Xue Rengui naturally did not dare to neglect his slightest face when facing Xu Maogong, so he hurriedly bowed back and said, "Mr. Xu! This rebellious son is bold and unscrupulous, so you don't have to plead for him."

"Marson, I'm not trying to plead for Xue Dingshan!" Xu Maogong said casually, but Cheng Yaojin behind him stared at him and gritted his teeth, making the other generals confused for a while.

Xue Rengui was also surprised, then frowned and said, "Why is this the military advisor?"

"Marson! The army of Ding Shan went west to rescue the lord. He passed by Qipanshan and surrendered generals such as Shan Ximu, Dou Yihu, Dou Xiantong and tens of thousands of bandits who had fallen into the country. Is it a great achievement?" Xu Maogong asked without answering.

When Cheng Yaojin heard Xu Maogong say this, he immediately came back to his senses and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This bull's nose will be a mysterious trick that is roundabout and mysterious."

Some of the other generals were still confused, but some reacted the same way.

Xue Rengui was not stupid either. He understood a little when he heard this, but since Xu Maogong asked this, he could not stop people from talking! So, Xue Rengui nodded with a frown and said, "It's a great achievement!"

"Then Ding Shan led his army to conquer the three levels without much loss. Is it another credit?" Xu Maogong continued.

Xue Rengui nodded slightly with his eyes closed, but he was too lazy to even speak.

Xu Maogong continued without caring: "Is it considered a skill to sprinkle the siege in Suoyang City and kill Su Bao and hundreds of thousands of troops to throw away their armor and win a complete victory?"

"What exactly does the military advisor want to say?" Xue Rengui had no choice but to open his eyes and look at Xu Maogong.

Xu Mao spoke upright: "Marcedes-Master, merits should be rewarded, and punishments should be made! Ding Shan is wrong. But he made great contributions. The Marshal only talks about his mistakes, not his meritorious ministers, and deals with meritorious ministers in this way. How to convince the generals and make the soldiers think? Just imagine that their commander led them to make contributions but was going to be killed. Then they will inevitably think whether they are right or wrong in their wholehearted efforts for the country. At that time, I am afraid that many people will think that the Marshal is a ruthless and unrighteous, jealous of jealous officials. In this way, how should the Marshal handle himself?"

"I" Xue Rengui's face turned red and he couldn't speak immediately. Xu Maogong opened his mouth and could even say that he was alive. How could Xue Rengui say that he was alive?

"Well said!" A clear laughter sounded. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi, wearing a dragon robe, walked in with Li Luanhu and his personal eunuch.

Xue Rengui hurriedly left the commander's throne, greeted him and knelt respectfully on one knee: "See the Emperor!"

"See the Emperor!" Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin and others also knelt on one knee to salute.

After Li Zhi walked straight to the handsome case, he sat on the handsome throne, looked at everyone with a smile and waved his hand, "You are all flat!"

Li Luanhu and the eunuch were standing on both sides of Li Zhi like a god. Xue Rengui was the first to take the lead below. He also stood respectfully with the generals.

"General Xue, I was outside just now. I seemed to hear you say you want to kill Xue Dingshan, right?" Li Zhi looked at Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Yes, the emperor!"

"Oh? Why?" Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "He rescued Xue Dingshan and saved the enemy. He was a meritorious in defeating the enemy. Why did Marshal Xue not care about the father-son relationship at all, and wanted to kill him?"

Xue Rengui said with sincerity: "Your Majesty! This rebellious son recruits his wife in front of the formation, which violates the military law. As the commander, he does not know how to set an example and knows that he has committed the crime. The crime cannot be forgiven. I will deal with it according to the military law. There is no bias."

The eunuch beside Li Zhi's side twitched slightly and his mouth was stuttering: "What a cruel father!"

Li Luanhu on the other side also curled a sneer and sarcastic arc, and said intimately, "What kind of tricks are you playing? Xue Rengui, you are smart and confused for a lifetime. I wonder if the emperor hates these tricks the most. Are you a fool when you act as the emperor?"

"Emperor, Xue Dingshan has made great contributions. Even if he is wrong, he will not be punished until he dies. If he is executed, the court will lose one pillar of talent, and it will also be a great loss to the great cause of the expedition to the west!" Xu Maogong said.

Li Zhi nodded immediately after hearing this: "Xu Aiqing's words are reasonable! Marshal Xue, can you see if you don't kill Xue Dingshan for my sake? He also told me about his wife recruiting in front of the formation. It's understandable! It's not a mistake. Besides, Dingshan did marry a good wife, which is also a blessing for the Xue family."

"Emperor, the daughter of the bandit, what kind of good wife is he?" Xue Rengui shook his head and said.

Li Zhi refused to comment, looked at Xu Maogong, and then said, "Master Xue doesn't agree with my words?"

"I don't dare!" Xue Rengui said hurriedly: "But, that Dou Xiantong is really arrogant and rude!"

"Did Marshal Xue have some misunderstandings about her?" Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I think this fairy-child Dou is a rare woman, and it is admirable!"

