Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 474 Returning to discuss with the couple
At this time, Xue Wanfeng didn't know that Li Shimin had been thinking about him. He was looking at the news that had just been delivered to him.

I didn't expect that Daizhou would fall so soon. The Ashile tribe really spent a lot of money this time. But this will be of great benefit to my plan.

"Wang Li, notify everyone now and have the army get ready. The situation is so exciting now, it would be a shame if we don't join in the fun." Xue Wanfeng said

After hearing this, Wang Li's face flashed with excitement. Although he didn't know what his general's plan was, it didn't stop him from being happy.

After all, he is not a fool, and he naturally knows the news outside. At this moment, as long as he takes action, he can gain great advantages whether dealing with the Tang Dynasty or the Ashile tribe.

How could he not be happy in this situation? Of course, the soldiers were also happy, even though they might die in the battle.

But the battle they are about to fight now is obviously a favorable one. If they don't even dare to go for this, then they might as well just go home and farm and raise their children.

Youzhou is not Chang'an. The people here are accustomed to fighting. They would even be uncomfortable if there were no wars, because they would have no money at that time.

So just like that, the entire Youzhou army began to make preparations, and Xue Wanfeng naturally had to go to the military camp as well. After all, with such a big matter, he would feel uneasy if he was not there to keep an eye on it.

It was at this time that Xue Wanche and Wei Zheng returned to Youzhou. As soon as they arrived in Youzhou, they found something unusual, but they didn't pay attention to it at first.

After all, there are wars everywhere now, so it is normal for Youzhou to be on guard. However, they soon stopped thinking so. After all, they are all people who have lived through troubled times.

They could still distinguish between guarding against the enemy and preparing for an attack. Now it was obvious that they were preparing to send troops, so they could not sit still.

They were almost reaching Youzhou City, so they stopped at a small inn to discuss countermeasures.

"Wan Che, based on your understanding of Wan Feng, who do you think is his target this time?" Wei Zheng said
"Sir, you have stumped me. I really want to tell you that Balang's target is the grassland people, but Balang is now with the princess."

"You also know what happened the other day. Although the princess' words were very nice, how could she let go of the blood feud so easily?"

"This is a great opportunity. Balang said that if the princess wants to rebel, he will accompany her. So if you ask me now, sir, I really can't answer you."

"So sir, please don't embarrass me. If you really want to ask me now, I can only say that we will take it one step at a time. I really don't know anything else." Xue Wanche said in embarrassment.
Wei Zheng did not speak after hearing this, because he was also like this. He could be said to have watched the princess grow up, and he thought he knew her character very well.

But just like Xue Wanche said, this is a blood feud. With such a good opportunity in front of her, would the princess really not be tempted? He couldn't guarantee it at all.

"Sir, the situation is critical now. No matter what the situation is in Youzhou, we have to go there to find out. No matter what Balang does, he will not take our lives."

"At most, they will just imprison you and me. So instead of wasting time here, why don't we go there earlier and get the result sooner?"

"I haven't slept well these days. I think you are the same, right?" Xue Wanche said.

"Yes, what you said makes sense. I was overthinking it. I really haven't slept well these days. Well, let's set off early tomorrow morning and get into the city as soon as possible." Wei Zheng said
After hearing this, Xue Wanche felt relieved. In fact, in his heart, no matter what his eighth brother did, it made no difference to him.

After all, once this choice is made, as his fourth brother, I cannot escape it.

What he didn't know was that his good brother was talking to Shen Gu in the central military tent.

"General Shen, you've gone through so much trouble to come out and see me in person. I guess you want to know who my target is, right?" Xue Wanfeng said

"You really can't hide anything from me. That's right. I want to know your decision, or the princess's decision." Shen Gu said directly.
"Haha, General Shen, you are very straightforward. Since you are so straightforward, I might as well be more straightforward. I plan to go to the grassland this time." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

"Huh? Grassland? General Xue, are you serious? Is the princess really like this?" Shen Gu asked in surprise

"General Shen, do you think I still need to lie to you today? Don't think too narrowly of the princess. She is Li Changge, the princess of the Tang Dynasty."

