After breakfast, Tao Yue quickly said goodbye to the people of the Hai family and his old friends, and rode away from Suzhou City.

On Wednesday, the general arranged for him a group of elite cavalry to escort him and his party back to Gaotai.

To be honest, although the Tao family's guards also have some skills, they are not familiar with the Northwest Wilderness at all. Tao Yue dared to take less than ten people to ride a fast horse on a fast horse for a day and a night in the unfamiliar wilderness, and General Wednesday couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him when he thought about it. Afterwards, in addition to admiring Tao Yue and his guards' ability to identify the direction, he could only be glad that Chu and Hu were now preparing for peace talks, and they were in a critical period, and the people in the nearby area called Ganzhou Wei and Suzhou Wei had cleaned up, otherwise Tao Yue and his party would have been enough to drink a pot of wine if they encountered a few Hu horse bandits. Now he didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly added a few more reliable guards to the other party, just in case.

Before, he didn't know that Tao Yue would leave Gaotai and go to Suzhou on his own, so that's it, but now that he knows, he still lets Tao Yue come and go as he wants, and afterwards let his family know that he will definitely be beaten!

After sending Tao Yue and his party away, General Wednesday discussed with General Gu and Haixi Cliff again, and made some adjustments to the original arrangements for the next few days.

Tao Yue had already come to Suzhou to see his old friends, so Xie Wenzai, Cao and Lu didn't have to go to Gaotai again, but Haixi Cliff still had to go.

Suzhou Wei had arranged for Liu Keren to teach the soldiers and civilians of Gaotaisu to plant new grain seeds, and Liu Keren had been there for several days before the arrival of the Chuhu peace talks. It's just that in the peace negotiation mission on the side of Da Chu, there are many officials who know his identity, and once the two sides meet, they may have a quarrel, and then Liu Keren can withdraw from the teaching mission under the pretext of this matter, and Haixiya will come over to take over, and then Haixiya can take Xie Wenzai and them by the way.

Now Xie Wenzai and their "staff" don't have to appear, but Haixi Cliff still has to continue to rush to the Gaotai Station to "save the scene". Liu Keren did not know the latest changes in the situation, and it was estimated that he had found an opportunity to argue with the people of the peace talks mission two days ago, and he was only afraid that he was already on his way back to Suzhou at this time. If Haixi Cliff does not go, how can the soldiers and civilians of Gaotai continue to learn to grow new grains? Don't offend your own people.

Haixi Cliff is going to set off today, which is only one day later than the original planned departure time, and it does not affect the overall situation. Xie Wenzai didn't have to go with them, but they could stay at home and think about where they would go in the future.

Ma took her children and family members to send her husband Haixi Cliff out, and when she returned to the house, she couldn't help sighing: "What is this called?" Okay, find a job for yourself for no reason, and under the nose of the traitor who came to the capital by herself, I don't know if it will cause trouble. ”

Aunt Cui smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Mrs., it's okay." Isn't this the Tao master protecting our master? Master Tao and Master Xie are so good, can you still watch our master suffer? ”

Ma Shi pursed his lips: "I know that this Lord Tao and his cousin do have a good relationship, and they are still affectionate when they meet after decades of separation." But this Lord Tao looks at the lords, but he may not be very close, maybe he thinks the lord has wronged his cousin! ”

Aunt Cui smiled: "What's the matter." If this Master Tao is such an unreasonable person, how can Master Xie be friendly with him? ”

Ma sighed: "It's been thirty-one years, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows if that person has changed?" Cousin Xie is sincere, and he is a good friend when he was young! However, he is now a high-ranking official of the imperial court, but Cousin Xie is in a broken household, and there is nothing to plot. People are still willing to recognize my cousin as a friend, and we are willing to pull my cousin to help, so we should be grateful! ”

Haixi Cliff only felt ashamed in front of Tao Yue, but the Ma woman was careful, and she had already noticed a little dissatisfaction vaguely revealed by Tao Yue, and she was only wronged for her husband in her heart. But she knew that Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai needed to borrow Tao Yue's power to do something big, so no matter how wronged she was, she would not say much, and only complained to her henchman Aunt Cui for a few words, and then threw this matter away.

