.

Fu Nu won a lot, and the guards looked at each other, feeling relieved, and pushed the money to Hong Fu Nu, "My sister-in-law finally won a lot, and she only took action to win five taels of silver. It was a bit too cruel."

Li Jing frowned and his fingers were lit on the table. Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "If you win, you will win. I will invite you to this wine. Whoever invites me and who will be anxious."

Everyone applauded. Hong Fu Nu looked at Li Jing, but pushed all the silver and copper coins back. Everyone was surprised and confused. Hong Fu Nu smiled and said, "I am a strong man. I just want to win, not lose. I can't ask for this money, otherwise I'm afraid that Li Jing will talk to me when he comes home."

Li Jing smiled and said, "That's what it should be."

Xiao Buyi saw Li Jing, Hongfu Nu and Lieutenant General Dong had a vague meaning when he saw each other. He knew that although Li Jing was peaceful, he was proficient in literature and martial arts. He must have seen that Lieutenant General Dong had tampered with it and paid back the money. Hongfu Nu made a small plan, but when it came to the scene, he was still not vague and gave Li Jing face. Although this money was a lot for Hongfu Nu, he was too stingy in front of these people, and I was afraid that he would lose more than he got.

General Xun sighed and said, "Since Hongfu said that, please put away the money."

Although the guards deliberately flattered them, they felt a little painful when they lost money. After hearing this, they were overjoyed and thanked Hongfu Girl. Lt. General Xun stood up and held the wine bowl, and said with a bitter face: "Hongfu, you can return the money you won, but the wine you drink can't be vomited out."

Hongfu's girl was posing for vomiting, and everyone laughed. Lieutenant General Dong said, "Fortunately, I can respect the couple with a bowl of wine." He raised the wine bowl. Li Jinghongfu looked at each other, and raised the wine bowl and said, "Thank you, Lord."

Lieutenant General Xun’s position and Xiao Buyi seemed to be. Li Jing was far behind Lieutenant General Dong, and this call from the master was also supposed to be. Lieutenant General Xun just laughed, but it looked like crying. "Today, only talk about personal friendship, regardless of official position, no matter the adults and villains." After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl. After drinking two more bowls, he stopped. Hongfu Nu had a huge amount of it and actually drank another bowl. Lieutenant General Xun looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "Mr. Xiao..."

"Today I will only talk about personal friendship, regardless of official position, will the lord forget it in a blink of an eye?" Xiao Buyi smiled.

Lt. General Xun laughed silently, "Isn't it the same with Buyi? It's rare to drink with you once, so I'll have to drink it this time." Everyone applauded again. The wine came up like flowing water. Several people really only talked about the fun of life, and didn't talk about the affairs of the court. Everyone knew it well and knew that Hong Funu drank for a while, and had already seen the trick, so they said goodbye to Li Jing first. Lieutenant General Dong and General Feng Lang did not stop him. After drinking for a while, Xiao Buyi also wanted to say goodbye. Lt. General Dong said: "The Taipu Mansion is very far away. Why not give Buyi a ride?"

Xiao Buyi knew that they must have something to look for him. Sun Shaofang, Lieutenant General Dong and Feng Yizhong now seem to be familiar with each other. Is it because they came to find him together this time, just to assassinate Li Zhuguo? Seeing Lieutenant General Dong’s face, Xiao Buyi felt that this matter was very likely. But they were all masters. After being caught for so long, they couldn’t catch Li Shanfei. He wanted to take his back, but he would not enter the game.

"It's cold and the ground is freezing, I'm just afraid that Lieutenant General Dong will work hard." Xiao Buyi refused.

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Lt. General Xun stood up slowly, "I have not done such a thing in more than ten years to be able to watch the scenery on snowy night with a hero like Lord Xiao."

Xiao Buyi was not willing to be humble, so he could only leave the Louwai Tower with everyone and head to Hebei along the bridge. There were no pedestrians on the way. When the soldiers saw the official uniforms of several people, they all avoided them early. Feng Yizhong led the two of them several meters away in front, but Sun Shaofang took the two to the back. Only Xiao Buyi and Lieutenant General Dong were left in the middle. Xiao Buyi saw that the posture was kidnapped, and knew that they were cautious, but they were afraid that Lieutenant General Dong would be heard by others when they talked to him. This made Xiao Buyi even more vigilant and dared not be careless.

