Chapter 773 Offensive and defensive intertwined (5)
Yue Dongyue followed up with Gongsun's words: "Your lord, ministers, and Gongsun all think that the emperor is so anxious. Could it be that many spies from the Gaobei Kingdom have been hidden in Yandu, including Hongren who escaped from Taibai Temple? What Xu Daxia said, judging from the information we have now, it is obvious that it has something to do with the Gaobei country. It is obvious that the emperor never thought that Gaobei country would have a foot in his own people. The emperor was afraid, The resourceful Eighth Master was dispatched with the obvious purpose of taking the opportunity to eliminate the spies in the north. Because the Dudu Mansion does not seem to be reliable, and Lu Borui is not very reliable."

"It's not that Lu Borui is unreliable, it's that Lu Borui is a bit stupid." The two sandstones Zhu Li was holding between his fingers flew out, hitting the mouse that was being chased by his pet dog Golden Retriever in the yard.

A group of counselors didn't laugh because of his words, and they didn't laugh.

The golden retriever saw that the plaything he was chasing when he was bored was killed by his master with a stone first, he was a little upset, wagged his tail resentfully, and was about to run away in despair.Seeing this, Hu Erge quickly caught up with it and grabbed it.

Anyone can see that the golden retriever is not in a good mood.Because the last time the mistress disappeared, it wanted to show off its talents, but how could it know that the master would not take it out. Also, the wolf king who liked to fight with it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Lying on the ground, the golden retriever was shackled, with its dog's head drooping, looking dejected.

The people in the room, seeing the golden retriever like this, felt sorry for each other.

Zhu Li stood up, so everyone in the room was silent, waiting for his order.

"The effect of the last order to close the city is obvious. The emperor thought it was an opportunity, and it was time to do it. As long as the other party is eager to do it, it is our chance."

The winter solstice is coming, and Princess Li invited everyone to participate in the winter solstice banquet that was going to be held in the Duke's Mansion. Because of an imperial decree given by the emperor to the Duke of the Protectorate, when it spread wildly in the streets and alleys, everyone thought that it was probably for It's over.However, the rumors that were in vain were broken in less than a day.

The invitation card for the winter solstice banquet from the wife of the Lord Protector's Mansion was distributed according to the original plan on the day the emperor's decree arrived.Now, some mansions received invitations, and some people originally thought that they would receive invitations but did not receive them in the end.All kinds of rumors are even more controversial.

"It seems that the prince does not intend to let the princess go back to the capital to explain this matter to the emperor."

In Ningyuan Hou's mansion, a group of girlfriends assembled by Mrs. Zhao all looked a little sad.Most of them did not receive Li Min's invitation.

Mrs. Zhao asked them not to be in a hurry, saying: "Princess Li came to Yandu for the first time, so she doesn't know so many things, let alone the various relationships in Yandu. After Princess Li sent out the invitation, Princess Jing still has to go through it. "

But everyone didn't believe Mrs. Zhao's words, because, if Mrs. You wanted to see it, it must be the daughter-in-law who had seen it before sending out the invitation.So there are only two possibilities, or You Shi has seen it before and agreed with Li Min's proposition.Either You Shi didn't intervene in this matter at all, and everything was decided by Li Min.Anyway, these two possibilities are not good things for them, which means that the result cannot be changed at all.

The Zhao family didn't believe that Li Min didn't send invitations to them, how could it be possible, after all, Ningyuanhou's mansion and Duke Huguo's mansion are relatives.

For this reason, some wives said sourly: "Did the lord spoil the concubine too much? It is said that not only did the Li family live in Yandu, but also lived in a detached palace where the lord lived in Yandu when he was a child."

There must be more than one Duke Hu's mansion in Yandu. There are several real estates inside and outside Yandu. If rich and noble families always live in one place and get tired of living in one place, they need to go elsewhere to adjust their mood.However, Duke Protector seldom lent his private property to others to live in. Zhu Li arranged for the Li family, and the unexpectedly generous spending almost made people in the clan jealous.

"More than that, the Li family not only received invitations today, but also received a cart of things from the prince and concubine. There are not only cloths in it, but also some silver ornaments."

After all, these Li family members who fled to Yandu are so shameless to the extreme, they take everything from their masters.

Some wives laughed bitterly: "They can't be, they don't even have decent clothes, and they need relief from the lord?"

When everyone heard this, they laughed together, but each of them buried deep sadness under the smiles.In any case, the Li family is now in the limelight and is being favored.

"Humph—" Mrs. Zhao finally couldn't help but patted the chair after she spoke, "What kind of thing is it, isn't it just a dog's leg of the master? Their other daughter in the capital is equal to them They didn't listen to the emperor, they listened to the lord, of course the lord wants to give them something sweet."

Now it's at the center of the topic.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, exchanging weird glances with each other.Mrs. Yuan leaned into Mrs. Zhao's ear and said something, which was exactly what everyone couldn't be sure of, whether Li Min was Li Datong's daughter or not.

In this regard, almost many people are biased, and Li Min is probably not Li Datong's daughter.

"The emperor sent imperial envoys to set off from the capital, and they will arrive in a few days. When these imperial envoys arrive at our Yandu, they must thoroughly investigate this matter and give our clan an explanation. Please be at ease, everyone." Zhao reassured Said according to the emotions of the people.

In fact, what everyone cares about is not whether they can attend the Winter Solstice Banquet, but whether or not they receive an invitation is not only related to whether they can attend the Winter Solstice Banquet, but more importantly, their relationship with the Duke Huguo.

Mrs. Zhao seemed to be able to guess what everyone was most worried about, and said: "Last time, King Li invited everyone to Taibai Temple, but what happened? What everyone saw with their own eyes was only King Li stretching out his sword towards us relatives." Ruthless and ruthless. Li Wang's move won the hearts of the people, but it will make us scapegoats miserable." After saying this, Mrs. Zhao raised her sleeves and wiped away her tears.

Everyone knows that the Ningyuan Hou Mansion did not receive the invitation this time because Heshi, the daughter-in-law of the third room of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, committed the crime of bribery and was imprisoned in the prison of Duke Huguo, and has not been released until now. .

Zhu Li is truly cold-blooded and ruthless.A chilly wind blew through everyone's hearts.

When leaving the Ningyuanhou Mansion and the Zhao family, Yuan Shi personally sent them over to visit his mother and sister.Before getting into the carriage, Yuan's mother told her daughter: "You and your mother-in-law, it is really a blessing among misfortunes that you and your mother-in-law survived this time. However, you can't rely on others for everything. Keep your eyes open."

Yuan thought it was the same.My mother-in-law doesn't seem to have any special abilities. I think when she first married, she relied on this aunt to support her. As a result, not only her husband and father-in-law hated her, but at the critical moment, her mother-in-law didn't even know her. She can't speak, she has to rely on herself for everything.
