Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 482 Guangyang County
Xue Wanfeng and his wife fell asleep in each other's arms. Time soon came to the next day. Xue Wanfeng opened his eyes and felt his wife in his arms.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was still comfortable at home. At this time, Changge woke up. When she saw him like this, she asked, "Husband, what are you laughing at?"

"Oh? Madam, are you awake? I am smiling. I am smiling because life like this is so good. I can see you every morning when I wake up. Life like this is so good." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

"Haha, my husband, what's wrong with you? How come you're getting more and more disgusting after going to the grassland? Really." Li Changge said shyly
"Haha, that's nothing. By the way, ma'am, we brought back some female slaves from the grassland this time. Among them are spies planted by the Ashile tribe."

"You have to carefully distinguish them. If you think there is no problem, give them to the soldiers. If there is a problem, keep them in the mansion." Xue Wanfeng said

"Ah? Husband, since you knew there were spies, why did you keep them?" Changge asked

"Because sometimes these spies can be used by me." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

"Hmm? Husband, are you so sure that you can make those spies listen to us?" Chang Ge said
"Speaking of confidence? I really don't, but the crisis in Youzhou has not been completely resolved, so I have to make some attempts." Xue Wanfeng said

"Well, don't worry, husband, I will find a way." Changge said seriously.

"Alright, alright, Madam, don't be so serious. This is just a casual move. As long as it can achieve the final result, it is not that important."

"Because the real useful trick is not these female slaves, madam. In fact, I discovered a secret when I went to the grassland this time, that is, the princess of the Sui Dynasty was very ambitious."

"I was the one who spread the news that I surrounded the royal court," Xue Wanfeng said.

"Hmm? My husband, you said you were the one who spread it? Then, before that, were all the news before that blocked by the princess?" Changge said solemnly.

"Yes, I thought so too. At that time, Ashile's army was at the gates of the city and was about to enter Chang'an. Combined with what happened in Dingxiang, it is clear that she has not given up yet." Xue Wanfeng said

"This, this is a big deal. No, we have to tell Li Shimin and let him take precautions early. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger." Changge said hurriedly.
"Madam, don't worry. If I'm right, Li Shimin's imperial edict is on the way. Although I don't know who is coming this time, I think it must be someone familiar to you and me."

"So we can just wait until they arrive and then talk about it." Xue Wanfeng said

"Well, my husband, you are right. I was too impatient. Okay, my husband, it's already dawn. Shouldn't we get up now?" Changge said
"Madam, I finally got back. Why are you getting up so early? Don't get up. You can't get up either. Let's lie down for a while. Let's lie down for a while." Xue Wanfeng shook his head.

"Husband, you? Okay, then lie down for a while, but you really have to get up soon, otherwise people will gossip about you." Changge said helplessly.

"Who dares to gossip? I'll pull out his tongue. Okay, ma'am, I think it's not appropriate for us to take him with us like this. I think we can do it, hehe." Xue Wanfeng started to act.

By the time they got up, the sun was already high in the sky. Changge rolled his eyes at this, while Xue Wanfeng just smiled and didn't care at all.

Afterwards, he went directly to Le Yan's room. That's right, he had no intention of stopping. After all, he had been outside for so long this time and it always felt like it was not enough.

Moreover, he was not so gentle when it came to Le Yan. When Xue Wanfeng walked out of the room, it was already sunset.

At the dinner table that night, Changge scolded, "Can't you be gentler? Look at what you did to Le Yan?"

"Hehe, I just can't help it. Madam, you know me, right? I can't stop myself when I'm happy, and I think of her as you, Madam." Xue Wanfeng said a little embarrassedly.

"How dare you say that? How dare you say that? Humph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Have you had enough for today? We sisters will sleep together tonight, you can sleep alone." Changge said directly
"No, Madam, you can't do this. I, I, I was wrong, isn't that enough? Well, I promise, I promise to pay attention next time, is that okay?" Xue Wanfeng begged for mercy.

"No, you should sleep alone tonight. Le Yan, let's go and ignore him." After Chang Ge finished speaking, he pulled Le Yan up and left.

Xue Wanfeng looked at their departing backs, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he also stood up and left. In fact, what he said just now was just a joke.

After these two days, he really needed to take a break, so he didn't object to sleeping alone tonight. It was just a little fun between husband and wife.

He sat in his study, listening to Wang Li in front of him talking about various things bit by bit. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Wang Li finished speaking.

"Well, you did a good job. It seems that we really took a lot this time. You all have gained a lot of weight. But tell them not to let their guard down these days."

"This benefit is not so easy to get. The Ashile tribe suffered such a huge loss this time, they can't help but retaliate, so we must be more cautious at times like this." Xue Wanfeng ordered.

"General, don't worry. We brothers know everything. We have dealt with them a lot over the years. We know their character very well." Wang Li said
"Well, then I feel relieved. By the way, have those female slaves been behaving well recently? Is there anything unusual?" Xue Wanfeng asked
"General, those female slaves have been very well behaved these past two days. I had people watching them all the way back, and they didn't do anything." Wang Li bowed and said
"Well, that's right, that's right, but we can't let our guard down. The Khatun of the Ashile tribe must have done something here, so we have to be on guard." Xue Wanfeng said

"General, rest assured, I will keep a close eye on them." Wang Li said
"Hey, actually you don't need to be too tight. If you are too tight, you won't be able to find the flaws. You can relax a little on the surface. There is no rush. Take your time. The Ashile tribe will not come this year."

"So we still have plenty of time, no need to rush." ​​Xue Wanfeng ordered.

After hearing this, Wang Li bowed again and then turned and left the study. After he left, Xue Wanfeng began to think about who Chang'an would send this time and what the prince would do next.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the person Xue Wanfeng had been waiting for finally arrived. As he expected, the people who came were all old acquaintances of his.

