Well, no, you can't be too confident, if you accidentally fall into the pit again, it will be a big mess.

However, what Zhou Shaoyu didn't know was that the reason why Li Xiuning nodded so easily and expressed initial trust was because Zhou Shaoyu said Ma Sanbao's name.

It's no wonder that Zhou Shaoyu couldn't imagine that this was a blind spot for him.

At this time, Ma Sanbao was not the general Zuo Xiaowei and the new county prince recorded in later generations. At this moment, he is just a servant of the daughter of a prince, maybe he does have some ability, but he hasn't shown his talent at all, but in a big family, there are not too many domestic servants, who will remember the name of a domestic servant?

Not to mention that the name of Ma Sanbao has not been changed for a long time, everyone knows that Li Xiuning was called the third lady, and he was not allowed or even given a name, in front of his own master, is it really good to have a 'three' in the name?

Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Besides Ma Sanbao, who else do you know?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Shaoyu shook his head honestly, he really didn't know this, and he couldn't make it up.

"Are they all dead?" Li Xiuning sighed and muttered in a low voice. Then he put away his long knife and asked, "Big brother, have they ever escaped?" ”

This question is very sensitive, if nothing else, who is Li Xiuning's eldest brother? Li Jiancheng! As the eldest son, his ability is not bad, and it is of course to inherit the throne, but this guy was killed by Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change, not only Li Jiancheng was killed, but the baby in the swaddling clothes was not spared.

has never been an emperor, naturally he will not have an ancestor like other emperors, and Zhou Shaoyu claimed to be the son-in-law of the Li Tang family later, it is definitely not okay to call the name, but if you make it up casually, Li Xiuning will know the truth sooner or later.

As for telling the truth? Unless Zhou Shaoyu is crazy, it is absolutely impossible to confide in this matter, since his family has seen each other, God knows what Li Xiuning will do when he knows it, as long as she knows that this world is indeed Li Tang's world in the end, it is good to calm her heart.

So he had to ignore the salutation and said directly: "I escaped and arrived in Taiyuan smoothly, but Li Zhiyun, the king of Chuai, ......"

"Xiao Wu Zhiquan (Li Zhiyun's childhood name) is dead?" Li Xiuning's eyes flashed with coldness.

"Well, yes, I was arrested and went to Chang'an, and then, I was killed by the Yin World Master." Zhou Shaoyu pretended to be sad on the surface, but he was overjoyed in his heart, and he was still thinking about how to lead the topic in this direction, but he didn't think that Li Xiuning would start asking it himself.

Li Zhiyun's life experience, it won't take long for news to come out, especially Zhou Shaoyu also said who killed him, when the news comes, will it increase his credibility?

"No, Zhiquan is with the eldest brother, why is the eldest brother fine?" Li Xiuning immediately raised doubts. But then, without waiting for Zhou Shaoyu to answer, he immediately waved his hand and shook his head: "That's it, no need to answer, heh, King Chu Ai ......"

It's better not to answer, God knows if Li Jiancheng threw Li Zhiyun out to attract firepower, this topic is also very sensitive. So he quickly changed the topic and said: "Sanniang, but are you going to go to Ju County?" ”

Li Xiuning glanced at Zhou Shaoyu, and said in her heart that this guy really knows a lot. He nodded, but did not speak.

"It's right to go to Juxian, but the route has to be changed slightly, and I don't know the way, so it's good for you to look at this." Zhou Shaoyu is talking nonsense, but who asked Zhou Shaoyu to say that Li Xiuning died halfway, this meaning is very obvious, that is, on the originally planned road, there was an ambush and was pursued.

Obviously, Li Xiuning was indeed misled, she gathered everyone, took out a slightly rough map, discussed for a while, and finally changed the route ahead, originally they chose not to go straight, but to go around, which would become a left.

Fortunately, there was no bloody plot of meeting Sui Jun after going around the left, otherwise Zhou Shaoyu would be really depressed. However, Ma Sanbao and the others were curious, this guy was still the target of Sanniang's arrest just now, how could he be quite trusted by her side?

It is said that it is going to Ju County, but in fact, it belongs to the territory of Ju County, and the city will not enter, it is still under the control of the officials and troops of the Sui Dynasty, and the Li family has a hidden manor in the remote area, with a little money and a small number of people.

Zhou Shaoyu also finally understood why Li Xiuning could recruit people to gather troops for money, and it was not peaceful to write this piece for a long time, Hu merchant He Panren in the Western Regions claimed to be the chief manager, and robbed Li Gang, the former right guard of Shangshu, to make a long history for him, with tens of thousands of people under his hands, and lived a comfortable and chic life.

