PS: Thank you for the encouragement from fkingbitch.

As soon as Chai Shao heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said angrily: "Li Gongzi looks down on him, and doubts Chai's courage? ”

Li Mi smiled, bowed his hand, and said, "I have no such intention, the guards on this road still rely on the Chai guards, don't you say, big brother?" ”

Dressed in blue satin clothes, Yang Xuangan, who was dressed as a businessman, also smiled, patted Chai Shao, who was sitting beside him, and said: "Brother Chai, Gongzi Li is joking, don't be angry, his last sentence is from the bottom of his heart, we have to rely on Brother Chai's protection on the way to Songzhou this time." ”

Chai Shao hurriedly whispered: "Uncle Yang, your skills are invincible in the world, how can you use Chai's protection, don't joke with me anymore." ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head, and said: "I just slashed a while ago, and now I haven't fully recovered, my right arm can't exert force now, I really want to run into the thief who robbed the road, and I really need your help." ”

Chai Shao sighed and said: "This is what Chai can't understand, why don't we leave the flat official road, we have to sneak out like this, and don't go to the official post along the way, is it necessary to take office quietly like this?" ”

Li Mi said: "Chai Guard, I remember that Ling Grandfather seems to have been the state assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, may I ask what he was like when he took office?" ”

Chai Shao said: "Naturally, he took office on the dignified avenue, and at that time, the ancestors of the family were Ren Suizhou and Liangzhou Thorn History, all of which were in Shuzhong, and they were not very stable, so they also brought hundreds of soldiers to take office." ”

Li Mi said: "That Lingzu is in office in the history of assassination in these two states. How do you get along with the officials of your subordinates? ”

Chai Shao was slightly stunned. Said: "The political affairs of the ancestors. How can I know? ”

Yang Xuangan patted Chai Shao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Chai, you have lived in the East Palace for a long time, and you don't know too much about the affairs of the state and county. Not to mention the small officials outside the establishment. So I want to go there before I go there, I want to find out the details of the officials there, so that I can have a number. ”

Chai Shao shook his head and said, "Do you need to be so troublesome?" When Chai was in the East Palace, he was also transferred to other teams, more than 400 brothers, all of them were uniform, and they directly ordered to command, and no one was naughty. ”

Li Mi snapped the open folding fan and said with a smile: "Chai Guard." You're talking about the military, and the army has military regulations. It is impossible to use military regulations to manage the prefectures and counties, and the guards of the East Palace are so obedient because if you violate your military regulations, you can kill their heads, and we can do this when we get to Songzhou? ”

Chai Shao nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems to be such a reason, so what are we going to investigate?" Find out who are corrupt officials and then report them to the court? I am happy to do this kind of thing to eliminate harm for the people. ”

Yang Xuangan waved his hand and said: "It's not so simple, I have more than 300 people under the state assassin history, most of them are not in the imperial court establishment, and my Yulu will also be distributed to them, so the same is true for the county commanders below, of course they must be caught if they go too far, but if they just make a little money and don't hurt the people, they will turn a blind eye." ”

Chai Shao sighed and said, "Although the emperor wants me to report every move of Yang Thorn History, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially reminded Chai that he must listen to Thorn Shi in everything." The last time Chai was in the East Palace, it was thanks to General Yang's efforts that he was able to save his life, and this life has long been handed over to you, no matter what you do, Chai will be the first to look forward to you. ”

Yang Xuan was moved in his heart, and nodded at Chai Shao: "With your identity as a genuine East Palace guard of the sixth grade, it is a bit condescending to follow me to Songzhou, and Yang will definitely let his father protect Brother Chai more in the future." ”

Chai Shao glanced at Xiao Er, who was still busy in the distance, smiled, and said: "Fame and fortune, Chai doesn't take it too seriously, the reason why he agreed to His Royal Highness the Prince's solicitation was because His Royal Highness the Prince was generous and benevolent, and he wanted to contribute to the country." ”

"In fact, this time to quell Yang Liang's rebellion, I have been trapped in the East Palace, and I have no chance to kill thieves and make meritorious contributions, which is a bit of a pity." With that, he also pounded the table gently.

