Xu Youzhen knew in her heart that if the current emperor Zhu Qizhen had suspicions of rebellion against him, not only would his position in the court not be guaranteed in the future, but he would most likely be like Yu Qian, who he had framed, and he would cause death.

If the emperor is suspicious of himself, he is afraid that his good life in the future will be gone forever, and the so-called holy family Youlong is afraid that it will pass away in a blink of an eye.

Don't talk about fighting with Shi Heng at that time, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to save my own life.

After having such a thought in her heart, although it was early winter, Xu Youzhen couldn't help but sweat a little, and felt that her back was wet.

After figuring out these things, Xu Youzhen felt that what Li Xian said to him was by no means alarmist, but the heartfelt words of his friends.

Thinking of this, Xu Youzhen couldn't help but speak to Li Xian with a little apology: "Master Li, don't blame, the old man lost his words for a while, and almost misunderstood Lord Li's sincere heart, and the old man is here to accompany Master Li." ”

After saying this, Xu Youzhen, who has always been high and inviolable, bowed respectfully to Li Xian, wanting to go to the end.

Li Xian saw that Xu Youzhen was in this situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xu Youzhen and said, "Lord Xu, this can't be helped." How can the lower officials afford to worship adults. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he said to Li Xian: "Lord Li doesn't have to be polite, I am fortunate to be reminded by Lord Li today, if it is not so, the old man will definitely fall to the point of no return." ”

Li Xian heard Xu Youzhen's words, so he said: "Lord Xu is really ashamed to be an official like this, if what Fang Cai said can be of the slightest benefit to the adult, Li Xian can be regarded as repaying the adult's kindness." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen bowed his head and said: "Lord Li has worked hard for the old man's family affairs, and after this matter is over, the old man will have a good reward for Lord Li Xian." ”

Li Xian heard that Xu Youzhen had this promise, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Xu's words are serious, from the current situation, as long as the adults can temporarily stop the troops from going to Shifu, the situation should be somewhat certain." ”

Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian's words, so he said: "In this case, the old man also understands Lord Li's words in his heart, but the old man's daughter is still in the hands of Shi Heng, judging from the current situation, things are only afraid that it is quite difficult to get better, I don't know if Master Li has a clever plan to save her." ”

After saying this, Xu Youzhen was still a little unwilling and indignant, and he was still very concerned about his daughter's safety.

Hearing that Xu Youzhen had this attitude, Li Xian pretended to think for a while, and then said to Xu Youzhen: "Since Lord Xu has this entrustment, Li Xianyan can shirk it, it was originally a big man's precursor, and he went deep into the tiger's den in Longtan single-handedly to find that Shi Heng to make peace, and he must rescue Ling Ailai for Lord Xu." ”

Xu Youzhen couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he saw Li Xian's expression, so he said to Li Xian: "Master Li, the old man is really not mistaken, Brother Li is loyal and courageous, and none of the princes in the court can match Brother Li, and this time the life of the old man and his daughter is completely entrusted to Lord Li." ”

Seeing that Xu Youzhen said this, Li Xian nodded and said, "My lord, please rest assured, judging from the current situation, this matter is not suitable to meet Shi Heng Bingrong. Thinking about it, Shi Heng also understood this matter in his heart, since he was referring to the abduction of Lord Xu's palm pearl, obviously he wanted to save his son Shi Weifeng, even so, Li already had a plan to attack his heart, as long as the spell was cast properly, maybe he would be able to save your daughter soon. ”

Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian say this, and felt a lot more stable in his heart, so he said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Li, I won't tell you, the old man has been up and down for more than 30 years, and the old wife gave birth to such a daughter, and the couple both love this woman very much. If Master Li can help the old man rescue this precious daughter, Master Li will be the little girl's life-saving benefactor and regenerate parents. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly spoke: "Master Li doesn't have to be like this, judging from the current situation, Li is just speculating, Shi Heng is by no means an easy person to deal with, Li can only do his best." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, she opened her mouth to Li Xian and said, "No matter what Lord Xu asks here, as long as the old man does what he can, the old man will try his best to satisfy Lord Xu, just to rescue the little girl as soon as possible." ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has the love of licking calves, and I think the same is true for Shi Heng, so I ask Lord Xu to wait for news in the house." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth to Li Xian and said: "What Lord Li said is very true, I think Shi Heng lost a son, and his mood is similar to that of the old man, but Shi Heng's son Shi Weifeng is not the hand sent by the old man, but Shi Heng has to rely on the old man for this matter." In addition, he actually instructed someone to kidnap the little girl, which is unbearable, and after the little girl is saved, the old man will definitely settle this account with Shi Heng. ”

Li Xian then spoke: "What Lord Xu said is that Shi Heng deserves to be punished for doing such an angry thing. Otherwise, it will not be tolerated. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen said: "Brother Li's words have won my heart, please take a lot of trouble this time and rescue the little girl as soon as possible." ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "Please rest assured that Lord Xu will definitely rescue Lord Xu's beloved daughter as soon as possible when Li Xian goes." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "Since Master Li has this promise, the old man is also a lot more relieved." ”

