Looking at the monk in front of him who was shaking with his big ass, Xue Shao couldn't help but want to laugh, but he just said lightly: "Master doesn't have to be like this. Sit down and let's have a chat. ”

Liu Huaiyi also realized that he seemed to be a little exaggerated, so he sat back again, but he couldn't hide the panic on his face.

"If I tell a story, would the master like to hear it?" Xue Shaodao.

"Please speak, the little monk listens."

Xue Shao said while playing chess: "I remember that there was a time when I first got married, Princess Taiping fell in love with raising cats. There was an exotic Persian cat who was so likable to her that she sometimes had to hold her even when she slept. ”

"Then one day, I went to play with this cat. Unexpectedly, it scratched one of my paws and bled a little. Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Guess what the princess did?" ”

Liu Huaiyi seemed to understand the intention of Xue Shao's story, and said with a shocked face: "Killed? ”

"Nope. The princess when she was newly married was unusually gentle and never easily killed. Xue Shao said lightly: "She just raised a few more cats, and then fed them the best food and the best milk in front of the Persian cat every day, but she didn't care about the Persian cat anymore, and she didn't even let it enter the bedroom." ”

Not long after, the Persian cat ran away from home without a sound. Another day, it was found dead in the streets, as if it had been stoned to death by a beggar. ”

On Liu Huaiyi's face and forehead, bursts of cold sweat plummeted, and his face turned a little pale. He seemed to realize why he had fallen out of favor recently. It's not just the reason why Shen Nan is angry, but he has been pampered and arrogant recently, and he has repeatedly had trouble with the empress, making her angry and angry! Maybe the empress won't kill herself for the time being, but Shen Nanqian has already appeared, just like Princess Taiping has raised those cats again!

"I—What should I do?" Liu Huaiyi was frightened and muttered.

"Master, it's time for you to fall." Xue Shao pointed to the chessboard and said with a faint smile: "If the Persian cat hadn't scratched me, maybe it would have been Princess Taiping's most beloved pet by now." But a pet is a pet, and it should never forget who it is. As soon as it dares to show its claws to its master, that is the end of its favored days. ”

"Yes...... Yes, that's exactly what the colt said! Little monk, it's time to repent! Liu Huaiyi hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead a few times, and whispered: "So far, can the little monk still be saved?" ”

"There is a saying in "Wenzi Shangde" that it is better to complain about others than to feel sorry for yourself, and it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself." Xue Shao smiled and said, "Master, your fate is actually in your own hands. ”

Liu Huaiyi's eyes lit up, "In this way, the little monk still has room for remedy?" ”

Xue Shao was noncommittal. Of course, he wouldn't tell Liu Huaiyi how Wu Zetian complained to Princess Taiping in private. Up to now, Wu Zetian still remembered some old feelings and didn't want to attack Liu Huaiyi. But if he still does not rein in and does not repent, sooner or later he will be dead. Princess Taiping even accepted her mother, but if necessary, she could do it in private.

This kind of "family affairs" is, of course, not easy to entrust outsiders to meddle.

"Xue Yuma, please give me some guidance and save the little monk!" Liu Huaiyi knelt down and kowtowed again, and almost cried.

"What should be said, I have already said." Xue Shao said, "How to do it is all up to the master himself." ”

"That's it...... Is there no other remedy? Liu Huaiyi looked at Xue Shao with horror and expectation.

Xue Shao held a chess piece between his fingers and muttered for a moment, then smiled slightly, "You can remedy it yourself before you change your mind first, and see if the empress can change her mind." If so, I will have my own plan to help you when the time comes. ”

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, pony!! ”

In the evening, Xue Shao's family left the White Horse Temple and returned home.

Princess Taiping sat in the car, lifted the window and looked out a few times, and asked puzzledly: "Xue Lang, did Liu Huaiyi hit the evil today?" ”

"How?" Xue Shao asked.

"He kept nodding at us and doing everything he could, just servile." Princess Taiping said, "This is not like his usual style. In the past, when he met me in the palace, he was very respectful and rarely saluted. At that time, I may have really been just a junior in his heart! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Well, now it's reversed, and you've become his aunt!" ”

Princess Taiping said with surprise and laughter: "How can this be? ”

Xue Shao was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Liu Huaiyi is still a little valuable now. We're going to find a way to keep him from dying and be of use to me. ”

Princess Taiping's eyes lit up, "Fighting poison with poison?" ”

"Madame is wise." Xue Shao nodded, "Wu Chengsi and the others have nothing to fear, but they will give up three points to Liu Huaiyi. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi brothers rushed to lead the horse for Liu Huaiyi, do you remember? ”

"Of course!"