There is a rebellious army, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Sui Dynasty, even if this army does not commit any crimes in the autumn, it is strange that the people's livelihood develops, and what if the people participate in the rebellion in order to survive, not to mention that the world is not peaceful in the first place, and I don't know how many examples of rebellion there are.

However, Rao is like this, and he only gathered hundreds of people, which is far from Li Xiuning's final army of 70,000. However, it is precisely because of the big head of He Panren that attracts attention, and Li Xiuning, these hundreds of people, cannot attract attention at all.

"What's next?" Seeing Ma Sanbao and others training soldiers, Li Xiuning took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Wait." Zhou Shaoyu thought for a while.

He knows that history is true, but he only knows the general trend, but he doesn't know the details, and everything can only be scrutinized in combination with the current situation. If according to historical records, the next step is naturally to send Ma Sanbao to persuade He Panren to come to surrender.

But Zhou Shaoyu really asked Ma Sanbao to do this now, which is called a lack of brain tendons. How many people are there in He Panren? A conservative estimate is that there are always twenty or thirty thousand. What about Li Xiuning? Just a few hundred.

Although it is true that Li Yuan has not yet raised troops, it is difficult to say how far he can develop, why should people come here? Just because Li Yuan is the Duke of Tang Guo? But pull it down, you have to rebel, and everyone will be thieves at that time, and no one will necessarily be stronger than anyone, so how can you talk about what is not a country.

Besides, Zhou Shaoyu really hasn't found out that Ma Sanbao has any ability to speak well, so he is clean and neat with a big knife, and it is not difficult to lead the soldiers.

In addition, Li Xiuning is very powerful, but there will be no news about an important person. That is Li Yuan's younger brother, Li Xiuning's uncle, Li Shentong!

The Sui army searched and arrested, Li Shentong also fled Chang'an, and finally gathered more than 10,000 people in the south of Juxian County, raised troops to respond to Li Yuan, and attacked Juxian County, which was fought by Li Shentong plus Li Xiuning and He Panren together.

And this will be Li Shentong no news, relying on Li Xiuning's hundreds of people, let alone attacking Juxian, it is useless to persuade He Panren.

Zhou Shaoyu guessed that Li Xiuning really didn't have any good ideas, and in history, he sent Ma Sanbao to persuade He Panren, and it is estimated that he did so after having news of Li Shentong.

Without him, Li Yuan raised troops, there were tens of thousands of people, and the Li family in Longyou was a big family, and there were other big surnames to support it, and Li Shentong gathered more than 10,000 people on the side, in this case, He Panren would never offend them unless he was stupid, he was originally a thorn in the side of the officials and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, and with the addition of the Li family, isn't that looking for death?

He Panren is a Hu businessman, gathering tens of thousands of people to occupy the mountain, yes, but if you want to participate in the competition for the world? That's not even thinking about it, the background is too poor, and there are too few people who can accept it.

So it became a good choice to send charcoal to the Li family to seek status, as for why he chose to surrender to Li Xiuning instead of Li Shentong?

This couldn't be simpler, the principal of the Li family and the initiator of the army is Li Yuan, if he wins the country in the future, the throne will naturally be sat by his son, not by his younger brother.

He Panren has tens of thousands of people under his hands, and he is not a small force, if he follows Li Shentong, isn't it obvious that Li Yuan is afraid.

And Li Xiuning is different, she is a daughter, her identity is limited, it is impossible to participate in the struggle for power, and she surrenders to Li Xiuning, that is, to surrender to Li Yuan, it is useless to have any problems.

After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoyu glanced at Li Xiuning a few times, if the speculation in Fang Cai's mind was correct, then Li Xiuning's daughter was a help at this moment.

However, as the saying goes, 'success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He'. Because of his gender, He Panren surrendered to Cheng without any scruples, allowing Li Xiuning to have tens of thousands of troops at once, and then accepted the other younger brothers smoothly, and finally connected several counties, and finally helped Li Yuan capture Chang'an.

and because of gender, Li Xiuning quickly retreated into the background after that, and finally a generation of strange women died early. There is no way to verify what happened here, and there are few records about Li Xiuning in history.

It was all the last moment that she was still watching her blood boiling, and the next moment, she jumped directly to the funeral specifications, which was too sudden.

Of course, a strange woman is a strange woman, Li Xiuning is definitely a woman who is both civil and military, otherwise just change a woman to try? Don't say that a woman who grew up in the ancient feudal background, even if you throw a woman who grew up in the information explosion environment of later generations, you see how many can do this.

