"Second brother, are you looking for me?"

Li Yuanba appeared in front of Li Shihao with a bow and arrow in his hand, with a childish look on his face. He was just studying the use of this new weapon. In a short time, he had already broken several bows, but he just couldn't use it.

"Yuanba, what are you doing with this thing?" Li Shihao said displeased.

"Oh, this thing can kill people. I want to give it a try, but I just can't learn it." He practiced like a cat and a tiger on his own, but of course he couldn't learn it. Even if he asked a prisoner to teach him, he wouldn't be able to master it within a few months.

Li Shihao said disdainfully: "These are all strange tricks designed by Qin Hu. They are of no use. Don't worry about this in the future. Fighting relies on real swords and guns."

Li Yuanba picked his nose: "Second brother, what do you want to do with me? I still have to go play."

Li Shihao sighed inwardly and said, "Yuanba, did you go out of town yesterday morning?"

"Yeah." Li Yuanba nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, yeah, I went to hunt tigers. They all said there were tigers in the mountains. But when I went out, I didn't see any tigers, but I beat up a white-haired wolf king.

I peeled off the wolf skin, how about I make you a pair of boots later?"

"This, hey -" Li Shihao's heart softened and he couldn't bear to say harsh words anymore.

"Yuanba, second brother wants to ask you, how many people did you bring out of the city the day before yesterday?"

Li Yuanba counted on his fingers for a long time, and finally rolled his eyes and said: "I don't know, I haven't been able to count since I was a child." Li Shihao was helpless and asked again: "Are they all soldiers and horses of your mountain-shaking army?"

"That's not true. There are still Sister Chen's people."

"Sister Chen, oh, I know." Li Shihao thought to himself, what's wrong, that bitch Chen Ruoli once entered into a marriage contract with Qin Hu, it is very likely that she took Mrs. Qin out.

But in that case, things would be a bit difficult to handle, because the matter involves the eldest brother Li Xuancheng, so what should we do?

"Liu Shilong, you and the Fourth Young Master go to the Eldest Young Master's residence and tell the Eldest Young Master this matter. Don't say anything else and come back directly."

Li Shihao kept it in mind that he did not send anyone around him. Liu Shilong had no family and no sect, and he was a lowly official. In this way, Li Xuancheng would not doubt him, let alone feel that he had lost face and caused discord between the brothers.

Liu Shilong's heart was like a mirror, he quickly agreed and walked out with Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba kept mumbling: "Hey, what's going on? I'm out of town. What's going on? After you've asked, big brother still wants to ask, what do you mean?"

"There is so much nonsense, just go if you are told." Li Shihao said sternly.

"Hey, okay." Li Yuanba said helplessly.

Li Xuancheng was discussing the military situation with his general Xue Wanche. Suddenly he heard someone reported that the Fourth Young Master was here, and he quickly stood up.

Xue Wanche was also a brave general with unparalleled courage. His father was the general Xue Shixiong who was killed in the Battle of Yanmen some time ago.

Xue Shixiong had five sons, but most of them were insignificant. Xue Wanche was the fourth, but he was the most talented and martial arts among the five brothers.

After Xue Shixiong died, Yang Shou not only ignored him, but also accused him of humiliating the country by defeating the army, and transferred all the responsibilities of Yu Wenji to Xue Shixiong, so the Xue family was very resentful.

When the Li clan invaded Chang'an, the Xue family immediately swore allegiance to Li Yuan. Because Li Xuancheng and Xue Wanche had known each other since childhood, Xue Wanche became Li Xuancheng's confidant.

At this time, Xue Wanche's eyes changed and he glanced at Li Xuancheng, but said nothing.

Li Xuancheng waved his hand: "Second and fourth are in the spotlight now. Jinyang raised troops, opened up Hedong, and conquered Chang'an. It was basically the second who commanded and planned. The tough battles were fought by the fourth. I, the eldest brother, seem a bit insignificant.

, fell into obscurity.”

Xue Wanche naturally understood Li Xuancheng's troubles, but he was not a fool. As the saying goes, there is no way to instigate a relationship between brothers, so he remained silent.

"Right now, the Third Young Master is guarding Jinyang and is in charge of supplying food and grass. Although he has nothing to do, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he has made a meritorious service. What can he do about it?" Li Xuancheng complained indifferently.

Xue Wanche coughed and said, "My eldest son, Qin Hu is making such a big fuss now that he has actually become a serious problem for the Li clan. Why don't you ask for orders to attack Yongfengcang? If you win, it will be a great achievement."

Li Xuancheng's eyes lit up: "But I can't beat them. In this regard, I really can't compare with the second and fourth children. I'm not even as good as the third child."

"That's okay, we can let the fourth young master go with us." Xue Wanche raised the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, that's right." Li Xuancheng knocked on his forehead with a folding fan, and said with a sudden realization: "Yes, the second brother can use the fourth brother as a vanguard, and I, the eldest brother, can naturally do it too."

"Wan Che, I found that you are not only a capable general, but also quite resourceful." Li Xuancheng smiled happily and said, "Do you have any other good ideas so that I won't fall behind others?"

Xue Wanche pondered for a moment and said: "There are some things that I can't say too much about, but I think the eldest son can make a fuss about the marriage."

"To be honest, if the marriage alliance is good, it is really better than thousands of troops. Don't forget that the Yu Dynasty relied on powerful families to rule the world. Getting the support of one big family is far better than getting the support of several counties.

The territory. I heard that as soon as the second son entered the city, he took two widows from the Wei family as concubines——"

Xue Wanche stopped talking, and Li Xuancheng suddenly felt a lot of pressure. By doing this, the second brother was clearly cultivating political power for himself, and he couldn't be idle.

"What about if I marry the daughter of the Dugu family? The Dugu family is very powerful and has produced several queens. They are very lucky. I will marry them. Will my father be happy?"

Xue Wanche waved his hands repeatedly: "Eldest Young Master, that happened in the past. Now Dugu Huai'en caused trouble and was tricked to death by Qin Hu. Duke Tang hated the Dugu family to death. Dugu Huai'enfei said that his family had real dragon luck, so Tang Guo Gong

After we are officially proclaimed emperor, we will not let them go, so please don't mention this matter again."

"Thank you for reminding me, I'm confused." Li Xuancheng hit his forehead with the folding fan again: "The Pei family and Qin Hu are together, and the Yuwen family has become a negative example. This is not good. The Daxi family has declined, and it is not appropriate.

The Cui family of Shandong is not in Chang'an, so I have no choice."

Xue Wanche said: "How could it be possible? Didn't the eldest son propose marriage to the eldest son's family before? The eldest son's family has many branches and branches. If the eldest son marries his family, his power will increase."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it. The last time I proposed marriage to his family, it failed. I'm still angry to this day. The girl from her family named Changsun Wuyou is also known as one of the four beauties in the capital. I think their threshold is too high. We may not

They are so high up, so I don’t bother to deal with their family.”
