Li Xu looked at the sunlight shining through the window, and then picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of tea.

"I never believed in King Jian," Li Xu said, "He has always been good at playing with people's hearts, he never saw me when he was alive, and he didn't leave a word, why did he value me so much after he died?" ”

Li Xu's expression was serious and calm.

Zhou Yue was worried that Li Xu would be lost because of his background, but now he is a little relieved.

Li Xu said: "If it weren't for me, everything you see now would still happen, before I came to Northern Xinjiang, they had made many arrangements in private, and now they just pushed me out to attract the attention of the imperial court and Song Chengxuan." ”

Zhou Yue was very surprised, although Li Xu asked him to follow Mr. Lu before and asked him to inquire about various news, but he didn't see too many clues from it, and he didn't expect Li Xu to get such an answer.

Zhou Yue said: "Then isn't it very dangerous for you to be like this?" Why don't we find a way out, I can't watch you ......"

Li Xu smiled: "I have seen through it as early as when they said that I am the son of King Jian, I have already told you that the reason why I stayed is because I am worried that the war will implicate the people, maybe I can reverse the final result here." ”

Zhou Yue heard this and completely understood: "So you asked me to gather troops and horses to guard the difficult river guard, I am afraid that the Tatars will take the opportunity to attack the Great Zhou." ”

Li Xu nodded: "Maybe you will meet people from the Haixi tribe there, your Zhou family has also been an important minister of the border for generations, they will be less wary of you, you join forces to defend the checkpoint, as long as the Tatars are not allowed to come, no matter what the slaves do, the court will always send troops to pacify." ”

Zhou Yue's eyes were firm: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you do a good job in this matter, the generals we know in the Zhou family are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and we will not bow to the Tatars if we die on the battlefield." ”

"Also," Li Xu said, "you must remember that anyone who wants to cross the Great Zhou Pass and join the Tatars, whether they are members of the Nuergan tribes or the men of King Jian, will be killed, lest they take refuge in the Tatars." ”

Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel a little moved, Li Xu was in a ruin, and he was determined to reverse the overall situation.

After Li Xu finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Yue: "No matter what the final result is, even if the imperial court knows my identity, you will not be implicated, because what you do is to guard against the Tatars and defend the checkpoint of the Great Zhou, if you ...... When the court interrogated you, you said that you didn't know my relationship with King Jian, and you would definitely be able to survive this difficulty. ”

Zhou Yue was moved when he heard this: "I took someone to the river guard, what are you going to do?" In case the imperial court has already suspected you, and Song Chengxuan is biting you to death, wouldn't you be very dangerous. ”

Li Xu's eyes were far-reaching: "I can't care so much, this arrangement is already the best result, I never thought about myself, maybe...... No matter how you look at it, it's the same ending. ”

Zhou Yue's hands clenched tightly: "Why are things in the world always so unfair." ”

"Go ahead," Li Xu's expression did not change, "do what we have to do, as long as we have a clear conscience." ”

Zhou Yue wanted to say something more, but finally opened his mouth without making a sound, he turned his head and left the house, and Zhang Hu outside called Zhou Yue: "Uncle Zhou, are you leaving?" ”

Zhou Yue nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Hu's shoulder, the two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say, and after a while, Zhang Hu said: "We used to follow Prince Jian, listening to the dispatch of Lord Gao and Mr. Lu, these days I am guarding outside, watching Gongzi busy for Da Zhou, we brothers admire Gongzi from the heart, no matter what happens, we will stand with Gongzi." ”

"Mr. Lu......" Zhou Yue did not continue.

"We will keep an eye on him, I didn't expect them to collude with the Tatars, even if King Jian wants, we can't be with them, we have already thought about it, in case something happens, we will do our best to protect the son."

Zhou Yue's eyes were slightly moist, no matter what the final result was, Li Xu did it, and did not let King Jian fiddle, but let the people around him be loyal to him.