Hearing Zhou Shaoyu say wait, Li Xiuning didn't ask in detail, because her own idea was to wait and see what was going on, and she was not in a hurry to summon Ma Sanbao and ordered: "Sanbao, you take some people to continue to secretly recruit troops and buy horses, and at the same time pay attention to the news of the small group of bandits and bandits around." ”

Zhou Shaoyu was very emotional when he heard this, it is worthy of Li Xiuning, even if he has no clue at present, he also set his sights on those small forces?

Those who are obedient can be retracted, and those who are disobedient can be attacked as military training, and no matter how you look at it, you will not lose.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Shaoyu called Ma Sanbao, who was about to leave.

Ma Sanbao looked at Li Xiuning and saw that she didn't react, so he looked at Zhou Shaoyu.

"By the way, pay attention to the southern part of Juxian County, and inquire about the news of the head of the family, Li Shentong, if you can't hear it, you can also inquire about a person named Shi Wanbao." Zhou Shaoyu smiled very pretending to be X with a goose feather fan, in fact, he wanted to say a few more names, but he couldn't think of anything else for a while, just remembered that when Li Shentong raised the army, there was a man named Shi Wanbao by his side.

"Swanbo? But Chang'an hero Shi Wanbao? Ma Sanbao glared, that guy is very famous.

"That's right, if nothing else, they're together." Zhou Shaoyu nodded.

Li Xiuning continued to be expressionless, thinking in his heart, it would not hurt to listen by the way, if everything was as Zhou Shaoyu said, then it would not hurt, a person who can know the future will help on the side, then it will be difficult for the Li family to think about the world.

He was about to nod to Ma Sanbao, indicating that this matter was approved, but he saw another servant running in in a hurry, and said with a sad face: "Sanniang, there is already news, Wulang He was indeed arrested and taken to Chang'an, and now, now, ...... I've been harmed by the Yin World Master! ”

Li Xiuning's eyes widened, and she stood up suddenly, but under her grief, she immediately turned her head to look at Zhou Shaoyu!

There are many people who have fled in the clan, and there will always be people who will be killed, if you just say who died, it is not impossible to coincide, but what Zhou Shaoyu said is clear, how did Li Zhiyun die? Capture Chang'an and be killed by the Yin World Master! Now that the news is coming, it is really so, so in other words, does Zhou Shaoyu really know the future?

Zhou Shaoyu is happy in his heart, the more things that are verified, the more capital he has to fool Li Xiuning, maybe Li Xiuning is indeed smarter than him, but there is one thing that is definitely not as good as Zhou Shaoyu, that is, limitations.

In the final analysis, Li Xiuning is a person of this era after all, and he does not have the ability to understand the future, and it is difficult for Li Xiuning to believe whether Zhou Shaoyu says anything accurately.

For example, comparing the IQ of the two to a height, Li Xiuning is higher than Zhou Shaoyu, but Zhou Shaoyu is standing on the mountain and looking down, as long as Zhou Shaoyu no longer dies by himself, it is basically not a problem to control the rhythm.

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but feel a little proud, and I raised my eyebrows at Li Xiuning quite carried away, but I immediately thought that Li Xiuning was the pain of losing her brother, and at this time I was still so frivolous, what should I do if my impression was bad, so I quickly put on a look of the same grief.

The corners of Li Xiuning's mouth twitched, who are you fooling? Fortunately, because he knew about this in advance, although he didn't believe it all, he was somewhat prepared, and it was not so painful, and he was disturbed by Zhou Shaoyu again, and his sad emotions couldn't help but be broken, and then he quickly adjusted his emotions and calmed down.

The deceased is gone, there is no way to stop it, according to Zhou Shaoyu, even he is dead, look at him just asked Ma Sanbao to inquire about Li Shentong, it seems that Li Shentong will do something......

(Zhou Shaoyu defended off the court: I didn't say that you would die halfway, you misunderstood it like this, don't blame me...... ）

"I know, this revenge will be avenged, Sanbao, give priority to finding out the news of the middle father, as soon as there is news, don't delay, report it immediately." Li Xiuning immediately changed his previous order, there is no way, who let Zhou Shaoyu already say it once.

"Looks like we're going to have to talk." Leaving the left and right, Li Xiuning said calmly to Zhou Shaoyu.

"yes, it's time to talk." Zhou Shaoyu also nodded and said, if nothing else, after this conversation, Zhou Shaoyu will have more initiative. Instead of continuing, you can only stay by Li Xiuning's side honestly, and you have to be careful even when you speak.

In other words, Zhou Shaoyu can finally start from the emotional aspect and start to hook up, oops, it's really a little exciting to think about it.
