When the female official in the forbidden hurried to Xuanwu Gate with the order, the storm had come to an end, and Wu Youning and Xue Huaiyi temporarily withdrew from Xuanwu Gate.

The corpse that fell to the ground was thrown in the corner of the palace wall. As for the monks of the White Horse Temple who followed Xue Huaiyi into Xuanwu City, more than 50 thousand cavalry soldiers were forced to a corner of the palace gate with swords, and they squatted on the ground one by one.

Feng Guoyi, who was stripped of armor and only wore a single garment, was also in this state now. He looked very eye-catching among the monks with blue and white scalp and no inch hair.

Li Tong also stood here with a knife, took the order from the female official and checked it out for a while, and then asked someone to go out of Xuanwu Gate to invite Xue Huaiyi. However, after waiting for a while, Xue Huaiyi still did not see him entering. He apologized to the female official and said, "There is still new things to be reported in this place, and there is still a laborious process for the female official to go back and forth."

Of course, the female official also noticed that the atmosphere here was strange, but she did not dare to ask questions out of caution. After hearing the words of the King Dai, she just nodded and did not say much.

Li Tong led the female official to Zhitang, picked up the pen and quickly told the matter, and then asked the female official to hurriedly bring her handwritten letter into the memorial.

After seeing off the female official, Li Tong did not return to the vicinity of Xuanwu Gate, but just sat in the straight hall waiting for the new orders in the ban.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that his grandmother was so mean that she was almost inhumane in some places, but she was really indulged in Xue Huaiyi and was so favored that she was beyond common sense. In previous years, Xue Huaiyi looked at the palace as if nothing had happened, and led his party members to the forbidden palace more than once or twice. Such behaviors were often criticized by the censors of the foreign court, but his grandmother never responded.

This time, Li Tong's knife slashed Xue Huaiyi's entourage, not only because they had deep grudges between them, they were not just acting intently.

His grandmother is indeed dependent on him. The actions of Lai Junchen from the outside court have already made the court officials frightened. If there is another situation of the soldiers' disagreement in the North Yaman area, once the news spreads, the situation may be even more unsuppressed. Therefore, everything that happened tonight is destined to be solved quietly and must not be placed on the table.

Li Tong has reached this point now, keeping a low profile is no longer the top priority for self-purpose. To be honest, even if his grandmother wants to solve him, she must consider the influence of all aspects, and is no longer a little chick that can be killed by a different idea.

What's more, he was not wrong this time, but his methods were a little more irritable. Even if his grandmother held him accountable this time, he was not speechless.

The situation in the North Korea is already so tense. I am so nervous when I watch the door day and night. As a result, your nephew fucked you and your husband, who is ashamed of the palace as if nothing was left. Hulala, a large group of people come and leave whenever they say it. Why are you so heartless and able to sleep soundly?

But even if you can tolerate it, I can't stand it. In my eyes, you are not disrespectful to the old man. Lao Buxiu, who raises his mistress, you are my grandmother. Or you don't let me guard the door. As long as I stay here, this kind of thing will not happen again!

Li Tong was also here thinking about how to respond to the accountability that his grandmother might have in the future. The outside soldiers came to sue again, saying that General Zuo Yulin Tuo Chongyu had arrived at Xuanwu Gate and summoned His Highness Dai Wang and Xue Huaiyi to meet the palace together.

Although Tuo Chongyu is quite rough, his mind is delicate. When Li Tong walked out of the Zhitang and came to the back of Xuanwu Gate, Tuo Chongyu had already led Xue Huaiyi away first, so that the two would not have the chance to meet and have another chance to have a conflict.

"It was originally under Xiao Wang's ministry, but the general was tired and running around. I'm so ashamed."

Li Tongxing went forward, clasped his fists at Tuo Chongyu, and then said.

After hearing this, Tuo Chongyu just waved his hand and smiled: "Your Highness doesn't have to be too polite. Since you are a guard, you can only walk inside and outside, and there is no question of whether you are tired or not."

While they were talking, the two of them walked side by side in the Forbidden Palace under the protection of a group of Yulin soldiers.

Although he stopped talking, Li Tong clearly felt that Tuo Chongyu's attitude towards him had improved slightly. Especially in the corridors, palace gates and other turning points, Tuo Chongyu deliberately slowed down, raised his hand to induce him, and asked the King of Dai to go first. Compared with the official attitude of sending the King of Dai to the Qianqi camp earlier, he was undoubtedly much more kind.

In addition, Li Tong also smelled the fragrance emitted by Tuo Chongyu's body that was even stronger, which was a little beyond the need to cover up his body odor, and seemed to be covering up something.

As he turned around in the night, Li Tong didn't know where he had already walked to the palace. When he reached a remote palace, Tuo Chongyu took a quick step and approached Li Tong, and whispered: "Your Highness does this night, don't have to worry too much. Your Majesty the Holy Emperor is aware of his plan, and His Highness is just abiding by his duties. The guards are loyal and brave, and he will never blame His Highness for this!"

When Li Tong heard this, he was stunned. Then, he turned his head suspiciously and looked at Tuo Chongyu, unable to understand why the other party suddenly released his kindness like this.

Tuo Chongyu avoided Li Tong's slightly scrutinized gaze, but soon turned back and continued to whisper: "Mr. Xue has always been a singular act, but his unjust boast is no longer a short day. He has made old achievements in the border, regardless of the realities, but his words and deeds are just a sign of expression, which inevitably makes people underestimate the military affairs. The loyal and diligent soldiers inside and outside are also vain and destined to be snatched from the vanity of one person, and he will never get the eyes of the world."