"Fourth brother, Mr. Wei, you are here, please come in." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

Xue Wanche and Wei Zheng did not refuse after hearing this, but followed him into the mansion. "Fourth brother, you and Mr. Wei are here to pass on the emperor's order, right? Let's not talk about those messy things. Tell me, what did Li Shimin give us this time?" Xue Wanfeng said directly.

"Balang, you... well, I'll be frank. There's nothing else to say, but the main thing is that His Majesty has conferred the title of Duke of Guangyang County on you." Xue Wanche said directly

"Oh? Duke of Guangyang County? Interesting, interesting. But fourth brother, I'm afraid that Li Shimin will be disappointed. I, the Duke of Guangyang County, will not listen to him." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

"Balang, I know. In fact, before we came here this time, His Majesty had specifically told us that this is his promise to you. You can acknowledge this identity anytime you want."

"His Majesty will always recognize you and will make important use of you," Wei Zheng said.
"Haha, Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all. His mind is really extraordinary. I admire him. But the important thing is that with my wife around, that day will never come."

"Thank your Majesty for your kindness on my behalf and tell him that I appreciate it." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

After hearing this, Wei Zheng and the other two were moved, because they heard Xue Wanfeng call him "Your Majesty" just now, which means that he has already recognized Your Majesty as the emperor in his heart.

This is extremely important. It can be said that with this, their trip was not in vain.

"By the way, fourth brother, the battle of Shuozhou is over. Where did His Majesty arrange for Wang Ye to go? Why haven't I received any news at all?" Xue Wanfeng said

"Don't worry, Balang. The prince is fine. His Majesty has transferred him to Shazhou to guard the Western Regions. He should still be on the way, so he didn't give you any news."

"But it should be soon. I guess you will receive news from the prince in the next few days." Xue Wanche said directly after hearing this.
"Oh? Guarding the Western Regions? His Majesty is really calculating, but doesn't he worry at all? Sometimes I really can't understand why His Majesty is so confident?" Xue Wanfeng said

"Balang, you were still young when the world was in chaos, so you don't know much about it. Your Majesty's reputation back then is well known to everyone. Most of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by Your Majesty."

"But what they don't know is that they have to go through so much along the way, and how strong a heart is needed to gain such a great reputation during this period."

"Actually, Balang, you don't know that the prince actually considered surrendering directly to Li Shimin, but then he realized that conquering the world and ruling the world are two different things."

"That's why the prince finally chose the former crown prince, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen later. The world is really unpredictable." Xue Wanche said with some emotion
"Oh? So there is such a secret behind what happened back then. This is the first time I've heard of it. By the way, fourth brother, don't just talk about me, talk about you. I heard that you've been promoted now, too?" Xue Wanfeng said

"Me? What can I say? Compared to you, my situation is nothing. I was just promoted to Lingzhou's governor. It's nothing compared to your situation." Xue Wanche said

"Haha, fourth brother, you are so modest. His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and your good days are still ahead. Well, I have prepared a banquet for you, shall we go over?" Xue Wanfeng said

After listening to this, Xue Wanche nodded. After all, he had just talked so much and was indeed a little hungry, so they went straight to eat.

At this time, in the Governor's Mansion, in a room where the female slaves of the Ashile tribe were housed, Mimiguli was secretly recording everything she knew.

Although she knew that the Khatun would not contact her so soon, she still had to be prepared so that when the Khatun contacted her, she would have something to report.

She knew very well that only by listening to Khatun's words could her brother live safely, but what she didn't know was that her abnormality had already been discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

It was soon reported to the outside world and Changge received the news not long after. After learning the news, she did not make it public because it was only the first one.

There are a total of one hundred people brought back this time, and there must be more here. After all, if I were the princess, she would not only arrange one person.

Besides, her husband was currently entertaining Wei Zheng and the others, so it was not convenient at all. So Ran was not in a hurry. She waited until Xue Wanfeng returned to his room in the evening before she stepped forward and said, "Husband, you are back."

"Madam, I see that you don't look very happy. What's wrong? Are you worried about my fourth brother and the others? Actually, you don't have to worry. They can't affect me in any way."

"Li Shimin conferred on me the title of Duke of Guangyang County this time, but I have no intention of accepting it. I have also told my fourth brother and Wei Zheng about this." Xue Wanfeng said directly

"Husband, I know, I know you won't do that. Of course I believe you. The reason I do this is because I discovered a spy today." Li Changge said directly

"Oh? A spy? Madam, you are amazing. You discovered it in just a few days?" Xue Wanfeng said

"Husband, it is precisely because he was discovered so quickly that I am not very happy. After all, being discovered so quickly is enough to prove that this person is not very important."

"There must be more important spies among those people." Changge said solemnly.

"Ma'am, don't worry. No matter how many spies there are, they can't cause any trouble. They can't even contact the outside world right now."

"The news from our mansion will never get out. Don't worry. I have asked Wang Li to arrange people to keep an eye on the people in our mansion. I will be able to detect any movements." Xue Wanfeng said

"Well, my husband, as long as you are prepared, I have never understood why you want to keep them in the mansion. We can send them to the farm outside the city."

"I know you want to use them to confuse the Ashile tribe, but I think it's too risky." Changge said worriedly.
"Madam, I have actually thought about what you said, but our Youzhou is too close to the grassland. We may be able to stop them once, but we may not be able to stop them a second time."

"Next year, the Ashile tribe will definitely invade Youzhou. I must dig out the spies in Youzhou City before that, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Xue Wanfeng said

"Okay, I understand, husband. I will have someone bring the spy here tomorrow. I will interrogate him first. What if I can find something?" Chang Ge said
