After changing his clothes and arriving at the familiar palace of King Liang, Xue Li frowned slightly. It was strange. Why did he feel that something was not right in the palace today? Shift change so early? So where are those familiar faces?
Of course, even though he was a stranger, the soldiers guarding him were still polite to him. Everyone knew that this young man was the most powerful official in the Liang Kingdom and the son-in-law of the emperor.
The further inside, the stronger Xue Li's feeling became. When he stepped onto the steps of the main hall, Xue Li looked up and felt something was wrong. There were many little eunuchs sweeping around the main hall, which was very abnormal.
Thinking of this, Xue Li turned around and winked at the attendant waiting not far away, who quickly and quietly retreated. Instead of leaving the palace, he turned and slipped into the depths of the palace.
The attendant opened the door and Xue Li strode into the hall. The whole hall was empty except for Master Liang who was sitting on the throne.
"The good son-in-law is here? Come on, sit down quickly." Master Liang was very enthusiastic.
But who is Xue Li? A master of kung fu who is very insightful, no disturbance within the surrounding area can escape his senses. At this time, he clearly felt that there were hundreds of breathing sounds all around. This damn woman was ambushing the swordsman, and Master Liang had to deal with it. Master, should I do it?
Xue Li sat down calmly, thinking in his heart, where did he go wrong?
"I received a message from the Tang Dynasty. Haha, you will definitely like it, so I specially called my wise son-in-law to share it with me."
"Oh? This must be good news. Please tell me, father-in-law."
"Of course, it's a great thing. It's confirmed that Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, is dead. Hahahaha, Jieli Khan offered a reward of ten thousand gold and bribed a group of elite killers. By kidnapping the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Rui was in need of help. In the end, Xiao Rui was intercepted and killed halfway. Come, take a look, this is detailed information."
With that said, someone handed the information to Xue Li.
Xue Li's fists clenched loudly, and he had already scolded Master Liang five, six, seven or eight times in his heart.
"Think about the time when Xiao Rui's three thousand cavalrymen set out from Youzhou, rampaged all the way, killed through the entire grassland, and finally returned to the Tang Dynasty intact. How majestic? How glorious? That's how he got the title of Champion of the Tang Dynasty. . For a time, the name of Xiao Rui made everyone tremble and dare not breathe. There are even rumors among the people that as long as Xiao Rui is alive, no one dares to be the enemy of Datang."
"It's better now. The serious trouble has been eliminated, and our country, Liang, is much more relaxed. If I had known that it was so easy to offer a reward for the murderer, we, the country of Liang, could have done many things..."
"Uh? Why does my wise husband not look so good? Is he feeling uncomfortable?"
Xue Li stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry, father-in-law. Xue Li is not feeling well, so I have to leave first."
"Don't worry, chat with me for a while. Come, call the imperial doctor. Dear son-in-law, I heard that you knew this Xiao Rui when you were studying in the Tang Dynasty?" Seeing that Xue Li was about to leave, Master Liang finally ran out of ideas. Dagger see.
Xue Li paused, his eyes were cold, and he asked with a dissatisfied tone: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Are you saying that Xue Li is collaborating with the enemy?"
Master Liang's smile disappeared and he said meaningfully: "Some people say that you had close contact with the Tang envoy during the last war. Others say that you have been in secret contact with the Tang Dynasty..."
At this moment, an angry voice came. One person overthrew the screen and shouted, "Father, stop talking nonsense with this guy. There is irrefutable proof that he is a spy sent by the Tang Dynasty."
Xue Li finally saw the situation clearly. It was Liang Shidu's two sons who had ambushed a hundred swordsmen. Listening to the other party's words, you have obtained some substantive evidence. It should be that there is something wrong with the people around you.
After all, Master Liang became a king. He was silent for a moment and said with a tone of pity: "Xian son-in-law, how about we cut off all contact with the Tang Dynasty from now on?"
