Xiao Mohan and Ouyang Kun retreated one after another, and when they walked to the gate of the palace, the two stopped back and forth.

"General Xiao, does the death of Princess Yangguo have anything to do with you?"

Ouyang Kun turned his head to look at Xiao Mohan, his eyes were full of inquiry, his face was tense, revealing a little doubt.

"The emperor didn't hand over this matter to you, even if you go and investigate, what you can find out is the truth."

Xiao Mohan's face did not change, his eyes were not shocked, and he didn't seem to have the slightest fear in his heart, which made Ouyang Kun helpless.

"You know that Master Li used to be my guest, and you still recommended him in front of the emperor, is it to make us be cautious in front of the emperor and not dare to act rashly?"

Ouyang Kun and Xiao Mohan glanced at each other, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his face showed a bit of forbearance, he had been eyeing Xiao Mohan for a long time, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to pick Xiao Mohan's mistakes, this time was a good opportunity, if Xiao Mohan recommended others, it was okay, just elected Lord Li, but it made him restrain his hands.

"I recommended Master Li just because he is a suitable candidate, and he has no other meaning, so why should Prime Minister Zuo think so much? If you really don't want to, you can go and tell the emperor, the hour is not early, I still have official business to deal with, and I will leave. ”

As soon as Xiao Mohan's voice fell, he went straight to the carriage, and did not stay for a moment at all, leaving Zuo Xiang angry in place, and he couldn't do anything openly.

Xiao Mohan lightly hooked his thin lips and sneered, Ouyang Kun wanted to take the opportunity to frame him, it was just a fool's dream, the emperor was already suspicious of Ouyang Kun's power, if Ouyang Kun dared to collude with Lord Li to put the charge on his head, it would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.

At present, he and Ouyang Kun are on two feet, each of them occupies an important position in the court, the emperor will not easily break this balance, if Ouyang Kun does not do his best, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Back at the General's Mansion, Shao Huaigu was already waiting for Xiao Mohan in the study, and it happened that Qian Qianqian was also there, just before Xiao Mohan came back, it was Shao Huaigu who she entertained, and Shao Huaigu was chatting very speculatively.

"You're back, we've been waiting for you for a long time." When Shao Huaigu saw Xiao Mohan walking in, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and pursed his lips and smiled.

Xiao Mohan glanced at Qian Qianqian, a little mystery welled up in her deep eyes, and there was no superfluous look on her face, which made people wonder through.

"I have something to say to Master Shao, you go out first."

Xiao Mohan just commanded lightly, as if he didn't want Qian Qianqian to be here, to be precise, he didn't want Qian Qianqian and Shao Huaigu to be alone here.

"Then Lord Shao, I'll go first." Qian Qianqian didn't notice anything wrong, nodded towards Shao Huaigu, and retreated directly.

She knew what Xiao Mohan and Shao Huaigu were going to talk about, since she had stayed out of this matter, she didn't want to inquire about anything else, anyway, Xiao Mohan would handle it clearly, she knew too much, but it would be a trouble.

"You let Miss Qian dress up like this, are you too wronged by her?"

Shao Huaigu sat down straight, his every move was very casual, when he was talking to Qian Qianqian casually just now, he hadn't looked at Qian Qianqian's face much, and he had to admit that Xiao Mohan's move was really a bit damaged.

"This is also for her good, besides, didn't you also remind you of this?"

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, and said lightly, his woman, no matter what it is, as long as he doesn't dislike it, no one is qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

"I did warn you, but you don't need to be so heavy, Miss Qian is a woman after all, and now her reputation as an ugly girl has spread, how will she deal with herself in the future?"

Shao Huaigu frowned slightly, his eyes drooped suddenly, the tea in the cup seemed to be difficult to swallow, and his face was a little regretful.

"I'll take care of everything for her, why do you care so much about her?"

Xiao Mohan looked Shao Huaigu up and down, his face was slightly gloomy, his sword eyebrows were raised lightly, and there was a bit of vigilance between his eyebrows.

Shao Huaigu also found out that something was wrong with Xiao Mohan, and suddenly didn't dare to say any more, squeezed out a smile from his face, changed his words, and said slowly: "I just chatted with Miss Qian a little more just now, and found that she is indeed extraordinary, so I am a little curious." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it, how did you solve the princess of Nayangguo? What flaws are left? ”

Xiao Mohan didn't want to mention Qian Qianqian's matter anymore, sitting at the table, with a green silk bundle, an indifferent expression, and a burning gaze, so sharp that it made people a little breathless.

"The princess of Yangguo originally had a slight asthma, plus a long journey, she has been secretly taking medicine a few days ago, on the day of marriage, she took the medicine and got on the sedan chair, I sent someone to change her medicine, which is also a good medicine for the treatment of diseases, one is to treat asthma, and the other is just with asthma, plus the sedan car bumps, asthma attacks, causing palpitations, it is normal."

The smile on Shao Huaigu's face gradually dissipated, and he explained one by one, with a dead silence in his eyes.

"In this way, won't it be found out by the imperial doctor?"

Xiao Mohan thought in his heart, although even if he and Shao Huaigu didn't do it, the princess of the Yang Kingdom would inevitably have the word "death", but since he did it, he had to be foolproof.

