Tonight, the conversation between Xue Shao and Wu Zetian was not so pleasant. Obviously, Wu Zetian was a little angry about Xue Shao's "privately blocking the memorial". Xue Shao was not so worried about Wu Zetian's resentment from now on because of this incident. She was able to climb to where she is today, so she was not short of such a little bit of ambition. What he was really worried about was how Wu Zetian would deal with Wang Fangyi?

Compared with Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi has a higher reputation and greater influence in the army, especially his current position is more important. It can be said that half of the Western Regions is now supported by Wang Fangyi.

Such a national general is like the central beam of a house, how can it be demolished at will?

The conversation ended in a bad mood. ｜｜｜｜ Novel Wu Zetian also asked Princess Taiping to go home with Xue Shao, saying that Xue Shao came to the palace to pick her up home because she missed her wife. But Princess Taiping obviously was not so easy to be fooled. On the way home, she asked: "What did you talk to your mother about today? Why did her mother's mood become so corrupt that she actually drove me home?"

"Nothing." Xue Shao's alcoholism broke out a little, pressing his forehead, not wanting to speak.

"Oh..." Princess Taiping sighed softly, and did not ask any further. She reached out to press Xue Shao on the back of her neck, which made him feel much more comfortable.

The carriage walked out of the palace in a scattered manner, and Wu Ming, Guo An and Yue Nu followed along.

Princess Taiping lifted the curtain and looked outside, and said, "If you go out in the future, remember to bring them with you."

Xue Shao asked, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, it may not be very peaceful." Princess Taiping said.

Xue Shao smiled, "Will Princess Taiping's man be unhappy?"

"Who is joking with you?" Princess Taiping's expression was quite serious.

Xue Shao woke up and said, "You have been in the palace recently. Could you hear any more wind?"

"I don't know if it's true." Princess Taiping seemed a little worried and whispered: "Yesterday my mother called Wu Chengsi to the inner court and scolded him fiercely in private. What are you guessing it's because of it?"

Xue Shao shook his head.

"Sometimes ago, the Luoyang Order Wei Yuanzhong cracked a murder case in the capital. Following the clues, he accidentally discovered the traces of Mengjin Shuixiao." Princess Taiping said, "It was the group of people who assassinated you on the eve of the last time his father died."

Xue Shao suddenly woke up halfway through the wine, "Aren't this group of people Yuan Zhen's minions? Are they coming to Luoyang again?"

"They are Yuanzhen's minions, but they were originally Tang people, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish among our people. In addition, the borders between the two countries and the alliance are now open, and they are likely to return to the Central Plains." Princess Taiping said, "If only Mengjin Shuixiao was the only one. But Wei Yuanzhong discovered a trace of a person he shouldn't have discovered."

Xue Shao woke up and said, "Li Xiantong?!"

"Yes!" said Princess Taiping, "He should have died long ago, but he has lived to this day."

"That's right..." Xue Shao took a deep breath, "Last time he accompanied Wu Chengsi to inspect Hebei, and gave Wu Chengsi a lot of bad ideas. In the end, Wu Chengsi captured Li Xiantong as a scapegoat and was imprisoned. Logically speaking, Wu Chengsi should have killed Li Xiantong and silenced as soon as possible, so how could he let him go?"

"It's not letting go, it's running away." Princess Taiping said, "I secretly heard my mother scolding Wu Chengsi, and Wu Chengsi had to admit it in a scammer. After he captured Li Xiantong and was imprisoned, he wanted to kill him to silence him, but when he was about to take action, Li Xiantong killed someone with the help of a group of black-clad assassins. Wu Chengsi was panicked and had to find an irrefutable body to burn it, lied that it was a fire in the prison, Li Xiantong had already died. Now it seems that Li Xiantong is probably a member of Meng Jin Shuixiao. The person who saved him was Meng Jin Shuixiao."

Xue Shao nodded thoughtfully, "At that time, the frontier war was urgent, and Xue Laoshuai and I hurried back to Daizhou, and no longer cared about Li Xiantong's affairs. I didn't expect that this guy would be dead without being stiff and stagnant."

"So, you have to be careful." Princess Taiping said, "If you say that the person who hates you the most in this world is definitely Li Xiantong. In addition, he is a member of Meng Jin Shuixiao, then it may be Yuanzhen's people. They disappeared for so long and suddenly appeared in the territory of Shendu, and they were probably for you."

Xue Shao lifted the curtain of the car, "Wu Ming and Guo An, take strict vigilance from now on and closely protect all families."

The two of them agreed to the promise together, knowing that something must be a big deal.

Princess Taiping looked at the car board in a daze, with a strange light shining in her eyes.

"What are you thinking?" Xue Shao asked.

Princess Taiping said: "I'm thinking that it's always the enemy who is dark and I'm not so good at guarding. What should I think of to change this situation?"

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Can we hide it too?"

Princess Taiping shook her head seriously, "We two must not be able to hide it. But... your scouts and troops can definitely hide it."

"It makes sense!" Xue Shao's eyes lit up. Agent spy warfare is my secret skill. Can I still be afraid of you ancient people?

When he returned home, Xue Shao called Wu Ming and Guo An to the study and gave some advice. The next day, at dawn, almost all the two hundred scouts and troops around Xue Shao disappeared, leaving only a team of ten people led by Guo An as a sergeant.

