After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Cuiyun withdrew, and soon came in with a tall, 20-year-old man in a brocade robe.When Cuiyun retreated, the man clasped his fists and bowed to Tang Shuyi, "The last general Bai Xiangchen will see Mrs. Hou."

Tang Shuyi looked at him suspiciously, "You are?"

"The last general is Lord Hou's confidant," Bai Xiangchen said, "Master Hou asked the general to bring 500 elite troops from the northwest to protect Madam and the county lord. The general arrived a few days ago, but he didn't have a chance to meet Madam."

As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Tang Shuyi, "This is a letter from Lord Hou."

Tang Shuyi took the letter and asked, "Do you know Lu Zhiguo?"

"I know, Lu Zhiguo is also a close friend of Lord Hou, but the two of us work separately. Lu Zhiguo doesn't know about the general's return to Beijing." Bai Xiangchen said.

Tang Shuyi had to say that Xiao Huai was cautious in his work. The powerful families in the capital could hire guards but not private soldiers. What's more, the soldiers Xiao Huai sent from the northwest couldn't be known.And during this period of time, the emperor must have sent someone to keep an eye on the Marquis of Yongning's mansion, and it was right for Bai Xiangchen not to go directly to the mansion to ask for an audience.

Tear open the envelope, take out the letter paper and unfold it, it is still written in vigorous and powerful handwriting:

Ma'am, the emperor has been wary of me a lot before, this time I attack Rouli country, if I succeed, the emperor will definitely want to get rid of me.I will take Yuchen Yuming to the northwest, and now I only worry about the safety of you and Yuzhu.So, send 500 elites back to Beijing to protect your mother and daughter.Bai Xiangchen and I have a lifelong friendship, believable, he and the 500 elite are at the disposal of my wife.

In addition, Madam, be careful of the Taifu and the eldest prince, the spies came from the Taifu's residence three years ago.The two concubines in the mansion are spies from the enemy country, they are used to frame me, and my wife can get rid of them.The eldest prince is a faction, madam be careful with them, don't act rashly, everything is waiting for me to come back.

I am not in Beijing, Madam can go to Xie Liu if there is any difficulty, the Xie family will help.

Signed Xiao Huai.

Tang Shuyi closed the letter and put it back in the envelope.

Tang Shuyi was not surprised when Xiao Huai said that the spies came from the Taifu's residence. When she knew that Xiao Huai's two concubines were spies, she guessed that the real collaborators should be the eldest prince's faction.

At the beginning, the wife of Xiao Huai's subordinate, General Wu Wei, inadvertently revealed that Xiao Huai's two concubines had been watched by Xiao Huai in the northwest. tortured.

It turned out that the two belonged to General Lu of the Rouli Kingdom, and they were bought back by one of Xiao Huai's subordinates, Cheng Yuquan, by selling their bodies to bury their grandparents.Later, Cheng Yuquan fell in love with Xiao Huai's horse, so he traded the two of them for Xiao Huai's horse.

But Xiao Huai didn't touch them, and even asked someone to watch over them.Later, Xiao Huai died in battle, and the two were sent back to Shangjing by a man named Su Bingcang.After investigation, it was found that Su Bingcang was related to the second prince.At that time, all the spearheads were directed at the Second Prince's Mansion.

But no matter how Tang Shuyi analyzed it, he felt that the second prince should be the scapegoat, because he had no need or ability to collude with the enemy country.At that time, she guessed that the one who really colluded with the enemy country should be the eldest prince, but there was no evidence.

Now that Xiao Huai said so, if you check Cheng Yuquan and Su Bingcang's relationship with the First Prince's faction, you should be able to find out something.

But since Xiao Huai said so, she should have grasped the evidence, so she should not act rashly, so as not to startle the snake.

Tang Shuyi asked Bai Xiangchen to sit down and asked him a lot about Northwest.Although I basically believe that he is Xiao Huai's confidant, it's still best to be careful.

