Wu Zetian's expression was particularly useful to Princess Taiping.

She chuckled, "Mom, my daughter is saying it's pretty good, right?"

Wu Zetian said without comment: "In your opinion, my dynasty should go to Taozhou to defend heavy troops?"

Princess Taiping blinked and said, "My daughter has a personal opinion, it is true. I'd better consider it carefully and discuss with the Minister of Military Affairs and State!"

Wu Zetian frowned, and even spoke like Xue Shao!

Princess Taiping still smiled, and she had a novel about the charm of a villain.

When Wu Zetian saw her like this, she was both amused and felt a little relieved, and said, "Then according to your opinion, who can lead the army to fight Garqinling?"

"Black teeth are always there." Princess Taiping answered without hesitation.

"How can Heichi Chang stay in Heyuan and guard the gateway to Hexi without leaving?" Wu Zetian said, "What about besides him?"

Princess Taiping kept shaking her head.

"There are no one in my civil and military affairs in the court to fight Garqinling?" Wu Zetian's tone was quite surprised, "Wang Xiaojie? Lou Shide?"

Princess Taiping still kept shaking her head.

Wu Zetian looked at her baby daughter and smiled, "Are you so anxious to get your man back?"

"Mom, the conscience of heaven and earth, my daughter is not in a hurry at all." Princess Taiping said, "My daughter would rather be in Yangzhou for three years and five years and come back than letting him go out for ten days and half a month."

"It's outrageous!" Wu Zetian scolded, "Is it so unbearable to serve the country and share the worries of the king in your opinion?"

"Mom, isn't my daughter just serving the country and sharing her worries for you?" Princess Taiping said, "Xue Lang is no longer in her position and is not doing anything. Mom, just let him go!"

"You!..." Wu Zetian was almost angry, "Then you said just now that no one except Black-Toothed Changzhi can fight Garqinling?"

"Yes!" said Princess Taiping, "but this is just my daughter's own opinion. Mom, are you so unconfident in your civil and military affairs in the court?"

Wu Zetian felt speechless and said to himself: Yes, why do I have such no confidence in the civil and military officials of the court? Is there no general in this Zhou court except Xue Shao?

wrong!

This girl is using provocation to me!

She is retreating to advance, and she actually hopes that I can re-activate Xue Shao immediately. She is still looking at her man!

ridiculous!

How could I fall into your plan?

"Taiping, what you said today is very useful to me." Wu Zetian said, "I will carefully consider your opinions and discuss with the Minister of Military Affairs and State before making a decision."

"Okay!" Princess Taiping smiled faintly without regard, "My daughter is very pleased. After being a princess for more than 20 years, her daughter can finally be of some use to the country!"

"If you don't make you angry to death, you will make the greatest contribution to this country," said Wu Zetian.

"Ah?" Princess Taiping looked confused, "Mom, what are you saying? Isn't my daughter such a very unfilial person?"

"Forget it, don't talk about these." Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, "Did Xue Shao say that when will he be back?"

Princess Taiping shook her head.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said softly, "I still want to listen to his opinions with my own ears."

At this moment, a passenger ship was drifting down the river.

Xue Shao stood on the bow of the boat in a green dress, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and a reed flute was blown melodiously and touchingly by him.

At this moment, he seemed to be the young master of Lantian again.

Beside him was Yu Hongye, and behind him was a group of tourists on the same boat. Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to the moving flute sound.

This is a song they have never heard before. Xue Shao was playing this old song from his previous life just based on his memory. He finally remembered an old friend he had never thought of for a long time.

An Xiaorou.

The song title is "Moonlight Lover". Xue Shao fell in love with this song with her when she was a student, and then tried to play its accompaniment with harmonica, flute and guitar respectively.

Many memories of past and present life are leisurely heard in Xue Shao's mind with this song. They are like the surging river under their feet, telling stories that span thousands of years in their own unique way.

Yu Hongye stood beside Xue Shao, closing his eyes and listening to the music with all his heart.

She felt that she had never been so close to Xue Shao. Every note she heard now was a story and insight hidden deep in Xue Shao's heart.

So romantic, so sad.

So affectionate, so desperate...

The song is over.

The boat was actually quiet. People wiped tears with the corners of their clothes, and then quietly retreated back to the cabin.

They even forgot to cheer.

"Does it sound good?" Xue Shao turned his head and asked Yu Hongye with a smile.

"It sounds not good." Yu Hongye shook her head.

