Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Yuanche's face turned extremely gloomy after he came back from Taiwei's Mansion.

Now he is leaning on the chair behind the desk, saying nothing, not knowing what he is thinking.

Su Ling and Xu Jinghu stood aside with their hands down.

Xiao Yuanche didn't say anything, so they couldn't find a chair and sit down by themselves.

After a long while, Xiao Yuanche finally let out a long sigh, waved his hands towards them and said: "The incident about Captain Yang Wenxian touched the past in my heart, so I am a little sad. You two should sit down."

Su Ling and Xu Jinghu thanked them and sat down.

After the two of them sat down for a long time, Xiao Yuanche still said nothing, looking at the roof in a daze.

Wei Changan stood aside and whispered: "Master, it is too sentimental to hurt your body. You should refrain from expressing your condolences."

Xiao Yuanche nodded and then said: "The deceased is already dead. No matter how much I think about it, I can't change it after all. You can wait until you go to Zhongshu's mansion and tell Xu Wenruo that you will make a plan about the death of Taiwei Yang Wenxian and submit it tomorrow.

Give it to the emperor."

Only then did Wei Changan nod his head, as if asking: "It's just that this old slave is too talkative. Do you want to give me a posthumous title?"

Xiao Yuanche thought for a while and said: "No matter what, the Yang family is from a wealthy family, and he has been a Grand Lieutenant of the Jin Dynasty for many years. No matter what he is alive, he must be dignified and honored after death. He still has to have a posthumous title. As for giving him a

Let Xu Wenruo decide what posthumous title he wants without asking me for instructions."

Wei Changan then nodded.

Xiao Yuanche asked him to serve tea to Su Ling and Xu Jinghu.

The three of them sipped tea for a while, and then Xiao Yuanche glanced at Su Ling thoughtfully, and said pointedly: "Now that the matter of the dead has been dealt with, let's talk about the living."

He paused and then said: "Su Ling, the appointment of General Shi in the Prime Minister's Office has been officially issued. Do you know about this?"

Su Ling nodded and said: "Thanks to the Prime Minister for your support, I will bear in mind the Prime Minister's great kindness."

Xiao Yuanche then smiled lightly and said, "Oh? How are you going to thank me?"

Su Ling was startled and could only hold up his hands and said: "I can't think of anything at the moment. I just know that I can do more for the world in the future."

Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "Stop talking big words, I'm tired of hearing them. But you have to remember that now you are the Prime Minister's Mansion General and Commander Shi, with the highest rank of the third rank, so no matter what you do from now on, you must do it before you do it."

You have to think more carefully and put the overall situation first. Su Ling, do you understand what I mean?"

Su Ling's heart trembled, and she vaguely felt that there was something in Xiao Yuanche's words, but he didn't say it clearly, and it was hard for him to tell it, so he could only nod his head and said: "I will follow the instructions of the Prime Minister."

Xiao Yuanche then nodded and said: "There is an important matter right now. If I leave it to you to handle, will you still refuse?"

Su Ling was startled, vaguely feeling that he already knew what Xiao Yuanche was going to say, so he could only say: "I wonder what the Prime Minister asked Su Ling to do?"

Xiao Yuanche turned to look at Xu Jinghu and said, "Jinghu, where is Li Zhibai now?"

Xu Jinghu hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Li Zhibai is currently in the Longtai Posthouse. The prime minister has something to say, so the general will naturally not dare to let him go. Every day, a soldier will bring food to the room. He only tells him that it is because of the explosion at Longhuangtai.

, there are still some unfinished matters, and we need him to stay and cooperate."

Xiao Yuanche nodded, then looked at Su Ling with burning eyes and said, "Did you hear that? Li Zhibai is at Longtai Inn now..."

Su Ling felt sad for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Su Ling heard it..."

Xiao Yuanche then said word by word: "If I leave the matter of arresting Li Zhibai to you, will you be willing?"

After saying that, the look in Lidya Su Ling's eyes became even more intense.

"I..." Su Ling's body trembled, her expression darkened, and she opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Xiao Yuanche said calmly: "In front of me, you can say whatever you want, but if you still plead for Li Zhibai, then you will be exempted. Li Zhibai must die!"

After all, Su Ling couldn't help but raised her hands towards Xiao Yuanche and said: "Su Ling didn't dare to plead for Li Zhibai, but he didn't quite understand. Sikong... Oh no, even the Prime Minister Yang Shuzu was determined not to pursue the case anymore.

, why can't we let Li Zhibai go...Although Li Zhibai started to face the emperor and made things difficult for the prime minister and me, in the end he..."

Xiao Yuanche sneered as if he had heard a joke and said: "Su Ling, who is Yang Shuzu? His father Yang Wenxian was a prince of the dynasty, and the Yang family has been a powerful family for hundreds of years. His Yang family and my Xiao family are old friends, and even more

Besides, Yang Wenxian died in his stead, and in this matter, the Yang family paid the life of their clan leader, which is enough..."

"Can......"

Just as Su Ling was about to speak again, Xiao Yuanche waved his hand to stop him and said: "Since ancient times, many literati have prided themselves on being lofty and lofty, and with their so-called passion and ignorance of the truth, they have been wagging their lips and tongues for the so-called clean stream and orthodoxy, inciting people's hearts. Especially...

