Chapter 369 The Skinny Camel(3/3)
He was very familiar with the guards at Dali Temple Prison, and was good at telling these scandalous anecdotes. Whenever a yamen officer asked him, he would tell them vividly, hoping to change the direction of the case.
"Did you know? Xue Bai also beat Yang Qixuan a while ago, just for women...ah? You came out?"
Du Wulang was talking lively when he turned around and saw Xue Bai and felt relieved.
"Xue Bai is here, you can ask him if what I said is right."
Xue Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, you are right, I was jealous of Yang Qixuan, so I beat him."
"Xue Sheren, I heard that you are not only jealous of one little lady, but you seem to be jealous of two?"
"That's what he said..."
In the middle of Xue Bai's words, he suddenly saw a person standing in the corridor next to him, looking over here with his hands behind his hands. It was Yan Zhenqing.
He was immediately embarrassed.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, he really couldn't say in front of his father-in-law that he was jealous of the young lady next to him, or because of the two young ladies. He didn't know where the news came from.
"Let's disperse." Du Wulang had the foresight and quickly dispersed the crowd, "If your officers see it, they might scold you for not fulfilling your duties, so disperse."
Xue Bai walked towards Yan Zhenqing and bowed shamefully.
"I've met my father-in-law."
"snort."
Yan Zhenqing had a straight face, snorted coldly, put his hands behind his hands and walked out.
Xue Bai followed, and while walking he talked about many things that happened after they parted, all the way to yesterday's conversation with Li Xiu. Of course, he only talked about the topic about Bian Town and omitted the part about his life experience.
"With Ge Nu's death, the situation in the court has become even more chaotic." Yan Zhenqing sighed a little, and then continued Xue Bai's topic: "Speaking of An Sishun, this man and Ge Shuhan served as generals under Wang Zhongsi together, and they were very close to each other.
Very difficult to deal with.”
Xue Bai had an idea after hearing this, and thought that Ge Shuhan might be able to seek An Sishun's position as Hexi Jiedushi. However, the Tang army and the Tubo army were currently fighting in Qinghai, and it was not easy to be delayed because of these power struggles.
Border war.
Xue Bai then asked, "How is the situation in Longyou during my father-in-law's trip?"
Yan Zhenqing shook his head and said, "You don't have to ask."
Even Xue Bai didn't tell him, so the matter was obviously extremely confidential. And confidentiality also meant that things were progressing.
"I captured a Tubo princess in Nanzhao. She is the daughter of Chi Dai Zhu Dan. Can it be beneficial to the situation in Tibet?"
When Yan Zhenqing heard this, he stopped involuntarily, twirling his long beard and his eyes flashing.
For the time being, he couldn't care less about Xue Bai Zhengfeng's jealousy, and asked about Na Lanzhen's situation, saying: "Let's talk about it in your house."
The two of them went all the way back to Xue's house.
Xue Bai took Yan Zhenqing up to the attic and looked into the courtyard. He saw Na Lanzhen wearing a traditional skirt and holding a Jie drum in her hands. Next to her, Ren Mulan was holding a sword and imitating Li Twelve Niang's sword dance.
, laughing and playing happily.
"It does look a bit like a ruler with a pill bead." Yan Zhenqing looked at it for a while and then stroked his beard.
"My father-in-law, have you ever seen a ruler with a pill bead?"
"He came to Qinghai in person. It was precisely because of his presence that the Subi tribe was ready to defect, but they did not dare to take any action."
"What about now?"
Yan Zhenqing glanced back unhurriedly, and then whispered: "Tubo Zanpu came to the front line in person, and some of his ministers behind him were naturally ready to take action. I came back this time with their envoys.
"
He said this, and did not want to say too much to Xue Bai. He pointed at Na Lanzhen in the courtyard and said: "I will have to take this little girl away when the time comes."
"By the way, I haven't told my father-in-law yet, but she is considered one of my students." Xue Baiyuan said, "She can also be regarded as my father-in-law's disciple."
Yan Zhenqing understood what he meant and said: "Don't worry, supporting her is more useful than killing her. We know how to do it."
Xue Bai thought for a while and said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask my father-in-law for help with."
"Are you jealous?"
"I want to protect Li Xiu and the innocent family members of the Li family, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to intercede with the saint for this matter." Xue Bai said, "If the teacher needs manpower to send envoys to Tibet, how about giving Li Xiu a chance to make meritorious service? Brother Shuhan
He is a person who cherishes old friendships and should be willing to protect Li Xiu."
Yan Zhenqing did not agree immediately, but asked instead: "Ge Nu had many party members back then, so no one else in the court was willing to protect him?"
"there is none left."
"Before I returned to the court, my brother Shu Han also mentioned this matter, but I never thought that the Li family would reach this point." Yan Zhenqing said, "That's fine, but I'm afraid the court may not agree."
"My son-in-law will take care of it," Xue Bai said.
Compared with going to Zhenzhou, if Li Xiu is temporarily sent to Longyou to settle down for a period of time, his future will be much better.
And he can also make better use of Ge Shuhan to check and balance brothers An Sishun and An Lushan.
