Bad water self-cultivation.

People around Xiao Li have already heard about the ballads that have been spreading wildly in the street recently.

Xiao Li was sitting in the main hall at this time, holding a "Su Shu" in his hand and reading it.

At this moment, Chen Changshi brought General Zuo Cheng in, bowed and saluted, "Your Highness."

Xiao Li put down the book, looked at the two people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, Chang Shi."

Chen Changshi is an assistant officer in the palace, and General Zuo Cheng is his uncle, of course the uncle has a higher status.

Chen Changshi responded, and stepped aside. General Zuo Cheng took a few steps forward and sat down on the yellow rosewood chair beside him. His thick black eyebrows were gloomy, and his fingers were on the chair. He asked directly: "My lord, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Xiao Li knew what he was asking, but he lowered his eyes and did not answer immediately. Instead, he said: "I heard that Liang Guo and my Great Yu border area are not at peace recently. Uncle should make preparations in advance."

Zuo Cheng firmly grasped the chair with his fingers, then lifted it up and knocked it on the table next to him, raised his eyes and said harshly: "If there is going to be a war, as a soldier, I must be duty-bound to do my best! But you know that I am going to fight with you now!" That's not what it said!"

Xiao Li lowered his eyes, smiled again, of course he knew what he was going to say, raised his head this time and said: "Please trouble uncle, but I have my own plans for this matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Then when do you plan to get rid of that disaster?" Zuo Cheng stood up excitedly and said, "Rumors about this matter are endless now, and the trend is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. Emperor Yu Wen has already become suspicious. Get rid of him, sooner or later it will come to you!"

Xiao Li closed his eyes, and rubbed the center of his brows with his fingers. Of course he knew that this incident was definitely going to be aimed at him in the end. Maybe the person who planned this incident behind the scenes just wanted to follow Yunshen to get rid of him, but...!

"A tool, its value is to work for you, my lord, but now the existence of this tool is about to harm you, so what's the use of keeping it?" Zuo Cheng said again bewitchingly, and gestured with his eyes Chen Changshi next to him.

Chen Changshi understood that he agreed with Zuo Cheng, and had already persuaded Xiao Li to get rid of the scourge as soon as possible, so he immediately stepped forward and echoed: "Your Highness, the general is right, that Yun Shen has already Don't stay any longer..." Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

"Even you are going to force me now!" Xiao Li opened his eyes and stood up, his eyes full of sternness, he pulled out the edge of the sword next to him with his finger, he stepped forward a few steps, and slashed down with his sword, " You've never heard my words, have you? Then what's the use of your ears!"

As the words fell, the sword in Xiao Li's hand swung down and suddenly moved to the side. In an instant, a bloody ear was cut off and thrown on the ground aside.

Chen Changshi's left face was also immediately stained red with blood. The blood flowed down his neck, and his shoulders were almost bloody. speak out.

And Xiao Li's anger still seemed unsteady: "I said that no one is allowed to act without my order, but have you ever taken my words seriously?!"

He was referring to the last time, without his own order, Chen Changshi asked someone to get rid of Huo Si without his own order. Although he didn't have an attack at that time, he never swallowed his breath.

Taking advantage of this time, he not only wants to punish and deter Chen Changshi, but also wants his uncle to know who is the real master among them, and whoever he wants to keep must not touch anyone!

Although he is a warrior, he is not a brainless person. Zuo Cheng naturally understood the meaning of his nephew's killing of chickens and monkeys, and his face was shocked by the episode just now. He didn't say anything, and sat back on the chair.

Xiao Li continued to look coldly at the man on the ground half covered in blood, with the blade in his hand resting on the ground.

Chen Changshi was so painful that blue veins popped up on his forehead and his whole body was trembling. He covered the half of his face with his ear cut off with one hand, he staggered back a few steps, and knelt on the ground in panic: "This subordinate knows his mistake. I will never dare to disobey His Highness’s words again.”

Xiao Li's expression softened a little, and after a while, he walked over and helped him up from the ground: "It's good that you know your mistake, this hall will not pursue it any further, I hope you don't hold grudges in your heart."

Chen Changshi's pupils shrank, and he said hastily: "This subordinate dare not, it's because this subordinate made a mistake first, and His Highness taught me a lesson."

Xiao Li said in a harmonious voice: "That's good." Then he called the maid outside the hall to come in, "Immediately help Chang Shi to treat the wound."

"Here." The maid was startled when she came in, but it was not unknown, she helped Chen Changshi out quickly.