"It is true that there is a feud between her and Li Shimin, but that is only between them, not between her and the Tang Dynasty. Do you think that I am only interested in the princess's appearance?"

"If she only has a beautiful appearance, how can she be worthy of my love? General Shen, you not only underestimate the princess, you also underestimate me!" Xue Wanfeng said seriously.

"General Xue, please forgive me. It is my fault. I apologize to you." Shen Gu said
"It's okay. I won't bother about this. But General Shen, don't let anyone else know what we said today."

"You have been in Youzhou for many years, so you should know the methods of the Ashile tribe. There must be their spies in my Youzhou army, so I will need you to cooperate with me in a drama later." Xue Wanfeng said

"General Xue, don't worry. I know what to do." After hearing this, Shen Gu immediately understood what Xue Wanfeng meant.

Looking at Shen Gu's departing back, Xue Wanfeng felt very emotional. It was a pity that Shen Gu could not be used by me.

However, before he could express his feelings for long, Wang Li came in and interrupted him.

"What did you say? My fourth brother and his friends are back again? What's going on? Did they encounter an accident? Where are they now?" Xue Wanfeng said with a surprised look on his face.

"General, according to their schedule, they should have arrived today, but they chose an inn to rest, so they should arrive tomorrow." Wang Li bowed and said
"Hmm? Tomorrow? I see. Go and prepare the horses. They turned around and came back suddenly. Something must have happened. I have to go back and discuss countermeasures with the monarch." Xue Wanfeng said

After hearing this, Wang Li naturally did not dare to delay, so soon the horses were ready, Xue Wanfeng rode on the horse, and went to the city with his personal soldiers.

After Xue Wanfeng left, Shen Gu started acting. After Shen Gu came out of the central military tent, he kept frowning and looked unhappy.

When some people asked him something, he just nodded as a way of getting by. His somewhat abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of some people.

It didn't take them long to guess that Shen Gu's current situation was probably related to Xue Wanfeng's dispatch of troops this time, and that Xue Wanfeng's target this time was probably Chang'an. After coming to this conclusion, they naturally hurriedly sent the news out, and at this time, Xue Wanfeng looked at Xue Wanche opposite him with a look of shock.

"Fourth brother? Are you crazy? An arranged marriage? And to Princess Yong'an? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. I will never agree to it." Xue Wanfeng said

"Balang, I know this matter is somewhat sudden for you, but I have no choice. This is the will of His Majesty, and it is also the reason for our return this time." Xue Wanche said

"Of course I understand that. In fact, when you suddenly stopped at the inn, I knew what you were worried about. In fact, you don't have to worry at all."

"My goal this time is not Chang'an, but the grassland, and this is also agreed by the princess, so there is no need for any marriage." Xue Wanfeng said

"Balang, of course I believe what you said, but it's useless for me to believe you. His Majesty doesn't believe you, or he is worried." Xue Wanche said

"Hmm? What's there to worry about? He has watched the princess grow up since she was a child. Doesn't he know what kind of person the princess is like? Wait, I understand. Li Shimin is worried about me, right?" Xue Wanfeng talked for a while and suddenly reacted.

After hearing this, Xue Wanche did not pay attention to what his eighth brother said, but nodded directly.

"Fourth brother, you and I are brothers. If it were any other matter, I would not refuse your respect, but this matter is really not acceptable." Xue Wanfeng refused directly.

After hearing this, Xue Wanche didn't say anything, but just nodded. In fact, he had already thought that this would be the final result, so he was not surprised at all.

At this time, Wei Zheng also did not get the answer he wanted.