"Mr. Xiao must think that I came here for Lishan?" Lieutenant General Dong listened to the sound of horse hooves and looked into the distance.

"Mr. Dong, the thief is invincible. If I can do my best, I will do my best. It's a pity that I can't do anything." Xiao Buyi said.

"Li Shanfei, you can put it on first," Lieutenant General Dong turned his head, "Mr. Xiao, do you know what the people in the court said to you?"

Xiao Buyi felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and his smile remained unabated, "It's probably because I am a little man, right?"

Lieutenant General Xun shook his head and said, "No, they all say that Xiao Buyi is strange and inexplicable, and everything will be done."

"Oh?" Xiao Buyi frowned.

General Xun was full of wrinkles and his smile seemed strange late at night. "They said that they had never seen Lord Xiao fail so far. At first they thought you were lucky and you had noble people help him, but I wanted to try the palace and Wude Hall for two trials, so many people thought that Lord Xiao was really a very smart person."

"Oh." Xiao Buyi didn't know if it was possible, but he knew in his heart that this might not be a good thing. If he had a choice, he would rather be underestimated by others. In that case, he would be more convenient for his actions.

"I heard that Lord Xiao Yi helped the boat girl, but he didn't ask for anything?" Lieutenant General Dong changed the topic.

Xiao Buyi remembered Sun Shaofang, "Sun guards him?"

"He is my apprentice." Lieutenant General Xun smiled and said, "He is one of the disciples I taught. When he told me that you, Yi, helped the boat girl, he praised me. When I heard this, I admired Lord Xiao's chivalrous behavior. If it was said that in front of the Wude Hall, Xiao was the first to be in the palace.

If General Feng Lang loses face, it is considered kind-hearted. That will make Li Jing make friends, and the fact that Yi assists the boat girl can even show Lord Xiao’s nature…”

Xiao Buyi seemed to have inadvertently said: "God Feng Lang told you everything?"

Lieutenant General Xun smiled and said, "To be honest, under the suggestion of Lord Su, General Feng Lang was already ready to lose face and fulfill Lord Xiao's career. However, in this case, General Feng Lang would probably be looked down upon. I am afraid that after he loses this game, his life will probably be difficult, but this is also helpless. But no one expected that Lord Xiao would rather lose his career than take into account General Feng Lang's face and rely on Lord Xiao's care. General Feng Lang is grateful, and the whole Wuhou Mansion admires Lord Xiao very much."

Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment before saying, "So, when Sun Shaofang looked for me..."

"That's not." General Xun knew Xiao Buyi's meaning and shook his head slowly, "My Lord Xiao, before the appointment, I admired him, but I never deliberately wanted to make friends with Lord Xiao. In fact, I just wanted to meet Lord Xiao and talk about something. Sun Shaofang met Lord Xiao by chance. It was his own behavior to make friends with Lord Xiao. It had nothing to do with me. But later he knew about my difficulties and took the initiative to invite Lord Xiao out for me, which was something I had never thought of."

Xiao Buyi knew that he was afraid that he would misunderstand that Sun Shaofang would be at stake, so he smiled and said, "It seems that Lieutenant General Xun is also popular. First, Sun Shaofang relieves his worries, and then General Feng Lang invites him. I am just afraid that my business will not be successful. Instead, I let down Lieutenant General Dong's high hopes."

When he heard that Xiao Buyi was helping, even though Lieutenant General Dong was quite happy, his eyes were caught by Xiao Buyi clearly. He came to practice Yijin Jing himself and was extremely sensitive to subtle changes. Some people said that the words were insincere, and his eyes were disconnected in the coordination of their expressions and movements. However, this Lieutenant General Dong was like a huge and difficult thing. It was not like making a false act. But even if he broke his head, he could not think of it. If it weren't for Li Shanfei, what did Lieutenant General Dong ask him for?

"No matter whether things are successful or not, I am grateful to Lord Xiao for help." Lieutenant General Dong turned over and dismounted. It seemed that he was about to kneel down.

Xiao Buyi was shocked and immediately reached out to support him. He just stretched out his hand and had already supported Lieutenant General Dong, and others immediately got off the horse.

Sun Shaofang and Feng Yizhong were both unable to stop the horse, but they were still far away and did not move forward. Lieutenant General Dong was stunned when he was held by Xiao Buyi. When he looked up at Xiao Buyi, he smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao's martial arts are unfathomable, but this move is inevitable."