Just as he was about to look at General Zuo Cheng who hadn't left yet, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The sixth prince is here."

A little surprised, Xiao Li said: "I'll go out first."

Outside, a man in red clothes walked over with the corner of his mouth curled up, and said loudly: "Fourth brother!"

Xiao Li coughed, covered his lips with his white sleeves, and asked him with a gentle smile, "Why did Sixth Brother wake up so late?"

"It's Emperor Father," Xiao Xuan looked at the courtyard, and continued, "Suddenly asked me to invite Fourth Brother into the palace. The specific things may not be known until Fourth Brother goes there."

"Okay." Xiao Li didn't intend to ask any more questions, and said to the maid behind him: "Go get the coat of the hall."

While waiting for the fourth prince to enter the palace, Emperor Yu Wen dropped a memorial again in a state of upset. The bird's nest porridge brought by the imperial concubine, he didn't feel like drinking it, and he thought it was an eyesore, so he asked someone to take it down again.

At this time, I finally heard Xiao Xuan's voice outside: "Father! I am here with fourth brother."

The two sons came in together, saluted and said: "My son, see the father."

Emperor Yu Wen's eyes were gloomy. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Xuan, but he didn't let him back down. He looked directly at Xiao Li and said, "Fourth, you must know better than me what happened outside the uterus these days." Much more."

Xiao Li lowered his head, respectfully, but knowingly asked: "What is the father talking about?"

Emperor Yu Wen was a little annoyed, but he suppressed it and did not burst out immediately. He took a breath, and continued to ask in a deep voice: "I think you should have heard that ballad recently."

Xiao Li moved his fingers slightly, put his thumb on his index finger, and replied: "Yes, my son has heard about it."

Emperor Yu Wen's eyes suddenly became more gloomy, but his tone was still kind and he asked: "Then what do you think about this matter?"

"It's purely nonsense." Xiao Li immediately said, "Father is upright and honest, when was he deceived by someone? How could it be possible that he does not go to court early every day."

This answer eased Emperor Yu Wen's expression, but he continued to ask him: "But there are also rumors between you and Yun Shen, is it true?"

The corners of Xiao Li's mouth were a bit cold, but he still said respectfully on his face: "Yun Shen used to be my servant, and indeed he has a good relationship with him, but there is nothing in the rumors."

Emperor Yu Wen let out a cold snort, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not, and said: "But now there are rumors everywhere outside the palace that Yun Shen is a monster, keeping it will bring disaster to the country and the people, and ministers have also written letters asking me to get rid of him... ..."

After a pause, "Although it's nonsense, but to appease the people," Emperor Yu Wen stared at Xiao Li, "How do you think I should deal with it?"

Xiao Li's pupils shrank sharply, his heart seemed to be pinched by something suddenly, and he instantly understood the real purpose of Emperor Yu Wen for letting him enter the palace.After a little silence, he suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "The country is the most important thing, and of course the people's hearts are more important."

"Oh? Then you mean that I should obey the ministers and get rid of Yun Shen?" Emperor Yu Wen continued to ask pressingly.

Xiao Li squeezed his fingers into his palm, his lips trembled slightly and said: "Yes."

"Okay." Emperor Yu Wen seemed to have finally resolved something on his mind, and his expression was completely relieved, "I see, fourth child, you can go back now."

"My son retire."

After leaving the Weiyang Palace, snow fell outside at some point, and a layer fell on the stone lion next to it. Xiao Li stretched out his hand to support it, fingers caught in the icy snow.

The guard waiting for him outside immediately came over and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Li gritted his teeth and stood up again: "This hall is fine."

Sitting in the carriage, he suddenly remembered the scene when he sent Huo Bao into the palace, which was also outside Weiyang Palace. He promised, "This king will always be behind you." Huo Bao looked at him with a smile and said, " I will always remember these words of Your Highness."

But now, the person who promised to protect him told the emperor tonight that Huo Chen should be eliminated.

What a sarcasm!

The bumping of the carriage was nothing compared to the turmoil in his heart.

Although Xiao Li knew that Emperor Yu Wen's words tonight were mostly out of temptation to him, and he might not really want to get rid of Huo Chen, but he was still in great pain, and made a decision right away, he must kill Huo Chen. Get it out of the palace as soon as possible.

Huo Qian didn't know about it at this time, but felt that his eyelids were twitching wildly.

The system also said at this time: "Xiao Li's strategy progress is 5."