Yang Xuangan said with a smile: "The current emperor is different from the previous emperor, he wants to do something in the future, and it is likely that there will be another move to conquer the Quartet, and when the time comes, a strong man like Brother Chai will always have the opportunity to make contributions." ”

When Chai Shao heard this, his eyes began to light up, and he said, "General Tuo Yang is auspicious." ”

Yang Xuangan glanced at Zhao Huaiyi, who was drinking tea, and said, "Steward Zhao, please go to Xiao Er to urge our buns, and eat them on the road, plus a drawer of cooking cakes, and use them as dry food on the road." Zhao Huaiyi squinted his little eyes and nodded, turned around and walked to Xiao Er, who was still steaming steamed buns in the distance.

Yang Xuan waited for him to go away, approached Chai Shao, and said in a low voice: "Those sons and daughters of the former prince Yang Yong, are they okay now?" I asked the fat man to take good care of these people before I left Daxing, how is the situation now? ”

Yang Xuangan made a promise to take care of Yang Yong's children before Yang Yong's death, and after Yang Yong's death, his favorite concubine Yun was accepted into the harem by Yang Guang, who had coveted his beauty for a long time, and Yang Yong's eldest son Yang Yan was called into the palace by Yang Guang as a guard, and the other sons were supervised.

Yang Xuangan discussed this matter with Yang Su, and felt that it was obviously inappropriate to directly adopt Yang Yong's orphans now, so he asked Yang Zhao to come forward and adopt these orphans in the East Palace.

Chai Shao told Yang Xuangan about the general situation, Zhao Huaiyi in the distance was thoughtful, and when he saw the frame of these three people, he knew that there was something important to discuss, and he also stood beside Xiao Er, and even stopped Xiao Er, who was about to deliver the buns, and stuffed a few copper coins in his hand, and asked him to go and steam a drawer of cooking cakes first.

After hearing this, Yang Xuangan sighed: "The fat man is really a good brother, I must thank him for his help when I see him again in the future." ”

Chai Shao waved his hand and said, "General Yang is too modest, in fact, the prince has been sighing that you are the real good person." It is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for their family. There will be good rewards in the future. ”

Li Mi heard this. Suddenly asked: "Then the Yun family is so ruthless to throw down their own son and transfer to the emperor's new harem?" ”

When Chai Shao heard this, he said indignantly: "Isn't it, this woman is really ruthless and unjust, her husband's bones are not cold, so she left her child to find a new love, it's really shameless." ”

Before the words fell, I heard a crisp voice behind me say coldly: "Who said that women are shameless?" ”

Yang Xuangan's scalp exploded all of a sudden. She had the impression that this voice came from the mouth of Li Xiuning, who made his right arm so that he couldn't lift it now.

Yang Xuangan turned his head and saw a beauty dressed in men's clothes, although she was petite, she still couldn't hide her peerless elegance, with a golden silk turban tied in a bun, a jasper hairpin tied on it, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, and a high nose. Although there was no heavy rouge, some powder was still applied. In the distance, a fragrant wind wafted in, and the fragrance entered the nose.

Li Xiuning was dressed in white and shengxue, with a good cowhide belt with a jade head tied around his waist, and a long sword hanging on the belt.

However, at this time, Li Xiuning was powdered with frost, and a pair of already big eyes were wide open, not looking at Chai Shao, who was talking, but staring at Yang Xuangan motionlessly.

Behind her, a strong man more than seven feet long, dressed in black and dressed as a servant, was standing with his arms crossed, looking about thirty years old, and his clothes were protruding everywhere with tendons and flesh.