"Uncle Zhou, be careful."

Zhou Yue nodded: "I hope we still have a chance to meet." ”

Zhang Hu said: "Definitely." ”

Zhou Yue no longer hesitated and strode out of the courtyard.

Li Xu continued to look at the official document in his hand, everything he could think of had already been arranged, but he knew that Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan must have other arrangements.

"My lord," the steward entered, "Lord Yujiang is here." ”

Li Xu stood up, Yu Jiang did not take Mrs. Li and Li Changyan back to Beijing but appeared here, he must have received a secret order from the emperor.

This is what Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan meant, letting someone trusted by the emperor come to monitor his moves.

Yu Jiang stood at the door and looked at Zhang Hu and the others, and finally waited for Li Xu to go out, Yu Jiang put on a friendly smile: "How can you work hard Lord Li to greet you." ”

Li Xu immediately stepped forward to greet Yu Jiang: "Lord Yu is polite, if there is something important in the imperial court, please come to the house with me to talk about it." ”

Yu Jiang looked at Li Xu, what Grandma Song said was right, this Li Xu was by no means an ordinary person, he tortured Mrs. Li and Li Changyan strictly, but Li Xu seemed to know nothing, and he was still calm on the surface, it seems that this Li Xu does have many places worth investigating.

"How is the slave doing war?" Yu Jiang said, "Then how many soldiers and horses did the Yu family gather?" I really didn't expect that the little Yu family could make such a battle in Nu'ergan. ”

Yu Jiang's eyes were sharp, and he kept looking at Li Xu.

Li Xu said: "The Yu family has been in the north for many years, I am afraid that he has been secretly helping King Jian to take charge of the northern Xinjiang, and now that Gao Jiansong is being investigated, the Yu family can no longer hide it, and wants to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the court to take down the slave in one fell swoop. ”

Yu Jiang listened to Li Xu's words, and suddenly remembered something: "When I interrogated Li Changyan, Li Changyan said that the Yu family wanted to marry the Li family, and Miss Yu San liked Master Li. ”

Li Xu's eyes were indifferent: "It is true that there is such a thing, but I have never had such a thought, even after Miss Yu San was injured, the second master Yu and the second master Yu came to threaten me, I did not agree, many people have seen this matter, if Lord Yu does not believe it, you can ask, and then ......"

Yu Jiang's ears moved slightly: "What else does Master Li want to say?" ”

"After all, Miss Yu San is a female dependent, if it was usual, I shouldn't judge her," Li Xu narrowed his eyes, "We caught a close confidant of the Yu family, and that person confessed that Miss Yu San took many women to Nuergan to various tribes, all of them were thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, what did she use these girls for?" The slave cadres have always liked the women of the Great Zhou, and there are often robberies of women, and Miss Yu San's move is ......"

Li Xu's voice became even colder when he said this, and his face was full of disgust: "How could I marry such a woman?" ”

Yu Jiang immediately thought of that Qing'e, Qing'e and Sister Na Hui said that someone had taken away many women from the Great Zhou, could it really be the Yu family?

Grandma Song is right, this Li Xu has superb methods, and he found out so many secrets in a short period of time, he almost trusted Li Xu completely.

Interesting.

Yu Jiang came out of Li Xu's house, took the people back to the residence, and sent everyone out, and then he walked into the inner room.

There was a person tied to the inner room, and she was looking at Yu Jiang in panic, it was Mrs. Li.

"Your son is so beautiful," Yu Jiang said in a low voice, "Now the whole Northern Xinjiang is almost his, but he never mentioned you...... It seems that it is useless for me to keep you. ”

As soon as Yu Jiang's words fell, he pulled up a finger from Mrs. Li.

There was a crisp sound of "click", Mrs. Li felt a sharp pain in her fingers, her eyes widened, seeing her fingers twisted to the side strangely, her heart was full of fear, she wanted to struggle, but she didn't have any strength.