The Taiping Princess Mansion was also strengthened. Linlang and the Twenty-Squad Jian were responsible for protecting the women and children of Princess Taiping and Chen Xian'er. Yuenu had the most special responsibilities. She put on the armor when she joined the army, was responsible for commanding and protecting the fifty-armored soldiers of Princess Taiping, and took charge of the security responsibilities of the Princess' Mansion. These armored soldiers were the guards and guards of honor given to Princess Taiping by Wu Zetian.

There was no need to go to court the next day, Xue Shao planned to spend more time with his family at home and go to the official office to do business in the afternoon. Just as lunch came to his house, an unexpected guest came.

Helian Lonely River!

If it weren't for his sudden appearance in front of him, Xue Shao would have almost forgotten that he had a friend like him, a big green forest owl, and he was also Guo Yuanzhen's sworn brother.

Xue Shao placed wine to wait.

"Mr. Helian, when will he go back to Guanzhong?" Xue Shao asked.

Helian Guchuan immediately smiled, "In the world, only Prince Xue will call me a bandit, Mr.."

"The hero doesn't ask where it comes from." Xue Shao smiled, "Didn't you always follow Di Gong after you were released from prison?"

"That's right. Duke Di has finished his errand to appease Helong and returned to Beijing to submit an order." Helian Guchuan said, "The first thing I did when I arrived in Luoyang was to visit my life-saving benefactor Xue."

"The words are so serious." Xue Shao smiled, "I was just a small task at that time. The key was that you made meritorious service and you were able to pardon me for your crimes and demerits."

"From now on, I will no longer follow Di Gong." Helian Guchuan suddenly said.

Xue Shao felt a little strange, "Why?"

"Di Gong is too upright and strict, and I am used to acting erratic after all." Helian Guchuan said, "Although Duke is very tolerant of me to me, I can't bear to cause trouble or smear on my face anymore. Therefore, I can only part ways with him. But despite this, I still respect Duke Di deeply. He is the most admired person he has ever seen."

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Since you have different opinions, you have to stop working together."

A brilliant color suddenly burst into Helian Guchuan's eyes, "Mr. Xue, can you dare to take it in?"

Xue Shao immediately smiled, "I know why you came."

"Since you know, Mr. Xue should be taken in." Helian Guchuan stood up solemnly, clasped his fists and bowed one knee, "From now on, Mr. Xue's private part, he will die in the fire and water!"

"Please get up." Xue Shao said, "The division is a bad place. I dare not accept you as a division, otherwise Guo Yuanzhen would not be spared. You can just be a clerk in Princess Taiping's Mansion. If you follow me in, you can have a name."

"Everything depends on the orders of the prince-consort!" Helian Guchuan looked at him with a stern look.

Xue Shao smiled, "You are Guo Yuanzhen's righteous brother, that's my brother. There is no need to be so disagreeable between brothers. We sit down and drink and talk."

"Okay!" Helian Guchuan was very refreshed. He waved his sleeves and sat down again. He poured a full bowl of wine to Xue Shao. "Now in this world, there are not many people who dare to call him brothers and brothers to Helian Guchuan. Just because of the word "brother", I respect the prince consort!"

"please!"

After three rounds of wine.

Helian Guchuan said: "I may know about Mengjin Shuixiao's reappearance in Guanzhong earlier than the Luozhou government. This matter was handled by me, so it is still my duty now. Don't worry, the prince consort, I will investigate the matter as soon as possible and report it to the prince consort's district office."

"I believe in you." Xue Shao raised his glass with a smile, "Drinking again!"

"Thank you, I won't drink anymore." Helian Guchuan stood up and bowed with his fists, "Helian Guchuan is used to walking in the dark and has always been alone. Now I'll say goodbye. If the prince-in-law wants to summon me, he can send someone to Xiaozhu, Zhangtai, Xianyang County to send me a message. There is only a small widow living in secluded place, which is my old lover. If I have news, I will come to report it."

"Okay." Xue Shao casually took off his belt and handed it on it, containing some luxurious spices and pearls. "You just returned to Beijing, and this little thing should be useful."

Helian Guchuan didn't hesitate to reach out and took it. He clasped his fists and bowed and stopped talking, and left.

Xue Shao looked at his back and smiled, then returned to the main hall to continue having dinner with Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping looked up and down Xue Shao, and said in surprise: "I just drank alcohol in a short while. Don't you have to go to the official office in the afternoon? Hey, where are the sachets I gave you?"

"I've given it to someone."

"You, you!..." Princess Taiping was outraged, "That was a sachet I made myself, containing the best sea pearls tributed by Silla Kingdom. Do you know that that pearl can buy a top-class manor in Shendu? There are six, a total of six!!"

Xue Shao curled his lips, "Didn't you teach me that gold and silver are scattered? That sea and Zhuhai are hanging on my waist are no different from dead fish. It is given to the heroes who are righteous and righteous, but they can play a great role."

"...I'm so angry!" Princess Taiping glared at Xue Shao angrily, "You are such a prodigal son!"

Xue Shao laughed loudly, "I am not a loser, how can I seem to be rich and capable of managing the family? Don't be angry, open your mouth and eat a bite of fish sashimi!"

Princess Taiping curled her lips angrily, but obediently ate the fish sashimi that Xue Shao fed, and then said, "Is that person called Helian Guchuan? Is that the last time you released it from the Heavenly Prison, Guo Yuanzhen's righteous brother?"

"right."

"Mengjin Shuixiao's big nemesis, so that's it." A smile appeared on Princess Taiping's face, "Next time he comes, remember to give some horses and swords."

"My wife is wise. Gold and silver are scattered, and people's hearts are gathered!" Xue Shao smiled and said, "Open your mouth!"
