-- Time goes back an hour --

"Why did His Highness conclude that the Taiping Army intended to eradicate ...... What about His Royal Highness King Yan? When approaching the entrance of the side hall, Xie An asked the biggest question in his heart.

At this time, the remaining four people under Li Mao's [Five Tigers] were separated by Li Xian's excuse, and the only remaining Youdou was entangled by his confidant Ji Hong, so Li Xian didn't hide it, and said with a chuckle when he heard the words, "Lord Xie thinks that the Taiping Army is more powerful than my Great Zhou...... Which is stronger and which is weaker? ”

Needless to say?

Xie An raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "As far as the government knows, since the Taiping army was defeated in Jinling and Wuhu back then, it has been keeping its head in obscurity, forbearance, and accumulating strength in secret, but it is ...... compared with the national strength of my Great Zhou" Speaking of this, he shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the Taiping army.

"Exactly!" Li Xian smiled slightly when he saw this, and said, "If the Taiping army confronts my Great Zhou head-on, it will definitely be defeated, but this group of rebels is hiding in the dark, eating at the foundation of my Great Zhou on the one hand, and creating incidents on the other hand, shaking the stability of my Great Zhou, making the hearts of the people in the world unstable, this is where Xiao Wang is concerned......

"Does His Highness Xian mean that the Taiping Army also intends to repeat their old tricks and create chaos in the northern Xinjiang?" Xie An asked curiously.

As soon as the words fell, he heard Li Mao snort and said disdainfully, "If those thieves dare to make trouble in Wang Beijiang, come and kill one by one!" ”

Li Xian smiled faintly when he heard this, looked back at Li Mao and said, "With the imperial brother here, the Taiping army's anti-thieves naturally dare not do too obviously, which is also the reason why those anti-thieves plan to get rid of the imperial brother!" ——Just because the imperial brother sitting in the northern Xinjiang is my Great Zhou royal family, naturally he will not be in the same stream as the rebels, so if the Taiping army intends to create trouble in the northern Xinjiang, it must be the first to get rid of the imperial brother! ”

Hear that. Xie An nodded secretly.

In his opinion, although Li Ji, the son of the day before yesterday, is not an excellent father, but he gave birth to a godson is really not simple, take the fourth son of the emperor in front of him, Yan Wang Li Mao, for example, since this person sat in Yuyang, the weakness in the north before the Great Zhou Change, not only repeatedly resisted the invasion from the grassland tribes, but even counterattacked the grassland several times, according to Xie An's father-in-law Sun Jing, who served as a scholar in the military department. Li Mao had organized six expeditions in the past few years, defeating and exterminating three powerful tribes on the grassland, making the grassland now chaotic like a hundred kingdoms fighting.

According to the war report recorded in the Ministry of War, Li Mao's treatment of the tribes on the grassland was very iron-blooded, and he was quite domineering [those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die]. Except for the Moon Wolf tribe like Youdou, who was willing to become a vassal of Northern Xinjiang, the rest of the tribes that chose to be hostile to Northern Xinjiang were all exterminated by Li Mao with heavy troops before and after, but all grassland men who were taller than the wheels, even after being defeated and captured, were also slaughtered, which also made Li Mao, the original King of Xiang and the current King of Yan, spread the name of murder all over the northern Xinjiang and the grassland, saying a word without exaggeration. In northern Xinjiang, Li Mao's sentence was much more effective than Jijing's holy decree.

Such a powerful feudal prince, if it is a person with a foreign surname, most of the Taiping army will choose to win over. But unfortunately, Li Mao is the royal family of the Li clan of the Great Zhou, how can he be in the same stream as the Taiping army?

Think about it, like Li Wei, Li Shen, Li Mao, Li Cheng, Li Xian. Although they were all staring at the emperor's position before, they even sometimes did not compromise their means. But they have never turned their backs on the Great Zhou, after all, the Great Zhou is the country established by their ancestors, and the first lesson of the princes is to know what can and cannot be done.

Because of this, if the Taiping army wanted to create chaos in northern Xinjiang and divert the attention of the Great Zhou court, they could only get rid of Li Mao.

"I see, I see" Thinking of this, Xie An gradually understood the meaning of Li Xian'......s words.

"One more point," staring at Li Mao and Xie An for a while, Li Xian lowered his voice and said, "This is just Xiao Wang's private speculation...... In order to consolidate the stability of our big periphery over the years, the imperial brother has created a lot of killings in the grassland, and at present, the grassland people are afraid of the prestige of the imperial brother and dare not act rashly, but how can this hatred be easily resolved? And if the royal brother dies...... I'm afraid that the Taiping army only needs to send a lobbyist, and the grassland people will be able to take revenge on my Great Zhou desperately! ——When the time comes, there will be Rongyi in the north and trouble in the north, and the Taiping army in the south waiting for an opportunity to rebel......

