Li Xu threw the official document on the table into the charcoal basin, and the flames suddenly burst out.

Li Xu seemed to be talking to himself: "There is no news from the Xiao family yet?" ”

One of the guards immediately came out of the darkness: "Not yet. ”

The firelight shone on Li Xu's cheeks: "Let people ask." ”

The guard replied and retreated.

After the Haixi clan was in chaos, the Xiao family would recruit the Beishan tribe to help, Haixi and Beishan had a grudge, as long as they were used well, Beishan would inevitably become his help.

Now that he has no way out, he can only go deep into Nuergan if he wants to live, and big clans like Haixi and Beishan are very important to him.

The Xiao family sent news before that everything was going well, Haixi only cared about calming the fight among the clans, and had no time to take care of the Beishan tribe, and the Xiao family only needed to make a little use of the previous grievances between the two tribes to achieve their goals.

The paperwork in the charcoal basin gradually turned to ashes.

King Jian didn't reveal a word to him when he was alive, and suddenly let him face such a situation, he knew that the Xiao family and Mr. Lu were not credible, but he could only use them, if someone helped him stabilize the slave, it would be a different situation in front of him.

……

Mr. Lu came out of Li Xu's house and immediately rushed to the barracks.

"Mr. Lu," a commander stepped forward quickly, "Gongzi ordered Yu Jiang to be arrested, and if he met Mrs. Li and Li Changyan, he would ...... it."

Mr. Lu nodded, for the sake of big things, there can be no more women's kindness.

The commander hesitated a little: "Li Changyan is enough, Mrs. Li is the biological mother of the son, will we be punished in the future?" ”

"No, it won't." Mr. Lu thought of Li Xu's firm expression and subconsciously said.

"Isn't Childe too ruthless, like this to his mother...... I'm only afraid of us ...... in the future" the commander blurted out, and immediately he realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately shut his mouth.

Mr. Lu said: "I just didn't hear it, do what you have to do." ”

The commander bowed in response and said, "Mr. Lu, be careful yourself. After saying that, he walked away quickly.

Mr. Lu frowned slightly, Li Xu has changed, he is ruthless and disregardful, those who do great things should be like this, he has persuaded Mrs. Li more than once, let Li Xu concentrate on his career and power not to be swayed by others, this is what Prince Jian meant, and those who ask for it are best to control it.

Now that Li Xu has become more and more indifferent, he has some fear in his heart.

Especially reminded by this commander, he was even more sad that he should be on guard against Li Xu.

"Sir," Mr. Lu turned his head to see his cronies coming forward, "the Khan's side has sent a letter." ”

Mr. Lu took his cronies to the side for questioning.

"What did the Khan say? Have the soldiers and horses gathered at the River of Trouble? Something happened to the Haixi tribe, did the generals who were guarding the Trouble River go back to Haixi? ”

The cronie said: "Yes, there are already half of the soldiers and horses on the other side of the river. ”

Mr. Lu is overjoyed, there are fewer people in the difficult river, and the Great Khan can take the opportunity to break through, and this big game of chess is finally going to be completed.

"However," the cronies cautiously looked to the left and right, "the Khan has been assassinated, and it was the Zhou people who carried out the assassination. ”

Mr. Lu immediately asked, "Did you catch anyone?" How do you know that it is Zhou? ”

"The Assassins were very cunning, and they had planted crotons in the hay beforehand and put down a lot of horses, so that the Khan's guards delayed the Assassins and let them escape.

The Assassins used different weapons than we do, their swords were finely forged, and they were lost in the neighborhood as they fled, apparently unfamiliar with their surroundings. ”

Mr. Lu said: "Could it be Song Chengxuan's person?" ”

"Probably not," said the cronies, "they can enter the Great Zhou from the Troubled River Guard, but when they get to the city, they are stopped. ”

The assassin is from Zhou, not Song Chengxuan's man, could it be Li Xu......

Impossible, how could Li Xu know the truth?

Mr. Lu thought about it, the clothes on his body were already soaked with cold sweat, he hadn't thought about it before, with Li Xu's cleverness, he might really be able to find the clue.

It seems that he really wants to guard against Li Xu, he can't hand over all his hands to Li Xu, he has to leave a way back for himself, and in case Li Xu is not controlled, he must also be able to deal with it.

……

Troubled River Guard.

Mo Tuo collapsed on the earthen kang, and he didn't have to take off his shoes, because the soles of his shoes were worn out, and his toes had long been exposed.

"Lord Shizi," Mo Tuo said, "you said that you would go around the Tartary a few times, so that the Tatars would think that we are from the Great Zhou." ”

If you are not familiar with your surroundings, you will get lost, which Mo Tuo really did not expect.

"Can you go around so many times? In the end, there was no food or water," Mo Tuo suddenly became suspicious when he thought of this, "The prince shouldn't really get lost, right?" ”

Xu Qingan swallowed a little embarrassed, and then immediately retorted: "How is that possible, I am here to make sure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Mo Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was too worried.

"Uncle Shi," Xu Qing'an pondered for a moment and said, "When will we be able to reach the River of Trouble?" This place must be far from the River of Trouble, right? ”

Mo Tuo's forehead jumped with green tendons: "This is the River of Difficulty." "Sure enough, I can't believe the words of the prince.

……

Xu Qinghuan watched the children in front of him pick up the pen and write seriously.

After the Great Zhou Dynasty established the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, he invited many gentlemen from various states and governments to come to teach the slaves to be literate, but unfortunately the successor was weak, and the Liaodong Metropolitan Division spent a lot of silver money on armaments, and gradually reduced the shackles given to the husbands, and those gentlemen left the north one after another, and most of the people who could stay have settled in the slaves.

A six- or seven-year-old child used ink for the first time and accidentally stained his sleeve black, Xu Qinghuan stepped forward to pick up a handkerchief to help the child wipe the stains.

"It's okay, take your time." Xu Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Do you speak the ancestral language here?"

Xu Qinghuan raised his head and saw Patriarch Mo.

Xu Qinghuan nodded: "I used to hear my father say what slaves do, and I was curious about the words and ancestral languages here, so I learned some from Mr. Girl, and I didn't know much." After marrying Li Xu in her previous life, she wanted to understand the folk customs of Nuergan, and she deliberately studied for a while, she felt that Li Xu wanted to take Nuergan under his command, but she should treat each other sincerely, rather than blindly calculating, otherwise what is the difference with the Great Zhou court at that time? False goodwill is always unconvincing.

Patriarch Mo said: "It's much better than what your father said, ...... back then"

Patriarch Mo couldn't help but think of An Yihou's appearance of standing in front of the team in a lame ancestral language, and he was about to squeeze his eyes at him at every turn, let him meet him on the side, what to say In order to boost the morale of the army, it is not that An Yihou himself likes to be praised, he couldn't help but want to pierce An Yihou several times, but he had to focus on the overall situation.

Xu Qinghuan looked at Patriarch Mo's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, it must be that his father did something inconsistent.

People will always take off their guard in front of those close to them, which shows the relationship between his father and Patriarch Mo.

"Governor Song should be back soon, right?" Patriarch Mo said, "Before the big war, you must always arrange it. ”

After saying this, Patriarch Mo smiled again: "I'm confused, there is a big grandmother here, and Song Dudu can rest assured ......"

Xu Qinghuan bowed slightly, but after being separated for so long, she really hoped to see Song Chengxuan.

In front of him, I'm afraid he won't be able to pull away, and he will have to wait for a while.