"Emperor!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but be surprised and stunned when he heard Li Zhi admire Dou Xiantong so much.

Li Zhi smiled, "Come on, Mrs. Xue, Princess Zhaoyang and Fairy Dou come here!"

Soon, the three girls who were summoned came to Yin'an Hall together.

Dou Xiantong and Princess Zhaoyang held Liu Yinhuan on the left and right, and went forward to pay homage to Li Zhi.

"Flat!" Li Zhi said with a smile, "Come here, I'll be watching Mrs. Xue and Princess Zhaoyang!"

Immediately someone brought two seats. After Liu Yinhuan and Zhaoyang thanked each other, they sat down carefully.

Li Zhi, who nodded kindly to them, turned to look at Dou Xiantong who was holding Liu Yinhuan and knelt silently: "Dou Xiantong, didn't I let you flatten you? Why did you kneel again?"

"The young woman apologized to the emperor!" Dou Xiantong said unexpectedly.

Li Zhi seemed to be interested and couldn't help but ask, "Oh? Dou Xiantong, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty! The fairy boy lost his parents since he was young and depended on his elder brother for life. Fortunately, he got the opportunity to study art under the disciples of the Virgin of Huanghua and the Elder Wang Chan. After the art was completed, our brother and sister went to join a distant uncle. However, the uncle had been killed by a bully because the bully fell in love with my uncle's cousin and wanted to dominate. My uncle refused to obey, so the evil thief colluded with the government, killed his uncle, insulted his cousin, and caused her to commit suicide. My brother and I were angry for a moment. Kill the bully and the accomplice official, but had no choice but to go to the chessboard to fall into the grass," Dou Xiantong said. He immediately heard everyone sympathizing with her life experience, and even Xue Rengui's expression changed slightly.

Dou Xiantong, with beautiful eyes red, continued: "On Qipan Mountain, although our brothers and sisters are bandits, they have never hurt a good person, and have not robbed a commoner. Even if they are passing merchants, they will not rob them all. A few days ago, Ding Shan led his army to Qipan Mountain and had some conflicts with us. I saw the heroic figure of Ding Shan and fell in love with us. The two brothers dared to threaten Ding Shan for me and fulfill our marriage. This is all because of me, it has nothing to do with my two brothers, and it is not Ding Shan's fault. I know. I am a daughter of a bandit. I am not worthy of Ding Shan. If the emperor and the marshal want to know the crime, please punish me. I am willing to die on Ding Shan!"

"Fairy Child!" Xue Dingshan was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! Ding Shan is obsessed with beauty, and is my selfish intention, and has nothing to do with fairy Child! Please don't blame the fairy Child!"

Li Zhi smiled when he saw this: "Haha, what a couple is so deeply in love!"

"Marson Xue. What should you do with this?" Li Zhi turned to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui said seriously: "Your Majesty, the rebellious son has already pleaded guilty. He should be dealt with according to military law! This fairy boy Dou has a bad intention and should not let me tempt my son easily. But if she has made merits with the court, I will expel her from the army!"

"Oh? Then why don't you remember Ding Shan's merit?" Li Zhi's smile slightly dimmed and asked in a cold voice.

Xue Rengui was stunned and then hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not tolerate your rebellious son!"

"Xue Rengui, I see you are in a coma for so many days and are lying in a mess!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly jumped out and pointed at Xue Rengui and said, "Do you know, who took out the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to save your life? It's a fairy child! She originally had cold poison, and relied on the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to suppress it. Now the Nine Yang Divine Pearl has used it to save you and cannot suppress the cold poison. Do you know how painful the cold poison will be in the fairy child's body?"

"What?" Xue Rengui widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Dou Xiantong in disbelief.

Xue Dingshan also looked moved and seemed to think of something. He hurriedly looked at Dou Xiantong and said nervously: "Fairy Tong, why don't you say it? I was in the room before, did you have a cold poison attack?"

"Ding Shan, I'm fine! That cold poison won't kill me," Dou Xiantong shook his head and smiled.

Looking at Dou Xiantong's indifferent look, Xue Dingshan felt both distressed and grateful. If he was reluctant to marry Dou Xiantong before, he now truly recognized this wife.

Xue Rengui, who was slightly lost, turned to react and couldn't help looking at Xu Maogong with an unnatural expression: "Mr. Xu"

"That's right! It's true that Fairy Child gave you the Nine Yang Divine Pearl that her teacher gave you to protect you," Xu Maogong nodded.

Listening to Xu Maogong's sure thing, Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel a fever on his face and felt ashamed.

Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but speak, "Xue Aiqing, now you should understand? Although Dou Xiantong is a bandit, she is very wise, respects her parents-in-law, and helps her husband. It is really rare! Ding Shan was able to marry such a good woman, and it was also his luck and the blessing of the Xue family!"

"Emperor! I am really ashamed to blame my daughter-in-law for her own prejudice!" Xue Rengui bowed to Li Zhi, and then turned to Dou Xiantong and said ashamed: "Fairy Child! I blame you wrongly, I hope you don't mind."