Yang Xuangan secretly complained in his heart, and squeezed out a smile: "Li Xiao...... Li Gongzi, how did you get here? ”

Li Xiuning glanced at Yang Xuangan fiercely, but there was a trace of resentment and a trace of joy in her eyes, which made Yang Xuangan at a loss for a while, she didn't answer Yang Xuangan's words, but pointed straight at Chai Shao, and said: "Young Master Yang, you don't take care of this subordinate well, and you will talk nonsense when you come out." ”

Chai Shao was not in a very good mood, and when he heard this, he was even more angry, and he wanted to stand up and reason with Li Xiuning, but he felt a hand pressing on his already clenched fist.

Chai Shao turned his head to look, Li Mizheng smiled at himself, made a look, and pressed down with his other hand, making a slightly calmer gesture, Chai Shao then remembered that it was better to go out and have less trouble, so he turned his head hatefully and didn't look at Li Xiuning.

Li Mi is so smart, as soon as he looks at the person who is greased and powdered, the figure is slim, and there is no Adam's apple, he knows that it is a woman dressed as a man, and then when he hears her talk to Yang Xuangan like this, he suddenly understands most of his heart.

So Li Mi stood up, first saluted Li Xiuning's master and servant, and then asked politely: "Dare to ask this son, how did this companion of ours offend you?" ”

Although Li Xiuning began to follow Yang Xuangan and his party in Luoyang City, it was also because there were too many people in and out of the city in the past few days, and they were separated by a distance, so they left the city half an hour later than them.

When Li Xiuning went out of the city, he couldn't see Yang Xuangan and the others, and he looked at the horseshoe prints they left all the way and asked the roadside pedestrians to chase here, and as soon as he got off the horse, he heard Chai Shao's words scolding women, so he had a seizure on the spot.

Li Xiuning said angrily: "Your companion is so rude, in broad daylight, you still scold women like this when you go out, if there are no women, how did you big men come here one by one?" ”

Li Mi smiled slightly and said, "Oh? Isn't Childe also a man? Why do you say you big men? ”

Li Xiuning crossed his hands at the waist, proudly straightened his chest, and said: "This son is from a scholarly family, how can he be like you stinky men who lack courtesy, one is weak, one is speechless, one is fat with a bucket, and the other, and the worst, a negative man who escapes marriage!" When she said this, her eyes suddenly glistened with tears, and she bit her lip tightly, as if she was about to cry.

Yang Xuangan didn't dare to greet her eyes with a bit of resentment, so he quickly turned his head and suddenly met the strong man behind Li Xiuning, only to see that his face was also full of indignation, glaring at himself fiercely, as if he was about to pounce at any time.

Yang Xuan couldn't remember where he had offended this person, and he lost his mind slightly, but he heard Chai Shao's voice like a thunderbolt on the ground, rolling in his ear: "You are so rude, let's drink tea here and chat casually." You first eavesdropped on the side. Then he yelled at us. Who do you think you are? The two pectoral muscles are well trained, do you want to fight? ”

Li Xiuning was so angry that her face suddenly turned red, and she shouted at Chai Shao: "You barbarian is so vulgar, didn't your mother teach you how to speak well?" She roared so angrily that she forgot to suppress her voice, and the female voice like a pearl falling on a jade plate was suddenly unmistakable.

Although Chai Shao's observation ability is insufficient, after all, he has also walked on the rivers and lakes for two years before entering the East Palace, and he still has some basic judgment ability.

He didn't look closely in his anger just now. This time, I heard a female voice like a silver bell, and then I looked closely at the appearance of the son in front of me, especially the two obvious small holes in the ears, there was no doubt that it was a woman.

