Just when the tiger army outside was clamoring to break Zhao Yueshui's body into ten thousand pieces, Huzi had already walked into the tent quickly, and came to Xiao Xiao's side and asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it's a mess outside, I'm afraid that the situation will not be cleaned up, do you really plan to kill Zhao Yueshui?" ”

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and said, "Of course it's true." He was powerful in Xihua City, causing public anger, and the king killed him to calm the army's heart, not to mention that he resold the news as evidence, and it was not considered that the king wronged him. ”

"But Zhao Yueshui is the eyeliner of the saint, and when the prince kills him, he is clearly showing a blatant confrontation with the saint, I am afraid that it will attract the villain to add or subtract words behind his back, and make the saint even more jealous of you."

Xiao Xiao sneered and said, "Are you completely your own idea when this eunuch is this time?" Although he usually acts as a prestige in Xihua City, although his waist is straight, it can be seen that this king still wants to put away his arrogance? Even if he looks down on this king in his heart, he is used to being yang and yin on his face. Now he dares to accuse this king to his face, where do you say he got the courage? ”

Huzi's face changed when he heard this, and he gasped, "Lord Wang, are you saying that this is the order of the Holy Lord?" ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "The saint is a smart person, this king is still useful, he will not move a stone to hit his own feet, it must be Li Guanwen who saw something and breathed with Zhao Yueshui." ”

"That's going to be hard too!" Huzi's face turned white.

The saint's jealousy of the prince is not a day or two, the more brave the prince is in the war, the greater the credit, the more jealous the saint is, Li Guanwen is the inner eunuch around the saint, he can sit firmly in the position of the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, which means that this person must be smart and have a city.

Let's ask such a guy, how can he misunderstand the meaning of the saint to the owl?

Although he knew that the saint was such a person, Huzi was still shocked into a cold sweat at this moment.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Zheng Pei, who was dressed in a dark blue straight coat, walked in quickly, and said anxiously: "Lord Wang." ”

"Mr. Zheng is here. Have a seat. Xiao Xiao raised his chin at Zheng Pei.

Huzi brought the chair and set it up, arched his hand at Zheng Pei, and his polite and detached attitude was as intimate as before.

Zheng Pei's heart was bitter, he first saluted Xiao Xiao, and said anxiously when he couldn't wait to sit down: "Lord Wang, think twice, that Zhao Yueshui is Li Guanwen's righteous son, if you kill Zhao Yueshui, you will definitely offend Li Guanwen, Li Guanwen is the most able to speak in front of the saint, he is not sweet when he makes sugar, and he must be sour when he makes vinegar, you can't be reckless."

"If Zhao Yueshui is killed, it will definitely anger Tianwei, the Holy Lord has the power to monopolize, the most intolerable thing is this kind of thing that is cut first and then played, Zhao Yueshui is the person sent by the Holy Lord to your side, even if you beat the dog, you have to look at the master, in order for you to gain a firm foothold in the court in the future, so please think carefully about what I said."

Zheng Pei said this, stood up and saluted again.

Xiao Xiao smiled calmly, and his eyebrows under the candlelight looked very gentle: "Mr. Zheng, please sit down and talk." ”

actually did not directly answer Zheng Pei's words.

Zheng Pei's heart was full of bitterness, he knew that in the past, he secretly reported every move of the young man to the saint, and finally pushed this young man away from his side completely, and he no longer trusted him.

But he couldn't ignore him completely, after all, he was also the bloodline of Xiao Zhongzheng.

Zheng Pei slowly sat back and looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.

"What Mr. Zheng said also has a point." Xiao Xiao spoke leisurely, as if he was not talking about a major event that would involve his future or even life and death, but briskly as if he was talking.

"With Mr. Zheng's cleverness, he should understand that even if this king doesn't kill Zhao Yueshui, some things are already a foregone conclusion, and some people who are not used to this king are still unaccustomed to it."

Zheng Pei was suffocated by breath, and he didn't think of a suitable answer for a long time.

He knew that Xiao Xiao was a smart man, and he couldn't fool the past with a nice sentence or two.

What Xiao Xiao said is the truth, the saint's jealousy of him will not be reduced by half a point because of this, and the old ministers who surrendered in the Northern Ji Kingdom will not change their opinion of Xiao Xiao because of this.

"This king knows that Mr. Zheng is thinking about this king, but now I believe that Mr. Zheng has also figured out some of the keys, since he can't change some things, why should this king swallow his anger and be a soft persimmon? Could it be that as a man, he doesn't even have the courage to speak loudly? That will only make people more bullied, and sooner or later they will be bullied and will not be able to raise their heads. ”

Zheng Pei was convinced, and he couldn't find the words to object, so he could only nod.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Huzi.

Huzi didn't worry as much as Zheng Pei, and when he saw that Xiao Xiao had made a decision, he was eager to try, and when he got his approval, he immediately rushed out to clean up Zhao Yueshui with great interest.

Only Xiao Xiao and Zheng Pei were left in the tent.

Zheng Pei looked at the sharp eyebrows under the light, and felt unable to look directly for a while, and he was extremely embarrassed.

He used to think that he was the most trustworthy person around him.

I also used to feel that it was his betrayal that pushed this person who trusted him the most away.

But now it seems that Xiao Xiao has never really trusted him at all!

His use of the owl was remembered by him with a pen, and he always pretended to be confused. Like a patient wolf, he keeps a close eye on his prey, chasing after it, and when the time comes, he shows his fangs.

Now he can't move half a point, he can't balance him, and he can't control him. He also wants to become a cronie by the side of Xiao Xiao, but it is no longer possible.

Perhaps, this "cronie" has always been his self-styled person.

Zheng Pei sighed and left.

Xiao Xiao looked at Zheng Pei's back, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Huzi really asked the real thing from Zhao Yueshui's mouth, Zhao Yueshui is a soft bag with a strong heart, after being interrogated, he can't just want to die quickly, Huzi fulfilled his wish, and went back to the words of the owl.

"Lord Wang, that eunuch has recruited everything."

"Hmm."

"The prince guessed right, it is true that Li Guanwen mentioned it to Zhao Yueshui in private, when the Holy Lord invited your mother, grandfather and grandmother into the palace to live, he once ordered the queen to pay attention to their words when talking, and want to know some of your thoughts."

"Expected. My mother is not simply able to be tricked into words, and the emperor will have the next move. "In that case, the battle here is about to end, and I'm worried about my mother." ”

When Huzi heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Xiao Xiao concentrated on thinking about the tactics for two days.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to win, but the siege is weak, and the rear supply line is long, the Great Zhou Mountain is high and the road is far away, after taking over the mess of the Northern Hebei Kingdom, the treasury is also very empty, and the emperor's control over him is very strict and does not give silver rice, the supply is not timely, and the Duke of Dayan Dingguo avoids fighting and closes the city gate.

He can't feed his soldiers, can he stop them from grabbing food?

Even the soldiers of the Yan Dynasty who were guarding outside the Great Yan City were the same.

I couldn't eat enough, so I had to grab it.

In the long run, it is the common people who will suffer.

Xiao Xiao now just wants to fight quickly and end the battle quickly.

And at this moment, a shocking event happened in the Great Yan Dynasty, and the news finally reached the ears of Xiao Xiao.