"Princess, why don't you understand? His Majesty doesn't distrust you, but he doesn't trust Xue Wanfeng. His Majesty doesn't believe that Xue Wanfeng will not be tempted." Wei Zheng said
"Mr. Wei, please stop talking. Li Shimin's thoughts are not important to me. He can think whatever he wants. I believe in my husband." Li Changge said

"Well, well, well, I'll take my leave now. I'm really sorry to bother you, princess." Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Wei Zheng could only stand up and say goodbye.

Not long after returning to the room, he heard a knock on the door. Wei Zheng opened the door and after seeing Xue Wanche's face, he knew that things were not going well.

At this time, Xue Wanfeng and Changge also returned to their rooms to discuss.

"Husband, to be honest, Le Yan is very beautiful, and she has a gentle personality, so she should be very popular with men. Why don't you agree?" Li Changge said with a smile.

"Madam, please don't test me. If I were really the kind of person who covets women, I would have been surrounded by beautiful women over the years. You are the only one in my heart." Xue Wanfeng said hurriedly.

"Haha, who knows whether what you said is true or not? But you passed the test, husband, I'm serious, how about you just marry Le Yan?" Li Changge said directly

"What? Madam, please stop joking, okay? This is not funny at all. I really have no interest in Princess Yong'an." Xue Wanfeng said directly

Am I kidding? What I said is true. I am not testing you. I really want you to marry Le Yan. Don't be anxious. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly.

"I have been with Li Shimin since I was a child. Although he taught me, I still know a little about his character. This time, my fourth brother and his friends returned because of Li Shimin's distrust."

"He doesn't trust me, and he doesn't trust you even more. He doesn't believe that you have no interest in that position. To be honest, my husband, do you really not want to be the emperor?" Li Changge asked
"Changge, actually, who doesn't want to be the emperor? But even if I send troops to Chang'an now and take it down by chance, I won't be the one sitting on that throne in the end."

"After all, don't forget that although these soldiers in Youzhou listen to me, they are still from the Luo family. If I take action now, it will only benefit the Luo family in vain, which is not worth the loss." Xue Wanfeng said

"My husband, I told you that. It seems that Li Shimin's worries are correct. But thank you, my husband, for telling me this." Li Changge said with a serious face.

"Madam, why are you so serious? I'm not used to it." Xue Wanfeng said

"Husband, if that's the case, then you should accept Le Yan. After all, even I couldn't figure out your thoughts before, let alone Li Shimin."

"This is a critical moment. If things go wrong, Chang'an will be lost, and the Central Plains, which has finally stabilized, will fall into the flames of war again."

"We can't let Li Shimin worry too much about us at this time. We need to make him feel at ease so that he can go all out to deal with the Ashile people."

"Although I really want to kill Li Shimin, I don't want anything to happen to the Tang Dynasty because of it. I no longer have a home, and I can't live without the Tang Dynasty anymore." Li Changge said

"Madam, you are still the same princess. You haven't changed at all. Haha, I will promise you about Li Leyan's matter." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

"Husband, you, okay husband, are you testing me?" Li Changge was very smart and immediately understood the meaning of Xue Wanfeng's words.

"Madam, are you allowed to test me but I am not allowed to test you? How can this be justified? Okay, okay, Madam, please don't be angry."

"In fact, you don't know that when Shen Gu met me, he asked me about the goal of this military expedition. I told him at that time. So you have to understand me too."

"After all, I was outside and blew all the bullshit, hehe." Xue Wanfeng said

"You, huh, forget it this time. Well, since you agreed, then I'm going to go see Le Yan. That girl doesn't know yet." Li Changge wanted to leave after saying that.

Xue Wanfeng grabbed his wife and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Madam, don't be anxious. Why are you in such a hurry? Let's finish our business first."

After saying this, Xue Wanfeng ignored Changge's objection and started his own actions directly. Soon, Changge stopped objecting.

At this time, the spies in the military camp also passed the news back to the grassland. At this time, the Khatun was looking at the intelligence in his hands.
