There is a low mountain in the north of Xiaojiazhuang Village, Xiao Rui ordered someone to dig a wine cellar in the shade, and the wine is stored in the cellar.

"Huh? Uncle Tiger, do you often ask someone to clean this wine cellar? The ground is pretty clean. ”

As the village head, Xiao Hu scratched his head and said, "No! You have explained that the wine cellar should be cool and ventilated, but you should not enter the wine room often, so as not to pollute the natural atmosphere in the wine cellar by people, so you do not usually send people to come except for opening the altar to get wine. ”

"Then how can there be a broom mark on the ground?"

Everyone looked at it, indeed, as if it had not been swept for a few days.

"Has anyone been here?"

"Who is so enthusiastic that he consciously comes to sweep the floor?"

Xiao Hu said angrily: "Didn't I explain to everyone, there are still people who don't follow the rules of the wine cellar?" Check back ......"

Xiao Rui waved his hand to stop, "Wait, go and see if there is less wine in the wine cellar?" ”

"Huh? Prince, are you saying that someone came to steal wine? ”

"Hehe, it doesn't have to be human."

Xiao Rui seemed to see the clues, followed the traces to a large wine vat, knocked it, and there was an empty sound inside.

The crowd exclaimed, "This is an unopened vat, it should be full, why does it sound like it's empty?" ”

Xiao Hu hurriedly opened it and took a look, "It's over, there's only a bottom left." Son, I'll go back and investigate thoroughly, and I will definitely find out who stole the wine and drank it. ”

Li Junxian proposed beside him: "If I knew that there were still people stealing wine, then I would have arranged a guard in the wine cellar." ”

Xiao Hu blamed himself: "What the general said is true. It's careless. I thought that Xiaojiazhuang was all his own people, and there were Xuanjia Army patrols and guards outside, so it was impossible for anyone to come and steal wine, who would think about it......"

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "No need, look at the footprints in this corner." ”

Everyone removed the empty wine vat and looked closely, and there were really half footprints that had not been cleaned, but ...... That's a big footprint.

"Are the footprints of the Great White?" Li Junxian exclaimed.

Everyone was stunned, "So, it's the big white ape who steals the wine?" However, I haven't heard that the great white ape loves wine. ”

Xiao Rui explained with a smile: "I'm afraid that Panda Erhua is also an accomplice, and Xiao Changle taught them." Let's go, I'll clean them up when I get back. Let's go and see the peach blossom brew first, don't have an accident. ”

Li Junxian smiled dumbly, "These two strange beasts are really smart, don't you count stealing wine and drinking, and you still know how to clean up traces?" If it weren't for Childe's carefulness, it would not be easy to find out. ”

Xiao Hu knocked on the wine vat one by one in distress, "This is all money, a pound of wine can be sold for a tael of gold......"

……

Xiao Rui took Li Junxian and came back happily with two small jars of peach blossom brewing.

But as soon as I entered the yard, I was dumbfounded, this, what's going on?

I saw that in the courtyard, Emperor Li Er was standing on the top with an ugly face, and Feng Zhidai was kneeling on the ground in front of him, his face full of stubbornness and persistence, staring at the emperor.

Finished......

Xiao Rui slapped his forehead, looking at the situation, he didn't need to ask to know that Feng Zhidai had a brain pump, and he actually took the initiative to have a showdown with the emperor? The emperor has already decided on the county lord and his relatives, and now you want the emperor to go back on his word? For you personally?

Why are you? With your father who is the overlord of Lingnan?

You must know that the emperor is facing pressure from neighboring countries, which one is not more stressed than your father?

"Father-in-law, hurry up, come and taste the latest peach blossom brew, the first altar of this year......" Xiao Rui smiled and went up to play the round.

Li Er snorted coldly: "You kid did a good thing!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the house, leaving behind the embarrassed Xiao Rui and Feng Zhidai who was confused on the ground.

"Brother Feng, you! Too impulsive. ”

"If you don't confess, Your Majesty will take the county lord away today."

"Impossible! If you come to bring people, you don't need Your Majesty to come in person. It's good for you not to admit yourself, and now Your Majesty is difficult to do. ”

Yes?

After Xiao Rui's explanation, Feng Zhidai was dumbfounded, "Then what now?" ”

Xiao Rui spread his hands: "I don't know, forget it, looking at what Your Majesty meant just now, obviously I don't plan to pursue it, I want to pretend not to know." If you take the county lord to avoid it, don't participate in the family banquet. I'm going to probe the wind. ”

"No, I heard that Yan'er is begging for the queen."

Burst......

You, you're a couple!

asked Feng Zhidai to be dragged away, Xiao Rui walked into the living room, and at this time, only the emperor was drinking tea in the living room.

Xiao Rui walked over and personally added a cup, and then sat down next to him to accompany him, the two were silent for a long time, Xiao Rui took the initiative to ask: "Father-in-law, if it drags on for three months, I will let them retreat." ”

Li Er asked in a deep voice: "I know your plan to destroy Gaochang, and I have agreed to send Hou Junji to Yumen Pass." But have you ever thought about it? What if the destruction of the country can't deter them? ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "It's impossible to destroy the country and not be able to deter them." ”

"You can deter outsiders, but what about the civil officials in the court? Now that the candidate has been selected, no matter who the flowers are, Snow Goose will be married, otherwise Datang will be dishonest. In the eyes of civil officials, the sin of losing trust is greater than the shame of land cession. Li Er pointed out the key point, "If the DPRK and Chinese are single-minded, Mo said that the five countries around them have not been allied, even if they really join forces to send troops, Shu will not be afraid." ”

Xiao Rui was silent, isn't it, I can kill people with my hands on outsiders, but internally, I don't have any tricks to take the group of corrupt civil officials in the court, otherwise I wouldn't have hid in Xiaojiazhuang and didn't dare to go out.

"You kid, why are you involved in Feng Zhidai? Isn't that messy enough? Li Er reprimanded.

Xiao Rui scratched his head, "It's not me who pulled the thread, it's Feng Zhidai who has taken a fancy to the county lord." ”

"If you don't agree, then the kid dares to do it?"

Xiao Rui knew that he was wrong, nodded and said: "Father-in-law, you can also see that Emperor Li Daozong is also reluctant, otherwise he will not let his daughter come to me." Because of his son's affair, I always felt that I owed him a favor, so I wanted to try to help him keep his daughter, which can be regarded as repaying his favor. ”

Li Er sighed and said, "I wronged him." But now that the water is hard to recover, how to keep the snow geese? For the face of the royal family and the credibility of Datang, she must choose a family to marry. ”

Wait a minute......

Xiao Rui had a flash of inspiration, "There you have it!" Why don't you choose Gaochang? ”

Gao Chang?

Li Er's eyes lit up, "You kid...... Do you want to take advantage of Gaochang's ignorance and now give them the family affair, but marrying the princess is not overnight, and when everything is negotiated and married, Gaochang has been wiped out by the Western Turks, so the marriage contract will naturally be invalidated. Ha ha! Wonderful! ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Not bad." Of course, didn't the imperial court want to drive a wedge between them? You have to ask a few prime ministers to come up with a trick, how to give this benefit to Gaochang, and make them mess up. ”

"This is simple, they are all old people who seek the country, and there are many methods." Li Erxi smiled, as if a big stone in his chest had fallen to the ground, "Wait a minute, you will cook a few dishes yourself, and I will taste this peach blossom brew." ”