His son was no longer willing, "Father, how dare you use such a traitor?"
"Shut up!" Master Liang shouted to stop his son.
Xue Li smiled and said with disdain: "You call me a traitor? Are you worthy of it? If I really betrayed you through the Tang Dynasty, last time the army invaded the country, do you think the Liang Kingdom could still be saved? If it wasn't for my sake. Last time, the Tang Dynasty’s 100,000-strong army defeated the Liang Kingdom long ago.”
Hiss... So, you, are you really sent by the Tang Dynasty? And it’s not a general identity. Master Liang was a little frustrated and finally no longer had any expectations.
But his son was not angry and said: "I am not ashamed of my words. The Liang State has a hundred thousand soldiers and is supported by the Turkic Jieli Khan. Who can destroy me?"
One hundred thousand soldiers? If I hadn’t worked so hard to develop you, how could you afford to support so many people? Still a hero? They were all paid by ordinary people, and none of them could fight.
Xue Li mocked: "Look at how crazy you are, treating others like a dog, and you still have a sense of superiority? I helped you stabilize the Liang Kingdom and developed a little bit of strength. What? Burning bridges across the river? That's it. With your skill of a hundred swords and axes? You are just a chicken and a dog."
"If it weren't for my wife's sake, you would have died a year ago. What I didn't expect is that Your Majesty is the emperor after all, and the power belongs to me. You can still hide your power. I didn't show any signs of the palace changes today. No news received.”
Master Liang sighed and waved his hand: "Take it down, capture him alive, don't hurt his life."
"Father, it's already come to this, and you're still so merciful? What's the use of keeping such a spy?"
Master Liang reprimanded: "Shut up! He is your brother-in-law after all! Your sister is already pregnant."
In the main hall, the lights of swords and shadows filled with murderous intent. Xue Li was alone against a hundred swordsmen and axe-wielders, but he showed no fear on his face. Instead, he aroused a long-lost fighting spirit.
Knocking over the two of them, he grabbed two sharp axes and swung them open with both hands. He made the two axes like a whirlwind, constantly reaping the lives of the ax hands.
Master Liang was protected and retreated to a corner, but his son became more and more excited, "Xue Li, surrendering can save your life. You alone can't defeat this group of elite swordsmen and axemen like mine." .”
Xue Li became more and more courageous as he fought, and laughed wildly, "Really? People who sit in a well and watch the sky, let me show you today what it means to be brave enough for thousands of people! My brother Xiao Rui once fought against two hundred private soldiers with one person's strength. Unscathed. Although Xue Li is not as good as my brother, he is still more than enough to deal with a hundred people."
What? Brother? You, you are Xiao Rui's younger brother? Isn’t your name Xue Li? Master Liang exclaimed, but I heard that Xiao Rui has a younger brother who studies Wen.
Xue Li said proudly: "It's my adopted brother. Xue worships Xiao Yu, Duke of Song Dynasty, as his adopted father. All my abilities are passed down from my adopted brother Xiao Rui."
"Bah! Xiao Rui is dead. If he was really that powerful, how could he be killed by a few killers?" Liang Shidu's son was still barking, and he didn't notice that the Axeman was rapidly reducing its numbers. More than half of them were dead or injured, but Xue Li was not injured at all.
Hearing Xue Li's explanation, Master Liang admired Xiao Rui even more. It was amazing. It was amazing that Xiao Rui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, was born, but he didn't expect that Xiao Rui would also train Xue Lilai? It's a pity that Xiao Rui is dead, and such a character has never been seen.
Xue Li laughed loudly and said: "Who told you that my brother is dead? My brother is very capable, who can harm him? Even if you die, my brother will not die."
What? Xiao Rui is not dead? Master Liang and his son both exclaimed at the same time. It's impossible. The news from the Tang Dynasty was said to have spread throughout Chang'an City. The Jieli celebration banquet on the grassland was over.