"The princess of Yangguo was originally frail and sickly, and when she was in Yangguo, she didn't leave her mouth all day long, and her good complexion when she came to Xiaoguo to go to the banquet was just to use fat powder to strengthen her, so many flavored medicines were in her body, what could the imperial doctor find out?"

Shao Huaigu sneered, since the princess of Yangguo set off to Xiao Guo, he had already sent someone to find out the details of the princess of Yangguo, so there was no suspense at all.

"In this way, after checking and checking, in the end, it can only be that the princess of Yangguo is not in good health and died of illness in the capital, and she can't blame anyone?"

Xiao Mohan suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were deep, making people unable to see through them at a glance, and they couldn't figure it out at all.

"Not bad." Shao Huaigu nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and lightly spit out two words.

"Ouyang Kun will definitely not give up easily in order to deal with me, the emperor only gave him three days, although he will not clearly put the charge on my head, but he will definitely do something to make the emperor suspect me, so you have to send someone to keep an eye on it."

Xiao Mohan knew Ouyang Kun's methods, this time he made Ouyang Kun suffer a dumb loss, and Ouyang Kun would not swallow it so easily.

"I understand, I have already sent someone to deal with Master Li, he is now caught in the middle and is in a dilemma, and he can't sit in the position of the waiter of the Criminal Department for long."

Although Shao Huaigu has always been obscure, he has never been less vigilant on Ouyang Kun's side, so he knows everything about the situation on Ouyang Kun's side.

"The people of the central country sent the princess to make peace on the surface, but in fact they sent a sick seedling, which is clearly wanting the princess to die in the Xiao country, so that they have a reason to attack the Xiao country again, so even if the truth of this matter is revealed, the central country should not give up easily, we have to prepare early, and sooner or later there will be another battle between the central country and the Xiao country."

Xiao Mohan pondered in his heart, his expression became solemn, he was more worried about Xiao Guo than his own safety, if Xiao Guo was gone, then these princes and generals would be prisoners.

"Right now, the treasury of Xiao State is empty, if we fight again, the people will definitely not be able to bear it, and we have to find another way."

Shao Huaigu's expression was solemn, his brows were twisted into the word "Sichuan", and his originally weak face was full of indescribable determination.

"How's that batch of weapons?" Xiao Mo spoke coldly, his voice low, as if thoughtful.

"The craftsmen are rushing to make it, and it is estimated that it will be preliminarily completed in more than a month."

Shao Huaigu replied lightly, Xiao Mohan had taken precautions and secretly discovered a batch of iron ore, so he asked Shao Huaigu to send people to refine them into weapons, which can come in handy in the future, whether it is dealing with the central country or self-defense.

"The drawings of the weapons still need to be improved, if we can only refine the weapons that are similar to those outside, then it will not be of great use, so after the weapons are refined, they will be stored, and then they will be improved when the development of the drawings has progressed."

Xiao Mohan's voice was low, he spoke extremely firmly, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was compelling, which made people dare not make mistakes easily.

"I understand, don't worry." After Shao Huaigu finished speaking, he didn't stay long, then got up and walked out.

Shao Huaigu came to the General's Mansion quietly, and no one found out, so he left quietly, and the carriage stopped at the back door, and as soon as Shao Huaigu went out, he got into the carriage.

Three days later, above the court, Ouyang Kun told the truth about the violent death of the princess of Yangguo, and made it clear that the princess of Yangguo died of her own weakness and illness.

"Your Majesty, although this princess of the Central Kingdom died of illness, after all, she died in the capital, and the Central Kingdom side may blame us for not taking good care of us, and we have to send someone to negotiate with the Central Kingdom more on this matter."

Ouyang Kun bowed slightly, and said seriously, as if he was bent on the good of Xiao Guo, and the other ministers echoed one after another, but they didn't have the slightest idea, at this juncture, no one had the courage to come forward.

"I understand, but Prince Su has been noisy, it's really hateful, if it weren't for the fact that he is an envoy of the central country, I would not have allowed him a long time ago."

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, he was upset by Prince Su just now, his face was very ugly, and his eyes were full of anger, as if he would explode at any time.

"Your Majesty, if you can trust your brother, Prince Su's side, you will be appeased by your brother, but the brother almost became a horse of the central country, presumably Prince Su will not be stubborn and not give his brother this face."

Xiao Mohan seized the opportunity, and Mao recommended himself, knowing that Prince Su was plotting against him, he would definitely not be satisfied with this result, so he also thought of a way to deal with it.

"It's okay, you are almost the husband of the princess of the central country, and it is most appropriate for you to appease Prince Su."

The emperor nodded quickly, at the moment it was a mess on the side of the central country, and it was really good that someone was willing to take it, and he wouldn't care who that person was.

"This time, Zuo Xiang and Master Li have found out the truth, it is really indispensable, Your Majesty will definitely reward them, especially Lord Li, who has been in the position of the squire of the Criminal Department, it is too aggrieved, the emperor has a good eye, and he will definitely give him a good official position."

Xiao Mohan then mentioned this, and Master Li suddenly became frightened, and he kept leaning over and bowing his head, unable to straighten his waist.