After a seemingly casual chat, but actually an investigation conversation, Tang Shuyi completely believed in Bai Xiangchen, and then the two began to discuss how to deal with the 500 elite.

Tang Shuyi thought for a while and said: "500 elites, 200 will enter the Hou's Mansion. They will be broken up into parts, pretending to be servants of the Hou's Mansion, sneaking into the mansion, and entering five people a day. The remaining 300 people will live in other courtyards of the Hou's Mansion. Standby."

"Ma'am is very thoughtful," Bai Xiangchen said.

"Okay, you go back first, and I'll have someone contact you later," Tang Shuyi said.

Bai Xiangchen bid farewell to Tang Shuyi with fists in his hands, and then, like other guests, he spent a lot of money in the guild hall to enjoy himself before leaving.

Here Tang Shuyi's heart is much more stable, there is someone in her hand, if one day the dog emperor does something drastic, she and Yuzhu will have something to rely on even if they escape.

However, running away is the worst option.Judging from Xiao Huai's intentions, he has no intention of rebelling for the time being.And if he didn't rebel, the emperor would still use him to fight Rouli, so he probably wouldn't kill him while still using him, or threaten Xiao Huai with her and Yuzhu.

The duel between Xiao Huai and the emperor should be after the war.

.........

On the second day, Tang Shuyi asked Butler Zhao to contact Bai Xiangchen. Butler Zhao came back in the evening with an excited expression on his face.

After saluting Tang Shuyi, he reported: "The 500 people brought by General White Ginseng are now stationed on Nanxing Mountain, a hundred miles outside the city. Ma'am, I have seen those soldiers..."

Housekeeper Zhao blushed with excitement, and he continued: "Those soldiers are all fierce and fierce, and the villain even tried their skills, I can't say that one is worth a hundred, but dozens are definitely possible. "

He also came out of the army, and he knew that he was carefully selected by looking at the soldiers.It can be seen from this that Master Hou's heart for Mrs. Hou is still the same!

Tang Shuyi was also very happy after hearing what he said.If you have capable people in your hands, you will have enough confidence.She said: "When they enter the mansion and other courtyards, they become servants. There are five of them every day. These days, all the food and supplies are provided from the Zhuangzi outside the city, and they must be hidden."

"The villain understands." Butler Zhao said hastily.

Tang Shuyi nodded, "It's going to be hard for Butler Zhao these days."

Butler Zhao quickly said, "It's all what a villain should do."

Steward Zhao made another salute and left, and Tang Shuyi let out a long sigh of relief.In fact, Xiao Huai's life definitely has more advantages than disadvantages for the three children.

Although he has come back to life because of his death, it has brought them a series of troubles.But these troubles, if Xiao Yuming takes over the military power in the northwest, there will be the same, but it will be postponed for a few days.

The power of the imperial power and the powerful families are themselves in opposition.The royal family is afraid of the power of the courtiers, but the courtiers all want to hold power, and the family is endless.In the end, it depends on who is clever.

Moreover, with Xiao Huai alive, Xiao Yuming's path to success will be much smoother.

For Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuzhu, Xiao Huai is their biggest backing.No matter what you do, you have a strong father and you are confident.

It's just her own life, and she probably won't be as comfortable as she is now.

When she was thinking wildly, Cuizhu came over and said that it was Xiao Chengming.Tang Shuyi got up and went to the hall in the front yard, sat down after seeing the ceremony, and asked, "How is uncle these days?"

Xiao Chengming hurriedly said: "Okay, there are some things I want to tell you."

Tang Shuyi could roughly imagine what he wanted to say, but it was just that they came to Beijing, they didn't formally recognize each other, and they didn't make it clear in the future, so they felt uneasy.

Tang Shuyi originally wanted to recognize their relatives after they came, and then give them some property, and treat them as offshoots of the Hou's mansion in the future.But now Xiao Huai is not dead, Xiao Huai is their blood relative, so let's wait for Xiao Huai to come back.

She doesn't do such thankless things.