"Humph! ——How can the grassland still have the strength to counterattack my Great Zhou? Li Mao pursed his lips when he heard this, his expression was indescribably arrogant, but his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of solemnity.

“…… Therefore, Xiao Wang concluded that this time the imperial brother came to Jijing, and there must be the Taiping Army [Six Divine Generals] by his side, to see if he could wait for the opportunity to eradicate the imperial brother and blame this incident on Jijing...... Therefore, as long as we create the right time for it and throw the bait, we are not afraid that the big fish will not bite the hook! ”

Looking at Li Xian's sworn appearance, Li Mao and Xie An nodded in unison.

……

……

Ah, an hour ago, Xie An admired Li Xian very much, and based on the information at hand, he deduced the intention of the Taiping Army, which made him feel a little lucky: how lucky it was to have a brilliant and extremely wise man on his side.

However, now, seeing that the bright sword was about to fall into his head, Xie An couldn't help but want to scold his mother in his heart, because the development of the situation and the root described by Li Xian are two different things!

!

Putting on an oath, what do you say Li Mao is the person the six gods are going to kill, in that case, why is there a sword hanging over my Xie An's head at this time?

Who am I messing with?

What is the [Eight Sages King] who is higher than the eight buckets and wiser than the heavens, he is not reliable!

Xie An scolded in his heart.

But then again, although he was startled at first, when Xie An changed his mind, he also settled down, after all, he was protected by two first-class heroines, how could he let the owner of that sword succeed?

Sure enough, before the cold sword fell on Xie An's head, he heard a coquettish reprimand, and then, after a muffled sound, when Xie An raised his head again, he saw that Na Le Xu had been knocked down by Liang Qiu Wu The sword in his hand. Then he grabbed the placket of his clothes, and punched Le Xu in the chest with his right hand, spitting blood from Le Xu's mouth, and his body was shaky.

"Poof......" Na Le Xu obviously didn't expect that Liang Qiu Wu had never been fascinated by the wine mixed with sweat medicine, and he didn't check for a while, and was punched by Liang Qiu Wu, holding his chest and half-kneeling on the ground, unable to stand up.

"Why are you ......" Le Xu looked at Liang Qiu Wu in surprise, and he was about to ask why Liang Qiu Wu was not fascinated. found that Xie An also raised his head, and then Li Mao, Li Xian, Ji Hong, eldest grandson Xiangyu and Jin Ling'er also raised their heads one after another, looking at him with different expressions.

"You, you ......" Le Xu looked shocked.

Looking at his stunned appearance, Xie An smiled slightly. "Do you want to ask, why haven't we been fascinated by the wine mixed with sweat medicine, right?" - It's easy! As he spoke, Xie An lifted the sleeve of his left hand, only to see that the cuff was wet.

Obviously. After Xie An was in the process of drinking, he poured all the wine mixed with sweat medicine on his sleeve as a courtesy.

Seeing this, Le Xu opened his mouth. Speechless, after looking at Xie An blankly for a while, he said in surprise, "You...... Did you know I was drugged in the drink? "Speaking of which. He turned his head to look at Li Xian and Ji Hong, as if he was surprised why they hadn't been hit. After all, he had been paying attention to Xie An, and he didn't find any signs of Xie An reminding Li Xian and Ji Hong.

Looking at Le Xu's shocked and uncertain appearance, Xie An smiled slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who seemed to notice her husband's gaze, covered her lips with a fan, and giggled.

It turned out that just when Xie An was in trouble for how to inform Li Xian, Li Mao and others, the eldest grandson Xiangyu came over.

"What's so hard about that? Look at the slave family's ......" threw a wink at her husband Xie An, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu picked up the wine cup and chuckled at Li Mao and Li Xian, "This time, the two highnesses went to the mansion to go to the banquet, and the concubine has not toasted to the two highnesses, which is really rude...... By the way, speaking of which, these days have passed so fast, the slave family remembers, the last time I ate wine with the two highnesses, it was nine years ago, right? ”

For some reason, it was obviously a reminiscence, but Li Mao and Li Xian showed an extremely strange expression after hearing it, looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in a daze, and then glanced thoughtfully at the wine cup in their hands.

"Please!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu said with a smile.