"Mr. Dong is too much." Xiao Buyi was a little surprised that Lieutenant General Dong was so flattering, so why would there be no success?

"It's not an over-reward." Lieutenant General Xun shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiao's every move is accurate, and he can easily hold the strength appropriately. If he said that when he was competing with General Feng Lang, he used his strength to resist the lack of skills, now it seems that Master Xiao..." Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Dong shook his head, "Look at me, I always forget other things when talking about martial arts, otherwise I wouldn't be called a martial arts fanatic. But Lord Xiao can rest assured that what I said today will never mention to the second person."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Mr. Dong, get on the horse."

Lieutenant General Xun turned over and the horse, and the few people moved forward slowly again. Lieutenant General Dong suddenly said for a moment: "In fact, Princess Wuyou is my granddaughter. I wonder if Lord Xiao knows?"

Xiao Buyi was surprised. He vaguely figured out something, but he was not sure, "I don't know whether Lieutenant General Xun or the royal relative, then..."

"I have not seen the royal relatives, but I have already seen it indifferent." Lieutenant General Dong sighed, "I was originally a martial man with a straightforward personality. Later, I was in the officialdom for many years and was beaten without anger. I just felt that being ordinary is a blessing, but I didn't expect that it would be impossible for people to be ordinary in the temple..."

Lieutenant General Xun has always been hiding and hesitating. As soon as the topic was spoken out, he no longer avoided it and said straight: "Mr. Xiao thought Princess Wuyou was my granddaughter, so I just need to enjoy a peaceful life? In fact, it is not the case! Master, alas," Lieutenant General Dong was worried when he mentioned Yang Guang, "When Wuyou's mother was there, she worked hard. I think Lord Xiao knew the reason."

Xiao Buyi was stunned, "How do I know?" He really didn't know. When Lieutenant General Dong saw Xiao Buyi, he smiled, "Oh, I'm so confused. Lord Xiao is a big official now, but he still doesn't know much about the palace and the past. When Empress Dugu was there, he hated several sons to take concubines. The emperor, alas, he married a little daughter, so he naturally didn't dare to let Empress Dugu know. The eldest prince died and took concubines everywhere, so he was disgusted by Empress Dugu and deposed the prince. Although the young daughter married the emperor, she was always shameful."

Only then did Xiao Buyi realize that Yang Guang was also a very capable person. He also took a concubine, but he was much smarter. Now he seems to be very affectionate with the queen. Needless to say, it is definitely not enough to describe him.

"The little girl has always been depressed because she couldn't stand it, and passed away early." Lieutenant General Dong said this, and her face felt even more sad and helpless. "Wuyou named her name and Wuyou. But her mother hopes not to live a carefree life like her in this life, and she is also satisfied with the spirit of heaven."

Lieutenant General Xun said this, turned his head and looked into the distance and said, "It's been frequent this year."

Xiao Buyi heard his voice choked and pretended to be calm. When he turned his head, tears were hidden in the corner of his eyes. He felt that the old man was pitiful. He deliberately changed the topic. Of course, it was love.

I was afraid of crying on the spot.

"Yes, I rarely see so much snow." Xiao Buyi responded.

After a long time, Lieutenant General Dong turned around, "But things in the world are often so strange. A person named Buyi may be a high-ranking official, and a person named Wuyou may not be happy for the rest of his life."

When Xiao Buyi saw him pulling him, he replied, "Mr. Dong is right. Eight out of ten people are unsatisfied in everything. Many times, it is better to be open-minded."

"Thank you for your comfort. Eight out of ten people are not satisfied with everything?" Lieutenant General Dong sighed: "Mr. Xiao always has witty words, but this sentence seems to be a feeling of vicissitudes. It seems to be a young man's emotion. I must be because of my rich experience. After my daughter passed away, I will only be thinking about Wuyou in this life, but she." Lieutenant Dong looked full of sadness when he said this. "I heard that Lord Xiao has seen Wuyou?"

Seeing Xiao Buyi nodding, Lieutenant General Dong sighed, "Does Lord Xiao think she has no worries?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head and thought to himself that even you, the old man, could not catch up with this worry-free sorrow.

"I have long been disgusted by the intrigues of the court," said Lieutenant General Dong in a low voice: "Maybe I feel sorry for Wuyou's mother, the emperor has become a favorite of Wuyou. When Zhu Guo saw this, he became interested. If he wanted to win over me, he would propose marriage to the emperor and ask the emperor to betroth Wuyou to his son."

