister has nothing to do, it's just that Pei Yushi and Yu Shilang asked the old minister to ask the saint on his behalf, and Taiyuan stayed in his post......"

"Do it for Li Yuan, it's not something that has been decided a long time ago." Yang Guang said impatiently.

"Back to the saint, Li Yuan is not too much of a problem in charge of suppressing bandits in Shanxi, but now that the New Year in the Eastern Capital is approaching, I am afraid that the bandits in Henan will take the opportunity to make trouble, for the sake of the safety of the saint, the old minister suggested that General Xiao be summoned back to Kyoto to guard to ensure that the eastern capital is foolproof, I don't know what the saint wants?"

Yang Guang was a little hesitant this time, and was speechless for a while.

Chen Xuanhua laughed in a low voice: "Shengshang, I heard that this Xiao Buyi is really the first strange person in the Great Sui, Xuanhua wants to meet him." ”

"What strange man?" Yang Guang was puzzled.

Chen Xuanhua smiled and said: "Xuanhua heard that Xiao Buyi's encounter is strange, it is really rare in the Great Sui, just say that the year of the weak crown can sit on the right Xiaowei general, how many people?" ”

Yang Guang finally said: "Since this is the case, then Xuan Xiao Buyi will temporarily return to the Eastern Capital, but well, I don't see where he is strange." ”

A strange look flashed in Yuwenshu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

**Eastern Capital, Pei Mansion.

Pei Mingcui sat lonely on the chair, coughing lightly, and her subordinate Gao Shiqing sat opposite.

Gao Shiqing was still as calm as ever on the surface, but there was already uneasiness in his eyes, and he could see Pei Mingcui's anxiety.

"I've been back for a few days," Pei Mingcui muttered to herself, "But I still can't think of any way, and I didn't expect Yu Wenshu to make such a move." ”

Gao Shiqing said softly: "Actually, in my opinion, Chen Xuanhua's appearance may not be as serious as Miss imagined. ”

Pei Mingcui turned her head to look out the window, and said after a while: "Yuwenshu found such a person, how chaotic is it, do you know how long it will take?" In my opinion, it takes at least three years to reach the point of realism in terms of demeanor, voice, physiognomy, habits, etc. Three years is a conservative estimate, or it may be longer, do you think that people who spend so much effort will not have a surprising purpose? I've been keeping an eye on this woman's every move, but I still can't catch her fox's tail. ”

Gao Shiqing was silent, what Pei Mingcui was most convinced of was not rights, but observation and choice.

Pei Mingcui decided that there were few times when things went wrong, since she judged that Chen Xuanhua had a huge problem, but she was reluctant to make a move, was she also worried about something?

There was a rattling sound outside the window, and a pigeon flew in and rested on the table.

Pei Mingcui looked at it for a long time, then reached out and took the note tied to the pigeon's leg, opened it and looked at it, and sighed: "The Shengshang's decision to let Li Yuan stay in Taiyuan and transfer Xiao Buyi back to Beijing to escort him was the instigation of Chen Xuanhua and Yu Wenshu. ”

"They're going to attack Xiao Buyi?" Gao Shiqing frowned.

Pei Mingcui burned the note, was smoked, coughed violently, and when the coughing and wheezing subsided, her cheeks were already bewitching red.

Gao Shiqing said bitterly: "Miss Pei, your body is important. ”

Pei Mingcui suddenly laughed, her eyes full of desolation, "This New Year is a gamble, and if you win, you may get nothing." If you lose, the result is one word, death! In this case, it no longer matters whether the body is good or bad. ”

Gao Shiqing's heart sank, he had never seen Pei Mingcui so pessimistic, she didn't have a bottom, could it be that the delicate Chen Xuanhua in the palace was so difficult to fight?

**Xiao Buyi didn't know that the palace was in turmoil at the moment.

But he really has too many things to deal with now, and he has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the Eastern Capital. The position of the right Xiaowei general is high and powerful, but there are too many constraints, and every move is in full view.

Xiao Buyi can only sit in the General's Mansion and hand over what he wants to do to a group of subordinates.

Luckily, he now had enough men at his disposal, and Yuan Lan as his assistant.

Yuan Lan is not good in other aspects, but financial management is definitely a first-class means, they launched a Kanto horse dealer out of thin air, in the name of horse sales, Yuan Lan is responsible for the shipment, so that whether it is a cottage or a grassland horse, can be sold through this channel.

This channel is very secretive, Xiao Buyi wants to be secret, find someone to come forward, but the buyer will not come forward, and he doesn't know which one to sell to. But what he knows is that since the siege of Yanmen, Shibi Khan has forbade trading with the Central Plains, and the price of horses has soared all the way, and now it is much more valuable than people.

In this way, Shanzhai easily sold hundreds of war horses and made a lot of gains, which has made Xiao Buyi feel that the future is bright! However, he still kept the best horses and did not make a move, because in his opinion, he would eventually have a day when he needed to use these war horses!.