Li Xian heard Xu Youzhen say this, so he spoke to Xu Youzhen: "My lord, from the current situation, it seems that it is no longer necessary to lead the troops to Shi Heng's mansion, and I also ask Lord Xu to talk to the secretary of the military department, so as not to let Shi Heng beat him up." ”

Xu Youzhen listened to Li Xian's suggestion, and then opened his mouth and said: "What Brother Li has seen is very true, so please ask Brother Li to go out with the old man to talk to Lord Wang." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he replied: "That's fine, Lord Xu goes first." ”

Xu Youzhen nodded slightly, and then said to Li Xian: "Master Li, if there is no elder brother who takes the initiative to ask for help this time, the old man doesn't know what to do. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "You don't have to thank me, these are all Li Xian's duties." ”

Xu Youzhen stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The elder brother is really a person who refuses to take credit, or not, the elder brother quickly followed the old man out to suggest that he met Lord Wang, and after making a slight arrangement for today's events, the old man sent a sedan chair to send Brother Li to Shiheng Mansion to be a lobbyist." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he said to Xu Youzhen: "My lord, Lord Wang can see it, but there is no need to send a sedan chair from the mansion to see off the lower officials, this is too ostentatious, and the appearance is too obvious, which is bound to be not a good thing." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen spoke: "Lord Li reminds that this matter does not need to be publicized, and it is okay, just like that, the old man will not send someone to send the adult." ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "What the lord said is very true, judging from the current situation, it is Shi Heng's taboo to act like this. ”

After Xu Youzhen heard these words, he opened his mouth to Li Xian and said: "What Lord Xu said is very true, now I want to fool Shi Heng in the past, if I can't hide it from Shi Heng, I'm afraid that things will be difficult to handle." ”

Li Xian nodded again and again and said, "What the adults said is very true, and it is exactly so. ”

Xu Youzhen pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said to Li Xian: "Since this is the case, please ask Lord Li to go out with the old man to meet Lord Wang, as long as he sees Lord Wang, the old man will tell Lord Wang not to send troops to Shi Heng's mansion for the time being, wait and see, see how the situation changes." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu's approach is the most holy, no matter what the situation is, we always have to deal with this matter well, don't startle the snake, it will be difficult to alarm Shi Hengke." ”

Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian's words, so he nodded and said: "Oh, it seems that the elder brother has thought it through, judging from the current situation, things couldn't be easier, and judging from the current situation, it is necessary to borrow the strength of Brother Li." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian pretended to be a little flattered and said to Xu Youzhen: "What the adults said is not bad at all, and when the matter comes out, it is the best way to deal with it calmly." ”

Seeing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "What Brother Li said is not bad at all, when the matter comes out, you can't ignore it, you must deal with it calmly, no matter what kind of tricks Shi Heng wants to play this time, the old man has already decided to play with Shi Heng to the end this time." ”

Li Xian saw that Xu Youzhen said this, so he said to Xu Youzhen: "Your Excellency's determination to be like this is a great help for the lower officials, no matter what the future is, this time the lower officials must help Lord Xu well and save Lord Xu's daughter from Shi Heng." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen was naturally extremely happy, so he spoke to Li Xian: "What Lord Li said is very true, from the current situation, this is the case, the old man wants to borrow the strength of Lord Li this time, if the matter is successful, the old man will never treat the old brother badly in the future." ”

Hearing that Xu Youzhen had this promise, Li Xian hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite, judging from the current situation, there is still room for redemption, and the lower officials will definitely do their best to help your adult deal with this matter." Xu Youzhen heard that Li Xian said this, so he opened his mouth to Li Xian and said: "Master Li can say this, the old man is very upset in his heart. ”

After the two discussed the matter, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng left the Yazhu Pavilion in Wang Xiaofeng's mansion one after another, and still arrived at the West Wing along the old road.

Wang Xiaofeng had been waiting in the west wing for a long time, and as soon as he saw Xu Youzhen and Li Xian coming out, Wang Xiaofeng stood up and said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, the soldiers and soldiers outside have been waiting for a long time, just wait for Lord Xu's order, and then go out to attack others." ”

Hearing Wang Xiaofeng's words, Xu Youzhen raised his hand and waved his hand before speaking: "No need, let the soldiers go back to the barracks first." ”

Suddenly listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Wang Xiaofeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but be a little stunned, and only came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly opened his mouth to Xu Youzhen and asked, "My lord, things can't change." ”