Under Xie An's puzzled gaze, Li Mao and Li Xian glanced at each other, quietly raised the wine glass, covered the glass with his sleeve, raised his head, and drank the wine in the glass.

Well, it looks like it's drunk, but in fact, both Li Mao and Li Xian secretly poured the wine into their sleeves like Xie An.

No, when Li Xian raised his left hand and showed Le Xu his half-moist sleeve, Le Xu's face suddenly turned pale.

So is your Highness......

As if thinking of something, Le Xu subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Mao, but was stunned to see that Li Mao had come behind him at some point, pinched his throat with his left hand, and lifted him up.

"Joy continues...... I really didn't expect it to be you! The tiger stared at Le Xu with wide eyes, Li Mao's face was flushed, and the green tendons on his forehead were beating frequently, which was enough to prove how angry His Royal Highness King Yan was after he found out that he had been betrayed by his subordinates at this moment.

"Temple...... Your Highness ......" Le Xu, who was choked by the throat, spat out two words with difficulty.

It's good that he didn't scream, but when he called, Li Mao's eyes were even more fierce, and his right hand punched Le Xu's chest, forcing Le Xu, a strong man weighing nearly two hundred catties, to fly upside down for several feet, smashing it on the wall, and smashing the one-person-high ceramic vase erected on the side of the wall.

Hiss......

Xie An'an gasped bitterly, after all, that tall ceramic vase was a set of two, although it was not priceless, but at least it was worth a thousand taels of silver, and now it was good, one of them was broken by Li Mao, and the other one was still a fart!

"Temple...... His Royal Highness ......" Le Xu vomited blood again and again in his mouth, struggling to get up in a pile of ceramic shards, and a trace of incomprehension and doubt flashed in his eyes when he looked at Li Mao, but it was a pity that his figure was blocked by Li Mao, so that Li Xian, Eldest Sun Xiangyu, and Xie An did not notice that something was wrong.

"I didn't expect it...... I really didn't expect ......" After saying two sentences, Li Mao still didn't let go of Le Xu, stepped forward and grabbed his head and picked it up, and then slammed it against the wall, only hitting the ground Le Xu's head was bleeding.

"Brother Huang, stop!" Seeing this, Li Xian hurriedly shouted to stop, after all, he still planned to keep Le Xu, the six gods of the Taiping Army, to ask some questions.

I heard that Li Xian blocked it. Li Mao stopped at this time, stood in place and let out a long breath, still with a look of anger on his face.

At this time, Ji Hong had already gone outside the hall to draw a basin of cold water and came back, and poured it on the faces of the other four of the Five Tigers in Northern Xinjiang one by one.

But seeing Zhang Qi, Cao Da, You Dou, Wu Heng and the other four people waking up leisurely, they glanced around suspiciously, as if they were wondering when they were drunk and unconscious.

Suddenly, Cao Da noticed Le Xu, who was lying on the side of the wall covered in blood, and asked in shock. "Temple...... Your Highness, this ......"

Hearing Cao Da's questioning, Li Mao exhaled viciously, gritted his teeth and scolded, "This person is the [Six Divine Generals] who are mixed in my northern Xinjiang." Hiding by the king's side, in order to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the king! ——This time, the king, the eighth child, and Lord Xie jointly performed this scene, in order to find out the thief! ”

"Is that so?"

"How dare you plot against Your Highness?" Zhang Qi and the others' faces changed greatly, and when they looked at Le Xu, their eyes showed a little resentment.

"I really didn't expect it," looking at Le Xu and shaking his head with a sigh, Wu Heng muttered, "I didn't expect to be among the Five Tigers in Northern Xinjiang." There was actually a Taiping army [six god generals]...... Your Highness, what should you do with this thief? ”

Hearing this, Li Mao glanced at Le Xu, who was almost unconscious, and said in a deep voice, "Leave one of his dogs alive for the time being." The king also asked him something about the Taiping army! - Zhang Qi, take it down! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Qi clenched his fists to lead the order, stepped forward and countered Le Xu's hands behind his back, and then dragged it up entirely.

Watching Le Xu, he snorted repeatedly. Li Mao turned around and hugged his fist towards Li Xian. said in a rare sincere tone, "If it weren't for the emperor's clever design this time, I'm afraid that the foolish brother would still be kept in the dark by this thief!" ”

It would be great for Li Mao, who has always had an invincible personality, to say this, Li Xian hurriedly bowed his hand and said humbly, "Brother Huang's words are serious, with the imperial brother's eloquence, it is not difficult to find out this thief, and the imperial brother does not dare to take credit...... saying this, but he couldn't help but show a little smug on his face.