Xue Shao smiled, "I haven't practiced for many years, it seems that I have lost my skills."

"You have not lost your skills. This is the most moving flute sound I have ever heard in my life." Yu Hongye said, "but it is not nice and hurtful."

Xue Shao smiled and left the flute on his waist. He supported his hands on the boat's support and said lightly: "If there were no pain, there would be no men in this world."

"It's a real man." Yu Hongye added.

Xue Shao smiled and said, "It seems that you have a deep understanding."

Yu Hongye said calmly: "I have been in business for many years, and every day I have contacts with different people. Everyone has their own stories, and everyone has different feelings about life. Some people like to write joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on their faces, while others are used to hiding it deep in their hearts."

"According to what you said, I am obviously the latter?" Xue Shao said.

Yu Hongye smiled slightly and said, "Your inner world is a magnificent and heart-wrenching spirit that I can't imagine."

"You have imagined it." Xue Shao said.

Yu Hongye was slightly stunned and looked at Xue Shao.

"Actually, I am far from as complicated and profound as you think." Xue Shao stared at the river water slapped the hull under his feet and said, "I have always wanted to be an ordinary and simple person. But I can't."

"Now you did it." Yu Hongye smiled, "even if it's temporary."

Xue Shao smiled, "Yes. When I found that there were many people listening to my flute behind me, I actually enjoyed it. It felt like I was floating in the sky for a long time, and finally my feet fell on the earth. When I stepped on my feet, I felt at ease."

"Is this why you want to travel alone?" Yu Hongye asked.

"It's one of the reasons!" Xue Shao turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Yu Hongye's face turned slightly red, and he quickly changed the topic, "Are you not worried about the affairs at home at all? And what about the affairs in the court?"

Xue Shao looked back and looked around, and then whispered: "I have never been worried about my family. As for the affairs in the court... I don't do anything in my position. Instead of disturbing mediocre people, it's better to put it aside."

"It makes sense." Yu Hongyeshen nodded with approval, "It is not easy for people to be free and easy in the situation."

"Actually, I'm not very free and easy," said Xue Shao. "Before leaving, I thought about a lot of things, and made estimates and predictions about some of the possible things, and privately told the princess to know. If the queen finds someone to ask for advice, the princess will deal with it and will not involve me."

Yu Hongye smiled slightly, "This is the legendary thing, is it worrying about the country and the people?"

"Haha!" Xue Shao laughed, "I'm not that great. I just don't want this country to suffer too many disasters and die too many people. Although I'm just in my thirties, I feel like I'm a little old. People will become passionate when they get old and don't want to see too much blood and death."

"nonsense."

In history, Yu Hongye scolded Xue Shao for the first time.

Xue Shao smiled, "It's really rare."

"It's the time when I was thirty." Yu Hongye's face turned red quietly and she said, "You are the most real and charming Xue Shao I have ever seen."

Xue Shao laughed, "I have been an official for ten years, and sometimes even I feel a little disgusting. I feel like I am about to lose myself. So this time I stole an opportunity to exile myself and then search for myself."

Yu Hongye frowned slightly, chewing the meaning of Xue Shao's words.

"Don't care, there is no deep meaning in my words." Xue Shao smiled, "I have experienced more things over the years, and the accumulated emotions in my heart have never been able to vent. Once I relax, I will easily talk nonsense."

"There is nothing wrong with this. Bad emotions are to vent them and not to be accumulated all the time." Yu Hongye said, "Sometimes, when I encounter troubles, I will get drunk. When I get drunk, I will cry and laugh. After I wake up, everything will be as usual and I will be safe."

"This is also a good way to relieve stress!" Xue Shao smiled, "What does it look like when you cry and laugh? I really want to see it?"

"Maybe you really have a chance?" Yu Hongye pointed forward, "We are almost in Yangzhou. No one knows us there, so we can advise indulging in the flowers and wine. I even want to provoke a few gangsters in the city and try the feeling of being chased and beaten!"

"Haha!" Xue Shao laughed, "I didn't expect you would want to seek excitement, and you would be so rebellious?"

"Why can't it be?" Yu Hongye smiled, "I am also a normal person, with the same desires and emotions as everyone."

"This is really good." Xue Shao smiled, "When we arrived in Yangzhou, we would go crazy. Let's fight and scold you first. As long as you are not hacked to death in the countryside, everything else will end."

"Ha ha!"

Yu Hongye laughed so much in front of Xue Shao for the first time, "Then it's just a matter of just one sentence, Brother Cheng!"