Haixiya is afraid that she will have to stay in Gaotaisu for a while longer, so she has to arrange the affairs of the family well, and she can't let her husband worry about it outside. As for the official affairs of the guard, Xie Wenzai will still go over every day to deal with it, and he can also teach Xie Jiao by Taoism, but she doesn't have to worry about it. But when Haixi Cliff left, he took Cui Bo and Cui Dazhuang's father and son away, so that the family had a lot less effective manpower, and Ma suddenly felt a little tired, and he was busy from morning to night every day, and he couldn't rest at all.

With such a busy schedule, where does she have time to pay attention to her granddaughter's daily teaching? can only let Haitang follow his brother Haijiao, listen to Cao and Lu's two elders give cultural lessons, and practice needlework or something in their spare time.

Begonias, of course, don't stay in the house to embroider. Jin Guo has to go to work in the nursery every day recently, she moves more freely, seeing that there is no one else in the courtyard, she immediately rushed to the east wing.

Haijiao was doing the homework assigned by Cao Gengyun, and when he saw his sister enter the house, he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand: "How is it?" What's new? ”

Haitang told him: "I heard Aunt Cui tell Grandma that when the eldest daughter-in-law went to the market to buy vegetables, she saw Lord Liu return to the city. ”

Hai Jiao thoughtfully: "So, he really quarreled with the people of the mission according to the original plan, and then made time for our grandfather?" I just don't know if grandpa is okay at the high platform......"

Haitang was a little curious: "Why did everyone know in advance that Lord Liu would quarrel with people in the Gaotai Institute?" Did anyone in the peace mission ever have a grudge against him? ”

Speaking of which, she is also familiar with Liu Keren, since the Dahai family returned to Suzhou City, Liu Keren has often come to visit the door, and from time to time to eat. He is cheerful and talkative, and he is easy to get along with. Although he is an elderly elder, Begonia has a lot of contact with him, and he likes his personality. This kind of Liu Keren doesn't seem to have a temperament that can easily quarrel with others. The point is, not only did he cooperate with General Wednesday's plan, but he was sure that no one would suspect it.

What is the reason for this?

Hai Jiao thought for a moment: "Speaking of which, I listened to the generals chatting in the guard station on weekdays, and it seems that someone mentioned it...... Is Lord Liu a relative? It was also a dignitary ...... in Beijing."

"Relatives? Dignitaries in Beijing? "Haitang immediately recalled the relatives mentioned by Haijiao," Liu ...... It can't be Concubine Liu's Liu, right? ”

Concubine Liu Shu, the harem concubine who gave birth to the five princes for Emperor Deguang, went crazy because of the death of the five princes, and also accused Sun Guifei of killing her son. Her maiden family is a scholarly eunuch family in the capital, and her reputation has always been very good......

Haijiao suddenly gasped: "The Chang family has a Chang Guifei, in order to let the queen mother and the emperor calm their anger and not blame them, they threw out a promising side branch tribesman as a sacrifice, and the biological father of the second uncle will die in a foreign land." Could it be that the emperor did not treat Concubine Liu Shu for her crimes, but took revenge on the Liu family afterwards and brought the children of his family to the frontier to suffer? ! ”

He was several years older than his sister, and he vaguely remembered that after his father was killed, the family left Suzhou sadly and lent the house to the newcomer Liu Keren. At that time, Liu Keren looked resentful, but the equipment he wore was not ordinary, he had his wife and children by his side, and he was accompanied by several servants......

Of course, if he is really a nobleman from Beijing, this bit of pomp is really nothing. Tao Yue came to the frontier on business and brought a team of elite guards. Liu Keren is far behind.

But if Liu Keren was demoted to Suzhou City because of Concubine Liu Shu's affairs, then the emperor is too scummy, right?

What did Liu Shufei do wrong? She just wanted to find out the cause of her son's death. Even if the emperor wants to protect Sun Guifei and force the Liu family to shut up, it is too much to treat his own son's uncle and the enemy family equally, right?