Xu Youzhen nodded and said: "The old man just talked to Lord Li Xian, and I feel that the matter is by no means as easy to deal with as I think at the moment, and sending troops to Shiheng Mansion at this moment is not only very likely to be no good, but also may have great disadvantages, no matter what the situation is, things have already reached such a point, and that's it." You must not put the future of Lord Wang into it for the sake of the little girl. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Wang Xiaofeng felt even more puzzled, so he spoke to Li Xian on the side: "Lord Li, what is going on?" Lord Xu suddenly changed his mind. ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Xu knows that you are extremely loyal to him, no matter what, today Lord Wang is willing to send troops to help Lord Xu such a big favor, Lord Xu's affection for Lord Wang must be in his heart, since Lord Xu has already said that there is no need to lead troops to Shiheng's mansion this time, Lord Wang will follow his meaning, more is better than less." ”

Li Xian is attitude of playing haha, and there is a confusion between the words, which makes Wang Xiaofeng feel extremely difficult to explain.

But even so, for Wang Xiaofeng, he also knew in his heart that Xu Youzhen had already been persuaded by Li Xian, and as for the reasoning, the two in front of him were unwilling to talk to him, so it must be a big obstacle to think about it, and it was inconvenient to confide in front of a third party.

Wang Xiaofeng has also been in the officialdom for many years, and he is naturally well aware of such things, and he understands in his heart that since Xu Youzhen is unwilling to explain the reason to himself, he naturally has his reasons.

If he continues to ask questions in an extremely uninteresting way, in addition to not getting the slightest benefit, he may lose Xu Youzhen's trust in him.

With such an idea in his heart, Wang Xiaofeng nodded at Xu Youzhen and said, "Since Lord Xu has this order, it is okay, the lower officials will follow Lord Xu's wishes, and send those soldiers back first." ”

Hearing Wang Xiaofeng's words, Xu Youzhen spoke: "Then there is Lord Laowang." ”

When Wang Xiaofeng heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to Xu Youzhen and said, "This is what a contemptible person should do, Lord Xu doesn't have to be polite." ”

After saying this, Wang Xiaofeng lifted the hem of his clothes and said to Xu Youzhen: "Please Lord Xu later, and the next official will come when he goes." ”

Xu Youzhen knew in his heart that he was going out to dismiss the soldiers who had been ordered outside, so he opened his mouth and said to Wang Xiaofeng: "I'm tired of work, there is labor, there is labor." ”

Wang Xiaofeng saluted Xu Youzhen and went out.

After Wang Xiaofeng went out, Xu Youzhen turned back to Li Xian and smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Li, this time, the old man will entrust all his hopes for rescuing the little girl to you, judging from the current situation, please Lord Li do it yourself, don't let the old man down." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen say this, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but be shocked, he knew in his heart that although Xu Youzhen had followed his own advice, he was still a little worried about whether he could help him rescue Xu Qixin from Shi Heng's grasp, so he expressed his responsibility.

Thinking of this, Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, please rest assured, although the lower official is not completely sure of going to Shiheng's Mansion this time, he will definitely do his best to do things for Lord Xu, so that the safety of love will be handed over to Li Xian to deal with." ”

Hearing that Li Xian agreed to rescue his daughter, Xu Youzhen also felt a shock in his heart, and was very grateful to Li Xian for being able to perform like this.

Xu Youzhen said to Li Xian with some emotion: "Master Li, the old man was born less than 100 years old, but fortunately he was able to get to know such a hero as Brother Li in this life, no matter how this matter can be resolved, the old man must thank Brother Li for his help." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he said to Xu Youzhen: "My lord is not polite, Lord Xu is the pillar of the court, and he is also a model of the minister in Li Xian's mind, no matter what happens in the mansion of the adult or the adult, the lower officials are willing to sacrifice their lives to help, this time to be a lobbyist in the Shiheng mansion, it is just a trivial matter, how to worry about it." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen was extremely moved and said to Li Xian: "The old man is not wrong, from the adult's words, the old man knows that Lord Xu is a good friend who takes care of each other, no matter what, in the future, the old man is willing to marry Lord Xu Jinlan, and he will never turn his back on this life and this life." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that this was an excellent opportunity, but as soon as he thought about it, he felt that it would be very likely that Xu Youzhen, an old fox, would test his means.

If it is really a means for Xu Youzhen to test herself, if she complies with this matter, she will inevitably be suspected by Xu Youzhen in the future.

Thinking like this, Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen: "My lord, the lower official will definitely not be able to afford this matter, not to mention the great official position, the lower official will not dare to climb high, and Shi Heng in the court has a lot of ears and eyes, if the two of us become brothers, it will inevitably leak the news in the future, Shi Heng, the old fox, will definitely keep an eye on it, and the opportunity for the lower official to work for the adult in the future will be much better." ”

Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian's words, so he opened his mouth and said: "What Lord Xu said is very true, it is the old man who has neglected to overlook, and it is indeed not a good opportunity now, no matter what, Lord Li's proposal to be the old man has never been said, and it is not too late to bring up the old matter again when Shi Heng falls in the future." ”