When Dou Xiantong saw Xue Rengui like this, he was immediately panicked and said, "Don't want to do this, father-in-law, kill the Xiantong."

Looking at Dou Xiantong's nervous and panic-looking look, Xue Rengui felt even more ashamed when he felt a fever on his face.

"Okay! Marshal Xue, your family is reunited, the misunderstanding has been resolved. Ding Shan has married such a good wife, which is a great joy!" Li Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, I won't bother you, I will go back to the palace first."

As he said that, Li Zhi got up and left, and the eunuch and Li Luanhu were also busy following him.

With the respectful sends from everyone, Li Zhi, who was about to go out, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Luanhu with a frown: "Luanhu, you are a general in the army. Marshal Xue gathers with generals, why are you following me?"

"Yes, the emperor!" Li Luanhu, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but responded respectfully with a slight expression.

After sending Li Zhi away, Xue Rengui stood up straight, and the marshal's majesty was revealed. He glanced at everyone and shouted: "Come here! Xue Dingshan recruits his wife in front of the formation. Although there are reasons and achievements, he violates military law after all. Death crimes can be avoided, but it is hard to spare the crime of living. Drag Xue Dingshan down and beat the fifty boards again. He was imprisoned for three months to show punishment!"

"Rengui!" "Father-in-law!" Liu Yinhuan, Dou Xiantong and others all spoke in a hurry.

Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "Okay! I have decided, so there is no need to say much!"

This time, Xu Maogong was silent and said nothing.

Cheng Yaojin wanted to speak but stopped, hesitated for a while, and had to glar at Xue Rengui without saying a word.

"Mom! Fairy Child! You don't have to plead for me." Xue Dingshan said calmly: "My father has already made mercy outside the law! If he has failed to punish, how can he convince people's hearts? Where is the majesty of military law? Dingshan has made mistakes first, and he is willing to be punished!"

Listening to Xue Dingshan's words, Xue Rengui, with a stern face, then his expression of satisfaction appeared in his eyes with a slightly calmer expression.

Seeing Xue Dingshan being pulled out by soldiers and listening to the faint sound of the blunt weapon hitting his body, the silent generals in Yin'an Hall couldn't help but feel awe and admiration for Xue Rengui. The great marshal Xue Rengui was able to make all the soldiers surrender, but it was not for nothing!

However, among the crowd, Li Luanhu gritted his teeth and secretly hated that it was just so cheap Xue Dingshan.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Dou Yihu even apologized to his sister, and felt relieved.

Shan Ximu, whose eyes were narrowed slightly and his eyes were flashing, looked at Xue Rengui with a slightly more serious expression. He nodded slightly.

"Report!" An anxious voice of the news came out, and the messenger ran in quickly. Facing the eyes of the generals, he knelt on one knee to Xue Rengui and reported to him: "Report to the Grand Marshal! Queen Su Jinlian of Xiliang led his army to set up camp outside the Ximen. There are about 300,000 to 400,000 troops."

Xue Rengui couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this: "Su Jinlian?"

"Marson! That Su Jinlian is the sister of Princess Xiliang and Su Baotong. This woman is not weak in martial arts and has learned evil ways. At the end of the previous episode, she was ordered to chase Su Baotong, but she was rescued by her army and fought with her," Shan Ximu bowed.

Xue Rengui looked at Shan Ximu with a brow raised: "Oh? General Shan isn't you? You can't do anything to Su Jinlian?"

"Su Jinlian is indeed not easy to deal with! But she can't do anything to me," Shan Ximu shook his head and said confidently.

Xue Rengui nodded and pondered for a while before saying, "The general comes to block the water and soil! Let's see what Fan Po's next moves, and it's not too late to deal with it. If you send an order, the three armies will make meals earlier, the entire army will be on guard, and send additional posts to guard the city strictly to prevent the Soviet army from coming to attack the city."

"Yes, Marshal!" The generals responded respectfully, and then dispersed one by one.

After leaving Yin'an Hall, Shan Ximu, who had walked not far, suddenly looked slightly moved and said to Dou Yihu: "Yihu, you go back first, I have to deal with some things first."

"Brother, the poster of the game will be launched. I don't know when it will be launched. You will leave at this time." Dou Yihu frowned slightly.

Shan Ximu said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't leave the city, I will be back soon."

"Okay! Brother, be careful!" Dou Yihu didn't ask much, but he also understood that the things that Shan Ximu valued so much were not simple things, and he might even be dangerous.

Shan Ximu patted Dou Yihu on the shoulder and turned his head to him and smiled: "Do your thing with peace of mind."

As he said that, Shan Ximu left alone, and soon changed into casual clothes and left the marshal's headquarters. Following the busy streets of crowds, he came to a dilapidated courtyard in a remote place in the city.

With his eyes narrowed, he looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him. Shan Ximu went straight forward and knocked on the somewhat decaying gate.