Xiao Buyi frowned and thought to himself that Li Zhuguo married Yang Guang's sister's daughter, and his son wanted to take Yang Guang's daughter. This generation is chaotic. The customs of the ancients made people ashamed today. I believe that Yang Guang wanted my wife and this custom was also influenced by this custom.

"Li Zhuguo's son was a playboy, so Wuyou certainly didn't like it, so he decided to refuse this marriage." Lieutenant General Xun sighed, "But this refusal happened. Li Zhuguo didn't say anything at that time, but just endured it. Wuyou didn't take it seriously at that time. Later, he just tried to persuade the emperor not to conquer Goryeo. Unexpectedly, the emperor was furious and became alienated from Wuyou since then."

Xiao Buyi was very stern about this matter and secretly warned himself not to persuade Yang Guang and Gaoli, otherwise the Taifu today and the Pujie tomorrow would be a pity.

"Wuyou was alienated by the emperor. I have always refused to win over Li Zhuguo. Then Li Zhuguo had the idea of ​​dealing with Wuyou. Now everyone knows that Shibi Khan is far less respectful than Qimin Khan. When Changsun Sheng was there, he used strange plans to split the Turks into the world, and internal struggles continued, so that the Turks would not become a major concern in our Great Sui Dynasty. But now Shibi Khan's power is becoming stronger and he always disturbs the border, which makes the emperor very worried. Li Zhuguo just offered a plan and said that

Now that the Eastern Turks are in a strong position, it is better to follow the example of Changsun Sheng and find a way to divide the Eastern Turks into the two parts of the north and south. Shibi Khan had a younger brother named Chi Jishe. If Princess Wuyou betrothed him as his wife and named him the Khan in the south, it would be impossible to fear the internal struggle of the Turks. The emperor was originally displeased with Wuyou, and when he heard this suggestion, he was happy to promise. It was a pity that Wuyou, loyal Genggeng had ended up like this for his father."

When Lieutenant General Xun said this, he sighed and was speechless for a long time.

Xiao Buyi was riding a horse and felt sad. It was hard to be a good person these days. He was born under the red flag, grew up in the sun, and had a red root. But after a few months on the grassland, Dongdu was always on guard against the plot. Today, for the future development of the ranch, he stepped on the horse and saw that he had changed a lot. Wuyou was a little naive and didn't know how to judge the situation and the ministers could not disobey. As for her, a woman, she actually wanted to persuade Yang Guang, a manic person. She was really stupid and naive.

"I am just a little servant Shaoqing," Xiao Buyi finally said: "I am a thousand miles apart from Li Zhuguo. If Lord Dong thinks of me, I am afraid I don't think it's possible."

Lt. General Xun looked eager, "Mr. Xiao, I have no intention of forcing others to do anything, and I dare not let Lord Xiao and Li Zhuguo go against him. Besides, now that things have come to this point, I am afraid that even if Li Zhuguo repents, I will not be able to stop Wuyou from going out to the frontier to marry. I know that Lord Xiao is the queen's distant nephew. This time the queen asked for an official position for Lord Xiao, we all saw it and knew that Lord Xiao was extremely important in front of the queen. In addition, the emperor also admired Lord Xiao very much. I took the liberty and only asked Lord Xiao to have the opportunity to talk to the emperor and the queen, so that Wuyou would not go out to the frontier, or, or, alas..."

Lieutenant General Xun sighed, but Xiao Buyi had known his intentions before. He wanted to tell the emperor that if it really didn't work, he would change his own person and just put himself in the other side. Lieutenant General Dong obviously knew the pain, so it would be difficult to tell others to go.

"I know I am taking the liberty to ask for the embarrassment of Lord Xiao." Lieutenant General Dong looked at Xiao Buyi beggingly, "It's just that Lord Xiao is very smart and arrogant. Even the boat girl whom I never knew would give her help, without asking for anything in return. I only have Wuyou, the granddaughter, who dares not say thank you, nor do I give you ordinary things to Lord Xiao. As long as Lord Xiao helps Wuyou, my head is even if Lord Xiao is from in the future, I will give you instructions, and I will be with these people." Lieutenant General Dong reached out and pointed to the guards and said, "My Lord Xiao's order, we can go all in the fire and water!"