Chai Shao swallowed his saliva, first a trace of apology flashed on his face, and then he regained his toughness just now, but his tone was a little softer, and said: "You girl, you come out and wear men's clothes to be low-key, and you are as fierce as a man." Not at all like a lady. ”

Li Xiuning was so angry that his silver teeth clenched, and the strong man behind him roared angrily. Full of anger: "What a rude and lustful brute, his mouth is so unclean, it seems that I have to teach you a lesson today." After that, he raised his fist and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning no longer looked at Yang Xuangan, and stared directly at Chai Shao, his eyes were almost bursting with fire, but his voice became calm: "This strong man, do you think that women are inherently inferior to men?" ”

Chai Shao crooked his mouth disdainfully, and said, "Do you still need to ask?" In addition to the fact that women can have children and be a female celebrity, men can't compare, what else can they compare with men? ”

Li Xiuning didn't laugh angrily, she trembled for a while, but the laughter was full of anger, she looked at the bow Chai Shao was carrying, and said: "Your bow also looks like it has a three-stone strength, it seems that your archery skills should be good, do you dare to make a bet with this girl?" ”

Chai Shao said unto be outdone: "Bet on it, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" ”

Li Xiuning glanced at Yang Xuangan, his eyes narrowed into two crescents, and said: "That's good, you look down on women, then my woman will compete with you in archery, if you lose, just eat back what you just said, how about it?" ”

Chai Shao patted his chest and was about to answer, but Li Mi smiled and said, "What if the girl loses?" ”

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, and looked at Li Mi twice, she didn't pay much attention to this black and thin scholar at first, but after a careful look, she found that although this person was dressed ordinarily and his appearance was not good, he had a powerful aura under his calm appearance, so Li Xiuning thought about it and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Li Mi glanced at Yang Xuangan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is up to our eldest brother, what do you say, eldest brother?" ”

Yang Xuangan had been eager to find a crack to get into, so just now he saw Li Xiuning and Chai Shao arguing and didn't say a word, but he didn't expect to be directly named by Li Mi, and looked at Li Mi at a glance, but his eyes were full of meaning, he suddenly remembered that Yang Su had confessed to himself, and he should focus on himself and don't always count on others.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuangan took a deep breath, stood up, hugged his fist at Li Xiuning, and said: "Miss Li, this companion below spoke on a whim just now, if there is anything offensive in the words, please also ask the girl for the sake of our two friendships, raise your noble hand, I will accompany you on behalf of my brother." "Say a long bow and bow down.

Li Xiuning said suddenly: "Slow." ”

Yang Xuangan was slightly stunned, stopped his movements, and said, "What else does the girl have to advise?" ”

Li Xiuning sneered and said: "You are you, he is him, now is the festival between me and him, you don't have to take his own body for him, I won't appreciate it even if you bow down." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiuning paused, and his tone became softer: "Besides, your injury is not good, you should rest well, don't be strong." ”

Yang Xuan sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade him in this matter, so he asked, "Then what does Miss Li want?" ”

Li Xiuning pointed to an agarwood longbow hanging on the skull of his white jade lion in the distance, and his words were a little proud, and he was a little confident: "This girl is going to compare archery with him, so that he no longer dares to underestimate women, if he loses, he will eat back what he just said." ”

Yang Xuangan turned his head to Chai Shao and said, "Brother Chai, this Miss Li's words have been made very clear, are you willing to compete with her?" ”

Chai Shao said proudly: "Although it is the first time I have seen a woman who can ride a horse and shoot arrows, but looking at her small body, where can her martial arts be?" It's better than that, and if I lose, I'll eat back what I just said! ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said, "Miss Li, if you lose, please go home, how about it?" ”

Li Xiuning was shocked, his face changed greatly, there were faint tears flashing in his eyes, and his voice began to tremble: "You, you want to drive me away?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "The girl is Bingqing Yujie, and she is a famous lady, and she is alone with Yang on the road, and it seems inappropriate to spread it, so ......"

Li Xiuning suddenly gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say it, Yang Gongzi, I'll take your bet." ”

After saying that, Li Xiuning turned around and walked towards her white horse, without looking back at Yang Xuangan.

Li Mi quietly walked to Yang Xuangan's side and said softly, "Big brother, do you really want to drive her away?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled bitterly: "What else, can you keep her by her side all the time?" Seeing her like this, she should have run out by herself, if she is not allowed to go back, I am afraid that there will be a misunderstanding between the two families. (To be continued......)
