Raid

Chapter 258
"What did you and An Huai talk about outside?" The carriage drove slowly, and Li Shengxi looked at Liu Jin who had just arrived.

"General An is very hostile to Rong Changshi, and said some unpleasant things. It's nothing else, but it happened to His Highness. His subordinates beat him once or twice." Liu Jin shook his head, if he just said It's fine that Rong Changshi is physically weak, after all, this was intentionally done by His Highness and Rong Changshi to make others think that Rong Changshi was just a frail scholar.

However, An Huai also mentioned the skin, if it is said that Rong Zhi relies on the skin, then someone must first look at his skin, otherwise, even if Lang Yan is alone, what's the use?

Although she called herself a servant girl, she was a first-class and capable female official next to Li Shengxi, representing Li Shengxi's face, and she could beat An Huai.

"He still grabbed His Highness?" Rong Zhi frowned slightly.

Li Shengxi raised his eyelids, as if curious, "Oh? What did he say about me?"

An Huai, as a general who followed her, could he still talk about her like those old men in the court who didn't like her?
Liu Jin turned his eyes around the two of them, and said hesitantly, "He didn't say anything about you, he just said that Rong Changshi relied on his skin."

What he said, it seemed that Li Shengxi was an innocent and foolish king who was greedy for beauty. Such coquettish remarks always seemed to be ugly when they fell on women, so I couldn't listen to them today.

Li Shengxi didn't take it seriously. She wasn't surprised, but she was a little bit dumbfounded.Immediately she nodded, "In this case, it can be regarded as a surprise."

"Huh?" Liu Jin didn't understand the meaning of Li Shengxi's words.

"His Royal Highness intends to weaken the existence of this subordinate, so he temporarily made him look like a weak scholar in order to confuse everyone. I didn't expect that others would make such unreasonable speculations because of my appearance, but it is even more possible to weaken my ability. One or two. It's just implicating His Highness's reputation for no reason." Rong Zhi smiled lightly and shook his head.

I just don't know if such a thing will become an excuse for others to criticize Li Shengxi.If this falls into the ears of Li Shengxi's political enemies, they can use an excuse to attack Li Shengxi's personal virtues.

"What's there to get involved? You're not really my face, so they have nothing to say. Besides, even if I didn't do anything, if they want to point fingers at me, they just open their mouths." Li Shengxi didn't care, and then said: "Don't say that you are not my lover, even if you are, what does it matter? With power in hand, who dares to come and gossip in my ears? Brother is not pedantic... "

Li Shengxi was halfway through the conversation, but suddenly realized something, she paused, didn't continue the topic, but looked at Rong Zhi, and asked: "You were wandering around the Ke Mansion just now. Have you ever found out what's going on in the mansion?"

Fang Cai Rongzhi didn't really go to rest. Others thought he was a frail scholar, but Li Shengxi and Liujin really knew about this man's martial arts and physical strength.

In terms of martial arts, Rong Zhi is only inferior to masters like Mu Jing and Gu Lingxu.

Rong Zhi's so-called "rest" just now was actually to inquire about the situation in the mansion.

"Your Highness has also seen that the whole Ke Mansion is extremely poor." Rong Zhi's ears were reddish, but no one noticed. He didn't know what to say about Ke Yongzhao's family. He thought he was poor, especially in the past When the Northern Qi Dynasty was an official, after the houses were destroyed one after another, they couldn't even afford a decent house.

But no matter how poor you are, it won't be like this. "If His Highness suspects that General Ke is an insider, I don't think it looks like it. He is connected with foreigners and smuggled to open the way. He must take such a big risk to do these things. There is a lot of profit to be made, such a person should be a rich man. Even if you want to pretend to be poor, pretending to be a breeze, but this is too much."

It is unheard of to take risks and violate the laws of the country just to live in poverty.

"Ke Yongzhao gave me a very strange feeling. He seemed particularly depressed, especially when he mentioned his wife." Li Shengxi said softly.

"According to the information collected by the inner guards, and the result of the investigation by his subordinates, General Ke is indeed deeply attached to his wife, Anshi. Since Mrs. Ke's death, General Ke has not only been widowed for many years, never remarried, but also often blames himself. , I don’t think about political affairs, I often slack off military affairs, and a few times almost went into trouble, and it was General An who helped me out, otherwise there would be chaos.”

Li Shengxi frowned, feeling sad because of his wife's death. This is humane and righteous, but it is not a reason to delay the military plane. Because of his personal love and hatred, he ruined the world's major events. Where does such a person put the world?
"When did Mrs. Ke die? By the way, I remember that Mrs. Ke and Ke Yongzhao had children, why didn't I see them just now?" The reason why she didn't ask this question just now was because she was afraid of affecting Ke Yongzhao's sadness.

It's just that she felt strange in her heart, Mrs. Ke was only in her thirties this year, and the daughter of the general family was always in good health, so why did she die in vain?
"Mrs. Ke died in the year you went to the north. You just arrived in Beiqi, and your heels were not yet firmly established. You only reported to you major military affairs, so no one came to report these things to you. Later, everyone gradually Forgot. Mrs. Ke and Ke Yongzhao had a son, and he passed away with Mrs. Ke." Liu Jin's voice was slightly condensed.

Li Shengxi suddenly realized that this matter was not that simple, and her voice was low, "How did you die?"

"That year when Xi Rong harassed the border, because General Ke made a mistake in decision-making and did not follow General An's plan, his wife and children were taken away. Later, the rebels took General Ke's wife and children as a threat and asked General Ke to open the city gate. Mrs. Ke He was fierce with General Xiao Ke, and both of them hit the enemy's sword and committed suicide. Although the imperial court issued an edict to reward his loyalty, but General Ke's wife and children will never come back."

Ke Yongzhao was so sad, not only because of his wife and child's death, but also because of guilt. After all, the death of his wife and child was due to his mistake.

Listening to this familiar plot, Li Shengxi looked a little sad.

"I think it's because Marshal Xu didn't really believe that General Ke would collude with the enemy and treason." Seeing his wife and children die at the hands of others, how could such a person defect to the enemy.I'm afraid that when Meimei thinks of Xirong people, she will want to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Just like when Shen Yunsong saw Mu Jing.

"Things are getting weirder." Li Shengxi sighed softly.

"Over the years, thanks to General An's help in managing Xizhou's military affairs, if not for this, I'm afraid there will be many troubles."