This Li Zhibai

, he is quite talented and well-known. He was privately given the title of Poetry and Immortal by the literati of the world. It seems that he is a person who relies on his talent and is arrogant. Not only does this kind of person not know how to advance or retreat, but he cannot be used by me. Keeping him will be a disaster after all, so no matter what

He must die!"

Su Ling shook his head hurriedly and said sincerely: "Prime Minister, Li Zhibai is definitely not the kind of person who seeks fame and reputation. He just got involved in the political whirlpool involuntarily. The matter of Long Huangtai is also helpless..."

Xiao Yuanche snorted coldly and said: "How about helplessness? How about intentionality? He has already done such things, and even in front of Qingliu and the royalists, he has made me lose face. If I keep it, what will those Qingliu people do?"

If you don’t try your best to win over him? So this person can’t stay.”

Xiao Yuanche paused, looked at Su Ling, his eyes darkened, and said word by word: "Yang Shuzu needs someone to die for him. If Li Zhibai wants to live, it is not impossible. It's just Su Ling. Are you willing to die for him?"

?”

After saying this, Xiao Yuanche suddenly raised his head, his eyes looking directly at Su Ling.

Su Ling's heart felt cold. He knew that there was no possibility of reversing the matter, and it would be useless to talk about it any more. It might even anger Xiao Yuanche.

That’s it!

Su Ling then stood up slowly and said without any waves in his voice: "Su Ling is willing to go on behalf of the Prime Minister and put Li Zhibai in jail, and wait for the Prime Minister to make his decision."

Xiao Yuanche raised his eyebrows and said tentatively: "Oh? Have you thought clearly?"

Su Ling had no expression on his face and whispered: "Think clearly..."

"Above this matter, no more complaints?"

"No more complaints..."

Xiao Yuanche then smiled and said: "Very good, this is the history of my generals and soldiers, Xiao Yuanche."

He turned his head and said to Xu Jinghu: "Assign twenty smart and capable sergeants from your camp and ask Su Ling to take them with them to capture Li Zhibai!"

Xu Jinghu accepted the promise, turned to Su Ling and cupped his hands and said: "Su Changshi, please come!"

Su Ling nodded, then cupped her hands towards Xiao Yuanche, and without waiting for Xiao Yuanche to speak, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

The two of them arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, where many sergeants from Xu Jinghu's camp were waiting outside.

Xu Jinghu randomly selected twenty sergeants, and then whispered into the ears of two sergeants who seemed to be the leaders.

The two sergeants glanced at Su Ling quickly, and then nodded calmly.

Su Ling watched with cold eyes and sneered secretly in her heart.

Xu Jinghu then ordered the twenty military officers to assemble and said loudly: "This time you go with Su Changshi to Longtai Post House to arrest people. You must listen to Su Changshi's arrangements, and you must not let the people you capture escape. Got it!"

These twenty military officers loudly agreed.

Su Ling then raised his hand to Xu Jinghu and walked towards Longtai Inn without saying a word.

He walked away without even looking back.

The two leading military officers were startled and looked at Xu Jinghu.

Xu Jinghu snorted and said, "Look what I do, why don't you hurry up and follow me!"

The twenty military academies were just like Meng Fang Shu, and they stepped up their pace to catch up with Su Ling, marching neatly behind him.

Along the way, Su Ling didn't raise his head or say a word. Seeing him like this, the twenty military academies also kept silent.

The entire team was silent, and only the neat marching steps could be heard clearly.

The Longtai Posthouse was not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion. About a moment later, when Su Ling looked up, he saw a golden-domed Royal Pavilion Posthouse standing in front of him.

There are two stone lions in front of the door, and two military schools stand on the left and right.

Su Ling didn't say anything, stepped up the steps, and was about to go inside.

However, they were stopped by the four military academies. The leader of the military academies looked sternly and said: "The Central Leader has an order, and those who join must hold the Central Leader's handwriting. Those who do not have the handwriting will stop here. Anyone who violates the rules will be executed immediately!"

Su Ling was already in a depressed mood, but someone so short-sighted relied on the power of the central leader Xu Jinghu to use chicken feathers as command arrows to block his way.

If it had been before, Su Ling might have stopped and politely revealed his identity, but today, when he was stopped by the leader of the military academy, the anger in his heart rushed to the top of his head.

Su Ling didn't say anything, raised his foot and kicked the military academy who was blocking him, hitting him on the left chest.

The military academy fell to the ground with an ouch.

Su Ling's eyes were full of coldness, and he said in a hateful voice: "Get out——"

Seeing Su Ling's sudden violence, the other three military academies kicked down the leader. Without any hesitation, they each pulled out the sabers hanging from their waists with a "clang--" sound.

Cold light flashed, surrounding Su Ling, and shouted sternly: "Don't go any further, go forward and kill on the spot!"

Su Ling didn't even look at it. He lowered his head, covering up the cold light in his eyes, but still walked inside step by step.

The cold and murderous feeling that filled his body made the three military officers feel inexplicably timid and involuntarily stepped back.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