"Also, it's not that easy to deal with cool officials. If they have our eyeliner and helpers inside, they can do more with less. Suo Yuanli is a good candidate. As for what kind of retribution he will suffer in the future for doing so many bad things, it is not something we can control. Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "There is never an eternal enemy or an eternal friend in this world. Even our enemies will be used by us one day. You tell me? ”

"Xue Lang, you're so smart!" Princess Taiping was excited, turned over and sat on Xue Shao's lap and hugged him, and kissed him on the face.

……

Mobei, in the capital of the mountain tent.

Gu Lu Khan recruited a member of the Tang Dynasty to be a horse, which is no longer news on the grassland, some people oppose and some people are puzzled, and those who praise sincerity are in the minority. Today is the day of their wedding, and for the sake of the bones, the nobles of the steppe and the chiefs of various departments still came to the banquet to celebrate.

The wedding was very grand and lively. Although this princess is only the righteous daughter adopted by the Khan, now she is a bone and a fart he puts on makes various tribes fight for it. He has already performed his power and prestige to the extreme on the grassland. Not to mention his righteous daughter, even his manu can be superior when he goes out.

The principle of the prime minister's concierge and the seven rank officials is also common on the grassland.

The wedding feast lasted for seven days, and the flowing feast continued day and night. Anyone who was not drunk in the tent would be punished, and the chieftain who left the battle would be defeated by the Khan. Gu Lulu's orders were absurd and domineering, but everyone obeyed them unhindered.

However, Ai Yan is not subject to this restriction.

For this sister of the same clan, Gu Lulu has always given him special respect. After successfully persuading Wang Yu that day, he also offered to make Krakus and his two sons become brothers, and since then they have been inseparable from each other in studying and practicing martial arts together.

The men on the grassland attach great importance to such a thing as "righteousness", and sometimes the feelings between brothers will even exceed that of brothers.

Gu Lulu's intention is also obvious, he hopes that Ai Yan can sincerely serve himself from now on, and he hopes that Krakus can become his son's right-hand man in the future.

This is of course a great good thing for Ai Yan. At least she was given some freedom, and the guards of the Bone and Silent Whispers had weakened against her.

On the fifth day of the wedding, there were few sober people in the tent. Ai Yan took advantage of Gu Lulu's happiness and made a small request, saying that he wanted to take Krakus to practice hunting, and he was immediately allowed. Gu Lulu sent twenty wolf horsemen to act as guards and accompany them on hunting.

Ai Yan and his party left the tooth tent and walked to the nearest hunting ground. Xuanyunzi also came with him.

The Ashid tribe's Yuzachi sheep land is the nearest hunting ground. In addition to raising cattle, sheep and horses, it is also a haunt of wild yellow sheep. Yellow mutton has always been the favorite and most precious delicacy of the grassland people. Except for the nobility, the average civilian soldier was easily unfazed, and they were not even qualified to hunt yellow sheep unless they were granted permission by their privileges.

When they arrived here, the wolf riders were even more impatient than Ai Yan, so they showed their skills and began to hunt yellow sheep. Because Ai Yan said that the yellow sheep hunted today were roasted and eaten on the spot, which was simply a big year for ordinary wolf knights.

They left only four men to continue to serve as escorts. Krakus was too young to take part in such a hunt. So Ai Yan took the four with him to the shepherd here and asked for some sheep so that his children could practice archery.

The sheep here belonged to the khans and nobles, and the shepherds were mostly slaves or commoners employed by the khans and nobles. Ai Yan found four or five sheepfolds in a row and said that he didn't pick a suitable one, and the four wolf knights said that they were puzzled but didn't say much. After all, it is a short mouth that eats people, and they now think that Princess Aiyan is quite good.

Finally, Ai Yan found the mute shepherd in black clothes and black robes that Wang Yu said, Yogromon Erba.

Although he was well disguised, Xuan Yunzi still recognized him as Xue Chuyu. So she gestured to Ai Yan with her eyes - it was him!

Xue Chuyu obviously recognized Xuan Yunzi as well, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I like the sheep fed by this shepherd, and it is especially suitable for my son to practice martial arts." Ai Yan said to the two wolf knights, "I want to bring a few more sheep back and raise them myself, so that I don't have to come here often in the future." Do you think it's feasible? ”

How could the wolf knights raise the bar with Ai Yan because of this little thing, and nodded one after another and said, the princess said that it counts.

"Then I will also want this shepherd, and he will be my household slave from now on, and he will be responsible for helping me feed the sheep." Ai Yan looked left and right at the two wolf knights with embarrassed faces, and said, "Why don't I go and ask the Khan to let you two help me feed the sheep?" ”

The wolf knight suddenly panicked, and stepped forward to grab the black-clothed mute, "Moneba, from today onwards, you will be the princess's household slave." Bring your stuff and get ready to come with us! ”

Moneba nodded in a panic, and said "uh, uh".

"Don't blame me for not reminding me." Ai Yan smiled, "You two had better be polite to the princess's household slaves!" ”