After hearing this, Li Tong was a little surprised. It seemed that Xue Huaiyi's excessive publicity had already made many people feel dissatisfied, and even Tuo Chongyu, the Imperial Army general, had quite a grudge.

It is normal to think about it. Regardless of the level of Xue Huaiyi's power, it cannot be said that he was completely futile to lead his army to fight several times, but the so-called military merits really need to squeeze out the water, and it is probably possible that people can drown.

But this guy is surprisingly lucky. Even if other generals of the commanding army are well-known in military affairs and have profound strategies, they dare not boast of winning when they go out. However, Xue Huaiyi is as easy as an outing and has achieved great success.

During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the generals of internal and external war were actually crushed by a mere idiot. If the generals inside and outside still like Xue Huaiyi, they would have really seen a ghost.

Li Tong didn't expect that he would have such unexpected gains when he cut Xue Huaiyi's entourage in the Xuanwu Gate.

Tuo Chongyu is one of the few imperial guards in the court who is trusted and valued by his grandmother. In the past, Li Tong was considered to have a strong position and could not be treated differently by him.

As a result, this time, because of suppressing Xue Huaiyi's arrogance, Tuo Chongyu's attitude towards him improved, which shows that Xue Huaiyi is really very hated.

Li Tong nodded, accepting Tuo Chongyu's kindness release, but he didn't say much. Such a small matter, even if it makes people feel angry, is not worth further discussion. Moreover, at present, he is mainly considering the affairs of Qianqi, and he has no energy to include the Yulin Army in the scope of consideration.

After saying these words, Kuo Chongyu stopped talking, and waited until he sent the King Dai into a palace gate. He stood under the light and watched the King Dai’s back walk into the hall. His expression was thoughtful. After a moment, he sighed, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he silently retreated into the shadow.

Li Tong didn't wait outside the hall for long. Shangguan Wan'er went out to summon him. Seeing that he was still looking around, he whispered: "Master Xue stayed in the mountain yard and entered the palace to serve as a winter official."

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that Xue Huaiyi, this guy, actually got along with the Guanlong nobles, and entered the palace at night because he was anxious that the Duke and Yi wanted to rescue Su Gan?

While thinking, he saw Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face turning south, and his beautiful eyes looked at the iron phoenix with flapping wings above the Mingtang in the south, and his heart quickly became clear.

It turned out that he thought deeply about the matter. Xue Huaiyi served as a supervisor several times to supervise the construction of major fortifications in the court, and the nominal supervisory units of these projects were all winter officials of the Ministry of Works.

Now Su Gan, who is the Secretary of the Winter Officer, was bitten by the mad dog Lai Junchen. Xue Huaiyi was probably worried that some black materials would be dug out during the supervision of the project, so he entered the palace late at night.

He nodded slightly to Shangguan Wan'er, then walked into the hall. When he saw his grandmother sitting in the hall with her hands on her forehead, he walked in front of her knees and whispered: "I am ashamed. Since I have taken charge of the position of the Northern Gate Guard, I cannot take the matter under my post. It is really a crime to disturb Your Majesty late at night."

Wu Zetian seemed really tired. After Li Tong finished speaking, it took a while before he raised his head and looked down at him. He said in a low tone: "The sin is not on you, it doesn't mean that you will be wrong. You are accustomed to being simple and slow. You should be punished by transcending the rules of the palace. But if you kill his disciples, you will lose your competing behavior. Not to mention that you are nobles in the Tian family, you will not compete with ordinary men. He has the Buddha's connection and the relatives of the Buddha. Such people are not good at looking at them, and their spirits are evil..."

Li Tong felt speechless when he heard this, but he had no way to refute it for a while. Not to mention anything else, just a few outings, this guy can win the triumphant victory with all his heart, which is really hard to explain.

Sometimes Li Tong even wondered if this guy was a senior undercover agent who was inserted by the Turks, and why every time Xue Huaiyi sent troops, he would flee.

Of course, this matter is not without explanation. The Turks were revived, and their strength was incomparable to the same as when they were completely victorious in their early years. Every time Xue Huaiyi sent troops, a large army would set off. The Turks are currently fighting the autumn wind, but it would be very scary if they really rose to the battle of national destiny.

But in his grandmother's opinion, that was another feeling. Several times of using foreign troops, there were not without good generals and assistants, but there were not many great victories that could really boost the whole country. However, Xue Huaiyi, who no one looked down upon, would not disappoint people every time, even if there was no surprise, as if a blessing from God gave her, allowing her to retain a decent position in foreign wars.

"I have a good relationship with Master Xue, but I know what kind of character of Master Xue is. It is because of my blessings and favors me deeply. Master Xue has suffered a hardship and is not conscientious in his words and deeds. Master Xue may be proud of his thoughts, but he is surrounded by his disciples, so it is really difficult to examine them one by one. I am afraid that Master Xue is misled by evil plans and loses his quick attention, and may live up to this blessing that the world envies."

Li Tong didn't want to break any superstitions from his grandmother, but just continued to speak as he said.

After hearing this, Wu Zetian nodded slightly and then said, "Let the master be kept in the forbidden place for now, and all the monks gathered in the White Horse Temple will be dispersed."