Looking at Li Xian's self-satisfied look, Xie An pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

Why don't you dare to take credit, this thing is not the same as the root you described, right?!

You said that the goal of the six gods is to get rid of Li Mao, so it's my business? Why did that guy find me? Am I a little like Li Mao?

Hey?

Something seems wrong......

Then why did Lexu kill me?

Could it be that he planned to kill me, and then escaped in the name of the Six Divine Generals, and planted the crime on Li Mao's head? So that the Jijing Imperial Court accused Li Mao of conniving at his subordinates to commit murder and assassinate the first-class officials of the dynasty?

Even so, it can provoke conflicts between Li Mao and the imperial court, but if it is for this reason, wouldn't it be better to kill Li Mao?

Obviously, Li Xian's unreliable guy has created such an ingenious opportunity for him to commit crimes, as long as Na Le continues to kill Li Mao here, even if he opens his mouth all over his body, he can't tell, why, why did that guy kill me? Isn't this the opposite of the opposite?

Could it be ......

This person only saw that he had taken the love of Li Mao, the king of Yan to whom he was loyal, so he held a grudge and wanted to kill himself......

In other words, this person is not one of the six gods!

Thinking of this, Xie Anxin sighed, after all, Li Mao had just told him about the conspiracy with Li Xian and Xie An, if there were really six gods of the Taiping Army lurking among the five tigers in Northern Xinjiang except for Youdou and Le Xu, it would mean that he had already been startled, and if he wanted to find out that person in the future, it would be even more difficult......

What to do?

Seeing that Li Mao and the others were about to escort Le Xu to leave, Xie Anzhong was very anxious, because he knew very well that Le Xu would not be able to open his mouth at this time, and after he went back, he would not be able to open his mouth, and it was not difficult to guess that Le Xu would be killed by the real six gods of the Five Tigers in Northern Xinjiang, so that he could sit on the name of [Six Divine Generals], so that the real six gods would be able to eliminate suspicion.

In other words, if you can't find this person now, you won't have a chance in the future!

But who is it?

Is it Zhang Qi, whose martial arts are far above Qin?

Or Cao Da, who lost to Fei Guo a few days ago?

Or is it Wu Heng, who has not been visible so far?

Xie An thought to himself, and suddenly, he heard Youdou not far away asking Cao Da beside him with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, Cao Da...... His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness Xian have a Taiping Army, what is this Taiping Army for? ”

"How do I know!" Cao Da shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't see that His Highness is angry?" ”

After hearing the whispered conversation between You Dou and Cao Da, he finally realized where the vaguely wrong feeling he had just felt came from.

Just now, someone in the room said something extremely unreasonable.

Habitual thinking......

I was almost deceived by habitual thinking......

However, the good thing is that the other party also committed the same negligence!

As if he had figured out something, Xie An suddenly laughed, pointed in the direction of Le Xu and said to Li Mao and Li Xian, "Two highnesses, I caught the wrong person, General Le Xu is not the Taiping Army [Six Divine Generals], the real Six Divine Generals, but this one!" Speaking of this, he raised his right hand and pointed at Wu Heng of the Five Tigers behind Li Mao.

"What?" Li Mao and Li Xian's faces changed slightly, and they subconsciously looked at Wu Heng, compared to Li Xian, Li Mao's expression was even more exciting, after all, if Le Xu was not the six god generals, it meant that he had just hit the wrong person.

"The last general has no grievances with Lord Xie, why does Lord Xie want to slander the last general?" Seeing the eyes of everyone in the room looking at him, Wu Heng said with a worried face.

"Slander?" Xie An chuckled, looked at Wu Heng, pursed his lips and chuckled, "When His Royal Highness King Yan pointed at General Le Xu and scolded him angrily, he only said that it was [Six Divine Generals], but General Wu Heng added the words [Taiping Army]...... General Wu Heng, tell the government, why do you know that the [Six Gods] general is a member of the Taiping Army? ”

"Aren't the six gods the people of the Taiping Army?" Wu Heng's eyes showed a little doubt.

"Really?" Xie An chuckled lightly and asked Youdou, Zhang Qi, and Cao Da, "Do the three generals know?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.

Never expected it to be like this, Wu Heng's expression changed slightly, and after taking a deep look at Xie An, the corners of his mouth slowly raised a faint smile.

"Huh! - That's a ...... Unexpected! ”

ps: Whew, I have a cold, I feel so uncomfortable - it's the season of change recently, and the big guy comes out and wears more clothes to avoid suffering from that.
